Chapter 124, Shangluo
Fang Rui's family set off from Huaiyin Mansion and crossed Wuzhou to start a long journey.
From the beginning of the autumn wind, to the beginning of the winter snow, to the grass and warblers flying, the summer rain gusts, and the frost leaves are like flowers......
Three years have passed in a hurry.
The Fang family spanned Luzhou, Lanzhou, and Qizhou, and on the way, when they encountered prosperous and famous places, they stayed to play and rest, see local scenic spots, and taste all kinds of food; When you encounter a region that you are not interested in, you can either follow the caravan or take a short ride on the Liuyun Qingluan.
It's like a super long journey.
Fang Rui has consummation-level medical skills, the means of a middle-grade spirit master, as a guarantee, compared to the original trip from the three states in the south to Wuzhou, he is also more calm, and the state of Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi and others is also better.
Of course, in the past three years, compared with the last time in Huaiyin Mansion, the growth rate of the robbery points on the panel has shrunk significantly.
But Fang Rui didn't care too much, he still didn't continue, while Fang Xue's family still had energy, while the third lady was still young, he was immersed in this long journey.
He clearly knew that as Fang Xue's family got older, he probably wouldn't have such an opportunity.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the son wants to raise but does not wait, compared to Fang Rui's immortality, Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi and others have too short a lifespan after all, and Fang Rui does not want to leave too many regrets.
But.
No matter how long the journey is, there will be an end to it.
After three spring and autumn cycles, when there is another spring solstice, the swallow pecks the spring mud, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom, Dayu accompanies the capital - Shangluo is about to arrive.
Squeak!
In a custom-made luxury carriage, Fang Rui, Fang Xue, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, Nannan, and Qing Yan were all there.
"Brother Rui, it's almost time to get to Shangluo, right?"
"Yes, third sister, it's going to be over." Fang Rui said with a smile.
"Looking back now, I have eaten a lot on the road: white jade chestnuts from Luzhou, Sancai brocade chicken from Lanzhou, and green arowana from Qizhou...... I've seen a lot: the endless river, the yew on the red earth, the cactus in the Gobi...... It's so reluctant. ”
"You, your brother has taken us so far, eaten so much, seen so much, and should be content."
Fang Xue paused and asked, "Ling'er, do you remember when you were a child in Changshan County?" Those neighbors, too many have never been far away in their lives, just three or five miles in front of their homes, compared to them, we are too lucky. ”
As Fang Ling got older, she rarely reprimanded her anymore.
"Yes, such a trip, but it's too extravagant, after this experience, I feel that it is worth it for a lifetime."
The third lady smiled gently.
When she dreamed back at midnight, she was glad more than once for her original choice, and she was extremely satisfied with her current life.
Every day, with anticipation, every day, with enthusiasm, gratitude, contentment, as if for fear of an accident, alarm and shatter this beautiful dream.
"I'll just say it, I'm also satisfied, I like and appreciate my brother the most."
Fang Ling said coquettishly.
Along the way, she has also seen too much, and she is also very sensible, knowing how lucky she is to have such a brother, and she is full of gratitude.
"Yes, without Uncle Fang, I would have been gone a long time ago." Qing Yan also said on the side.
"Brother Rui, how can I repay you?" Nan Nan looked at it with attachment.
"What stupid things are you talking about?"
Fang Rui rubbed her air bangs.
Not only Fang Xue and Fang Ling, but also the three ladies and Nannan, he has long been regarded as relatives.
Qingyan ...... Well, it's still under investigation.
"You all say that I have paid, but you have also given me a lot of warmth and happiness, which is my anchor!" Fang Rui smiled, his gaze soft.
The feeling of cherishing is not that I have experienced the true feelings of the world, but I can't understand that I have a sister, a daughter, and a happy family.
- Mutual respect, mutual harmony, mutual care, this kind of family affection has been strong for a long time, he has, tastes, enjoys, the feeling of wanting to give them the best of the world, is pale and empty in any language.
Ruthless may not be a true hero, how to pity a husband and not a husband!
In Fang Rui's opinion, if it is so close to each other, it is just a cold interest, regardless of life and death, only indifferent divinity, too ruthless......
Then, no matter how powerful it is, it is just a puppet of power after all.
"By the way, something suddenly occurred to me. Brother Rui, you said, let's come all the way, and everything we see seems to be peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, and it is too safe and healthy. ”
The third lady started a topic and pulled everyone out of the sensational atmosphere.
"Yes, in retrospect, it was. It seems that our Yunzhou is full of disasters and difficulties, and it seems to be ...... The calamities under the world have all converged and passed. Fang Xue agreed.
"Mother, that's an interesting statement."
Fang Rui's eyes flashed, and he secretly thought: "Along the way, all parts of Dayu are indeed too smooth, and the wind and rain are abnormal!" The Great Purge, which occurs once every few decades, is concentrated in this transcendent world...... It's really not impossible. ’
"Brother Fang! Brother Fang! At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"It's the proprietor Yu, probably almost in Shangluo, I came here to explain, I'll take a look!"
Fang Rui said, go out.
The so-called 'Yu Dongzhu' is the owner of the caravan that the Fang family followed on this last journey, named Yu Song.
Sure enough, Yu Song came over with a smile on his face, and said, "Brother Fang, we have reached the Two Realms Mountain, and we still have half a day's journey to Shangluo." ”
He was extremely polite, even, with a hint of flattery.
A person's excellence cannot be hidden, just like Fang Rui.
During this journey, as soon as Fang Ruifu made a move, he captured the famous 'plum blossom thief', and later, he cured two caravan members who were suddenly ill.
A character like Yu Song travels from south to north, naturally has good eyesight, and knows that Fang Rui is capable, but as the owner of the caravan, he can also pull his face, he is very good at doing things, and the other party takes special care of him, and even his attitude can be said to be a little flattering.
"Thank you for informing me."
Fang Rui raised his eyes and looked at it, and saw a mountain range in the shape of an index finger in the distance, towering into the clouds, and the spring flowers blooming below, you can see bright colors, but the top is straight into the sky, covered with ice and snow.
"That extremely high mountain is the Two Realms Mountain?" He asked.
"Not bad."
Yu Song introduced: "Maybe it's because the mountains of the two realms are too high, or maybe there are other factors, the lower mountain range has four seasonal changes, but the upper part is always covered with ice and snow all year round, like the two realms divided, hence the name." ”
"Once upon a time, there were often martial arts masters who duel in the mountains of the two realms."
He knew that Fang Rui liked to listen to some interesting stories, and he didn't sell Guanzi, so he said directly: "The last martial artist duel, about three years ago, was a duel, and it was still two third-grade martial artists, and it is said that they are both second-grade, one surnamed Xu and the other surnamed Kou. ”
"Soon after the duel, the former disappeared in the Two Realms Mountain, and the latter went to Wuzhou, and later heard that he also disappeared inexplicably."
"Because I think this matter is evil, from now on, there are far fewer martial artists who duel in the mountains of the two realms."
"Oh? Second-grade martial artist, Wuzhou ......"
Fang Rui's eyes flashed: "At the beginning, Zhen Daoji searched for the Yang Attribute Dragon Ball in my hand and made a third-grade Yin corpse, the identity of the Yin corpse before his death, could it be the martial artist surnamed Kou who went to Wuzhou?" ”
……
Half a day later.
On the horizon, a majestic city lies on the side, and the Luo River is surging.
In the center of this huge city, a majestic pillar of golden light soared into the sky, and countless golden points of light floated around it, arranged according to the nine palace gossip, covering the sky and the sun.
With Fang Rui's eyesight, he could naturally see that those golden points of light were hanging light and shadow banners in the air.
These light and shadow banners shrouded down as a base node of the formation and turned into a huge hemispherical light curtain, encompassing the entire Upper Los Angeles City, smooth as a mirror, and changing color with the daylight.
There are also four spirit phantoms of the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu that are condensed with energy, constantly wandering and flying, looking extremely spectacular.
"It's so beautiful, the whole Upper Los Angeles City is like a pearl."
"Yes, look over there, there are four spirit beasts circling and flying...... What a fairy city! ”
"On the way, we traveled all over the three states, even if it was the state cities of Lu, Lan, and Qi, there was no place like here."
"Shangluo is the capital of the city, how can other cities be compared?"
……
Rao is has seen a lot of big scenes along the way, but Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi and others, as well as the big and small maids, still exclaimed when they saw this scene.
Yu Song proudly introduced: "In the sky above Shangluo City, there is the Holy Emperor's Relic Treasure 'Chaos Four Elephant Flags' turned into 129,600 star flags, and even the celestial phenomena can change ......."
'Oh? The Holy Emperor's Relic 'Chaos Four Elephant Flags'? I have heard the name of the innate treasure for a long time, and today, I finally got in touch with one up close. ’
Fang Rui secretly pondered, raising his eyes and looking out, the martial arts intuition and the spirit master spiritual sense all felt at the same time that there was a vast and boundless majestic force in the sky above Shangluo City.
'Worthy of the name of the Innate Supreme Treasure, this 'Chaos Four Elephant Flags' gives me the feeling that the essence is extremely high, and it is definitely higher than any secret treasure or the like, and I don't know where it goes. ’
'The Dayu Imperial Court is the atmosphere, such an innate treasure, and it is placed outside. Of course, in other words, there must be a lot of various protections, and if someone really dares to do anything, it is definitely looking for death. ’
"Well, set a small goal, and in the long life in the future, find an opportunity to get an innate treasure to play." ’
He mused.
"It's good to go to Los Angeles, but it's ......"
Yu Song gushed endlessly, introduced Shangluo City for a while, and suddenly changed his words, showing a bitter face: "Shangluoju, it's not easy." Not to mention the high prices, all kinds of government preferential policies require household registration to enjoy ......"
"Still,"
Speaking of this, a look of pride appeared on his face: "I will stay for another three years, pay enough taxes, and then I can meet all the conditions and get the household registration in Upper Los Angeles, and then I will be eligible to buy a house in Upper Los Angeles...... In the future, the child will also be able to take the state exam in Upper Los Angeles, and I can't say that I can become an official in the future......"
"Ahem!"
When Fang Rui heard this, his face was extremely strange: "Why does this thing sound so familiar?!" ’
A different version of the settlement policy?
That's a ...... Xiu'er! ’
He was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to complain for a while.
……
Enter the city.
So as not to trouble, a pair of flowing Yunqingluan did not take it with it and put it outside.
- Fang Rui was not afraid that they would be wild outside, so he ran away, and a pair of Liuyun Qingluan had spiritual imprints left on their bodies, so they came out regularly to fight, and then gave them a 'sweet date'.
After entering the city, Yu Song enthusiastically led the way and introduced the inn.
After settling down temporarily, Fang Rui thought about it and contacted Zhou Changfa.
This identity on his face is naturally usable - at the beginning, Zhen Daoji was killed before he was even arrested.
Afterwards, Zhen Daoji and Zhen Yi died, and no one would think that Fang Rui, a little sixth-rank martial artist, would have the ability to kill the Zhen family's uncle and nephew.
When Zhen Taiyuan calculated the backlash, he even did the 'Half-Immortal Family Fighting Method', this series of changes was dizzying, how could anyone pay attention to Fang Rui's small role anymore?
Not long after.
Zhou Changfa was invited to come: "Hahaha, Fang Rui, is it really you?!" I didn't expect us to meet again here! ”
"Lord Zhou, meet again!"
Fang Rui greeted him with a smile.
At this time, Yu Song, who was asked by him to buy good dishes, came back and saw this scene.
"Brother Fang, I'm back, let's see what good wine and food I prepared for you...... Uh, Lord Zhou?! It turns out that Brother Fang is going to invite you? ”
"Brother Fang, you talk!"
Yu Song retreated with a smile.
Zhou Changfa is one of the most famous people in the city, he naturally knows him - this understanding is that he knows Zhou Changfa, and Zhou Changfa doesn't know him.
Yes, the circumference of the third grade, even if he is accompanied by Shangluo in this Dayu, he can be regarded as the No. 1 top big man.
"That Lord Zhou, I heard that he used to be the god of a certain state capital, and now, he has abdicated to Shangluo for retirement......
'Dragons don't have sex with snakes, and if they can have a connection with such a character, Brother Fang must be very human. I have hit a lot of luck this time, and I must deepen my friendship with Brother Fang in the future. ’
Yu Song secretly made up her mind.
……
"Lord Zhou, please!" Fang Rui raised his glass.
"I'm no longer the god of Huaiyin Mansion, if you want, call me Brother Zhou!"
Bang!
The two clinked glasses, and as the wine entered their stomachs, they had a good conversation.
Zhou Changfa talked about his retirement experience in Upper Los Angeles in recent years.
Fang Rui told what happened in Huaiyin Mansion City after the other party left, Ge Changgeng was assassinated by Zhang Hatshui and Sun Shoucai, he took in Qingyan, and later Zhang Hatshui and Sun Shoucai each had their own retribution.
"Daoist Ge, you saved my life...... Alas, another old friend is gone, gone! ”
Zhou Changfa sighed deeply and drank several glasses in a row.
Good for a while.
Only then did he raise his head and look at Fang Rui's gaze, obviously appreciating it even more: "Fang Rui, Daoist Ge told me at the beginning, you have the style of a gentleman, you can be trusted. ”
In retrospect, that was true. In the matter of Qingyan, you have done a good job, I respect you for this glass of wine. ”
"Brother Zhou has an overreputation." Fang Rui shook his head and drank it all.
"Wuzhou is indeed not peaceful. At the beginning, a genius martial artist surnamed Kou, who was a second grade, went to Wuzhou and disappeared inexplicably......"
"Also, I heard that the Zhen family, a half-immortal family in Wuzhou, after the two descendants were killed, the ancestors were all vomiting blood, and their longevity was greatly reduced, and it was gone last year."
These are all very early news, because it is related to Wuzhou, Zhou Changfa deliberately paid attention to one or two.
Really speaking, in this world, the speed of message transmission between the top layers is extremely fast, no slower than Fang Rui's previous life, otherwise Da Yu would not be able to rule such a large territory.
"Huh?!"
Fang Rui learned more detailed information from Zhou Changfa, and after a little calculation, he found that the time when the martial artist surnamed Kou disappeared and the time when Zhen Daoji got the upper third-grade yin corpse, the two roughly coincided.
'At the beginning, the third-grade yin corpse in Zhen Daoji's hand was most likely really the martial artist surnamed Kou. ’
'That martial artist surnamed Kou was used as a material by the Zhen family's hunting, so what about the other second-grade martial artist surnamed Xu who disappeared in the mountains of the Two Realms? No, what do I want to do with these?! ’
He shook his head slightly, retracting his thoughts.
……
Fang Rui and Zhou Changfa, the two drank and chatted.
Perhaps, it is not as good as in Huaiyin Mansion, the two have no superior-subordinate relationship; Perhaps, in this Dayu accompanied the capital Shangluo to 'meet old acquaintances in a foreign land', or there is a common old friend and bond with Ge Changgeng......
The two gradually got married, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and the topics became more and more casual.
In the afternoon, the sun shrouded the earth, a warm breeze passed through the hall, and the mottled floating light in the wine glass entered from the mouth, turning into wind flowers and snow and moon.
A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking.
