I was sighing for the old camphor tree in my heart, and I felt pity that when it was no longer pure from now on, I suddenly felt the warm life energy of the old camphor tree coming from under my feet.

Since the Yin God was injured, I have lost the ability to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even the pulse of the earth that I had realized could not sense it. But the life energy of the old camphor tree is an exception. That day, I came to pick up camphor tree branches for my grandfather. I was not a monk, so I once felt it.

Moreover, after this period of dual cultivation, I have communicated with it. Through the energy of life, I can even sense the emotions of the old camphor tree, and verify the words of the plant teacher; "Plants, like humans and animals, also have joy, anger, sorrow, and emotions..."

The old camphor tree not only has emotions, but has also become more and more lively recently. The feelings it conveys to me at this moment are happiness, excitement, and even a hint of pride. To describe it in northern dialect, it has a little meaning of "people are crazy".

"You are actually happy..."

I smiled bitterly and shook my head.

Plants are plants. Even if they have been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, their ideas are still much simpler than people. It is probably because the old camphor tree has been lonely for a long time, and now it is suddenly valued and has a conference covered with red colors, which makes it extremely happy.

This mentality is a bit like the little red flower I received when I was in the first grade of elementary school. I was so excited that I could tell the whole world.

There were crackling sounds of firecrackers in my ears, and more and more people were watching. Two or three hundred people gathered, and people kept coming from the bottom of the mountain.

After almost the people who came to watch the ceremony gathered, more than a dozen policemen protected the two of them and walked towards the 'rostrum'.

One of them is Li Yuejin. The deputy mayor is out of the cave and it is normal for the police uncle to be busy, but the other person next to him makes me unable to see what his identity is.

When leading cadres attended large-scale events in the early 1990s, they either wore Zhongshan suits or double-breasted suits. In short, if they were too rustic, they would be a high-ranking official, even I, a junior high school student, knew these things.

But the man walking beside Li Yuejin is over 60 years old, but he is dressed very fashionable. His suit looks inconspicuous, but it fits very well, just fits his body, making everyone feel very comfortable.

Moreover, the style of the suit is something I have never seen in Chu Du, how can I describe it? It is more like the kind worn by business tycoons in Hong Kong TV series. With his gold-rimmed glasses, I feel that he looks very much like Wan Ziliang who became famous in "Rogue Tycoon", but he is a little older.

Hong Kong or Taiwanese? What did he come to Hanshan for? Do you also care if the old camphor tree was planted by Su Dongpo himself?

It’s not that I’m underestimating myself. In the early days of reform and opening up, Chu Du City really didn’t have such a person, so this person stood out in the crowd.

I saw this man following Li Yuejin, who was in charge of Chu City's economic development, walked up to the rostrum, sitting next to him, posing as an pose as the deputy mayor.

Hong Kong businessmen? It’s a bit like. Now they are attracting investment and developing everywhere, and the news is also reported every day. Judging from this person’s posture, it is likely that he is a wealthy boss. Even Li Yuejin smiled in front of him, and he showed a sense of flattery.

After the two arrived, the conference began. First, the leaders in charge spoke. First, the head of the Garden Bureau of the Green Committee made a formality, focusing on the thousand-year-old age and long history of the old camphor tree, and then talking about how powerful Chu Du was, and so on.

Applause, change of people. Comrade Li Yuejin, the biggest leader, started speaking. His words were not long-winded and skillful. He roughly summarized the previous speech and applauded and invited the real protagonist today.

It's indeed the person who looks like a Hong Kong businessman.

Chairman of Hong Kong Tianyu Group, Su Bingkun.

"Is it him?"

I couldn't help but look at this boss Su. This person is so awesome. He is the top 100 rich man in Hong Kong and the first Hong Kong rich man to invest in Chudu. The most popular Tianbao Electronics Group in Chudu is established by him. It is currently the top 10 major enterprises in northern Jiangsu.

Wang Zhan’s father was originally from Chudu TV Factory No. 1. After the factory went bankrupt, he was merged into Tianbao Group. Even Wang Zhan’s mother held the Su family’s job. It can be said that Su Bingkun’s every move was directly related to the economic environment of Wang Zhan’s family…

However, they didn't take a Tianbao Group seriously at all. They had never come to Chudu after investing. They didn't know where Li Yuejin got such great energy, so they actually invited him?

I began to develop an interest, and it seems that a story will happen today...

Sure enough, Comrade Li Yuejin invited this big boss for a reason.

According to Li Yuejin, this chairman Su Bingkun is actually the descendants of Grand Secretary Su Dongpo and Su. This time he flew from Hong Kong to witness the camphor trees planted by his ancestors. He also had to personally assign a sign for the old camphor trees and paint a white paint for the tree protection...

I was stunned when I heard this. This is so good, how could a good Taoist partner become a tree of other people's ancestors? Moreover, this contemporary master is a Hong Kong compatriot who has made significant contributions to the economic development of Chudu...

What he wants to do? Shouldn’t he be pretending to go through a formality today and take the old camphor tree back to Hong Kong while others are not paying attention?

Care is confusing, and I have to worry about this.

"Uncle Huang, your report is so interesting..."

I glanced at the Huang Da reporter standing beside me. As soon as the report came out, the descendants of Grand Secretary Su rushed to Chudu. Is there such a coincidence in the world?

"Hehe, hehe..."

Uncle Huang laughed awkwardly: "The article was written on it... It's not easy for you Uncle Huang to offend people all your life. Since I experienced the last incident, I have figured it out..."

I nodded. After walking through life and death, it can indeed make a person change a lot, and I have a personal feeling about it. But I didn’t expect Uncle Huang’s transformation to be so fast. It’s still the straightforward troublemaker who is more cute.

I wonder if I will continue to practice, will I change like Uncle Huang?

I began to think deeply.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, Su Bingkun personally inserted a bronze medal for the old camphor tree with historical ancient trees and texts such as the variety, age, and origin of the old camphor tree. Then he made a public statement that Hong Kong Tianyu Group would become acquainted with Chudu, vigorously develop Chudu, and increase investment in various fields.

These are exactly what Li Yuejin wants to hear the most. Seeing the deputy mayor's excitement and barely maintaining his calmness, I was tired for him.

"Uncle Huang, I'll leave first..."

Su Bingkun's appearance made me feel very uncomfortable, as if the old camphor tree was about to be taken away by him. Maybe this is also an inner demon, but I don't care. This is the true thought in my heart at this moment.

"Student Zhang Dong..."

A figure flashed in front of me, and the police station elder Comrade He stopped me: "Haha, as soon as you and reporter Huang go up the mountain, I will see you. Zhang Dong... Deputy Mayor Li has made arrangements long ago. I hope you and reporter Huang can attend Chairman Su's welcome banquet. If you leave now, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me?"

"What does his welcome party have to do with me?"

I am very emotional now and don’t restrain myself from being distracted. Beware of internal and external demons. The Yin God is injured. How can it be miserable?

"Why is it not your business? Xiaodong?"

Uncle Huang smiled and smoothed the scene: "If you hadn't stopped Deputy Mayor Li, now I wouldn't know what Old Zhangshu looks like. Chairman Su wanted to thank you for protecting Old Zhangshu for him. Besides, Deputy Mayor Li has agreed. If you don't go, wouldn't it embarrassing for everyone?"

"I'll save the old camphor tree for him?"

I looked at Uncle Huang silently for a while, and couldn't tell what it was. This straight man who once hated evil became smoother?

Maybe this is the way he chose...

Forget it, for Teacher Fan’s sake, I can’t make it difficult for him to do it. It’s obvious that he is quite looking forward to today’s dinner. If I don’t go, just relying on his article, I’m afraid I’m not qualified to participate...

In addition, I also want to see what Chairman Su is thinking. If he really wants to be unfavorable to the old Zhangshu, I will not be silent.

***

Su Bingkun's performance at the dinner table that day was a bit beyond my expectations. This person was not arrogant, had no airs, and was very enthusiastic about others, especially to me, the "benefactor" of the Su family.

After thanking me, he went to thank Uncle Huang again. The meal was very pleasant, and he didn't even talk about the most important economic topics. He just talked about some topics about family matters, and asked about my learning situation in the manner of an elder.

However, I still saw his religious beliefs from the string of jade beads he hung on his hand and the jade Buddha on his neck; I also occasionally saw the eyes he exchanged with Li Yuejin. This look was a bit terrifying, but there was no malice, and it was more like the secret joy he showed when he shared the same secret.

I laughed in my stomach. From these clues that emerged on the surface, it was basically possible that Li Yuejin told Su Bingkun about Guanyin's dream saying that I was a noble person in order to find a common topic with this wealthy businessman.

This Buddhist would probably like to see me, the person who alarmed Guanyin Bodhisattva. Lao Zhangshu's affairs were just an excuse.

And from their conversation, I can hear that Su Bingkun's performance today should have a deeper meaning. He actually didn't care too much about the old camphor tree.

This is the best, I feel relieved. But in a vague sense that the appearance of Chairman Su will bring some changes to my life. Maybe it is inspired by the monks, so I can't explain it clearly...

Before we knew it, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

This Mid-Autumn Festival will be the happiest and most anticipated Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because not only did my father and the others call, they would rush back to Chudu to celebrate the festival together in the afternoon, but also my grandfather and fourth aunt have also become more diligent in walking around recently.

Just now, my grandfather told me to pick up my fourth aunt so that she could catch up with the mooncakes.

After receiving the order, I happily pushed the permanent car onto my fourth aunt's house and rode to my fourth aunt's house...

ps: Thank you to fellow Taoist ‘Hezhou 1218’ and fellow Taoist ‘Jingyi, Yefeng’ for your rewards. Thank you for your support and call for recommendations and collections. Haha…

In addition, I will go to my mother-in-law's house tomorrow because she has no internet there, so she will upload it only if she has to go home. It cannot be updated at noon, and it will be bigger in the evening:)
Chapter completed!
