In Kong Long's greeting, the old man in the courtyard didn't seem to hear it, and continued to read in the rocking chair. Kong Long didn't dare to urge, let alone repeat his mouth, but lowered his head and waited quietly.

After a long time, the rocking chair stopped, and the old man put down the book in his hand and said lightly, "Come in." ”

Kong Long's face was happy, and he hurriedly pushed open the fence and bamboo door, walked briskly to the courtyard, came to the old man, and then stood with his hands down, looking like he was listening to a lesson.

"Do you know it's wrong?" The old man asked, his voice kind, without the slightest hint of sternness.

Despite this, Kong Long's body was shocked, but he didn't dare to quibble, but nodded seriously: "Old Ancestor, I know it's wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" The old man asked again, tepidly.

Such an attitude also made Kong Long muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "I shouldn't borrow the name of the Kong family and let the reputation of the Kong family be disgraced." Obviously, someone else is calculating Aishiqi, but I took this matter on my own selfishness, and others thought that this matter was done by the children of the Confucian family, and they had a bad opinion of the Confucian family......"

"You're wrong." The old man interrupted: "You are you, the Kong family is the Kong family, and the reputation of the Kong family is supported by thousands of Kong family members, and it will not be prosperous because of you alone, nor will it be ruined because of you alone." The Confucian family's signboard is not so weak, if you take things on your body, it is your own reputation that is ruined, and others will never have any bad opinion of the Confucian family. ”

The old man's tone was indifferent, but full of strong confidence. This kind of self-confidence is built on a period of more than 2,000 years. After hundreds of generations of painstaking management, the reputation of the Kong family has become unbreakable, at least not shaken by one or two things.

on this. Kong Long also thought so, but then he was confused, if this thing was right, then where was he wrong?

"What is known is known, and what is not known is not known." The old man shook his head and said, "You keep saying that you are wrong, but you don't know where you are wrong, and you are wrong on top of wrong." Sure enough, it's really wrong. ”

This was a bit rappy, but Kong Long understood it and frowned. "Old Ancestor, you mean, I shouldn't have gone to Fang Yuan's troubles?" ”

"Wrong again." The old man sighed and said, "Where did you run away with your usual cleverness, why haven't you opened your mind?" ”

"Uh......" Kong Long blinked. The brain spins at high speed. Suddenly, he was clever and hesitated: "Old Ancestor, my biggest mistake is that I found trouble with Fang Yuan, but I didn't succeed?" ”

The old man rolled the book in, slapped his palms, and nodded, "Well, it's not stupid to get home." You should know. Your ancestor and I have never suffered anyone's losses in my life, but I have planted a few times on a guy surnamed Xiao. I'll forget it. Now even my children and grandchildren are following in the footsteps, do you think this is wrong? ”

Kong Long laughed, but he didn't dare to answer whether it was or not, so he had to be vague and resigned, but he couldn't help but justify himself: "Ancestor, in fact, I didn't lose, but I had some concerns and didn't dare to make a big deal ......."

"Plant it, plant it, don't make any excuses." The old man's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "In the case that you have the upper hand, people can turn the shape of the person into a victory, this kind of ability is even better than you, and you are not unjustly defeated." ”

Kong Long was silent, and then nodded slowly: "Yes, I'm not as good as him." ”

"Yes, the children can be taught." The old man's expression softened: "If you don't even dare to face your own weakness, then just wait for your life to be immersed in his shadow, and there will be no chance to catch up." ”

While speaking, the old man's words changed and he said with relief: "Of course, the guy surnamed Xiao is a demon, and his heir is a freak, and it is not a shame that you lost to a freak." Only by knowing shame can you move forward, so work hard. ”

"Yes!" Kong Long nodded heavily, and then puzzled: "Old Ancestor, we have obviously investigated clearly, Fang Yuan and Xiao Immortal have no chance of contact at all, why do you unanimously believe that he is the descendant of Xiao Immortal?" ”

"Boy, you don't understand." The old man looked up at the sky, his eyes were far and deep: "The guy surnamed Xiao is very cunning and cunning, and his mantle and robe are not something that anyone can put on his body." In addition to himself, only his heirs could use that robe unharmed. ”

"But ......" Kong Long was still a little skeptical.

"No, but." The old man interrupted again, and his eyes fell on Kong Long: "Kong Long, I know that you and Kong Zhang have a deep brotherhood, and you want to act as a pioneer and pave the way for him." But you should understand that there is never a broad road to go on the road of seeking the Tao, and how can you reach the pinnacle without experiencing ups and downs, wind, frost, rain and snow. ”

"What's more, life is lonely, and opponents are hard to find. Fang Yuan is the whetstone of Kong Zhang, and vice versa. Who is the knife and who is the stone, between the sharpening, can reveal the final answer. ”

The old man's body strained slightly, shook the chair again, and said leisurely: "In short, this matter is just natural, and you don't need to worry about it anymore." Otherwise, let Kong Zhang know, he will definitely complain about you being nosy. ”

Kong Long's expression froze, and then he nodded reluctantly: "Ancestor, I know, but it's ......."

"Alright." The old man said lightly: "That's it." ”

"Yes!" Kong Long nodded and retreated.

At the same time, Fang Yuan and the others also got on the plane and arrived in Quanzhou smoothly. After getting off the airport, he said goodbye to Cai Jian and others and went home separately.

After going out for a trip and returning home for half a month, Fang Yuan also felt that the home was very warm and kind. Of course, the most important thing is that the harvest is not small, and his mood is naturally extraordinarily comfortable.

When he got home, he went to his room and took out half of the dragon disk and two artifact fragments to study. On closer inspection, Fang Yuan vaguely noticed that there was indeed a very close connection between the dragon plate and the fragment.

Anyway, next to the dragon plate, the two fragments were a little impatient, especially the residual aura on the fragments, which suddenly became very active, circling around the sky above the dragon plate.

Between the qi and the machine, the inside of the half dragon plate is more slightly shiny, and the cross-section is also a little like the starlight in the dark night sky, which is extraordinary.

Seeing this situation, Fang Yuan was thoughtful and even more surprised. Because after his research, he found that the texture of the steel flower on the section of the broken edge of the dragon plate seemed to be a line like a feng shui array.

If his conjecture is true, then the value of the dragon plate can also be imagined.

Think about it, the dragon plate is integrated, it is a whole piece of metal melted and cast, how many times does it need to be folded and forged repeatedly before it forms a feng shui array inside? In the meantime, how much technical content is contained, and how many generations of feng shui masters have explored and accumulated from generation to generation to master such a stunt?

In the process of metal folding and forging, the nodes generated by the overlapping of folds and patterns are the nodes of the feng shui array. A simplest feng shui bureau requires at least a dozen nodes to be "inlay" in the corresponding position inside the metal. And these positions need to be very precise, without the slightest deviation, to be able to form a feng shui array.

The problem is that the feng shui array contained inside the dragon plate must not be a simple feng shui array, from the steel flower line points on the broken edge section, Fang Yuan can know that this feng shui array must be extremely complex. Even if you draw it with a pen on paper, it will probably take a lot of thought, let alone forging it inside the metal.

From this, Fang Yuan can also imagine that when casting the dragon plate, hundreds or thousands of great feng shui masters must have been gathered, and they were asked to study day and night, exhaustively, and forget to sleep and eat, and dozens of large houses were piled up just by the design drafts.

Not only that, but at the time of formal casting, it occupied a large factory, mobilized thousands of miners and blacksmiths, and then smelted hundreds of thousands of catties of gold, silver, copper and iron materials. After experiencing countless failures, this accidental result was produced in the inevitability, and the dragon disk was finally born.

It can be said that this dragon plate is the brainchild of countless people, and it is also a masterpiece of the collision of the wisdom sparks of countless feng shui masters. Such a thing can no longer be called a treasure magic weapon, the creation of heaven and earth can be called a magic workmanship, and the name of the artifact is appropriate.

In fact, when he saw half of the dragon plate, Fang Yuan had such a premonition, so he was excited, knowing that it would definitely be troublesome to help Ai Shiqi solve the problem, but he couldn't resist such a temptation.

However, when he really put the dragon plate in his hand, Fang Yuan felt ...... It's worth it!

"It's a pity that it's only half a piece, if it's a real dragon plate, what kind of style should it be......" Fang Yuan sighed, somewhat greedy and insufficient. However, it is human nature to have to make inches, and it is understandable.

Fang Yuan continued to watch and study the dragon plate, he felt that not many people should know the secret of the dragon plate. Otherwise, I don't know how many feng shui masters flocked to compete with him for this artifact.

"Maybe everyone has been influenced by the inherent concept, and always feels that no matter how powerful the dragon plate is, it can't get out of the category of magic weapons, and it's still a broken dragon plate, so naturally they don't pay enough attention to it......"

Fang Yuan pondered for a while, and felt that the main reason was that Aishiqi's great-grandfather was secretive enough, so that it would be passed down from generation to generation without incident. However, when he was in the hands of Ai Shiqi, he was not a feng shui master after all, even if he knew that things were valuable, he did not feel that they were so valuable that he could not give them up, and naturally contributed them without hesitation for his own selfish interests.

Anyway, with the dragon plate in hand, Fang Yuan must have been in a very comfortable mood, and after studying it for a few days, his joy slowly faded, and he began to focus on the company's affairs again.

After all, people always have to live, and it is impossible to focus on one thing for a long time. There are ups and downs, there are mountains and valleys, this is the norm. For example, the company's affairs are like this, after a round of rapid development, the business has entered a stable period, in a state of abundant profits, but tepid.

"It's a bottleneck." After Bao Longtu investigated, Zhizhu said: "If this bottleneck is broken, then our company will definitely go to the next level and usher in a new round of development." If you can't break through, then you can only keep the current one-third of an acre of land and live a ......" (to be continued......
