Qinhuai and I left Tianjin the next day. When we found Brother Chengqing, it was in the afternoon. Brother Chengqing came to pick me up and Qinhuai in a set of pajamas.

He no longer lives on the second floor of the small building where Master Li lived, because with Brother Chengqing's qualifications and skills, he is not qualified to receive such treatment. Although he inherited part of Master Li's work in accordance with Master Li's last wish,

But after all, he is just a young junior in that special department.

He didn't like living in part of the house allocated to him, so he simply used the money to buy a small courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing to live in. Although it was a suburb, there were many people, so he just came out in his pajamas. Qinhuai and I

Still quite surprised.

Brother Chengqing ignored our expressions, yawned and said, "Wearing this will help me sleep, so don't make a fuss."

When Brother Chengqing said that, I don't know what Qinhuai thinks, but I feel a little sad, which can be regarded as a price.

A pot of tea and a room full of sunshine.

The three of us sat on the sofa and talked. Brother Chengqing didn't dare to drink tea. He took a glass of boiled water and took a sip and said to us: "It is said to be a circle, but it is actually divided into many parts. This is what I do in the department."

From what I heard vaguely, you still need to get in touch with the actual situation. But no matter what, Chengyi, we can only be us, and we can only be people of the lineage of old Master Li."

I know what Brother Chengqing is worried about, or as Master Liu told me, there are many people in the circle who are reckless. Brother Chengqing may have heard of some of them. He is reminding me not to accept the consequences.

had an impact.

I nodded and said, "Brother Chengqing, we have all grown up with Master. I think it is difficult to change our character, so don't worry."

"I don't feel at ease. I always feel that you have become a lot more indifferent." Brother Chengqing said lightly.

"Oh, I'm not indifferent, I'm a person who can't even save myself." I said it very seriously.

"Don't blame Uncle Jiang too much. No matter how much you blame him, it won't be worth the love you have for him. Instead of doing this, why torture yourself?" Brother Chengqing obviously understands me very well, or maybe only those of our lineage can understand it.

Come to a certain mood.

My heart ached, but I didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. I just said: "Brother Chengqing, please talk about the circle."

Brother Chengqing sighed, put down the water glass, and then said: "This circle is generally composed of people who are different from ordinary people. Well, to put it simply, they are Taoist priests, monks, and even some people who have real abilities.

It’s made up of people from the West and some wealthy people.”

"Rich people?" I frowned, a little confused. Why are there rich people in this kind of metaphysics circle? Just like Westerners, I can understand it. After all, the West also has its own metaphysics, um, or theology.

.

"Yes, rich people! You can think of them as a group of people in need. By accident, they find people who are really capable, and then they enter the circle. Then the rich people also have their own connections and will tell some friends

Well. That's it, there are some rich people in the circle. But they can't get in touch with the core of the circle. Their existence is, in a larger sense, like customers." Brother Chengqing patiently explained to me.

I understood this statement immediately, and then asked: "Is the circle that simple?"

"Obviously not. In fact, this is just the composition of a large circle. There are many small circles in this big circle. To put it simply, people who belong to national departments are considered a small circle. This circle is on the edge of the entire circle, because behind the scenes,

There is a country, so under normal circumstances, there will not be much intersection with other small circles. Several other circles

, some are composed of high-level members of the orthodox big lineage, some are scattered people from small lines, and some are somehow inherited and have some abilities of their own. But in any case, the threshold of this circle is very high, and people who know ordinary skills

, is absolutely unreachable, and the people who come into contact have at least one or two unique skills. "Besides," at this point, Brother Chengqing was silent and paused.

"What else?" I asked curiously.

"In addition, there has always been a theory that I cannot verify, which is the real core of this circle. I heard that they are some real masters who maintain a certain order, just like what you once heard my master say.

, it is one of the rules that people in the real circle cannot touch each other's family members. It seems that people or forces who really have some abilities have certain records, just like Heiyan Miao

The village is so arrogant, they don't dare to touch your family members. They don't dare to touch ordinary people in a big way. They can only use some means to get some ordinary people to enter the animal village. Without this restriction, do you think that with the power of the Black Rock Miao Village?

Will they not act recklessly? Maybe they know that the country will eventually deal with them, so the people in the inner circle should turn a blind eye or close their eyes." Brother Chengqing said this.

This shocked me so much, it was like I always thought I was free, but suddenly I learned that there is a pair of eyes watching you behind the scenes, making many rules that you don't know, and silently restraining you, as long as you exceed the rules

scope, maybe you won’t exist.

"What kind of people are they? What are the rules? I mean specific." I asked with a frown.

"I don't know what kind of group of people they are. Chengyi, you also understand that our lineage does not belong to the so-called circle at all. I have been in contact with some because I have been in the department, but the department itself is a fringe circle.

And I am a marginalized person in a marginalized circle. How much do you think I know specifically? There is just a vague saying that those people are a group of old monsters. As for the rules, I don’t know, maybe they are not the core.

No one in the circle knows about it. I only know that there may be intersections and disputes with ordinary people, but if it really causes anger and resentment, it is hard to say. If not, how do you think it can be so peaceful?

Isn’t it? Not every cultivator has a right heart. If you think you have to use your skills as an insider to cause trouble, it is no exaggeration to say that you can definitely kill dozens of people without any noise." Cheng.

Brother Qing said slowly.

I nodded, feeling a little complicated. I always felt that what Brother Chengqing said was just like his own judgment. He only knew some superficial things. If it was too specific, he really didn't know much.

Maybe he doesn't know as much as Xiao Chengqian!

But I didn't have the intention to ask Xiao Chengqian. I thought that I was just going to a real ghost market. I would inevitably come into contact with some people in the circle, but I didn't want to go deep into the circle. It would be useless to know too much.

And based on the education our masters gave us since childhood, even if there were no so-called rules, we probably wouldn't do anything.

Hasn’t the fate of our lineage always been limited to just two words? - Kunlun!

——————————————Dividing line——————————————

I spent a few days with Brother Chengqing in Qinhuai in Beijing, and also went to see Sister-in-law Jingyi. Her and Brother Sheng’s child has grown up in a blink of an eye, and is in the third grade of elementary school. The years are so silent.

A lot of things have been submerged, and everything has changed in a blink of an eye.

When sister-in-law Jingyi sent me to the airport, she said with emotion: "Sometimes when I think about it, it's like we were in a deserted village last night. You were chatting with him, and I was smiling and listening. But the distance last night was really far away.

."

After returning to my place, I immediately contacted Brother Chengxin, and we agreed to meet in Tianjin on the 5th of next month.

I don’t know what the ghost market looks like specifically, but since it is called a market, it is inevitably linked to trading. I have a strong urge to trade, and I hope to get some clues in the ghost market, even though Master Liu told me that it is impossible.

I can't afford that price, but I just want to try.

For the first time, I thought about using the things Master left me. Thinking about it, I went back home, because the things Master left me were basically stored in my hometown. Except for a few things, I

I didn't take much with me.

When I go home, my parents will inevitably talk about getting married and having children. Now they can see me for a few days every two months, and they don't miss me so much, so they naturally spend more time scolding me.

I didn't dare to talk back, so I dealt with it perfunctorily and went to find a few things that I thought were suitable and brought them with me.

When I went back, my mother muttered to me: "Ruxue is a good girl, but that's what happened to you. Can't you just live a good life?"
