She just came into the room to deliver tea. I was very surprised. How did she know that Master Liu and I had returned to the room? Has she been spying on us? But there are only three rooms on the second floor. One is where Master Liu's daughter lives, and the other is where we are. The door of the last room is open. It looks like a bedroom. There are some sundries. I guess it belongs to Master Liu. The bedroom, she should live downstairs, what
I have too many questions about her, but I can only think about them in my heart, so I don’t have much time to ask.
The girl named Qiqi put down her tea and was about to leave, but Master Liu stopped her. At this time, she was obviously in a normal state, her eyes were not wandering, and she had no weird movements. Liu When the master called her, she stopped and waited calmly for Master Liu's instructions.
"Shen Xing, you can take him to the ghost market next month and teach him some rules along the way." Master Liu gave this instruction.
After hearing this instruction, the girl named Shen Xing had a hesitant expression on her face. I saw it freshly. Speaking of it, this was the first time I saw a normal expression on her face.
She did not speak, but Master Liu picked up the teapot in front of him, took a sip of tea and said: "I know what you are worried about. Just go and go. It will only be a week at most. I should take care of you." It will be taken care of.”
When Master Liu said this, Shen Xing finally nodded hesitantly.
Looking at her leaving figure, Master Liu sighed and suddenly said to her: "It's not an option if this goes on. You can leave anytime, right?"
Shen Xing's back shook as he left, and he suddenly said: "Let me stay for one full year. I only ask for this one year." After saying this very simply, Shen Xing left.
This is the first thing she said in a normal state. She said two words to me before. Her voice was unusually erratic, and it was unclear what her original voice was like, but this time I heard it. Her voice seems to be clear and crisp, which makes people feel that she should be a very cheerful person, right
The conversation between her and Master Liu was also inexplicable. I couldn't understand it, but Master Liu didn't mean to explain it.
But I couldn't help but ask Master Liu: "Is she also a Taoist?"
"She is not, she is just an ordinary girl with the same obsession as me. I admire her very much. An ordinary girl can find a ghost market." Master Liu answered me simply.
This sentence makes me feel weird. It turns out that you also know that you are obsessed with it? Then why don't you let your daughter go
I knew there were things I shouldn't say, but at this moment I really couldn't help it. I looked at Master Liu and said seriously: "Master Liu, you might as well let it go. When living is also a kind of pain. "
The sound of 'bang' was the sound of Master Liu's teapot stomping on the table. His originally calm face suddenly became distorted. It was distorted by anger, and his eyes almost burst out with anger. Looking at me, it looked like he wanted to kick me out the next moment.
I originally suppressed my inner thoughts because of my master's affairs, but after all, I still couldn't escape the line in my heart. If I could really turn a blind eye and deliberately pretend to be so-called stable because of my age, then I would not be my master's. Apprentice now.
"What is the bottom line? It is a line that can be greater than your own wishes and desires. If you can't surpass this, don't say you have any bottom line. What is the bottom line of our lineage? Dao and righteousness, Dao should be understood by oneself. Righteousness is not loyalty, you can understand it very simply as conscience."
Master's words are the motivation that supports me. Now that I have said it, I have no regrets. Facing Master Liu's eyes, I am calm but determined.
A bellows-like wheezing sound resounded in the room. It was the sound of Master Liu breathing out of anger. After a long time, he sneered and said: "You guys are very capable and have a bad temper. There are so many stinky rules. They are all like stones in a cesspit, but they still like to jump out and tell others what to do! You don’t need to worry about my daughter’s affairs. Come here on the 5th of next month, and I will tell you to go to the ghost market. What to do, how to get there! As for when you were still like a stone in a cesspit, I couldn't control you. Do it if you like or not. You can't get any clues from me, so just go."
I stood up calmly, bowed to him, and left.
Master once said that he was a great father who used his own life to keep his daughter alive. But now, what would Master say? Don't do it to others? I walked out of the room, glanced at the girl's room, shook my head, and walked away.
After going downstairs, Qinhuai held his shoulders and walked back and forth below. When he saw me coming down, he rushed over like the people who were looking forward to liberation saw the People's Liberation Army, and asked: "Chengyi, how are you? This matter is settled. ?"
"Yes, he has clues. But he needs me to go to the real ghost market. As for what to do, he didn't say." I simply told Qinhuai that I had nothing to hide from him.
"Ghost market? What is it? Brother, can I go?" Qinhuai was excited. Isn't this what he and Su Rou were looking forward to? I even wonder if this guy will secretly call Su Rou tonight.
These two boys always feel that life is not exciting enough, and they are not afraid of actually kicking the iron plate one day.
I had too many worries and worries in my heart, and I had no interest in talking, so I said tiredly: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
When I returned to the hotel, I briefly chatted with Qinhuai and then sent the boy to bed, because I was always thinking about the circle, so I couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts and memories.
Those thoughts can be summed up in just one sentence, and they are as complex as a high school student going to college.
What I miss, of course, is my master. I know he is not dead. It is inappropriate to use the word "miss", but he has really been away from me for too long.
Tossing and turning in bed unable to sleep, I finally picked up the phone and dialed Brother Chengqing's number.
"Brother Chengqing? I'm Chengyi."
"It's really good. It's about 3 o'clock in the morning. What's going on? If there is a fortune-telling business, let me know." Brother Chengqing's voice was not full of sleepiness, he was very awake. He was joking with me. .
But I know that this is where he is helpless. It is said that fortune tellers have five shortcomings and three shortcomings. They will always be contaminated by the same variety, or some, and who knows, fortune tellers often have some weird and troublesome things due to the number of times they take action. Small problems.
Take Brother Chengqing for example. His problem is that he often suffers from insomnia. Being able to sleep deeply for 4 hours a day is something he is happy about. This is why I called him alone.
"Forget about introducing other people's voices, is it worth my senior brother's help? Thank you! Let me introduce my business to you. Don't I have an important place to go? Can you help me calculate it, can it go smoothly?" I also said it as easily as possible.
"Where are you going?" Brother Chengqing stopped joking. His simple words and slightly anxious and serious tone already contained his concern.
"Ghost City, I feel a little uneasy, plus...plus...Brother Chengqing, do you know our circle?"
"Tell me more details."
I had no intention of concealing him. Of course, I told Brother Chengqing everything. No matter who gets the clue, it is everyone's clue. This is a matter of our lineage.
After I finished speaking, Brother Chengqing was silent for a while, and then said: "Let Chengxin accompany you. His temper is smoother and gentler than yours. As for the circle, I have heard a little bit about it. , but also not much contact. You are in Tianjin now, right?"
"How did you know?" I was curious, could this be counted
"Oh, caller ID." Brother Chengqing said unusually calmly and briefly.
I broke into a cold sweat and suddenly felt like an idiot. I was about to say something, but Brother Chengqing suddenly said: "Come to Beijing to see me when you have time to discuss in detail! I seem to be sleepy now. No, I'm dead."
After saying that, Brother Chengqing hung up the phone. I held the phone and smiled bitterly, but I understood very well, because his sleep is much more precious and difficult than that of normal people, and he is often so weird.
At the same time, I also knew what he meant by asking me to go to Beijing for detailed discussions. He wanted to talk to me about the circle.
