Chapter 974: The avenue goes to the sky
Zhuang Lao's yard looks the same as before, very casually filled with some pots and fruit trees, and there is a row of planting troughs against the wall, raising some beans and loofahs and other vegetables, the vines of these vegetables have climbed to the wall of the small building, Aunt Zhuang has nailed a wooden frame on the wall, on which are hung long cowpeas and small cucumbers with flowers.
When the group arrived at the door, the wooden gate was buckled but not locked, Fang Shi naturally stretched out his hand to open the door, and walked inward first, the yard was quiet, and it seemed that the master's house had not found that someone had invaded.
Xia Yuyao looked at the surrounding plants curiously, in fact, she had been here with Fang Shi twice, but every time she came, she found that the surrounding plants had changed a little, she didn't know much about environmental art, but she could also feel that the carving in the yard was getting less and less, the villa in this city was now like a farmer's yard in the mountains, and the yin and yang atmosphere in the yard was extraordinarily stable.
Lin Xueyi studied art and had a unique aesthetic vision, and she exclaimed in a low voice as soon as she entered the courtyard door.
"Hey, these potted plants here seem to be deliberately arranged, so wonderful, so few potted plants, it looks like a heavy mountain with no end in sight, this side is a farm, with the mountains over there, this yard is a portrayal of a mountain village."
"The girl's vision is good, this is the mountain village where we once lived, and people always like to miss the past when they are old."
"Old man, who are you talking to, is it Xiaofang They have arrived, let the guests into the house, it's cold outside."
Zhuang Lao smiled and led everyone into the house, and Fang Shi introduced Lin Xueyi and Shen Xiangyun to Zhuang Lao, just introducing the names. Zhuang Lao will not be interested in their background either. Today's Zhuang Lao is becoming more and more detached. looks like an ordinary old man, but those eyes that penetrate the world make people feel inexplicable, and they will unconsciously dilute the heart of fame and fortune.
Everyone drank tea in the living room for a while, Fang Shi proposed to see Zhuang Lao's work collection room, Zhuang Lao naturally would not refuse, and happily took everyone to the second floor.
Zhuang Lao led everyone into the collection room, but he just stood aside with a smile. He pointed to the collection room and said: "The so-called flowers are in their own eyes, and there are a hundred Hamlets in the eyes of a hundred people, so I won't introduce them. ā
Shen Xiangyun didn't really know much about art, but he still watched slowly in the collection room very seriously, and he was curious about what these sculptures and pottery works had to do with entering the Tao.
Lin Xueyi was very excited, she was an expert, at a glance. I was already hooked by these simple and smart works, and I didn't even hear Zhuang Lao's words. Some of them walked towards the depths of the collection room as if they had lost their souls, and from time to time they let out exclamations of unknown meaning as they went.
Fang Shi didn't go to see it, Zhuang Lao always informed Fang Shi whenever he had a new work, Fang Shi had already seen the works in these search rooms, and he threw Zhuang Lao a Qi Lookout technique.
'1,1,17, pale silver'
I haven't seen him for a month, Zhuang Lao's mental power has increased a little more, at his age, this progress is definitely improving by leaps and bounds, and from the appearance of Zhuang Lao, who is in his seventies, looks like he is at most sixty years old, and most of his hair that was originally white has now turned gray, and it seems that he is still changing in a better direction.
"Old Zhuang, how are you feeling lately?"
Zhuang Lao smiled and said softly: "Very good, I feel very energetic, full of energy, my head is clearer, and the recent weather changes will not cause joint pain, and the medicine for high blood pressure has been stopped." ā
"It's a three-point poison, it's best not to take those Western medicines, go back and let Yuyao check your pulse again, adjust the dietary treatment prescription, and strive to stop taking medicine in the summer."
Zhuang Lao smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, I'm even happier that after piercing that layer of window paper, my understanding of art seems to have a new idea, and I am expected to enter a vast new place, at this time, I am reluctant to die." ā
Xia Yuyao interjected with a smile: "Don't worry, your old health is good, and you have successfully condensed the Yuan Shen, as long as you persist in cultivation, it will definitely not be a problem to live for another fifty years." ā
"Oh, that's good, that's good, otherwise it's a pity."
The three of them stood at the door of the collection room and chatted, not caring about the two people who visited the collection room, these two people also looked at each other, and there was no communication, it was almost time for dinner, and Shen Xiangyun finally walked out.
Fang Shi asked with a smile, "Xiangyun, what do you think?" ā
Shen Xiangyun said with some shame: "I don't understand art, so I just watch it lively, but Zhuang Lao's works look really pleasing to the eye, and some works can make people feel strongly, such as the eagle by the window, I like that work the most."
Zhuang Lao just stroked his beard and smiled when he heard this, and he didn't plan to say anything, Fang Shi still nodded with a smile: "That, can you feel the momentum of fighting against the storm?" ā
Shen Xiangyun nodded vigorously: "Yes, it has a kind of indomitable eternal martyrdom, and the pride of being proud of the world, that feeling makes people's blood boil at a glance, I can't imagine that an ordinary root carving can bring such a strong spiritual impact." ā
Zhuang Lao smiled and said nothing, of course he would not tell Shen Xiangyun, the so-called opinion, Shen Xiangyun saw not the root eagle or the eagle flying, but saw his own heart, however, what Shen Xiangyun saw was just that, in the final analysis, he was an ordinary person, his understanding was really poor, but his utilitarianism was very strong, so Zhuang Lao didn't want to talk to him anymore.
At this time, Lin Xueyi's figure also slowly walked towards the door, she seemed to be thinking about something, walked to the door, looked up at everyone blankly, suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked quickly towards the depths of the collection room, but this time she walked in the same direction as just now.
Shen Xiangyun saw that Lin Xueyi was so rude, and was about to open his mouth to wake her up, but Fang Shi gently pressed his shoulder, and the sound of Shen Xiangyun rushing out of his throat suddenly dissipated without a trace.
"Don't alarm her, let her continue to watch, let's go down to eat first, let her see enough."
Fang Shi's voice sounded in Shen Xiangyun's ears, he looked at Lin Xueyi's back in surprise, and looked back at Fang Shi in confusion, Fang Shi nodded with a smile, but his eyes were very firm, Shen Xiangyun didn't dare to disobey Fang Shi's words, so he had to turn around and walk out, but he looked back at Lin Xueyi with some unease as he walked.
"Don't worry, it's safe here, no one will take your future wife away."
Shen Xiangyun laughed dryly, and quickened his pace to catch up with Fang Shi and his party.
Aunt Zhuang originally wanted to wait for Lin Xueyi to come down to eat together, but Zhuang Lao spoke, so she had to reluctantly start the meal, but she still left the meal for Lin Xueyi very carefully.
After eating, Lin Xueyi hadn't appeared yet, and everyone returned to the living room to sit and drink tea and chat, but Shen Xiangyun was a little absent-minded.
Seeing this, Fang Shi smiled and asked, "Xiangyun, what are your plans for the future?" Politics? ā
Shen Xiangyun nodded and said, "Yes, I will take the civil service exam after graduating this year, and I plan to start from the grassroots level." ā
"Is it in Pengcheng?"
"It should be the city around Pengcheng."
Fang Shi nodded and asked, "Then do you know how Lin Xueyi planned her life?" ā
Shen Xiangyun felt a little wrong, and looked at Fang Shi with a worried look: "Master Fang, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that you don't think there's something wrong with the future of the two of us? ā
Fang Shi shook his head secretly in his heart, is this still necessary, Lin Xueyi is a very spiritual person, has a good cultivation foundation, and is also a body that has not leaked Yuanyin, so it is twice the result with half the effort when cultivating! As long as Lin Xueyi is willing, sooner or later he will be a Xuanmen Warlock, but what about Shen Xiangyun? He also doesn't have decent cultivation potential, and his ideal is to become a politician, this choice will only make the distance between the two people bigger and bigger, and in the end, they will not be able to come together after all.
"I haven't calculated it for the two of you, but I'll find someone to calculate it."
Shen Xiangyun was not stupid, and immediately understood the meaning of Fang Shi's words. In fact, his feelings for Lin Xueyi are not so deep, but as a member of the political family, he knows that his marriage will definitely be a political bond, so he feels that Lin Xueyi is also a good choice, at least she is beautiful, smart and not rude, after a long time, the relationship should be slowly cultivated, and he gradually accepted Lin Xueyi as a person.
But now that Fang Shi said this, Shen Xiangyun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. If it weren't for Fang Shi having Xia Yuyao by his side, Shen Xiangyun would even suspect that Fang Shi had taken a fancy to Lin Xueyi. Even if this is not the case, Fang Shi's encouragement of Lin Xueyi to join Qingcheng Mountain is probably the biggest reason for the change in the relationship between himself and Lin Xueyi.
Fang Shi naturally clearly saw Shen Xiangyun's mental fluctuations, and could also guess from Shen Xiangyun's behavior of lowering his head to avoid his eyes that Shen Xiangyun must be dissatisfied with himself and resentful of breaking up his marriage with Lin Xueyi.
In fact, this is the death of Fang Shi, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Fang Shi, the use of film and television media to set off a round of Xuanmen propaganda tide of Jian yƬ was proposed by Lin Xueyi himself, Fang Shi proposed to invite Lin Xueyi to join Qingcheng, because he didn't want to fall behind in the propaganda war, and he had no intention of interfering with Lin Xueyi's own future.
It's only a matter of time before Lin Xueyi embarks on the path of cultivation, without Fang Shi as her guide, there will be other Xuanmen warlocks who take a fancy to Lin Xueyi, even if no one takes a fancy to Lin Xueyi at all, as long as the secularization of Xuanmen continues to advance, potential stocks like Lin Xueyi will still go crazy, and in the end, Lin Xueyi and Shen Xiangyun are still people from two worlds.
After thinking for a while, Shen Xiangyun raised his head: "Master Fang thinks we are not suitable?" If that's the case, I'll build yƬ home to reconsider the matter. ā
Xia Yuyao frowned slightly, Shen Xiangyun was obviously afraid of offending Fang Shi and wanted to abandon Lin Xueyi's rhythm, but he didn't expect Fang Shi's gentle temptation, and this guy would expose the essence of a politician.
"You misunderstood, it's not that I'm not optimistic about the future of the two of you, but I want to tell you that the emotional road of the two of you is quite tortuous, you must be mentally prepared, and don't be intimidated by difficulties lightly."
Shen Xiangyun's heart froze, his eyes were dark, and he almost didn't get to the ground, isn't this a pit man! (To be continued......)
