When Sun Yiqiu was in a daze, Sun's father came back with a bucket. Sun Yiqiu hurried over to help. Together, they poured the water into the large water tank next to the stall. In the process, Sun Yiqiu also talked about what had just happened. After pouring the water, he took out the kit and showed it to his father.
Sun's father took the brocade bag and looked at it carefully.
"This kit is well made and doesn't look cheap. From what you said, if the guest officer is not a lunatic, he might be an expert. I will go to the Chenghuang Temple to see Lao Miao Zhu after closing the stall to see if he has this kit. No problem, just take it with you if it’s okay.”
In fact, Sun Yiqiu also likes this kit. It is small and exquisite, and the embroidered text is also very beautiful.
Sure enough, after seeing it, the priest of the City God's Temple told Sun's father that there was nothing wrong with the kit, but the charm was not a common pattern, he didn't know what it was painted on, and he didn't know whether it worked or not.
And the weird guest Sun Yiqiu mentioned was on his way in a hurry. He had completed the journey in less than two hours, which would have taken two or three days for ordinary people. At this time, he had arrived at the gate of an old house in Desheng Mansion.
This mansion occupies a vast area, but it is very charming. The buildings are old and new and have been repaired several times. The plaque at the door simply says "Wei Mansion", which is the ancestral home of the Wei family.
It's just that not many people in the Wei clan, from the clan leader to the descendants, live in the ancestral home now. The Wei clan has spread all over the world, but the ancestral home is still extremely important to the Wei clan. Under the rotation system, it has always been Someone is taking care of the repairs.
After the visitor went through verification and notification, and learned where the person he was looking for was, he didn't even bother to drink. He came all the way to Yunge, where not only the authentic copy of the Wei family's genealogy was stored, but also many materials and books. Most of them are ancient books, and there are many rare and unique copies.
The visitor walked to the door of Yunge and showed the jade sign. He glanced at the cornices, horns, carved patterns and hanging bells. There were mysteries and restrictions everywhere in the seemingly simple building.
"Wei Zhengming? What are you doing here?"
There was a voice in Yun Pavilion, and Wei Zhengming hurriedly answered.
"This junior has something important to report to the clan elder."
"Well come in."
The door of the Cloud Pavilion opened automatically. Wei Zhengming put away the jade plaque and walked in. The moment he entered the pavilion, he felt an obvious difference. It was not a fluctuation of spiritual energy, but that there was almost no wind and dust after entering the pavilion, and the temperature and humidity remained constant all year round. Consistent, and there is a faint scent of book ink.
"Come with me."
"yes."
Wei Zhengming bowed his hands to the old man guarding the door, and followed him through the atrium and up the stairs. He walked five floors before stopping. There were many rooms here, but the walls and doors of each room were made of transparent glass. There are superb calligraphy notes on the interior collections, and numerous bookshelves and collections can be seen through the glass, which is low-key and luxurious.
In the second room on the right, there is an old man with white beard and white hair reading a book there. He is sitting on a Taishi chair, with one hand resting on his head and the other holding a book. On the table are sandalwood, tea, preserved fruits, pastries, etc. There is no shortage of everything, especially the four treasures of the study.
"Wei Zhengming meets the clan elders!"
"What's up?"
The old man didn't raise his head and asked in a low voice. After Wei Zhengming finished the ceremony, he took a few steps forward.
"Elder of the clan, the dark clouds in Ning'an County were approaching fiercely, and then they suddenly dissipated, which is really not normal. I happened to be nearby, so I went to check it out, especially to the Tianniu Fang, which I was more concerned about in the ancestral training."
The old man raised his head and put down his book. When he mentioned Tianniufang in Ning'an County, he had to become serious even if it was just for show.
"What did you find?"
Wei Zhengming took out a greasy bowl and chopsticks from his sleeve and explained at the same time.
"This piece of bowl and chopsticks is from a noodle stall on the street outside Tianniufang. It was bought by a well-behaved character beauty and returned when she took it out for eating. The residual fragrance on it is strange, and it must be ambergris!"
The clan elder's expression became serious. He took the bowl and chopsticks and smelled it. There was indeed a strange fragrance remaining, but it was not clear whether it was ambergris.
"Zheng Ming, can you confirm that this scent is ambergris?"
"Old Hui nationality, when this junior was helping in Tianyuzhou a few years ago, he once handled a piece of goods, which was a small bottle of authentic ambergris. Its fragrance was almost the same as this one, and the watery charm was exactly the same, so I’m sure this was left by the Lord of Shuize.”
"So the dark clouds are also caused by the real dragon? The real dragon...the real dragon that goes to Ning'an County, is it Mr. Yinglong or the Empress Ying? But why..."
The clan elder looked solemn, stood up from his position, walked back and forth, and then glanced at Wei Zhengming.
"follow me."
The two hurriedly left the room and went up the stairs again. When they reached the ninth floor, there was only one room, and the four walls inside the room were made of spiritual jade. The old man pushed the door in, and Wei Zhengming followed him. There are only six bookshelves, and on the middle shelf is the authentic copy of the Wei family genealogy.
The old man rummaged through the lower part of the bookshelf in the middle, pulled out a thick tome, put it on the desk in the room, and then slowly opened it.
Wei Zhengming knew this book. Many of the things inherited by the Wei family came from this book. He took a quick glance and saw in the cracks that the person who wrote the book on the title page was none other than his ancestor Wei Wuwei.
The core descendants of the Wei family are qualified to read this book at a certain stage, and it is even a mandatory rule. However, the content is complicated, and it is inevitable that there will be many places that cannot be remembered after a long time.
The clan elder read through it carefully, and finally found a place that he vaguely felt matched in his mind, and his heart was slightly shocked.
"Is that stunning woman wearing green clothes?"
Wei Zhengming quickly answered.
"Old Hui, that woman is wearing a Confucian shirt and is bright red in color."
"Yanhong? Is that noodle from Sun's noodle stall?"
"Exactly, six or seven bowls and five pairs of chopsticks."
The clan elder kept scanning several places in the book, his eyes flickering.
"Is it possible... Is it possible that the great master's dojo is about to appear in this world!"
Wei Zhengming's heartbeat was also speeding up, thinking of a clan legend that only the core disciples knew.
"Elder of the clan, is it Ju'an Xiaoge?"
The clan elder nodded slightly.
"It is the eldest master's dojo, Ju'an Xiaoge. This dojo is supported by the tree with the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. It is beyond the three realms and has been hidden for nearly a thousand years. Even if the family's annals is conclusive, we, the descendants of the Wei family, have no doubts. Few people think it’s just a legend, but Ju’an Pavilion does exist, and it’s in Ning’an County, at least it used to be there!”
"It is said in the book left by our ancestors that the eldest master and Lord Tongtian Jiang Yinglong were close friends, and they often discussed Taoism with each other. Before Ju'an Xiaoge retired from the world, he often had contact with the Ying family, and the eldest master's favorite food was... There is Sun’s Braised Noodles outside Tianniufang.”
The Wei family's ancestral home was on duty, and one of the things that needed to be confirmed was whether Sun's noodle stall was still there, but not too much interference, so the old man was quite impressed.
"You have practiced in Yunshan Temple for twelve years, and your spiritual awareness is very comparable to that of others. It is more likely to be a kind of fate! This matter is of great importance and must be informed to the clan leader immediately. Please prepare yourself and go to heaven with me."
"God?"
Before Wei Zhengming could react, the old man had already smiled.
"It is now the Tianmu Dharma Assembly in the north of the heaven. The clan leader is invited to attend. Being in the Luxuan Sea of Clouds, it is natural for him to go to heaven."
"Yes, clan elder, no need to prepare, I can set off immediately!"
Wei Zhengming was even more excited now. For him, Ju'an Pavilion was a bit illusory after all, but the majesty and mystery of heaven were obviously more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"There's no need to yell so harshly. If you think about it carefully, our relationship isn't that far apart."
"Yes, great-uncle!"
"Hahahaha, okay, let's go."
The old man nodded with satisfaction, took Wei Zhengming away from the Cloud Pavilion, and stepped directly onto the clouds to rise from the ground.
A few days later, the clan leader of the Wei family also pleaded guilty and left the Dharma gathering, but naturally he could not attract as much attention as Old Long.
