An old man walked up to the stage with a scroll of paintings in his hands, and together with Hua Buyi, slowly unfolded it, and then hung it on the incense table that had been arranged. On the painting was a man in Tsing Yi with extraordinary grace.
, the momentum is elegant, he is looking up to the sky, his face is full of compassion.
Shennongmen worships Shennong as its ancestor, so the person in the portrait is naturally the Shennong family.
Nan Bodhisattva shouted: "Send incense and pay homage to the ancestor!"
Zhang Wu handed over three sticks of incense, and Zhang Jun took them, walked in front of the incense table, put incense and paid homage to his ancestors. After nine bows, he returned to where he was. At this time, Hua Buyi was sitting on the side of the incense table with a serious expression.
"Serve tea and become a disciple!"
Zhang Jun took the tea bowl from Zhang Wu, walked to Hua Buyi, knelt down, and offered the tea. Hua Buyi took it, took a sip and handed it back, and Zhang Jun handed it to Zhang Wu.
The complicated etiquette lasted for half an hour. Finally, Zhang Jun knelt in front of Hua Buyi and said respectfully: "Disciple Zhang Jun, pay your respects to Master!"
Hua Buyi helped him up and said warmly: "Disciple, please get up."
At this moment, there was thunderous applause from the audience, and Zhang Jun officially entered Shennongmen. The master and apprentice joined hands to pay tribute to the guests in the audience, and then there was a grand banquet, which was very lively.
Zhang Jun and Hua Buyi walked among the guests, talking and laughing.
Zhang Jun walked to a table and was surprised to find that there was only one person at the table, and it was the old liar. The old liar had already eaten and drank a bottle of wine.
When he saw Zhang Jun, he quickly waved and said with a smile: "Boy, come over and have a few drinks with Master Dao."
Zhang Jun shook his head, he sat aside and said: "I'm talking about you, old Taoist, how did you get in?"
The old Taoist glared: "Nonsense! Does the Taoist need to sneak in? Didn't you invite me?"
Zhang Junxin said that only a ghost would invite you, but he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I must have forgotten." He was about to leave when several people came to the table next door.
When he saw these people, Zhang Jun stood up quickly, because their identities were extraordinary. They were all figures in the Xuanmen Feng Shui world, including the Grand Master Yuwen Jinghua, the Elder Ge Shenxian Ge Chunqiu, and the Earth Master Sun Buer.
These people came over and their eyes rested on the old liar for a moment, but no one said anything. Especially Sun Bu'er, a first-generation earth master, who was very reserved and peeked at him from time to time.
"Seniors, please take a seat."
Ge Chunqiu smiled and said: "Zhang Jun, you are now a serious member of the world. Congratulations."
Sun Buer also said: "Yes, little master, the world is dangerous. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just come to me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, little master?
Sun Buer's face didn't look very good either. He didn't explain. He picked up the wine glass and drank a few glasses of wine. Then he left in a depressed manner, leaving everyone confused and inexplicable.
Zhang Jun scratched his head and asked Ge Chunqiu: "Senior Ge, what did Senior Sun mean just now?"
"I don't know." Ge Chunqiu said, "But he is a dignified earth master and will not joke with you. There must be something hidden in it."
The title of Earth Master has been around for a very long time. After Zhang Daoling was named Heavenly Master in the Han Dynasty, the position of Heavenly Master became a hereditary official title. However, there are many talented people in the wild, and among them the most capable
People who are not interested in the position of Heavenly Master will not be controlled by him.
In addition, the top figures in Qimen are often very proficient in Feng Shui Kanyu, that is, the art of fortune-telling, which is where the name Earth Master comes from. This Sun Buer is a contemporary earth master, and his skill in Kanyu is unparalleled in the world.
Zhang Jun couldn't figure out the connection and could only smile bitterly.
After the old liar had eaten and drank enough, he patted his belly and left, taking two bottles of good wine with him before leaving. The waiters pretended not to see it, but in their hearts they despised this dirty old Taoist.
In the afternoon, the guests dispersed one after another. Only a few close friends of Hua Buyi stayed, and they planned to stay for a few more days. Hua Buyi also took the opportunity to give Zhang Jun a few more days to prepare, because in a few days, he would have to study the Eight Classics seriously. After treatment, I can no longer walk around casually.
Most of the friends who came to congratulate her have returned. Only one Shen Rong stayed, saying that she would stay in the East China Sea for a few days. Lin Xian also brought Su Xiaoyu over. The four women bumped into each other, and Zhang Jun always felt that something was wrong. .
Fortunately, his family in Qinghe County called and told him that there was something going on at home and asked him to come back quickly. Zhang Jun was sure that there would be nothing serious at home, otherwise his uncle would have informed him in advance. He had not been home for a long time, so he was ready to leave the next day. .
Suddenly dodging the attack of the women, Zhang Jun felt quite relaxed.
That afternoon, the plane landed at Tanglin Airport. When he walked to the pick-up gate, he saw Xu Feihu standing there with a smile and Zhang Jun waving repeatedly.
Zhang Jun got into the police car of the Public Security Bureau, and the car roared towards Qinghe County. In the back seat, Xu Feihu and Zhang Jun were sitting side by side. He obviously did not expect that Xu Feihu would come to pick him up, so he asked directly: " Director Xu, are you here specifically to pick me up today?"
Xu Feihu nodded, he is now the police chief of Qinghe County, and said: "Brother Zhang, I got the news about your return home from your family, so I came to pick you up early in the morning."
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
Xu Feihu nodded with a heavy expression: "I talked with Song Shiping on the phone a few days ago. According to him, brother, you are a real person but don't show your face, and you don't show your true self when you show your face. He said that you are a detective in Kyoto and can solve any case."
"In the past few days, several bizarre cases have occurred in Qinghe County. Five villagers have died mysteriously one after another. The cause of death is unknown. The superiors are pressing hard, allowing the bureau to solve the case within a month. But now two weeks have passed. No clues were found."
Zhang Jun smiled slightly: "I'm not much of a detective, but I can really help you with this matter."
"That's great. I'll pick up the case for you today and then go investigate the case tomorrow." Xu Feihu said happily.
"No, just take me home and I'll treat you to a drink another day."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After sending Zhang Jun home, Xu Feihu left.
Back home, Zhang Guozhong was holding a newspaper and reading, while his mother was cooking in the kitchen. When he saw him coming back, Zhang Guozhong said: "Xiaojun is back, hurry up and wash your hands, let's eat."
Zhang Jun felt depressed for a while and said: "Dad, what happened? You have to call me to go home? I asked on the phone and you didn't tell me. Could it be that something happened?"
At this time, her mother, Lu Hongmei, came out wearing an apron. When she heard her son's question, she smiled and said, "Xiao Jun, you are now a grown-up. It has been more than three years since you graduated, right? You are twenty-four years old." Big man, why don’t you find a partner quickly?”
Zhang Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, you asked me to come here, didn't you just tell me about a date?"
"Yes, yes." Lu Hongmei perked up, "Xiaojun, let me tell you, Xiangtian, your aunt and aunt are running to our house every now and then, rushing to introduce you to someone. Those girls, tsk tsk , So handsome! Mom was moved when she saw them, so I deliberately paid attention to a few of them for you to take a look at."
Zhang Jun was speechless for a while. Well, Baba ran home and came for a blind date. He coughed and said, "Mom, actually I have a girlfriend."
Lu Hongmei obviously didn't believe it: "Don't lie to your mother, you want to have a girlfriend, why don't you bring her home?"
No matter how he explained it, Lu Hongmei just didn't believe it and insisted that they must go on a blind date, otherwise they would be treated according to family law.
Zhang Jun originally wanted to leave home quietly and hide, but then he thought that doing so might make his mother angry. Besides, it was not convenient for Lin Xian to come over at the moment, so she might as well deal with it first.
Thinking of this, he smiled and asked: "Mom, how many of them are you going to let me meet?"
"It's rare for you to come back. Of course, the more the better." Lu Hongmei smiled happily, "Mom has prepared nine for you, and you have to see them all within three days. Ordinarily, our family's current conditions are not bad, so why not?"
Find a better girl."
Zhang Jun was more straightforward and said: "Mom, is it not easy to meet each other? We will do it in one day tomorrow. I will see my son one at a time."
Lu Hongmei scolded: "Nonsense! Blind dates are a big deal and you have to be careful. You can only meet three in a day."
Zhang Jun was helpless. After dinner, he called Xu Feihu and said that he might not be able to escape in the next three days and it would take a few days to help him solve the case. Xu Feihu knew that it was useless to rush, so he calmed down and prepared to wait.
Zhang Jun three days.
At night, Zhang Jun used golden light to help his mother regulate her body. Now that his internal energy has become stronger, he can do it more easily. He found that his parents' physical condition was much better than before and they were full of vitality. Judging from this situation, they would live to be eighty or ninety years old.
Not a problem.
The next day, the third aunt, the eldest aunt, and the second aunt and aunt all arrived. They were the main force in introducing Zhang Jun's girlfriend. The first person he met was introduced by the third aunt. It is said that he has a good family background and has studied abroad.
, currently working in a Fortune 500 company.
Zhang Jun looked at the photo of the other party. Although it was specially processed, it can be seen that the girl looks pretty good.
The place where the two met was a coffee shop. In a small place like Qinghe County, naturally there would be no high-end coffee shops. Zhang Jun waited for more than an hour while drinking inferior coffee.
No matter how patient he was, he felt slightly annoyed. Why did this woman have no sense of time? He was about to leave when he saw two women, Shi Shiran, walking over.
Of these two women, one is in her fifties and is pretty well maintained. The other is in her twenties and nineties. Although her appearance is three points worse than in the photo, she still looks pretty good.
The young woman wore very heavy makeup. She wore black stockings and a black gauze skirt. She sat down with a very proud look on her face.
"Are you Zhang Jun?" she asked.
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "I am, and you are Hou Fangfang, right?"
The woman said coldly: "Before contacting me, I want to ask you a few questions."
Zhang Junxin said it was quite straightforward and said, "Okay, you ask."
“Have you bought a house in a first-tier city?”
Zhang Jun thought for a moment and realized that he only had a house in Donghai, but it was a gift from Qiao Ba and was not counted as something he bought, so he said honestly: "I didn't buy it."
The woman frowned: "People of my level must work in first-tier cities. I don't have a house. How will we live in the future?"
Zhang Jun said nothing, looking very guilty and inferior.
