Congjiang Mansion, a famous city and a large county in ancient times, is an extremely rich place, the whole county has 5 million acres of land, each mu can produce three stones of rice, and cotton, tea, rape, all have.

The big river stretches through the border to reach the Yangtze River, and the wharf of water and drought is distributed with hundreds of goods, and the scenery is pleasant. Climb high and see, but see the river flat like a mirror, painting sailing and fishing boats, countless rivers and harbors, crisscrossing between the streets and alleys.

One hundred and thirty-one famous gardens in the whole county, twenty-one towers, forty-six temples, thirty-one views, scattered and caused, the pavilions and pavilions are dotted all over the place, and the end is the best place.

On December 8, the eighteenth year of the Ming Dynasty, the holy decree arrived, and a number of things were rewarded, although the things were not much, but it was a signal, and suddenly, the "Theory of the Original Intent of Benevolence" immediately began to sell well.

The first edition of "The Theory of the Original Intent of Benevolence" was published in 11,000 copies, in fact, Lu Hou had already planned to lose money at that time, and at the beginning, it was indeed the case, and 1,500 copies were sold in three months.

However, as soon as the decree was issued, the entire southern Shilin immediately became a sensation, and the praise was overwhelming, and the remaining 9,500 copies were sold out within a month, and one volume was sold at a small profit, and even got 3,000 taels of silver.

After a while, there were students, in the name of students, came to visit the Li Mansion, of course, the Li Mansion is now the Jue Mansion, and Fang Xin is the official residence of the Sixth Grade, so the bachelors who come must at least be Xiucai, more of a lifter.

In the cold spring of December, on the one hand, the government made every effort to deal with political affairs and raise and suppress the southwest, and on the other hand, Fang Xin was writing the second book "The Theory of the Original Intent of Enlightenment"

The core is this sentence: the teacher is benevolent, the person is polite, and the teacher is not transformed. Rude and sinful, disrespectful and untaught, unkind and abusive (some clerical errors in the front)

And at this moment, the team from the southwest finally came.

The winter was wet and cold, and for several days, it was cloudy and drizzling. In the drizzle, there were some snowflakes, sleet, and fine snow mixed with rain and mist.

At noon, winter clouds rolled in the sky, one after another. The snow and rain fell, and I saw a carriage galloping, crossing the Xiying Bridge, and going straight to the front of the Li Mansion, where the coachman wiped a handful of snow and water, and was about to come down, when a doorman at the door. I am joking and gossiping with my companion. When he saw it, he said, "Hey, this is the Li Mansion, what are you doing at the door?" ”

The young man was stunned, looked at the door and said, "We are just going to enter the Li Mansion, is this Li Rui's home?" ”

"Li Rui is what you can say?" The doorman immediately scolded.

At this moment, a person was already greeted outside the door, and when the two doormen saw it, they immediately became half a cut shorter. said, "Miss Dai, why did you come out?" ”

It was Ebel, Abel at this time, gorgeously dressed, for a year. It was a bit extravagant. She said, "This is my guest, and I have permission from my lordship." Let them in! ”

"Yes!" The two guards immediately gave way to the side door. There was a gate at the east end, which was the side door, and at that moment the young man led the carriage in, and came to a large compound, and on the east side was the stable, and the horses and mules were a little noisy, and Ebel stepped forward and gave a few orders, and someone immediately took it.

The carriage came down and it was Davisy, Dankani, Ithikaren, and Buster, and Abel said yes, and led them into the courtyard, and when they got inside, they saw some houses, and in them were some people in green shirts, all drinking tea, telling jokes, and making tea, and the aroma of the tea stove filled the courtyard.

"These are all guests who come to visit, even if they are the worst, they are also a showman, and they are generally lifted, and they come to visit, ask friends, and papers." Abel said with a smile.

"The Li Mansion is raising them like this?"

"No, of course they have gifts, but in fact, they still make a little bit of money in the house." As the five of them walked along the western shore of a lake, Abel looked at Buster, "Does your injury matter?" ”

"It doesn't matter, it's recovered, there are so many powerhouses in this world." Buster said with a little annoyance, the previous little arrogance has been all knocked out.

Davisy looked at the blue and cold water, and as he walked, he asked, "It seems that you have a good place, how is the situation here?" ”

"It's not immersive," Abel said, "and sometimes, it's hard to imagine that this empire is full of mysterious powers, and it's so huge. Davisy nodded and said, "What I said is that we really suffered this loss this time!" ”

A gust of cold wind swept across the lake, the reflection of the pavilions, vertical platforms, and corridors in the distance was on the surface of the lake, and some of the old leaves still existed, floating with the wind, and the lake water was clear.

Turning around a bamboo forest, we came to a separate courtyard, and Abel said, "This is where I live now, yes, there are two houses, we can live more than enough." ”

"Then this Li Rui, how is the situation now?" Idikaren asked with concern.

"That's what I want to say, but let's go inside." At this time, a beautiful girl greeted her, and when she saw the four people behind, a trace of surprise appeared, and she bent down and saluted: "Miss." ”

"Go, talk to the kitchen, have a dinner today, I haven't used up this month's preparation yet!"

"Yes, it didn't work."

"Okay, you go down and inform!"

"Yes, Miss!" The girl saluted again, glanced at the four of them, and went out—now everyone knew that Miss Dai Bei was special in the house.

"She seems hesitant?" Davisy watched her go out and said.

"Of course, the rules in the house here are relatively strict, and I, a woman, brought someone here, so naturally I was a little hesitant." Abel said disapprerovingly, "Is your situation going on?" ”

"My Dark Force has largely recovered, but I still can't reach its peak." Davisy smiled wryly and said, "There is a force here that has cut off our original connection. ”

"So do we!" Everyone else was talking.

Ventilation with each other, it is found that the average strength is controlled between the best percent.

Between the gossip and chat, the snow and rain outside became heavier and heavier, falling to the eaves of the upper floor in front of the door, dripping down.

It didn't take long for me to see an old man outside, leading four slaves, carrying food boxes and wine, and walking forward.

"Deacon Huang, are you here?" Abel greeted him.

"Well, the third lady knows, and specially ordered me to send wine and food, as well as some new clothes." It was an old man who was about fifty years old, and although he was skinny, his eyes were very attentive, but he was one of the three deacons in the house.

"Then thank you, they will live here in the future, and I will pay for the expenses." Abel said.

"No need, the lord has already ordered me to come over, and in the future, I will allocate an extra twenty taels of silver per month, and the money and rice will be treated as usual." Deacon Huang glanced at these people again, said, and then ordered the servants behind him to bring up the wine and food, put on the hot pot, light the fire, and then took his leave.

The girl boiled the water, so the four of them washed, and then put on new clothes, warm and comfortable, the four of them sighed, went to the table to eat, although the dish was cold, but the hot pot was still hot, and the food was also very refreshing.

When she was done, Abel didn't wait for the four of them to ask her, and said, "Come with me to the room!" ”

The four of them followed, and at this time, Abel's body was the same green light, and then the room was also lit up with some green light, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Look! ”

In the middle of the room, a phantom of Fang Xindi appeared, his eyes closed, and his body was covered with white light.

"This is the shape I recorded, and I don't know the mystery inside, but you see, it has changed over time, especially in the past six months."

The brilliance of this Fang Xin slowly and steadily became bigger and brighter, but at a certain time, all of a sudden, the brilliance lit up violently, emitting a brilliant bright light, and everyone present couldn't help but close their eyes.

After a while, you could see that Fang Xin's light had risen to the sky, nearly ten times more powerful than before, and it was still slowly increasing!

"Such a powerful force, I can feel that this light is quite pure, and it is not repelled by darkness, is this the secret of Fang Xin's strength? Or rather, the secret of the great power of the Eastern Empire? ”

"Well, I suggest that we don't have to run around, as long as we study and record the changes in Fang Xin, it is enough." Abel said thoughtfully, "I feel that his power is getting stronger and stronger, and he has the cooperation and response of the local world. ”

"Everyone should understand that the biggest problem for us to go to any location is that we are rejected by the local world, the stronger the strength, the more so, but Fang Xin has not been ostracized, and will also gain the recognition and support of the local world, this is what we need, and it should also be the most powerful secret of the empire, so it is best for us to follow Fang Xin."

"Well, you're right, we should study this, after all, all worlds have repulsive power, not a different world of civilization, and the repulsive force is stronger." Davisy nodded and said, "Then how do we follow Fang Xin?" ”

"Cooperate with him, get close to him, observe him, he used to be very interested in us, I thought, we can officially join his family, join his organization, what do you think?" Abel asked.

"Yes, I originally meant this, the world is too big, we can't just look at it in generalities, we make a specific plan to better achieve the goal." Davisy said.

The five of them got together and began to discuss closely, and before they knew it, the rain and snow outside had stopped.
