Chapter 124 Jun'er, you're getting more and more important now!
South City, Night Watch Division.
The aroma of tea filled the third-floor conference room, creating a somewhat subtle atmosphere.
Five people sat on either side of a long table.
The first person on the left is a middle-aged man with dark skin and a large frame. His name is Shi Yong, and he is the best of the contemporary lineage of corpse-driving in western Hunan.
Next to Shi Yong was an elderly man wearing round-framed glasses, Luo Yunshan, a feng shui master from Ganzhou, Jiangxi.
The first woman on the right is a woman who looks to be in her early fifties with a thin face. She is Lin Xiugu, the most famous bone collector in the coastal area of southern Fujian.
Sitting next to her was an old Taoist priest with gray hair but vigorous spirit. His Taoist name was Jingchen. He came from a branch of Maoshan Temple and had been studying Yin House Feng Shui for more than forty years.
The last person was a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion, Zhou Zheng, a successor of the Guanzhong Feng Shui School. He kept looking down at his outstretched palm, as if the veins of mountains and rivers were hidden on it.
These five people are from all over the country and rarely meet. Even if they have heard of each other, they are mostly just colleagues who look down on each other.
But at this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was surprisingly...harmonious.
There was even a hint of mutual appreciation between them.
no way.
Who asked them to do this?
It's Master Li from Qingfeng Temple in Luxian County!
It was General Qin, the head of the Great Xia Night Watchers headquarters, who personally ordered them to "do their utmost" and "not make the slightest mistake"!
It is an immortal deity who can summon nine heavenly thunderbolts with a single talisman and kill more than seventy extraordinary beings from foreign lands with a single Spring Festival couplet!
Faced with such an existence, their tendency to belittle their peers had long been swept away by immense fear and awe.
When five people are together, they can actually boost each other's courage, identify and fill in any gaps in their knowledge, and avoid making any mistakes under pressure that would be irreparable.
"Gentlemen," Luo Yunshan pushed up his glasses and broke the silence, "it is truly an opportunity for us to serve Master Li this time."
He paused, then said earnestly, "Master Li is a celestial being residing in this world, with extraordinary abilities. His affairs must not be handled with the slightest mistake."
"Old Luo is right," Shi Yong replied in a low voice. "The five of us getting together is a good opportunity to check each other's shortcomings and fill in the gaps, so that we don't overlook anything and ruin our own livelihoods."
The others nodded in agreement.
Lin Xiugu rubbed her rough hands together, her voice a little hoarse: "I've been in this line of work for over thirty years and I've never been this nervous before. I didn't sleep a wink last night and went through the ancestral book 'Essentials of Bone Collection' three more times."
Zhou Zheng looked up and chuckled, revealing a few yellow teeth: "Who says otherwise? I wiped the compass clean again and again, just in case I couldn't see it clearly."
Master Jingchen stroked his beard without speaking, but his eyes revealed a solemn expression.
Being able to do things for Master Li is an immense opportunity, but also an immense pressure.
If you do well, your position in the circle will be unshakeable, and if you can receive even a small benefit from Master Li's casual bestowal, you will enjoy it immensely.
And if it goes wrong... no one dares to imagine the consequences.
Just then, the conference room door was pushed open.
Liu Zhenguo walked in, followed by Chen Jianguo carrying tea and fruit platters.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Liu Zhenguo said with a warm smile.
Luo Yunshan quickly stood up: "Manager Liu, you're too kind."
The others also stood up, and their attitude was polite.
Although Liu Zhenguo was only a branch leader in the Night Watchmen and his cultivation level was not top-notch, he was closest to Qingfeng Temple, where Master Li practiced his cultivation, so his status was naturally special.
Everyone sat down again, and Liu Zhenguo smiled and gave some instructions.
As they were talking, hurried footsteps came from the corridor.
Jin Hao pushed open the door and entered, his forehead still covered in a fine layer of sweat.
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Chen, I'm sorry I'm late, I had a bit of a run-up on the way..."
He was taken aback when he entered the room and saw that there were seven people sitting in the conference room.
"Who are these people...?" Jin Hao asked Liu Zhenguo.
Liu Zhenguo nodded and stood up to introduce the two parties.
"This is Jin Hao, a good friend of Master Li. He accompanied Master Li throughout the entire process of relocating the grave."
"These five are Mr. Shi from Xiangxi, Mr. Luo from Jiangxi, Granny Lin from Southern Fujian, Mr. Zhou from Guanzhong, and Master Jingchen from the Maoshan Lower Temple."
Jin Hao quickly bowed to the group, saying, "Greetings, seniors! You must be tired from your journey!"
Shi Yong and the others dared not presume, and they all stood up to return the greeting, their polite attitude making Jin Hao feel somewhat flattered.
"Young friend Jin, you're too kind."
"I dare not accept such praise."
"Thank you for your trouble, young friend Jin."
Jin Hao was a little confused by the scene and looked to Liu Zhenguo for help.
Liu Zhenguo smiled at him, then said to everyone, "Now that everyone is here, let's set off. The car is ready."
"well."
Everyone quickly responded and followed Liu Zhenguo and Jin Hao outside.
As Jin Hao went downstairs, he secretly sent Li Jun a message:
"Brother Taoist, we've set off from the south of the city! The Night Watch has invited five experts, and they all seem to be quite skilled."
……
Qingfeng Temple.
Li Junzheng was squatting by the well drawing water.
The arowana in the tank next to him seemed to sense that he was going to change the water, and excitedly circled around in the tank, its silvery-white scales shimmering in the sunlight.
"Don't worry, I'll change it for you right away," Li Jun said with a smile.
At that moment, the phone vibrated twice.
He wiped his hands, took it out, and looked at it.
News about Jin Hao.
"Five masters?"
Li Jun was stunned.
What's going on with the night watchmen? It's just moving a grave, why did they hire five people?
He originally thought that at most one or two knowledgeable experts would come to give him some advice, but he didn't expect that a whole "team of experts" would come.
This is quite a grand affair.
Li Jun scratched his head and sent a message to Jin Hao.
"Okay, drive carefully."
Then he put away his phone, hurriedly returned to his room, and dragged a small metal box out from under his bed.
Upon opening the tin box, several stacks of bright red banknotes were found inside.
This was a habit Li Jun had developed in the past: whenever he had money, he would always withdraw some cash and put it away for emergencies.
Today he only prepared a thank-you red envelope with 800 yuan inside, just for good luck.
Five have arrived now, and we need to prepare for the others as well, since they are here to help our own people.
"Eight hundred for one, five of them would be four thousand..."
Li Jun muttered to himself as he began counting the money.
But when he counted to forty, he paused.
The number "four" sounds like "death" in Chinese, which is considered unlucky.
Especially when it comes to relocating graves, one must be more particular.
"Then let's make it a thousand for one bag."
Li Jun then counted out ten more bills, making a total of five thousand.
After putting the red envelope in his pocket, he left the room and went to the main hall to find his master.
The old Taoist priest was wiping the memorial tablet when Li Jun entered and asked, "Is the person arriving soon?"
"Not yet, but Jin Hao and the others have already set off from the South City." Li Jun said, "Master, the Night Watch has invited five experts over."
The old Taoist priest paused, then turned his head: "Five?"
"Yes." Li Jun briefly explained the situation.
After listening, the old Taoist priest remained silent for a moment, then sighed.
"Jun'er, you're getting more and more important now."
Li Jun said with a wry smile, "Master, I really didn't intend to make such a big fuss."
"I know." The old Taoist waved his hand. "Since you're here, treat us well and don't be impolite."
The master and apprentice tidied up the Taoist temple, boiled water, prepared tea, and then began to wait.
