The Taoist priest is forty years old, with a long beard, a bun on his head, wearing a gray Taoist robe, and a hexagram flag in his hand reads: "Gossip hexagram hexagram blessing and misfortune, four elephants like elephants like good luck and evil." On the other side, it reads: "Iron mouth straight break" four words.

Fang Ze's gaze fell on the Daoist, this person also saw Fang Ze, as soon as his eyes made contact, the Daoist suddenly made three gestures in a row with his left hand, seemingly inadvertently.

Seeing the Taoist like this, Fang Ze knew in his heart, put down his chopsticks, and made two gestures with his left hand.

Seeing this, the Taoist suddenly showed a look of surprise, he walked quickly to the elegant seat by the window where Fang Ze was, and said respectfully and in a low voice: "Zhang Peng, who walks in the outer door, has seen the senior brother. ”

Fang Ze nodded slightly.

The gesture of the two people just now is a code for the Wanligui Sect to identify people from the same sect, and they can judge each other whether they are people from the same sect or not, and they can also determine their identity and rank.

Fang Ze is the senior brother of the sect, his status is transcendent, and his own identity gesture is also a unique symbol in the secret language of the sect, and he will not be mistaken.

"Zhang Xingxing is so anxious to see me, is there anything important?" Fang Ze asked.

"There is something important, it is to send a letter to the senior brother for the master of the door." Zhang Peng hurriedly said, "I saw the old man in Feiye City on the border of Xuzhou before, and the master said that he received a message from the senior brother, but his old man had something to deal with and could not see you for the time being, so he wrote a letter to respond to the senior brother." ”

"The letter is too long to be delivered by carrier pigeons, and I happened to be in Flying Leaf City, so the owner asked me to deliver the letter."

Fang Ze nodded and said, "Flying Leaf City is also more than three hundred miles away from Leling, you have worked hard." ”

Zhang Peng hurriedly said: "How can it be hard to do things for the master of the door and the senior brother?" Moreover, it is my duty. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Peng took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Fang Ze and said, "The letter is here, please take it from Senior Brother." ”

Fang Ze nodded and accepted the letter.

Zhang Peng didn't stay after finishing his work, he seemed to have something to do, so he left first as soon as he confessed.

Fang Ze didn't keep him either.

Zhang Peng is the world walking of the outer gate of the Wanligui sect, the so-called world walking, is a position in the Wanligui sect, what he does is to run around for some affairs in the door, and collect some intelligence information by the way.

Sending letters to the high-level people in the sect is within the scope of responsibility, and the outstanding work is naturally recorded in the book, and the laws of rewards and punishments within the rules of the Wanli Gui Sect are all clear and clear, and there is no need for Fang Ze to do any additional favors.

After Zhang Peng left, Fang Ze opened the envelope and unfolded the stationery.

The font is elegant and elegant, and it is indeed the handwriting of Master Wu Daozi.

Fang Ze quickly finished reading.

"Master said in the letter that it is inconvenient to say in the letter that the secret practice in the sect is inconvenient, and he will explain it in person when he returns to the sect in the future, and asks me to think clearly during this time whether I really want to practice this exercise."

"After all, the secret technique is strong, but the requirements for resources are too high, and the requirements for the divine soul are almost strict, Master He doesn't know that I have a new adventure, and it is normal for me to think about it carefully."

After reading the letter, Fang Ze thought to himself.

Master Wu Daozi's letter did not say that he should not let Fang Ze practice that secret exercise, but only mentioned that the resources required were extremely huge, and he wanted Fang Ze to think about it for a while, if after thinking about it, he still wanted to transfer to this exercise, then the specific matter would be for Fang Ze to return to the sect, and Wu Daozi would say some important things about this practice in person.

In the second half of the letter, Wu Daozi mentioned that he was invited by the Shaolin abbot Master Xinlan to go to Songyang to 'do business' at the invitation, and he would not return to the sect for a while.

And Fang Ze's third junior brother, sixth junior brother and junior sister, took on a big task of returning to the sect, Wu Daozi knew about this, worried that several people were inexperienced, and asked Fang Ze to go to Yuzhou to take care of his junior brother and sister.

When the task on the Yuzhou side is completed, Wu Daozi's matter in Shaolin Temple will be almost over, and when the time comes, Fang Ze will return to the sect with Sanxiao, and at the same time, Wu Daozi will inform him about the secret method that Fang Ze wants to practice.

After Fang Ze read the letter, he knew it in his heart.

Fang Ze would rather like to take on more such tasks.

His black bead imprint, every time he returns to the sect, he will probably have a reward, just to accumulate some resources.

He was lucky, and the letter paper in his hand made a soft pop and turned into paper powder.

Fang Ze casually put the paper powder by the window and blew it away, and then continued to eat.

……

Four days later.

Yuzhou, Yingyin County.

Fang Ze rushed here.

At the junction of Yuzhou and Xuzhou, there are official roads connecting them, and Yingyin is the second largest city in Yuzhou.

Fang Ze is the second time to come to Yingyin, this place is an important place for land transportation, the city is majestic, and it looks much bigger than Leling.

When Fang Ze entered the city, when he saw the Yingyin City Gate, he thought of this information in his heart.

The population of Yuzhou is denser than that of Xuzhou and other places, although Yingyin is only the second largest city in Yuzhou, the population is more than Leling, all walks of life are prosperous, but there are many people in all walks of life, resulting in more difficult money to earn, and the competition is more fierce.

And the people who are really in power and powerful businessmen are also more powerful and rich.

The rivers and lakes of Yuzhou are also like the people, there are many sects, and there are two or three hundred sects recognized by the imperial court, and they compete with each other very much.

However, those are all small sects, and there are not many really powerful big factions in Yuzhou.

Fang Ze entered the city directly, and when the soldiers guarding the city saw Fang Ze dressed up, they saw that he was a warrior and did not dare to stop him.

This is the case in the Tianzhou world, because the martial arts lead to the sky, and powerful warriors can open mountains and freeze rivers with their fists, which is the highest power, and the identity of the warriors themselves is much higher than that of ordinary people.

The low-level soldiers would rather offend the officials than offend the warriors, after all, offending the officials will give you a small shoe at most to rectify it, and it is great to send it to a remote place as an errand boy, and if you offend the warrior, you may lose your life directly.

It's not the first time Fang Ze has come to Yingyin, he is familiar with the city, and he doesn't need to ask for directions, so he walked all the way to the [Yuelai Inn] in the southwest of the city.

Fang Ze asked the store to clarify the situation, and found out that the three junior brothers and sisters had chartered a courtyard here, and after explaining to the store, they walked to the courtyard at the back.

A smile appeared on Fang Ze's face.

He had already heard that there were two junior brothers and sisters in the courtyard.

Fang Ze knocked on the small door of the courtyard, the laughter inside stopped, and a hearty young man's voice asked, "Who?" ”

"I, your senior brother." Fang Ze said.

"Senior brother is here?" A sound of surprise came from inside the door.

Soon, the door of the courtyard opened, and at the door was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, dressed in blue and childish, looking sunny and cheerful.

Seeing Fang Ze, the young man said loudly with an excited smile on his face.

"Big brother!" Behind the boy, there was a girl in blue, who looked seven or eight points similar to the boy, the same sixteen or seventeen years old, which was the best age for girls, and she also screamed in surprise.

"Well, Huiyu Huiling, I haven't seen you for a year, and you've all grown a lot taller." Fang Ze said with a smile.

In the courtyard are Fang Ze's sixth and seventh junior sisters, Fu Huiyu and Fu Huiling.

The two of them are twins, and they worship the Wanli Gui sect together, Fu Huiyu is the elder brother, and Fu Huiling is the younger sister.

Fu Huiyu let go of the doorway, Fang Ze came in, and after closing the door, Fang Ze looked at it and asked:

"By the way, what about your third senior brother? Wasn't I with you? ”

Master Wu Daozi mentioned in his letter that Fang Ze's third junior brother, Shang Zhonglin, was also in Yingyin, and they took over the task of returning to the sect together.

"The third senior brother came here once, and then left in a hurry."

"Yes, the third senior brother, he was very happy to hear that the senior brother was coming, and said that he prepared a gift for you, senior brother, and then left, I haven't seen him for the past few days, maybe I went to prepare a gift?"

Fang Ze nodded slightly.

At this time.

Fang Ze's ears twitched slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Say that your third senior brother and your third senior brother will arrive, he is here." ”

"Really?" Fu Huiyu asked in surprise.

Fang Ze nodded.

His ears have changed, even if he doesn't have luck, his hearing is far better than that of people who haven't opened his ears, Fang Ze heard that someone was hurrying towards the courtyard, it was more than twenty meters away, and listening to the rhythm of the footsteps was the third junior brother Shang Zhonglin That's right.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a knock on the wooden door of the courtyard, and there was a loud voice outside: "Little Yuzi and Xiao Lingzi, open the door for the third senior brother." ”

Fang Ze smiled, he turned around and opened the door.

The door opened, and there was a man with a rather burly figure and a face that seemed to be twenty years old, it was Shang Zhonglin, Fang Ze's third junior brother.

Shang Zhonglin is quite tall, and his clothing style is a little exaggerated and luxurious, but it is a purple embroidered gold robe, a chapter of Chinese characters, full of red light, and looks very imposing.

He stood in the doorway with one hand holding an elegantly patterned wooden box made of sandalwood.

When Shang Zhonglin saw Fang Ze, he was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed in surprise: "Senior brother! Hahaha! I haven't been back to the sect for more than a year and haven't seen you, I miss you so much! ”

Shang Zhonglin stepped forward and held Fang Ze's arm with one hand.

Fang Ze said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, you are becoming richer and richer as a pie." ”

"Hahaha!" Shang Zhonglin laughed.

Shang Zhonglin is the core disciple of the Wanligui Sect, and his own family is a merchant of Heluo Jujia.

The owner of the merchant family is not worth a lot of money, but he is the richest man in Heluo, and he is currently in a state of semi-retirement.

Shang Buquan has three sons, the eldest son took over the business of the merchant, the second son worshiped in Tianwangyuan to learn art, and after the martial arts were completed, he was admitted to the imperial court martial arts, and now he is an official in the army, and the youngest son is Fang Ze, the third junior brother Shang Zhonglin.

Fang Ze didn't know why Shang Zhonglin would worship the Wanli Gui Sect, he didn't know what means the master used, or what special reasons the merchant had to choose so, after all, it was not very difficult for the merchant to enter other famous sects.

But it seems that both Shang Buquan and Shang Zhonglin himself are very satisfied with this choice.

Shang Zhonglin was born in a wealthy family, and his family was also quite supportive, and the family provided goods and other resources from time to time.

Of course, some people can't get used to his style, and they also gave him a private nickname behind his back, called 'Fortune Boy'.
