Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 33

I first persuaded him to feel at ease, and then said that I was an old acquaintance with that Ma Daxian, and we hadn't seen each other for many years, and I just wanted to catch up.

But she said, Ma Daxian seems to be in his forties or fifties, how come he is an old acquaintance with someone around 20 years old like me?
I hurriedly babbled nonsense about dating friends, and she agreed with half-belief.After introducing themselves to each other, I found out that her name is Li Feifei and her father is Li Jianlong.

I was a little confused, so I quickly asked if her father was the big boss of Jianlong, and she nodded with a smile.My God, it turns out that she is a rich second generation.

"Master Thirteen, have you become Mr. Yin Yang at such a young age?"

Hearing her question, I brought out the set of words my master taught me, saying that I am talented and intelligent, and I am a one-in-a-kind Taoist wizard. In short, it is just obscure words.Seeing that he was bluffing her, he quickly changed the subject.

"Your dad is going to have a funeral tomorrow. Which funeral home is he in?" She told me the address, and then said that she would pick me up tomorrow.I politely refused, but she seemed a little unhappy, so she agreed.

When Li Feifei sent me back to the store, Zhang Feng and Zhang Ling standing in front of the door were looking at me with bitter faces.Zhang Ling originally wanted to come up and pinch me, but when she saw that my head was wrapped in gauze, she didn't attack me.Quickly asked me why I did it again, Li Feifei explained what happened last night, her face was full of apology.

I asked Li Feifei to wait downstairs, and I went upstairs to get a talisman for her.

"Hurry up as a law!"

After chanting the mantra, I saw that Li Feifei's feet behind her shoes disappeared, so I felt relieved.Then he gave her a talisman, telling her not to leave her body except to take a bath.She thanked her again, exchanged some pleasantries, and drove away.

"You said you, what are you doing drinking so much?" Zhang Ling pulled the suitcase and walked to the back room, I ignored her, and chatted with Zhang Feng about Tao Ming who came to visit suddenly.

"Master told me, but not as detailed as you said. By the way, is he really as obscene as you said?" Zhang Feng seemed to think that my description was too exaggerated, and he was a little suspicious.

"Of course I'm not exaggerating. Really, I don't look like a good person." I touched my head while talking. , fell down.

Which day fainted several times?

When I woke up, Zhang Ling was wiping my face. Seeing that I was awake, she quickly called Zhang Feng over.

"What's the matter with you, I think you should go back to the hospital to have a look." Now when I smell the disinfectant in the hospital, I feel sick, so I hurriedly said no.

Then he told about his inexplicable qi refining, Zhang Feng thought about it, and went downstairs by himself.After a while, he came over with a red thread and a stick of incense.

"I remember you are left-handed." I nodded.

Zhang Feng quickly pulled my left hand, then wrapped the red thread around my middle finger, picked up the incense with the other hand, and then told Zhang Ling to light the incense.Then forcefully, I tied the other end on my purple fingertip that had been strangled by the red thread.

Blood flowed out in an instant, and then Zhang Feng muttered something, but because his voice was too low, he couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

"You, it's the anger attacking your heart, which has affected your tendons. Western medicine can't find out these things! You have to vent your fire, junior brother." After listening to Zhang Feng's words, I deliberately looked at the person next to me with begging eyes. Zhang Ling.At first she didn't understand it, but after she figured it out, she quickly pinched my thigh.

"Hey!" This scream was really from the heart, and now I can't tell whether it's the pain in my legs or the pain in my fingers.

"Okay, let me tell you, don't keep making fun of Lingling, she has a boyfriend now, be careful she beats you!" When Zhang Feng loosened the rope, I saw blackened blood in the small bowl.

However, his mind became much clearer, and the fatigue on his body also decreased a bit.Trying to close your eyes and luck, you can clearly feel the normal warm current swimming through your body.

"What, does anyone want you tigress?" I sat up.

Seeing Zhang Ling standing aside, making a "pinch" motion with my thumb and index finger, I immediately changed my attitude, "That means that person is lucky, right? Good. But we look good, don't you think?"

Zhang Lingchu didn't realize for a long time whether I was praising her or hurting her.I took the opportunity to sneak into the room to prepare for tomorrow, thinking, no matter what kind of Ma Daxian or Niu Daxian you are, tomorrow I will let you see what authentic Taoism is.

After thinking about it, since Zhang Feng is back, why not take him to the safety point as well.

After dinner, I told him about it.He was also a little surprised at first, but he calmed down quickly, saying that we are not learning the Tao to be competitive.However, this Ma Daxian has been bluffing and deceiving, which really damages the image of the patriarch.

Zhang Ling also wanted to join in the fun, and murmured on the sidelines that she wanted to see it too.Zhang Feng has always been very used to her, so he agreed to take her with him.

Although he is a liar, he can't take it lightly when he thinks that he may have something to do with the Soul Sect.I wanted to wear the Taoist robe of the master, but Zhang Feng told me to dress normally, I was too ostentatious.They didn't invite us to do rituals, so I don't know if I messed up the place?

I thought I was right, so I folded the Taoist robe and put it back.

The weather outside today is very nice, sunny and sunny.Zhang Ling was putting on sunscreen for herself, and asked me if I would like some, and I said how could I use such a motherly thing for such an imposing man of seven feet.She curled her lips and said that there is no need to pull it down.

However, when she wasn't paying attention, I secretly squeezed a lump and smeared it on my face and arms. Don't look too hot in the northeast, the sun is very poisonous.

It was only after five o'clock, and the funeral parlor was already crowded with people.These days, the money of the dead is much better than that of the living.

Li Jianlong's funeral was naturally very grand. When I was looking at the remains, I realized that half of the people in the hall had passed.Zhang Feng and Zhang Ling couldn't even squeeze in, so we just had to look behind.

Among the crowd, a man in a black suit was talking to Li Feifei. This man seemed normal to normal people.But I could see a strange golden light on the man's head, which, strange to say, had never happened before.

I hurriedly told Zhang Feng that I saw something unusual. He thought about it and said that it might be the reason why I hit my head in a car accident.However, this explanation is not really convincing.

The relatives and friends went out one after another after paying their respects to the remains, and the man in black told everyone to arrive at the Sanjiang Hotel for the thank-you banquet at eleven o'clock.

After the corpse was sent in for cremation, Li Feifei walked over quickly.

"The one in black is Ma Daxian, right?" I asked.

"Don't you know each other?" Li Feifei said curiously.

"I haven't seen him for many years. He seems to have gained weight, so I didn't recognize him, hehe." Actually, I couldn't be sure in my heart.

"Yeah, he arranged everything today. Do you want to go over and talk to him?"

"Sister Feifei, just wait here, I'll go over and say hello." After speaking, he winked at Zhang Feng and walked towards Ma Daxian.

Looking at this Immortal Ma from a close distance, not to mention, in terms of appearance, he really has a bit of a fairy spirit.A medium and slightly fat body, with raised cheekbones, it can be seen that this person's personality should not be very good.As the saying goes, women with high cheekbones don't need a knife to kill.This sentence should also apply to men.

"Who are you two?" Obviously, he also noticed us.

"You are the famous Ma Daxian?"

"Oh, I don't know why you two are looking for me?" Although his expression looked a little wary, his tone was very kind.

"I want to know if you know my master, Zhang Muzhen?" Zhang Feng said at this time.

He should have sensed that it was not good, so he said: "I have heard about it, but we don't agree with each other, and we have only met a few times." After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, and I hurried forward to stop him.

"Don't rush away! We still have something to talk about." He looked at me, and then at my hand holding his clothes, which meant to let me go.

I loosened his clothes, Zhang Feng approached and motioned for me to let him talk, I nodded.

Zhang Feng said straight to the point: "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, and we just want to know what relationship you have with Soul Sect?" When he heard "Soul Sect", he was stunned.

He looked around, lowered his voice and said, "It's not suitable to talk about it here. Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it in another place." Seeing that he turned to leave, I said quickly:

"You should know that you are wanted now, right?"

After listening to what I said, he didn't turn around, but said coldly over there: "You have found the wrong person, that swindler is my younger brother, and he has been punished." Then he entered the back hall without looking back. .

What?He also has a younger brother, shouldn't he?I really didn't know this happened before.

"Brother, do you think it is possible for him to deceive us?"

"Probably not. I think he should know a lot of things. Although we don't know him, when we talked just now, there was no panic on his face." Brother Feng said.

Fearing that he would take the opportunity to escape, the three of us waited for him at the exit.In fact, we really worried too much. They haven't confiscated the money yet, so we just need to keep an eye on Li Feifei.

Finally at 09:30, Li Jianlong's farewell ceremony was successfully concluded.

Ma Daxian was the first to come out, took a look at us, and then told us to follow.After getting into his car, he asked us to talk to us.Zhang Feng told him the address, and the car started.I'm still a little nervous, if it's really not him, then what we did just now was really rude.

"Actually, your master and I didn't just meet each other once. We used to work together." Zhang Ling handed the brewed tea to Ma Daxian who was talking. "Thank you, but since that incident, we seldom contact each other."

I didn't know how to answer the conversation, so I just waited for him to speak.

Ma Daxian, whose real name is Ma Wen, has a younger brother named Ma Wu who is 3 years younger than him.The two brothers worked as Taoist boys in the Taoist temple of Qinglong Mountain when they were young.

"Isn't there a temple in Qinglong Mountain? How can there be any Taoist temple?" I asked, maybe the old man was trying to deceive us.

Zhang Feng said on the side: "You don't know this. It used to be a Taoist temple. Later, it was demolished. After eight or so years, a group of monks came over and built the temple." Zhang Feng's explanation made me feel a little embarrassed. .

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. You don't know about it, so it's reasonable." Ma Wen took a sip of tea and continued, "We were the happiest during that time. Later, we went down the mountain, and the brothers and sisters all went to jump in line. I am your master whom I met during that time." Speaking of this, he saw a smile on his face.

"May I ask how old you are this year?"

"I'm about ten years younger than your master." I looked at my brother and Zhang Ling, and found that all three of us had the same expressions.

He knew our question and said, "We all look young, right." I nodded, but he kept sipping tea and didn't say anything.

"Do you know my uncle? Zhong Zhengshan?" Ma Wen was stunned when he said this.

After a while, he said to me: "Although you are his descendant, I can tell you, don't get involved in this matter, it won't do you any good." I wanted to continue asking, but he just waved his hand.

"However, I can tell you with certainty that I am not a member of the Soul Sect, and my unbelievable younger brother has really surrendered."

After talking for a long time, he came here to drink tea and didn't say anything useful.I was a little awkward, first, I wasn't sure what he said was true; second, I didn't hear what I wanted to hear at all.

Is the generation gap really that big? People of their generation always speak so obliquely.

"Soul Sect does exist. After Zhang Heng, the second generation of Zhang Tianshi, passed away, Tianshi Dao fell into Zhang Xiu's hands, officially renamed Tianshijiao as Wudou Rice Sect, and assisted Zhang Jiao in the uprising. Later, after Liu Yan incorporated Wudou Rice Sect , sent Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu to attack Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong. After killing Su Gu, Zhang Lu took the opportunity to kill Zhang Xiu. Using the prestige of Zhang Daoling and Zhang Heng, he recaptured the Five Dou Rice Sect and changed its name to Tianshidao .”

I listened to Marvin talking like I was listening to a story, and I didn't know what it had to do with what I wanted to hear.At this time, Li Feifei called and asked us to go to the hotel.He refused again and again, but the hospitality was hard to turn down, so he had to stop Marvin's eloquent speech and talk about it at the dinner table for a while.

When she came to the hotel, she thought that she could just eat something in the lobby, but unexpectedly, she booked a private room.He also said that we belonged to the guests, and the noise in the hall was not suitable for conversation, so he took us into the private room.

"Uncle Ma, I heard from Shisan that you two are old acquaintances, so let's talk first, and I'll go out to receive guests." After Li Feifei finished speaking, I lowered my head in embarrassment.

However, Ma Wen was not angry, instead he laughed, and said that he was not an old friend, it was a good friend from generation to generation.

Li Feifei walked out, and Ma Wen said to me, "You gave me the talisman on Feifei's body, right?" I nodded.

"Yes, this talisman has basically reached its maximum effect in terms of the caster's morality and mana power. I don't know what you have experienced. To be able to draw such a talisman, the Taoist practice must be at least a hundred years old." He said. As he spoke, his tone was full of exclamation.

I don't know, if it's appropriate to speak out about my experiences during the Yin period, I might as well just keep silent.

Ma Wen cleared his throat and said: "Then let me continue. As the heirs of the righteous school, you need to know." He paused, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"But in fact, Zhang Xiu didn't die at that time. He had already calculated that Zhang Lu would get rid of him sooner or later, so he sealed his own soul in a talisman and handed it to his cronies. The soul is called Shuangling."

I had previously checked online about the three souls and seven souls of human beings. In Taoism, the three souls are: Fetal Light, Shuangling and Ghost Essence.The main function of Shuangling is to master knowledge and make people clever in all things.

"That's right, he kept his knowledge and transferred one of his souls to a fool through the spellcasting of his remaining subordinates. This fool became stupid because of the lack of one of the three souls." At this time All the dishes were served, but none of us moved our chopsticks, and listened carefully to what Ma Wen said.

"After Zhang Xiu was alive, he found that he remembered everything clearly except his appearance, so he founded the "Soul Sect" faction by himself. He was born in Taoism, but not good at Taoism. It is rumored that he is not only proficient in Taoism , and is also very proficient in Qimen Dunjia." Ma Wen picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin with his chopsticks and began to eat it.

I thought to myself, could you be more professional?Stopped mid-sentence.

After he finished eating, he cleared his throat and continued: "But the good times didn't last long. He was no longer satisfied with the shackles of his body, so after a hundred years, he chose to go down to the underworld to find a way to live forever. Think about it, our cultivation itself You just want to become immortals, right?"

Everyone nodded, but I didn't think so. I just wanted to know what happened to Sun Jing, why my uncle was so young, and a series of puzzles.

I was even intimidated by my own obsession.

"However, the revival of Zhang Xiu's own soul already belongs to the way of breaking ghosts. How could it be possible for a demon to become a fairy? He knew it well, so he went to the underworld to find how to surpass the three realms. Later I don't know about it. However, the 'Soul Sect' had already taken shape at that time."

"After talking so much, I still don't understand what's going on. Since the cult has disappeared for so long, how did it suddenly appear? When I went to Heixiazi Island, the talisman on the tablet I saw, the master said it should be the soul Zong's soul-containing talisman. I also learned that it is your brother's masterpiece." I said.
