Hook-billed duck is a kind of special hemp duck native to Linwu County, Chenzhou, with delicate meat and delicious taste, especially the local duck stocked in the local rural pond has the best taste. Bloody Duck is a dish in the mountainous area of Hunan, made of glutinous rice and duck blood into small pieces of glutinous rice and duck blood, slightly fried with oil and slightly crispy on the surface, and then simmered in a pot with duck meat, the taste is particularly fragrant.

Although Chenzhou is very close to Guangdong, the eating habits are obviously Hunan flavor, a local specialty of a kind of chili pepper, put in the blood baba duck as a seasoning, the duck meat is simmered and spicy. The duck surname is cool to nourish the shade and remove dryness, while the chili pepper is to remove moisture, the climate here is hot and humid, and the traditional flavors of various places are not formed by chance, more or less related to the environmental feng shui in a broad sense.

In the winter, he ordered a pot of steaming bloody hook-billed duck, Liu Li threw off his chopsticks and ate it with relish, and You Fang secretly said in his heart that Master's mouth was really tricky. He didn't eat less himself, although it was the first month, and his head was sweating when he ate at the end, and he was full of burps and wiped his sweat, and it was so comfortable to touch his stomach!

After this meal, the old man was about to leave, he put down his chopsticks and took a sip of wine and said, "Apprentice, do you have anything else to say before you leave?" ”

You Fang took out the old plate used by Lei Faxuan and handed it over: "Your old man wants to help the Thousand Cups Daoist, and this plate will be given to your old companion to add some help, I think you also like it, and always borrow it." ”

Liu Li was also not polite, took the compass and said with a smile: "My old man is well-informed, and I don't know how many good compasses I have seen, but they are not as good as you, so I naturally like it." Master, I don't covet your things, I just take them for fun and return them to you when the time comes. ”

You Fang took the opportunity to ask, "Master, I don't know when you will be able to meet when you leave, how can the disciple find you if he has something?" ”

Liu Li: "What are you looking for me for, if there is something, I will go to you." ”

You Fang: "You can't say that, if the disciple misses your old man, and he encounters something delicious and fun and wants to honor your old man, there must be a way to send a message, right?" ”

Liu Li smiled, looking very happy: "It makes sense to say this, I'll leave you an address." He asked the waiter to ask for a pen and paper, wrote an address, and asked You Fang to burn it after reading it.

You Fang was stunned: "You always live in Yucheng, this is your house?" ”

Liu Li: "What's so strange about this, do you think that when my old man doesn't walk the rivers and lakes, he sleeps in the open air?" Tell you, it's my lair, and it's impossible for anyone who isn't close to me to know it. If you have something to do, go there and look for me, and if I'm not at home, don't break through the door. ”

You Fang nodded: "How dare the disciple break into your old empty door, who knows what ambush is in your house?" But according to the disciple, how can you contact you if you are not at home? ”

Liu Li: "My trail is uncertain, and the earth masters of the past dynasties are naturally the gods and dragons, and it is really difficult to find." But recently I want to go to the Fengmen faction to walk around and brighten, the whereabouts are not difficult to know, if you can't find me in Yucheng, go to the Qingcheng Mountain Stacking Sect to ask about the news of the Jianghu Fengmen, maybe you can get clues. ”

You Fang stood up: "Disciple remember, let me send you to the old man's home." ”

Liu Li also stood up, slapped his hand on the apprentice's shoulder, this palm has internal strength but does not hurt people, the strength is very skillful, just put You Fang pat down on the chair but it is not broken, and said: "Don't mention this word, my old man doesn't need you to send it, continue to sit and eat slowly, don't waste the meat in the pot, don't forget to check out, go first for the teacher." ”

You Fang was caught off guard by the old man's slap and his whole body was sore, and he couldn't stand up for a long time, so he had to watch Liu Li leave. Looking at the master's back, he suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart, and his nose was a little sour, the master really wanted to let him go and let him travel the rivers and lakes, but he had inexplicable sadness and reluctance.

……

Liu Li is really leaving, this trip to Chenzhou, he is very satisfied with You Fang's performance, this apprentice is stronger than the previous eight descendants, and now he has at least the ability to protect himself when he walks the rivers and lakes, and he will not suffer easily, and he can learn a lot by touching the class, although he did not praise too much in his mouth, but he was very happy in his heart.

Since he was seriously injured decades ago, Liu Li has not been able to fully recover his heyday skills, so his whereabouts are very strange, and he deliberately maintains a sense of mystery when he sees the beginning and the end. Now that he wants to come out and walk around, he will first go to see the Qianbei Daoist, and by the way, he will visit the Diezhang Sect, and release the news through the mouth of the Diezhang Sect: The contemporary earth master Yu Wei is still there, and there are already heirs.

Who is this heir? Hehe, Liu Li won't say, this is both a protection and a deterrent. The visible deterrence is just one person, he is covered in iron and can hit a few nails, but the invisible deterrence is ubiquitous.

When the Qianbei Daoist saw "Mei Lander", he guessed that the other party might be the successor of a generation of earth masters, so Liu Li wanted to meet him, so he didn't have to publicize it in private, and at the same time used the mouth of the Qianbei Taoist to pass the news to the Jianghu Fengmen.

……

After eating, You Fang went straight to the train station, but did not leave Chenzhou immediately, but deliberately bought another travel bag, and began to visit the nearby shops selling souvenirs, and saw a lot of local specialty mineral crystals, colorful and exquisite. After buying such a big bag, he planned to do a good search, but to his disappointment, he didn't buy a single one!

Not all mineral crystals had a special surname that was unique to the secret techniques of Feng Shui, at least in all the souvenir shops around the train station, he didn't see anything similar to the swallowtail twin crystal in the couple's hands. The world is such a coincidence, the couple got off the train, and unintentionally bought the only piece of mineral crystal in the vicinity that can be called a formation weapon.

The things around the train station are expensive, but after the price, a swallowtail double crystal is only sold for ten yuan, if it is all that kind of spade, you are willing to buy as much as you want!

Coming out of the train station, You Fang began to call the information desk, and at the same time found an Internet café to check the local information, and throughout the afternoon he went to almost all the shops selling mineral crystal souvenirs in Chenzhou City, and even went to the wholesale stores specializing in specialty products in the suburbs, spending about 300 yuan, buying more than 50 spars, which were selected from tens of thousands of spars.

He couldn't choose at all with ordinary methods, and every time he went to a store, he carried out a divine sense scan, carefully not touching any breath in the environment, just sensing the unique surname of each spar, and pretending to buy it casually. Of course, he has his intentions to be so careful, and there are no fellow fans who also choose spars here, maybe there are people from Songhegu Xiangjia, You Fang is reluctant to show his hiding, and he is also very careful to shake off all possible tails after going out of the store.

If it weren't for the fact that he had completely recovered his spirit last night, he wouldn't have been able to hold on to it this afternoon, just in terms of the subtlety of the control of his divine sense, You Fang could be called a first-class master today, which made him very labor-saving when choosing spars, Rao was so, after buying more than fifty spars, he was also almost exhausted, this was a silent huge consumption, no less than fighting with a master.

The mineral crystals he selected had different surnames, but the various types of earth qi condensed were very pure and almost free of interference, and according to the different types of crystals, their effects in the feng shui circle were also different, and they needed to be carefully pondered. The colorless and transparent dovetail double crystal, the surname is pure and clear, and it does not contain any yin, yang, anger, and evil energy, but it has the characteristics of separating the environment and earth, and it should be the most widely used.

If you don't have spiritual or divine sense, just use the eyes of ordinary people to distinguish, these mineral crystals are without exception the purest quality: the natural crystal shape is the most standard, without a trace of flaws and deviations, the crystal does not contain any superfluous impurities, no matter what color is uniform and pure, and there is no crack or bubble.

This is not a man-made thing, but in the natural environment for hundreds of millions of years of natural formation, the use of this kind of thing must be careful, if accidentally broken or bruised, its special surname will be greatly reduced. So you bought it with the package, filled with a big travel bag, and carried it heavily in your hand.

There is no way to find it anymore, on the one hand, he can't just exhaust his divine energy and put himself in an unknown danger, on the other hand, the useful spars in Chenzhou City have also been looted by him, even if there are fish that have slipped through the net, it is estimated that there are only a few pieces. Strangely, You Fang didn't meet a fellow master, he almost went to the entire Chenzhou City shop that sold spars, not even an ordinary disciple who had mastered spiritual sense.

When it was dark, You Fang was about to find a place to recuperate for the night, at least recover six or seven points of strength before leaving, and he suddenly understood why by the North Lake.

An ordinary disciple who has only mastered spiritual consciousness, even an ordinary master who has mastered divine consciousness, it is impossible for him to select spars in Chenzhou City like him, and he can't find a few pieces of it if he is exhausted. If it was a master like Xiang Zuohu, it would be impossible for him to do this kind of "hard work" in person, and he walked around the city just to find a few spars, which was not enough for his disciples.

Moreover, if this kind of spar is not used carelessly, the power of the magic circle may be damaged if it is overrun, and the object cannot be repaired, so it is also a consumable. Only one of the nearly a thousand hedron can be used, and after searching the city once, it is impossible to find it a second time for a long time, so it is impossible to buy it in the store for a long time in this way, unless it is an occasional purchase of one or two.

If they want to obtain enough useful spars for a long time, the only and best way is to directly contact various mineral fields and purchase the purest quality, the best and most complete shape, and the mineral crystals with no impurities or cracks inside. Then pull it back into a car, and then sort and select it by a special person in the sect, and even process it yourself, which seems to cost a lot of money, but it is the most economical and effective method.

You Fang guessed well, the secret method inheritance faction on the rivers and lakes collects all kinds of useful mineral crystals, all of which are used in this way, and no one runs to the shops in the city to try their luck, which is both laborious and unflattering. The Xiang family in Songhe Valley has its own industry, contracting several mines, not only opening mines to make money, but also sending masters to supervise the excavation of available mineral crystals and assist disciples in practicing feng shui formations.

None of the other secret method inheritance factions have such good conditions as Xiangjia, so Songhegu Xiangjia is known as the first feng shui formation. Mineral crystals are not unique to Chenzhou, but at the intersection of the Luoxiao Mountains and the Nanling Mountains, the yield of such mineral crystals is the largest and the best quality, which obviously exceeds other places.

Fellow Taoists in the rivers and lakes who want this kind of mineral crystal, they often go to Xiangjia to buy it, or exchange it for other useful secret artifacts, it is too laborious to find it by themselves, ordinary disciples can hardly do it, and top masters disdain it. In the past, it was not that no one tried their luck in the Chenzhou area to collect around, but the harvest was very small, which was equivalent to asking for hardship, and there were many people who came, and the useful spars in the shops in the city had long been looted, so no one had done this for several years, but today it was for you to pick a big bargain.

That is to say, You Fang, a lone master who has no door and no faction, but his physical strength and energy are far superior to others, and the subtlety of his divine sense is also first-class, so he will be stupid to find so many usable spars in Chenzhou City, and inspect tens of thousands of mineral crystals with his divine sense in one afternoon. Little wanderers also have times when they do stupid things, but it is rare for a fool to have a foolish fortune.

Even the Songhe Valley Xiang family only has hundreds of such spars in their hands every year, and more than half of them are accidentally damaged and consumed when their disciples practice feng shui formations. And the pocket of more than 50 spars that You Fang bought only cost more than 300 yuan, if you get the major secret method inheritance sects, you can exchange for a lot of good things, and you can also sell a lot of money. People who have the ability are never afraid of running out of food!

At this moment, You Fang didn't know the situation, and he was still frustrated there-how did he find such a point after spending an afternoon walking around the city almost exhausted? Liu Li knew his apprentice very well, and knew what he would do as soon as he left the little wanderer, but he deliberately didn't make it clear, it was estimated that the old man was secretly having fun in his heart.

There is another thing that You Fang is frustrated, he picked more than 50 spars, there are many varieties, including swallowtail double crystal Mingjing stone, swallowtail double crystal fragrant flower stone, crystal wolframite, magnesite, cubic fluorite, ninety-nine to one cluster crystal, all kinds of calcite crystals, wheel crystals, layered calcite and so on, with different surnames and uses.

But one of the best quality and most versatile is a swallowtail double-crystal clear stone, only the other one in the hands of the couple can be compared, he took so much effort to find one, but the same one was bought by useless idlers, where to reason?

After recuperating and pranayama by the North Lake for a night, he still realized the ethereal state of sitting and forgetting taught by Liu Li, but the effect of restoring his spirit this time was far less than last night, on the one hand, because the consumption of You Fang Lian was too great, and no one could stand such repeated tossing in a short period of time. On the other hand, his state of mind was also affected by the environment, and he felt so many chaotic objects in his consciousness in the afternoon, and he also carried a large bag of mineral crystals with their own pure surnames but completely different from each other by his side, and it was difficult to enter the ethereal state of mind.

As soon as the sky was bright in the early morning, You Fang went to the train station with a travel bag and a big travel bag, and finally went back to Guangzhou, and Tu Su's little girl should also start school. Thinking of Tu Su, You Fang couldn't help but smile gently, and his mood became relaxed and comfortable.

In fact, his mood has been very bad in the past few days, not to mention that even the fatigue is contaminated with bad spirits, and when he encounters those things in a place like Hongbin Industrial Park, he can't be in a good mood, and he feels inexplicably lost when he goes to Chenzhou and the master, and the search for an afternoon is almost exhausted again, these three days and three nights, both mentally and physically exhausted.

Even if You Fang is iron-beaten, I am afraid that he will not be able to slow down for a while, and only when he thinks of the cozy nest where he "cohabited" with Tu Su, he will unconsciously smile. He even couldn't wait to go back and eat the dinner made by the little girl, although it was not as delicious as the bloody hook-billed duck, but it felt the most comfortable, and then I heard her call Brother You Fang, which was the most relaxed state of body and mind.

The travel bag in his hand was quite large and heavy, and the various colored crystals packed in transparent clinker shells were still very empty when they were huddled together, and they made a rattling sound when they shook it. He didn't worry about being discovered by fellow Jianghu people, because so many pure but different things were piled together, but they annihilated each other's scattered breath, and even You Fang's own divine consciousness couldn't clearly distinguish it.

At this time, he didn't know very well, which is a bag of stones, it's a big bag of RMB! If all of them are exchanged for 100 yuan bills, they will be full enough to fit them. He knew that these things were useful, but he didn't think they were extremely valuable, after all, they were only bought for more than three hundred yuan.

If there is a master of the Jianghu Wind Gate who knows this scene, the valuation will be surprised that even the jaw is about to fall, one or two pieces of Feng Shui secret mineral crystals are not particularly precious and hard to find, but so many varieties and different uses of the spars, just casually carried in the hand and around, I really have never seen it. This kid doesn't take things as things too much, alas, he is worthy of being a generation of earth teachers, chic!

At the Chenzhou Railway Station, You Fang saw a middle-aged couple handing out leaflets with Qi Rong on their faces, looking for their son who had run away from home and was missing. You Fang received a leaflet, on which the missing person was a 17-year-old young man from the countryside of Hunan, who followed his fellow villagers to Guangdong to work, but later disappeared, it is said that he followed someone to do big business, and someone last saw him at the Chenzhou railway station.

The couple's faces were full of wind and frost, and their eyes were full of anxiety and almost dazed expectation, which made people very unbearable to watch. You Fang had seen this look on Lin Yin's face, but the situation of this missing teenager was obviously different from Li Qiuping. This kind of "case" happens from time to time in the south, Tu Su was almost abducted at the Guangzhou Railway Station, is the big boy also abducted?

Was it abducted, or entered a pyramid scheme, or joined a criminal organization, or had an accident? These are all possible, you wrote down the contents of the flyer, if you happen to encounter it in the travel of the rivers and lakes, just help notify it by the way.

At about half past ten in the morning, you returned to the "home" near Kang Yuan, the security door was not locked, and he stretched out his hand to push it open. It should be that Tu Su has returned, but he forgot to lock the door in broad daylight. Maybe it's because the consumption of divine consciousness in the past few days is too large, maybe it's because the interference of the property name of a pocket of spars is too strong, maybe it's because he is already too familiar here, and You Fang didn't detect any abnormalities with his divine sense.

As soon as he pushed the door, he shouted excitedly: "Little girl, I'm back!" When you are alone at home, how can you forget to lock the door, what about the bad people who come in? ”

But I didn't hear the crisp and pleasant "Brother You Fang" that I was expecting, and as soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man walked out of Tu Su's room, he was wearing a slightly thick cotton suit in the winter in Guangzhou, his hair was slightly gray, his temperament was very elegant, but his eyes were scrutinizing, and he asked very politely: "Are you You Fang's classmate?" ”

You Fang was completely stunned, but after only half a second, he reacted, and quickly nodded and greeted: "Hello Uncle Tu!" ”
