After Chen Zhaofan and Chu Zhen's master and apprentice left Chenjiagou, they first took a long-distance bus to the capital of Henan Province in the county seat, and then took a night train to Rongcheng, the capital of Bashu Province, and then transferred to a long-distance bus to Qingcheng County, which happened to be more than five o'clock in the afternoon on the 17th day of the first lunar month (February 22 of the Gregorian calendar).

Qingcheng County is located in the west of Dujiangyan, named after the Qingcheng Mountain, at this time the Qingcheng Mountain has not become a 5A-level national scenic spot in later generations, and the county town of Qingcheng has not formed a scale, basically there is no commercial atmosphere, it is a typical remote mountainous county.

The master and apprentice came to Qingcheng County, and they were a little tired all the way, so they found the most "luxurious" local county government guest house to check in, and prepared to visit Qingcheng Taoism the next day.

Speaking of the Qingcheng Taoist School, it is undoubtedly the most powerful unofficial organization in the entire Qingcheng area, and to a certain extent, the influence of the Qingcheng Taoist School in the people is still ranked above the official.

According to legend, the Qingcheng Taoist sect began with the Qingcheng Taoist (Qingcheng Patriarch), and there is a legend that the Qingcheng Patriarch stepped through the void and became an immortal in the martial arts world.

No one can prove whether this legend is true or not, but Qingcheng Taoist School, as a major sect in the martial arts world, is second only to the three super sects of Shaolin Wudang Taiji, and the status of Emei School, Kongtong School, Huashan School, Bagua Gate, Diancang School, Snow Mountain School, Xingyi Gate and other sects is equal.

In fact, there is another sect in the martial arts cultivation world, whose strength is unfathomable, and it is faintly above the three super sects, that is, the Kunlun faction.

Only the grandmaster-level masters of the three super sects know that in fact, the Kunlun sect is the first sect in the martial arts world.

However, the status of the Kunlun faction is detached, except for holding a Kunlun Discussion every twenty years and cooperating with the three super sects to manage the Yaochi Holy Land, they usually never have any dealings with the martial arts world and the world, so most people in the martial arts world think that the three super sects are the strongest.

As one of the veteran grandmasters of the Taiji Sect, Chen Zhaofan still has a fairly comprehensive understanding of the current martial arts cultivation world as a whole.

Chen Zhaofan came to visit the Qingcheng Taoist Sect more than 20 years ago, and he had a friend who was an inner disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, and now he should also be an elder-level figure, because when Chen Zhaofan came to be in charge of the Qingcheng Taoist Sect, he was still the last head of the sect.

The master and apprentice chatted a few words in the guest house room, Chu Zhen couldn't sit still, Chen Zhaofan understood what Chu Zhen was thinking, took out two big unity sheets from his pocket, and said to Chu Zhen:

"Stinky boy, hurry up and call, remember to take me to greet your parents too!"

Chu Zhen didn't say anything polite to the master, took the banknote and thanked him, and then ran to the front desk of the guest house to make a call.

There is a long-distance telephone room next to the front desk of the county government guest house, and it is very troublesome to make long-distance calls in these days, and it is not OK to just pick up the phone and dial it.

For example, here, Chu Zhen has to register the phone number he wants to call at the front desk first, and in some places he has to pay a deposit, and he can only register one number at a time, and then Chu Zhen will wait in the phone room, and the operator will help you dial the phone.

At this time, it was almost six o'clock, and Chu Zhen's first call was home, and it was his mother Gu Xiyun who answered the call.

As soon as he heard Chu Zhen say goodbye, Gu Xiyun began to ask non-stop, after all, this was the first time his youngest son had gone far away.

Chu Zhen had no choice but to patiently tell his mother about the situation along the way, but he didn't say much about things related to martial arts, but just told his mother that he had now become a true disciple of the Taiji Sect, one of the three super sects in the martial arts world.

When Gu Xiyun asked what this true disciple was and what was the use, Chu Zhen didn't know how to explain it, so he simply told his mother that the status of this true disciple was equivalent to the treatment of a first-level cadre.

Gu Xiyun still thought that his son was talking nonsense, and he angrily scolded Chu Zhen on the phone for having an itchy butt, right?

As long as you are still a division-level cadre, your father is now only a deputy director-level! You kid went out to play and learned to run the train with his mouth full of in a few days?

Chu Zhen really couldn't withstand his mother's "offensive", so he had to make a trick, telling his mother that the long-distance phone call would cost eight cents a minute, Gu Xiyun was anxious when he heard it, and hurriedly explained a few words such as being full and warm, and then took the initiative to hang up the phone.

In these years, domestic long-distance calls are indeed not cheap, the first three minutes are charged for two yuan, and after three minutes, five cents a minute, less than one minute is billed according to one minute.

After talking to my mother for more than four minutes, I have already spent half of the big unity.

Qin Zheng had already gone to Pengcheng with his parents, and Chu Zhen didn't know her new contact method yet, so Chu Zhen called Zhuang Yawen, the big girl in the capital, for the second time.

Zhuang Juncheng, who answered the phone, their family left from Shandong Zhuang Yawen's grandmother's house four days ago and returned to the capital, Chu Zhen chatted with Zhuang Juncheng first, and learned that Liudingzhai's business was very prosperous during the New Year, and Nian Yuqing and Chen Jun also cooperated very tacitly, and when Chu Zhen came back, he could get a large amount of dividends.

When Chu Zhen said on the phone that their master and apprentice were going to Tengchong in southern Yunnan in a few days, someone next to Zhuang Juncheng actually interjected, it turned out that Niu Mo happened to be eating at Zhuang Juncheng's house today, and as soon as he heard Chu Zhen say that he was going to Tengchong, he couldn't help but grab the conversation, and told Chu Zhen that he was also going to Tengchong to participate in a jade rough auction on February 25, and asked Chu Zhen to stay at the Yudu Hotel after arriving in Tengchong, and make an appointment to act together after meeting there.

Chu Zhen was very happy when he heard that Niu Modu was also going to Tengchong in southern Yunnan, because he knew that Niu Modu must be familiar with Tengchong, and he was also very interested in the jade rough auction mentioned by Niu Modu. The so-called jade rough auction should be the legendary gambling stone, right?

After chatting with Zhuang Juncheng and Niu Modu for five or six minutes, Chu Zhen was a little distressed about the phone bill, and the main owner hadn't started yet!

Fortunately, Niu Mo was interested, and then handed over the phone to Zhuang Yawen.

The girl in Beijing is really strong, and the first sentence when she picks up the microphone is:

"Chu Zhen, miss me, right?"

Before Chu Zhen could react, Zhuang Juncheng's heart was filled with sourness, this is really a big woman!

Chu Zhen was not polite, let Zhuang Yawen just listen, no need to reply, and then gave Zhuang Yawen an extremely ambiguous set of "sweet words and sweet words", which made the big girls in the capital a little unbearable, her little face was crimson with shame, her little heart was fluttering, and her sweet smile made Zhuang Juncheng next to him very apprehensive.

Dad was beside her, Zhuang Yawen couldn't say anything too much, she told Chu Zhen that Qin Zheng had called her, and then told Chu Zhen Qin Zheng's number, and then Zhuang Yawen told Chu Zhen that she and Zhang Chuang went to the Tianma Club to see Hei Xiu yesterday, and Hei Xiu was all right to reassure Chu Zhen.

Chu Zhen also missed Hei Xiu in his heart, and he was naturally very happy to hear that everything was fine with it.

After ending the call with Zhuang Yawen, Chu Zhen immediately dialed the phone number of Qin Zheng's new home given by Zhuang Yawen, and the person who answered the phone was Qin Zheng's mother, Wu Lanying.

Wu Lanying couldn't help but be a little annoyed when she heard that it was Chu Zhen calling, and said in her heart, it seems that this kid is really obsessed with his daughter!

Chu Zhen very politely bowed to Wu Lanying in his old age, and then asked if he could talk to Qin Zheng for a few words.

Wu Lanying replied politely and obviously with a taste of alienation:

"Classmate Chu Zhen, right? Thank you and wish you and your family a happy Chinese New Year. However, Xiaozheng is not at home today, her father took her to participate in the event, you may also know that Qin Zheng and his father are the leaders of Pengcheng. Today, there happened to be a Pengcheng Outstanding Youth Commendation Conference, and there was a social activity after the meeting, which was attended by many outstanding young people and students from all walks of life in Pengcheng. I'm not afraid that Qin Zheng will feel bored when she first arrives, so I'll let her go there to meet more friends. ”

Chu Zhen couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard this, it seems that the future mother-in-law has some prejudices against herself!
