Chapter 1: Uncle Nine
Ancient City, Dongguan ......
Deep in the alley, a quaint courtyard!
Not far from the corner, where the afternoon sun can shine...... A snow-white cat that is not big or small, and a sturdy, honest and pure black Chinese pastoral dog, are playing with each other at the door at the moment!
"The guest is coming...... Here comes the guests...... Hello, hello, have you eaten? ”
At the entrance of the small courtyard, behind the feng shui wall, an old man with a white goatee, holding a watering can, was tending to flowers and plants in the courtyard.
Under the eaves, there is an antique varnish birdcage, and a wren with a black body and a yellow corner of his mouth is sending out a wave of greetings!
"Huh...... What a well-behaved wren, we've eaten, what about you? As soon as the words fell, Hong'er took Xie Feng's arm and followed the wind......
"Uncle Nine, we are here, you have always been good?"
"Oh?
It's Xie Feng...... You're finally here! The person next to her must be Ms. Qin Xuanhong, the current general manager of Yuefeng Group, right?
It's better to meet when you hear the voice, Mr. Qin and Brother Xie Feng are together, they are really talented and beautiful, and the couple is deeply in love! ”
I saw that the old man who was called Uncle Nine put down the watering can, turned around slowly, and after brushing a handful of gray goatees, he immediately bowed his hand to the two of them, and greeted each other with a smile while talking!
"Uncle Nine, don't you call me Mr. Qin? You are old and respected, we are juniors, just call me Hong'er! Hehe...... Your old body looks quite tough, and your spirit is also good, we wish you a long life, and live a younger and younger life! ”
As soon as he said that, Hong'er beside Xie Feng suddenly remembered Uncle Jiu's words of "deep affection" just now!
I saw that her face was slightly red...... Quickly let go of the hand holding Xie Feng's arm, looked shy, and deliberately turned his head to tease the talking wren brother under the eaves!
Hahaha...... When Uncle Nine and Xie Feng saw this, they immediately burst into laughter!
Xi'an Ninth Uncle, a legend from the past! No one knows where he came from...... Only Xie Feng knows that he is familiar with astronomy, geography, good at yin and yang, understands gossip, talks about the past and the present, looks at the mountains and looks at the qi, hides the wind and gathers water, divides the gold positioning, and can be called a generation of masters in the literary and feng shui world!
After washing his hands in the golden basin, he disappeared for a while, and hid in this small courtyard deep in an alley near the ancient city of Dongguan, Baxian Nunnery......
The last time I went out, I was invited by his friend to "go on a trip to the Western Regions" a few decades ago, and then I met Mr. Li on the train on the way back!
After Uncle Jiu and Mr. Li said goodbye, they immediately returned to the ancient city, and then this hid for more than ten years...... When he is usually fine, he only occasionally walks around the neighborhood, and the rest of the time he stays at home, walks the dog and cats, and tends to flowers and birds...... The rest is to wait until everything is fulfilled in a few years...... That's when he came out of the mountain again!
In order to fulfill his original promise, after he learned that Mr. Li was killed, he personally went south to find the person who was destined for the green dragon jade pendant, and finally, he met Xie Feng!
Ancient City Eight Immortals Nunnery......
Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace, formerly known as Eight Immortals Nunnery, was built in an unknown age.
According to Qianlong's "Xi'an Mansion Chronicles" and Jiaqing's "Xianning County Chronicles", Zheng Sheng was born in Changle Fang and met the eight immortals in Changle Fang, so he built a nunnery to worship. "The True Immortal Body of the Past Dynasties" said that Lu Yan met Zhong Liquan here in Tang Huichang, and was enlightened by a dream of Huangliang and entered the Tao, which is the origin of the story of "Eight Immortals".
In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1900), the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Emperor Guangxu came to Xi'an to take refuge in the Eight Immortal Nunnery, gave silver to renovate, and awarded the temple the amount of "Ejian Wanshou Eight Immortal Palace", so the Wanshou Eight Immortal Palace got its name.
Wanshou Eight Immortal Palace, referred to as "Eight Immortal Palace", the earliest name is "Eight Immortal Nunnery", is the largest and most famous Taoist temple in Xi'an, located in Xi'an Dongguan Changle Fang, Department of Tang Xingqing Palace partial site, is the mainstream of Taoism Quanzhen School of ten jungles.
Folklore has it that the Eight Immortals Palace of Longevity is the place where Lu Dongbin met Han Zhongli in the Tang Dynasty, and "a pillow of yellow sorghum" broke through the dream of a thousand autumns and realized enlightenment.
For decades, Uncle Nine has stayed in his own yard when he has nothing to do, raising flowers and plants, writing and painting, carrying cages and birds, walking dogs and teasing cats! When I'm really bored, I will go to the nearby Eight Immortals Nunnery for a stroll, and I just look at it and laugh...... For so many years, he has rarely been out of the ancient city, let alone asked about the grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes!
"Xie Feng, I heard about what you did in Yuefeng Group...... The final result, as expected, was handled quite satisfactorily, I think Mr. Li's spirit in the sky should be able to blind! ”
Let's talk about it...... Uncle Nine looked solemn, stroked his long beard again, looked up to the sky and sighed, sighing!
In the hall, on both sides of a slightly age-related black lacquer table of eight immortals, the two of them each hold a bowl of tea, antique Yaozhou celadon, tea is like amber, and the fragrance is on the face!
Hong'er, I didn't want to disturb the conversation between Uncle Nine and Xie Feng, so after thanking Uncle Nine for the invitation to drink tea together...... So he chose to stay alone in the courtyard and continue to tease the wren brother under the eaves...... Under the afternoon sun, the small courtyard is tired of the spring cold!
"Hehe, Uncle Jiu, you are too old! This is what the younger generation should and must do, although the aftermath is not perfect, but it can be regarded as an explanation for Mr. Li!
It's not ...... As soon as I deal with all the mundane affairs of Yuefeng Group, I will deliberately take Hong'er back to the ancient city and make a special trip to visit you. Xie Feng humbly replied to Uncle Nine.
"Oh, yes...... Qinglong jade pendant, do you often take it with you? ”
"Yes, Uncle Jiu, since the last time you gave it to you, you have been wearing it on your chest, and you are always around!"
"Hmm...... So very good, very good...... Do you feel anything has changed recently? ”
"Hehe, I'll tell you the truth, it feels like a strange change......
Remember the last time I called you, I felt incredible? Ever since he wore the Green Dragon Jade Pendant, there always seemed to be a purple mist in his body, rising and spinning...... The stinging pain in my eyes has gradually disappeared for a long time, and I can see things more clearly, and I can even see some incredible pictures?
At the same time, there is an indescribable feeling in my heart, as if I can read the other person's mind! "As for turning evil into good fortune, it is exactly as you said...... After that attack, although I didn't die, I lost Yu'er forever! ”
"Xie Feng, don't be sad...... Origin and extinction, self-meeting, past and present life, the reincarnation of the world, sooner or later, who should come will come, and no one can keep what should go? Condolences! ”
After hearing Yu'er's story, the old man was silent for a moment, sighed, and then said meaningfully: "Sealing the mirror is a kind of sacrifice, and it is a very ancient, simple, and mysterious ritual!" You, me, and she are all people in the mirror, and we are all like the artifacts that have been 'sealed in the mirror' for a long time, until the moment of unsealing is the beginning of rebirth! ”
