The morning light is slightly opened, yin and yang alternate, at this time, the aura of heaven and earth rises from the ground, which is a good time for practice.

Walking on the path between the mountains, Fang Shuo came back from his meditation, straightened his back, and began to meditate on the carriage to refine his qi. The curtain was windless and automatic, and even Fang Shuo's hair was brought up. Two red vertical lines appeared at the center of the eyebrows, one on the left and one on the right, and there was a faint red line in the middle. After Fang Shuo settled down, there was no change, only with the chaotic swing of the carriage.

This was originally a cold and lonely mountain road, and it was noisy by one person and one horse. From afar, the sound of horses' hooves is clear, Xiaoxuan is jolting and shaking, and the long wheel is creaking, but the mountains and forests here are becoming more and more secluded.

"Here, I don't know which Taoist friend it is, why don't you show up to meet you. If Fang Shuo disturbs your purity, he should make amends. Fang Shuo suddenly opened his mouth and said loudly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just an occasional passing. You and I just meet in the water, why bother to meet. What's more, there are still important things to do now, so take the first step. A hoarse voice sounded, and then there was no more.

"Sneaky, afraid to see people, eighty percent of them have ghosts in their hearts. Hmph, this can be encountered, who believes it, even fools don't believe it. Fang Shuo sneered.

After passing through Fujin, crossing the Lianhui Bridge, crossing the Danjiang Estuary, and then traveling in a carriage for a few days, Fang Shuo returned to Lingquan.

At this time, it was just past noon, and the street was still the same as before, but there was a lack of He Yan, who had been making noise all day.

Shaking his head, dusting off the dust, and not stopping for more, Fang Shuo came to He Mansion first.

After entering the gate, the subordinates had already reported, and his father and mother came one after another.

Father He Nianjun opened his mouth first and asked, "Fang Shuo, why did you come back." Hey, what about Yan'er, why didn't Yan'er come back with you. Is there something wrong? ”

Fang Shuo replied: "No, no, how could it be." He Yan is still studying art with my master in the mountains, and he can't come back for a while, so I came to report safety to you and your aunt. ”

He Mu Yang Shanai hurriedly asked Fang Shuo: "How is Yan'er, is the life on the mountain hard, is he still used to living?" ”

Fang Shuo said: "He Yan is very good, although the days on the mountain are hard, but they are very beneficial to cultivation. Now, He Yan's cultivation is considered to be the beginning. ”

"Really? That's great. He Mu said happily, "We have to celebrate." Fang Shuo, you have to stay for a meal. After a while, I'll go buy some food and clothes for Yan'er, so that you can bring them to him. Alas, Yan Er is picky, and he doesn't know the food there, he is used to eating it, but don't lose weight. ”

Fang Shuo excused himself and said, "Master has a life, return to Xuanyue Mountain quickly." I'll be leaving later. ”

He Mu Yang Shanai frowned and said, "Why did you have to leave just when you came back, I didn't know that you would come back at this time, and there were a lot of things that were not prepared." What can I do? ”

"Okay, it's good to know that Yan'er is safe. Fang Shuo still has his master's life with him, so it's not good for us to keep him. Fang Shuo, you kid remember to always urge Yan'er to practice. I know his character best, he is the best at being lazy and slippery, and he is good at causing trouble. Also, tell him to remember this home, and tell him to come down the mountain as soon as possible and come back to see us. Don't be wild, running around all over the world, not knowing how to go home. ”

Fang Shuo replied, "The kid knows. I'll definitely tell He Yan. Uncles and aunts, please rest assured. ”

Father and Mother He sent it again and again, Fang Shuo finally left He's mansion and pulled the carriage to his cabin. Everything in the house is the same as before, six tea paper packets, still neatly placed there.

Fang Shuo laughed at himself: "I only care about He Yan's affairs, I forgot about you, my memory is really bad." ”

After carefully tidying up the house, Fang Shuo decided not to come back after leaving Lingquan this time.

As soon as it got dark, Fang Shuo was still cleaning up. Unexpectedly, two uninvited guests came outside the door, one was a white-bearded brocade-clothed veteran, and the other was a tall middle-aged man with a fierce face.

Among the two, Jinyi Lao Dao opened his mouth first, and asked loudly, "Your Excellency is Fang Shuo?" ”

Fang Shuo put down the clutter in his hand, turned to look outside the house, and asked, "I don't know what happened to the two of you?" ”

The tall middle-aged man answered and shouted: "The two of us are scattered people in Yangqu, Yuzhou, and I heard that there is a Taoist friend named Fang Shuo here. Today I am here to invite you to go to Yuzhou. ”

"What, you want to invite me to dinner? Don't be so troublesome, the food in the boiled water building here is first-class, why don't we just set up a table there? Moreover, I heard your accent, dude, very familiar, have we met somewhere? Fang Shuo waved his hand and smiled.

"We've never met. Don't pretend to be confused for me, Yuzhou will be in the alliance, and all cultivators in the world know it. This time, I'm asking you to ask for a reward. If you are prosperous in the future, don't forget us. The tall middle-aged man glanced at the brocade clothes and promised to say.

"It turned out to be the Yuzhou Alliance. Although it is said that it is lonely and unheard, the Tianque Tower in Yuzhou is famous, how can I not know. Two of you, you are here to invite me for Tianque Tower today? Fang Shuo said respectfully.

The tall middle-aged monk denied: "Naturally not, the two of us just see that you are still a talent, and I hope to persuade you to go to Yuzhou to show your strengths, I think you will be able to do a lot." ”

"Alas, I am used to being idle, and I have no ambitions, and I am used to living a mundane life. I won't go so far away from Yuzhou. Fang Shuo shook his head and said.

Jinyi Lao Dao opened his mouth and said, "Don't you want to go to Qingzhou Donghai League?" ”

Fang Shuo was puzzled and puzzled: "Why do I want to go to Qingzhou?" ”

Jinyi Lao Dao snorted coldly and said, "Mei Lao'er's two children have already come to invite you." ”

Fang Shuo didn't deny it, nodded and said, "There is such a thing, but I also rejected them." ”

Jinyi Lao Dao sneered again and said, "I don't think so." ”

Fang Shuo was surprised, and said with a smile: "Why did Your Excellency say this? ”

With a cold snort, the old man in brocade stroked his long beard and asked, "You sent the son of the He family to Xuanyue Mountain, and let him worship your master." Am I right? ”

Fang Shuo was still puzzled, and asked Lao Dao, "What's so strange about this." I have been friends with He Yan for many years, and if he wants to practice, I will send him to Xuanyue Mountain to apprentice, what's wrong with this. ”

The middle-aged monk answered and shouted, "Don't you really know that He Fu has a lot to do with the Mei family in Qingzhou?" ”

"You know even that? But so what, the relationship between hundreds of years ago is not worth your effort. Fang Shuo shook his head and said.

The middle-aged monk said affirmatively: "Hmph, the Mei family's dragon and phoenix personally came to invite you, and you sent the only son of the He family to Xuanyue Mountain on the same day." Could it be such a coincidence? He also said that you didn't accept the solicitation of the East China Sea Alliance, so do you really think others are fools? ”

"This ......" Fang Shuo was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. When you think about it, I really think that's the case. The brothers and sisters of the Mei family did come to the door to invite themselves. However, everything is due to He Yan. The reason is that He Yan fell in love with Mei Yiqing and failed to persuade her. For Mei Yiqing's sake, He Yan decided to apprentice and practice. But the problem is that he really wasn't ready to go to Qingzhou Donghai League, and he didn't want to go. It's really just a coincidence.

"If you don't eat the toast, you have to eat the penalty wine. Let me ask you again, will you go to Yuzhou? If you want to change your mind now, then it's okay to say, if not, Hugh blames you for it. The middle-aged monk threatened loudly.

Fang Shuo defended: "This matter is not clear for a while, but I don't want to go to Yuzhou or Qingzhou." ”

"Looks like we have to do it." The middle-aged monk warned.

Fang Shuo was overwhelmed, and also warned the middle-aged monk: "If you two want to ask for a glass of wine, I will naturally welcome it. But if you want to fight, then I will definitely accompany you. ”

The middle-aged monk was furious when he heard this, and shouted, "What rude. As soon as he finished speaking, the tall middle-aged man pulled out an eight-sided snowflake hammer from his sleeve and rushed up to fight.

Fang Shuo laughed angrily when he heard this, and threatened: "If you come uninvited, forget it." As soon as you came here, you were aggressive, and you made a lot of nonsense in front of my house, and now you call me rude, which is really overbearing and arrogant, and it is unreasonable. Come on, you think I'm afraid you won't make it. ”

With a wave of his left sleeve, Fang Shuo raised his right hand and condensed his palm.

The old man in brocade made a round and shouted: "Wait." ”

The middle-aged monk suddenly stopped, turned back to the old man in brocade and shouted, "This Fang Shuo can't be persuaded. He didn't listen to what he said, and he would only be convinced if he hit him to his knees and beg for mercy. ”

"I have my own measure, don't worry about it." Jinyi Lao Dao said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Fang Shuo said to the old Daoist in brocade: "The juniors are polite, I don't know what to call this Dao Chief?" ”

The old man in Jinyi stroked his beard and said: "The nationality is unknown, if it is convenient, you can call me Yuhua." ”

"It turned out to be Yuhua Dao Chief, I don't know what the chief has to teach?" Fang Shuoli asked.

Yuhua Lao Dao said coldly: "There is nothing to teach. Fang Shuo, you are a smart person. I don't care if you have made a decision or not, you have to remember that the world is like falling into the abyss. If you want to protect yourself, you must not be neutral. Otherwise, under the undercurrent, you will only be pulled to pieces by the torrent. ”

Fang Shuo bowed and saluted: "Boy, thank you for the reminder, Daigo's words should be kept in mind." ”

"Hmph." Yuhua snorted coldly, turned around and left.

The middle-aged monk hurriedly said, "Elder Yuhua, this Fang Shuo is so rude, is it just that?" ”

Yuhua Lao Dao turned to the middle-aged monk and said coldly: "If you want to do it, just do it yourself." ”

After speaking, Yuhua Lao Dao didn't care about the middle-aged monk anymore and left.

The tall middle-aged monk looked back at Fang Shuo with a face full of resentment, sighed fiercely unwillingly, and left with Yuhua Laodao.

Fang Shuo smiled: "It's better to stay together and come in for a cup of tea." I have someone else to give me a good dragon well. ”

Lao Dao turned around and sneered: "Bastard, put away your ghost tricks, can't I really break the game you laid out?" You're still too young, and the old man doesn't want to ruin you. ”

Fang Shuo smiled and said: "The kid's micro end Dao Xing, where can he get into the eyes of the Dao Chief, some means are just for self-preservation." I sincerely hope to stay for a long time to taste tea. ”

Old Dao Yuhua also ignored Fang Shuo and left the cabin with the middle-aged monk.

Seeing the two of them leaving, and making sure that they would not come back, Fang Shuo made a move, only to see a flash of light in the room, condensing into a virtual picture in Fang Shuo's hand.

"That's amazing." Fang Shuo muttered.
