01 Mingxiu Plank Road

"You said," I put down the tea.

"Young Master, I'll ask first, how much is your current value?" He was unsure.

"Just say something."

Mr. Chen hesitated for a while and cleared his throat, "Young Master, is it convenient for you to come to Xishan?"

I looked at the watch and it was already half past ten.

"It's afternoon," I said.

"Okay!" Mr. Chen said quickly, "I'll ask Zhang Bao to pick you up."

"No, I'll drive there," I said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I just happened to chat with you."

"Okay, okay..." Mr. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, young master, then I will wait for you in Xishan Jingshu."

"Okay, see you in the afternoon", I hung up the phone.

"Chen Ziwu?" Uncle Jiu asked Gree Literature Network

I nodded.

"He wants to ask you for your business?"

"It seems like that," I poured tea for Uncle Jiu, "I can't accept this matter, but Mr. Chen is my grandfather's friend, and I can't resist his face. Moreover, I haven't seen him for a long time, so I'll go and chat with him in the afternoon."

"Since you can't handle things, you shouldn't go to see him," said Aunt Jiu, "I've met, and the matter is coming in front of you. Do you still have the nerve to turn it off?"

"I don't have a good time to pick it up, I can find a friend to pick it up," I said, "But I have to give it to Mr. Chen for his face."

Aunt Jiu nodded, "Don't break the rules."

I smiled, "Don't worry, I won't."

"This Chen Ziwu, Master Chen Dao, knows all your grandfathers," said Uncle Jiu. "He proposed several times back then that he wanted to become sworn brothers and be the fifth brother, but your Ye family grandfather did not agree."

"Why?" An Yu asked.

"Because he is not qualified," said Jiu Uncle, "our four families are all Kunlun Dharma veins, so they are naturally a family. Chen Ziwu is a disciple of Quanzhen, and he is not the same as us. Moreover, the purpose of his desire to become a sworn brother is actually to learn the secret techniques of our four families. Of course, the old men will not agree."

"So that's what it is..." An Yu understood.

Uncle Jiu looked at me, "Wu Zheng, this Mr. Chen is not bad, but he cannot get too close to him, and he must not break the rules because of him. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to end in the future."

"What do you mean?" I wondered.

"He is usually very law-abiding, but once he gets special, he can't control himself," said Uncle Jiu, "I and your Uncle Qi almost suffered his losses back then."

"Uncle Seven?" I was stunned.

"Before we were born, the old men arranged the order for us," he said, "The eldest of this generation is the son of your Ye family grandfather, named Ye Tian, ​​who is Ye Qian's father. But the elder brother Ye Tian and his sister-in-law... shortly after giving birth to Ye Qian..."

"What's wrong with them?" Ke'er asked.

Uncle Jiu cleared his throat and waved his hand, "I won't talk about him anymore, you will know in the future."

"Well, you continue" I looked at him.

"In our generation, Brother Ye Tian is the eldest; your father, Brother Jun Yu, is the fifth brother, and Brother Jun Huai is the sixth brother; the Lin family has a son and a daughter, namely the seventh brother, Lin You and the tenth brother, Lin Momo."

"Where is the second, third, fourth, and eighth in the middle?" Ke'er wondered.

Uncle Jiu shook his head, "No, this generation is only six of us."

"Why is this?" An Yu was puzzled.

"The old men didn't explain, that's how they arranged it," said Uncle Jiu. "We don't know the purpose of this. But it was sorted out since childhood."

He looked at me, "Old Seven Lin You is your seventh uncle, Lin Xia's father."

"Yeah," I nodded, "You just said, you and Uncle Seven almost suffered the loss of Mr. Chen Dao. What happened?"

"At that time, we were all young and there weren't you," said Uncle Jiu. "That autumn, Uncle Fourth came to Shangjing to tell the truth about a big man, and then lived here for a while. Lao Qi and I heard about it, so we came to Shangjing together and accompanied Uncle Fourth. One was to learn something from Uncle Fourth, and the other was to see the world. At that time, we lived in this house. Uncle Fourth slept in the big bedroom, Lao Qi and your father worked in the living room together, and lived for more than a month."

"Yes", I nodded.

"Later, because there was something wrong with my hometown, the fourth uncle took my fifth brother back first," he continued, "Lao Qi and I booked the next day's ticket. I was going to stay with him at the third uncle's place for a few days. That night, Chen Ziwu came and said that he had encountered a difficult thing and came to ask for help from the fourth uncle."

"We two have known him for a long time, so we let him into the house and asked him what happened. He said that a friend encountered something very evil and he had no choice, so he wanted to ask the fourth uncle to tell him a fortune and see how to break it." He looked at us, "The Wu family has a ancestral teaching, and each generation of fortune tellers. The fourth uncle only looks at the hexagrams and not Feng Shui in this life. Chen Ziwu did this, but in fact he was a little unruly. Seeing that the fourth uncle was not here, he had a sudden idea and asked us if we could help this."

"You helped?" Ke'er asked.

"We didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but we couldn't help but say it again and again, so we went with him to a Taoist temple in the south of the city," said Uncle Jiu, "When we got to that point, it was a very identifiable woman who was possessed by evil spirits. The female ghost she possessed was a very powerful character. Chen Ziwu and the others could not suppress the female ghost, so they were helpless."

"What kind of ghost is so powerful?" Ke'er asked quickly.

"That ghost died suddenly, and it is also a character," said Jiu Uncle in a vague manner, "She was framed by that woman and was tortured to death..."

"Oh... I understand..." Ke'er nodded, "You keep going, I won't talk too much."

"Your Seventh Uncle and I saved that woman and saved the female ghost." Uncle Ninth Uncle looked at me, "After the matter was done, the Taoist brother of Chen Ziwu divided the prayers given by the woman to us in a small part, and the rest was left to the temple."

"Mr. Chen agreed, too?" I frowned.

"Of course he wouldn't agree," said Uncle Jiu, "Because of this, he had a fight with his Taoist brother in front of us. But your Seventh Uncle and I don't care about this. We don't want their fellow disciples to be in harmony, so we donated the little blessing to the temple, and the storm was over."

"What about it later?" I asked.

"Chen Ziwu was very moved and insisted that we stay there for a few days," he said, "It was hard to refuse our affection, so we stayed there. He turned down all mundane affairs in those days, accompanied us all day long, chatting with us. At the beginning, he talked about his friendship with your second and third grandfathers, and about the things that happened back then. Later, as he chatted, he began to ask us some questions about cultivation in the name of asking for advice. The secret techniques of the An family and the Lin family are not passed down, and you and your seventh uncle never inquire with each other. While Chen Ziwu said that he knew the rules of our two families and did not dare to covet them, he asked repeatedly in the name of asking for advice, and kept putting high hats on us. After all, we were still young at that time. Even if we were wary, he was still a little arrogant. Before he knew it, he told him some of the essence of cultivation."

He smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head, "That night, when it was about an important place, there was a sudden thunder outside, and it started to rain heavily. Your Seventh Uncle and I woke up all of a sudden. After the rain stopped, we left. Chen Ziwu tried his best to keep us, but we had decided to leave, and nothing he said was useless. After leaving Shangjing and returning to his hometown, your second grandfather punished me to kneel for three days and three nights because of this. Your Seventh Uncle was not much better either, your third grandfather had not said a word to him for a whole year. Later, in order to ask your third grandfather for forgiveness, he went to the old man's door every morning to kneel down. After kneeling for almost half a year, the old man talked to him."

He let out a long sigh and told me earnestly, "Wu Zheng, Mr. Chen, must not make special contributions to him because of taking care of his face, nor must he be too close to him. Otherwise, he would openly build a plank road and secretly go to Chen Cang, and persistently inquire about the secret techniques of the Wu family in the name of asking for advice. You must know that he has been salivating about the secret techniques of our four families since he was young. This is his obsession and will never be able to change it in his life."

"For example, this time," Aunt Jiu took it, "If you don't follow the rules and stand up for him, then he will ask you for advice on what the reason is based on his own lack of money? Can you give him some advice? This is how your uncle Jiu and uncle Qi were deceived at the beginning."

I nodded, "Uncle Jiu, Aunt Jiu, don't worry, I will pay attention."

"Chen Ziwu's trick is hard to guard against," Uncle Jiu looked at me, "Wu Zheng, Kunlun secret techniques are not passed on to the outer sect. This is the ancestors who have adhered to the ancestral teachings for thousands of years. You passed them to Xiaojun and Keer, they are all your women, which is reasonable. But Chen Ziwu, he is not our own person, you must remember this!"

"Dad, mom, Brother Wu Zheng won't be fooled," An Yu said, "Don't worry."

"He is only nineteen years old after all," said Uncle Jiu, "We are afraid that he will be cheated by Chen Ziwu, so we reminded him."

"Uncle Jiu, you reminded me correctly," I said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to everything according to the rules."

"As long as you follow the rules, there will be nothing wrong," Uncle Jiu told me, "Wu Zheng, remember it."
