Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Master Jiu smiled and said: "I have thought myself smart all my life, but I am unwilling to face the fact that I am getting old. I use a mask to deceive others and myself all day long. In fact, this kind of thing is really stupid.
, you say, how could I, the ninth master, do such a stupid thing? So, the mask was destroyed by me last night. I will never need this mask again. Life, old age, illness and death are destined. Now, all I ask is
One wish comes true.”
Bai Yi smiled and said: "Master Jiu is always a wise man. It takes courage to overcome birth, old age, illness and death."
"Thank you for your praise." Master Jiu finished speaking and looked at the time: "There are still five hours left. Let's go. I will take you to a good place. There may be people everywhere now, but there must be only one person in that place.
us."
Everyone followed Jiu Ye to that special place. The group of people walked eastward along the street. Lei Zi felt something was wrong: "No, I heard from the shop owner that the closest place to the sea should be the west. Jiu Ye, you
Why are you taking us eastward?"
"But the road to Penglai may not be in the west. I heard that the west is unlucky. The east is where the sun rises, which represents hope and the future. Let's go, don't you still believe me?" Master Jiu said calmly.
They continued to move forward, and the direction they walked was completely opposite to that of the others. The crowds were all flocking to the west, which is closest to the sea and is considered the best place to watch the red moon.
After walking about 600 meters eastward, Master Jiu stopped and looked around: "It's been a year and I almost don't recognize this place. Okay, here it is."
Jiuye walked towards a small road on the right. This small road was very claustrophobic. There were not even street lights in this place. At this time, the sky had darkened. If he hadn't looked carefully, he wouldn't have been able to see it. Xie Fangfei hurriedly chased after him.
Go over and turn on the flashlight
, supporting Jiuye and walking in front, Bai Yi looked around and saw that there were residential buildings on both sides, because there was a two-story building on the roadside, but behind the building was a group of bungalows. This small road usually
There were not many people walking, and the road was narrow and a bit rough.
The hill was bumpy and bumpy. As we were walking, we kept tripping over rocks. The hill was almost tripped several times. After passing the group of bungalows, there was a ditch in front of it, with a bridge above it. To be precise, it was made of two wooden boards.
The pieced together "bridge" made of wood
After years of wind and rain, it was no longer so strong. It squeaked when stepped on. Lei Zi glanced down and saw that there was no water below. The rocks below looked so ferocious in the night. Lei Zi sucked it.
Take a breath, step on it quickly, and walk through this ditch.
Tang Sancheng followed Lei Zi. As soon as he walked over, he felt a little strange. This place... Tang Sancheng looked around with his flashlight. It was an open space, about sixty meters away from the main street.
, there are some pear trees planted on both sides. There are no flowers or fruits at this time of the year. There are only some residual leaves hanging on the branches, which makes the place feel particularly lonely.
It happened that Master Jiu stopped here: "Here we are, right here. He brought me the red moon that I saw back then. It was right here that he told me there was a twenty-second secret."
"Here?" Lei Zi couldn't help but said, "What the hell is this place? Why does it make people feel so weird? Tang Sancheng, what are you thinking about?"
"This is an auspicious point." Tang Sancheng said: "It is a naturally auspicious point, but no one has been buried here. It seems that it has been ignored before. Could it be that the red moon seen on the auspicious point is different from that in other places? He brought
Is this the purpose of Master Jiu coming here?"
In the Feng Shui bureau, there are twenty-four dragons and auspicious points, and there are seventy-four bureaus. This place meets the standards of the twenty-four dragons and auspicious points. The left water in this place and the right water are indicative of wealth and longevity. Wealth and longevity? Tang Sancheng
His heart moved, and he looked around to try to find some more clues. Xiaoshan was already walking around curiously. Although the sky was getting dark, according to Master Jiu, the red moon appeared around early in the morning. Now everyone is
Some people relaxed and found a place to sit. Qixie moved some stones over. Everyone sat down and looked at the sky. The weather was very sunny today. The moon was high in the sky, shining with white light. The red moon made everyone feel happy.
Xiao Shan was the most excited when looking forward to it. His jumping up and down made Master Jiu puzzled: "This boy, at such a young age, has such a high level of kung fu. It's really eye-opening."
Bai Yi was silent, and Qi Xie said: "The talent is abnormal."
"Yeah." Master Jiu said, "You're not bad either. I've lived for so long, and you two have the deepest foundation in kung fu I've ever seen. By the way, so does he. Don't blame me for speaking frankly.
His kung fu foundation is far superior to the two of you, and it is unfathomable."
"Master Jiu, you keep calling him, didn't he tell you his name?" Tang Sancheng suddenly realized this problem. Ever since Master Jiu mentioned this mysterious man, he has never mentioned his name directly.
This is a bit strange. How could Master Jiu go to the beach with a stranger whose name he didn’t know to see the red moon?
"I asked." Master Jiu shook his head: "He calls himself a mountain savage. You know, there are many people who practice Buddhism and Taoism who choose a mountain name for themselves. They are otherworldly. So I just call him a mountain savage. But I also know
This is not his real name, so when I mention him, I am still used to calling him by him, after all, that is what he is in my heart."
Wilderness? Tang Sancheng nodded, even if he called himself a name, it still counts as a given name.
Time passed little by little, and everyone felt a little nervous. There was only one hour left, and it was almost early in the morning. Xie Fangfei suddenly approached Bai Yi: "Bai Yi, can I just call you by your name?"
"Of course." Bai Yi knew: "Actually, if you call you Mr. Bai, I would find it strange. If I call you Miss Xie according to foreign customs, I'm afraid it will attract other people's attention. After all, the current environment is
So, but it was so fashionable for you to call me Mr. Bai before, wasn't it?"
"You are right, I did study in Japan." Xie Fangfei said, "Actually, I have something that I have always wanted to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Bai Yi secretly drummed in his heart. This Xie Fangfei was very fashionable, and he had always been curious as to why he became Jiu Ye's assistant.
"About Xu Fu." Xie Fangfei said: "Actually, my father is an archaeologist. You may have heard of his name."
Bai Yi's mind started to stir: "Is it Professor Xie Yan?"
"That's right." Xie Fangfei's face darkened: "Unfortunately, he became a victim in that movement and has passed away. His biggest research subject during his lifetime was the legendary figure Xu Fu. He believed that Xu Fu's body might be
It's in Penglai, but unfortunately I can't find any evidence to prove it. I want to fulfill this last wish for my father, which is why I followed Master Jiu."
"How did you find Master Jiu?" Bai Yi asked: "When you returned to China, you shouldn't know people in our industry. Could it be that Professor Xie and Master Jiu already knew each other?"
"He is indeed a smart man. Yes, not only did my father know Master Jiu, but he also followed Master Jiu to this place." Xie Fangfei said, "Of course, he followed me secretly. Master Jiu didn't know this.
"
"Who says I don't know?" Master Jiu has really good ears: "Don't think that I can't hear you if you whisper. Fang Fei, I already know who you are."
