Chapter 18 The Trip to the Ceremony
Chapter 18 The Trip to the Ceremony
In the early morning of the second day, just as Shang Qing woke up, Housekeeper Zhao came to report tremblingly, saying that someone outside asked him for help.
Butler Zhao was also miserable. Before he got up this morning, someone came to the door. He went out to have a look, good guy, half of the upper class in Qingyun City were waiting at the door of Zhou's house!
And all of them were warm and polite, and they just kept talking about looking for their young master.
Steward Zhao didn't dare to offend the wives of the heads of the family, nor did he dare to disturb his young master's sleep, so he walked around in the yard anxiously, sweating three catties in the morning.
Now that Shang Qing finally woke up, he came to report in small steps.
After thinking about it for a while, Shang Qing understood that it was probably those who attended the Xin family banquet yesterday.
He took out a stack of talismans from the table, "Sell them one for [-] yuan, and each person is limited to three. You tell them that after taking it for a month, all evil spirits will disappear, and as long as you do more good deeds in the future, nothing will happen to the Xin family." They have any impact."
Steward Zhao took the talisman, and withdrew in fear, becoming more and more curious about what happened yesterday.It seems that their young master conquered the entire Qingyun City in one night?
Those high-ranking people who were guarding outside sighed with regret when they saw that only Butler Zhao came out.Of course, they also want to buy the talisman, but their ultimate goal is to make friends with this young and promising mystic.If this kind of thing happens again in the future, it won't be calculated quietly.
Speaking of which, they had heard about the illegitimate child of the Zhou family before. They heard that the Zhou family worked hard to find him back. As a result, this person not only grew up in a remote village, but after he came back, he only knew how to draw amulets and tell fortunes. He looked like a charlatan.
At that time, they made fun of Zhou Zhengliang secretly.So what about the richest man in Qingyun City? It's because he can't raise a good son!
How could they have imagined that one day they would have to rely on others for help!
Alas, my face hurts just thinking about it.
Blame that old man Xin Cheng!
Everyone at the scene signaled to each other with their eyes, and decided to speed up the pace of encroaching on the Xin family after returning.Regardless of whether it's cold or not, let the Xin family go bankrupt first!
It can be said that after this battle, Shang Qing became famous throughout Qingyun City, and there was an endless stream of wealthy businessmen and gentry who wanted to ask him for feng shui fortune-telling.Even one of his talismans can cause a rush of looting.
Of course, these are things to come.Now Shang Qing is eating breakfast, and a series of money transfer messages are sent to his mobile phone.Almost every one is 30. These people may have too much money to spend. When they heard that each person was limited to three tickets, they felt that buying one was a disadvantage.
Shang Qing thought about it for a while, and now he has earned a lot of money, so he asked You Mingchi for a reliable charity organization, and donated half of it.
After finishing all these, it was time to go to school, and he took the snacks made by Wang Ma to school.
After recuperating for a while, Teacher Luo was finally able to come to class, and some students who didn't know anything were relieved.
How should I put it, although Teacher Luo is very strict, but this is high school after all, the students are all grown up, and they know that she is doing it for their own good.Teacher Luo seldom takes such a long leave, and they are really worried.
But this kind of worry only lasted until the first class, when Teacher Luo came in with the math test paper.
Gan!He even took the exam as soon as he came back!Totally unprepared!
Teacher Luo looked at the mournful faces of the children below, and a smile flashed in her eyes. She occasionally teased these children.In fact, this test will not be counted as a result, but she will not say it in advance.
After finishing the exam with great difficulty, the three of Shang Qing finally got together to talk.You Ziming pointed to Meng Huai's shoe and asked, "Xiao Meng, what is that white thing on your shoe? Is it an accessory?"
Meng Huai sighed, "This is wearing filial piety, a tradition in our hometown. A cousin in my hometown passed away, and I lived in her house for a while when I was a child. I have to wear filial piety for half a month."
You Ziming was embarrassed, "Ah, I don't know this, I haven't seen it, don't mind!"
Meng Huai glared at him, what are the brothers talking about!
You Ziming chuckled, and looked at Shang Qing again, "In this case, if we go to Yunhua Temple next weekend to attend some kind of Dharma meeting, Xiaomeng won't be able to go."
Shang Qing nodded, "Although the Taoist temple is a place of practice, there are always lonely souls and wild ghosts watching outside, so it's best not to go."
Meng Huai also shook his head, "My mother also said, please don't walk around during this time, saying that people who wear mourning have bad luck."
Shang Qing patted him on the shoulder, "Go home early during this time, and don't come out at night."
Meng Huai nodded.
It's time for evening self-study.
Like Shang Qing, Meng Huai is also a local, but he just asked for a dormitory at school, lived in it occasionally, and was usually a commuter.
Jinhua High School has a rule that day students do not have to go to the last evening self-study, so after the second period of evening self-study, Meng Huai hurriedly said goodbye to his friends and hurried home.
The little fat man is good at nothing else, but one thing is that he is very obedient. Both Shang Qing and his mother asked him to go home early at night, and he dared not delay for a minute.
It was only past eight o'clock, and there were many pedestrians on the road. Meng Huai was riding his bicycle along the sidewalk towards home, when he heard the crying of a child blown by the wind in front of him, crying so badly that he vomited.It sounds like it's not too old, it's a crisp child's voice.
He was thinking about it when he turned a corner with his bicycle and saw a four or five-year-old girl on the side of the road, crying with her face up and holding a Barbie doll in her hand.
Meng Huai looked around, but found no adults there, "Kid, where are your parents?"
The little girl cried less, sobbing and saying: "I don't know, mom and dad are gone..."
Meng Huai was speechless. This is a pedestrian commercial street, and in front of it is a snack street. It is a hot time and crowded with people.It is estimated that the parents of this unlucky child crowded around and lost the child.
With such a big heart, I didn't know to come back and look for it.
He sighed, "Don't cry, kid, go find the police uncle with your brother, let's ask the police uncle to find your parents."
The little girl nodded obediently, "Okay, thank you brother~"
Meng Huai carried her into the car and pushed the car forward.He is familiar with this road, there is a police station on duty less than 200 meters ahead, just send people there.
The little girl nestled in his arms obediently, with tears still hanging on her snow-white face.The eyes of the Barbie doll in my hand blink...

Shang Qing was awakened by the ringtone of the mobile phone in his sleep, and when he looked at the caller ID, Wanderer rang.
He wasn't angry about getting up, but since he usually has a bad temper, he answered the phone and said, "What do you want to do with your father?"
You Ziming was in a hurry, "Xiao Meng is lost! His mother called me just now, saying that he hasn't come home until now, but it was only after eight o'clock when he left school!"
Shang Qing woke up all of a sudden, looked at the time, it was already twelve o'clock, and immediately said: "Wait for me."
He rushed to the commercial street next to the school. You Ziming was comforting a round-faced aunt who looked like Meng Huai's mother, accompanied by a policewoman.
As soon as Aunt Meng saw Shang Qing, she rushed forward, "Are you Shang Qing? Meng Huai often said that you are very powerful and a master. Can you help me figure out where Meng Huai is?"
The policewoman next to her hurriedly helped her up, angry and funny, "Sister, I told you all, my colleagues are checking the surveillance, and there will be news soon, superstition is not advisable!"
She glanced at Shang Qing, and knew in her heart that if the boys were joking, this eldest sister would take it seriously, let alone such a young master, even among the liars she caught pretending to be a master, there were very few such young ones.
You Ziming was also anxious, "How about it, Shang Qing, can you find Xiao Meng?"
Shang Qing didn't speak, just took out the divination plate.
The Ultraman on the dial is still funny, but no one cares about it now.The pointer rotates slowly, pointing in one direction.
Shang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "This way." He said and chased after him first.
Aunt Meng and You Ziming quickly followed.
The female policeman yelled a few times behind but didn't stop, so she had no choice but to follow. It was so late, so nothing happened to the two students and one woman.And she was also puzzled, the surveillance on this street is perfect, why it has been so long, and the colleagues haven't watched the surveillance video yet?
Shang Qing followed the compass all the way through the commercial street, crossed the snack street, and finally came to a garbage disposal place.Now this time is just when the snack street has just calmed down, and the garbage that has been accumulated for a day is piled up here, and the smell is not very good.
Shang Qing looked around, "It's right here, looking for someone!"
You Ziming didn't even have any doubts at all, and immediately took a step forward, turning over the stinking garbage.
Aunt Meng hesitated for a moment, then followed suit.
The policewoman sighed, "Sister, wait a little longer, I'll help you look through."
Shang Qing didn't care about others, he could feel a very faint yin energy, and it was precisely because it was too weak that it was difficult to find the source.Thinking of this, he simply burned a tracing talisman.
The smell of the burning talisman mixed with the stench of garbage made the air even more nauseating. Shang Qing followed the faint trajectory of the tracing talisman and opened a broken plastic basin, paused, "Here it is!"
"Little Meng!"
"Huaihuai!"
Several people rushed forward at the same time, only to see Meng Huai huddled under the basin, his body covered with rubbish, his eyes blank, staring straight ahead, muttering, "Malan Huai 21, [-], [-], [-] Four two five seven..."
Aunt Meng couldn't do it all of a sudden, she cried loudly, "Huaihuai, what's wrong with you! Look at mom, Huaihua..."
Shang Qing looked as usual, "Don't be nervous, he is fascinated, it's not serious." He took out a talisman from his pocket, stuck it on the little fat man's forehead, and shouted loudly, "He is sober! Huai, why don't you come back to your senses quickly?"
A white light flashed, Meng Huai was shocked, his eyes recovered, and he saw Shang Qing at a glance.Before he could react to anything else, he threw himself on Shang Qing and murmured, "Shang Qing is too scary! I played rubber band jumping all night! One night! I exhausted all my exercise for half a year!"
Shang Qing looked at the sky and pushed him out with his knee, "Stay away, you stink too much."
Wanderer Ming, who wanted to step forward to give his good brother a hug, stepped back three steps and exaggeratedly pinched his nose, "Ah! It really stinks!"
Meng Huai smelled it himself, and his face turned livid in an instant!This smell is even more pure than him being bored at home during the dog days without taking a bath for three days and even eating three meals of stinky tofu!
Fortunately, others dislike him, his mother probably won't, Meng Huai looked up pitifully, "My dear mother..."
Aunt Meng took a step back subconsciously, "Uh..."
Meng Huai: ...
Several people laughed at the same time. After laughing, Meng Huai was really afraid for a while when he told about what happened tonight.
After he took the little girl away, not only did he fail to find the police uncle, but he was also taken on a dark path.
Later, he lost his mind, and in a daze, he only remembered that there were several children pestering him to play games, and he played rubber band jumping with them all night...
Shang Qing said speechlessly: "You are also lucky, these little devils have no malicious intentions, they just want to play with you. They don't know where they are now, I will come back in a few days, if I can meet them Send it to be reincarnated."
The little fat man clenched his fists, "Send them to reincarnation! Let them do math problems every day in their next life! What kind of rubber bands are they playing!"
A few people made a false alarm, they found everything they could talk about, so they hurriedly left this stinking garbage dump and went home to take a shower and sleep.
Only the female policewoman is messy in the wind, what kid, what talisman, what happened just now... Did she witness something miraculous?
At this moment, her walkie-talkie rang, and the colleague on the opposite side said solemnly: "We have checked all the surveillance cameras, and he disappeared when he entered the commercial street! There is no trace of him in all the surveillance cameras! I will report to the director immediately and send someone to the carpet immediately." type search..."
"Ah, so what..." The young lady's tone was weak, "The person has been found, although I don't know why, and he has already returned home... They entrusted me to close the case..."
colleague:? ? ?
The little fat man was quite frightened this time, he didn't dare to go home at night, and begged Shang Qing to stay in the dormitory together every day.It was only after Shang Qing drew a talisman on him that he felt at ease.
After a week of going step by step like this, on Saturday, it was the time that You Ziming and Shang Qing made an appointment to go to Yunhua Temple to attend the Fa Conference.
The two set off in the same car.It's a pity that Shang Qing didn't count it in advance, otherwise he would know that something big will happen during this trip to the Fa Conference.
