Chapter 91: Each of us

At this moment, I was filled with excitement. In the face of Master Liu’s explanation, I directly urged him to ask, “Master Liu, can you be more specific?”

“It’s very simple. There are many monsters in the rivers, and there are clues to finding them. After all, it’s too difficult to wait for a successful trip to the dragon. The places I’ve outlined for you are all places where monsters are likely to be hiding. These monsters are devoted to their practice, but it doesn’t mean that they will soon get the fruit. Simply put, when they reach a certain level, they won’t stay in this place. It’s very likely that they will go to Penglai. The time for these monsters marked on this map is almost up. Do you understand?” Master Liu said seriously.

Of course I understand. After all these years, I finally got a precious clue. Master Liu didn’t have to say anything, and I knew the value behind the red circles on the single-story map!

Seeing my excitement, Master Liu coughed a few times before saying, “Kid, don’t get too excited. You need to know that monsters also represent danger. So, I’m telling you in advance, if this clue doesn’t work, use your master’s connections! After all, there’s more than one way to get to Kunlun, and some legends are shocking.”

I know that danger is always present, but I’m curious about the shocking legends.

Master Liu had cultivated a tacit understanding with me during our earlier exchanges, and when he saw my inquiring look, he explained directly: “After being recognized as the successor to Kunlun, you can freely return to Kunlun. I don’t know if there are any restrictions, but there are some extremely secret legends in the circle.”

This answer coincides with some of the answers I got at the ghost market. Could it be that my master…? I didn’t continue to speculate. The most frightening thing for people is unfounded speculation, which is undoubtedly a torment for life.

After that, I chatted with Master Liu for a while, asking him what Kunlun would be like and where it would be.

On this, it seems that the omniscient Master Liu did not have a definite answer, and after discussing it with me for a long time, we even agreed that the location of Kunlun should be like a place to live.

The conversation with Master Liu was undoubtedly pleasant. We talked from morning until lunchtime, and he told me a lot about the circle. He also expressed concern about my involvement with Feng Wei.

He told me that Feng Wei is a man who will stop at nothing, and if necessary, it would be best to use my master’s connections.

I was in a mood, so I didn’t care much. I told Master Liu that if I couldn’t handle it, I’d talk to him later. All Taoists do is fight with magic. If they can’t fight with magic, they fight with tricks and secret arts. I don’t think I’d lose to him in that.

Could he be crazy enough to shoot me with a gun? Even if he had the connections in China to clean up the mess for him, he would never do that. He would lose face in front of his ancestors! Don’t think that those who practice evil ways don’t care about their reputation. They may be despicable, but they can’t ruin the reputation of the heritage.

After ordering take-out and having a happy meal with Chef Liu, I left Chef Liu’s home with this precious map and contact book in my arms.

But when I left, I couldn’t help but look back at this small building, which looked a bit ugly among the beautiful buildings. It was an awkward building, and the first time I saw it was in 1990.

This is the second time I have crossed paths with it!

What about the third time? Will the owner of the small building still be there? The terrible two-year promise… I was a little sad, but I didn’t dare to think about it. In the afternoon, under the scorching sun, I put on my sunglasses and left quickly.

My life is always busy and hectic. On the day I got the clue, I immediately shared it with Brother Chengxin, who immediately called Brother Chengqing and brought him over.

After Cheng Qing arrived, Cheng Xin immediately threw the map to him and said, “It’s a small matter to check the fortune and calculate the route, right?”

This made Cheng Qing very confused and he asked what was going on.

Hui Gen was eating a steamed bun with a filling of minced meat, and when he heard Cheng Qing ask what was going on, he swallowed half the bun in one gulp, then slapped his hands together and said indistinctly, “I’ll tell you!”

This kid loves to give speeches!

With Hui Gen’er’s vivid description, Cheng Qingge quickly understood what was going on. He was always calm and collected, but he was also excited. As long as he wasn’t a fool, he should understand how precious this clue was.

He put away the map and said, “I’ll keep this map. To get 100% of the good and bad fortune, and even calculate which road is most beneficial to us, this is no small matter, it’s a big deal. It really gives me a headache to talk about this with people who have no common sense.”

Obviously, my serious senior brother was indignant at the casual way in which Chengxin had just spoken. Chengxin was afraid to argue with the authoritative Chengqing, so he quickly clasped his hands in front of him and said to Chengqing, “Brother, I’m sorry, okay? You and Chengzhen and Chengyuan can study this map together. You all have some divination skills, such as feng shui and fortune-telling. I and Chengyi will not interfere.”

“Well, that’s what I thought.” Brother Chengqing was satisfied with this sentence, but soon he put forward his views, which stumped us: “Going to sea is not something you can just think up. There are many things to figure out in the middle, and you may need connections to get it done! Moreover, you need a lot of money to support our actions. Think about it, how do you solve it?”

This is really the crux of the problem. Chengqing’s analysis was like a bucket of cold water poured over my head, and we, who couldn’t wait to leave the next day, suddenly calmed down.

In the end, we brought Chengzhen and Chengyuan to Tianjin to discuss it together!

The conclusion of the discussion was that we would each be responsible for our own business and make our own money! Everyone had their own tasks.

In other words, we need three years to prepare for these trivial matters, but Brother Chengxin also raised one thing: “I need to go to the old forest in Northeast China with Chengyi. That’s very important. I also mentioned the ginseng essence earlier. This is a must.”

Cheng Qing frowned and asked us, “Is half a year enough?”

“Is that enough?” Brother Chengxin wasn’t sure.

“Time can be flexible. In the future, the two of us will have to take on the important task of making money. Feng shui and the like are very popular.” Cheng Qing said helplessly. This is the only way to distribute it.

Cheng Zhen made a face and said, “Are you kidding? Three grown men are putting the responsibility of making money on two women.”

The three of us men are indeed ‘thick-skinned’, and we all pretended not to hear it. It was only the little guy Hui Gen who, while playing with his PSP, said, “Those who can do more, those who can do more!”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuan walked over unceremoniously and pinched Hui Gen’er’s face, which was no longer round. Hui Gen’er said with a “grievance” in his voice, “I’ve grown up, I’m a handsome guy, please don’t treat handsome guys like little round eggs, thank you.”

This made us laugh!

In the midst of the laughter, Brother Chengxin reminded me, “Remember to tell Ru Yue and Ru Xue about this. They haven’t forgotten about Grandma Ling Qing either. Do you understand?”

Ru Xue? I felt like I hadn’t seen her in a long time, but we had seen a movie together last winter! Thinking about it, I was about to see her again, and my heart still jumped uncontrollably.

But I managed to stay calm and nodded at Chengxin brother very calmly!

As I said at the beginning, my life is busy and hectic. The Tianjin gathering of my fellow classmates lasted only two days, and then we all hurriedly went our separate ways. We all had a lot of things to do.

Chengxin and I also parted ways. He had his own business to attend to, and I was going to the Yueyan Miao Village to gather the soul of Irene!

In the end, I boarded the plane to Kunming with Huigen. I didn’t even have time to go back, and I didn’t know if my parents were worried about me, or if Su Rou was complaining that I wasn’t coming back!

I have a bad habit of changing my SIM card when I go somewhere, so many people can’t get in touch with me.

I’ve been gone for so long, I hope I can go back before Su Rou’s baby is born!
