Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 27
There are always crowds of people in the study room on Monday.

"Jiang Shan, I always think there is something wrong with that old man. How do you think he knows my jade pendant is called Candle Dragon Sword? Also, since he knows Lu Dongbin's cave, why doesn't he come to the world?"

Jiang Shan said impatiently: "I said you, you, what do you care about him?" Jiang Shan started putting on makeup there since she entered the study room, and she didn't know she had any important appointments.

"Stop drawing, you see that your eyes are already big, and if you draw them bigger, you will almost become an alien. What's the matter, are you going on a date with an alien?" After listening to what I said, she was indifferent Glanced at me, then wiped the shadows again.

After finishing the painting, she stared at me and said, "You don't care." After finishing speaking, she closed the box of eyeshadow and stood up to leave. I stopped her from asking her previous questions.

"Hey, are you annoying? You have memorized all the words? Hurry up and get out of the way, I have something to do!" Pushing my hand away, I walked out.

A voice came from beside me and said: "Brother, women are like this, don't hang yourself on a tree, change a few more trees." A little brother next to me was still there to persuade me. I wanted to explain, but I don't know how to say it.

It is true that the relationship between us has changed, and it is no longer like ordinary friends at the beginning.Someone once said that there is no pure friendship between men and women, and all comedy and tragic love stories start with ambiguity.Maybe, Jiang Shan has already realized it, but I am still foolishly at a loss.

Forget it, hurry up and memorize the vocabulary, there is one month before the fourth and sixth grades and the professional certificate.There are only a few useful certificates in a person's life. I am not as powerful as others, and I am not a rich second generation.If I can't even meet the most basic conditions, I will really go to the flyover in the future.

There hasn't been any supernatural things happening recently, and I occasionally go to Zhang Feng's to learn Taoism and help sell goods, and basically stay in the dormitory and surf the Internet.

Zhang Ling is about to start preparing for the doctor's license exam, and she doesn't have much time to go to her brother's place, and we haven't seen each other for a long time.Occasionally I'd text her a joke or something, but I'd get mostly closed replies.

But I can often see Jiang Shan and Wang Dan going to the cafeteria, and I don't know what's going on. Every time I see her, no one speaks.It was as if he had become a stranger overnight.But when we think about it carefully, we have nothing in ourselves, and we don't need to bother to please.

The exam was over, and Zhou Peng was the only one in the dormitory who hadn't passed CET [-] or CET [-], and had to make up the exam.In the evening, everyone plans to have a drink, one is to celebrate me and Sun Hao getting the certificate, and the other is to pay tribute to Zhao Bo.

When I came back from below, I didn't mention Zhao Bo's matter.That night, I didn't receive a call from Sun Hao. It was then that Sun Hao learned the truth from the counselor and planned to tell me.

He also asked me where I was, and I lied to him that I went on a date with Jiang Shan.He asked me why I didn't call Jiang Shan, and I said we broke up again.This buddy comforted me while sighing, making me dumbfounded.

Everyone didn't drink much at night, and after dinner, no one clamored to go to the Internet cafe all night.One by one, they walked to the dormitory dejectedly, without the enthusiasm they had when they entered school.But the road has to go on, and life has to go on.I comforted everyone with my mouth, but actually I wanted to find peace of mind for myself, because I was the only one who saw Zhao Bo after his death.

In fact, I should have figured it out from the beginning. Since Zhao Bo said that he saw his dead grandfather, I should have thought that, except for special circumstances, those who see dirty things are my bad luck.

In order not to have such a situation in the future, I started to frantically charge myself on the Internet, and Zhang Feng was also helping me. I already knew a lot about the knowledge involved in Taoism.But without a great god like Jiang Shan around, I always feel like I am fighting alone.

I also tried to start calling my dad. I basically had nothing to say before, but in order to know what kind of person the uncle is, I had to force myself.Dad is not very good at communication, and the uncle has been away from home for a long time, so he doesn't have much impression.On the contrary, he has a lot to say to the second master.

When I think of my second master, it was when I was very young. In my dim memory, I only remember that he had tattoos and liked to drink.In the end, he died of cerebral hemorrhage caused by drinking.My father told me that my second uncle was very powerful when he was in the production team. He would get into fights and so on, and he would never fall behind.

Once, a young educated youth molested a big girl in the team, and the second master happened to see it.He chased him for two miles with a kitchen knife, and finally the little educated youth knelt down and begged the second master, that's all.

If it wasn't too late, I really don't know when my father will talk about going.I hastily hung up on my father's phone, and my mind became even more confused while lying on the bed. Does this cult have anything to do with my uncle?The old man in the support pavilion, a lot of problems are about to mess up my life.I don't know when I became so sentimental.

The first semester of my sophomore year ended in such a boring day, but I miss the adventurous days before.I squatted in the dormitory and packed my luggage, and found the Lei Qilin talisman I had drawn with a tissue from under the bed, feeling a burst of emotion in my heart.

"If only I could use it again?" I said to myself, then dropped the idea.

After Zhou Peng packed his luggage, he said to me, "Thirteen, why don't you just go home after the holiday?"

"Aren't you going home to your house?" I said weakly, and slowly stuffed the computer into my bag.

"Okay, isn't your home in SYS? We are not far away. Come to my house and stay for two days. Let me introduce you to some girls or something?" .So I said that I would go to the train station to refund the ticket and buy a JMS ticket.

"To buy a train ticket now, it must be a standing ticket. How about we take a bus? It's a bit expensive. I'll buy it for you. How about it?" Zhou Peng is the most particular about money here. Never mean.I only heard from him that his father used to raise a big car, but now he seems to have set up some kind of logistics company.

I quickly took his words and said: "How much money can the ticket have, there is no need, it is not easy for your father to earn money."

"Fuck, why are you so inked?" Zhou Peng didn't wait for me to refute, he went out and made a call on his mobile phone, as if there was a friend of his over there or something.A few minutes later, I came back and told me that it was done. The train departed at 4 pm and the journey took more than 6 hours.He also said that he told Yan Zha now that he would arrive there in less than 6 hours.

The drivers in the Northeast drive very aggressively. Before, they took a taxi from off-road to go back to school several times, and almost crashed the car several times, but they seemed to be fine, and I was so scared that I almost pulled my pants.Since then, I have said in my heart that no matter what car I take in the Northeast, I must wear a seat belt.

I thought Zhou Peng had booked a ticket for a bus, but only after arriving did he realize that it was a Mercedes-Benz Iveco.He said that the tickets for the past two days are fully booked, and this is still an extra car.

Forget it, just curl your legs. It can't be blamed on the faulty design of other cars, it can only be blamed for being tall.After putting away the luggage, Zhou Peng lit a cigarette for me.I didn't smoke at first, but after going to the old teaching building for the second time, I gradually became an unscrupulous smoker.

I didn't smoke much at first, but after a long time, I couldn't control it.This period of time has been really depressing, and there are a lot of worrying things while preparing for the defense.But now, what I smoke is no longer cigarettes, but loneliness.

"What fun places are there in your house?" I asked Zhou Peng standing by the car.

He looked at the sky and said: "Well, I thought about it, and it seems that there is nothing interesting. By the way, I stayed at my house for two days, and my father just came back from BJ. I asked him to drive us to Heixiazi Island Walking around, how do you look?"

"Heixiazi Island? Where is it? Why haven't I heard of it? Are there really Heixiazi?"

"I said you, you, as a HLJ person, you don't even know Heixiazi Island, that's fine, it's useless." After listening to Zhou Peng's words, I realized that I really thought I was not a serious Northeast person. I know very little about my own family.

Seeing me with a blank face, he smiled and said, "Heixiazi Island is in Fuyuan, and you will know when the time comes. I don't know how many times I have been there, and now half of the island belongs to Lao Maozi." Hearing what he said, I felt really uncomfortable. I have been bullied by foreigners for 5000 years in Greater China.You cut a piece, I cut a piece.

"I heard that when Maozi took over, the tombs of the Jurchen tribe were dug up." Zhou Peng was talking non-stop. I didn't know he had such a good memory.

The car finally started. After waiting for almost half an hour, it really didn't start until it was full.

Because of Zhou Peng's size, he sat in front of me, occupying two seats by himself.The last person to get on the bus was a little girl, probably about the same age as Wang Jingjing.Wearing a sportswear, with a ball head, melon-shaped face and cherry mouth, I noticed her because of her sling eyes, scientifically known as Danfengyan.

Seeing that there was another seat next to me, I walked straight over.

"Is there anyone here?"

"No." I subconsciously retracted my legs as far as possible.

"It's okay, let's put it here, who made you tall? Hehe." Her smile was quite subtle, and I couldn't help being stunned when I saw it.At this time, I felt the top of my head loosen, and my hair fell loose.

It turned out that the rubber band was broken. This is the rubber band Jiang Shan gave me, and it just broke.I stroked my hair with one hand, and held the rubber band in the other in a daze.

"Here, I have a rubber band." It was the little girl beside her who spoke, and in the hand she stretched out, there was a rubber band with a cute little monkey's head on it.I took the rubber band with embarrassment and thanked me.

"My name is Thirteen." I straightened my hair and tied it up.

"Jin Xue." She said with a smile.Girls who love to laugh will not have bad luck.

"Your surname is Jin? From the Xian nationality?"

"No, I'm Manchu." She said.

Good guy, this is still a relative of the emperor, the person sitting next to me may be the same as the ancestor.It's also not good to ask more questions, lest it seems like checking the household registration.I had a drink with Sun Hao last night, and now my head is still dazed, and I fell asleep after leaning against the window for a while.

I don't know how long I slept, but I was awakened by the loud noise from the car.

Rubbing his eyes, he saw Jin Xue looking anxiously ahead, and Zhou Peng also stood up and looked around.

"What's wrong? Where are you now?" I pushed Zhou Peng.

"Just after Yilan, I seem to have bumped into something, I don't know, let's go down and have a look?" Zhou Peng walked out after speaking.I was still a little confused. When I stood up, I completely forgot the position of the roof, and I hit it right away.

"Haha, what's wrong? Did you fall asleep?" Jin Xue said with a smile.I shook my head shyly and went on to smoke a cigarette to refresh myself.As soon as Jin Xue heard that I was going down, she also stood up and walked down.

I asked Zhou Peng for a cigarette, and while lighting it, I turned on the phone to see if I missed anyone's call.As a result, there was nothing but a text message from China Mobile that Yilan welcomes you.

Walking towards the front of the car, I saw the driver busy in the open hood, and Zhou Peng was talking nonsense to him there.Turning around, she saw Jin Xue was sitting on the guardrail beside the road, looking into the distance.

"What are you looking at?" I walked over and said softly.

"Look, there are so many stars here, you can't see them in Harbin." She pointed to the sky.Indeed, Harbin is characterized by smog.

Since I left home, I don't seem to have looked at the starry sky carefully.I don't even care if it's cloudy or sunny outside, windy or rainy.I am busy in my own world every day, but in the end I find that I have gained more than I lost. This may be the reason why Jiang Shan stays away from me.

I have always thought that I am giving others positive energy, but in fact I just don't want to stay in the negative energy by myself.

"Yeah, the air might be better when we get to JMS." I murmured to myself and turned off the one in my hand.

"You said, what are we trying to do, go to school and work, hang out in the city?" Jin Xue didn't look at me, but kept looking up at the stars.

I don't know how to answer her, maybe because I don't want to disappoint my family's expectations.Those who have never been here are looking forward to life here, and those who have been here find that everything is just passing by.

After half an hour, Zhou Peng came over and said, "Okay, it's fixed, let's get in the car." I helped Jin Xue get off the handrail, and the three of them got into the car.

"I think there's something wrong with the driver," Zhou Peng said to me after getting in the car, "He doesn't respond to my conversations with him, he's a little absent-minded, and keeps looking around. Maybe, something happened."

"Did you see something hit?" I said.

"No, there is no trace at all."

"Is it possible to run into a ghost?" As soon as Jin Xue said this, the people around cast strange glances.

After a while the car started and continued to drive forward.There was applause in the car, although I didn't understand why they applauded, but they still applauded along with everyone.

"Breaking ghosts?" I lowered my voice and said to Jin Xue.

"Yes, I heard from my classmate that there used to be a taxi driver in Jiaxi who drove into something at night. He thought he had hit someone, so he got out of the car to check. But he didn't see anything. , and then went crazy the next day, talking nonsense about being too evil." I heard what Jin Xue said, and I always felt that the last sentence "too evil" sounded so familiar?
"That's right, the old driver in my dad's company also said that he had encountered such a thing before, but it wasn't that exaggerated. It was just a serious illness. Later, the driver master felt that it was evil, so he started to burn incense and worship Buddha, and he didn't go out at night. What's the matter?" Zhou Peng added fuel to the side.

I said to myself, people who can encounter this kind of thing are either unlucky or have done something bad.I'm not sure who the driver of this car is, but as a serious Taoist disciple, I can't ignore death.

As the saying goes, good and evil will eventually be rewarded in the end, and only fight for early and late.

Maybe it's because I'm used to the days of catching ghosts and subduing demons. Every time I go out, I have to bring some yellow paper with me.I took a look at Jin Xue's eyebrows, they were reddish in color.So I asked her if she had any eyebrow pencil to borrow from me. She frowned, obviously curious about what I wanted the eyebrow pencil for, but she still rummaged through it in her bag.

"Do you want to draw your eyebrows? Your eyebrows are beautiful, thin and long." She handed me the pen and asked doubtfully.

I smiled politely and started to get lucky. When I felt the warmth in my body, I started to draw the Sanqing symbol on the paper.With a few strokes of paint, a life-saving talisman is drawn in one go.

This Yannei True Talisman does not need to be actively activated. As long as it is worn well, it can show different effects according to the caster's Taoism. The deeper the Taoism, the stronger the power of the Talisman.

I don't know how much Taoism I have, I only know that I ate a two-tailed fox inner alchemy.I should have more than 200 years of Taoism, but it's a pity that I can't fully utilize this strength.

"Do you know how to draw talismans? I can't tell you are young, but you know how to do this?" Jin Xue seemed a little surprised.

"What will happen?" Zhou Peng turned around and asked.

"Nothing, let's talk about movies." I quickly changed the subject. I didn't want Zhou Peng to know my other identity, for fear of causing him some trouble.
