Zhou Xin left early the next morning, and someone from the fifth group of the national brand came to pick her up. otbnkotgt I hid behind Li Yong and used his tall body to cover my small figure.
I lowered my head and covered my face with my hands, feeling panicked as if someone had pounded me the mouth.
This parting, maybe for several years, I lowered my head, my fingers pinched my face tightly, and my skin ached slightly.
"If you want to cry, cry.
If a person's youth has not even shed tears, it is a very sad thing. ” Li Shichang gently put his hand on my head, and when this sentence reached my ears, I couldn't hold back the tears anymore.
It ran down my fingers, and the shrugging shoulders represented my sadness.
In ninety-five years, on that bright morning, I saw Zhou Xin away, but it was several years before I said goodbye In the afternoon, I saw Duan Fei and the others decorating the attic and courtyard in full swing, and brought the desk and incense burner.
They also covered with yellow charms, and even took out yellow uniforms that I hadn't seen before.
But no one told me why I was arranged I asked suspiciously, "Seniors, what are you doing here, why are all the incense burners laid out?"
But my question went unanswered.
The four strange uncles were still busy with themselves, until it was nearly evening, and the courtyard was completely furnished, with a red carpet spread from the hall of the attic to the door, and all the furniture in the hall of the attic was cleaned.
The desk was covered with a tablecloth embroidered with Tai Chi circles, a copper incense burner was solemnly placed in the center of the table, the statues of Sanqing had been laid out and placed in front of the desk, yellow rune paper hung on the shelves on both sides of the hall, and a futon was placed on the ground.
The more I looked at it, the more strange it became, and it was only then that Li Shichang walked up to me and said, "Today is the ceremony for you to join the fifth group of national brands." ” I was stunned, before today, I always thought that joining the fifth group of the national brand was to write a report, and after submitting it to the top for consideration, it would be over, but I never expected such a solemn ceremony.
"Today, all the bigwigs in Shanghai's supernatural circle will come, don't look at our small place, don't look at our façade is not prosperous.
But the reputation of a few of us is still quite heavy in the rivers and lakes. ” Li Yong wiped the table and chairs and said with a smile at me.
"After today, we want the whole world to know that you Wanlin is the fifth group of our national brand, and the juniors of our four belts, which is greater than your deterrent effect on the top of Xuyu Mountain, with the four of us covered, and the immortal vein Yu Hongxuan's gambling contract in you, you can sit back and relax for several years, at least let you live a peaceful life for several years."
Wang Guanquan took out a wine jug and a number of wine glasses, and said as he placed them.
"Don't look at our four old guys who are so fierce to you on weekdays, we know that you are a hard-working child, since you have become our person from today onwards, then let the whole world know that hitting you is hitting us four old guys in the face.
You, not only have a Sister Xin, but also our four uncles. ” Duan Fei unexpectedly put on a yellow robe today, which looked weird, but it was very formal.
And what he said made my heart warm.
I always thought that these four strange uncles protected me because of Zhou Xin and Xu Fo, and taught me just because I was afraid that Xu Buddha would blame me.
However, although they did not have too many flowery words today, they touched my heart When the sun began to set, all kinds of cars began to appear at the entrance of the alley, and many people walked in from the car.
"Elder Qi of Wuhua Gate, come here, please come inside."
"Sect Master Zhang of the Jianyun Sect is here, and I invite you to use tea inside."
"Elder of Maoshan Shanghai Branch, Dong Dacheng is here, Elder Dong is here, Elder Dong is invited."
Li Shichang kept reporting the names of either the elders or the door masters, I looked down through the attic, and turned around to see a set of white robes on the bed, Duan Fei said, newcomers should wear white shirts when they enter, and after entering the door, he will personally wrap a black scarf around me, representing the identity, and at the same time will send me the identity token of the fifth group of national brands.
And I also understand that in the name of the fifth group of national brands, the old rivers and lakes in these supernatural circles will not come, and the reason why so many people are here today is all because of the face of these four uncles.
For the sake of me as a kid, how much face they have lost to invite so many people.
Within a moment or three, when the sunset had become like blood, the attic was already full of people, and they were all figures with heads and faces, their entourage and vehicles parked the road at the entrance of the alley, and Zhou Changfa specially invited a team of traffic police to come over to maintain traffic.
I even saw that many journalists rushed to hear the news, but they couldn't enter this alley.
By seven o'clock in the evening, when the sun had completely set, the moon hung in the sky, torches were lit in the courtyard of the attic, the lights were turned on, and everyone sat on both sides of the courtyard and the hall.
The first person on the left is Dong Dacheng, he and Li Yong are old acquaintances, the two were brothers who died back then, and there is no dispute that he sits in this seat as the elder of the Maoshan Branch.
And the first place on the right is Lin Dongxuan, that is, Lin Yali's father, he came by himself, Duan Fei said that they didn't expect to be able to invite this captain of the Tongtian Society's Heavenly Guards, but when he came, he said to Duan Fei that it was the order of the Great Elder of the Tongtian Society, and he himself was surprised.
A gong sounded, and it was a signal that I was ready to come downstairs.
At this time, I was standing in the bathroom, facing myself in the mirror, just a child, with a strange ghost gourd pinned to my waist, and the white robe on my body was a little loose, my face was very white, and my appearance should be quite delicate, but I looked a little haggard, and my eyes were a little red, because I had been crying when I said goodbye to Zhou Xin in the morning.
Two gongs sounded, and when the third sounded, I was going to walk down from the attic, smile, face these seniors I didn't know, and salute with my fists I smiled reluctantly in front of the mirror, and said to myself stupidly: "Wanlin, the road in the future is not easy to walk, you must be strong Don't look at today's scenery, this is not yours, but the uncles gave it to you."
One day in the future, I want to have my own scenery, I want to have my own face" Three gongs sounded, I opened the bathroom door, slowly walked out, the moment the bathroom light was turned off, the moment I walked out of the bathroom, my face was already changed to a smile, like a mask on my face.
The white robe swayed slightly with the night breeze, and I walked down the attic step by step, carrying the strange rusty sword on my back and the ghost-sealing gourd pinned to my waist.
I heard Li Shichang shouting: "Our protagonist today, Wan Lin, the descendant of the fifth group of the national brand, is here."
I came out of the darkness, the firelight reflected on my face, and everyone looked at me, what they saw was not the sloppy child who had been locked up in a dark warehouse for a month, nor the poor child who killed the second uncle because of innocence, nor the child who fought desperately in the underground kingdom of Loulan on the top of Xuyu Mountain.
They know that I am only seven years old, but they don't know that my mind is no longer seven years old, men grow up because of experience, and my experience in just half a year is enough to write countless novels and make countless movies.
I stood in the courtyard, raised my hand and clasped my fists and saluted: "Seniors, junior Wan Lin is here to salute you."
Bending deeply, humble as a well-behaved student, Duan Fei walked up to me, patted me on the back, and then handed me three sticks of incense, and said: "Incense to Sanqing, kowtow, and then I will give you the token of the fifth group of our national brand, and you will be regarded as entering the door of the fifth group of our national brand." ” I nodded, turned my head after taking the incense, facing the image of Sanqing, the supreme of Taoism, I looked at the image of the Yuan Shi Tianzun in the middle, and was about to kneel down at the moment, but I didn't expect that my knees didn't obey the call, I couldn't kneel, and the whole person froze on the spot:
