Chapter 2: Uncle Nine

A millennium later?

Ancient City, Xi'an, Dongguan ......

Deep in the alley, a quaint courtyard.

Not far from the corner of the wall, where the afternoon sun can shine......

A snow-white cat and a strong, honest, 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 gray 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 bird, we've eaten it, what about you? As soon as the words fell, Hong'er took Xie Feng's arm and followed the wind......

"Uncle Nine, we're here, you've always been good, aren't you?"

"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 are deeply in love? ”

"The couple are in deep love...... The couple ...... affectionately, "The yellow-mouthed wren brother is simply like this, and he blurted out that sentence again following Uncle Jiu's voice."

I saw that the old man who was called "Uncle Nine" immediately put down the watering can in his hand, turned around slowly, looked at the bird by the way, and then couldn't help laughing......

"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 strong, and your spirit is good? We wish you old age, a long life, and a younger life......" Just said, Hong'er next to Xie Feng, somehow? Suddenly, I remembered the words "the couple is deeply in love" just now......

So his face flushed slightly...... Quickly let go of the hand that was holding Xie Feng's arm, looked shy, and deliberately turned his head to tease the talking wren brother under the eaves?

"Hahaha......"

Seeing this, Uncle Nine and Xie Feng immediately laughed heartily.

The Ninth Uncle in the Ancient City, 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 grandmasters in the antique feng shui world!

After washing his hands in the golden basin, he disappeared for a while?

In fact, for decades, Uncle Nine has been staying in this small courtyard in the depths of an alley near Dongguan, near the Eight Immortals Nunnery, in the ancient city......

Last time outing?

He was invited by a friend to "go on a trip to the Western Regions" a few decades ago...... So there was, and later met Mr. Li on the train on the way back.

After Uncle Nine and Mr. Li parted?

He returned to the ancient city, and then he was hidden for more than ten years...... When I'm fine, I just walk around the neighborhood once in a while, and occasionally visit the antique market, but most of them just laugh and don't say anything?

The rest of the time is to stay at home, walk the dog and cat, and play with flowers and birds......

Is he waiting for someone to arrive? When all is fulfilled...... That's when he came out of the mountain again!

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, he has rarely walked out of the ancient city, let alone asked about the grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes......

"Xie Feng, I heard about the things you did in Yuefeng Group...... "The final result, as he expected, was handled quite satisfactorily, and Mr. Li's spirit in the sky should be able to be blinded!"

Thinking of this...... Uncle Jiu's expression suddenly became solemn, he stroked his long beard again, looked up to the sky and sighed, and sighed at the same time?

In the hall, on both sides of a slightly old black lacquer table of eight immortals, the two of them each hold a bowl of tea, antique Yaozhou celadon, tea is like amber, fragrant!

Hong'er, who didn't want to disturb the two, saw that Uncle Nine and Xie Feng were talking, so she chose to stay outside the window alone and continue to tease the birds 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 too perfect, but it can be regarded as an explanation for Mr. Li! ”

"Isn't it? As soon as I dealt with all the mundane affairs of Yuefeng Group, I deliberately took Hong'er back to the ancient city and made a special trip to visit the old man? Also, I want to hear your old teachings in person...... By the way, answer questions? ”

Xie Feng humbly replied to Uncle Nine.

"Oh, yes...... Qinglong jade pendant, do you often take it with you? ”

Uncle Nine looked at Xie Feng and suddenly asked casually.

"Yes, Uncle Nine, since the last time you gave it to you, you have been wearing it on your chest, and you are always around."

Xie Feng nodded yes with a serious face.

"Hmm...... So very good, very good...... Do you feel anything has changed recently? Uncle Nine stroked his beard and continued to ask with a satisfied smile.

"Hehe, don't hide it from Uncle Nine, do you feel some strange changes recently?" Xie Feng happened to think about it, so he took the opportunity to express the doubts in his heart......

"I remember the last time I called you, I felt a little incredible...... Ever since I wore the Qinglong Jade Pendant, I always seemed to feel a purple mist in my body, often rising and rotating in my internal organs? ”

"Besides, the stinging pain in my eyes has miraculously disappeared for a long time? Now I can see things more clearly, and sometimes, I can even see some images that are more incredible than before? ”

"At the same time...... I still have an indescribable feeling in my heart, as if I can read the other person's mind immediately? As for turning evil into good fortune? And that's exactly what you say...... Since that attack...... Although I will not die, I will lose Yu'er forever! ”

Xie Feng said to Uncle Nine with a sad face.

"Xie Feng, don't be sad...... Fate is born and fate is extinguished, and we will see each other? The past and present lives are like sealing mirrors, and the world is in reincarnation...... Sooner or later, those who should come will come, and no one can keep those who should go, mourn! ”

Uncle Nine ...... after hearing Yu'er's story

So, after a moment of silence, he suddenly sighed, and said meaningfully to Xie Feng: "Sealing the mirror is an ancient ritual, from reality to fantasy, you and I are all people in the mirror?" ”

Then, he slowly revealed all the secrets of the Qinglong Jade Pendant......
