Chapter 545: The Xiao Family's Luck Reversed
In late autumn, the weather is getting cooler.
In a courtyard somewhere in the capital division of Huaxia, it was laughter and laughter, a lively scene.
In the warm side hall, fresh fruits are placed on the coffee table, and the freshly picked autumn tea emits a curling fragrance. Old Man Xiao leaned on the wooden old-fashioned sofa, looking at his little grandson who was talking, with a smile on his eyebrows, very pleased.
The old man's face was ruddy, and his body was slightly fatter than last year, and he looked extremely healthy. No one can see that in just over a year, this old man has been in and out of the general hospital twice, and has been declared critically ill twice by the top medical experts in China.
The current old man Xiao is healthier than most of his peers and looks younger.
What was especially gratifying to Xiao Fan was that the life of the old man, who had been tightly covered by the power of heaven, began to show up again. Although it is very vague and not obvious, in the eyes of a great physiognomist like Xiao Fan, such a little clue is enough.
The old man's fate has clearly been changed back, and it is completely reversed.
The damage caused to him by Patriarch Rong Tian has been completely eliminated.
The luck of the old Xiao family is gradually recovering.
This can also be seen from his father Xiao Zhan's face. Not long ago, Xiao Zhan resigned from his position as minister and went to work in a certain province, ranking in the feudal territory. When Xiao Fan returned to China from Nanyang again, he went to visit his father in a certain province on the way. The gloomy aura that had accumulated on Xiao Zhan's face had long since dissipated. The appearance of a life obscured by the heavenly machine is revealed, the seal hall is shining, the mountain roots are clear, and the purple air of the heavenly court is dense. Zaichen's demeanor is like that.
Xiao Fan's hanging heart finally let go.
Not only is the old man's life completely reversed, but Lao Tzu's life has also been reversed. Back on track. This adventure was not in vain.
Even his own fate. It's all getting better.
Of course, this was not seen by Xiao Fan himself, but by the second senior brother Wen Tian. Since the last battle with the wizards of the Western Regions, Second Master Wen has been sitting in the Water Stopping Temple. As soon as Xiao Fan returned from Nanyang, Wen Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that Xiao Fan's fate seemed to have undergone some kind of change. The previous kind of rebellious reasoning has faded a lot. Although compared with Xiao Fan's previous "Son of Heaven's Destiny", he is still far inferior. But compared to the addition of all evils after changing one's life against the sky, it is much better.
Wen Tian immediately decided to risk the backlash of heaven and deduce the blood phase for Xiao Fan. The results of the deduction showed that Xiao Fan's fate had indeed undergone some strange changes, but this change was extremely complicated, with Wen Tian's high attainments in physiognomy. I can only see flowers in the fog, and I vaguely understand a layer of fur.
Wen Tian told Xiao Fan in a very confused tone, the power of heavenly concealment on his body, on the surface. It's dissipated a lot, but it's actually aggravated, which can be detected from the deduction of the blood phase. Some of the most critical areas are tightly covered. Completely impossible to snoop on.
"Senior brother, something special must have happened. It's just that it's hard for us to predict ......."
This is what Second Master Wen said to Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan is open-minded, since he has reached this point, then there is nothing to be afraid of, just walk over step by step, what is the destiny of heaven, and don't care about him. The petals of the "Red Flame Grass" obtained by Xiao Fan, Wen Tian naturally also saw it, and as soon as he came into contact with that abundant and infinite life essence, Wen Tian was overjoyed. Tell Xiao Fan to do his best to refine this petal into an elixir for long-term preservation.
Wen Tian asserted that the elixir refined from the petals of the "Red Flame Grass" may not be comparable to the "Heavenly King Pill" in terms of effect, but it is not too far behind. Moreover, the effect is not as good as the "Heavenly King Pill", not because the medicinal effect of the "Red Flame Grass" is not good, but mainly because the cultivation of the alchemist is not as good.
Xiao Fan, as the contemporary head of the Wuji Sect, can already be called a generation of grandmasters in this last era when the magic is in decline. However, he has not yet reached the realm of the great perfection of "reincarnation", and refining the "Heavenly King Pill", so it is said that at least there must be a level of cultivation in the "Heavenly and Human Realm", and the numerology of the mountain spirit and tree monster is integrated into the elixir, and the "Heavenly King Pill" has the effect of resurrecting the dead and changing his life against the sky.
If Xiao Fan's cultivation goes up to the "Heavenly and Human Realm", he can replace the robbery with mountain spirits and tree monsters, and use the divine effect of "Red Flame Grass" to refine the elixir, and the effect is definitely not under the "Heavenly King Pill", and even the refined one is directly the "Heavenly King Pill".
Rao is like this, the petals of this "Red Flame Grass" are still good to practice into pills as soon as possible. Xiao Fan's rebellious life has not been completely reversed, and the road ahead is difficult, so taking such an elixir with the effect of resurrecting the dead with him is much more down-to-earth.
Xiao Fan thought so.
Originally, refining pills, Jia'er was the best. It's a pity that Jia'er is still in Laojun Mountain to restore his body. According to Jia'er's original intention, he naturally wanted to follow Xiao Fan back to the view of stopping water, wouldn't it be good for the two people to be entangled in affection and love?
However, Lin Qingluan resolutely refused.
The Qingluan Palace Master insisted on keeping the apprentice by his side, and when his body was fully recovered, he would consider whether to continue to fulfill the original agreement between her and the Ancestor of Zhishui.
According to the meaning of the words of the palace master of Qingluan, Xiao Fan was "despicable and shameless", taking advantage of the opportunity of the moon near the water to coax Xin Lin, who had no emotional experience, and took away her virginity, which had already broken the agreement. She hasn't settled accounts with Zhao Zhishui yet!
Xiao Fan couldn't resist this extremely temperamental Qimiao Palace Master, and Jia'er was unwilling to run away with him secretly, which made the master sad, so he had to stay in Laojun Mountain temporarily and recuperate in peace.
On this day, Xiao Zhan happened to return to Beijing for a meeting, and coincidentally, Xiao Tian also returned to Beijing to run the project, and the father and son made an appointment together and rushed to the courtyard to visit the old man.
The old man was naturally very happy, and when he ate at noon, he made an exception and drank a small glass of rice wine.
Everyone accompanied the old man to eat Chinese food, sat down in the side hall, and chatted and talked together. There are four grandfathers and grandchildren, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Fan are all people of few words, Xiao Tian is more lively, in this regard, Xiao Tian is more like his grandfather. Basically, he was doing a "debriefing report".
Not long ago, Xiao Tianguan was promoted to one level and officially served as the secretary of the party committee of Hongshan Town, and continued to serve as the secretary of the branch of Hongshan Village.
Secretary of the Party Committee of Hongshan Town, Luozhou County, to put it bluntly, is a department-level cadre, among the children of the Beijing Division, there is really nothing to talk about at the department level, and there are many people with a higher level than Xiao Tian, and even Xiao Fan is a deputy department-level cadre of the Religious Affairs Bureau. It's just that Director Xiao has basically not appeared in the bureau much over the years.
However, people with political knowledge understand that Xiao Tian, the secretary of the town party committee, has a completely different gold content from the official level in the yamen organ of Beijing Normal University. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has long become an unwritten rule in officialdom not to go to Lizhou County and not to plan Taiwan Province. After the establishment of this dynasty, the removal of most court officials basically followed such rules.
Xiao Tian was promoted from deputy secretary of the party committee of Hongshan Town and secretary of the branch of Hongshan Village to secretary of the party committee of Hongshan Town, which was only half a grade higher in rank, which was actually a qualitative progress. A town, with a population of tens of thousands, although the sparrow is small and has all the organs, being able to be a good secretary of the town party committee means that he has work experience in the grassroots blocks, and he is the work experience of the top leader. In terms of resume, this will add a strong stroke to Xiao Tian.
Looking at the resumes of some leaders, it is not difficult to see that even if the leading cadres who are mainly promoted in the rules and regulations will more or less have the qualifications of the local government, even if the time is extremely short, as long as they have a few months, their resumes will look very good. He has a wealth of work experience in the organization and the work experience of the ruling party, and he can take on a great responsibility.
At the beginning, under Xiao Fan's "coercion and temptation", Xiao Tian reluctantly left Jingshi and went to Hongshan Village as a village cadre, in fact, the elders of the Xiao family were not optimistic about him, especially Xiao Zhan, who was always suspicious of this unobtrusive little son.
However, Xiao Tian has really changed, in less than a year, his skin has become tanned, and he has lost a lot of weight, but he is more energetic than before, and the whole person exudes a vigorous temperament. Listening to Xiao Tiankou recounting his series of governance measures in Hongshan Village, Hongshan Town, Xiao Zhan was finally convinced that the youngest son, whom he looked down on the most, was indeed on the right path.
Although the secretary of the Party Committee of Hongshan Town is only the first step in his career, with this good start, coupled with Xiao Tian's own intelligence and hard work, coupled with the huge political resources of the old Xiao family, it is almost certain that Xiao Tian will show his skills in the career in the future.
As long as Xiao Tian fights for himself, Xiao Zhan will spare no effort to cultivate this son.
However, in Xiao Fan's eyes, Xiao Tian's face does not seem to be as clear as that of his grandfather and father. Xiao Tian's "Supreme Appearance of the Son of Heaven" has not changed in the slightest, it is still so obvious, and the bad luck has faded. However, Xiao Fan sensed a trace of stale obscurity between Xiao Tian's eyebrows. It stands to reason that this kind of bad luck should never appear in young people in their twenties, especially on Xiao Tian's face.
The fate of the Son of Heaven, the supreme domineering, how can the ordinary evil charm get close?
This situation is really strange.
"Xiaofan, what about you? Have your troubles been solved? ”
Xiao Fan was paying attention to his younger brother's face, but the old man suddenly turned to him and asked.
"Grandpa, my troubles have been solved, no problem."
Xiao Fan immediately replied with a smile.
He understood his grandfather's worries, although the old man didn't know how to use magic, he had already guessed that in order to "cure" him, Xiao Fan had spent a lot of effort and even caused great trouble.
As it stands, he is not lying.
On the night of the fight, those Western Regions magicians withdrew from the Beijing Division overnight, and even fled from Huaxia overnight and fled to other countries. Jiang Daoming was also gone.
It is believed that after this heavy blow, in a short period of time, they will never dare to make a comeback.
Of course, I can't wait for that time. Xiao Fan has decided to pursue it to the end. Such a ferocious and strong enemy, if they don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, their hearts will never be steady, and when they recover their vitality and kill again, they don't know what kind of waves they will set off.
Xiao Fan is a good person, but he is by no means a good person.
When it is time to be ruthless, never be soft. (To be continued......)
