3. The Imperial City Chapter 117 Fan Rui's Story
Canghai made a lot of profits at the hunting conference this time, and made a lot of friends, and was very happy in his heart, and on the way he exchanged the little money and silver for good wine and meat, and carried it back to his residence to eat with Cangbai. The father and son didn't see each other for many days, drank a few glasses of wine, chatted about the hunting conference while guessing, and occasionally talked a few words, but it was also fun.
When I was drunk, there was a hissing of flying beasts outside the house, and then the head of the little pear vortex stuck straight in from the window, staring at the braised meat on the table and sniffing, and the masturbation flowed down from between the sharp teeth, looking greedy. Canghai was overjoyed, grabbed a piece of flesh and bone and threw it into its mouth, and said, "Come, little pear vortex, guess with me, win the drink." ”
Someone outside said, "It's lost." If you guess it a hundred times, it's also out of the cloth, and it will never be able to drink this wine. ”
Canghai smiled: "If I don't let it lose in a hurry, how can Senior Zhou show up." Come in, I've got your share. ”
Zhou Hedao: "It's pretty much the same. He climbed up the long neck of the little pear vortex and sat down at the table. Canghai had already taken a cup of wine and poured it, and Zhou Yi drank it all, praising it: "Good wine." Unceremoniously grabbed the meat and munched on it.
After being full of wine and food, Zhou He said: "I heard that there are dog thieves from Jin Liangguo who have infiltrated the conference, and you have made a lot of efforts in the process of confrontation, and when you are assigned in three days, it should not be a problem for you to join the public gate." ”
Canghai said: "I tried my best at the hunting conference, and as for whether I can get into the eyes of those adults, I can't force it, just let it be." There was one thing that I was curious about. ”
Zhou He said: "What's the matter? ”
Canghai said: "Seniors still call me Canghai, Cang's head sounds strange." Besides, I've already come to this imperial city, so it's a matter of whether the head of the Cangshui Sect has time to go back and do it. ”
Zhou He laughed and said, "Since you are going to enter the public gate this time, it is indeed not appropriate to call the head of the house." Then I'll call you by your name as a colleague. ”
Canghai said: "What my predecessors said is exactly what I want." That's right, I met a man at the Hunting Conference, and his strength was so strong that he could be called an invincible opponent in the whole Hunting Conference. Even the people of the Jin Liang Kingdom, if they hadn't used extraordinary means later, would definitely not be able to defeat him. I am very impressed by such outstanding cultivation. But for some reason, everyone is always secretive about his identity. After the meeting, I heard the king of Nancheng say something strange to him, saying that he could change his surname, and I thought that there must be some story in the meantime. ”
Zhou He took a sip of wine and said, "Well, the person you are talking about is Fan Rui." ”
Canghai said: "It turns out that Senior Zhou also knows. ”
Zhou Hedao: "Since King Nan said that he could change his surname, he should be surnamed Wang." ”
Canghai said: "King Nan does say that his surname is Wang." So I find it strange. The surname is Zuding, can this Zuding thing be changed casually?"
Zhou Hedao: "The surname is a symbol of bloodline, it is not easy through the ages, who will have nothing to change." He wants to change, naturally because Wang is his ancestral surname. ”
Canghai sighed softly and said, "So, he was originally surnamed Wang." ”
Zhou Hedao: "Exactly." ”
Canghai said: "That's even more strange, why did he have the surname Fan in the first place?"
Zhou He sighed lightly, glanced out the window a few times, and said, "This matter is not the turn of us outsiders, and it is even more taboo to discuss it." However, he won this time, and it was a certainty to change back to his ancestral surname after three days, and it was no longer a taboo thing, so I told you that it didn't matter. Moreover, if you serve in the Imperial City in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with various departments, and it is necessary to know the importance of this. ”
After a pause, he said: "Actually, although this hunting conference is to recruit talents, so that the younger generation, especially the children of the poor family, can have the opportunity to show their strengths, but in the final analysis, it is because of him. ”
Canghai's eyes widened and said, "Because of him...... Are you saying that this hunting convention is for him?"
Zhou Hedao: "You can also say the same. ”
Canghai said: "This is the scale of gathering the younger generation of cultivators from all over the country, what kind of person is he, who can have such a big face, and let the whole country hold a trial conference specifically for him?"
Zhou Hedao: "He was born in a field farmer, and his mother made a living by planting mulberry and raising silkworms, and he was lonely since he was a child. Because he was brought up by his mother alone, he took his mother's surname, so his surname was Fan. Although his life was poor, his mother had a hand-copied copy of the superior exercises, and urged him to practice diligently every day. He is tenacious by nature, relying on a book of exercises to teach himself, even if he lacks many resources compared to others, among his peers, it is almost difficult to find opponents. ”
Canghai said: "It turns out that he was also born poor. ”
Zhou Hedao: "Yes, this alone is particularly rare, it can be seen that he usually has put in a lot of hard work." Of course, such a background experience is not enough to amaze the world, these things were only discovered after he came to the imperial city to recognize his relatives. ”
Canghai said: "Recognize relatives?"
Zhou Hedao: "A year ago, his mother died of illness, and before she died, she revealed a shocking secret, it turned out that his biological father had been alive all along, and he lived in the imperial city. The exercises he practiced were copies that his father had specially copied and left behind. After holding a funeral for his mother, he sold all his belongings and replaced them with coils, and traveled thousands of miles to the imperial city to recognize his relatives, which set off a monstrous wave. ”
Canghai said: "What, his father doesn't recognize him?"
Zhou He said: "That's not it. The first time he came to the Imperial City, he didn't know anyone, and he refused to give his father's name, so it was naturally extremely difficult to find, and he was kicked out by the guards several times when he wanted to enter the middle city. Later, in a fit of rage, he simply ran to the downtown and set up a ring, threatening that the imperial city of Nuoda was known as a master of countless masters, but no one could recognize his teacher's origin, which made people laugh in vain. ”
Canghai smiled: "This is exactly the same as the strategy of the Wu seniors in the ring back then, isn't it that he is looking for the Wu seniors? Ah, no, the Wu seniors are surnamed Wu, not Wang." ”
Zhou He said: "He looks down on the Imperial City, and the scope of this stick is large." The people in the imperial city were naturally unconvinced, and they went to him to fight. A few days have passed, hundreds of fights have been fought, and no one really recognizes the origin of his exercises, which can't help but be amazing. ”
Canghai said: "That's weird. What kind of exercises is he practicing, can't even the adults in the Imperial City see it?"
Zhou He said: "He's just a hairy boy, and people with a bit of status are just young people playing around, who will have the same knowledge as him? So at the beginning, he was all market hooligans, gentlemen, or disciples of various sects. Those people were beaten down by him as soon as they went up, and they didn't even see how he made a move, let alone what exercises he recognized. ”
"Those who are of low rank beat him, but when he goes back, he will come out one after another with high ranks. There were several sect masters who approached him, and although they won and lost, they couldn't tell him why he was the origin of his exercises. After the news spread, it finally attracted the attention of adults. The four major families have secretly sent people to find out, and this time it is a terrible thing. ”
Canghai said: "What?"
Zhou He said: "Other people don't know, but how profound are the four major families? He went through the tricks with the people of the four major families one by one, and the four kings recognized it below, and suddenly there was an undercurrent, and they quarreled with each other. ”
Canghai scratched his head and said: "Senior Zhou, don't play dumb riddles, can you explain it directly, what kind of exercises is he practicing, and why are the four major families alarmed?"
Zhou He smiled and said, "It's boring to say it all at once." You guess. ”
Canghai said: "I have only been in the imperial city for a few days, and there are only a handful of people I know, but I can't guess it." ”
Zhou He shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the master of this exercise, although many people have not seen it, everyone knows it." ”
Canghai was surprised: "Everyone knows, you can't say ...... Dao Chief, right?"
Zhou Yi was stunned and said, "What Dao chief?"
Canghai said: "Tianji Dao Chief." He is the master of the Tianji Gate, and he is the only one who deserves the name known to the world. Except for him, others may not be able to afford such a big turmoil. ”
Zhou He laughed and said, "Mr. Tianji is famous, if he hears what you say, he will have to blow his beard and stare at him in anger." ”
Canghai said: "If it's not him, who else can it be?"
Cang Baizhong sighed and said: "Silly boy, first, everyone knows the master of the exercises, second, people outside the palace can't recognize it, but the four major families can see it at a glance, which means that the person must be a person from the palace, and third, Wang Nai is the surname of the country." Your Uncle Zhou has already made it so clear. Can't you guess that?"
Canghai was still confused, and said, "Country surname?"
Zhou He said: "Yes, the current lord of our Rock Country, Emperor Yun, is surnamed Wang. ”
The sea was stunned for a while.
