The Tale Never Ends

Chapter 32: Officially opened

Views:

It was already after ten o'clock when I got home, and I returned home feeling dizzy from drinking. When I opened the door, I saw my father half-lying on the sofa, while my mother was lying on his shoulders. The old couple were having fun watching anime. Sometimes I really can’t tell what age group my parents are. To the outside world, my parents look like adults, but why are they always so dishonest at home

Because of the hot weather, I put my vest on the back of the sofa and said, "It opens tomorrow. Remember to tell Uncle Li and they don't forget to perform the opening show." Dad gave a strange cry and agreed. This old Uncle Li is also an old man in the Chinese Studies Museum, and he plays calligraphy and painting. I don't understand these things at all, and they have nothing to do with my story, so I won't waste much time here. I opened the bathroom door and took a comfortable shower. The weather was getting hotter day by day, and I couldn't wait to soak in the water without wanting to come out.

After taking a shower, the effects of the alcohol had subsided a lot. When I returned to the living room, I saw my father sitting on the sofa playing with a long sword. This sword is not ordinary at first glance. The blade of the sword shines with a cold light under the illumination of the incandescent lamp, not to mention cutting iron like clay. When my father saw me coming out, he asked me to sit down. My mother moved to the side and let me sit down, with me sandwiched between them. Dad put his arms around my shoulders and said, "Tomorrow you will officially open your business. In ancient times, you were officially entering the world. Dad, I will pass on something to you." He raised the sword in his hand and handed it to me. Give it to me, "Although this sword is not a unique sword, it is not an ordinary sword. If I pass it on to you, it will be a successor to our sect!" I was a little disappointed when I heard this: "Huh? This sword is not that good. Sword, I dare you to send me a third-rate thing!" Dad said impatiently: "You are worthy of using this thing for your current profession. Besides, our sect's magic does not focus on good swords. It’s about cultivation. When you have cultivated to a certain level, even a tree branch can become a magical weapon!” In my heart, my father was using strong words, so I asked what kind of sect our family was, but I didn’t expect that my father actually He said: "Do you care about you? Just take it if it's given to you. You can learn it if you want it. There's so much nonsense!" My dad tried to prevaricate me, but after many years of wandering around and thinking about that time, I had a glimmer of understanding. I couldn’t see it when I was young, but every time this topic was mentioned, there would be a glimmer in my dad’s eyes. lonely.

Then my dad asked me if I had decided on the name of the Yin Yang Pavilion. I patted my chest and said, "I got up early. It's called 'Dechang Metaphysics Pavilion'!" Dad was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: " It’s so meaningless, it needs to be changed!” I immediately retorted: “Our level deserves this name!” My father was speechless at my words, and my mother giggled on the side. When we are a family of three together, it is really like three people of the same age laughing together. "I thought about it and asked Uncle Li to make a plaque for me. In addition to the name of the museum, it also has the seal seal of 'Classics of Chinese Studies', and next to it I write the business scope of 'Yin Yang Bagua, weddings and funerals, property purchase and relocation, exorcism and evil spirits. Please give me some advice on difficult and complicated diseases!" Dad nodded and finally said nothing more.

I thought my father would just give me such a sword and that would be it, but who knew that my father would turn his palm over and a booklet would appear in his hand. There was no title on the cover, it was completely blank. . When I turned it over, I saw that every page was a picture of a sword move, with annotations below. My dad told me that all the moves in this book are a set of sword skills. When can I use this set of sword skills? Once you have mastered it, you will have achieved some success in this art. While flipping through this martial arts secret book, I asked: "Dad, is this the secret book passed down by the ancestor of our sect?" Dad picked at his toes and said, "Oh, no. I drew it last night." I almost cried out of anger, "Dad, you can't learn from those people who play with wheels, right! Just draw anything and it will be a mess. They still play with wheels after all, so you can just play with your son!" "Unexpectedly, my father said, "You can't give it back to me if you want it." As he said that he was going to grab it, I quickly stuffed the book into my crotch: "Why do you still want to go back!?"

After a night of trouble, I was woken up by a phone call the next day. When I opened my eyes, I saw it was Lin Feng calling. When I picked up the phone, Lin Feng asked straight away on the other end of the phone: "Damn it, boss, what time is it!" "That's when I realized it. I looked at the clock and it was 7:40, and I decided to hold the opening ceremony at 8 o'clock! I hurriedly said to the phone: "I'll be right here!" I hung up the phone and rushed out of the bedroom. After washing, I rushed out of the house shirtless and carrying my clothes. When I arrived at the scene, the firecrackers had already started going off. I thought I was lucky to have caught up! When Lin Feng saw me rushing over, he took out his microphone and threw it towards me like a hidden weapon. I reached out to catch the microphone and jumped out of the crowd. I raised the microphone and said to the crowd: "Welcome to our opening ceremony..."

Actually, this opening ceremony is quite devoid of anything new. It's just a show, followed by a ribbon cutting and fireworks. I played the role of the soundtrack, sitting on the stage and constantly playing various ancient songs on the guzheng. In front of the stage was Uncle Li, who was splashing brush and ink on the spot, and then there was a martial arts performance by Lin Feng. Of course, the little dancing female teachers in the Chinese Studies Hall would also be indispensable for dancing a few dances, making it really antique. Halfway through the performance, a little girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old suddenly came up on the stage. She was wearing a martial arts training uniform. As soon as she came on stage, she clasped her fists towards the audience. Although I didn't understand what was going on, I couldn't stop playing "Chinese Kung Fu". The child didn't even have stage fright, and started dancing along with my music. At this time, I could even hear Lin Feng sighing from behind: "Oh! This kid has the foundation!"

The child's martial arts performance won countless applause and cheers. Obviously everyone regarded this child as a member of my Onmyokan. To think that such a young child can show up in such a business, he must have the ability to stand out from the crowd! But actually I don’t even know this kid! It wasn't until after the performance that I discovered that the child had come with his grandma. I don’t know the child, but I know this child’s grandmother. It was none other than the martial arts second aunt in the Uncle Quan incident, who was also Uncle Quan’s junior sister! I hurried forward and said, "Hey, Second Aunt, you are here. Welcome." Lin Feng was not present at the last Uncle Quan incident. Although he knew that there was such a master uncle, he had never met him. I quickly introduced Lin Feng and told him that she was his father's junior sister who was also his junior uncle. Lin Feng hurriedly saluted this uncle. The aunt helped Lin Feng and said with a kind smile: "Xiao Feng, right? Ouch, his appearance and skills are exactly the same as your father when he was young!"

It turns out that this second aunt knew that Lin Feng and others opened the Yin Yang Pavilion and came here specially today. I just heard the second aunt say: "Xiao Feng, I have a heartfelt invitation." Lin Feng valued etiquette very much, so he quickly bowed and said, "Look, what do you say?" I saw the second aunt smiled and nodded. He nodded and called the little girl who had just performed on the stage and said, "This is my granddaughter and the youngest apprentice in our sect. At the beginning, your master and his wife had their own abilities, but after so many years, your father's abilities have always been the same. Higher than me. I also saw your ability just now. In terms of seniority, you are also this child's uncle, so I want to give this child to you and learn the Kungfu of the North Kick from you." Lin Feng couldn't think of anything. He agreed immediately without thinking. Yes, he had no choice but to agree. It is true that Lin Feng is this child's uncle, but the second aunt is also Lin Feng's uncle. How can he not obey? In this way, Lin Feng accepted a young apprentice in a daze.

At the end of the performance, there was a ribbon-cutting. Of course, my dad did the ribbon-cutting, and then the two uncles, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang, placed the fireworks. When these two uncles heard that our brothers' Onmyokan opened, they drove there at dawn in the morning and grabbed the fireworks long ago, just to wait for the moment when the fireworks were released. After the two wealthy uncles put off the fireworks, the three of us hurried up to shake hands and exchange greetings with each other. These two are our local rich people. After a while of greetings, they both handed out three big red envelopes, one for each of us! It was said to be a lucky draw, but I took the red envelope and squeezed it. The two red envelopes were thicker than the other with both hands! The three of us had just opened and received a big red envelope from each of us, which was a big thank you to the three of us.

During this period, Yuanyuan and Lin Feng, who they met last night, also came to the museum and gave them gifts such as flower baskets. Yuanyuan and Lin Feng had a very good chat and said that they would visit frequently in the future. There were just a few customers, most of whom were old customers of the Guoxue Museum. I heard that these consultants' sons opened a shop to support them. Hao DaDaFeng also followed Mr. Li to the scene, but now Hao DaDaDali is no longer a construction worker, but also a small employee of Li's head office, and he behaves like a dog. The most valuable thing is that the guests did not stop for the whole day. People come to congratulate me during the day, and ghosts come to congratulate me at night. The ghosts who used to accompany my father to help me at the Chinese Studies Center also come to congratulate me in an endless stream at night...

After a busy day, the official opening was the next day. I didn't sleep all night the first day, and customers started coming to the door early the next morning. As soon as I opened the rolling shutter door in the morning, I saw two familiar faces waiting outside the door. It was none other than the elder brother and sister-in-law who were scared to pee by plastic bags in Huangtuling. Standing outside my door... ..
