After climbing up the mountain, Old Man Pei was surprised to find that there was a familiar figure barbecuing in a place where the terrain was relatively flat, slightly concave, and could block the wind on three sides.

I saw the man make a simple stove out of stones, and spread a layer of dead wood on top of it. After the dead wood is lit, it is a small stove, and the flame is slightly yellow and green, which is just right for barbecue.

At this time, the man skewered a sweet potato with a bamboo skewer and slowly rotated it close to the flames. The sweet potatoes are almost ripe, and the surface is black, but the enticing aroma is very strong, making people salivate.

When the two old men approached, the man naturally heard the movement, and then looked up, he was also a little surprised, but he showed a kind smile: "Uncle Pei, what a coincidence, you are here too?" ”

The half-bald old man swallowed his throat, turned around and asked, "Brother, do you know each other?" ”

"That's the master you admire...... old man Pei whispered, and then smiled: "Master Fang, it's really a place in life where you don't meet, it's really fateful to see you again." ”

"Yes, it's fate to be able to see you again." Fang Yuan smiled, then got up and greeted him, "Uncle Pei, have you eaten at noon?" Why not have a barbecue? ”

In the matter of eating, Fang Yuan would definitely not treat himself badly. There was a portable rack beside him, which was already filled with skewers of grilled meat. Lamb, beef, chicken thighs, duck legs, sausages and other slices of meat have been grilled and browned by him, and while they are shiny, they also exude an attractive aroma.

Even if Old Man Pei is not very hungry, but under the temptation of the aroma. I still couldn't help but swallow a little saliva. However, being a man requires being reserved, so he politely said: "How embarrassing is this......"

"What's embarrassing." The half-bald old man interrupted: "Since they are acquaintances, then they are acquaintances." Why be polite between friends? People invite warmly, but if you don't agree, you won't give face. Isn't it, Master Fang? ”

"Huh?" Fang Yuan was stunned, carefully looked at the half-bald old man for a moment, and vaguely felt a sense of déjà vu. For a moment, his heart moved. Then he chuckled and nodded: "Yes, there is so much food, I can't eat it alone." Can't afford to waste it. So I'd like to ask you two to do me a favor and sort them out for me. ”

"Well said, well said." The half-bald old man smiled and said, "This favor, we can help." ”

Between words. The half-bald old man dragged the old man Pei over. Then he didn't pay attention to it, he just sat cross-legged on the turf, took the mutton skewers handed by Fang Yuan, and bit them when he opened his mouth......

With a snort, the oil fragrance exploded in his mouth, making the half-bald old man sigh with satisfaction, and it was so beautiful that he felt in his heart.

Old Man Pei was not so anxious, but he also took a meat skewer. Take small sips and taste it. To be honest, Fang Yuan's craftsmanship wasn't necessarily that powerful. However, the meat skewers are full of weight, and there are many spices, and when they are grilled over low heat, the flavor comes out, making people feel very appetizing.

"Uncle, do you live nearby?" Fang Yuan asked curiously, biting a chicken leg while continuing to grill a grass carp. Salting, oiling, and sprinkling cumin, the movements are orderly and very skillful.

Old Man Pei shook his head and said, "No, isn't there a Zhuangzi over there, my friends and I want to go there for dinner...... By the way, Master Fang, didn't you say travel, I thought you had already left the town. ”

Between speaking, Old Man Pei showed a grateful smile: "Master Fang, you are too godly. After I followed your idea last night and added a zebra crossing to the highway, this morning's life in the shop was really prosperous, and the income doubled......"

"If it works." Fang Yuan chuckled and said: "But uncle, don't be too excited, the business must have been very prosperous in the first few days, but it will gradually stabilize, you must not weigh today's situation, lest you feel that there is a gap." ”

Fang Yuan cleverly ignored the question of why he hadn't left the town, because the town was the main traffic artery of several nearby cities, and he was now waiting for news in the town, once he found out the whereabouts of the clouds, he could rush over as soon as possible.

In other words, Fang Yuan has now become a killer weapon, just dispatch at a critical moment. However, after staying in the town for a long time, he also felt a little bored, and he felt that the weather was good today, so he ran out for a barbecue.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Pei and his friends actually came to smell the fragrance......

Although the town is not big, it is definitely not small, is it indeed fateful to meet again.

Anyway, Old Man Pei was very happy and kept expressing his gratitude. Although he didn't care how good the business was, after all, he had received a favor, and he still had the attitude he should have.

In the midst of the small talk, Fang Yuan felt that someone was observing him, and when his eyes turned, he fell on the half-bald old man next to him. There are only three of them on the whole mountain, and the old man Pei is chatting with himself, so there should be no one else who observes him except the half-bald old man.

However, what surprised Fang Yuan was that even if he found the half-bald old man observing him, he actually didn't mean to avoid it, a pair of slightly cloudy eyes, as if there was a little flash of light......

Seeing this situation, Fang Yuan smiled and asked, "This uncle, is there something wrong with you looking at me like this?" ”

"It's something." The half-bald old man nodded, and after swallowing a piece of meat, he directly wiped his greasy palm with a handful of hay, and then stroked his beard and said, "Young man, judging from your face, you seem to have encountered some trouble recently." There is a wisp of gray and black qi coiling around the life palace, if you are not careful, you may have an unforeseen disaster. ”

"Huh?" Fang Yuan was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What do you call your senior?" ”

"Fan, Fan Li's Fan." The half-bald old man smiled and said, "I have long admired Master Fang's name, thanks to your warm hospitality, so I said a few words, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

Fan ...... Fan Li ......" Fang Yuan thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said in surprise: "Mai Xiang Wang Fan Li? ”

Fan Li's eyes flashed, and he was also a little surprised: "Master Fang, do you know me?" ”

It's not that he is arrogant, you must know that he has gone into hiding many years ago, and there is no longer his name in the rivers and lakes. Except for some old friends who have a good relationship, and a few of his apprentices, there shouldn't be many people who know about him.

"Master Fan's name, I'm like thunder, how can I not know." Fang Yuan arched his hand and said, "It's really disrespectful." ”

To be honest, Fang Yuan was very surprised now, he didn't expect to be able to meet the strange person in the mouth of the Gu Yue Monk in this small town. He remembered that one day half a year ago, when he was chatting with Gu Yue, he happened to mention the physiognomy in Feng Shui.

There are categories such as physiognomy, phase bone, phase hand, phase mole, phase lying, phase walking, phase complexion, etc., among which physiognomy is the most complex, and many schools were born. Among the many genres, it is naturally the most famous and widely spread Mai goddess.

Speaking of Mai's appearance, Guyue Jushi took the opportunity to tell him a secret.

Although it is said that Mai Shenxiang is famous and widely spread, because there are too many people who learn Mai Shenxiang, it is naturally divided into large and small schools. Between the major branches, naturally no one is convinced by anyone, and the contradiction is not small.

However, more than 20 years ago, I don't know who mentioned yì, and planned to bring together the descendants of the various branches of Mai Shenxiang. Of course, it is not to unify Mai's gods, but to learn from each other's strengths, promote each other, and make progress together.

After all, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, some feudal superstitious knowledge was suppressed, and the inheritance of many schools was about to be broken. Some people of insight felt that this would not work, and after the social atmosphere was relaxed, they naturally organized this gathering to exchange ideas.

After understanding the purpose of the meeting, it is natural that the various schools are very actively involved. However, since it is an exchange and learning, it is reasonable to compete with each other.

And Fan Li sprung up at that party, one person and one mouthful, sweeping the audience, convincing the heirs of various genres, and sighing to himself. The name of Mai Xiang Wang spread at that time.

However, what is surprising is that Fan Li, who should have been very proud, quickly announced that he would retire and no longer care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. And he retired very simply, changed his household name, drilled into the station, and hid in the vast sea of people, and no one knew his whereabouts anymore.

At that time, Fang Yuan felt that this was not a big deal, after all, Fan Li's retreat when he was most proud of the scenery could also be called a brave retreat from the rapids, which belonged to a kind of wisdom of life. Han Zhangliang, Tang Lijing, Ming Liu Bowen, countless cases have been told to everyone, and it is a wise move to retire after success.

However, Gu Yue Jushi lightly told Fang Yuan that Fan was only forty years old when he returned to seclusion......

At the age of thirty-nine, he won the title of Xiangwang, even if he was not at the peak of his life, he was still in the ascending stage. But at the age of forty, he announced his retirement, which caused an uproar at the time, and there was a lot of speculation, and various conspiracy theories were very marketable, causing a lot of turmoil.

However, time is enough to smooth out a qiē, more than 20 years have passed, and naturally not many people remember the beautiful Xiangwang back then. Even if someone knows, it is estimated that it will be regarded as an anecdote and a legendary story, and they will be suspicious.

"Hey, I'm a bad old man, I don't have a big name."

At this time, Fan Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's Master Fang, that's the real reputation of the Wuxuan Shi, as soon as he makes a move, he reverses the feng shui shape and recreates the ......."

Fan Li said this from the bottom of his heart, when he heard his apprentice talk about Fang Yuan's deeds, he was still a little skeptical, thinking that it was a bit exaggerated. But when he saw the situation of the shop just now, he no longer had the slightest doubt. Fame can be faked, and it can be publicized through guò hype. But the strength is absolutely not fake, and it can't tolerate a little bit of water at all.

What's even more rare is that Fan Li didn't find the slightest bit of arrogance in Fang Yuan that matched his fame.

As a person who has come over, Fan Li knows very well that when he is famous enough to a certain extent and is touted and elevated, then a sense of superiority will definitely arise in his heart, which will make people unconsciously become proud...... (To be continued......)
