The atmosphere in the room was still quiet, and many eyes were focused on Xia Shao and Wen Ye.
From today on, you and I are master and disciple.
So, from today on, my junior brother is really my junior uncle.
Xia Shao took out a jade pendant from her body. It was an old jade from the Qing Dynasty. It was in the shape of an Arhat. It was white with mutton fat and slightly yellow on the outside. It felt warm in her palm, but it was extremely rich in gold.
This was the magic weapon used to set up the seven-star spirit-gathering array. I paid nine yuan for it. Seven pieces were laid out, one piece was used to protect Li Qingyu when he went to Hong Kong, and the last piece was left.
Xia Shao handed it to Wen Ye. When she became a disciple, the master gave her a jade gourd as a greeting gift, so naturally she wanted to give one to Wen Ye today.
"Put this jade pendant away."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, and there were some gentle gasps. When a Taoist disciple becomes a disciple, the master will give him a meeting gift, but how can magic weapons be so easy to find? Basically, the best magical weapons in the hands of the master are reserved for the most proud disciples. Therefore, some of the greeting gifts given to most disciples are jade articles, some are talismans, and some are copper coins and tortoise shells. However, the aura of gold and auspiciousness on these is very weak. At first glance, they are not ancient objects, but are just brought by their respective masters and cultivated with vitality. . Better still, some people encountered Feng Shui treasure caves when they were young, buried objects and stored them for many years before taking them out.
But because of the limited time, these are not as auspicious as the Luohan jade piece in Xia Shao's palm today.
This Arhat jade pendant looks extraordinary at first glance. It seems to have been nourished by the energy of an expert all year round, and the aura of gold and auspiciousness is so rich that it can be said to be hundreds of years old! Arhat has very strong restraint when facing evil spirits. Wen Ye is talented at catching ghosts. Wearing this on him can be said to be even more powerful.
Wen Ye reached out to take it, held it in his hand, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Master."
This master's shout was a little uneasy, but Xia Shao smiled and narrowed his eyes, melted comfortably into the chair, and said: "Get up! Why are you still kneeling? Waiting for your master and uncle. Can I give you some more goodies?"
Xia Shao said this to Wen Ye with a smile, but Tang Zongbo and Xu Tianyin both looked at Xia Shao and saw her smiling like a little fox. This look is exactly the same as when she reaches out for a red envelope during the Chinese New Year.
"Cough!" Tang Zongbo coughed.
Xu Tianyin turned his head and looked at Xia Shao silently, then at the boy who straightened up on the ground but didn't know whether he should get up or not.
Well, she wants a gift
At this time, Tang Zongbo had already smiled and glared at Xia Shao.
This girl! When I first became a disciple, I coveted his tortoise-shell copper coin compass and Liuren-style disk. Now that I have become a disciple, I don't want to take any advantage from him.
However, Tang Zongbo really prepared a meeting ceremony. After all, it was his direct disciple who accepted the disciple. As a master, how could he not prepare a gift
Tang Zongbo took out a Liuren plate and handed it to Wen Ye, "Take it, and listen to your master's instructions from now on. Feng shui, divination, physiognomy and other techniques must also be learned. Direct disciples can only succeed in one aspect. Only if you are an all-rounder. The Liuren Divine Class is the method of Xuanmen Sect. When your master was fifteen years old, he was already better than his master in divine divination and hexagrams. I hope you can also be better than his master."
The Liuren plate is not big, only as big as the palms of both hands. The disciples were shocked!
I saw that the whole body was deep purple, delicate and smooth, lying in the palm of Tang Zongbo's hand. The golden energy seemed to flow along the texture. The vitality made people feel peaceful even from a few feet away. From a distance, it seemed as if there was a big Brahma's golden light touches the face, making one's heart feel empty.
The disciples' eyes widened in surprise, and the only sound in the room was the sound of breathing.
This is...a magical weapon inherited from the sect
No way? !
Aren’t the sect’s inherited magic weapons all passed on to the direct disciples of the next generation’s patriarch
Is it too early to give it to Wen Ye
Generally, Qimen Jianghu has a sect that has been passed down, and most of the passed-down magic weapons are compasses. Therefore, most of the disciples had only seen the compass in Tang Zongbo's hand, but had never seen the others. Therefore, seeing that the Liuren Shi Pan Yuan Qi was so empty and quiet, the disciples intuitively felt that it was a inherited magic weapon!
But Xia Shao grew up with these treasures from her master, so she naturally knew that this was not the inheritance. The magic weapon inherited by Xuanmen is something that the ancestors of all generations have carried with them. It has been passed down for thousands of years, and its vitality is by no means comparable to this one.
Moreover, according to the rules of the sect, the inherited magic weapon must be left to the next head. Now Tang Zongbo has not announced the candidate for the next head. It is against the rules to pass it down from generation to generation.
The Liuren-style plate given by Uncle Tang Zongbo was not a common thing. Xia Shao smiled when he saw it and said to Wen Ye: "Go on. Your ancestor doesn't know where he got it from, and I have never seen it. Smelling the fragrance, I saw that it was made of small-leaf red sandalwood. It had not been painted and it had not cracked. I guess it was the result of generations of people playing with it. This is a rare old object, and it has a good auspiciousness. It is rare. It’s a magic weapon.”
The disciples were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that it was not an inherited magical weapon
These are not inherited magic weapons, so what do they look like
At this time, Tang Zongbo scolded Xia Shao with a smile, "Send me a gift as a disciple, and you also give me an appraisal. What? Are you afraid of fooling your apprentice with something worthless?"
Xia Shao smiled slowly, "Isn't this an occupational disease? Some days it's hard not to appraise some objects."
This rosewood Liuren-style plate is indeed an old object. The surface of ancient rosewood objects was not painted, and the surface of the object would crack after a certain period of time. This is relatively difficult to fake. Naturally, the items given by Master cannot be fake. But Xia Shao was a little curious as to where this object came from. This vitality did not belong to the master, and she had never seen it before.
Tang Zongbo looked at the magic weapon in his hand with some emotion, "This Liuren-style disk was used by me when I was young. It has not been with me for more than thirty years."
Huh
Xia Shao was stunned by these words.
"When I was young, I was practicing in the mainland and came to the capital. I once visited the then abbot Master Hui Hui in the temple. At that time, I used the Liuren Pan to tell the master's fortune and calculated that he would have a great calamity in ten years. People outside the abbot have already seen through life and death. The abbot left me to stay in the temple for a few days. Later, when I left, I had something urgent, so I left this dish behind in the temple. I returned to Hong Kong and did not come to the mainland again for a long time. , I forgot about this matter. I went to the temple a few days ago and found that Master Hui Hui had passed away long ago. Master Huiyun took out this plate and gave it back to me. Only then did I know that the temple had always kept this plate properly. Chanting sutras in the morning and evening illuminates the Dharma. After so many years, this plate is no longer comparable to a consecrated object." Tang Zongbo said with emotion. His young age was spent in turbulent times, and he met countless strange people. Later, he also suffered Disaster. Now that we are old, most of these people are no longer alive. Now holding this object that had been away for more than thirty years and returned to his hands, how could Tang Zongbo not feel emotional
"Take it, this object is for you." Tang Zongbo handed it to Wen Ye.
Wen Ye solemnly took it with both hands, "Thank you, Patriarch."
"Okay, okay." Tang Zongbo smiled and nodded.
The atmosphere in the room became quiet again.
Xia Shao and Tang Zongbo both gave meeting gifts, and Xu Tianyin was the only one left.
But when people in the room looked at Xu Tianyin, they were all stunned - Xu Tianyin was still staring at Wen Ye.
It seems that he has been keeping an eye on this kid since he became a disciple of Wen Ye. The man's eyes were like a lone wolf, and the darkness could not be seen to the end. The boy seemed to be the prey he was staring at, but he raised his head and glared at him.
The atmosphere is a little weird.
Xu Tianyin's coldness has been experienced by his disciples. When I was in Hong Kong, when I met him, his disciples would not dare to greet him. Wen Ye was quite courageous and dared to look at him. But this scene made many people's hearts tremble. The disciples didn't understand Xu Tianyin, and no one knew what would happen next moment.
However, what happened at the next moment made the disciples' hearts nearly jump out of their throats!
Xu Tianyin sat on his knees in a standard military posture. After looking at Wen Ye silently for a long time, he raised his hand and punched him!
The man's punch was so fast, it was obviously a punch, but it felt like a knife. The sharpness was like a flash of snow, and the breath was right in front of Wen Ye's eyes!
"Xiao Yezi!" Hai Ruo exclaimed and straightened up from the chair. Zhang Zhong first pushed her shoulders away from the side. With a strong force, Hairuo was forced to sit down again with a pop.
No one paid attention to what was happening here, and everyone was still looking at Xu Tianyin. Xu Tianyin's fist stopped in front of Wen Yeyintang, and the wind of the fist shook the boy's hair, which was standing straight up, and brushed back against the ground, as if a hurricane had just hit his face!
Wen Ye gritted his teeth, puffed out his cheeks, and his eyes were fierce and stubborn without blinking.
Xu Tianyin looked at him with unblinking eyes, his eyes were sharper than his, and his tone was cold, "I'm not allowed to have a bad attitude towards your master in the future."
Wen Ye pursed his lips and looked at Xu Tianyin stubbornly, with a nasal sound in his voice, "Yeah."
"Don't make her angry."
"Um."
"Don't stick to her too tightly."
"Um."
Disciples: "..." What does it mean not to stick too tightly
Xu Tianyin stared into Wen Ye's eyes, straightened up for a while, retracted his fist, turned it over, and spread his palm, "Here."
The disciples were stunned. No one expected that Xu Tianyin was actually holding something in his palm! Everyone raised their necks and looked into his palm. They were a little far away and couldn't see clearly. They only saw three copper coins.
Xia Shao's expression changed.
Not only did Xia Shao's face change, but Tang Zongbo's eyes also changed!
Xia Shao had seen the three copper coins in Xu Tianyin's palm. They were the three Kaiyuan Tongbao from the Tang Dynasty! One of them is a gold Kaiyuan that is not seen on the market!
The disciples were too far away to see that it was the Kaiyuan Tongbao, but they still exclaimed, "Gold! Gold coins?"
"What a powerful energy!"
Xia Shao frowned. To her, no matter whether these three coins were Kaiyuan Tongbao or not, and no matter how energetic they were, she was just shocked. Senior brother actually wanted to give these to Wen Ye
This was something he carried with him all year round, and he had escaped countless disasters with him. When he was in Qingshi, he had given these three Kaiyuan Tongbao to himself, and she finally returned them to him after using them. He actually gave this away today
Today Wen Ye is apprenticed to the master. The master and senior brother are supposed to give him a greeting gift, but it doesn't need to be too expensive. Xia Shao remembered hearing from Xu Tianyin that there was still some jade material left in the set of twelve zodiac animals. He thought he would carve something for Wen Ye, but he did not expect that he would give these three divination pieces. Good and bad copper coins.
Wen Ye stared at Xu Tianyin's palm and seemed to realize that these three copper coins were valuable.
"Take it." Xu Tianyin stretched out his hand directly and placed the three Kaiyuan Tongbao on the Liuren plate still held in Wen Ye's hand.
"Thank you, Master." Wen Ye thanked him, stood up, and served tea to Tang Zongbo, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin. The apprenticeship ceremony was now over.
The disciples gathered around to correct their confession. Zhou Qi led a group of disciples to tease Wen Ye, asking him for a correction fee and a meeting gift. Hai Ruo looked behind, his eyes pleased.
Xia Shao took advantage of the chaos in the room and called Xu Tianyin out. It is now early December, it has just snowed in the capital, and it is cold outside. When Xu Tianyin came out, he held a coat in his hand and wrapped it around Xia Shao's shoulders. Xia Shao raised her head and frowned. Before she could speak, Xu Tianyin spoke.
"It's okay, you won't need it in the military area."
Xia Shao's brows didn't loosen at all, "You still go abroad to perform missions from time to time. How can you put it to use?"
Xia Shao had a rare expression of disapproval. She frowned and looked at the man in front of her. The man looked at her silently, his eyes dark and looking a little dull. But he reacted quickly, hugged her, and patted her, "It's okay. I don't go abroad much now. I have the general you gave me. And my cultivation level has also improved. I don't have to use magic weapons anymore. Ordinary copper coins can be used at a glance." use."
It was rare for him to explain in so many words, but Xia Shao sighed after hearing this.
That being said, Xu Tianyin's current level of cultivation is the same as hers. They are both in the realm of refining gods and returning to reality. Although they can't just throw a stone on the roadside or pull up a grass stalk to ask questions about good or bad luck, there is really no need to stick to it. Excellent magic weapon. But after carrying something with me for so many years, I always feel more comfortable using it. Moreover, Xia Shao was probably worried. She always hoped that her senior brother would have more magic weapons around him, and more.
It’s better to have more than less, just in case you need it in case of danger.
Of course, what Xia Shao hopes most is that he will not be sent on missions abroad again. With his current military rank and position, others would have been able to stay in the military area with peace of mind. How could he have gone to the danger himself? But I'm afraid that because he has been out there for so many years and has such outstanding military exploits, some difficult tasks will still come to him. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and when the time comes, he cannot refuse.
"He is your first disciple, he deserves it." Xu Tianyin hugged Xia Shao and his voice fell on her head.
Xia Shao's body trembled. Although she had appointed Ah Tan as her first disciple, Ah Tan was no longer alive. Wen Ye should indeed be regarded as her first official disciple. Is it because of this that he did not hesitate to give away the magic weapon that he had kept with him for many years
"Try not to go abroad in the future." As if feeling a little moved and sad in Xia Shao's aura, the man hugged her tighter, resting his head on her shoulder, his voice was low, it sounded cute, but it seemed I was thinking of ways to comfort and make up for it, "Well, how about we go to the antique market and pick three pieces back?"
When Xia Shao was angry, she neither laughed nor punched the man in the chest, "How can there be so many magic weapons that are so easy to find!"
Magical weapons are hard to find, but ancient coins are not hard to find for Xia Shao. She must be looking for these three copper coins. She would go find it without him mentioning it.
Xia Shao pushed Xu Tianyin away and immediately called Zhu Yanlan, the manager of Fulixiang in the capital, and asked her to use her connections to ask if there was any Kaiyuan Tongbao or Daqi Tongbao on the market.
These two types of ancient coins are very rare in the world, but in the antique business, there are always some ways, which are not as difficult as collectors to find. With Zhu Yanlan’s family connections, it shouldn’t be difficult to find these two things.
Zhu Yanlan was stunned when she received Xia Shao's call, but she didn't sound embarrassed and quickly accepted the call.
…
This day was Wen Ye's apprenticeship, and it was also an important day for Xuanmen, so Xia Shao invited everyone to the hotel for a banquet at noon. The Old Feng Shui Hall in Hong Kong couldn't be away from people for too long, so everyone rushed back to Hong Kong early the next morning. Among those who left, Qiu Qiqiang, Zhang Zhongxian's eldest disciple, led the team. Except for Wen Ye, Tang Zongbo and Zhang Zhongxian, everyone else returned to Hong Kong together, taking with them the ashes of the A-tan and the blood baby.
Since Wen Ye accepted Xia Shao as his teacher, he would stay in the capital with Xia Shao. The club just needs personal help. Although the club in the capital has just opened, Xia Shao's feng shui clients are not limited to those in the capital. People from Qing Province and China who have heard of her reputation often fly over to ask her for fortune telling because she is in the capital.
Xia Shao now goes to college and has more time, but she still has to focus on the company, and most of the time she comes back to the club at night. If Wen Ye were in the club, he could indeed help her a lot. And for him, it was also an opportunity for experience.
Wen Ye has been living with Hai Ruo for several years since he became his teacher. Now that they have to separate, he is naturally reluctant to part with her. Outside the airport, Xuanmen disciples stood in a group. Hai Ruo's eyes were red, but he smiled and hugged Wen Ye, patting his head, "In the future, you must listen to your master, practice more with her, and collect your skills." If you have a bad temper, don't always make your child lose your temper, understand?"
It snowed again last night, and the air outside the airport was so cold that the tips of people's noses turned red. Hai Ruo took out a newly knitted scarf, knelt down and wrapped it around the boy, looking at him lovingly, "You are thirteen years old, and you are not considered a child anymore. From now on, you need to know how to take care of yourself, and put on more clothes when it's cold. Don’t run around shirtless when it’s hot, lest you catch a cold. Got it?”
Wen Ye usually likes to pretend to be an adult and hates others touching his head, but today he nodded obediently, "I understand."
Seeing the boy's gloomy expression, Hai Ruo smiled and said, "Okay, we're not far apart. The capital is not far from Hong Kong. I can come anytime if I miss you. Just call me often if you have nothing to do."
Xia Shao laughed and joked at the side, "When I want to leave home, I can't bear to leave my mother."
Wen Ye's face turned red, and he looked up at Xia Shao. He wanted to deny it, but couldn't. Seeing Xia Shao laughing at the side, Hai Ruo smiled with relief.
This child has had a good relationship with Xia Shao since he met her. If he comes to follow him, he will not be lonely.
That's good.
That's good…
Hai Ruo lowered his eyes and smiled, but Wu Shu and Wu Ke stepped forward and hugged Wen Ye and cried for a while before reluctantly waving goodbye.
Tang Zongbo and Zhang Zhong didn't stay here for a few more days, but Mr. Xu learned that Tang Zongbo had come to Beijing and wanted to meet him.
This day is the weekend, so the meeting is scheduled for this day.
After the Taoist disciples got on the flight to Hong Kong, Xu Tianyin drove and took Tang Zongbo, Zhang Zhongxian and Wen Ye directly from the airport to his villa in the capital.
…
It snowed newly last night. As the car drove all the way into the community, there were piles of snowmen swept by the property management on the side of the road. They were dressed and wearing hats, looking happy.
Xia Shao's eyes lit up as she looked at the snowmen. Xu Tianyin drove the car and glanced at her in the rearview mirror.
When the car drove into the villa yard, a red flag car was already parked there.
Mr. Xu has actually arrived.
Two guards were guarding the door. When they saw Xu Tianyin getting out of the car, they gave a military salute. The person walking towards them was Uncle Zhang who often drove to pick up Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin from the Xu family.
Uncle Zhang said: "The old man has just arrived and is waiting inside."
Xu Tianyin nodded, took out a blanket from the car, went to the back seat to cover the old man's legs, then moved the wheelchair out of the car, and went to the back to push it himself. Xia Shao led Zhang Zhongxian and Wen Ye in from behind. house.
It was also the first time that Tang Zongbo came to Xu Tianyin's residence in the capital. As soon as he entered the door, the old man was stunned.
In the room, there are many photos of the two young people hanging on the wall, and warm and weird trinkets can be seen everywhere on the table. At first glance, it is not Xu Tianyin's temperament to display them, and they must have been arranged by Xia Shao.
There was no one in the living room, Xu Tianyin pushed the old man in, and finally saw Mr. Xu outside the restaurant.
The old man stood with his hands behind his back. In front of him was the wall in front of the dining table. There were various photos on the wall, including men wearing aprons, some eating, and some sitting on the sofa reading newspapers. In one of them, a man is wearing an apron and cooking. When he looks back, his eyes are soft and there is a slight smile on his lips.
The old man's eyes were looking at these photos. People were walking behind him, but he didn't even notice.
Xia Shao looked at Xu Kangguo's back and smiled. The old man proposed to meet here. He probably wanted to see where his grandson lived. Otherwise, it would be fine to meet at Xu's house or in a hotel.
"Grandpa." Xu Tianyin said from behind the old man, not too loudly, presumably because he was afraid of shocking the old man.
Xu Kangguo was not shocked when he heard his grandson's voice. He was just stunned and turned around. Behind him, Xu Tianyin pushed Tang Zongbo's wheelchair and stood at the front, followed by Xia Shao, Zhang Zhongxian and a boy Xu Kangguo didn't know.
Xu Kangguo's eyes first fell on Tang Zongbo's legs covered with thick blankets, and his eyes were shocked.
On the contrary, Tang Zongbo smiled naturally, looked nostalgic, and said with emotion, "Old friend, I haven't seen you for more than twenty years, and you are getting old too."
The sound of more than twenty years shocked Mr. Xu, and his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life. He looked at Tang Zongbo's gray hair and sighed: "Yes, it has been more than twenty years. Time flies so fast, we are all old men now." ."
Xu Tianyin had already mentioned Tang Zongbo's legs to Xu Kangguo. During the more than ten years since he was forced to leave the mainland by his fellow disciples, Xu Tianyin had been searching for his master's whereabouts, and Mr. Xu also knew it. I thought that this old friend who had given orders to his son and was more like his grandfather than him, who had taken care of Tianyin for ten years, would just disappear. I never thought that Jiren had his own destiny, and he could actually return to Hong Kong, and the apprentice he accepted She could actually become her granddaughter-in-law.
Somehow, everything seems to be destined.
"Since we haven't seen each other for so long, you must have a lot to talk about. Let's go to the living room to talk. Senior brother and I won't disturb you. It's almost noon. Let's go out to buy some vegetables and come back and be responsible for cooking." Seeing the expressions of emotion on the faces of the two old men, it seemed that they had not seen each other for more than twenty years, and they had thousands of things to say in their hearts, but they didn't know where to start, so they simply invited them to the living room and served them hot tea.
There were security guards in the house, so Xia Shao had nothing to worry about. Whatever the elderly need, the guards will naturally help them.
Zhang Zhongxian also stayed in the living room to accompany him, and Xia Shao, Xu Tianyin and Wen Ye went out together.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
I was so irritated by the bites that I counted the red envelopes on my body. In addition to the ones that had faded away, there were actually sixteen spots that were still red, swollen and itchy! Damn, they are all mosquitoes, and one bite will cause swelling!
Let me post these first. The supermarket is not closed yet. I went out to look at some hairy mosquito repellents and came back to continue typing.
Tomorrow is the last day at the end of the month, let’s fight! Three updates!
First watch at eight o'clock in the morning. Pay attention to the announcement for the second update, it’s time for the third update!
