Chapter 68: Xuantian Dousu
Jiuhuan Island is on the boundary of Chun'an, Yangzhou, and enjoys the reputation of the world's first beautiful water.
On the way to Yunmengze earlier, Fang Shuo met an unknown Taoist friend. After Fang Shuo talked to him, the other party actually said that the Xuanshuang real person of Cuifeng Mountain would go to Jiuhuan Island to give a lecture next month. I don't know if it's a coincidence, just on Yilan Mountain, Gongsun regret also revealed to Fang Shuo that Qu Ping and Yu Lechen will go to Jiuhuan Island.
Regardless of whether this Xuanshuang real person is true or not, why do even Qu Ping and Yu Lechen have to go to Jiuhuan Island? Could it be that this nine-ring island is the next Donghai Village? Will it be another fight?
It is useless to say more, but seeing is believing. Now that Fang Shuo has come to Yangzhou, what will become of this matter, you can see it when you go to Jiuhuan Island.
The words of the three evils of the witch will not be false, and it is also true that the Yuhua Daoist of Tianque Tower, in order to break out of the ambush and besiege, was seriously injured. The Xuanshuang real person of Cuifeng Mountain must be dead.
As the deacon of the East China Sea Alliance, Fang Shuo has the right to know all the information in Kyushu collected by the alliance.
In this town, after walking for a while, Fang Shuo found a restaurant. Although it was still early at this time, the restaurant had already put up its pretense and opened its doors for business.
As soon as he entered the door of the restaurant, he was warmly greeted by the second brother. Fang Shuo followed the little second brother to the second floor, picked a table against the street and sat down. He instructed the little second brother to take out a piece of green jade jue, inject spiritual energy, and then drink the tea prepared by the restaurant alone, waiting patiently.
Each sect in Kyushu has its own set of secret information arrangements. The small sects all look at their own one-third of an acre of land, while those big sects are much more attentive than them, as small as a town and a county, as big as Kyushu in the world, in this world, there are many disciples, all over the ears and eyes.
The ability of the East China Sea League to collect information is not weak, and there are many deacon disciples in Yangzhou. Fang Shuo had just arrived here, and if he was not familiar with the place, it was best to find someone who knew the Tao and asked him.
After only a cup of tea, a young scholar dressed in a white gauze robe and tied with black linen entered the restaurant and came to the table above the building.
"Disciple of Yangzhou of the East China Sea League, Han Shuyun has seen Deacon Yuyi." Han Shuyun raised his hand and saluted.
Hearing this, Fang Shuo got up and saluted him back, chuckling and chuckling, "Han Daoyou doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." ”
When Han Shuyun sat down, Fang Shuo sat down with him and poured him a cup of tea.
"Thank you." After Han Shuyun thanked Fang Shuo, he said to him again: "Please don't blame Daoyou, come down to the appointment, according to the rules of the East China Sea Alliance, Daoist friends must also show Yujue to prove their identity." ”
Looking at Han Shuyun, Fang Shuo said with a smile: "Rules are rules, and I don't have to think much about it." ”
took out the green jade jue engraved with his name from his arms, put it on the table, and handed it to Han Shuyun opposite.
Han Shuyun didn't directly reach out to take the green jade jue, he played a trick on this green jade jue. After the words "Deacon of the East China Sea Alliance" and "Xuantian Dousu" appeared on Qing Yujue, Han Shuyun pushed Qing Yujue with his fingers and handed it back to Fang Shuo.
"Below, Han Shuyun has seen Deacon Fang. Today, it is really a blessing to be able to contribute a little bit to Deacon Fang. Han Shuyun raised his hand, and Fang Shuo bowed his head and said.
Fang Shuo hurriedly returned the salute and asked him suspiciously, "Do you know who I am?" ”
Han Shuyun replied to him with a smile: "Xuantian Dousu has a special identity, and among the previous deacons of the East China Sea Alliance, there are few people who have been awarded this honorific title. Therefore, when I looked at Yu Jue in the next time, I knew the identity of Deacon Fang. ”
"I see. In this way, my luck is quite good. Fang Shuo said with a smile.
Hearing Fang Shuo's words, Han Shuyun hurriedly explained: "Deacon Fang may not know that the honorific title of Xuantian Dousu cannot be granted to others even by Senior Mei. Those who are not kind to the East China Sea Alliance and are more important than the mountains must not receive this honor. Deacon Fang deserved to help the building fall and turn the tide in the catastrophe of Donghaizhuang a month ago. ”
Picking up the cup, Han Shuyun said to Fang Shuo: "In Yangzhou, I didn't get the news until five days after the catastrophe of Donghaizhuang. Hearing about Deacon Fang's heroic deeds, I was greatly impressed. It happened that I was fortunate to have a meeting today, and I replaced the wine with tea and gave a glass to Deacon Fang. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuyun drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp. Seeing his move, Fang Shuo had no choice but to drink the tea in his cup.
Looking at Han Shuyun's sincere face, Fang Shuo didn't think he was fake, and took the opportunity to flatter and compliment himself. Today, Han Shuyun is dressed as a scholar, perhaps he was influenced by Confucian etiquette in Yangzhou, so he has a bit of a literary atmosphere, not quite like a cultivator. But, no matter what, he is also a red city, which cannot be faked.
Diverting the topic, Fang Shuo asked him: "Han Daoyou, the reason why Fang came to Yangzhou was for two things. Of course, you can also count it as a poem. Let me ask you first, is the Xuanshuang Zhenren really dead, and has the East China Sea Alliance informed the various sects and factions in Kyushu about this matter? ”
"Xuanshuang Zhenren was indeed dead before the catastrophe of Tokaizhuang. However, we, the East China Sea Alliance, did not inform the various factions in Kyushu about this matter. Han Shuyun replied truthfully.
Then, Fang Shuo asked him again: "Before, on the way, I heard a monk say that Xuanshuang Zhenren would go to the Nine Rings Island to give a lecture, so what is going on with this matter?" ”
Han Shuyun replied to him again: "The news that Xuanshuang Zhenren will go to Jiuhuan Island to give lectures is spread by our East China Sea Alliance. In order to lure out the people who made trouble at the Lincang Water and Land Road Meeting a month ago. ”
"Originally, it was not good for Fang Mou to directly participate in the affairs of the alliance, but in the future, since he is a Xuantian Dousu, it is better to say a word or two. First of all, I got the exact news that Qu Ping and Yu Lechen would go to the Nine Ring Island, I'm afraid it was for the sake of the false news spread by the alliance. Secondly, I would like you to report a little bit of my opinion. Xuanshuang Zhenren was besieged and killed on the way to Lincang to preach, and the East China Sea Alliance was responsible for this matter. Kyushu is in turmoil, no one is spared, Xuanshuang Zhenren is known as a real person, but he died, it is better to inform all factions about this matter. Fang Shuo muttered.
Pouring a cup of tea for Fang Shuo, Han Shuyun said: "Deacon Fang's words will definitely be reported in the future." It's just that the matter of Xuanshuang's real person is very important, and I'm afraid it's not easy to handle. ”
"With all due respect, spreading the news that Xuanshuang Zhenren will go to the Nine Rings Island to give lectures is a stinky move. Paper can't contain fire, and the truth will always be revealed to the world one day. Besides, how can we know that those outlaws will be moved? Now it seems that they did go to the Nine Rings. But if they were not fooled, but were exposed by them, how could the East China Sea Alliance end up at that time? Fang Shuo shook his head and said.
"I'm afraid, it's the alliance that has its own plans. Those outlaws are so bold that if they are conceited enough to attack the Nine Rings again, it is still unknown. Han Shuyun said softly.
Fang Shuo raised the cup in his hand and said to Han Shuyun: "It may be that Fang Mou does not have enough insight into people's hearts, and he is not as good as the seniors in the alliance. I'm sorry, just now, I was confused in the next moment, so I said some nonsense, Han Daoyou doesn't have to care. Come, I will also give Han Daoyou a cup in the next. ”
Fang Shuo beckoned the little second brother over, because Han Shuyun didn't drink either, so he only ordered a few dishes that sounded exquisite, and chatted with Han Shuyun while eating.
During the banquet, Fang Shuo asked Han Shuyun again: "Han Daoyou, I don't know where this Cuifeng Mountain is?" ”
"What, Deacon Fang wants to go to Cuifeng Mountain?" Han Shuyun asked when he heard this.
"Oh, I'm just a little curious, just ask." Fang Shuo said casually.
"Cuifeng Mountain is in the northwest corner of Yangzhou, and there is still some distance from the town here. If Deacon Fang wants to go, he needs to borrow a good horse. Han Shuyun replied simply.
After picking up some dishes with chopsticks, Fang Shuo asked him again: "Han Daoyou, recently, have you heard anyone talk about a sword boring for a snake, a sword for a turtle, and a long sword engraved with stars?" ”
"I haven't heard anyone talk about this sword yet. Why, could it be that Deacon Fang lost his sword and was in a hurry to find it? If this sword is not valuable, it is better to change it, and you can find a better sword shop for Deacon Fang. Han Shuyun shook his head and said.
"Forget it, it's not your own sword that you're looking for. It's just, hey, it's really complicated to say, so I don't need to say more. Fang Shuo didn't want to talk in detail, and said perfunctorily.
Seeing that Fang Shuo was unwilling to talk to him in detail, Han Shuyun didn't care, and still used tea instead of wine with Fang Shuo to chat about Yangzhou.
Chatting and chatting, Han Shuyun talked about herself. After listening to Han Shuyun's words, Fang Shuo learned that he was not only a disciple of the East China Sea League, but also had studied in the South Academy for nine years. If you really want to talk about it, the Han family is in Yangzhou, and it can be regarded as a famous scholarly family.
It's no wonder that Fang Shuo felt a sense of bookish anger on Han Shuyun's body.
The two were chatting in the restaurant, but four young people who looked about the same age as Han Shuyun suddenly came up at the table, all dressed as scholars.
One of the young men with white jade hanging from his waist said enthusiastically: "Shuyun, it's really you." Oh, a few of us are wandering around the street, and when we look up, we see that you are familiar, and I thought it was someone who looked similar, but I didn't expect it to be you. What kind of day is this, you Han Shuyun will actually go out to meet friends. Alas, if a few of us had seen it with our own eyes, who would have believed it to be true. ”
A young man wearing brocade next to him also coaxed: "Yes, yes, Han Shuyun actually didn't study at home, and went to the restaurant to drink, this is a new thing in the world." ”
The young men all laughed and said in unison, "Yes, that's not it." ”
Fang Shuo didn't know the details, so he looked at Han Shuyun and asked, "Brother Han, who are these people?" ”
The young man with white jade hanging on his waist grabbed ahead of Han Shuyun, and said to Fang Shuo Shili: "Yang Zhili." ”
"Chang Junqing." Then, the young man in brocade said.
"Pang Shenghai." Then, another young man with hosta hair said.
"In Xia Yu Xihan." Finally, the tall young man laughed.
Fang Shuo got up and saluted back, introduced himself to them, and said, "I've seen you, I'm down there." ”
Seeing this, Han Shuyun hurriedly stood up, grabbed Fang Shuo's arm, dragged him downstairs, and said to Fang Shuo: "These are all classmates who are studying in the South Courtyard together, Brother Fang, the two of us still have important things to do, so let's go back first." ”
Immortals were different, Han Shuyun and Fang Shuo couldn't talk about the East China Sea Alliance or the Nine Ring Islands in front of the four of them, and they were about to leave.
But where would the four of them let Han Shuyun and Fang Shuo leave like this?
As soon as Yang Zhili turned around, he stopped Han Shuyun and laughed: "Hey, why are you leaving." Can't you and I catch up properly? Brother Fang, you're right. ”
Fang Shuo couldn't answer him well, so he could only laugh dryly on the side.
At this time, Chang Junqing spoke: "Shuyun, you finally came out for a trip, and you just went back like this, how boring it should be." It's just right, the four of us are going to watch the sword exhibition and have fun together. ”
Watching the Sword Exhibition? There was a lot of interest here.
Han Shuyun just wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly, Fang Shuo agreed: "Okay, let's go together." ”
