Chapter 417 Really Similar
The news that the smuggling business was about to be liquidated quickly spread throughout Cuicheng.
The timid ones quickly thought of other ways to make money, but those who were bold and greedy for profit not only doubted the authenticity of the news, but also tried various ways to inquire about it.
For a time, there was panic throughout Cuicheng.
A week later, after various teams confirmed that the focus of the superiors was still on combating drugs, the boats that had originally stopped were once again entering and exiting the Qingjiang River in the dark.
Su Chen didn't know these.
During this period, Qian Mingfeng came over and gave him a red envelope, and announced that he wanted to change his career. He also listed some industries that he thought were more promising and asked Su Chen to help calculate the cost.
As for Chai Daqian, he has been in a bad mood in recent days, with some dark circles under his eyes. I heard that he had a conflict with some old friends. When he was setting up a stall, he would complain to Lao Liao from time to time: "These people really want money but not their lives. They are crazy!"
"You've made so much money and you don't know how to quit. If you get caught in the future, you deserve it!"
These words did not stir Su Chen at all.
He looked at the time again and confirmed that it was almost time. He entered the hardware store and took the ghost path to Gangcheng to pick up Lin Jingyu.
This time Lin Jingyu stayed there for quite a long time. When he came back, he talked to Su Chen about how to judge the acting skills of actors, how to judge the quality of scripts, how to build a crew, and even took out a stack of business cards.
"Once the script is complete, I'll invite them to come to the mainland to film. Then Wanqing and I can spend more time together."
Su Chen: "..."
Although I understood it, I wasn't interested.
He held onto the excited Lin Jingyu and said, "I have something to do tomorrow so I won't be here."
Lin Jingyu: “???”
"Is there something wrong at home? Do you need help?"
"No, I'm going to a wedding."
Chang Yu's wedding was held at Chunyang Palace, the ancestral land of Taoism.
Not many people were invited to watch the ceremony.
But that doesn't mean Taoist weddings are not solemn.
Chang Yu and Xu Yao were both dressed in red.
After simply paying homage to heaven and earth, it is time to pay homage to the officials and teachers.
As one of the few young Taoist friends, Su Chen gave the two newcomers a gift of merit equivalent to two years of lifespan, which almost made Xu Yao kneel down with excitement, and Chang Yu's voice choked with sobs.
Su Chen smiled faintly and motioned him to continue.
Chang Yu's uncle took out the marriage certificate with a resounding voice.
"A marriage certificate, presented to the heavens and heard in the underworld...witnessed by the ancestors of the heavens..."
Su Chen looked up and saw the clouds in the sky rolling up and down, with a faint glow dissipating at the edge of the clouds.
Afterwards, Uncle Chang Yu solemnly handed the bronze marriage certificate to Chang Yu and Xu Yao, and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Shang Yu boy, live a good life. If Uncle Chang Yu finds out that you bullied Yao Yao, I will make you suffer a great blow."
Su Chen: "..."
Chang Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "Uncle Master, how is that possible?"
"Alright, alright, hurry up and go to the bridal chamber. It's not easy to remain a virgin for decades. I, your uncle, will drink the wine for you."
Amidst everyone's jokes, Chang Yu and Xu Yao fled with red faces.
After Chang Yu's uncle toasted everyone with a glass of wine, he quickly came to Su Chen.
"Little Taoist Su, my nephew is grateful to you. This cup is from me. Thank you very much."
"I dare not." Su Chen drank the wine, then raised his eyebrows and looked at the wine glass carefully, "Is it plum wine?"
Uncle Chang Yu smiled and nodded. "It's the monkey plum wine brewed by the monkeys in this mountain. We save some every year, just waiting for these children to get married. It's a pity that in the past few decades, only Chang Yu has gotten married."
"That's a blessing for me..."
After a brief greeting, Master Chang Yu invited everyone to dinner.
After three rounds of drinking, when everyone was drunk, he looked at Su Chen.
"Young Daoist Su, may I have a moment with you?"
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
Deep in Chunyang Palace, Uncle Chang Yu's shoulders suddenly bent down.
"Young Taoist Su, I, the old Taoist, am so shameless today and have a favor to ask of you."
Su Chen frowned and did not answer.
He had only met his uncle Chang Yu twice. When they first met in the first month of the year, he was deeply saddened by the pain of his old friend going astray. Now when he saw him again, he looked much older and more hunched.
"There are only three people left in Chunyang Palace now. My old Taoist life is coming to an end. Chang Yu is lucky to have you extend his life, so he can still survive for a few more years. There is also a nephew... who has been missing for many years. The inheritance of the huge Chunyang Palace, once the Heavenly Master's Mansion, is likely to be cut off."
Su Chen couldn't help but think of Huaishan.
"Chunyang Palace is gone, and that's it. During the war, when I went down the mountain with my master and uncle to fight the enemy, I had already made preparations."
"But I came back alive, and I can't just watch Xuanmen continue to decline."
"The higher-ups don't intend to revive the Xuan Sect."
"Yes, nowadays, they are so powerful, aren't they? They don't seem to need Xuanmen to maintain peace, but we can't let our guard down."
He turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at Su Chen.
"Little Daoist Fellow Su, among the younger generation of Xuanshi, I'm afraid you're the only one who can carry the heavy load."
Su Chen: "..."
Just as he was about to speak, Uncle Chang Yu raised his hand.
"I know, young friend, you have five children, so you might not have that much energy. It doesn't matter. Don't you still have Chang Yu to support you? Wait a few years, a few years later, when your children grow up, if, if the country is in trouble, if the people are in trouble..."
Su Chen: "Don't worry, senior, I won't sit idly by."
"Even if I am torn to pieces, I am not afraid."
After hearing his words, Uncle Chang Yu smiled with relief.
"Qin Deshui is right. There are few people like you in Xuanmen. You are usually gentle and kind. If there is really a need, you will do your best to help."
"It really looks like them. They look exactly like my master, uncles, and other senior masters."
As he spoke, he slowly took out a jade pendant and handed it to Su Chen.
Su Chen: "This is..."
"My master used this jade to command the Xuanmen back then."
Su Chen suddenly felt his palms burning.
"Take it."
"Hopefully you'll never need it."
Su Chen slowly clenched his fist.
It’s different from the one entrusted to the sect by the master in the previous life.
At that time, he only felt that the future was bleak and his shoulders were heavy, as if carrying a huge mountain.
But in this world today, there are gods and a government that serves the people. Even if there is filth in the dark, it will not hinder the rise of the country and the well-being of the people.
What's more, there is an exorcism team to help deal with the filth.
This jade...
It probably won't be used.
Seeing Su Chen put away the jade pendant, Uncle Chang Yu led him into the inner hall.
There are rows of tablets being worshipped and the air is filled with smoke from incense.
The top one stood alone, very eye-catching. It did not contain the name of a deity, but only four large characters: "Peace and Prosperity for the Country and the People!"
Uncle Chang Yu took the incense and handed it to Su Chen. Seeing that he had offered the incense, he said, "Xiaobai, come out."
Su Chen: “???”
He looked carefully and found a small head poking out from under the tablecloth.
The nose on the little head twitched, and the small body quickly crawled out from under the tablecloth.
Su Chen's gaze fixed.
