Nearly 20 years have passed like this.

During this period, Huang Banxian accepted two apprentices, the eldest apprentice was named Hong Zhixing, and he learned his physiognomy. Hong Zhixing is a halfway monk, and unlike his master, he is a physiognomy master who truly believes in what he has learned. At first, he just believed this, and then developed a strong interest in physiognomy. So he didn't do a good business, and came to learn how to meet Huang Banxian. What's interesting is that he really has some talent in this area, coupled with his sincere attitude and loyal and honest face, his fortune-telling business is even better than that of his master. This made Huang Banxian, who had worked for most of his life, very angry. Hong Zhixing knew each other very well and felt that the master was unhappy, so he proposed to go to Chengdu to develop, and he was no longer an eyesore in front of him.

The second apprentice is, of course, Qi Yunsheng. This Qi Yunsheng Huang Banxian was really raised as a son. Therefore, he did not let him learn any hexagram techniques such as the Four Pillars of the Book of Changes, but arranged to go to school in a boarding school in Shiyan City nearby. However, he heard from the school teacher that this kid has not been going to school well recently, and he has learned badly from people in society, and he often fights.

In recent years, the trend of feudal superstition in the interior has become more and more intense, and the concrete expression is that officials worship Buddha, businessmen build temples, and ordinary people practice martial arts, and the social atmosphere is impetuous and noisy. The time has come for Huang Banxian Jue, and it is time to launch the overall situation he has arranged. The ambition that I have fought for for half my life, success or failure in this move.

He first contacted or visited by telephone, and learned that most of the old gentlemen he invited at that time had passed away, and that the two stonemasons in their nineties with strong bodies and bones were not dead, but they were old and confused, and they had no memory at all.

Then he went to the mouth of hell and checked the situation, and found it perfect. With the passage of time, the natural carving of nature has covered up all the artificial traces of the year, and the product is better than I expected. So he laid out the work on the surface as planned, took some photos, and took some corner samples. Then he took these things and went to Chengdu.

In Chengdu, he found his eldest apprentice Hong Zhixing and instructed him to secretly take these photos and dust, book pages and other samples to find some experts to see, give palm eyes, judge the age, or find some appraisal agencies to identify, but do it secretly, not publicize. He knew that his reputation was average, but his eldest apprentice was notoriously loyal. If the average person knows that he took out these photos as soon as he comes up, his first reaction is "Is this a scam?" But if it was taken out by Hong Zhixing, others would at least believe it a little more.

This arrangement is like Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who wish to take the bait. If you take these photos and go around shouting for buyers, people won't believe them. But if you secretly identify and consult, and when others ask, you have to deny it, or insist that you are helping a friend, then others will rush to fall for it. After arranging this move, Huang Banxian returned to Hubei and prepared for his next move.

Originally, he didn't want to involve his second apprentice, Qi Yunsheng. But because of this stinky boy's bad behavior and need to be disciplined, Huang Banxian still decided to call him over to teach him a lesson. At the same time, there are also some jobs that can't be sticky to outsiders, just let him help. Of course, he also has a little selfishness in it, that is, to let this kid see that it is not easy for his master to earn some money, and he will save some flowers in the future.

But I didn't expect that this stinky boy instinctively felt that the master wanted him to work, so he caught a strong man in an emergency.

I haven't seen him for nearly a year, and when I saw the second apprentice again, I found that he had grown a lot taller, a first-year high school student, about 1.70 meters tall, with a thin and sturdy figure, but his eyes had not changed, and he was still so gloomy and indifferent. Huang Banxian sighed, even if he raised Qi Yunsheng as a son, of course, he also treated him as a son. Seeing that he was plagued by the cruel memories of being in the beggar gang back then, Huang Banxian has never found a way to resolve it for him, and he can only love him more.

The reason why Huang Banxian called Qi Yunsheng was mainly to prevent outsiders from sticking to this matter. For this reason, he was looking for old people over sixty years old in his preliminary work, just so that by the time this matter was launched, most of them had already passed away, and there was no possibility of leaking secrets. Now it's a good thing, he, a good apprentice, directly called an outsider himself.

It's not good for him to complain about Qi Yunsheng for this, after all, he didn't make it clear beforehand. Therefore, he could only ask Qi Yunsheng about the situation of the young man and see if he could make it work.

This child is about the same age as Qi Yunsheng, about fifteen or sixteen, just less than one meter seventy meters tall, also a thin body, wearing a brand new blue workshop work clothes. But his eyes are different from Qi Yunsheng, his eyes are cowardly and dodgy, and when he looks at people, his eyes touch people and leave, and he doesn't dare to look at people for a long time.

Qi Yunsheng said that the child's surname was Duan, and he was a native of Shandong, a student of a technical school in Shandong. The reason why they came to Shiyan, Hubei Province is because their technical school organizes students to come to the second automobile company for further study and internship in the summer. But this kid surnamed Duan was afraid of hardship, so he only worked in the workshop for one day and never went again, wandering around the city all day. Their team leader didn't care, they only knew that Shennongjia in Wudang Mountain was busy traveling all day long. They think that anyway, the students pay for the internship themselves, and if they can't learn the ability, the students themselves will suffer, so what do I have to do with it!

"I'm furious!" Qi Yunsheng said to the master at that time, "Master, I really can't stand it, his parents spent so much money to let him go to a technical school, and spent so much money to let him go to the country's most advanced equipment for an internship in the second automobile thousands of miles away, he is not good at learning skills in the workshop, but wandering around the streets all day long, how is this right to give birth to his parents who raised him?" How is it right to be a teacher who teaches him carefully? How can we properly cultivate our great motherland? On the way here, I was angry when I saw him idle, so I dragged him here. ”

Huang Banxian slapped him on the back of the head after hearing this, and scolded with a smile: "Didn't you also collect the money on him on the road, and he spent his parents' money indiscriminately, so it is better to hand it over to you to manage it for him, isn't it?" ”

"Nope! Not really, I don't believe you asked him personally. ”

"Not this time." The young man of the good section glanced at Qi Yunsheng timidly and said.

"And before? Don't be afraid of him, be honest. Huang Banxian asked.

"It's because I was always blackmailed by him before, so I didn't dare to bring money."

"So not this time! Right. Huang Banxian glared at Qi Yunsheng and said to the young man surnamed Duan, "How much money did he take from you?" ”

"It adds up to two hundred and thirty-four." The young man surnamed Duan lowered his head and whispered, not daring to look at Qi Yunsheng's gloomy eyes.

Huang Banxian took out his wallet and counted out three hundred yuan and handed it to him: "The two hundred and thirty-four in this are your money, and the rest is today's salary." ”

The young man surnamed Duan didn't dare to take it, and secretly looked at Qi Yunsheng.

Qi Yunsheng suddenly showed a bright smile that was rarely seen in ordinary times, stepped forward and put his arm around the shoulders of the young man surnamed Duan and said, "My master asks you to take it, don't be afraid, I won't rob you again, don't worry!" ”

"If he robs you again, you will tell me! I'll double as pay you back. Huang Banxian glared at his apprentice, and simply stuffed the money into the pocket of the young man surnamed Duan.

Huang Banxian asked him what his name was, and the young man surnamed Duan said that his name was Duan or Gen, and in addition to his parents, he also had an elder brother.
