After leaving the bar, Lin Fang found a hotel to stay in.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. However, the strange phenomenon he encountered just now made Lin Fang a little worried in his heart, what kind of martial arts the other party used, Lin Fang didn't know at all. Although you can judge it by feeling, you can't feel the details of the other party, and you can't always feel a little unsure in your heart.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Fang dialed Master Ye Qian's phone.

"Hey," Ye Qian's voice came from the other side, "Call me so late, is there something wrong," Since Lin Fang left him, he rarely took the initiative to call him, under normal circumstances, as long as he called, there must be something.

"It's nothing, just to tell you, I didn't complete the task you gave me." Lin Fang said, "I didn't succeed in plotting against Su Wanru. Moreover, I also know something from Su Wanru, the Xiong faction does not seem to be as unbearable as you told me, maybe their strategy is indeed a little wrong, but at least they are still thinking about the country and the nation. Master, I don't want to get involved in these political struggles, I just want to live my life quietly. ”

Ye Qian was obviously silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said: "I know everything you are doing on the treasure island, although you did not succeed in plotting against Su Wanru, but it is obvious that the attitude of the bear party towards you has changed a lot. Because of this relationship, the Bear Faction wants to win you over, so even the Emperor family was abandoned by the Bear Faction. Emperor Killing Heaven has officially betrayed the Bear Faction, and the power of the Emperor Family has all been turned underground, which has weakened the strength of the Bear Faction to a certain extent. ”

After a pause, Ye Qian continued: "I know what you think, but sometimes there are some things that you can't do according to your wishes. Nowadays, both hawks and bears are fighting for you, which is very beneficial to your development to a certain extent, but it is also full of threats. Once either party senses that you are not willing to join them, then they will do something to you. So, the most important thing for you at the moment is how to strike a balance between the two of them and make them expect something from you. You're smart and you should know what I mean. ”

"I know. However, I really don't want to mix them. Lin Fang said, "Whether it's the hawks or the bears, they all just want to use me." Whoever is in power is not a good thing for me. ”

"Since they all want to use you, then why don't you use them to strengthen your strength," Ye Qian said, "The real master is not how good his kung fu is, but how to use every resource around him, so as to strengthen himself." Only in this way can we truly be invincible. ”

After a moment of silence, Ye Qian continued: "Now that the matter has come to this, I think there are some things that should be told to you. Ever since I announced that Wolf Fang had retired from the world stage and that it had come to an end, a lot of people didn't understand why, why I chose to do it. Some people say that I am tired of fighting, so I want to live a quiet life; Some people say that it was under pressure from the bear faction that I had to choose to do this. But as I tell you today, it's neither. After I solved King Qin back then, I also thought that everything had been solved, and everything could develop slowly and step by step. However, I didn't expect to accidentally discover that there is a mysterious force hidden in some dark corner, and their ambitions are great. Before I could figure out the details of the other party, I had to make this choice so that they could show themselves. ”

Lin Fang couldn't help but be stunned, a little surprised. Over the years, Lin Fang has also asked Ye Qian this question countless times, but he always laughed it off and did not give himself any positive answers. Therefore, when Ye Qian said such words today, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

Thinking of the young man Lin Fan he had met, Lin Fang's brows couldn't help frowning together, and said, "When I was in Huaxia, I met a young man named Lin Fan. He also said that his master is you, and it is certain that Ji Weiping, the old man of the Ji family, died in his hands. Is that mysterious power that Master is talking about?"

"I didn't know before, but in the past two years, their activities have been a little frequent, and they have gradually turned from dark to light, and I have some information about them. Yes, that mysterious power is Lin Fan. However, I don't know if there is still someone behind him. Ye Qian said, "Lin Fan is my master's grandson, when I went to visit my master, I once taught him some kung fu, to be precise, he is not his master." However, when he disappeared, I kept asking about him, but I didn't know about him. I don't know what kind of cultivation he has reached now, and I don't know why he came down this path, but it is certain that he is the current manipulator of that mysterious force. ”

His brows furrowed tightly, and Lin Fang said: "Since Master, you have such a deep relationship with him, why don't you find him to chat, maybe some things that are already very troublesome can be solved easily, I have seen him, and in his words, I can tell that he has a deep admiration for you." If someone could convince him, I think there would be no one else but Master. ”

"I want to, too, but, so far he seems to be deliberately avoiding me, where do I have a chance to sit down with him." Ye Qian said.

"Then Master, everything you're doing now is just to deal with him," Lin Fang asked.

"Not really. After all, I still don't know what his purpose is, and I don't want to be his enemy if I could. After all, he is my master's only grandson. Ye Qian said, "I just want to lure him out now, and then figure out what his purpose is." However, this kid is very smart, and it is not so easy for him to obediently reveal his purpose. Therefore, it is necessary to provoke a fight between the hawks and the bears, and then let him let his guard down, thinking that he can take advantage of it. When the time comes, I will naturally reveal my true intentions, and I will be able to resolve them in a targeted manner. ”

After a pause, Ye Qian continued: "So, everything I have done so far is towards this goal. ”

Slightly stunned, Lin Fang said: "Master, but have you ever thought that if you do this, how many people will be sacrificed, is it worth it?"

"You're still young, and you may not understand a lot of things. Back then, if King Qin unified the world, what would be the consequences, I am afraid that more people would shed blood and sacrifice. When you do great things, sometimes you will inevitably have some sacrifices. What's more, whether it is the hawks or the bears, although they are not bad people to some extent, they are not good people. Lin Fang said, "Huaxia has finally become what it is today, and I will not allow anyone to destroy the future of Huaxia." It's not good for me to do this positively now, otherwise, Lin Fan will definitely find out, and all the previous efforts will be in vain. Lin Fang, you are my only disciple and the person I trust the most, I know that you are tired of your career as a killer for so many years and don't want to get involved in these struggles anymore, but there are some things that must be done in the world of a man. ”

Taking a deep breath, Ye Qian continued: "Okay, I've already told you what to say, you can decide what to do." No matter what you choose, I will support you. Also, if you meet Lin Fan in the future, you must be careful, don't have a head-on conflict with him, judging from the current situation, you may not be his opponent. If possible, it's best to ask me to meet with him. ”

Sighing helplessly, Lin Fang said: "Your words have already been said to this point, what choice can I have, I feel that I am on the thief ship, and I have been dragged by you step by step to the point where I am now." Okay, I know what to do. ”

After a pause, Lin Fang continued: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you when I call you today." ”

"What's the matter," Ye Qian asked.

"Back then, you and the Wolf Fang swept across the island country, and those ninja families were basically wiped out by you, so you should know the situation of the island country very well. Today I met a guy and I fought against him, and it was a very strange situation. Lin Fang told the old man in detail about the fight with the old man in the bar today.

"Oh," Ye Qian was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that there really be such a person in the island country,"

"Master, you know, what's going on," Lin Fang hurriedly asked.

"Since ancient times, there have been two kinds of practitioners in the island country, one is the ninja and the other is the onmyoji. The one you encounter today should be an onmyoji. Although I had never met such people back then, I did have a basic understanding of them. Ye Qian said, "Onmyoji, which originated in China, is widely popular in island countries and forms part of its unique island country Shinto, 'Yin and Yang Dao'. They not only know how to look at the stars and face people, but also measure their directions, know the difference in calamity, draw talismans, chant spells, and perform illusions. They are also well aware of the unseen powers of people, such as fate, spirits, and ghosts, and have the ability to control these things. The ancient martial arts of China are also divided into various sects, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, etc., and the onmyoji should actually belong to the category of Taoism. Lao Tzu said, 'Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, three to all things, all things negative yin and embrace yang, impulsive thinking harmony.' It is also one of the branches that came into being based on this theory. ”
