Led by Huang Xingmao, Fang Shuo walked out of the small attic and came to the backyard of the Huang Mansion.

Sure enough, as Huang Xingmao said, in the open space in this courtyard, there is a real guy who looks exactly like the bronze incense burner in the Song Mansion.

"I'm obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and I have no interest in this gold, silver and bronze ware, if Fang Gongzi likes it, then this bronze incense burner will be given to you." Huang Xingmao said very generously.

Fang Shuo shook his head and thanked him: "Sir, you are really too polite. It's a pity that after offending Mr. Song, the kid has no interest in this bronze incense burner. What's more, this bronze incense burner looks extremely heavy, and I don't know how many catties there are, so it's really inconvenient to come and go. I can only thank Mr. for his kindness. ”

Although these words were true, after all, Fang Shuo only came to relieve the root of the Song Mansion, and he didn't really want to buy a bronze incense burner, but because of his identity, Fang Shuo didn't say it all.

This bronze incense burner in the Yellow Mansion and the one in the Song Mansion just look the same, and there is no difference between ordinary people, but in the eyes of cultivators, there is a world of difference.

In terms of appearance, the bronze incense burner in Huangfu is exquisite, meticulous in workmanship, and extremely valuable. If it is a hundred or two hundred years later, this bronze incense burner may still be the favorite of some collectors.

But in terms of magic, this bronze incense burner is just a mortal vessel, compared to the one in the Song Mansion, there is less spiritual carving pattern, it can't gather qi, and it has no other use except for watching.

Fang Shuo asked suspiciously, "Hey, that's strange, Mr. Huang." Since you said you don't like gold, silver and bronze, why did you send a bronze incense burner to Mr. Song? ”

Huang Xingmao responded and said carefully: "Coincidentally, I'm not interested in anything other than calligraphy and painting, and I stay upstairs to write and paint all year round, and I don't take care of everything at home." Although the old trees in the courtyard look luxuriant, they are all planted by my ancestors, and I have never taken care of them. Until one day, a wandering Taoist priest came from outside the door, first praised the interior scene, and then said that the aura in the house is strong, and it is easy to make dirty things, and said that in the future, the old tree will become a fine and will become a bane. At this moment, the family was so anxious that they immediately begged others to tell them how to solve it. The Taoist priest said that it is necessary to build an incense burner with the method of five elements to take the meaning of gold and wood, so as to kill the spirit of the old tree and settle down in the town, and at the same time, according to the principle of the five elements, it can also ensure that the Huang family's incense is vigorous. So, he sent someone to build an incense burner. Who knows, just because of the difference of one word, the craftsmen actually built two. Therefore, I gave one to Lao Song, for an auspicious picture. ”

Hearing Huang Xingmao say this, Fang Shuo finally figured out the cause and effect of this matter.

Fang Shuo nodded, and asked again: "So that's the case, I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns on this bronze incense burner." I don't know, the wandering Taoist priest who came to the Yellow Mansion at that time, and the craftsmen who made the bronze incense burner, is there any news about Mr. now? ”

Huang Xingmao replied without thinking about it: "The wandering Taoist priest who came to the door has no name and no surname, and he doesn't even have a title, where is there any news of him." As for the craftsman who made the incense burner, it was in the shop on the street. Hey, Fang Gongzi, why are you asking this? ”

"Nothing, just a little curious." Fang Shuo said perfunctorily.

Huang Xingmao said with a straight face: "Fang Gongzi, listen to the next sentence of persuasion, there is no such thing as immortal immortality in this world, it is all made up by good people to cheat." Life is too short, and those 180 years of precious time have passed in just a snap of a finger. Don't waste your youthful and frivolous time for the sake of that illusory path of cultivation. ”

"That's what the gentleman said." Fang Shuo responded.

Huang Xingmao proposed: "That's it, Fang Gongzi, tonight, I will be the east of Nanxiang Building, only you and Lao Song, let's make things clear, Lao Song will definitely give me this face." ”

Fang Shuo: "Okay, thank you, sir, then, let's see you in Nanxiang Tower tonight." ”

Now that the matter was clear, Fang Shuo said goodbye to Huang Xingmao and left the Huang Mansion.

On the way, Fang Shuo thought to himself, this is really a seamless poisonous plan. The whole thing is interlocking, and the design is so complicated, just to cause Song An to die, which is really a big deal.

The bronze incense burner in the Song Mansion was given by Huang Xingmao, even if something happened and a monk found out, he could only find out about Huang Xingmao's head.

Looking further down, what can you find besides the story? Between friends, they turn against each other and secretly poison each other, so that the other party's family is ruined, is there a more convincing drama in the world?

So far, Fang Shuo has only one thing left to figure out, that is, why did the mastermind behind the design of using the bronze incense burner to harm people have to be ruined by Song An's family?

Is it because he has a grudge with the Song family, in order to avenge his personal revenge? Or is it for something else?

Fang Shuo originally came to Jingzhou to unite the various cultivation factions in Jingzhou to deal with the irreparable situation in Kyushu in the future. But now, as soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, Fang Shuo encountered the chaos of evil monks designing harm. Is this a coincidence, or is it a norm?

For that wandering Taoist, Fang Shuo was afraid that he would never find it again, and now he could only find the craftsman who made the bronze incense burner. Although Fang Shuo didn't have much expectation for this, he still wanted to go to the shop where the craftsman was located to have a look.

In today's Kyushu, secular people mostly use iron tools, so there are few craftsmen who can cast bronze objects.

According to Huang Xingmao's statement, Fang Shuo came to the only shop on the street that cast bronzes.

As soon as he came to this shop, before Fang Shuo could speak, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy rushed out of the shop. The young man grabbed Fang Shuo's arm and dragged him into the shop with all his might, while shouting enthusiastically: "Childe, please come in, what you want to build, just open your mouth." ”

For a while, Fang Shuo had a lot of words in his mouth, but he couldn't say it.

Fortunately, someone in the shop was relieved at this time: "Stone, what are you doing, you will be fooling around." ”

As soon as he was scolded, the young man named Shi quickly let go of Fang Shuo's arm.

"Please also ask Childe for forgiveness, this stupid child is not sensible and has caused trouble to Childe."

Following the sound, Fang Shuo saw a middle-aged man with a blue cloth scarf on his head and a long cover hanging in front of him.

Fang Shuo shook his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Uh, what do you call a gentleman? ”

"Mr. doesn't dare to be, just call me a regular call." The middle-aged man said.

Fang Shuo Shili said: "Under the surname Fang, the name is a Shuo character. Tang suddenly came here, looking at the sea and the sea. I heard that a bronze incense burner in the Huangfu was made by your shop, so I came to ask. ”

Hearing this, the young man named Stone said listlessly, "Oh, you're not here for us to help make things." ”
