On this occasion, you can see the importance of the amount of wine, you party is not refused, toast with every toaster, young but very hearty and generous, very affinity. As a predecessor of Fengmen, he appeared in front of his colleagues for the first time, and the impression left by a series of foreshadowing before the appearance and after appearing was very good.

This is not only Sun Fengbo's unintentional "contribution" and Xiang Yinghua's "help", but also Qianbei Daoren's intentional "Xinggang", of course, although the little wanderer is not very old, he is already an old fritter in the rivers and lakes, and all kinds of scenes can be covered.

He already knew what the Thousand Cup Daoist had done when he came to Songhe Valley a few days ago, and he knew in his heart that this elder should have met with Master Liu Li, understood his details, and specially rushed to help him, but in front of everyone, he never had the opportunity to ask in detail. Xiang Xiaoli was worried that You Fang would not be able to drink at the beginning of his injury, and finally discouraged a lot of toasts on the side, but more than 30 visitors and dozens of core disciples of the Xiang family took turns to toast, and You Fang really didn't drink less.

But except for the slight sweat on his forehead, his eyes are clear and his expression has not changed, and the amount is admirable! In fact, You Fang also deliberately controlled it, it is absolutely impossible to drink too much in this place, not to mention the accident like "playing with fire" last time, even if some things are slightly talked about, it is a big trouble.

With so many visitors, almost all the Qing cultivation places in Songhe Valley are full, and it is not good for Youfang, a senior, to live in Xiangjia Village outside the valley, otherwise it would be too rude, Xiang Xiaoli thought about how to arrange it for a long time, but Xiang Yinghua took the initiative to give up his home's place.

Don't get me wrong, Xiang Yinghua didn't let You Fang live with her, her Qingxiu courtyard is in a bamboo forest in Dongshan, and not far to the right is the courtyard where the master of Songhe Valley lives, and it is also the place where the affairs of the door are handled, and now the Xiong family also lives there. And there is a quiet courtyard closer to the left, where Xiang Zuohu practiced when he was young, and later became the master of the door, and is still practicing the secret method there.

Xiang Zuohu's whereabouts are unknown, but no one can say that he is gone, this yard has been cleaned up very clean and empty, and Xiang Yinghua asked You Fang to live there, which can be regarded as a very respectful reception.

You Fang refused, at first Xiang Yinghua thought that he was out of politeness and modesty, and after a few words of persuasion, he found that the attitude of "Melander" was very resolute, and she was a little strange, but she was not reluctant. According to the tour party's own meaning, in the guest house at the foot of the West Mountain, he was a companion with the Thousand Cup Daoist.

Since You Fang entered Songhe Valley, he always couldn't help but think of Xiang Zuohu, he had a ghost in his heart, and he was ashamed in front of Xiang Yinghua, how could he dare to live in Xiang Zuohu's house again? On the other hand, there are some things that you have to find an opportunity to ask the Qianbei Taoist in private.

……

"Dao Chief, haven't you drunk enough after drinking all night?" You Fang and Qianbei sat in front of the window and talked, with their identities and cultivation, they naturally wouldn't worry about someone eavesdropping.

Qianmu put down the wine gourd in his hand: "This night, everyone toasted around you, I didn't drink much, didn't you see the end, I didn't pour the wine into the cup, did you pour it into the gourd?" It's nice to be young and handsome! ”

You Fang smiled: "Why does the Dao Elder say that about me? You are not very old, you are in the prime of life, and you are also a fairy wind Dao bone weapon Yu Xuanang, wherever you go, you can dump a girl. ”

Qianbei glared at him: "Have you boasted about your family so much?" Don't choke on me! ”

You Fang: "I think the Taoist both drinks wine and eats meat, so he shouldn't be a true Taoist." ”

Qianbei: "That's also a monk, so naturally there are precepts, anyway, you can't just go to a nightclub." You refuse the kindness of the girl to the Xiang family today, and you have to come to me to join in the fun, just to talk about this? …… Do you know how envious those guys at the banquet were when Xiang Yinghua invited you to live in that place? It's right next door to the yard where she lives. ”

You Fang laughed dryly: "That's the respect of the Xiang family for my predecessor status, and there is no other place to arrange, but I don't dare to think too highly of myself, otherwise it will be easy to offend people." …… In fact, tonight I wanted to find an opportunity to ask the chief, after I left, did you meet any fellow seniors in Hongbin Industrial Park? ”

This is clearly an allusion to Liu Li, and the Qianbei Taoist laughed dryly: "There are some things, you and I know well, don't mention it if you can, this is the way to be cautious." ”

You Fang arched his hand: "Thank you for your advice!" Let's put it another way, I just returned from overseas, and some things have been heard but not very clear, may I ask the chief if you have heard of the contemporary earth master Liu Li? ”

Qianbei snorted and laughed: "I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it, if you ask those people who are sitting at the same table tonight, who doesn't know the name of the Earth Qi Sect Master?" Everything you hear overseas is true. ”

You Fang asked again: "I have always had a question that I want to ask someone for, that Liu Li's predecessor is also flesh and blood, not three heads and six arms, even if the cultivation is high, how can he have such a prestigious name, I saw the same way as Fengmen, even if it was out of ridicule, there was awe in the words?" ”

Qianbei Taoist stopped smiling, and said solemnly: "It's not just about the person, but about the identity and morality he represents, as for Liu Li's predecessor himself, he really did it back then, no matter how jealous he was in private, the same people in the rivers and lakes have nothing to say." Do you think that no one in the Nine Star Sect hates you, even if the head of the Nine Star Sect, Shen Shen, is pure in his surname and is not entangled in affairs and mood, will the rest of the Nine Star Sect think like this?

Poor Dao thinks it's impossible! But you killed Sun Fengbo, it was logical to kill him, in front of all the factions of the Jianghu Fengmen, he came with dignity, and he was only welcomed and respected, and the Nine Star Sect could only express his sincerity and convincing, this is where the reason lies. As for other things in private, you have to be careful.

After Liu Li was injured decades ago, when his skills were no longer at his peak, although he could still shock the rivers and lakes, his whereabouts were erratic and strange, and he naturally had his troubles.

People in the rivers and lakes, no matter whether they do something or not, what they will think and what they will do, they all have their own settings in their hearts. If it's your brother Mei or my thousand cups, naturally there is no need to be afraid. But there are always some people who set themselves up as Sun Fengbo, Li Dongping and the like, although they are not Sun Fengbo and Li Dongping, and the earth master will look for him in the future, but they are always like a man.

This burden is not easy to pick, and the gains and losses are only clear to the descendants of the earth master themselves. Liu Li has endured for more than 60 years, and there are many turbulences in the world, especially in recent decades, which have changed too much, and it is impossible for people in the rivers and lakes not to be involved in the torrent of this era.

Li Dongping, Sun Fengbo and others have emerged in an endless stream recently, and the rivers and lakes also need to be vigilant and introspective. Liu Li's predecessors still have unfinished duties, so it's good that you can understand them, and I won't say much about the poor road. ”

Qianbei Daoist said something meaningful, and finally came a sentence: "Brother Rand, in fact, I admire you a lot, this is the truth and not a compliment, otherwise what would I do in Songhe Valley?" Then he opened the flask and drank silently in the moonlight in front of the window.

You Fang stood up and bowed: "I understand, thank you Dao Chief!" ”

Then the two of them stopped talking, as if they were thinking about something, and after a long time, the Qianbei Taoist suddenly asked: "Let's not be a stuffy gourd, we have said what we should say, let's find something interesting to do." Since you have come to Songhe Valley, of course you have to participate in the ancestral ancestor worship ceremony the day after tomorrow, it is rare to have this kind of eye-opening opportunity, what are you going to do in the past two days? In addition to making friends with fellow factions, can't you just sit in the valley and drink in vain? ”

You Fang thought for a moment: "I want to see the nearby spar mines. ”

Qianbei Taoist hehe: "What, help others to mine?" You are not a miner, and as your senior, you can't let Xiang family accompany you to drill into the mine. ”

You Fang: "If you don't enter the mine, you just want to see the mountains and rivers in the area of various special feng shui secret mineral crystals, and see what is unique about the distribution of mineral veins, and maybe you will get something." ”

Qianbei Daoist nodded: "Well, this is a serious matter, I propose with you that they accompany the two of us to have a look tomorrow." ”

Originally, I thought that this matter was still a little difficult, and the Xiang family might not be willing to agree, but the next morning, several colleagues of the Xiong family were also very interested, and asked to go out of the valley to the nearby area to enjoy the scenery. Especially a few young people, they have been in the valley for half a month, and their own family is also mining a mine, as a cultivator of Feng Shui secret method, they are naturally very interested in the geo-qi exploration of various mineral veins.

Fellow practitioners from other sects present heard that they were going out of the valley to "enjoy the mountains and rivers", and they were also very interested, and a bunch of people wanted to join in the fun. Xiang Xiaoli saw that everyone's interest was very high, waved his hand, and said happily: "Then let's organize a tour group today, I will lead the team as a tour guide and set off!" ”

At the southern end of the village, there is a parking lot on the west side of Songhetang, where there are many cars, most of which are very high-end off-road vehicles. You Fang saw that his broken motorcycle had been moved from the entrance of the village by the disciples of the Xiang family, and it was placed in a very eye-catching position in the middle of the front row, occupying a whole parking space, which seemed to be so "standing out from the crowd".

Xiong Jushi joked with You Fang: "Mr. Rand, are you still riding a motorcycle?" ”

You Fang smiled generously and gently: "This thing was borrowed from a policeman in the township, and it is really easy to use in this kind of mountainous area, otherwise I would have been able to arrive when it was dark yesterday." Why don't I take you for a ride on a motorcycle today? ”

Lu Yueju giggled on the side: "How can you let Mr. Rand take my senior brother on a motorcycle, senior brother, if you envy the chic of your predecessors, borrow a ride and take me for a ride." ”

David Xiong drank on the side: "Don't joke about it, get in the car." …… Jushi, you see which car Yinghua sits in, chat with her on the way. ”

At this time, Xiang Yinghua walked over and handed You Fang a bunch of car keys: "Mr. Rand, you can drive my car." …… Elder Qianbei, you share a car with Mr. Rand, okay? ”

Qianbei: "Of course, it's okay, but neither of us knows the way." ”

Xiang Yinghua: "It's okay, I'll show the way." The implication was that she was in the same car.

Xiong Jushi interjected: "Senior Sister Yinghua, how can you let Mr. Rand be the driver?" ”

Xiang Yinghua rarely drives, but this time when he went out of the mountain, he was a little used to the car driven by Youfang, so he directly gave him the car keys, and when he heard Xiong Jushi say this, he immediately apologized and said: "It's Yinghua who is rude." ”

Xiong Jushi stretched out his hand: "Mr. Rand, let me drive." ”

You Fang asked: "Xiong Jushi, did you drive up the mountain by yourself?" ”

Xiong Jushi was stunned and replied truthfully: "No." ”

You Fang asked again: "Is the road over there the same as here?" ”

Lu Yueju hurriedly replied: "No, no, how can it be so dangerous!" And my brother has a driver, and he doesn't usually touch the steering wheel. ”

Xiong Jushi glared at his junior sister helplessly, and You Fang smiled: "Then I'll drive, this road is not easy to walk, don't joke." ”

Lu Yueju had already grabbed his senior brother's arm and said, "Then let's get in the car, and accompany Uncle Qianbei to sit in the back and watch the scenery, Mr. Rand, thank you for your hard work!" ”

You Fang drove, Xiang Yinghua sat in the co-pilot seat, Xiong Jushi and his sister Lu Yueju sat in the back with Qianbei Daoren, in fact, there was no need to show the way, because everyone seemed to get into seven or eight cars very casually, but the order of departure was very consciously discharged.

Xiang Xiaoli's car led the way in the front, it was his son Xiang Fenghua who drove it, and he sat in the back seat with Xiong Dawei, followed by the second car that You Fang drove.

From yesterday's way out of the mountain, it is naturally a good scenery, Xiang Yinghua occasionally said a few words, explaining the scenery along the way, Xiong Jushi echoed and praised in a timely manner. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Yueju would pick up the words and chatter non-stop, so that Xiong Jushi could only smile bitterly.

Leaving Xiangjia Village and walking around for more than an hour, the mountain road in front is relatively wide, but it is very potholed, and from time to time there are heavy-duty vehicles full of ore roaring past, see that this road is leading to the deep mountains. The off-road convoy turned a corner and left the trail and continued on an improvised road up the mountain, where the view was best when it approached the summit of a gentle hill with a slope crest sticking outward.

Everyone got out of the car, stretched out his hand to Xiaoli and pointed to the distance below: "There is a big scheelite mine there, which is opened by local people, and I also have investment and equity participation in Xiangjia, to see the whole picture of the earth's leylines, it is best to stand here." ”

Looking ahead, the terrain is dangerous! It was a long, narrow and deep valley, the mountains on both sides were steep and unclimbable, and the clouds and mist on it were surrounded, and the road just now was directly into the canyon and there was no other exit, and from time to time you could still see trucks coming in and out, far away, the roaring noise could not be heard clearly.

It's a secluded place, and it's hard to walk to the undulating mountain roads for so far by car.

No matter what kind of master he is, it is impossible to extend his divine sense to reach such a far-reaching place and lock that canyon, but he can sense the nearby terrain echoing with the distant terrain and infer many changes. You Fang had just unfolded his divine sense, but he was helplessly dormant and retracted, because the surroundings were too chaotic, and spiritual consciousness and divine consciousness were spreading everywhere.

Not everyone can control their spiritual sense or divine consciousness so subtly, nor can they hide their spiritual energy so well, and many people have accidentally disturbed the nearby earth qi environment.

In fact, the upstream side of the road has sensed that the place where there are mineral deposits may not necessarily be suitable for human habitation, let's just say that in this vicinity, the conflict between the earth and qi is more intense, and there are faults or very abrupt excesses in the operation of the spiritual center. This is consistent with the characteristics of tungsten ore, which is often filled in the form of veins in the fractures between rock formations.

At this moment, it is difficult to use the divine sense, You Fang just looks at the terrain, just like an ordinary feng shui master, he can also see the clues. Before meeting Liu Li, the feng shui techniques learned from the fifth uncle and the feng shui classics he read were not useless, and mastering the secret method was just a better way to confirm, understand, and apply. Just talking about the way of geography, ordinary people can also learn, the ancients opened mines, and engineers are also geographical feng shui masters, so they may not master the secret method.

It is not that there must be some kind of mineral deposit with such geocarbon characteristics, but there must be such a characteristic if there is a certain mineral deposit. If you want to find it, you need to find the place where the mineral crystal clusters are generated during mining, and then distinguish whether the surname is rich or not, and then carefully mine so as not to damage it, luck is very important.

You Fang was looking at each other, and Lu Yueju next to him asked Xiang Yinghua with a smile: "The carts pulled out one by one, are they all secret crystals?" ”

Xiang Yinghua was amused by her: "Those are mineral sands, as for the secret crystal, you can only meet things that you can't seek, you can only meet them with fate." For such a mine, it would be good to get more than ten tungsten light stones a year. "Of course, the main purpose of mining is to make money by mining sand, if the cost of opening such a mine, just to find a dozen spars a year, it is impossible.

Duan Peng asked: "The Xiang family of the mine here has a stake, have you sent a disciple to guard the mine veins and look for tungsten light stone at any time?" ”

Xiang Xiaoli: "Of course, now the vice president of this mine is my cousin Xiang Tianhua, usually responsible for on-site production, when the mineral crystals are found, he will instruct the workers to mine as a whole, but carefully inductive identification, if the surname is rich and pure, then command the workers to carefully decompose into mineral crystals, so that tungsten light may not be found, but it is the most efficient method." ”

Niu Yuepo sighed: "This is a chore! ”

Perennial stationed in the mine, the living conditions are naturally not too good, what is more difficult is to often use divine sense or spiritual sense to sense a huge number of mineral crystals, the energy and physical strength consumed are huge, and repeated but may not be able to get anything, a year to find more than ten tungsten stone.

Xiang Xiaoli nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't, in previous years, the sect master assigned disciples to take turns to station, and each person couldn't shirk it for a year." But Tian Hua took the initiative to ask for his life, it has been almost three years without rotation, a while ago I asked him if he needed to replace him, and he said no, he promised my brother Zuo Hu at the beginning, and volunteered to be stationed here. ”

You Fang suddenly interjected: "Although it is hard, it may not be an experience, the use of divine sense is often to the extreme, the sense of the surname must be subtle, and there is always a sense of comfort, this is also the way to practice the secret method, it depends on how everyone understands." ”

He was able to say such a thing, which was naturally his feeling for the task of "three taels of netherworld soil" given to him by Liu Li. Compared with it, Xiang Tianhua's task is simply too easy, if there is nothing to do, just command someone to dig something, check it carefully, and be a vice president in the mine, income and various benefits can not be less.

Of course, You Fang didn't say anything superfluous, he only talked about the truth in the cultivation of the secret method, and he really had the insights of his predecessors. All the colleagues echoed and admired, and nodded again and again with a smile on Xiaoli's face: "Brother Rand said that it is true, it is true, the purpose of assigning disciples to rotate is this, and other mines are still like this today, but Tian Hua, this kid is really good, and he is willing to work hard!" ”

What a coincidence, at this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the mountains and forests below: "Stinky boy, where are you going?" Stop, or you're welcome! ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Xiang Yinghua was surprised: "Second uncle, it's Tian Hua's voice." ”

So many masters didn't find out just now, because the juniors unfolded their divine consciousness and spiritual sense to disturb the environment, and the masters with powerful divine consciousness didn't join in the fun. On the other hand, the mountains are high and densely forested, and the terrain is rugged and there are many obstacles, so it is really difficult to detect from a distance.

As he spoke, about 100 meters away, a man came out of the dense forest on the road, looking to be a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a gray face and dirty clothes, and his yellow cotton jacket was cut several times by the branches, and his expression was very panicked. As soon as he came out of the forest, he saw so many cars parked above the mountain road, and many people were standing, so he turned around and ran this way.

You Fang was a little surprised to see this person, he was sure that he didn't know him, but he always felt as if he had seen him somewhere?

The man had just run a few steps when his body suddenly froze, as if he had crashed into an invisible net and was enveloped. You Fang could clearly distinguish that someone was disturbing the earth qi with his divine sense, blocking his body and making him unable to move. Immediately afterwards, a man in his thirties came out of the roadside, and his suit was also torn by the bushes several times, looking a little embarrassed, and grabbed the young man.

"Tian Hua, why are you here, what's going on?" Xiang Xiaoli walked over while asking, and the man in the suit turned out to be Xiang Tianhua mentioned just now, and everyone followed.

"Second uncle, why are you guys, you bring friends to play and don't say hello?" Xiang Tianhua looked up and was taken aback, then took out something from the young man's cotton jacket pocket, walked over and respectfully handed it to Xiang Xiaoli and said: "It's been two months, and I finally found a tungsten stone, this kid took advantage of my noon to go out to eat, and actually slipped into my room to steal it, but fortunately I found it all the way up the mountain." ”

It was a scheelite mineral crystal, in the form of a translucent crystal in the shape of a cube of twelve diamonds on eight sides, Xiang Xiaoli held it in his hand and responded with his divine sense, this crystal suddenly became completely transparent like glass, emitting a soft but very penetrating light blue fluorescence, and it was clear to see under the sun in broad daylight.

Xiang Xiaoli nodded: "It's indeed tungsten lightstone, it hasn't appeared for two months!" Who is he? ”

Xiang Tian Hua explained: "The workers in the mine, seeing that I, the leader, always collect this kind of thing with all their hearts, thought it was some rare treasure, and took the opportunity to steal it and escaped. In fact, for ordinary people, it is just a mineral crystal, and what is in the mine is worthless, and other old miners know it. ”

(To be continued)
