237. The beasts in clothing and beasts, the eyes are born and the heart is born
Cheng Tianle asked again: "You didn't even look at the other party's shadow. Can you be sure that it was a weasel monster?"
Wu Jiaming: "Of course I can be sure that the smell will definitely smell good. I am not inferior to it. It's just that its talented magical powers are so scared that I haven't recovered yet. This time I've bumped into the real Huang Taixian."
Cheng Tianle: "You went to the construction site in the middle of the night, and you looked so miserable when you came back. You wanted to vomit after smelling food these two days. How did the reception staff of the opposite Anda Company explain it?"
Wu Jiaming: "I just said that using mana will damage your vitality and need to rest for a few days."
Cheng Tianle: "Then you should rest and stop messing around, wait for me to come over and see the situation."
...
Cheng Tianle went to Ningbo directly after hearing the news. He was unsure. Before boarding the plane, he called Huang Shang, Wu Yanqing, and Yu Wuyou, so that they could also get to Ningbo even if they had time. There was a small episode at the airport. As the "Cheng Zong", he was in first class, and the other party had the tickets. In the airport first class waiting room, Cheng Tianle was eating free instant noodles, and a person next to him called to catch his attention.
He looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, with neat hair, glasses, and dark middle-aged clothes. He looked a bit like a movie star Chen Daoming. He sat there with a scholarly temperament.
Cheng Tianle was very interested in other people's clothes at first. If his figure was well maintained, people would look very energetic in Chinese stand-up collar outfits, especially if they were straightforward when walking, sitting and lying down, they would show their temperament. Cheng Tianle remembered that when he went to Suzhou to see the "Anda-Garden" project, Kong Tianjing and Meilande wore traditional Chinese outfits that had been improved by modern times. It seemed that they were much more talented than Cheng Tianle, and he went there casually at that time.
There were two long periods of time, specifically from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and from the reform and opening up to the present, suits were very popular in China. Of course, Cheng Tianle didn't catch up with it in the Republic of China era, but he was a child who grew up in the reform and opening up era. He saw people wearing suits with wide open collars and dew-style clothes. He tied a tie to his neck, and felt it was very fashionable, as if the most formal and decent outfit should be like this. Many units even stipulated that employees must wear suits to work.
The trend of clothing must be hinted and guided by some cultural popular elements, which is very obvious in women, and in fact, men are the same. The factors contained in this are very subtle. Cheng Tianle can't explain it clearly. But in recent years, with the development of China, traditional Chinese aesthetic elements have also tended to return to fashion. Clothing such as Zhongshan clothing, Tang clothing, Hanfu and other clothing have begun to appear more and more. If the tailoring and the figure are good, this type of clothing can actually highlight the restrained and graceful temperament.
While watching, Cheng Tianle thought in his mind that when to find a good tailor to make some sets for himself, wearing traditional Chinese outfits, he must be upright in his demeanor, and not flickering in his expression or shrinking. Otherwise, he will appear a little inconsistent. Isn’t it said in the practice technique? The body is upright and the qi is upright and the mind is upright. The spirit is upright and the spirit is upright... As for the mind is upright, that is another matter.
There is an idiom called "Beasts in Clothing", which was originally used to describe both the official uniforms of the Ming and Qing dynasties and also a swear word. There are indeed many demon cultivators in this world who look no different from ordinary people. But the beasts in Clothing refer to another meaning. Some people are not monsters, but their actions are no different from beasts. As for what they wear, it doesn't matter.
Cheng Tianle was thinking about it all, and the middle-aged man not far away answered a phone call and said, "It's at the airport. I'll go to Ningbo in a while... What I told you is the project of Anda Company in Meizishan Free Trade Zone. I don't know why it is related to supernatural legends. Please go over and inspect it."
Cheng Tianle immediately noticed that he didn't expect that this person was going to the same destination as him. For the same thing, it was a coincidence! He immediately pricked his ears and listened carefully, and with Cheng Tianle's keen sense of perception, he could hear the sound of another person talking in the microphone.
I heard the person on the other side say, "Director Song, when did you become a monster hunter in folk research? Wong Tai Sin invites you to go?... Work-related accidents, you have to be involved with Wong Tai Sin. It's nonsense if you have any work-related accidents!
President Song replied: "I am not interested in catching monsters, but it is said that there are many rumors in the local area, and that place is worth visiting. Even if you go to the island to travel!... You said that it is nonsense, but what if it is not nonsense, we have not encountered strange things before."
The person on the other side of the phone said again: "If something really happens, I'm afraid it's not something you can handle. You are a scholar, not a ritual... You have studied folk customs, and after hearing some praise from others, you really think you are a monster catcher? Be careful not to be captured by monsters!"
President Song smiled and said, "I'm just studying and looking at whether there's such a thing in the local area. Then compare the folk legends from various places and tell the construction party what to do. As for whether it's done or not, they have to hire another expert... Feng Junzi, don't you go? Just think it's out for two days!"
The person named Feng Junzi on the other side of the phone replied: "You go to Ningbo to date Huang Daxian. I don't have this leisure and leisure. I will go to Beijing for a meeting these two days. I wish you good luck!... If you have any novel discoveries, don't forget to tell me when you come back. By the way, you must hold the amulet I drew for you."
President Song: "You just write a few words with a piece of white paper. Can the ghost drawing talisman work?"
Feng Junzi laughed and said, "It's very useless! It's just to give you courage, it's considered psychological comfort!"
President Song: "You really can't come? The receptions there have been arranged. If there are really strange things, they might be the material!"
Feng Junzi: "I'm really not interested in Wong Daxian. Dean Song should go by himself, but I want to remind you two things."
Dean Song: "What's the matter? Do you want to tell me what mantra to recite?"
Feng Junzi: "There is no spell, just don't be fucked by the stinky farts... The first thing is that since such a change occurs, the other party will definitely invite more than just scholars like you, but also warlocks of the martial arts world. If you find any conclusions and really do what you want, let those martial arts people do it, and you don't show off yourself."
President Song replied: "You are really guessing it right. I have heard that they have found a monster hunter named Cheng Tianle in Suzhou. This Master Cheng first sent a man named Wu Jiaming to see the situation. He will also be here today... Do you think they are liars in the world?"
Feng Junzi smiled and said, "All the people who take on this kind of life are scammers, and they are almost in the same industry as you. Anyway, they can't handle it. After they go, they will have to receive red envelopes. Don't you also have to charge other people's consultation fees? But no matter what, you can sing the literary opera or the martial opera.... Wait! You just said that the monster catcher invited by the company is called Cheng Tianle?"
Dean Song replied: "It's called Cheng Tianle. It sounds quite Coke, have you heard of it?"
Feng Junzi: "I heard that a friend of mine sold a painting in Suzhou. The person who bought the painting was called Cheng Tianle. It was so coincidental, it was interesting. I thought you would really hit Huang Taixian this time!"
Dean Song: "You just said there are two things, and there is another one?"
Feng Junzi: "Since you are doing an investigation, you must conduct a serious investigation to see what that construction site was used to do, especially if there are any temples, ancestral halls, charity houses and other things in history."
President Song: "I have thought of this for a long time. I have notified the people there to be prepared. I got off the flight and went directly to the archives and the Shizhi Office... Feng Junzi, what else do you have to explain?"
Feng Junzi smiled and said, "If you want to find a weasel, it is best to hold a dog first... I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to write an article about Wong Tai Sin and Professor!"
Dean Song laughed and scolded: "Just turn around and bury me! I'll tell you in detail when I come back if I have something."
Cheng Tianle became more and more surprised as he heard it. Not only did the Dean Song who called him also wanted to go to Ningbo for the matter of Anda Company, but the person on the other side of the phone had heard of his name and knew that he had bought Li Wan's paintings. It seemed that he should be Li Wan's friend. Speaking of it, Cheng Tianle always felt sorry for Li Wan. He bought such a magical painting for 800 yuan, but he couldn't blame him for this! Cheng Tianle felt that the name Feng Junzi sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Seeing that the "Director Song" had hung up the phone, Cheng Tianle walked over and asked, "Director Song, are you going to Ningbo too?"
President Song was surprised. He didn't know Cheng Tianle. He stood up and replied, "I'm going to Ningbo. Are you..."
Cheng Tianle smiled and told her home: "I am Cheng Tianle. You just mentioned my name on the phone."
Dean Song's expression was surprised and embarrassed. He came back to his senses and smiled very skillfully and stretched out his hand and said, "I admire you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so young! I am Song Zhaonan, the dean of the Folklore School of XX University. This time I was invited by Anda Company to go to Ningbo for inspection. I heard that you would go too, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental. I just called a friend to joke. If there is any offense, please don't mind."
Song Zhaonan actually called him Cheng Zheng, obviously he had heard some rumors about him from Anda Company. Cheng Tianle knew who he was and what he was doing, so he didn't mind Dean Song's words just now, and he still smiled and said, "You didn't say that I was a liar in the world. It was your friend who said on the phone, and he only said that there were ten**s. If you didn't say it, it would be nothing offensive. My name is indeed quite Coke, everyone calls me Cheng Tianle."
