Although the carriage ride is comfortable and stable on the road, it is true that it is not as fast as riding a horse, but fortunately, Surabaya is not far away, and it is only a one-day journey away, and Fang Shuo's group has arrived.

The Mei family in Surabaya, on the boundary of Qingzhou, is like Tianque Tower in Yuzhou, which is a little ugly, called "Emperor of the Soil", and a wealthy family who holds a state of cattle ears. But how much scenery there is, how many people have to hold grudges. Some people just don't have other skills, and their eyes are red and covetous. However, there is no way to do it, no matter how heavy the laws of poetry, books, etiquette, and human law are, the word jealousy is engraved in people's souls, and no matter how you wipe it, you can't get it clean.

This group of people, all the way unimpeded, came straight to the gate of Meifu.

After getting out of the carriage, Fang Shuo just glanced up, and the Mei family's many years of heritage came to his face.

There is no world, ordinary rich people go to great lengths to find someone to carve the stone lion, there is no, can not hug the red lacquer shining door pillar, even the gate is quite old and blackened old guys, only the plaque on the door "Meifu" two words, it looks majestic and atmospheric.

But as soon as he stood in front of the door, Fang Shuo only felt that the entire Mei Mansion had turned into a lair of ancient fierce beasts, and the pavilions and corridors inside were like a dead and silent black abyss in a secluded ravine, and a deep valley that silently devoured people under the ocean. It seemed that as long as he took a step forward, the beast would rush out and bite Fang Shuo's body, sucking his soul.

Everyone else entered the Mei Mansion, but Fang Shuo stood in front of the door without moving, and when Mei Yanhuan saw it, he approached and asked softly, "Brother Fang, why are you standing in front of the door but not going in?" ”

Fang Shuo came back to his senses and said: "Meifu is extraordinary, I was fascinated for a while, and I was a little addicted, which made Mei Gongzi smile." ”

"Where would Yan Huan make fun of Brother Fang, this mansion outside has really been around for some years, and it makes Brother Fang laugh. However, the environment in the house is quiet and elegant, and Brother Fang may wish to enjoy it anywhere. Mei Yanhuan said politely.

Fang Shuo responded: "This is very good, I am welcome." ”

Mei Yanhuan stretched out his hand and invited, "Brother Fang, please." ”

Fang Shuo nodded slightly, and strode into the Mei Mansion.

After entering the door and passing through the long courtyard, I first came to the small hall, where there were already maidservants and maidservants waiting for tea.

Mei Yanhuan raised his glass and smiled: "Everyone, my father is not in the mansion now, so I will entertain you here." You can first go around and enjoy the scenery, and then gather in Qingxuan Pavilion when you are familiar with the courtyards. I have ordered a dinner party to be prepared, and I invite you to enjoy it. ”

Fang Shuo asked, "Senior Mei is not here at this time?" ”

"My father and sister are now in Yuzhou." Mei Yanhuan replied truthfully.

He Yan was shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "What, Miss Mei is in Yuzhou!" That day, Que Lou wouldn't do anything to Miss Mei! ”

"Brother He, don't worry, my father and sister-in-law are together, Tianque Lou doesn't dare to do anything to them, at this time, the two of us are only slightly frictional, and we haven't reached the point where the swords are facing each other." Mei Yanhuan said.

"That's not good, after all, it's in a land of right and wrong, and some people will inevitably lose their hearts." He Yan said urgently.

Fang Shuo hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed He Yan, and said with a smile: "Miss Mei doesn't let her eyebrows go, she is really a heroine among women, which is really admirable." When the two of us first came to your land, we couldn't hold back the curiosity in our hearts, so we went around first. ”

After speaking, Fang Shuo pulled He Yan and walked towards the mansion. He Yan was about to say more, but he was pulled away by Fang Shuo.

Walking through the small hall and through a lakeside promenade, Fang Shuo and He Yan came to the inner garden of Meifu. There are many flowers and plants in the garden, but the precious plants are very rare. Although the rockery is strange, it is just the same as He Yan's home, and it is not unique. There is not a single koi in the lake under the pavilion, in comparison, there are even two or three in the lake in He Yan's home.

Fang Shuoqi said: "In the Mei Mansion, is there no one who is interested in taking care of this garden?" It's a real wonder. ”

He Yan squatted to the side and didn't talk, as if he was sulking at Fang Shuo.

Fang Shuo walked back and forth twice in front of his eyes, and when he saw that He Yan still ignored him, he sighed and said helplessly: "Pull you over, it's for your own good, what are you talking about in front of Mei Yanhuan." Mei Yiqing is his own sister, doesn't he know what his sister-in-law is in in Yuzhou? Isn't he more anxious than you? Hold it down and make a good impression. ”

Hearing this, He Yan glanced at Fang Shuo twice. Seeing He Yan's face change, Fang Shuo pulled him up at once.

"Don't be angry, if you're not angry, go shopping." Fang Shuo shouted in a low voice.

He Yan still didn't say anything, just moved forward.

The two of them walked through the small lake one after the other, looked at the water pavilion again, and walked from the octagonal tower next to the promenade to the backyard, and then walked back and forth in the Mei Mansion.

He Yan was about to go further, but the maid on the side stopped him and said, "Master He, the front is the young lady's study." ”

was stopped this time, and He Yan became dull again. Turning his head, he didn't care about Fang Shuo, and walked back quickly.

Fang Shuo sighed, and after saluting the maid, he also turned to leave.

Who knows, just after taking two steps, the maid stopped Fang Shuo again.

The maid said softly: "Young Master Fang, Miss instructed that when I met you, I would give you a gift she had prepared." ”

Fang Shuo was confused for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Give it to me?" Are you sure Miss Mei personally ordered you? ”

The maid bowed slightly and replied, "There will be no mistake, it was the young lady who personally ordered me." ”

"Oh, well. Bring it to me. Fang Shuo thought about it.

In the study, a maid holding a long scroll came out, and she handed the long scroll to Fang Shuo with both hands.

After receiving it in his hand, Fang Shuo checked it and found that it was just an ordinary long scroll, and there was nothing special about it. However, Fang Shuo couldn't understand why Mei Yiqing would give him a long scroll.

Tapping the long scroll, Fang Shuo walked all the way back to the inner garden with doubts.

At this time, it was getting late, and the little maid in the inner garden saw Fang Shuo coming, and ran to announce: "Young Master Fang, my son-in-law has prepared a banquet in Qingxuan Pavilion, and the rest of the distinguished guests have already been seated, so now I will leave you alone." Childe specially asked me to inform you. ”

Fang Shuo had already put away the long scroll, and when he heard the notice from the little guy, he put aside his doubts for the time being, waved his hand and said, "Oh, then I'll go." This little brother is tired of leading the way. ”

The little servant stretched out his hand and said, "Young Master Fang, please." ”

When they came to Qingxuan Pavilion, He Yan, Jian Qingyan and Lu Laodao were all seated, and there was a young man in black on the side.

Mei Yanhuan shouted with a smile: "Brother Fang, please hurry up and enter the table, you are the only one left." ”

Fang Shuo said "it's late", and then he took a seat.

Mei Yanhuan pointed his right hand at the unknown black-clothed young man and introduced him to Fang Shuo: "I haven't introduced Brother Fang yet, this is Qu Ping, Qu Daoyou, who is now a guest in my mansion, and Yan Huan and him are friends for eight worships." ”

Qu Ping stared at Fang Shuo twice, and said expressionlessly: "Listen to Brother Mei, a few days ago, you fought with Li Si of Tianque Tower?" He also said that the two of you are not equal? ”

Fang Shuo waved his hand and chuckled, "Alas, Mei Gongzi is touting me." Where do I have what he says? It's just that Li Si's subordinates are defeated, and Mei Gongzi is taking care of my face, so he didn't tell the truth. ”

Qu Ping said: "Yan Huan never jokes, saying that if you have it, you will have it." Originally, I also wanted to fight Li Si, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity. I toast you. ”

"I don't drink alcohol under that." Fang Shuo confessed.

"Tea instead of wine." Qu Ping said.

Fang Shuo had to drink a cup of tea.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Mei Yanhuan raised his glass and said: "Qu Ping is this kind of character, Brother Fang, please don't mind." Come, everyone, Yan Huan also toasts you. ”

When it came to Li Si, Qu Ping seemed to have a fire in his heart. He kept asking about the details of Fang Shuo's fight with Li Si, and the red look in his eyes could be seen by everyone at the banquet.

Fang Shuo was a little tired of coping, and for a while, the banquet was a little unhappy. But Qu Ping seems to be this kind of character, he is easy to talk about everything else, but he always has to compete with Li Si. Even Mei Yanhuan persuaded him, but he ignored it. Lu Laodao and Jian said lightly that they only cared about eating and drinking. And He Yan's mind went to Yuzhou.

The banquet ended quickly, and when he left, Mei Yanhuan apologized to Fang Shuo for his crimes.

Fang Shuo smiled and responded easily.

It wasn't until they returned to the room that Mei Yanhuan had arranged for them that Fang Shuo was free.

took out the long scroll given by Mei Yiqing, Fang Shuo opened it and saw that it was a painting with the words "Together through thick and thin".

"Is this what you want me to stay in Qingzhou?" Fang Shuo muttered.

After thinking about it to no avail, Fang Shuo closed his clothes and went to bed, closed his eyes and thought quietly.

Not long after, Fang Shuo was wandering too empty, looking at the universe, and suddenly felt that the qi machine not far from the north was majestic, and in front of him, he was as small as insects and ants. Fang Shuo just wanted to look for it, but suddenly his soul was dazzling, as if he was approaching the scorching sun, and he suddenly sat up in shock.

Fang Shuo broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a low voice of horror: "Where is it so huge, the qi machine seems to be connected to the heavens and the earth, how can it be so terrifying." Could it be the Jedi that Lu Daochang talked about a few days ago. ”

After getting out of bed, Fang Shuo quietly went out of the door, without alarming others, and left Meifu to the north.

After traveling six or seven miles, Fang Shuo didn't see the panic in the fugue, he felt strange, and after thinking about it carefully, Fang Shuo smiled dumbly, it seemed that the huge qi machine seemed to have misjudged his own judgment. I didn't expect to be so small in front of that unknown place. Where is a few miles away, there is clearly a distance of 100 miles. I have to give up tonight and look for it tomorrow.

At that moment, Fang Shuo turned back the original way and returned to the Mei Mansion to rest.

Early the next morning, Fang Shuo got up early and went out and met Mei Yanhuan.

Mei Yanhuan raised his hand and saluted: "Brother Fang in the morning." ”

"Mei Gongzi morning." Fang Shuo returned.

Mei Yanhuan greeted: "Yanhuan thinks that he is diligent in cultivation and never gets up late. In this regard, both the father and the sister-in-law were inferior, but they didn't expect that Brother Fang would be so early. ”

Fang Shuo waved his hand and said, "I just came to Qingzhou, and I can't sleep well, I'm afraid I'm too excited." I was thinking about walking around Qingzhou, and I made up my mind in a hurry, not wanting to disturb the house. How do you know that Mei Gongzi got up early, so he will confess to Mei Gongzi next. ”

Mei Yanhuan agreed with Fang Shuo's decision very much, and warmly introduced Qingzhou: "Whether it is beautiful scenery or delicious food, Qingzhou will never disappoint Brother Fang. In particular, the long beach in the East China Sea is worth visiting. I don't know where Brother Fang wants to go first? ”

"I want to go north first, and then go to the East China Sea." Fang Shuo replied.

"Even if it takes hundreds of miles to travel, it takes thousands of miles to go back and forth. In this way, I will send someone to lead a dragon horse that can travel 80 miles a day for Brother Fang to use as a footstep. Mei Yanhuan said.

Fang Shuozuo thanked and said, "Then thank you for the kindness of Master Mei." ”

This riding a dragon horse to the north is to be faster than his own two legs. Stopping and resting along the way, Fang Shuo rode sixty or seventy miles, and finally came to a mountain forest, at this time it was sunset in the western mountains.

Dismounted from the horse and led the dragon foal to walk forward, Fang Shuo took a closer look at the night while admiring the night. He rode very fast along the way, but he was by no means a spectator, and he was very attentive to the extraordinary places he passed, but he still did not find the place where he wandered last night.

This is very distressed, after all, he is extremely unfamiliar with Qingzhou, no matter where he is looking, his eyes are black.

There was no way, Fang Shuo had to find a clean place, tie up the dragon horse, and meditate to refine his qi.

As soon as Fang Shuo entered the meditation, the aura of heaven and earth swarmed, and at this time, he actually achieved twice the result with half the effort. In an instant, Fang Shuo understood that he was now on the edge of that mystery.

Abandoning the horse and galloping, he walked a mile, but it was still too slow, Fang Shuo stepped over the branches of the dense forest, and stood on the treetops to look.

Through the moonlight, Fang Shuo saw everything clearly, and in front of him was a majestic and majestic mountain.

Qingzhou has many mountains, but only Mount Tai can have such a weather.

Raising his hand to salute, Fang Shuo bowed down and said: "Under the Wudang Sect of Xuanyue Mountain, the Emperor Xuantian of the North Pole, the first line of true martial arts, disciple Fang Shuo, meet the Emperor of Dongyue." ”
