Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 90 Zhuge Family
To the north of the town stood a large mansion covering several acres. Hanging above the gate was a plaque with the words "Zhuge Family" inscribed in large letters.

“It’s quite impressive.”

At the door, Li Kunshan looked up and nodded.

Although this is not Zhuge Village in Zhejiang Province, this shop does not disgrace the name Zhuge Family in such a small town.

Since there are Zhang Zhiwei and Zheng Zibu in this world, there must be other forces in the world of extraordinary people, such as the Zhuge Wuhou faction.

Since Zhuge Kongping also has the surname Zhuge and can catch ghosts, although we don’t know why he settled in this small Hehuan Town, he should also be a disciple of the Wuhou School.

"Of course it's magnificent. How could I introduce her to you, an ordinary family?"

The matchmaker patted Li Kunshan's chest with the big red palm-leaf fan in her hand, smiled sweetly, and then walked straight into the door.

Li Kunshan smiled and followed him in.

Two days ago, a matchmaker suddenly came to the door and wanted to introduce Li Kunshan to someone. Li Kunshan originally refused, but when he heard that the girl was from the Zhuge family, he couldn't help but become interested.

He was not interested in the girl, but in Zhuge Kongping.

As soon as I arrived in Hehuan Town, I heard about Zhuge Kongping's fame. He was the best at catching ghosts and treating corpses in the area.

But more than two months have passed and Li Kunshan has not met Zhuge Kongping yet.

Hehuan Town is not very big, but one is in the south and the other is in the north, so it is not easy to meet each other by chance.

As for taking the initiative to visit, who visits whom?
Colleagues are enemies, especially after Li Kunshan destroyed Nintendo, his fame was almost as great as Zhuge Kongping's. How could Zhuge Kongping feel comfortable?

How is it possible that Zhuge Kongping would take the initiative to visit Li Kunshan, lowering his own status and elevating Li Kunshan instead?

As for Li Kunshan's visit to Zhuge Kongping, Li Kunshan was not happy about it. He was a legitimate Maoshan disciple who had been ordained, so why would he take the initiative to visit someone from the Wuhou Sect?

Although he was competing with Zhuge Kongping, Li Kunshan was still somewhat curious about him.

This time the matchmaker was the one who was bringing me together, so I decided to take the opportunity to come and take a look.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go in and talk to the girl first."

Inside the courtyard, in a large, south-facing, two-story house, the matchmaker stopped Li Kunshan in front of the living room door and then stepped inside, waving her large palm-leaf fan and shouting loudly.

"Where is Madam Wang? I brought her here, why hasn't she come out yet?"

Li Kunshan stood at the door, waiting calmly and looking around.

I couldn't help but nod my head, worthy of being the Zhuge Wuhou faction.

The Wuhou School excels in the art of divination, so the layout of this courtyard is very particular.

For example, the surface of the pond in the middle is motionless, just like a Bagua mirror.

Li Kunshan had no knowledge of Feng Shui, but after following Uncle Jiu for two years, he could learn a little bit from what he saw and heard.

In addition, the overall layout of the Zhuge family, as well as the architecture and furnishings of the courtyard, are also very particular.

The whole house is going smoothly and is thriving.

From this point of view alone, we can see that Zhuge Kongping is worthy of his reputation.

In fact, as a time traveler, Li Kunshan’s ability of Zhuge Kongping can be seen from the plot of the movie.

"come in."

Just as Li Kunshan was watching, the matchmaker came out and waved to him at the door.

Li Kunshan straightened his clothes slightly and stepped in.

The living room is not very big, but similar to the courtyard, both the layout and the various furniture arrangements are extremely exquisite.

Li Kunshan watched and nodded secretly.

"Where are you looking? This way."

Just as I was watching intently, the matchmaker called out again.

Li Kunshan smiled and came to his senses. He looked in the direction the matchmaker pointed and saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen sitting on a seat nearby.

She was dressed in plain clothes, not particularly fancy but clean and tidy. Her skin was fair and tender, her figure was well-proportioned, and her facial features were particularly delicate. She looked a bit like the young Daiqisi in the 01 Hong Kong version of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

I think she is Zhuge Xiaohua, the daughter of Zhuge Kongping.

Li Kunshan smiled and said, "She's as pretty as in the movie. It's a good thing she looks like her mother. If she looked like her father, it would be all over."

Jokes aside, given Zhuge Xiaohua's looks and family background, if she were in the modern dating market, she would definitely be sought after by thousands of people. It's only in this era that her family would worry about her not being able to get married and arrange blind dates for her early on.

Apart from Zhuge Xiaohua, no other members of the Zhuge family were seen in the living room.

"Miss Zhuge, right?"

Li Kunshan looked natural and took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

"Hello, I'm Li Kunshan."

"Ah? Oh, hello, I'm Zhuge Xiaohua."

Zhuge Xiaohua was obviously a little flustered and quickly stood up to respond.

He lowered his head, embarrassed to look Li Kunshan in the eye, but he couldn't help but secretly glance at Li Kunshan, with a hint of joy on the corner of his mouth.

Putting aside other things, Li Kunshan is still quite good-looking.

After all, there was an entry for [fair and handsome] in the beginning. Although the entry was later merged, the appearance did not change drastically.

Furthermore, he still has the [Seductive Eyes] attribute. Although it has been turned off, as a charm ability, it can still make the opposite sex feel more favorable towards him.

"what?"

After looking Zhuge Xiaohua up and down, Li Kunshan suddenly showed an extremely puzzled expression.

"...What are you looking at?"

Feeling a little uneasy when being looked at by Li Kunshan, Zhuge Xiaohua couldn't help but ask a question.

Li Kunshan then withdrew his gaze and spoke seriously.

"I'm looking to see if we've met somewhere before."

"See? No."

Zhuge Xiaohua raised her head, looking confused.

"I don't remember meeting you."

"I've never seen it in real life. Ah, I get it!"

Li Kunshan clapped his hands and spoke seriously.

"But in my dream, I have seen you, Miss Zhuge."

"In a dream?"

"correct."

Li Kunshan smiled and continued.

"We've been connected in dreams for a long time. So, we can be considered old friends. There's no need to be so formal with old friends."

"This... Hee, even though it feels like you're talking nonsense, it does seem to make sense."

Zhuge Xiaohua smiled and couldn't help but relax.

Li Kunshan smiled and thought to himself that it was just nonsense, but with the entry of [good at speaking] and having lived two lives, it is not easy to fool a little girl like you.

"Hey~! Stop standing there, sit down and talk!"

Seeing that the two of them were attracted to each other, the matchmaker covered her mouth and smiled, and quickly asked the two to sit next to each other.

"You guys chat first, I'll go take a look at the back."

The matchmaker gave one more instruction and then turned and left.

Li Kunshan looked at Zhuge Xiaohua and took the initiative to speak.

"By the way, Miss Zhuge, what do your parents do?"

"Oh, my dad is a ghost catcher, and my mom is a fortune teller."

"It sounds amazing, is it true?"

"Of course it's true! My parents are very famous around here!"

"So how does your dad catch ghosts? What magic spells does he have, and what magic tools does he use?"

"My father is from the Wuhou School, and he's mainly good at divination..."

Zhuge Xiaohua answered whatever Li Kunshan asked, especially after she let down her guard, she told him everything she knew.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Li Kunshan's understanding of Zhuge Kongping is limited just through the movie, while Zhuge Xiaohua, as his biological daughter, knows him very well.

I have to say, Zhuge Xiaohua is simple.

The two chatted in the living room for nearly an hour, and Li Kunshan even knew what color shorts Zhuge Kongping usually wore.

"It's great that you're chatting so enthusiastically."

At this time, the matchmaker came in again and said to Li Kunshan.

"It's almost time today, let's go back first."

"it is good."

Li Kunshan stood up and said something to Zhuge Xiaohua.

"Miss Zhuge, I'll take my leave now."

"Well, walk slowly."

Zhuge Xiaohua stood up, looking somewhat reluctant.

"Okay, okay, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

The matchmaker covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, then took Li Kunshan away. A moment later, the matchmaker returned. In the living room, there was a middle-aged woman with a charming demeanor. It was Zhuge Xiaohua's mother, Wang Hui.

"How does this feel?"

Seeing Zhuge Xiaohua still looking out the door, the matchmaker smiled and joked.

"Is it a hit?"

"Ouch~!"

Zhuge Xiaohua stamped her feet and turned away shyly.

"Little girl, you're shy now, but when you get married and taste the sweetness, you'll want to stick to him."

The matchmaker smiled a little obscenely, then turned to Wang Hui.

"So, you've been watching from the back for so long, what do you think of this?"

"I was quite far away and couldn't hear what they said, but judging from the man's demeanor, he seemed quite nice."

Wang Hui thought about it and then said with a happy face.

"Most importantly, judging by his facial features and bones, he's definitely not an ordinary person. Even if he doesn't become rich and powerful in the future, he will definitely be a rare talent!"

"Really! That's great!"

"And, most importantly!"

"Mom, you just said the most important thing!"

“So this time is the most important.”

Wang Hui became more and more excited and said to Zhuge Xiaohua.

"His Bazi is Wood, and strong Wood. Your Bazi is Water, and strong Water. Water can generate Wood, but too much Wood shrinks Water. But because you are strong Water, strong Water can only be relieved by Wood. The two of you complement each other, and your Bazi is the most suitable!"

"Then it must be him!"

Zhuge Xiaohua looked very happy. Since her mother, a master of the Mayi School, said so, it must be correct.

Moreover, as descendants of Ma Yi, the mother and daughter are most afraid of having their horoscopes conflicting with each other.

For example, I met someone before whose horoscope was of the fire element, which was incompatible with Zhuge Xiaohua, so I didn’t consider him at all.

"Don't even think about it! Just pick him!"

The matchmaker standing by also agreed.

After all, she can only get the money if the deal is done.

"What do you mean by save him? Save him. Who are you saving?"

A low voice sounded, and a middle-aged fat man walked in with a young man. They were Zhuge Kongping and their son Zhuge Xiaoming.

Seeing the matchmaker next to him, Zhuge Kongping couldn't help but frown. Then he looked at the mother and daughter with happy faces and felt puzzled again.

"I found some gold today. I'm so happy."

"It's more exciting than finding gold."

Wang Hui smiled and spoke directly.

"Just now, another person was brought here to see Xiaohua."

"Another one?"

Zhuge Kongping looked at the matchmaker with suspicion.

"That didn't work last time. Are you reliable?"

"Oh my! Everyone knows I'm the chief matchmaker in Hehuan Town. I'm the most reliable!"

The matchmaker puffed out her chest and confronted Zhuge Kongping head-on.

"You know what, this one is really reliable this time."

Wang Hui looked very satisfied and added another sentence.

"No, it's very reliable!"

"Very reliable?"

Zhuge Xiaoming stood by and looked at Zhuge Xiaohua with a face full of amorous feelings.

"Wow! Sister, you're horny!"

"Oh~ what~!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Wang Hui tapped her son and continued.

"Not only are they both good-looking and charming, but most importantly, I've calculated their fortunes and they're absolutely perfect for each other!"

"real or fake?"

Zhuge Kongping looked at the matchmaker suspiciously again. The matchmaker looked very proud. Zhuge Kongping frowned and asked casually.

"By the way, what's that person's name?"

"What's it called?"

Wang Hui scratched her head and looked at Zhuge Xiaohua.

Zhuge Xiaohua thought about it and said quickly.

"His surname is Li and his given name is Kunshan."

"Li Kunshan?"

Zhuge Kongping was stunned and couldn't help scratching his head.

"Why does it sound familiar?"

"Dad!"

Zhuge Xiaoming suddenly exclaimed, startling a few people, and then continued.

"The new Maoshan Taoist priest who came to our town seems to be called this name."

"Yes! That stinky Taoist priest is called Li Kunshan!"

Zhuge Kongping's face was full of annoyance, then he was stunned and quickly looked at the matchmaker.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right? What does he do?"

"Didn't you just say that, Taoist priest?"

"What a coincidence!"

"It's no coincidence, he's the Taoist priest who just came to our town!"

The matchmaker waved her hand and smiled again.

"Look, you guys are a family of ghost catchers, and he happens to be a Taoist priest, what a perfect match!"

"Yes."

Zhuge Xiaohua hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"I bother!"

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Kongping's face was full of anger and he shouted at the top of his voice.

"That stinky Taoist priest has only been here for two months, and he's already taken away several of my orders. I wish I could beat him up, and now he's trying to seduce my daughter. I'm so pissed!"

"Dad! He didn't pick me up!"

Seeing this, Zhuge Xiaohua hurriedly explained.

"We are spiritual friends."

"What kind of handover? What kind of handover did you guys have?"

Zhuge Kongping's face flushed red, and he walked around the living room anxiously for a few times, and finally picked up a feather duster.

"I will beat him up right now if he dares to bully my daughter, Zhuge Kongping!"

"Fat!"

Zhuge Kongping had just walked to the door when Wang Hui shouted to stop him, then smiled and said.

"I advise you not to go. I just saw his bones and he's got great kung fu skills. Not to mention your age now, even when you were younger, three of you wouldn't be his match!"

"Ah? This."

Zhuge Kongping scratched his head, stuffed the feather duster into Zhuge Xiaoming's hand, and scolded him a few words.

"Spiritual intercourse, what about promiscuity? What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I?"

Zhuge Xiaoming blinked and said it was none of his business.

Wang Hui smiled, put her hands on her hips, looked outside the door, and nodded unconsciously.

She is so young, yet she can compete with her husband for business. She was right. She will definitely be a talented person in the future.

The more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.

"Ah sneeze~!"

On the way, Li Kunshan suddenly sneezed and frowned. Who was talking about him behind his back?

Looking back at the Zhuge family, I couldn't help but smile.

Although I didn't meet Zhuge Kongping this time, I got a pretty good idea of ​​what he was up to from Zhuge Xiaohua. I'll have a much better idea of ​​what he's up to next time I bump into someone.
