Before Zhang Lan went out, he asked the bodyguard Xiao Hei to do the math for her.
Xiao Hei finished the calculation seriously and said, "Huan Gua: Heng, Wang Fake has a temple, benefited from Dachuan, and benefited from Zhen."
Facing a window, Zhang Lan traced the blood-like lipstick on his mouth: "I don't practice hexagrams, don't talk to me and talk about people."
Xiao Hei explained: "It means that having the king visit the ancestral temple in person will help you overcome difficulties and stick to your original aspiration."
Zhang Lan: "...I'm going to meet someone, what a king is not a king, and it's so grand. You just tell me the bad luck."
Xiao Hei: "Ji."
Zhang Lan muttered, "Why don't I believe it so much."
The window was opened from the inside, Zhang Yalin looked at her sister's bloody mouth, and hesitated whether to pour or not to pour the tea in her hand, "You obviously have a mirror in your room, why do you always like to paint your mouth at my window."
"It's called lip-painting. You won't even say anything nice. Shunen will be given to the dog." Zhang Lan turned around and grinned at Xiao Hei, "Is it good-looking?"
Xiao Hei respectfully praised: "Blessed with a big mouth, you can benefit from all directions."
Zhang Lan: "…"
Zhang Yalin choked on a sip of tea, her face flushed red. He probably felt that it was insulting to Sven, or he could not hold back his laughter and was about to leave while covering his face. Zhang Lan grabbed him.
"You go back and check with Xiao Hei, why do I think his fortune-telling has become more and more crooked in the past two days." Zhang Lan said.
"You don't understand hexagrams yourself, don't rely on my puppet." Zhang Yalin said, "I borrowed Bu Ning's spirit to make him, how can it go wrong."
Bu Ning is not one of his relatives who specializes in hexagrams, so he is naturally suitable for this, and he is also an indescribable ancestor. Zhang Lan thought for a while and said, "Either you have bought fakes again, or there is something wrong with your level of puppet making."
Zhang Yalin felt that his sister was talking crazy, because of the upbringing of a gentleman, he endured: "You also said that you will go out to meet someone. As for the fortune-telling and the puppet? It's not a powerful person."
The person Zhang Lan was looking for was none other than the Shen family's apprentice who couldn't even get a name tree.
She intends to let the other party join the rotating team, so as to facilitate attention, and secondly, to have more opportunities to try the other party.
After all, the affairs of judges in this world are mainly presided over by the Zhang family. She has to be kind.
"The main thing is that my eyelids are always twitching today, and I'm not sure." Zhang Lan said, "Besides, the people who are on duty in various places are all people who have already been on the famous tree. It's a bit awkward for me to invite him with this. He wants to Knowing this, you can completely ignore me."
"The old people of the Shen family are gone, so these two little ones are left." Zhang Yalin said, "They don't usually communicate with other families, so how can they know this. As long as there is no one who understands beside them—"
You don't just fudge as you want, Zhang Yalin's face is clearly written.
"Besides, how could it be possible to ignore you, such a thing as a rotating duty, who is not a normal person rushing to it?"
Zhang Lan said it too.
With her bluffing posture, it doesn't take too long to get an inexperienced rookie.
"Are you going with me?" Zhang Lan invited.
Zhang Yalin drank tea with a look of disinterest: "No."
Zhang Lan said angrily: "It's gone all day, no. You can't change your name to Zhang. Don't you worship the ancestor of puppet art? You haven't seen his descendants?"
Zhang Yalin was unmoved, lit incense and went to worship the box, leaving a sentence: "There are many descendants of him, and the generation is not as good as the next generation. If you have the ability to let me see him in person, I will go on my knees."
"… "
Zhang Lan rolled his eyes, turned to Xiao Hei and said, "Let's go, let's kidnap the handsome guy."
Before going, she asked Zhang Biling.
I heard that the Shen family's big villa was guarded by the two brothers.
Young people like this easily overlooked, what they need most is to be recognized. Who doesn't want to be on the famous family tree as soon as possible to earn some face for their ancestors
So the meeting in Zhang Lan's imagination is like this-
As the face of the Zhang family, she took the initiative to go to the Shen family, which in itself represented a kind of attention and recognition. The two brothers will definitely be touched and welcome her into the door.
Not to mention respectful, at least I am happy and welcome in my heart.
Then it all went smoothly.
She threw out the olive branch, and the other party took it in a hurry, and it was done.
As a result, she stood at the door of Shen's villa early in the morning, put on a smile like a fox spirit, raised her hand and knocked on the door, and just called out "Good morning, handsome", she came face-to-face with Xie Wen, the sick young man.
…
The fox spirit burst into laughter on the spot.
"It's a coincidence, why are you here?" The fox spirit felt that he had seen a ghost, but he still had to hold that temperament on his face.
As we all know, Xie Wen did not have deep relationships with anyone. Only others have gone to Xiping Garden to look for him, and nine times out of ten, no one has been seen. There is no reason for him to go to someone else.
Let him take the initiative to come to the door, it is raining red.
Zhang Lan didn't want to get this red rain today.
Because Xie Wen is a half-hearted person who rarely gets into the cage and can't get out of the cage, but he knows the current rules very well, at least he understands the "rotation" she is going to talk about today.
With this ancestor here, Zhang Lan is still fooling around.
When she felt that she picked the wrong one, even if it was a few hours later, it would be better to wait for Xie Wen to come back than to enter the door now.
You do a good job!
Zhang Lan turned his head and glared at Xiao Hei, intending to find an excuse to leave.
Who would have guessed that Xiao Hei, this melon skin, would be wrong, thinking that she was lazy again and asked him to do it for him. So he asked Xie in a straight-forward manner: "Is it convenient to speak at the door?"
Zhang Lan: "…"
I'm not really comfortable.
Xie Wen didn't see the stiffness in her smile, and maybe she saw it on purpose and pretended not to. He glanced at the two of them and said sideways, "Come in."
Zhang Lan said in her heart that she would really call the shots, just like your family.
Xiao Hei, the traitor, closed the door behind him. Zhang Lan looked at the room while thinking silently in his heart. Come here, just chat for a while.
When Xie Wen, the plague god visitor, is sent away, it will not be too late for her to focus on the theme. Anyway, she has no major business today.
"This is my first time here." Zhang Lan said.
"It's the second time for me." Xie Wen answered casually and walked into the room.
It seems that I am half a catty, and no one is more familiar than anyone else.
Zhang Lan was relieved.
She subconsciously followed behind Xie Wen, but what she thought was that the two brothers of the Shen family were strange, leaving Xie Wen a guest to wander around the house, but she disappeared.
Did you go to the bathroom
Still upstairs
Generally speaking, the process of things will not be interrupted like this. Judging from this situation, the chat has been finished? Isn't that going to leave soon
Zhang Lan felt more at ease, and said with a smile, "You came to see the brothers for something? It's really early enough."
"I'm fine." Xie Wen stood at the door of a room on the first floor, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and said to the people in the room, "People have already entered, are you still going to stay?"
After calling people, he turned around and said to Zhang Lan, "I'm not looking for them, I live here."
Zhang Lan: "?"
What are you doing? ?
The next second, the closed door of the room was pulled open. Shen Qiao's handsome apprentice appeared behind the door.
His drowsy energy has not dissipated, his thin eyelids are half drooping, and when he looks at people, there is a natural indifference and inhumanity.
He frowned and said, "Who is looking for someone early in the morning?"
Xie Wen turned sideways, revealing Zhang Lan who was half blocked.
Although the other party was out of education, he pursed his lips and swallowed all the words. But Zhang Lan still saw the traces of that sentence on his face: why is it you again
Zhang Lan said in his heart what was the purpose of my visit...
When I smelled it, I really didn't know what this lady was thinking.
He turned off the air conditioner in the room and threw the remote back on the bed. He threw out the sentence "Wait a minute" in a low mood, turned around and went to the bathroom, grabbed the toothbrush and water glass, and picked up the water in a muffled voice.
Getting up and taking a shower is actually a very personal matter. Aunt Zhang is quite interesting, so she turned her head and left, and took the bodyguard Xiao Hei to the living room sofa to sit down and wait for someone.
He hunched his shoulders when smelling, and supported the edge of the washstand with one hand. Seeing that the water in the water glass was slowly filling up, Yu Guang fell outside the door - Xie Wen was still standing there, not knowing why he didn't follow him away.
He could feel the other person looking at him, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Because half a minute ago, he closed the door in front of Xie Wen, and his first reaction was to change out his wrinkled T-shirt and trousers.
At that time, the dazzling light came in from the window. He half-squinted his eyes, walked away from the wardrobe with bare feet, and subconsciously brushed his hair back.
When he was empty with his right hand, he touched the short end of his hair at the back of his head. It was only then that he suddenly realized that in the last moment, his raking and combing action was not to think that the hair on his forehead was in the way, but to tie his hair.
It was as if time had flown back to an unknown year, and every time he woke up, he had to be patient to get up and pack up before going to see someone else, so as not to be teased again.
This should be the sense of confusion brought about by that blurred dream, which made Wen Shi dazed for several seconds, frowning and standing in the bright sunlight, until the door was knocked again, and then he suddenly regained his senses. Open the door.
And the hair he grabbed was scattered in front of his eyebrows, but it was more messy than before.
When smelling, he put the water glass on the marble countertop, and when he reached out to grab the toothpaste, he raised his eyes and glanced at the mirror, just across the mirror to meet Xie Wen's gaze.
But in the next second, Xie Wen had withdrawn his gaze and turned to the living room.
It seemed that his gaze just now was just that he suddenly lost his mind and thought about something irrelevant.
When he smelled, he came out of the shower, and Lao Mao and Xiao Zhao were already downstairs.
Xia Qiao carried the chicken coop head blushing in the kitchen to rummage through boxes and cabinets, but he was very skilled. He took the tea can that Xia Qiao turned over, and poured Zhang Lan a cup of tea just like greeting customers in the store...
Then they sat next to Zhang Lan, obediently sitting in a row on the sofa, and vacated the other party's place for Wen Shi.
Aunt Zhang's face is blue.
When I smelled it, there was still some residual wake up gas, which was not very pleasant. But when he saw the crowded scene, he touched his Adam's apple and suddenly wanted to laugh.
The smile disappeared in a blink of an eye. When he sat down on the single sofa, he looked indifferent again, but his Adam's apple was a little red from his pinching.
"You have something to do with me?" he asked Zhang Lan.
"It's something." Zhang Lan smiled twice with heavy makeup on, and then asked Xie about what it was like, "By the way, sick seedling, is your Xiping Garden opening?"
The meaning of this is obvious.
But Xie Wen said calmly, "No hurry, I'll sit down for a while."
Zhang Lan: "…"
This person has to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and Zhang Lan can't stare at them here. He simply broke the jar and got straight to the point: "That's right. That day, Sister Ling... Oh, it's Zhang Biling and her son who all complimented me on your performance in the cage after being released from the cage, which is quite surprising."
"Sister Ling and I are related. First, I want to thank you. Second, I also want to invite you."
When smelling: "Invite what?"
"Rotation. It's a daily routine that we have to do in this industry. It means that different people are responsible for different areas every day. In this way, if there is a cage, we can know it as soon as possible and remove it as soon as possible, so as to prevent more innocent people from being implicated. I When I met you that night, I was on duty."
This is indeed a new word when I smell it, but the essence is actually new wine in old bottles.
In the earliest days, the judges used their own wishes and abilities to find the cage, enter the cage and release the cage. If you meet, you will cooperate, if you can't, you will come by yourself.
Later, some people began to put the cart before the horse, and the focus was no longer on getting out of the cage, but practiced by getting out of the cage. Gradually, there is a sense of occupying territory and fighting for it.
But it's all vague, and it's only a part of people, and it won't be on the bright side.
Later, individual families became more and more powerful, and the secret scramble behavior changed from a certain person to a certain family. Once the group is involved, "scramble" turns into "coordination".
The so-called coordination certainly seems to be beneficial - for example, each piece of land will not overlap, and there will be no omissions.
But the situation is different from place to place. So after a long time, those who still want to fight are no longer staring at a certain place, but the power of coordination.
Which one is the most powerful is the one who has the final say.
Rotation is obviously a concept that the Zhang family came up with.
When I heard about this kind of thing, I watched several reincarnations, and even changing a new word couldn't fool him.
This is also the reason why his lineage rarely has contact with other families.
Wen Shi's eyes swept across the long scroll of the famous tree, and finally landed on the portrait of the patriarch who was next to him.
The light in the yard passes through the panes, and just hits the picture, reflecting the light. The appearance of the person in the painting became blurred, and when I smelled it, I suddenly remembered the snow-white and dark-red robes in my dream...
If the person in the dream was still there, hearing these things now, I wonder if it would be ridiculous.
Zhang Lan is still explaining: "Of course, the rotation is not limited to the Zhang family, all families are involved. All the living judges have one and one in it, and no one can miss it, so I'm here to find you."
She felt that what she said was okay, and she would not be too enthusiastic, because too enthusiastic would be false. At the same time, it can convey a meaning like these two brothers: the genealogy map may not recognize the two of you, but we do.
Whoever listens to this is a little touched, right? Zhang Lan thought to himself.
She saw that the boy named Xia Qiao was a little moved, and his expression changed. She was very satisfied, and turned to look at the handsome guy named... The handsome guy who didn't know what his name was, and found that the other party was not looking at her at all, but was looking at the wall.
Zhang Lan: "?"
Can the wall look better than her? ?
"So what do you brothers think, do you want to join in?" She coughed and cast her eyes on the moving Xia Qiao. As a result, Xia Qiao blinked and silently turned to look at his brother.
Then his brother retracted his gaze and jumped two words: "No."
Well, I'm blind to the mouth painted by the old lady.
Aunt Zhang said in her heart.
She wanted to add two more words.
As a result, the handsome guy spoke again: "You have a lot of family, so take your turn. Is there anything else?"
Zhang Lan: "…"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard someone laughing next to me, and it was low and indistinct in my throat.
He turned his head and saw Xie Wen stand up from the sofa, with a smile in his eyes, and said to him: "Okay, I won't listen anymore, I'm sleepy. It's getting late, I'll go to Xiping. Garden, something happened."
Zhang Lan thought to herself, why the hell did you go early? !
When Xie Wen raised his eyes, he closed his smile, swept over the famous genealogy map with a light expression, and walked towards the door. Lao Mao and Xiao Zhao also stood up, greeted him, and followed him.
"What are you doing with me?" Xie asked.
Lao Mao: "?"
Xiaozhao was also stunned, and said in unison, "Go to the store."
Xie Wen looked at them quietly.
After a few seconds, Xiaozhao suddenly dragged his tone "Oh-", silently retreated, sat down beside Zhang Lan again, and smiled at her.
Zhang Lan couldn't stay any longer.
In the final analysis, it is two newcomers and juniors, no matter how unpredictable their level is, she can't be so rushing, just mention it. Do not participate in the pull-down.
She stood up, said hello to Wen Shi and Xia Qiao, and was about to leave. When she reached into her bag to get the car keys, she squeezed a talisman.
"Hey!" Zhang Lan held the talisman paper and turned around to ask when she heard: "I've lost my mind, I've been talking for a long time, and I've been forgetting to ask, what's your surname and what's your name?"
When he smelled it, he casually said the first word that came to his mind: "Dust."
After saying that, he felt wrong.
Almost all judges are allergic to the syllable "dust".
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room stopped and stared at him. Even Xie Wen, who stepped out the door, was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look over.
Zhang Lan: "Which chen?"
When smelling: "… "
Hearing: "Er Dong Chen."
"Oh, good surname." Zhang Lan said. "What about the name?"
Smell the time: "The time of the hour."
He was too lazy to change it.
Zhang Lan: "Chen Shi."
She read it again and rolled the talisman paper into her fingers: "I see, I'll have a chance to talk next time."
As soon as Zhang Lan returned to the car, he received greetings from his younger brother Zhang Yalin: "How is it?"
Zhang Lan: "Fuck the auspicious hexagram."
Zhang Yalin: "Don't swear, it's insulting to Sven."
"When did I get involved with Sven?" Zhang Lan said, "I really wonder if the old man Shen Qiao didn't teach them anything. It's such a good thing to be on duty, and he didn't reply to me!"
She learned from Wen Shi's indifferent tone, and put the talisman out of her hand after learning.
Zhang Yalin knew her well: "I heard the sound of talisman paper."
Zhang Lan said: "I asked his name, and when I just left, I pinched a hair from his clothes. It's easy to keep an eye on it. Go back and let the juniors who are on duty every day pay attention. If he enters the cage, he will Follow up to see what's going on. Not much effort."
The talisman she released can be used to track related traces. Usually, people use it to find lost things. It is not a problem to float outside for several days.
After Zhang Lan left, he drove out in his car and was busy with other things, so he didn't ask any more questions.
An hour later, the talisman rushed straight into the Zhang family's house, and stuck it flat on Zhang Yalin's window glass.
Zhang Yalin took it off with question marks all over his face.
***
In the Shen family villa, Wen Shi stood in front of the refrigerator in the kitchen, and looked at each other with question marks.
"Why don't you follow Xie and follow me?" He opened a can of ice Coke and asked in confusion.
"The boss doesn't need us today." Da Zhao said.
"We were abandoned," Xiao Zhao continued.
"He has something to do, so he only brought old Mao." Da Zhao said aggrieved.
"And we can only follow you." Xiao Zhao also acted, and his eyes turned red when he said red.
"Senior seniority is great." Da Zhao also followed with red eyes.
"We are too young." Xiao Zhao's tears had already fallen.
When smelling: "… "
He felt that Xie Wen was also messing with him by leaving these two girls.
What a mess to do.
He groaned in his heart when he smelled it.
Xie Wen, who had just arrived at Xiping Garden, leaned against the back door and coughed a few times, then raised two fingers to make a move.
The next second, a man in a black hoodie came from a distance. He was like a ghost. One second, he was 100 meters away. In the blink of an eye, he was close, and the next second, he was standing Xie Xie. Ask before.
With a shy stomach, Lao Mao snorted: "Isn't this Xiao Zhao's wrongly bought men's clothes?"
Xie asked: "She doesn't want it anyway. I'll borrow it for use."
The first time he went to Shen's house, he was wearing this coat. At that time, he had just found Wen Shi's whereabouts through Hui Gu's ability to smell spirits. I wanted to take a look and then left, leaving a puppet in clothes there, looking after him not far or near.
Unexpectedly, the person was found, but the spiritual aspect was lost.
The clothes puppet, who was originally responsible for taking care of him, had to change his role. When Xie Wen coaxed Wen, he said that the clothes were thrown in the mountains, but he actually let them out on purpose.
This puppet opened his eyes and began to patrol around, quietly helping Wen Shi to find traces of spiritual signs, and finally got some news today.
"Where?" Xie asked.
"Sanmidian," said the man in a black hooded jacket.
