The night covers the land, and the lights of thousands of homes are lit up.

Fang Mansion.

A bright moon lies in front of the window, the smokeless candles in the room burn quietly, emitting a bright light, and the big and small maids in red and green clothes shuttle and set plates on the table.

On such a spring night, there is still a bit of a chill, all kinds of steaming meals, steaming white, and rich smoke and fire.

Fang Rui, Fang Xue's, Sanniangzi, Fang Ling, Nannan, the family sat around the table.

"Brother Rui, the Zheng family's Nanshan Garden outside the city has really become a vicious place?" During the meal, Fang Xue asked gossiply.

'Of course it's true, it's your son and I who made it up!' ’

Fang Rui thought secretly, bowed slightly, and said, "Yes!" ”

However, when it comes to Nanshan Garden, I think of ......

He frowned, and subconsciously changed the topic: "Now, the city is calm, and Ling'er and Nannan can continue to go to school." ”

Fang Ling and Nan Nan, the two little girls, were named, and they raised their little heads together.

"Brother, can you really go to the academy?" Fang Ling was even more excited, and stood up directly, a pair of big eyes like black gems shining.

"Go to school! School! Seeing Fang Ling standing up, Nan Nan thought for a moment, and also stood up.

Then, he was slapped on the ass by the third lady and sat down: "How did you teach you?" Sit well! ”

She looked at Fang Rui: "These two little girls, they used to be in the academy, and their classmates circled around; I haven't gone to school these days, and in the house, the big and small maids are also around, but after all, they can't compare to their peers......"

"However, if you really let them go to school, in two days, the two of them will be looking forward to the holiday again."

The third lady still knows Fang Ling and Nan Nan very well, and has a clear grasp of their temperament.

"Not really." Fang Ling protested, his cheeks bulging like a pufferfish.

"It's not." Nan Nan also muttered quietly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The third lady didn't argue, and lightly tapped the foreheads of the two little girls.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xue and Fang Rui both laughed.

"Brother Rui, is it really okay in the city?" Fang Xue asked a little uneasily.

"Well, it's fine. However, the phoenix-tailed swallow and the jasper snake were also brought by Ling'er and Nannan. ”

Under Fang Rui's fall, the Zheng family suffered a heavy blow again, the lower third-grade martial artists suffered heavy casualties, Nanshan Garden also became a vicious place, and the base for cultivating great medicine and elixir was completely gone.

In addition, the Sanpin ancestor died, and the Zheng family is now too busy to take care of themselves, and the aftermath is overwhelmed, so naturally they will not arrest children and men anymore.

……

Meal.

Fang Rui found the eldest girl Bai Shao, and said that he had found a gold medal and inquired about it, and her brother was very likely to have suffered misfortune.

Nanshan Park and his party, although it has been confirmed, this is definitely impossible to say.

"Thank you, sir!"

Bai Shaofu bowed, and his eyes were red.

"It's okay, cry if you want to!"

Only then did a low sobbing sound sounded.

"Alas!" Fang Rui sighed.

However, when he looked at Bai Shao, he was more able to accept reality than Li Daring, and after crying, it would probably be over.

This is the helplessness of the little people, even in the face of misfortune, injustice, and injustice, they can only endure it, otherwise, what can they do?

On the contrary, like Li Daring, he has some strength, but he is not enough, and he is unwilling to give up, and forcibly taking risks and changing his life against the sky will only make him die faster.

"Bold!"

Fang Rui thought of this subordinate, and let out a sigh in his heart again.

……

Two more days passed.

"Boss, bold or no news, report to the above, as a result, the above gave back a directive, treat it as missing, you say, is this like a word?"

Niu Bajin was indignant: "The group of people above, don't I know yet?" It has always been that more things are better than less things, and I am very lazy. ”

"Do you want to make another report and protest?" Not to be outdone, he asked.

Two days ago, the report about Li Daring was put on - Fang Rui didn't stop it, he knew that Li Daring was dead, but he couldn't say it.

"No need, it's been two or three days, probably ......"

Fang Rui didn't say anything, but just ordered: "Implement it as soon as possible, and fight for the treatment of dying in the line of duty!" If this matter is delayed for a long time, it will not be easy to handle. ”

"Boss, be bold ......" Niu Bajin opened his mouth, and wanted to say something more.

"Go ahead!"

Fang Rui interrupted him, thought for a while, and added: "Bold pension, as well as the money for this mission, send it together, you can also take care of the bold family, don't let people bully you." ”

Niu Bajin sighed, and didn't say anything more after all, just said, "Boss, don't worry." Li Daring has three sons, and the missing Heiwa is just one of them. Oh, he also has a cousin named Li Tieniu, who is the head catcher of our Southeast Branch, and he has been pooling money to buy old medicine recently......"

"From my mission reward this time, take out one hundred taels or three old medicines and send them to the Li family, if that Li Tieniu breaks through successfully, let him take over the bold position!"

"Good!"

Before Niu Bajin went out, he suddenly said: "Boss, having a boss like you is a bold blessing, and it is also our blessing." ”

When he said this, he was extremely serious, and he didn't have the hippie smile he used to have.

……

Ten years later.

Li Tieniu broke through the seventh grade and filled the vacancy of Li Daring.

Niu Bajin brought Li Tieniu over: "Boss, I said that you don't care about this, but Tieniu must come to thank you in person!" ”

"Thank you for the old medicine given by adults, without adults, there would be no ...... for me Li Tieniu today" Li Tieniu bowed his head.

This guy is tall and big, but he has a pair of small eyes, and he looks quite shrewd.

"Not necessarily. I won't say anything else, the bold family is small, and you can't be wronged, you know what I mean, right? Fang Rui struck.

In this world, there are not a few examples of eating out of households, and even sometimes, the more relatives they are, the more ruthless the means.

However, if this Li Tieniu is a smart person, just this sentence, he knows what to do and what not to do.

"I promise that I won't let my cousin's family be wronged in the slightest." Li Tieniu's chest was slammed.

……

I don't know why, without Li Daring, the southeast branch is not as happy as before, even if it is a dinner, there is no taste of the past.

Fang Rui is not as close to his subordinates as before, such as Li Tieniu, he always keeps a distance, just an ordinary relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Is this the sorrow of the Immortals? ’

It's just the departure of half a friend, it makes me a little sad, if in the future, what about my mother, the third sister, Ling'er, and Nannan? ’

Fang Rui shook his head, subconsciously avoiding thinking about that.

Since then, although he treats people as usual, he has always had a sense of alienation in his heart, consciously keeping a distance from strangers, and it is difficult to make friends.

……

On this day, Fang Rui slipped down in advance, stepped on the glow of dusk, and returned to the mansion.

As soon as I entered the door.

"Brother, our jasper lotus is blooming, it's very beautiful!"

"It's blooming, it's beautiful!"

Fang Ling and Nan Nan jumped over, followed by a group of little ducks with twisting buttocks, quack.

Looking closely, this group of ducklings is more than fatter than half a month ago.

Don't?

Because there is a jasper lotus in the house, insects are scarce, these two little girls took their pocket money and asked the little girls to go out to buy insects and feed this group of ducklings to eat, how can they not grow fat?

Probably, people can only be so carefree and innocent when they are young, right? ’

Fang Rui smiled and touched the heads of the two little girls: Oh, is it? Show me.

"Brother, come quickly!"

"Come!"

Fang Ling and Nan Nan ran one by one, holding Fang Rui's hand, and left in the quacking embrace of a group of ducklings.

When I came to the pond, I saw that the jasper lotus had bloomed.

Under the setting sun, the whole body is like jasper, and the top of the jasper lotus blooms a golden flower bone, which resembles a lotus, the size of a red date, and there is a hazy phosgene around the periphery, constantly rotating.

It looks amazing.

"Yes, it's pretty good!" Fang Rui was also surprised.

"Really?"

Fang Ling put his hands behind his back, stood on his toes, nodded proudly, and seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and pedaled and ran: "I'll go get the painting tool and draw it!" ”

"Wait, Sister Ling'er, I'll go too." Nan Nan shouted behind and hurriedly chased after him.

Since under Fang Rui's teaching, these two little girls have started painting, and after they have a little appearance, they will think about painting what they see beautifully, just like the girls in Fang Rui's previous life wanted to take pictures when they saw something.

After a while, Fang Ling and Nan Nan came back.

The two little girls lay side by side on the stone table in the pavilion, pouting their little buttocks, tilting their little heads, biting the pen from time to time, and drawing a stroke on the rice paper.

At that time.

It is dusk, the sun is full of light, warm but not scorching, the twilight breeze is gentle, and the strings of wind chimes hanging in the cloister are crisp.

A pond of water reflects the orange glow, flowing slowly, like a flowing year.

Fang Rui sat on the edge of the pavilion with one leg propped up, looking at this kind of scenery, for a while, he was a little stunned.

In fact, in recent days, he has been eating and drinking as usual on the surface, but there has always been a layer of haze in his heart, and he can't let go of it for a long time.

The history books of the previous life, if you read carefully, are the word 'cannibalism' from beginning to end, and in case of a catastrophe, there is a record of 'hunger and cannibalism'......

But, how can that compare to this world?

The cannibalism in this world is naked, and in terms of dining etiquette, it is more rude and brutal than in the history of the previous life.

It's like: taking babies, boys and girls, in extreme pain, using human medicine, this is what people can do?!

What Nanshan Park saw and heard, in Fang Rui's moral concept, directly broke through the bottom line.

He was in a bad mood, but he didn't show it, after all, if he told Fang Xue and Sanniangzi, there were not too many unhappy people.

But at this time—

Fang Rui looked at the scene in front of him, and inexplicably thought about it.

'After seeing the sins of Nanshan Garden, I will not despair and pessimist, decadent and lost; It will not hate the misanthropy of the world and produce the destruction of personality. ’

'A pair of eyes, having seen the darkness and ugliness of the world, can still have light; After seeing the filth and filth of the world, you can still find beauty. ’

'Knowing the world but not the world, being in this world, no matter what the external environment is, always keep a pure land and have a pure ......'

"Brother Rui!"

At this moment, a voice interrupted Fang Rui's thoughts.

He turned his head to look and found that it was the third lady who came over with some books in her arms.

"These are miscellaneous notes, travelogues, anecdotes, and I think you might be interested in ......"

In the past two days, Fang Rui's bad mood, the third lady naturally noticed it, and thought about finding something for him to relieve and divert his attention.

But Fang Rui didn't have any special hobbies, except for fishing, probably just reading books, so she specially found these through the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

"Thank you, third sister." Fang Rui naturally understood the thoughts of the third lady, and was moved by this thoughtfulness and delicacy.

"Nothing."

The third lady pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Rui, I'll play the piano for you!" ”

Once, Fang Rui mentioned that 'you can learn the piano when you have nothing to do', she remembered it, practiced it in private for a long time, and now she has some appearance, so she took it out to show.

So, Fang Ling and Nan Nan were driven to the stone bench next to them to paint, the eldest girl Qingyun brought the piano, and the three ladies sat down to play, with an indescribable elegance and good looks.

In the melodious sound of the piano, the twilight flows, and a pond of water is dabbled and floating, like stars in the sky.

Next to them, Fang Ling and Nan Nan looked at Fang Rui and Sanniang, their big eyes were spinning, rustling and painting on rice paper.

In the distance, the big girl Bai Peony stood on the white stone bridge, sprinkling food on the stream below, and a large number of fish jumped up, blurring the ripples in circles.

Farther away, there was a voice in the kitchen, it was Fang Xue's babbling, explaining to the little maid, what ingredients to prepare, and saying that he would make some soup with his own hands to replenish Fang Rui's body.

Fang Rui looked at these and listened to these, and his heart calmed down.

……

Half a month passed in a hurry.

The Yin corpse turned into the ancestor of the Zheng family has no news, as if the world has evaporated.

The Zheng family didn't know what price they had paid, and they took care of all parties in the city and suppressed the matter of cultivating demigods without authorization, turning big things into small things and small things.

In this half month, the Zheng family didn't know how to do it, and another third-grade martial artist came out and passed the weak period.

However, the Zheng family's hatred has grown, and they don't dare to make trouble anymore, and their power in the city has shrunk to a certain extent.

The city has returned to its former stability, the waves are calm, and there is no incident, just like a painted skin ghost wearing human skin, the beauty is beautiful, and the years are quiet.

The Yamen of the Divine Capture Division also began to become idle.

The only thing that made Fang Rui depressed was that after he broke through the second grade, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce would not be able to supply him.

After all, under the premise of not wanting to eat semi-elixir, the energy provided by big medicine and old medicine is still much worse than that of second-grade martial artists.

In addition, big drugs and old drugs are also considered mid-to-high-end resources, and they are not so easy to purchase in large quantities.

What are the consequences?

It's not enough to fall into the realm, it's just uncomfortable.

For example, ordinary people and high-quality martial artists, like babies and adults, even if they don't work, maintain their own needs, and the amount of food they eat every day is very different.

If an adult only eats the amount of a baby's meal, he will be in a state of hunger, and it is certain that he will not feel good.

That is to say, Fang Rui is special, he can be rotten, and he does not need to practice daily cultivation, otherwise he will need more resources.

……

Fang Rui still goes fishing in Mochou Lake, and occasionally meets Ge Changgeng, but most of the time he can't meet him, and when he does, the two will chat for a while.

Sometimes Fang Rui left early, sometimes Ge Changgeng left early, he was exhausted, waved his hand and said hello and left, and did not deliberately accompany each other, getting along with him was extremely chic and relaxed.

On this day, Fang Ling and Nan Nan didn't want to come out after sleeping lazily, Fang Rui came to Mochou Lake alone, and he was here for lunch at noon.

Today, Ge Changgeng also came, coming in the morning and returning in the afternoon, taking the crane away.

After he left.

Fang Rui stroked the bald gulls sitting side by side next to him, emptied his head, and continued fishing.

At this time, if you take a closer look, you will find that his fishing rod and fishing line have a pale cyan brilliance flashing, which makes the original ordinary fishing rod material look extremely extraordinary, like glass.

This was the vision of True Yuan conduction, and Fang Rui was groping for the techniques used by True Yuan.

Other than that.

This can not only strengthen the toughness of the rod and line, but also stimulate the aroma of the bait, enhance the attraction of the fish, and increase the probability of catching cherished fish.

Not long after.

Wow!

A two-foot-long tarpon burst out of the water.

The white-headed gull fluttered its wings, stood up suddenly, and said to Fang Rui: "Coo!" Goo-goo! ”

"You want to eat? Let's give it to you! ”

Fang Rui threw the big golden silver carp over: "Anyway, you guy is getting lazier and lazier, you used to catch and deliver fish, but now you know how to eat it." ”

For the persecution of the two-legged beast next to Lai, the bald gull turned a deaf ear and buried his head in enjoying his feast.

Fang Rui shook his head amusedly, ready to sit down again.

"Huh?!"

At this time, he suddenly sensed a stream of yin qi, and subconsciously moved his body, bringing out a series of afterimages that jumped out, treading water, and went straight to the source of yin qi.

At Fang Rui's feet, the pale cyan light flickered, and circles of ripples spread.

"That's ......"

Fang Rui locked and tracked the past, and saw: a certain body of water, blood rushing, staining the lake red.

But when he arrived and investigated carefully, he only sensed a familiar yin qi, but he couldn't trace the culprit.

"Is it the Yin corpse that the ancestor of the Zheng family turned into?! How did the other party get here? ”

If it was in Nanshan Garden, Fang Rui would have killed it, but this was in Mochou Lake.

"It's not an issue that affects Yaxing anymore."

Fang Rui's expression was serious: "Ling'er, Nannan, sometimes come over, and Daoist Ge, if something happens to him, it's not good." ”

Ge Changgeng can be regarded as Fang Rui's mentor and friend, he gave a jade talisman and told a lot of secrets, it can be said that Fang Rui owes a lot of favors.

If you don't know, that's it, and if you know, you naturally have to take action to eliminate this potential safety hazard.

"If it's really that yin corpse, it still has to be destroyed, no matter how bad it is, it must be expelled and let it leave."

Fang Rui muttered, the true yuan covered the surface of the body, entered the water, and searched around the bottom of this lake, but did not find anything.

"Where the hell are you hiding?"

He suddenly thought that Ge Changgeng had said that this Mochou Lake is said to be the place where the ancient true dragon fell, which is extremely extraordinary, and the birth of strange strains has always been proof of this.

'Yes, True Dragon Extreme Yang; The Yin corpse that the ancestor of the Zheng family turned into originally had the strength of the peak of the third grade, and when I exploded the Nanshan Garden, I absorbed a wave of extreme resentment and strengthened it, maybe it touched the threshold of the second grade. ’

'The second-grade yin corpse can be called an extreme yin. ’

'Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin attract, perhaps, that Yin corpse followed its instinct and discovered something strange to shield itself from the leakage of Yin Qi? ’

Fang Rui thought secretly.

……

Since then, Fang Rui has paid special attention to this matter, and the number of fishing trips to Mochou Lake has been much more frequent.

In the second half of the month, he sensed the yin qi two or three times, but every time he chased it, it was a little worse, and he couldn't track the other party.

Especially once, it was only a little bit close, but it was a millimeter, a thousand miles, and it still failed.

Until this time-

"Finally I let me catch you!"

Fang Rui used the light jade talisman and hurried over, seeing a black shadow diving quickly in the lake in the distance, and without hesitation, he broke through the water.

Chase all the way to the bottom of the lake.

After the other party drilled into the silt at the bottom of the lake, he did not give up, and Zhenyuan turned into a conical drill and went down, following the yin qi induction, chasing after him.

Meandering down, about a hundred meters away, he came to a gravel area, and in front of him, the residual yin qi in the air suddenly became thick.

"Found your lair!"

Fang Rui Zhenyuan surged and slapped his palm.

Rumble!

Gravel lined up.

Then, a curtain of light appeared, apparently with a cave.
