Chapter 202 Formal Apprenticeship

Chapter 202 Formal apprenticeship

An old man walked to the stage holding a scroll of paintings in both hands, and together with Hua Buyi, slowly unfolded it, and then hung it on the incense table that had already been arranged. In the painting is a man in Tsing Yi, with extraordinary demeanor and elegant momentum, he is looking up at the sky, his face is full of compassion.

Shennongmen regards Shennong as their ancestor, and the person in the portrait is naturally Shennong.

Nan Bodhisattva shouted: "Shangxiang, worship Patriarch!"

Zhang Wu handed over three sticks of incense, Zhang Jun took them, and walked to the incense table, inserting incense and worshiping the ancestors. After nine prayers, he returned to his original place. At this time, Hua Buyi sat on the side of the incense table with a serious expression.

"Bring tea, apprentice!"

Zhang Jun took the tea bowl from Zhang Wu, went to Hua Buyi and knelt down, offering tea. Hua Buyi took it, took a sip and handed it back, Zhang Jun handed it to Zhang Wu.

The complicated etiquette lasted for half an hour, and finally Zhang Jun knelt in front of Hua Buyi and said respectfully, "Disciple Zhang Jun, pay homage to Master!"

Hua Buyi helped him up, and said softly, "Please get up, apprentice."

At this moment, there was thunderous applause from the audience, and Zhang Jun had officially entered Shennongmen. The two masters and apprentices joined hands to pay tribute to the guests in the audience, and then there was a big banquet, which was very lively.

Zhang Jun and Hua Buyi walked among the guests, chatting and laughing.

Zhang Jun walked to a table and found strangely that there was only one person on the table, and he was the old liar. The old liar had already had a mouthful of food and drank a bottle of wine.

When he saw Zhang Jun, he quickly waved and said with a smile, "Boy, come and have a few drinks with Master Dao."

Zhang Jun shook his head. He sat aside and said, "I'm an old man, how did you get in here?"

The old Taoist stared: "Nonsense! Is there any need for the Taoist to get in? Didn't you invite him?"

Zhang Junxin said that the devil invited you, but he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I must have forgotten." He was about to leave when a few people came from the next table.

Seeing these people, Zhang Jun quickly stood up, because their identities were unusual, they were all figures in the Xuanmen Fengshui world, the great Xiangshi Yuwen Jinghua, Ge Laoshen Ge Chunqiu, and the earth master Sun Buer.

These few people walked over, their eyes stayed on the old liar for a while, but no one said anything. Especially that Sun Buer, a generation of geologists, was actually very cautious, peeking at the past from time to time.

"Seniors, please sit down."

Ge Chunqiu said with a smile: "Zhang Jun, you are now a serious person in the world, congratulations."

Sun Buer also said: "Yes, little master, the world is dangerous, if you encounter any troubles in the future, just look for me."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned, little master?

Sun Buer's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't explain. He picked up the wine glass and drank a few glasses, and then left depressed, leaving everyone confused and inexplicable.

Zhang Jun scratched his head and asked Ge Chunqiu: "Senior Ge, what did Senior Sun mean just now?"

"I don't know." Ge Chunqiu said, "But he is a dignified earth master, he won't joke with you, there must be something hidden in it."

The title of geographer has been around for a long time. After Zhang Daoling was conferred the title of Celestial Master in the Han Dynasty, the title of Celestial Master became a hereditary official name. However, there are many capable people and supernatural abilities among the people in the wild. The most capable among them are not interested in the position of celestial master, so they are not restrained by it.

In addition, the top figures in the Qimen are often proficient in geomantic omen, that is, the art of locating the earth, and the name of the earth master comes from this. This grandson Buer is a contemporary geographer with unparalleled skills in geology.

Zhang Jun couldn't figure out the joint, so he could only smile wryly.

After eating and drinking enough, the old liar patted his stomach and left, even taking two bottles of good wine before leaving. The waiters pretended not to see it, but they despised this dirty old Taoist in their hearts.

In the afternoon, the guests left one after another, only Hua Buyi's close friends stayed, and they planned to stay for a few more days. And Hua Buyi also took the opportunity to give Zhang Jun a few more days to prepare, because in a few days, he will be serious about studying medicine and can no longer walk around casually.

Among the friends who came to congratulate, most of them have already returned, and only one Shen Rong stayed behind, saying that he would stay in Donghai for a few days. Lin Xian also brought Su Xiaoyu over, and Zhang Jun always felt that something was wrong when the four women bumped into each other.

Fortunately, the family in Qinghe County called and said that something happened at home and asked him to return quickly. Zhang Jun was sure that there should be nothing serious at home, otherwise his uncle would have notified him in advance. He hadn't been home for a long time, so he was going to leave the next day.

All of a sudden, Zhang Jun felt relieved to avoid the pincer attacks of the women.

In the afternoon, the plane landed at Tanglin Airport. When he walked to the airport pick-up gate, he saw Xu Feihu standing there with a smile, and saw Zhang Jun waving repeatedly.

Zhang Jun got into the police car of the Public Security Bureau, and the car roared towards Qinghe County. In the back seat, Xu Feihu and Zhang Jun sat side by side. He obviously didn't expect Xu Feihu to pick me up, so he asked directly: "Director Xu, did you come to pick me up today?"

Xu Feihu nodded. He is now the director of the Qinghe County Public Security Bureau. He said, "Brother Zhang, I heard the news of your return from your family, so I came here early in the morning to pick up the plane."

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Xu Feihu nodded with a serious expression: "I talked to Song Shiping on the phone a few days ago. According to him, brother, you are a real person and you don't show your face. You are a detective in Kyoto, and you can solve any case."

"In the past few days, there have been several bizarre cases in Qinghe County. Five villagers have died strangely. No clues were found."

Zhang Jun smiled slightly: "I'm some kind of detective, but I can really help you with this matter."

"That's great. I'll take care of you today and investigate the case tomorrow." Xu Feihu said happily.

"No, just take me home. I'll treat you to a drink another day."

"Okay, listen to you."

After sending Zhang Jun home, Xu Feihu left.

Back home, Zhang Guozhong was reading a newspaper while his mother was cooking in the kitchen. Seeing him coming back, Zhang Guozhong said: "Xiaojun is back, wash your hands quickly, let's eat."

Zhang Jun was depressed for a while, and said: "Dad, what's the matter, why do you have to call me to go home? Ask me on the phone, but you don't say anything, what happened?"

At this time, mother Lu Hongmei came out wearing an apron. When she heard her son's question, she smiled and said, "Xiaojun, you are not a young man. It has been more than three years since you graduated, right? You are twenty-four years old." Big man, why don't you hurry up and find someone?"

Zhang Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, you asked me to come here, wouldn't you be talking to me?"

"Yes, yes." Lu Hongmei regained her spirits, "Xiaojun, let me tell you, to heaven, your aunt and aunt ran to our house every three days, rushing to introduce you to someone. Those girls, tsk tsk , So handsome! Mom’s heart was moved when she saw it, so I deliberately noticed a few for you, so you can see them.”

Zhang Jun was speechless for a while, okay, Baba ran home, he came for a blind date. He coughed and said, "Mom, I actually have a girlfriend."

Lu Hongmei obviously didn't believe it: "Don't lie to your mother, you want a girlfriend, why don't you bring it home?"

No matter how he explained, Lu Hongmei just didn't believe it and insisted on a blind date, otherwise the family law would serve her.

Zhang Jun originally wanted to leave home to hide for a while, but on second thought, doing so might make his mother angry. Besides, it's not convenient for Lin Xian to come here at the moment, so it's better to deal with it first.

Thinking of this, he smiled and asked, "Mom, how many do you want me to meet?"

"It's rare for you to come back. Of course, the more the better." Lu Hongmei smiled happily, "Mom has prepared nine for you, and you have to see them within three days. It is said that our family's current conditions are not bad, so we should Find a better girl."

Zhang Jun was even more blunt, and said, "Mom, is it not easy to meet each other? Tomorrow will be done in one day. I will see my son once an hour."

Lu Hongmei reprimanded: "Nonsense! Blind date is a big deal, we must be cautious, we can only see three people a day."

Zhang Jun was helpless. After dinner, he called Xu Feihu, saying that he might not be able to get away in the next three days, and it would be a few days later to help him solve the case. Xu Feihu knew it was useless to be anxious, so he calmed down and prepared to wait for Zhang Jun for three days.

At night, Zhang Jun used golden light to help his mother recuperate her body. Now that his inner strength has grown, it is easier to do it. He found that the physique of his parents was much better than before, and they were full of vitality. According to this situation, it would not be a problem to live to the age of eighty or ninety.

The next day, the third aunt, the eldest aunt, and the younger aunt and second aunt all arrived. They were the main force in introducing Zhang Jun's girlfriend. The first person I met was introduced by my third aunt. It is said that she has a good family background. She once studied abroad and is currently working for a Fortune 500 company.

Zhang Jun looked at the photo of the other party. Although it was specially processed, it can be seen that the girl looks pretty good.

The place where the two met was a coffee shop. In a small place like Qinghe County, naturally there would not be too high-end coffee shops. Zhang Junyi waited for more than an hour to drink inferior coffee.

No matter how patient he was, he still felt slightly annoyed in his heart. Why does this woman have no sense of time? He was about to leave when he saw two women, Shi Shiran, walking over.

These two women, one in her fifties, are well maintained. The other was in his late twenties, and although his appearance was three points worse than in the photo, he looked pretty good.

The young woman's make-up was very heavy, she wore black one-piece stockings underneath, and a black gauze skirt on her upper body. She sat down with a very proud look on her face.

"Are you Zhang Jun?" she asked.

Zhang Jun smiled and said, "I am, you are Hou Fangfang, right?"

The woman said coldly: "Before I contact you, I want to ask you a few questions."

Zhang Junxin said it was straightforward, and said, "Okay, you can ask."

"Have you bought a house in a first-tier city?"

Zhang Jun thought for a while, he only had a house in Donghai, but it was given by Qiao Ba, and it was not counted as his own purchase, so he said honestly: "I didn't buy it."

The woman frowned: "A person of my level must work in a first-tier city. I don't have a house. How will we live in the future?"

Zhang Jun didn't speak, and looked very guilty and inferior.
