Chapter 67, the master

The street lights on the campus are dim, and there are many trees along the road, and a little outside is a patch of shadows. You Fang walked between the two street lamps, stood still in the shadow of a tree, stretched out his right hand to the side, hung down a jade plaque tied with yellow silk and said, "Zhang Liubing, what do you think this is?" ”

Zhang Liubing took two steps and looked down: "This is a jade plate, hey, how can it ......?" ”

You Fang: "Why is it familiar, right?" Although you haven't seen it, as a disciple of Xunluan, you should have an impression, so take it and take a closer look. ”

Zhang Liubing respectfully took the Xunluan jade Zhen over, the light was too dim and a little unclear, looked up at the "senior", and found that the other party stood with his back and didn't care about him, so he carefully took a few steps back with the jade card, came to the street lamp to take a closer look, and released the spiritual sense, lest he skip every subtlety.

Since You Fang wanted to pretend to be a senior master, of course, he had to pretend to be a master, and he didn't look back, as if he was not afraid that Zhang Liubing would take the opportunity to run away with the jade card. The more he was like this, the more unfathomable he became, and the more Zhang Liubing dared not fight other ideas.

Zhang Liubing looked at it, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead unconsciously, Xunluan Yuzhen had disappeared before Zhang Xi was born, and it was impossible for him to see it with his own eyes. However, the identification characteristics of its shape, material, ornamentation and other subtleties are introduced in detail in the texts of the Xunluan Sect, and this object is obviously different from ordinary jade with spiritual sense.

Besides, Xunluan Yuzhen was not a secret thing back then, before Lu Wenxing disappeared, many fellow Jianghu who were friends with the Xunluan faction had seen it, and they might have described it to their respective disciples, otherwise how could Hu Xuyuan recognize it in the Yanjing Library?

Zhang Liubing's situation is not the same as Hu Xuyuan's situation at the beginning, Hu Xuyuan was met by himself, and You Fang himself does not know its origin, and there may be almost no surname if he deliberately fakes, and it is very difficult to fake this kind of thing, so he immediately concluded that it was the missing Xunluan Yuzhen. And Zhang Liubing is a disciple of Xunluan, so he naturally knows how to identify, but this jade plate was sent to him by a "senior master", and he couldn't believe his eyes, so he looked at it very carefully and attentively.

The more you look at it, the more true it is, nonsense, it's not fake in the first place! Zhang Liubing didn't dare to take it lightly, he always wanted to check the induction more carefully, and unconsciously stood under the street lamp for half an hour with the jade card, and suddenly felt a wave of nausea and dizziness.

He quickly took out his mobile phone and turned on the power, and took dozens of photos of this jade plaque from all angles by using the photo function with flash. "Senior Li Feng" was very patient, waited quietly for so long, and waited for him to finish all this, before he said with a slight dissatisfaction: "You should have seen enough, give it back to me!" ”

Although Zhang Liubing was a little reluctant, he had to step forward and hand the jade plate to You Fang's outstretched hand, and at the same time took a step back, and gave a deep salute to the side and back: "It is likely to be the Xunluan Jade Ring, which is very important to my Xunluan Sect, can the ancestors wait in Guangzhou for a while, I will try my best to arrange all your needs, and inform my father to return to China immediately to meet you." ”

You Fang put away the jade plate and continued to walk forward, as if the figure just now did not stay, and at the same time, the dark luck was ready to go, and said as he walked: "No need, you tell Zhang Xi that I came this time because I was entrusted by someone to find an opportunity to hand over this jade to the head of the Xunluan faction, and it can only be handed over to the head of the sect." …… I haven't walked the rivers and lakes for many years, but now I am out of the mountains, but I learned that the Xunluan faction still has no leader, so I can only continue to wait. If you don't say hello and leave, and you are afraid that there will be someone who is entrusted with you, so please tell Zhang Xi about this matter. ”

Zhang Liubing never expected the other party to say such a thing, he was stunned, and followed a few steps to persuade: "Senior Li, everything is easy to discuss, since you are here, you might as well stop by to meet your father, and it is also fate to make friends with fellow Daoists." ”

You Fang didn't answer, but changed the conversation: "Speaking of the same path, I have a fate with you so coincidentally. I just saw that your spiritual sense is not weak, but it has not yet turned into divine consciousness. Coming to Yongfang Hall to temper it, the idea was good, but unfortunately it came to the wrong place. ”

Listening to the "master" actually talking about his spiritual cultivation, there seemed to be a hint in his words, which was what Zhang Liubing was most concerned about recently, he couldn't help but ask: "That's how my father instructed me, looking for a place where the conflict between earth and qi is intense and refining spiritual consciousness is the last step before turning into a divine sense, and whether it can be broken depends on chance, so the younger generation came to Yongfang Hall, what's wrong?" ”

There's nothing wrong with it, Liu Li also instructed You Fang in this way, the last step of exercising spiritual sense since ancient times has been like this, even You Fang himself is no exception. However, according to his personal experience, You Fang has a unique understanding, such a very selfish and uncommon cultivation experience, generally only told to the disciples who are very close to him, and will not talk nonsense.

Since you want to dress up as a master today, you have to spend some money, and You Fang gave Zhang Liubing the only "benefit" that he can get his hands on at present, and it is exactly what the other party needs, just listen to him say unfathomable-

"Look for the obvious place where the conflict between the earth and qi is disturbed, and refine the spiritual sense, in order to gradually subtle in the strong, once the primordial spirit is clear and appears, it can be transformed into divine consciousness, which is the right way since ancient times. But your spiritual sense is already strong enough, but the subtle control is very insufficient, Yongfangtang is known as the first supernatural place in Guangzhou, and the large-scale caste conflict is too intense, practicing here is half the effort for you. ”

Zhang Liubing nodded again and again: "Don't hide it from my predecessors, I've been refining my spiritual sense here for a month, and my progress is indeed slow, so in your opinion, where should I look for it?" ”

You Fang: "The surnames of things are strange and chaotic, and there are vast places to find differences between small and small inches. ”

Zhang Liubing frowned: "What kind of place is this, Stele Forest, Tallinn?" ”

You Fang shook his head and said: "No, those places are still too strong, although they are suitable for the final refining, they are not suitable for you at this time." Haven't been to an antique thrift market? The bigger, the better. ”

Zhang Liubing suddenly realized: "I see, thank you for your advice!" ”

You Fang waved his hand: "The chance encounter between people in the same way is fate, and it is just a casual effort to point you out a few words, don't forget to tell your father what I just said." I will ask for information in the future, how can I contact you? ”

Zhang Liubing hurriedly said his mobile phone number, office phone, e-mail address, and mailing address, and remembered the "business" of Xunluan Yuzhen, and wanted to say a few more words, only to see a flower in front of him, and the figure of "Li Feng's predecessor" flashed and floated, and disappeared into the bushes on the side of the road like a phantom. is so clever, there is no trace in the blink of an eye, as if it didn't exist at all just now.

If you want to truly frighten a person from the depths of your heart, there are two means: one is to point out the subtleties that he does not yet understand, but is very concerned about; The second is to show his best and most confident skills, but he is more clever than him. In front of Zhang Liubing, You Fang used both methods.

Zhang Liubing's best thing is body method, worthy of the name of "Drifting Ice", and You Fang caught him once, and finally did not use secret techniques such as divine sense, that is, to show his body [***] husband and leave. His body is a little smarter than Zhang Liubing, and he has been secretly operating his internal strength for a long time, so of course it seems unpredictable to leave suddenly without saying hello. On the other hand, Zhang Liubing's inspection of the jade Zhen just now was a little overwhelmed, which affected the sharpness of his sensory perception, so he felt that You Fang's disappearance was even more weird.

Zhang Liubing froze in place, and his shock did not recede for a long time. "Li Feng's predecessor" is already a master in his mind, who can no longer be clever, who can no longer be mysterious, and who can no longer be admired! In fact, You Fang's kung fu is not much stronger than him, it is nothing more than a step ahead of the transformation of spiritual consciousness into divine consciousness, and he also has a fierce and almost uncontrollable blade.

When he came to his senses, he immediately rushed out of the CUHK campus, and called his father in the car, despite the fact that it was still early in the morning.

You Fang didn't go far, and secretly watched him drive away in a hurry after making a phone call, and secretly said in his heart: "It's very good, I came out to practice at night and drove a BMW." Today, you have already solved this loophole, and if you are tight in Guangzhou in the future, the rent and food expenses will be settled. ”

……

Zhang Xizhen went to Australia, with the delegation of domestic iron and steel enterprises to negotiate the price of ore, not to participate in the iron ore price negotiations, but to take this occasion to determine next year's shipping business plan. I planned to return to Guangzhou in two days, but I received a call from my son from China in the middle of the night, and I ended my trip early and rushed to Melbourne Airport early in the morning to take a flight back to Hong Kong.

Zhang Liubing was not idle, he drove from Guangzhou to Hong Kong to meet his father that day, and as soon as they met, Zhang Xi once again inquired in detail about what happened, especially the situation of checking the jade plate. Then the father and son went to visit one of Zhang Xi's uncles, who was also a member of his own family who had seen Xunluan Yuzhen with his own eyes and would not leak the news.

The old uncle saw dozens of mobile phone photos taken by Zhang Liubing, and then entered them into the computer to zoom in and watch, and nodded again and again in surprise, which was exactly the same as the Xunluan Yuzhen in his memory. Zhang Xi asked his uncle not to mention it to anyone for the time being, and he took his son back to Guangzhou non-stop, and it was already midnight at that time, and he came directly to the CUHK campus.

Zhang Xi is an old Jianghu, in front of Yongfang Hall to re-simulate the scene of last night, he personally "played" You Fang, let his son repeat yesterday's every move, try not to miss any details. When Zhang Liubing was "caught" after arriving at Yongfangtang, Zhang Xi was also shocked.

Zhang Liubing was most impressed by the sharp and incomparable evil aura, Zhang Xi thought of Lu Wenxing's sword Qin Yu, because it was missing with Xunluan Yuzhen. But he wasn't sure that "Li Feng" was so powerful by virtue of a slashing blade, after all, what his son described was too terrible, and since the master didn't want to hurt people, this would not usually happen.

Zhang Xi didn't know that You Fang was not a real master, and when he started, he had just turned his spiritual sense into divine consciousness in less than half a second, and without the slightest experience, he was able to stimulate the spirit of the artifact, but he almost couldn't control Qin Yu's evil qi. - Who would have thought of this?

What made Zhang Xi even more shocked was that in that situation, "Li Feng" could still easily catch Zhang Liubing without hurting anyone. As a father, he knows what his son is best at, and he thinks that even if he is himself, he can't do it if he is not careful.

In fact, You Fang didn't catch it easily, and almost let Zhang Liubing run away, but Zhang Liubing's own feeling was very different, and there would always be a little deviation when things turned around. Moreover, although Zhang Xi is a master, not all kung fu is strong, and the flexibility of the fist and foot body is even worse than the swimming side. What's more important is that You Fang later showed a "masterful demeanor", and he actually handed over Xunluan Yuzhen to Zhang Liubing, without worrying that he would slip away with things.

After leaving Yongfangtang and coming to the street lamp, Zhang Xi asked his son: "That senior just handed over the jade plate to you, and didn't keep an eye on you?" ”

Zhang Liubing: "Yes, Senior Li Feng stood under the tree, his back to me more than a foot away, and he didn't even look at it. ”

Zhang Xi said with palpitations: "Son, fortunately, you didn't have any thoughts and tried to slip away with the Xunluan Jade Ring. He did that, on the one hand, to let you check carefully, and on the other hand, he was also testing you, and at the same time testing the style of our Zhang family. ”

Zhang Liubing was slightly stunned: "Test the Zhang family? ”

Zhang Xi: "That person must have a great relationship with my Xunluan faction, and he must have a good intention when he came with a inheritance token." Now if you want to get in touch with the core of the Xunluan faction, of course, you are looking for me, Lu Changlin, and Bao Min. It seems that he is still suspicious, so he wants to test the reactions and actions of each family, which seems to have the intention of secretly investigating. ”

Zhang Liubing: "Then what is his purpose?" ”

Zhang Xi: "This is not a problem you are considering, so don't make a public announcement about this matter for the time being." I think this person should have a good impression of you, otherwise he wouldn't have opened his mouth to instruct your spiritual cultivation. ”

Zhang Liubing: "I think Li Feng's senior's guidance is quite reasonable, which makes me feel like I'm suddenly open, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Xi groaned: "It's not that I don't know your situation, but as my son, your life is superior, and there is no shortage of secret inheritance, so as long as you practice step by step, you are willing to work hard and accumulate time to come to fruition, and everything else depends on your own enlightenment." And I'm usually too busy to care about you, so practicing like this can also sharpen your impetuous heart, so I didn't deliberately point out too much ingenuity.

And as soon as that senior saw you, he could see that there was something wrong with refining your spiritual consciousness in such a way as in your situation, and that was fine. The most rare way for him to guide you is to exercise, and his ingenuity and precision are admirable. Although it is a simple single sentence, it can be said easily, and this profound foundation is not as good as even being a father. Some things pay attention to chance, in fact, your accumulation is enough, and the opportunity to meet that senior last night is your chance, and in the future, you will exercise your spiritual sense according to the method he instructed, which will definitely be of great benefit to your mastery of divine consciousness as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Liubing: "I must thank that senior if I have the opportunity, but he originally wanted to see you, if he hadn't met me, maybe you would have been able to meet him, and you would have asked for clarification." ”

Zhang Xi smiled: "I have already asked you to tell you about my intention, how do you want to ask?" Drift Ice, you still have shortcomings in the experience of rivers and lakes, that person is coming at you, and he didn't plan to see me directly. It is likely that he has already discovered that you are refining your spiritual consciousness here, and he deliberately waited for you in front of Yongfang Hall last night. ”

He naturally thinks more about things than his son, and if someone comes to him directly with the Xunluan Jade Ring, it is difficult to predict what will happen. As Zhang Xi, he will naturally try his best to leave a token of his master's inheritance, but it is not good to say what means he uses to leave it; If someone doesn't want to give it, I'm not sure something will happen. It is the safest way to let Zhang Liubing test the jade and test Zhang Xi's reaction.

As for the sentence relayed, "The token entrusted by the person can only be handed over to the head of Xunluan, and it is inconvenient for the Xunluan faction to intersect without the head now", it seems to have a deep meaning, which makes Zhang Xi very unpredictable.

Is it occasionally to get the benefit of looking for a mountain jade Zhen to ask for a private point? It's possible, but it's not like. Could it be that a master who has a lot to do with this sect got Lu Wenxing's relics and was entrusted by his last words to come to rectify the situation that the Xunluan faction is now leaderless and unorganized? This kind of possible surname is not nothing, so is he implying that Zhang Xi is trying to clean up the overall situation and become the head of the Xunluan faction?

Zhang Xi has made great contributions to the development of the foundation of the Xunluan faction in the past 30 years, and the inheritance of the sect is still in a state where no one presides over the overall situation. It's a pity that Bao Min and him are not convinced by each other, and Lu Changlin's most favorable condition is not that material, and the problems left over from history have not been solved.

In any case, "Li Feng" has also become a master in Zhang Xi's mind, and it is very likely that he has a great relationship with the inheritance of the Xunluan faction. If this is the case, he will find the Xunluan Yuzhen and get the help of such a master, and there is a great hope that he will realize what he wants, even if he is not selfish, the ancestors of the past generations probably do not want to see the current situation of the Xunluan faction continue.

The kid Drift Ice not only didn't see the face of the master clearly, but he didn't even ask the name clearly, what was his name Li Feng, Li Feng, and Ni Feng...... I can't be sure, and I didn't leave contact information. But it doesn't matter, since the other party has come to the door to test, sooner or later they will contact again, just wait for the opportunity to act.

……

Zhang Xi, the old Jianghu, guessed some things correctly, and some things were completely wrong, You Fang was not a master in front of him, but the Jianghu methods were indeed very clever. In front of Mr. Niu Ranmiao, You Fang is still not scared, not to mention giving Zhang Xi'an the threshold through Zhang Liubing's "hole"? There were only five seconds before breaking the plum bottle, and last night in front of Zhang Liubing was so long, enough for the little wanderer to settle a series of thresholds.

But You Fang didn't plan to contact the Zhang family father and son immediately, at least not in a short time, and he didn't expect to meet Zhang Liubing last night, and he took advantage of the situation to lay the groundwork for the future to get rid of the Xunluan faction, just like playing chess and leaving the back hand to move for the time being.

According to You Fang's own plan, the three things that Liu Li explained need to be done step by step, first practice the sword to rely on, and then go to find the netherworld soil to continue to practice the sword in the cloud travel, until Qin Yu's spiritual surname is completely cultivated, and at the same time, his secret method and true skill cultivation are greatly advanced, and finally go to get the Xunluan faction.

The top priority is not to deal with the Xunluan faction, but to deal with Qin Yu, who has become a little less "obedient".
