That day, Zhuo Yuguang went to the town as usual to solicit tourist business. Until noon, there wasnt a single customer. Feeling depressed, he hurried back home for lunch and found two girls standing at his door. Yuguang thought they were tourists who had come to complain, so he was overjoyed and quickly welcomed them, asking: "Are you two ladies here to stay? Our store is clean and affordable, the environment is also good, why dont you go in and take a look?"
The two girls didnt answer, they just smiled and nodded. Although Zhuo Yugu was an older man, he took a closer look and was suddenly amazed by the heavenly beauty of these twin sisters, who looked exactly alike. Their small faces were exquisitely delicate, so he quickly opened the courtyard door and led the way in front of them.
The girl took out a stack of banknotes and put them on the table, which seemed to be less than 1,000 yuan, but made Zhuo Yuguai very happy. He quickly took the key and arranged for the two of them to enter the guest room. Then he happily went to the town to buy a lot of vegetables, fruits, five-spice cooked food, and prepared a table of dishes.
The two girls only asked him to make some plain porridge, and specifically instructed that it would be fine to send it into the room. Strange as it was, but since they were guests, they were generous with their money, so he did as he was told. Facing a table of good dishes, counting the banknotes in his hand, Zhuo Yugu could not help but hum a little tune, feeling very happy for a while, and poured himself a few cups of wine, drinking with relish.
The whole afternoon, the two girls did not come out of their room. Since they were young women, he didnt want to disturb them either. At dinner time, he went over again to knock on the door and call them to eat. Half a day passed without any response. Just as he was about to leave, the door opened.
Yu Guixin thought that they must have played all day and fell asleep in the afternoon, looking at that cold face, he said unnaturally: "Im here to call you two for dinner, I dont know if youve rested well?"
"Boss is being polite, come in and sit for a while." Its a mans voice!
It was clearly two women who went in, and I had been at home all afternoon without seeing any man coming over. How could there be a man now? But thinking about it, what era is this? And Im running an inn, what kind of thing havent I seen before? Thinking that maybe I shouldnt disturb the guests good deed, so I turned my head and prepared to leave.
Before he could take a step, a chill ran down his neck. He looked down to see a gleaming long knife pressed against his throat, scaring him so much that his legs went weak. Was someone trying to rob him?
Slowly turning his head, he found that the owner of this knife was the woman who had just watched the door. At this moment, Zhuo Yugus old face looked as ugly as possible.
The man in the room said again: "Chiyoda, put away the rosary beads and be polite to Mr. Zhuo, invite him in!"
The woman named Chiyoda sheathed the long sword with a "click" into its red scabbard. Takashi Taka glanced at it surreptitiously, and the sword looked just like the samurai swords used by Japanese warriors in anti-war movies on TV. A string of prayer beads was even wrapped around the hilt. Chiyoda made a beckoning gesture with her hand, and he could only carefully push open the half-closed door and slip inside.
In the room, an old rattan chair was originally placed. At this moment, a middle-aged man is sitting on it with his eyes closed, and behind him, a woman is massaging his shoulders. Next to her, a long black scabbard stands upright in the corner of the wall.
After going in, the man didnt say a word either, just enjoying the womans massage, occasionally shaking his neck. Zhuo Yuguang nervously lifted his head to take a look and was scared half to death again - there was a scar on the mans face!
"Half a beat later, the man spoke up: Qian Xues swordsmanship has improved again, and is now on par with your sister. Now she can finally wield that Ghostly Blade."
The woman behind him also heard the praise, but she didnt show any surprise, still with a cold face. The man slightly waved his hand, and the girl named Qianxue immediately retreated to one side. The two sisters stood together, bowed to the man in the middle, then backed out of the room with small steps, and quietly closed the door. Now only Zhuo Yuguang and the other two were left.
The man didnt speak, and Zhuo Yuguang naturally didnt dare to open his mouth either. He just hoped that these people who would pull out their knives at the slightest movement would leave his inn as soon as possible. The two of them remained silent.
The man finally opened his eyes, took a close look at the old man and said: "Mr. Zhuo, its been decades, youre still doing well."
Zhuo Yuguang was shocked and asked in a daze, "Several decades?..." He weakly asked: "Sir, do you know me?"
The man chuckled and stood up with the help of a rattan chair, walked to Zhuo Yuguangs face, took out something from his pocket, clenched it into a fist in front of him, and loosened his palm, dropping an object.
Zhuo Yuguang took a look and found a dragon-shaped jade pendant!
Yu Gui slowly took out a box wrapped in brocade from his own bosom, and trembled as he opened it. Inside lay another jade pendant that was identical to the one he had. Decades had passed, and the words spoken by that old man back then were now being fulfilled. The other jade pendant had finally appeared, and Yu Gui naturally understood that this was the person the old man had told him to wait for.
The man picked up the jade pendant in Zhuo Yus hand, gently stroked it with his hand, and put it together with another one into his own pocket. He said: "This jade pendant is well preserved by you, Mr. Zhuo. You are a trustworthy person. I believe that this cooperation will be more pleasant than the previous one with my grandfather!"
"Your grandfather?" asked Zhuo Yüguì?
The man turned his back and said, "It was my grandfather who gave you this dragon-shaped jade pendant. He was the master of the Japanese Moon family, Wàng Yuè Hé Gé. In his youth, he followed the army to China in search of something for a lifetime. Until he met you, there was only a little clue, but unfortunately, he suffered serious injuries and left the world shortly after returning home. His unfinished business will be completed by me."
It was indeed him. Zhuo Yuguang had thought that after all these years, the matter would have been forgotten, but he didnt expect that what was meant to come would still arrive. He asked: "So, what do you need me to do? Are you going to take us into the village again? That village is already deserted, everyone has been driven away by your grandfather..."
"Mr. Zhuo," the man interrupted him, "the things that happened back then, Im afraid youre also responsible for, if it wasnt for you, how would my grandfather have found that place?"
Zhuo Yuguang felt a twinge of guilt in his heart, lowered his head and stopped speaking.
The man continued: "You help me find someone who is well-versed in Chinese Taoism, whenever you find him, come and notify me, Ill be staying at the Furuong Residence at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain."
The man turned around and left after finishing speaking, leaving behind a stack of banknotes. As he was about to leave, he said: "My name is Wàng Yuè Yī Mù!"
Zhuo Yugu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the red mark on his neck in the mirror, took a deep breath, put away the thick stack of money and walked out the door.
Because this is the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, the Taoist incense is very prosperous. Its not easy to find a few Taoist priests, so I made up some excuses and spent some money. That night, I found many Taoist priests at home, and then ran to Furong House to invite Wangyue Yimu to come and take a look. Unexpectedly, he was severely scolded by him, and these Taoist priests were not good enough.
On the second day, he went to find some again and was rejected by Wangyue once more. For several days in a row, all the Taoist priests around were searched, but none of them could satisfy Wangyues expectations, and several times even provoked his great anger. Later, Wangyue simply moved next door to Zhuo Yigui, built a house, and stayed at home all year round without going out.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhuo Xiong also retired from the army and returned home. At the dinner table, Zhuo Yuguang had brought many Taoist priests to meet Wang Yue, but they were all rejected one by one. Even he himself lost patience and stopped looking, but Wang Yue was determined to find someone who met his requirements, until that night when Cha Wenbin and his group arrived.
Because he had been dealing with Taoist priests for years, Old Zhuo immediately recognized Cha Wenbins attire as that of a Taoist priest. He was just about to report this while buying wine when Wang Yue was already waiting for him at the door.
Wang Yue said only three words: "Its him!", then quickly returned to his own room.
At dinner time, continuing with the wine and Old Wangs words, Zhuo Yuguiguo deliberately brought up the matter of Qifeng Mountain, and they were indeed very interested. Just as his task was about to be completed, his son insisted on following him, although Zhuo Xiong was not his biological son, he was the only survivor of that village and was raised by him, so it was difficult for him to decide. But Wang Yue said that if this matter couldnt be done, they would both be silenced, but if it succeeded, not only would they get a large sum of money, but also a great fortune. Zhuo Yuguiguo was originally a greedy and timid person, and after being tempted with the carrot and stick, he agreed to do it.
