The Lu family held a buffet banquet and booked two streets.
Zhang Zhiwei followed Lu Jin to another street.
There is a waterway in the middle of the street, with several pleasure boats moored on them. There are performances on these boats, and the performances are varied, such as face changing, lantern parades on the water, and sword dancing on the ground.
There are various kinds of food on the long streets on both sides of the waterway.
"Brother Zhang, would you like a string of candied haws?"
After all, he was a young man at heart. Seeing the candied haws not far away, Lu Jin couldn't help but ask.
You're such a grown-up, and you're still eating candied haws. How ridiculous... Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said, "You can try one!"
Lu Jin said quickly, "Come on, let's go over there quickly. I saw Fatty Wang. If we go too late, he'll have all the candied haws!"
Fatty Wang... Zhang Zhiwei looked closely and found a fat boy wearing a red jacket and a neat middle-parted hair not far away.
The little fat boy followed a little fat girl with pigtails and said attentively:
"Shihuaer, where are the candied haws? Do you want some? If you do, I'll buy some for you!"
“I don’t want to eat it!”
The chubby girl named Shi Huaer looked impatient, but then she rolled her eyes and changed her tone: "I want to eat it, then you go buy it for me!"
"Okay, Shihuaer, wait here for a moment, I'll go buy it for you!"
The little fat boy ran towards the candied haws stall with a happy look on his face.
As soon as he left, the little fat girl felt relieved and slipped away in the opposite direction.
"Boss, I want all the candied haws you have!"
The little fat man came to the candied haws stall, took out a few dollars, pointed at the wooden sticks used to make the candied haws and said.
"Okay!"
The boss looked very happy and gave the whole stick to the fat boy.
At this moment, Lu Jin arrived in time: "Wang Ai, what are you doing?"
The fat boy, who was holding the candied haws stick and grinning foolishly, looked back at Lu Jin and said with a vigilant look:
"What are you doing, Lu Jin? I'm buying candied haws, but there's no portion for you. I also need to bring some for Shi Huaer!"
Lu Jin said quickly, "Where are you looking for Shi Huaer? Shi Huaer has already run away, and you are still here buying candied haws. Go and chase her!"
"ah?!"
The little fat boy Wang Ai was stunned and subconsciously turned around to look at the little fat girl, and saw the little fat girl's back disappearing at the end of the long street.
"Lu Jin, please take it for me!"
The little fat boy Wang Ai stuffed the stick filled with candied haws into Lu Jin's hand and chased after the little fat girl, shouting as he chased:
"Shihuaer, Shihuaer, wait for me, wait for me!"
Zhang Zhiwei: “…………”
This chubby boy with a silly face is the future scheming Wang Ai?
Also, the chubby girl named Shihuaer in front is the fortune teller Guan Shihua who later became one of the Ten Lords?
Why do I feel like a pig chasing a swallow?
There's a story behind these two?!
"Brother Zhang, here are some candied haws!"
Lu Jin took two gourd sticks from the gourd stick handed to him by Wang Ai and gave them to Zhang Zhiwei.
Zhang Zhiwei took the candied haws and asked, "Are you close to that little fat guy?"
He was a little confused about the relationship between the four families.
Lu Jin said, "Very good. His name is Wang Ai, and he's my childhood playmate. Oh, and Senior Brother Zhang, do you know the Wang family among the four families?"
Zhang Zhiwei stuffed a candied haws into his mouth, thinking of the cunning tactics of the Wang family master, and nodded, "I know!"
"He's the only son of the Wang family's patriarch!" Lu Jin said while eating candied haws. "By the way, the one he's pursuing is the descendant of the Northeastern Chu Ma Xian lineage, named Guan Shihua. I don't know the details. I've been practicing in the Sanyi Sect for the past few years, so I don't know how they knew each other!"
"I see!" Zhang Zhiwei asked, "How many years have you been practicing in the Trinity Sect?"
"I joined the Trinity Sect when I was eight years old, which means it's been almost seven years now!" Lu Jin said.
"How is the practice of the third level of reverse life?"
"So-so, so-so, so-so!" Lu Jin smiled and touched his head. "Oh right, I saw Senior Brother Zhang traveling with the Heavenly Master. He must be the direct descendant disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion!"
"Zhang's direct descendant..."
Zhang Zhiwei was about to say yes, but after thinking for a moment, he understood what Lu Jin meant and shook his head.
"No, my ancestral home is in Hubei, from Huangcheng Village, Zhengji Town, Yicheng City. I was an orphan during the war. I happened to meet a master who was traveling down the mountain, and I was accepted as his disciple and became a disciple of Longhu Mountain!"
In Longhu Mountain, the surname "Zhang" has three meanings. One is the ordinary surname Zhang. After all, "Zhang" is a big surname, and there are many people with the surname Zhang. It has no special meaning.
The second refers to the bloodline of Zu Tianshi, which is the direct disciple of Zhang mentioned by Lu Jin, meaning the descendants of Zhang Daoling, the founder of Zhengyi Sect.
Zhang Daoling, as the founder of the Zhengyi Sect, was an enlightened saint. Most of his descendants were extremely talented, so among the 64 generations of Heavenly Masters to date, the vast majority were direct descendants of the Zhang family.
Like Zhang Lingyu in later generations, he should be the direct descendant of the Zhang family.
But even the bloodline of the Ancestral Heavenly Master will have its period of lack of successors, in order to prevent the Heavenly Master's Mansion from declining due to the Heavenly Master's lack of strength.
The Tianshi Mansion established a new rule. If there was a disciple from another family with extraordinary talent, he could be given the surname "Zhang" as an exception, becoming a pseudonymous disciple and a candidate for the Tianshi position.
Among these three Zhangs, the disciple with the fake surname has the highest value.
This was because it meant that the talent of this non-celestial disciple was so high that the Tianshi Mansion was willing to break the rules and hand over the position of Tianshi, which was held by the direct descendant, to another one.
Zhang Zhiwei was the disciple who used a false name.
As for Zhang Zhiwei's original surname, it was actually Zhang.
Because he was an orphan picked up by Zhang Jingqing, he had no name or surname, so of course he had to take his master's surname.
As for the unnecessary act of giving him the surname Zhang again... it was so that he could legitimately inherit the position of Heavenly Master.
"So that's how it is. But since Senior Brother Zhang can follow the Heavenly Master, he must be very valued. He can't become a disciple with a false name in the future!" Lu Jin smiled. He knows how to behave.
Zhang Zhiwei: “…”
I wanted to say that I was a disciple with a false surname, but since Lu Jin said so, Zhang Zhiwei didn't bother to spoil it and said:
"Thank you for your good wishes!"
"Brother Zhang, you're too polite. By the way, Brother Zhang is a monk, so he must have been practicing in the mountains. Come on, I'll take you to meet the young leaders of each sect!"
"Really? Then I have to open my eyes!"
Originally, Zhang Zhiwei was not interested in these future ten bosses, but after meeting the little fat man Wang Ai, he suddenly became a little interested.
This young generation seems quite interesting. I wonder how the two Lu family leaders that Master mentioned, who are expected to become the best among the young generation, compare to me, the best among the young generation?
It’s hard to estimate!
Saying that it opens at around midnight is too arrogant and presumptuous.
But to say it’s 30:70 or 20:80 is not appropriate!
After all, it’s just a slap!
Then let’s round it up and make it 90:10!
