Chapter XXIII: Provocation
Weekly calendar, the eighth day of the fourth month.
It was noon, the sun was blazing over Pingzhou City, and the blazing sunlight was eroding everyone in Pingzhou all the time. On the eighth day of the fourth month, in the custom of the Zhou calendar, it is a day to walk the streets and alleys.
On this day, a married woman should go back to the door, carry her old hen, and go to her mother's house to stay for a while, so as to leave a good omen, the golden rooster Ruifu. If there is a person who is away from home on this day, he must also go home before the unitary time, and the family will be full of harmony.
Yes, so it was with the people. In the family, it is another scene.
Several major families in Pingzhou, on this day, is almost a family exchange event, and the children of non-descendants take advantage of this grand exhibition to show themselves, and then get some errands among the clans.
"Brother Fan, do you say it's really okay if we don't go to that exchange meeting?" It was Qing'er who spoke, she was holding a pale yellow oil-paper umbrella to shade the sun, and from time to time she was hinting at Lin Fan.
"No, no, how good it is to go to Lin Fengzhai to eat roast duck! Lin Fan seemed to say casually, but he was also secretly thinking in his heart.
His mind now is only on the Fu family's Hongmen banquet in a few days, if he wants to give the Fu family a surprise effect, maybe the banquet they hold is a good choice.
But this Fu Yang was able to break through to the Qi Chong Realm, even though Father Lin was extremely powerful, but now he has to respect him for three points, in Pingzhou, the Qi Chong Realm, he has the absolute right to speak.
Although Lin Fan had killed the young sect master of the Qi Chong Realm half a month ago, after all, it was with the mysterious remnant sword Falling Immortal, and now the Falling Immortal could not be used, if he was allowed to face the young sect master again, I am afraid that he would not even have a chance to escape.
"What are you thinking! Hmph, it can't be that you want to think about the lotus dream again, right?" Qing'er saw Lin Fan in a daze, his expression suddenly turned cold, and a pair of smart big eyes turned around, as if he thought of something, and immediately spoke.
Lin Fan was called by this, and quickly came back to his senses, looked at Qing'er's shy little face, and asked, "If I were thinking about that lotus dream, would I take you to Lin Fengzhai?"
"Cut, you're going to be okay! Are you okay?" Qing'er was unconvinced, and the corners of her mouth were black and she smiled evilly.
“......”
Lin Fan wanted to speak and stopped, his face full of black lines.
"Okay, then I'll make amends to Miss Qing'er! I will invite Miss Qing'er to eat a good duck in a while!" Lin Fan turned around, drew a duck with his index finger in the air, and said solemnly.
However, Qing'er didn't buy his account, so she ignored him and walked on her own. From afar, she holds a pale butter umbrella in her hand, her long hair falling from her shoulders, and a fragrance on her body against the background of her pink clothes, reminiscent of a fairy descending in a painting.
"This girl is really a billet for everyone! Every time she comes out, it's a little different. Lin Fan muttered to himself.
"Eh, wait for me!"
Seeing Qing'er walking away, Lin Fan immediately shouted again.
Lin Fengzhai.
In front of the main entrance of Lin Fengzhai, there is a huge roast duck, but this duck is a stone carving. It is said that this duck was left by Lin Fengzhai's old owner, and the years of its existence have also gone through decades of wind and rain.
The duck is about three people tall, and its arrogant duck head is facing the east, according to Lin Fengzhai's owner, this is called the rising sun duck, implying that today's business is a big deal.
However, I have to boast that this former old shopkeeper does have an outstanding vision. Since the opening of this Lin Feng Zhai, guests from all over the world have gathered here and ordered a special roast duck.
I remember that at that time, the young Lin Fan also had a dream, that is, to learn Lin Fengzhai's roast duck skills, but when Father Lin found out, he had to interrupt.
"Shopkeeper, what about your shopkeeper?" Suddenly, a young man in Lin Fengzhai shouted at the little guy.
"Guest officer, guest officer, don't be angry, there is anything inconsiderate about the small shop, please forgive me. I saw a middle-aged man gradually walking out on the second floor, apologizing from afar.
The middle-aged man is extremely rich, his face is extremely obvious, his double chin is extremely obvious, and his short figure is staggering even when he takes these few steps.
"You're the shopkeeper here?"
The angry man looked at him when he saw the loader coming.
The shopkeeper took a look at it, and knew that the master in front of him must not be from Pingzhou, because everyone knew his Lin Fengzhai's name in Pingzhou, if he used this duck to talk about things, the locals would definitely not.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The boss said politely one after another.
At this time, there were still other customers in Lin Fengzhai, and right now, their eyes were all focused here.
"You duck has water! This famous Lin Fengzhai sells this kind of duck?" The middle-aged man looked at the rich and short shopkeeper with disdain, his eyes constantly looking at the rich and short shopkeeper.
"Otherwise, I'll invite you to this meal. I'll ask the kitchen guy to replace this duck for you later. You look at me a thin noodle, this matter is not right for me Lin Fengzhai. Please calm your anger. Although the shopkeeper is not a martial arts person, his decades of experience tell him that the man in front of him is here to make trouble.
If this matter had been left in the past, Lin Fengzhai would definitely have dealt with it secretly alone, but the man in front of him made him faintly feel the same coercion as the deacon elders of the Fu family. This made him very cautious about the matter.
"Treat? Aren't you burying me Xiang Ming? I'm the eighth master of Beichuan? I care about your treat? I'm just here to eat the overlord meal, what's the matter!" the man heard this, and then his attitude became cold.
He was a strong man invited by the Fu family, if it weren't for the big enough chips offered by the Fu family, he would definitely not go to the troubled waters of Pingzhou.
The eighth masterpiece of Beichuan!
When the shopkeeper heard this, his face changed, and he must know that the ten masters of Beichuan are all the best among their peers, and now he reports himself as the eighth master, so on the way to martial arts, at least it is the quenching bone realm!
Quenching the Bone Realm, in Pingzhou, only people above the elder level have this strength! Now the person at the moment may be even more powerful than the elders in Pingzhou, how can he not be frightened?
Lin Fengzhai, the atmosphere at this time also became sharp, when they heard about the eighth masterpiece of Beichuan, they all admired it, although this is Pingzhou, but the title of the ten masterpieces of Beichuan can be described as a thousand miles of fallacy.
Ten masters, among which the worst strength is the Quenching Bone Realm. The person with the highest strength has already reached the Qi Chong realm and entered the hidden sect.
"It's contemptible and wrong, I neglected you, you see, how can I remedy my little Lin Fengzhai?" The shopkeeper didn't care about face at this time, so it was the best policy to appease the uncle in front of him and send him away.
"This... Let me think about it, you get my duck first, I'm very hungry, sir!" Xiang Ming thought about it, his stomach was growling, and he had been busy establishing his majesty, but he forgot about eating.
When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes were relieved, and he knew that this demon god had let go of his small shop, so he arranged for the little servant to prepare this honorable man's lunch.
However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a headwind.
I saw that Qing'er and the others, who were shopping in the neighborhood before, walked into the store at some point, and happened to be sitting in the northwest corner, which was opposite to that Xiang Ming.
The two of them didn't know what had happened here before, so they saw Lin Fan and said, "Come on two ducks!" ”
"Good, good!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly responded.
Since the last Taihu Lake discussion, Lin Fan's reputation has spread all over Pingzhou. The most talented person of the Lei family was defeated by Lin Fan!
Lin Fan's arrival did not ease the tense atmosphere, but at this time, he was already hungry, and it was time to eat something after shopping with Qing'er for a while.
"Something seems to have happened here, Brother Fan!" Qing'er whispered to Lin Fan beside her.
I saw him shrug his shoulders and said lightly: "Let's eat ours, wait for a while, and then we have to go back to the clan." When they returned, their competition must have ended. ”
He had a hunch that if he stayed here for a long time, he might cause some trouble, but if he left directly, he was afraid that it would disturb Qing'er's interest.
After a while, Lin Fan's dishes and ducks were all on the same page. I saw the two of them, and began to gobble them up.
Xiang Ming's eyes, since Qing'er came in, were staring straight at her.
Now in Xiang Ming's heart, where does he care if he is a duck or not, being able to win the girl in front of him is what he thinks at this time.
When he first arrived in Pingzhou, where would he know Lin Qing'er's name?
Then he saw a wicked smile on his face, and got up and walked to Qing'er's side.
"Girl, your surname?"
Xiang Ming said with a smile, he has always been alone, but at this time, he was also moved.
Qing'er didn't pay attention to him, and was still chatting with Lin Fan there, as if this Xiang Ming never existed in front of her.
Seeing this, Xiang Ming's face turned into anger, only to see him pointing at Qing'er and saying, "Don't be embarrassed by your bitch! I will give you face and call you a girl, what are your intentions for turning a deaf ear to me?"
The shopkeeper had been not far away, and when he saw that this man had actually found Qing'er, he thought it was bad! So he hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"Master, you dissipate your anger. This is Miss Qing'er, Lin Qing'er of the Lin family. ”
Xiang Ming heard the voice, Lin Qing'er, what a Lin Qing'er. I didn't take him, the eighth masterpiece of Beichuan, in my eyes!
"You can die. Lin Fan spoke lightly, and his voice was surprisingly calm.
Well?
Xiang Ming was stunned, he didn't take Lin Fan in his eyes from beginning to end. In his opinion, the latter was just a Tongluo Realm! A hairy boy from the Tongluo Realm would dare to talk to him like this?
"Boy, who are you ashamed to talk to, do you know who I am?"
Xiang Ming said angrily. Only others have always been polite to him, and this is the first time he has been treated like this by others?
"Get out!"
Lin Fanming's heart was moving, and the aura contained in the word was terrifying, and the spiritual attack was also scattered.
Xiang Ming was a little stunned by this word, and his huge figure took a few steps back, and sat on the bench.
"You're looking for death!"
Xiang Ming was furious, obviously making a fool of himself in front of everyone, this was the first time for him. Then he exuded the coercion of the three realms of quenching bones, and the violence of his aura made Lin Fengzhai and the others have to run outside.
"It's over, it's still a fight!"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper collapsed on the ground.
"I want to see, what right do you have to speak to me like that?"
Xiang Ming laughed.
