Two hundred and three chapters middleman
Liu Shangang said that Hu Nanqian has always been a person who has never seen her. Many people know her existence, but have never seen her. In today's world, there are no more than five people who have seen her, and my master is one of them.
Some time ago, my master contacted Hu Nanqian and said that he planned to take me to meet her. If he had any business in the future, Hu Nanqian could contact me directly. But at that time, Hu Nanqian blurted out and refused. Until last night, Hu Nanqian called my master without warning and said that she was going to stay in Henan for a week. The implication was that my master could take me to see her.
Liu Shangang also said that after Hu Nanqian rejected my master, he kept sending people to investigate me secretly. When he was in the evil tomb, his master specifically asked me to take the lead. To put it bluntly, it was also to deal with Hu Nanqian's investigation.
The reason why Hu Nanqian investigated me was nothing else, she wanted to know if I had the ability to take over my master's rank.
After hearing what Liu Shangang said, I felt that cold sweat began to occur behind my back: "Liu Shangang, what do you mean? At that time, there was also Hu Nanqian's eyeliner in the evil tomb?"
"Brother Dao, you're making trouble." Liu Shangang responded with laughter: "Why can't her eyeliner follow us to the tomb? Alas, there are many ways to collect intelligence. She doesn't need to install eyeliner in the evil tomb, so she can still know your performance. Do you still remember when Bao Bao tried Huang Changgui when he was interrogating Huang Changgui. At that time, Bao Bao even knew what Zhu Hongguang had dreams at night, so you didn't think it was strange?"
I nodded: "Yes, I really thought it was amazing at that time."
Liu Shangang smiled again: "Hi, what's so amazing? Zhu Hongguang has the habit of talking to sleep. Lao Bao asked someone to find his neighbor and landlord in Thailand. These people have heard the content of Zhu Hongguang's dream talk. If you string them together, you will know what kind of dream Zhu Hongguang had during that time. Hu Nanxi wanted to investigate you the same way. As long as she finds someone to explore the tomb of the old Huang family, she will know how you performed when you were at the tomb. Now that Hu Nanxi is so anxious to contact your master, it means that the people in the old Huang family appreciate your performance."
After that, Liu Shangang added: "In recent years, Grandpa Chai has pushed all the business Hu Nanqi introduced to Grandpa Chai. She must be in a hurry to ask you to make up for Grandpa Chai's shortage."
At this time, Liang Houzai asked Liu Shangang from the side: "How did you know these things?"
Liu Shangang grinned at him: "This morning Grandpa Chai said he would take you to Henan to see a man named Hu Nanqian, so I asked Lao Bao about where this person came from in advance."
When he arrived at the intersection of Wenhua Road and Changshan Street, Liu Shangang got out of the car. He said he would pack up for about an hour and go to my master's house to find me before 7:30.
I looked at my watch and it was already six o'clock in the morning.
After that, I went home with Liang Houzai to pack up my greetings. My mother had already gone to the restaurant to work. My father was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. When he saw Liang Houzai and I packed up my belongings, he shouted to us: "You two are going to go far again?"
While stuffing my clothes into my backpack, I responded to my dad: "Ah, Master said he wanted to take us to Henan. This time the trip was short and I came back in a few days."
Afterwards, my dad told me, "Don't delay my homework", and he didn't say anything. He didn't put down the newspaper and put on his clothes to go to work until almost seven o'clock.
After packing up the things, Liang Houzai and I took our luggage to my master's house to wait. Master Xia was still sleeping in the bedroom, but Master Zhao and Brother Feng had already left. There were teapots and tea bowls that we had not had time to clean up on the coffee table in the living room.
My master came back at about 7:10. When he returned home, the iron box he took out of the earthen house was gone. Five minutes later, Liu Shangang also came to his master's house with a huge suitcase.
The first thing my master did after he returned home was to make breakfast for me and Liang Houzai. When Liu Shangang entered the door, his master was about to go to the yard to get onions and garlic. When he saw Liu Shangang, he frowned: "Fatty, why are you here too?"
Liu Shangang patted his travel suit and smiled at his master: "I'll go with you. Lao Bao has been looking for Hu Nanqi recently. She has finally appeared. I have to convey some things to Lao Bao."
My master took the onion and garlic and walked into the room without looking back, "It's not okay to call, you have to go there for a long time."
Liu Shangang followed my master into the house and said, "It's useless to call me. I don't answer at all. Don't talk about me. She doesn't like to pay attention to Lao Bao calling her. But Grandpa Chai, don't worry, I've booked the ticket myself."
"Okay, if you want to go, go. How is Wang Dapeng's affairs going?" The master said, and the man had already entered the kitchen.
Liu Shangang shouted in the direction of the kitchen: "All have been arranged."
As soon as he finished speaking, the noise from the range hood came from the kitchen, and my master started cooking.
Liang Houzai and I still have the same breakfast every day as before, mainly milk and eggs, and some dishes that match dry food and meat and vegetables, plus tile and cooked garlic are also essential.
Liu Shangang has always liked to eat the food made by my master, but he was not interested in breakfast.
Boiled eggs with milk in white water, which means that people who are used to eating Liang Houzai can stand the taste, but most people really don’t have the same taste.
After breakfast, the master lit a dry tobacco, spit out a while before asking me: "I heard from Lao Chen, did you let go of Wu Xiang yesterday?"
I nodded: "To put it, that should have happened early this morning. The reason was that Wu Xiangsong failed to do it and led the Yin Qi into the entrance of the alley. When I first met him, I thought he had deliberately led the Yin Qi over."
The master smiled helplessly: "Wu Xiangsong has been careless all these years, and his mind has never been on practice."
I asked the master: "If I remember correctly, Wu Xiangsong became a monk halfway through, right?"
The master nodded: "Well, he used to run a restaurant on Shi Xiao. He hit me once a few years ago and then converted to Taoism. Speaking of which, Lao Chen was able to accept him as a closed disciple, which means that this person has a very high talent and a good character, but it's a pity that his character... is really impossible to say."
I asked the master again: "The yin energy in the river veins leaks out, and there will be no trouble in the tomb mountains, right?"
"How could it be fine?" Master spitted out and said, "The yin energy of the river vein is too strong, and the corpse bar is the inner yin and outer yang. Now I am afraid that the yin energy in the river vein will consume the spiritual charm on the spiritual talisman within a year. At that time, the yin energy of the river vein and the yang energy of the corpse bar collide, and the chaotic area of the turf mountain will inevitably be in chaos."
Speaking of this, the master moved his eyes to me and said slowly: "Now, no one can guarantee how long the talisman can last. If the talismans on the gate of the tomb really last for only one year, we can only completely calm the corpse."
After saying that, the master glanced at the altar on the north wall again, and the Fantian Seal was usually placed on the altar.
At this time, Liang Houzai also asked my master: "Grandpa Chai, if the talisman really fails, will it be okay to replace it with a new one soon?"
The master shook his head and said, "It would be great if things were really that simple. The talisman that Lao Chen posted there was quite special and could only be changed once a year. Just a while ago, Lao Chen had just changed the talisman on the door. If he wanted to change it again, he had to wait until this time next year."
After saying this, the master stopped talking about anything else and smoked alone.
Liu Shangang probably saw my master smoking and was a little envious. He took out the cigarette box from his pocket and took out the lighter.
Who would have thought that my master actually snatched his cigarette box and lighter, glared at him again, and said, "Do you quit your cigarette while you are on vacation!"
Liu Shangang stared at the cigarette box and lighter in my master's hand, blinked and asked, "Why did you ask me to quit smoking?"
"Smoking at a young age, it's broken all your lungs," said the master in a very unhappy tone: "It's because of the lungs that I can't practice Qigong well. Oh, by the way, Fatty, I was not by your side two days ago, I didn't forget to practice Qigong, right?"
When the master spoke, he kept staring at Liu Shangang's eyes.
In the past, I heard from my master that if a person lies, his pupils will change. I still don’t know how the pupils will change when a person lies, but every time I lie, as long as my master keeps staring at my eyes, he can easily see through me every time.
Liu Shangang hesitated for a moment before stammering: "Oh, what, practice... I practice. I sink my face into the tank every morning, and I practice for several minutes."
A mysterious smile slowly spread on my master's face: "Oh, I practice every morning, it's not bad."
When I was lying in the past, once the master showed such a mysterious smile on his face, it means that he had seen through me, and the next thing was a tragic punishment.
Liang Houzai and I saw that the situation was wrong, so we quickly packed up our dishes and hid in the kitchen to wash the dishes.
When I entered the kitchen, I heard my master say to Liu Shangang: "Fatty, I remember you were a very honest child before."
Liu Shangang smiled guiltily and said, "Ah? Do I have it? Haha, it should be, it should be, it is good to be honest."
"Oh," my master responded and asked him again: "How have you eaten these two days? Are you sleeping well?"
As soon as I heard the master talk about family matters, I knew that Liu Shangang would definitely be finished.
My master is a man who chats with us juniors and almost never talks about such family matters. He will only talk about these things in two specific situations.
One is when he wants to talk but has nothing to say. The other is when he is preparing to kill us. Usually, at this time, my master will squint his eyes while talking about homework in a very normal tone and look at you with the look of killing people.
I hid at the kitchen door and eavesdropped, and I heard Liu Shangang respond to my master: "It's pretty good, it's good. Yesterday my mother fryed hairtails and slept well, and they were all good."
To be honest, I admire Liu Shangang at that time. If it were me, I would have been kneeling down just by seeing the master squint his eyes.
