Chapter 107: Humility is empty and the peaks always enter the clouds (Part 1)

Mr. Xuanhua also smiled: "No need for guarantees, you can take away the things first, and then pay them back when you have money. I don't believe that Shi Zhenren is the kind of person who doesn't care about his trust."

To be honest, I hesitated for a moment. This thing is too expensive! After I got the money, I haven't given so much to my parents. This time I have to give such a valuable birthday gift to my future father-in-law. But I don't care. The Liu family in Zhiweilou real estate has half-investment and half-given. Even if I give such a valuable gift back, I should thank Ziying and I repeatedly put up a pen and wash it off and left. I feel a little emotional. When dealing with a family like the Liu family, people will not value money, but it is probably not possible to have money.

The two of them sent us out, and Qixin asked quietly beside me: "Zhen Shi, how are Feng Junzi coming soon?"

"He? He is quite good recently. He will invite Shang Yunfei from Guangjiao Temple tonight in Zhiweilou for dinner." When I said this, I suddenly stopped because Feng Junzi invited Shang Yunfei for Luxue. But how did these words say to Qixin?

...

Mr. Liu's birthday party started at 6 o'clock in the evening. In a private room on the second floor of Zhiwei Building, Liu Fei'er arranged a banquet in advance. Han Ziying personally cooked and cooked. There were not many guests, and in addition to Liu Fei'er and Mr. Liu and his wife, there were three people. One of them was the political teacher of our school, Mr. Tang Qingtang. He was the old friend of Principal Liu Zigui and his father were also an old acquaintance with Liu Fei'er's father. The other two were Zhang Rongdao, Zhang Zhizhi and his daughter. Zhiwei Building was a joint venture between the Liu family and the Zhang family, and the Zhang family was also another major family in Wucheng, so it was normal to come here to celebrate their birthdays.

I have heard the legend of the Liu family. It is said that Liu Feier's grandfather was a playboy, and in the end his family was defeated, he escaped the turmoil after the founding of the country. However, when Liu Feier saw that Liu's father's speech and behavior were not like that of the playboy, I even doubted whether this branch of the Liu family had been defeated? Perhaps it was just a way to avoid disaster for our ancestors. When Liu Feier introduced me, she did not say that I was his student, but that I was the person who sent back to the Liu family's ancient paintings, and she is also the major shareholder of Zhiweilou and her good friend. What surprised me was that Old Man Tang, who knew the relationship between us, did not point it out.

During the meal, I heard them talk loudly, but rarely interrupted, and just poured wine appropriately to persuade them to drink. Mr. Liu was very interested, and Liu Fei'er's mother repeatedly advised him not to drink too much. The parents of the Liu family had a good impression of me, which was probably related to my gift. When the old man held it in his hand, he liked it very much. He even said that there was no more elegant pen washing than this one. Mr. Liu did not ask me the price of the pen washing, nor where I got it. He just asked if he knew who this jade was from and who had collected it? I only said that I was not very clear.

According to modern people's habits, I should call them uncles and aunts, but according to the customs of Wucheng, my friends' elders are called uncles and aunts, so I just called them. In short, the atmosphere of this meal is good, and Liu Feier is also very satisfied with my performance. In such an occasion, I don't need to perform more, so it's enough to leave a good impression.

Our private room is very lively, but Junziju, the next door, has been quiet. When the door is closed, there is no idea what Feng Junzi and Shang Yunfei is saying inside. When the birthday party ends here, Feng Junzi and Shang Yunfei have left. After seeing off the guests from the Liu family, I am also preparing to go back to school. Tomorrow is Monday, class will be held, but an uninvited guest comes. Today is a coincidence. What a coincidence that what should come and what should not come to Zhiweilou, and Director Gu comes. I just completed the last mission. Could he have any trouble coming to me?

...

"Ishino, do you know who killed Zezhong from Zhengyimen?" I was Director Gu who was receiving at Junziju. After closing the door, I heard the first sentence he said, so shocked that I almost didn't sweat. Director Gu not only knew that Zezhong came from Zhengyimen, but also knew that Zezhong was killed.

"Director Gu, what do you mean? Who is Zezhong?" I didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd, so I could only ask in a daze.

Director Gu smiled: "Zhengren Shi, I will only say these words to you after closing the door here. Even if the conversation has never happened today before when you go out. Don't be surprised. I was once a Taoist scholar. Twenty years ago, I was under Zhengyimen and Zhenren Zhengfeng, and my name was Zegu."

Mushrooms grow on the stone, and new tricks are coming. Director Gu was once a disciple of Zhengyi, and his magic name is Zegu. So I am still his elder. I looked at him with confusion and said nothing.

Director Gu continued a little embarrassedly: "Shiye, sit down and talk. Actually, I should call you uncle, but I am no longer a disciple of Zhengyi, so I am exempted from this seniority. Zezhong betrayed and Zhengyi issued a pursuit order. I know all these things, but my identity is not convenient to interfere in this matter. Fortunately, the elders of Zhengyi took action personally."

"You, since you think it's the elders of Zhengyi's sect who took action, why do you still ask me?"

Director Gu: "I also blame my subordinates for not doing things in a good manner and leaking Zezhong's death to the outside world, causing you trouble... I am here to remind you today. Now everyone in the world thinks that you killed Zezhong."

"Director Gu, can you explain things from the beginning? I can't accept it for a while when you suddenly told me this."

Director Gu no longer concealed his life experience and his relationship with Zhengyi. Director Gu experienced a turbulent era in his youth. His father was originally an old-style literati who studied Confucian classics. After his movements, he finally failed to escape the "Criticize Lin and Commentary Confucius" movement twenty years ago. After his father's death, Director Gu became a wandering boy who was idle and unwelcome. At this time, a friend of his father's childhood could not bear to see him spending his youth in troubled times. After asking for his mother's consent, he took him to a place that was almost a paradise and accepted him as his disciple.

This person is Hefeng, a real person from Zhengyi. Hefeng received Xiaogu's introduction, because he thought of his old friend's feelings and wanted to protect this child from the impact of troubled times. Hefeng educated his disciples very harshly, and his life was very hard under his disciples. After a few years of development, Zegu Daofa did not make much progress, but he grew up healthy. After ten years of turmoil, Hefeng told Zegu: "You have not learned the foundation and fate of the Jindan Avenue, so you should go back and support your mother."

Zegu left Zhengyi, and was not driven out or betrayed by himself. He never really got into the game. Although he had not achieved the Tao of alchemy, he still learned some superficial internal skills in Zhengyi, and also understood the magic of Taoism. He knew a few tricks. After Zegu left Zhengyi, he did nothing. His father's old friend sent him to join the army. As soon as he joined the army, he caught up with the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam and went to the battlefield in a daze. Although he had not achieved the Tao of the Tao, he still had a foundation. He was selected as a scout and made many military achievements with his outstanding military qualities. Later, he was promoted and gradually got up one by one with his seniority and luck.

In the 1980s, our army built a new special forces unit on the basis of the scout team, and Director Gu also joined the special forces. Later, the relevant departments jointly formed a special operation department, which is the department where I participated. Director Gu obeyed the arrangement and retired to the local area with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and joined the department. Director Gu finally said: "I asked myself to stay in Wucheng. With my seniority, I gave up on several opportunities for promotion. Because I knew that although Wucheng was not very famous in the country, it was a fundamental important place in the current practice world. In this position, I can try my best to maintain the boundary between the practice world and the secular world. This department is too sensitive. I must not only obey the interests of the country, but also protect my former sect."

"Then I...what happened to me when I joined this department?"

Director Gu: "I have heard of Shi Xiao Zhenren's name for a long time. You made a big fuss about Qiyunguan and Yujingguangjiao Temple. I know you are a practitioner. You were not chosen by me, but Master Qin occasionally discovered it. I can't help but recommend you by calling it. But I have tried my best to deal with your identity as low as possible. I know that your cultivation is good, but I only designated you as a B-level member - because A-level members are subject to key monitoring."

"What about Zezhong? How did Zezhong find you?"

Director Gu: "Ze Zhong took the initiative to come to him, and I had to take him in. If he finds another place, the trouble may be greater and can be controlled in my hands. But I have my principles. I cannot interfere in the affairs of the world because of my selfish intentions, nor can I indulge practitioners to interfere in secular affairs. So I can only try my best to suppress Ze Zhong's request to be transferred to another place, but I cannot do anything to him."

"Zezhong is dead, are you relieved?"

Director Gu: "To be honest, I feel sorry for him. I have not learned Taoism and left Zhengyi, but he has learned Taoism and chose to betray him. I know who killed him, but I can't tell him... He died from the unique Taoist magic god Xiaotian Lei in Zhengyi. In the Zhengyi Sect, the only one who can use the god Xiaotian Lei is my former mentor and Feng."

After hearing this, I realized that Director Gu had guessed wrongly. He thought that the one who killed Ze was Hefeng, so he chose to remain silent. But I knew that the one who really killed Ze was Shuzheng. Since he kept the secret for his master, I should not say that Shuzheng, who had a relationship with me, so I didn't explain to him. I asked him: "Director Gu, you were once a disciple of Zhengyi, so are there people like you in this Wucheng?"

Director Gu: "Zhengyi Sect is the largest sect in the world of cultivation today. The fundamental place is in Wucheng, and of course there will be scattered disciples. I am not suitable for such people to reveal their identities. But there is one person I can tell you, because this person is very close to you, and he is Tang Qing, the teacher of your school."

"Old man Tang! He is also a disciple of the Zhengyi clan?"

Director Gu: "It was before liberation, but it was no longer now. In short, he was still my elder, with the magic name Heqing, and after Hefeng in the sect, he was before Hexi and Hechen. Among the new generation of disciples, few people know that there was another uncle Heqing, and even Hechen had never seen him."

"Why did he leave Zhengyi? Is it the same as you?"

Director Gu: "He is different from mine. According to my master Hefeng's evaluation, Heqing is a first-class understanding, but he does not have the best qualifications and temperament to learn Taoism. Therefore, he has a high talent for understanding Taoism. When he was a young man, Shuzheng liked him very much, but after two years, Heqing himself was unwilling to learn it. He believed that the real Tao is not in the mountains."

"And there are people like this? What did he say?"

Director Gu: "There are all kinds of people in this world. Tang Qing was originally a scholar, and it was a fate to meet a true man by chance. But he was born in a special era. When he was an adult, he coincided with the founding of New China. He had a lot of ambitions and enthusiasm. He believed that the real way of the world should not be just his own practice, but to educate and guide all the world to truly face the world. So he chose another path and became friends with Liu Zigui, a famous educational and national-saving theorist in Wucheng. He worked as a teacher at Wucheng Middle School and taught for more than 40 years."

I had long felt that Old Man Tang in our school was different. He really had a special origin and actually came from Shouzheng. I asked Director Gu again: "According to you, when Heqing left Zhengyi, you were not born yet. How did you know?"

Director Gu: "I didn't know either. But when I left Zhengyi, Hefeng Zhenren specifically told me that I had another uncle in Wucheng. I would not be able to go back to Zhengyi again if I have any doubts in the future, but I can go and ask Teacher Tang of Wucheng Middle School."

"Thank you for telling me this. Are you here today trying to say this?"

Director Gu shook his head: "I am not here today to tell you this, but if you don't make these words clear, you won't believe me. I am here to remind you that you are in trouble and someone has set up a dangerous situation for you."

"Who?"

Director Gu: "Zheng Yimen and Chen."

"Why did he do this by Qi Yunguan? What other dangerous situation did he set up?"
