Liu Jin opened the door suspiciously, and an old man over half a hundred years old stood at the door, the old man was dressed as a Confucian, his whole body was spotless, his clothes and hair were meticulously arranged, holding a folding fan, and he was angry.

The old man gave a standard greeting and said, "In Baichuan next week, I heard that Li Gongzi came to Piaoyun City, and he came to visit on purpose, and I bothered the little brother to report it." ”

Li Fugui heard Zhou Baichuan's words and said, "Please come in, senior Zhou." ”

Zhou Baichuan first arched his hand at Liu Jin again, and then walked into the room and bowed meticulously to Li Fugui.

Li Fugui hurriedly got up, sorted out his appearance, and returned the salute neatly. The reputation of the Zhou family, Li Fugui has already inquired clearly, and he also admires such a family of poetry and books, perhaps Li Fugui himself does not have much culture, but Li Fugui has a special feeling for readers.

In front of Zhou Baichuan, Li Fugui put away all his unruliness and became like a good baby, this is not pretentious, but respect, respect for readers.

When Zhao Zhulin saw Zhou Baichuan, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he arched his hand casually, which was regarded as a greeting.

Zhao Baichuan was different, he still bowed meticulously to Zhao Zhulin, and even he was not negligent to Li Yi, and he also greeted him impeccably.

Li Yi was flattered and hurriedly returned a salute, he was so big, although he learned a lot of poetry and book etiquette, but it was the first time to salute so seriously.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Li Fugui invited Zhou Baichuan to take a seat, and at the same time transmitted the message to Li Yi and asked him to take out the spiritual tea and brew it.

The tea that Li Fugui usually drinks is used to entertain the old and coarse, and to entertain a scholar like Zhou Baichuan, naturally he can't use such tea.

A large part of Li Fugui's attitude towards scholars comes from the teachings of his father, who is a real local farmer who has to take care of trivial matters on weekdays. But when it comes to scholars, he is never stingy, and he is very generous, and whatever is good at home, he will take it out in one go, which is a kind of respect.

Zhou Baichuan sat on the chair, put his hands upright on his knees, raised his head and chest, and sat upright. Seeing Zhou Baichuan's appearance, Li Fugui couldn't help but straighten his chest to make himself look less lazy.

Zhou Baichuan arched his hand and said, "I heard that Li Gongzi has some small friction with the Demon Beast Building, and the old man still has a little thin face in the Demon Beast Building, do you need the old man to help Li Gongzi say yes?"

Li Fugui hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Thank you Senior Zhou for your kindness, this little matter will not trouble the seniors, and the kid can handle it himself." ”

Zhou Baichuan nodded and said: "A gentleman should cultivate himself with virtue and temperament, remember to guard against arrogance and rashness, the ancients said: the husband and gentleman's trip, when righteousness, when to help the weak, when self-discipline, when filial piety, when good friends, when pure heart, when reasonable, when ......"

Zhao Zhulin on the side couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted: "Zhou Daoyou, it's okay, don't chant the scriptures, ...... today"

Li Fugui looked at Zhao Zhulin coldly, and said softly: "Zhao Daoyou, do you have anything else?" ”

Zhao Zhulin's words were interrupted, he didn't dare to be angry, picked up the red invitation again, and said: "I came this time to send an invitation to Li Gongzi, and there is nothing else, if you ......"

Li Fugui took out a golden invitation from the storage bracelet, put it on the table, and said, "If it's okay, please poop, I still have to entertain Senior Zhou, so I won't give it to you." ”

The moment Li Fugui took out the golden invitation, except for Zhou Baichuan and the two demon beasts, the rest of the people present took a breath of cool air.

Although the Zhao family was able to get golden invitations in previous years, but this year is different, there are many disciples of wealthy families and big sects in Piaoyun City, and this year's golden invitations have been divided by them, so Zhao Zhulin used the red invitation to curry favor with Li Fugui. But now, the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, Zhao Zhulin embarrassedly put away the invitation, and gave a salute before hurriedly withdrawing, if it weren't for his red face, I'm afraid he would be ashamed to die here.

This golden invitation was specially sent to Li Fugui by someone from Wende Commercial Bank, and the night before he left Tianshui City, after Zhang Guoshun left the Pill Pavilion, an old man in a red robe sent it to him.

After Zhao Zhulin left, Li Fugui bowed his hand apologetically to Zhou Baichuan and said, "It's rude, please forgive Senior Zhou." ”

Zhou Baichuan smiled and said, "Li Gongzi is polite. ”

Li Fugui continued to ask: "Senior Zhou came this time, I don't know what is important?"

Zhou Baichuan took out a few jade slips and said: "I heard Yi'er mention it a few days ago, saying that Li Gongzi vigorously collected ancient books in Tianshui City, and my Zhou family has nothing else, if you want to talk about ancient books, in the entire Piaoyun City, even in the entire Zhongzhou Empire, my Zhou family's collection of books can be ranked in the top three." However, I couldn't give the ancient books to Li Gongzi, and I asked my clan to rub them down, so I gave them to Li Gongzi. ”

In fact, Zhou Baichuan didn't like Li Fugui very much before, and felt that Li Fugui was not only domineering but also murderous, but after receiving a large number of sound transmission jade slips from Zhou Yi, he gradually changed his opinion. Among them, there are two very important points that made Zhou Baichuan change his opinion, one is that Li Fugui never bullied the scattered cultivators, and tried his best to help the scattered cultivators, and the other is that Li Fugui likes ancient books and spends a lot of energy and financial resources to collect ancient books.

As everyone knows, Li Fugui did not like ancient books to collect ancient books, but to collect news from Ziyuan, in order not to arouse the suspicion of other forces, so he took great pains to collect ancient books.

Li Fugui respectfully took the jade slip, carefully stored the storage bracelet, and was about to thank Zhou Baichuan from the bottom of his heart, when the voice of the proton sounded in his head: "Ask him about Ziyuan, their family may know." ”

Proton's words startled Li Fugui, you must know that the topic of Ziyuan has always been a taboo in the Aura Continent, the three major empires and the major top sects have all vigorously swept away all the news about Ziyuan, even today, thousands of years later, Ziyuan only exists in various folk rumors.

If you rashly ask Zhou Baichuan, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of people with a heart, and if you leak your identity or that of Proton, I am afraid that no one will be able to protect yourself. Even Liu Jin, who had been following him, Li Fugui was also treating his broken arm injury, and quietly left an imperceptible prohibition in his body, as long as Liu Jin dared to reveal the slightest bit, the prohibition would attack immediately, even if he was a king-level cultivator, he would die instantly.

Proton continued: "Zhou family, I have vague memories, but I can't remember specific things, there is only one feeling that they are trustworthy. There are too few Ziyuan materials circulating in the world now, and we are looking for a needle in a haystack when we look for it like this, and we don't know when we will find it, so let's ask. ”

Li Fugui pondered for a while, but decided to listen to Proton, looked at Zhou Baichuan and asked, "Senior Zhou, the kid has something to ask for advice." ”

Zhou Baichuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Li Fugui casually made a soundproofing ban, shrouded the two of them in it, and said solemnly: "The kid wants to inquire about some secrets, and I also ask Senior Zhou not to pass it into the ears of a third person." ”

Zhou Baichuan also became serious, pondered for a moment, then nodded, and said: "I guarantee in the reputation of the Zhou family that today's conversation between you and me will never reach the ears of a third person. ”

Li Fugui leaned into Zhou Baichuan's ear and said softly: "Senior, the kid wants to inquire about Ziyuan. ”

When he said this, Li Fugui's sea of knowledge had already condensed a golden needle, and the puppets in the storage bracelet were all ready, as long as Zhou Baichuan was a little wrong, Li Fugui planned to kill him here, even if it offended the entire Zhou family, he couldn't let the news be revealed.

Hearing Li Fugui's words, Zhou Baichuan looked at Li Fugui, his eyes burst out with a terrifying cold light, and his whole body suddenly burst out, completely enveloping Li Fugui, and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?"

Zhou Baichuan's reaction surprised Li Fugui, he seemed to be more afraid of the news leaking than himself, Li Fugui couldn't help but think: "Could it be that the Zhou family and Ziyuan really have a relationship?"

Although Zhou Baichuan's momentum was terrifying, Li Fugui was still calm, and said softly: "If the seniors know the news of Ziyuan, please let me know, the kid must be very grateful." ”

Zhou Baichuan realized at this time that his reaction was a little bigger, he put away the momentum of his whole body, his expression softened, and he returned to that gentle appearance, and said: "The old man is out of shape, please forgive Li Gongzi, but this is ...... , This Ziyuan has always been a taboo topic, and the old decay doesn't know it, I'm afraid I can't help Li Gongzi. ”

After speaking, Zhou Baichuan was about to get up and leave, Li Fugui frowned, and wanted to make a move, but Proton said in time: "Don't do it, he won't say it, after the auction, let's go to Zhou's house, they must know something." ”

Li Fugui pondered for a moment, waved his hand to remove the soundproofing ban, gave a deep salute to Zhou Baichuan, and said: "Please also ask Senior Zhou to keep his promise, the kid is grateful." ”

Zhou Baichuan's face was a little unnatural, nodded and said, "Li Gongzi don't worry. ”

After speaking, Zhou Baichuan walked out quickly, without the slightest scholarly demeanor.

Li Yi and Liu Jin both knew that they had talked about some important things, since Li Fugui didn't want the two of them to know, and the two didn't ask, Li Yi didn't want to know too much, for fear of getting burned.

As for Liu Jin, he guessed that the conversation between the two must be related to the proton in Li Fugui's body, or Ziyuan, in fact, Liu Jin had already discovered the prohibition left by Li Fugui in his body, but he never said it, just to make Li Fugui feel at ease, at least now Liu Jin has no second heart for Li Fugui, so he did not remove the prohibition.

After Zhou Baichuan left the inn, he didn't stop for half a minute, rushed back to Zhou's house non-stop, and directly entered Zhou Heng's cultivation room.

Zhou Heng was slightly surprised when he saw Zhou Baichuan's anxious appearance, Zhou Baichuan had an excellent heart, it stands to reason that even if the world is in chaos, it is impossible for him to lose his temper so much, so Zhou Heng opened his mouth and asked: "Baichuan, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhou Baichuan put down a soundproofing ban, and then he came to Zhou Heng's ear and talked about it in detail.
