Chapter 33: Chen Fangping
The Baisha River Oasis is more than 3,200 miles long from east to west, more than 1,700 miles wide from north to south, and has a population of millions.
This oasis is named because of a long river that runs through the north and south of the oasis, the long river originates from the white camel ridge in the south of the oasis, and flows into the Jinshui Lake in the north of the oasis from south to north.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the area of the Baisha River Oasis was only about half of what it is now, and it was the Xiuxian family who occupied the Baisha River Oasis that expanded the area of the oasis to this extent through more than 1,000 years of uninterrupted investment in manpower and material resources for artificial afforestation.
Up to now, in addition to the Zifu family of the Chen family in Baihuoling, there are four Zhuji families attached to the Chen family, as well as dozens of small families composed of Qi cultivation period cultivators.
Because of the existence of the Immortal Cultivator Fang City, and the ancestor of the Chen family, Chen Yaohui, a monk in the late stage of the Purple Mansion, was in charge of the deterrent, the Baisha River Oasis did not prohibit foreign monks from entering and leaving.
However, because there are still millions of mortals living in the oasis, the Chen family and those immortal cultivators who are attached to the Chen family have specially set up contact points in conspicuous places on all sides of the oasis, and send family monks to be stationed in them all year round to guide the foreign monks to go to the Fang City correctly, so as not to disturb those mortals by these foreign monks.
If you do not enter the Baisha River Oasis through these contact points, once you are discovered by the Chen family monk patrol team patrolling the oasis, you will be fined with spirit stones, or you may be directly killed by the intruder.
On this day, outside the junction somewhere in the south of the Baisha River Oasis, a young man in white riding a sand beast was ushered in.
The young man rode on the back of the sand beast, like most people who cross the sea of sand to reach the oasis, his face full of tiredness.
It wasn't until he saw the golden palace attic on the mountain peak in the distance that he lifted his spirits, and his eyes showed a look of excitement.
The young man was none other than Zhou Yang, who had been walking in the desert for dozens of days, and forty-two days had passed since he left the Yuquan Lake Oasis.
Since he was attacked by sand bandits that day, he had a smooth journey in the following days, and he never encountered any danger except for killing two first-order desert demon beasts that did not open his eyes.
It's just a forty-two consecutive days of desert travel, because of the daily consumption of divine sense, his spirit is extremely tired, and he urgently needs to find a safe place to rest.
The contact points set up by various families on the periphery of the Baisha River Oasis are undoubtedly a good place to rest.
"Daoyou invited, Chen Fangping, in the Lower White Camel Ridge, was assigned by the family to guide Daoyou from all walks of life here, dare to ask Daoyou's surname?
Outside the splendid reception hall, Zhou Yang, who rushed up the mountain peak in the dust, met the monks of the Chen family stationed here.
Because he was only responsible for attracting foreign monks to Fang City, the Chen family did not have high requirements for the cultivation of monks who carried out this kind of task, and the Chen family monk Chen Fangping in front of Zhou Yang looked more than ten years older than him in terms of age, and he looked white and chubby, and his cultivation was only five levels of Qi cultivation.
However, with the big backer of the Chen family in the White Camel Ridge, even in the face of a cultivator like him who practiced the eighth layer of qi, Chen Fangping's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was very indifferent.
Zhou Yang is not surprised by this, if it were him, with the ancestor of the Purple Mansion Period as a backer, he would not grovel in front of a strange monk of the same generation who was younger than himself, unless the other party was a foundation building period monk.
He smiled and returned the salute, and said in an affectionate tone: "It turned out to be Brother Fang Ping of Baihuling, who was in Zhou Yang of the Zhou family in Lower Yuquan Lake, and was ordered by the family to come to Jinshafang City to take care of the [Yuquan Pavilion] of the Zhou family on behalf of his father Zhou Xuanhao, which is the identity token of the Zhou family. ”
Hearing that Zhou Yang was from the Chen family's allied family, Chen Fangping's face moved, and after receiving the identity token he handed over and seeing the information left by Zhou Minghan, a monk in the foundation building period, a smile appeared on his face.
"It turned out to be the Zhou Yang brother of the Yuquan Zhou family, it was really disrespectful and disrespectful, although the cultivation of the brother was low, but I had also heard of the name of Lingzun's second-order high-grade alchemist, I never thought that the elder brother was young, and he was already able to inherit Lingzun's career, and it was really a tiger father without a dog!"
Zhou Xuanhao has lived in the Baishahe Oasis for a long time, and the name of the second-order high-grade alchemist is naturally registered in various families, so when he heard that Zhou Yang was Zhou Xuanhao's son, and saw that he had an eighth-layer cultivation of qi cultivation at a young age, Chen Fangping's attitude immediately improved greatly.
While returning Zhou Yang's identity token, he stretched out his hand affectionately, made a gesture of please, and said: "My brother came all the way from the Yuquan Lake Oasis, it must have been hard work, not much to say, my brother is here, please, for my brother, let people prepare soup and meals for my brother." ”
"Brother Chen is high-minded, junior brother has thanked Brother Chen first. ”
Zhou Yang was also not polite, put away the token and followed Chen Fangping into the receiving hall, as for the Shatuo beast mount, naturally the Chen family arranged for the mortal horsemen to serve here to take it and feed it well.
Entering the reception hall, Zhou Yang first entered the hot spring pool in the apse under the guidance of the maid and took a hot bath, and when he changed into clean clothes and returned to the front hall, Chen Fangping had already prepared a table of good dishes and meals waiting here.
The dish is a medicinal diet made of demon beast meat and second-order elixirs such as 100-year-old yellow essence and 100-year-old ginseng, and the rice is steamed by [Jinzhu rice], after eating a meal, Zhou Yang and Chen Fangping are already called brothers, and people who don't know see it, and they think that the two are good friends who have been friends for many years!
But my brother also has to settle accounts, no, I, Chen Fangping, take you Zhou Yang as a brother, are you embarrassed to eat white food?
When Zhou Yang was full of food and drink, when he received the consumption list handed over by Chen Fangping, his face was very exciting.
He was a little strange just now, the two were just meeting for the first time, even if Chen Fangping wanted to make friends with him because of his father Zhou Xuanhao, this meal was a little too rich.
It's just that at that time, the other party had already moved his chopsticks, and he was really attracted by the index finger of this table of good dishes and rice, so he didn't think about it anymore, just thought that the Chen family was a big business, and he didn't care about this.
It wasn't until now that he saw the consumption list handed over by the other party that he suddenly realized that he was being tricked.
This Chen Fangping wants to befriend him, this is clearly a meal!
Now that I think about it, Chen Fangping's previous attitude was indeed a little too enthusiastic.
Their Zhou family and the Chen family say that it sounds like an alliance, but in fact, the Zhou family is the younger brother of the Chen family, although Chen Fangping's cultivation is low, it is also a child of the Chen family, if there is no interest driven, there is no need to lower his body to slap him!
Therefore, the real situation can only be that after Chen Fangping heard that his father was Zhou Xuanhao, a second-order high-grade alchemist, he decided that he was a rich fat sheep, so he would treat him warmly with a big change of attitude, the purpose was to slaughter him fiercely.
Anyway, with the Chen family as a backer, and on his own territory, people are really not afraid that he will dare to eat the overlord meal.
After thinking about all this, Zhou Yang's face gradually returned to calm, everything was eaten, and he couldn't repay the account if he wanted to, not to mention that it was just a meal, and he Zhou Yang would not even be able to pay for a meal.
"Brother Chen is a good method, little brother admires, admires!"
He looked at Chen Fangping, who was also looking at him indifferently, with a calm face, and lightly arched his hand, offering a meal fee of up to hundreds of spirit stones.
After receiving the spirit stone, Chen Fangping's indifferent face changed again, and he looked at him with a smile and said: "My brother is worthy of being an outstanding son of the Zhou family, this shot is magnanimous, my friend and brother of yours have made up my mind, and if there is anything I want to help in the Baisha River Oasis in the future, although the elder brother speaks, although my brother's cultivation is not high, I can still say a few words from my father." ”
"Oh, I don't know who Ling Zun is?" Zhou Yang's expression moved, and he looked at Chen Fangping with some surprise.
This round-faced dead fat man with a thick face and a black heart, is he also a second-generation immortal?
"My father Chen Ping'an is!"
Chen Fangping's face flashed with pride, and he proudly said a name that made Zhou Yang's face change greatly.
"Chen Ping'an, could it be that Chen Ping'an Chen who killed the third-order high-grade demon beast [Gold Swallowing Toad] with one sword?"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but exclaim, his face full of surprise.
"Yes!" Chen Fangping seemed to be very satisfied with the change in Zhou Yang's face, and nodded proudly.
"It turns out that Brother Chen is actually the son of Chen's predecessors, no wonder ......" Zhou Yang looked at the round-faced fat man with a proud face with a strange face, and said in his heart, no wonder this guy who has only practiced qi at the fifth level of cultivation dares to pit him like this, a monk with an eighth layer of qi cultivation.
In addition to the tiger skin of the Chen family, the emotional family also has their backs against the big tree of Chen Ping'an.
That Chen Ping'an is not an ordinary person, he is one of the more than a dozen foundation-building monks of the Chen family, cultivated to the ninth layer of the foundation, and is the first person of the Chen family to build the foundation under the ancestor of the Chen family, and the most brilliant record is to kill the third-order high-grade demon beast "Gold Swallowing Toad", which is known for its defensive power, with a fourth-order flying sword "Baihong Sword".
There is such a big father, as long as Chen Fangping does not offend the monks of the Zifu period, he can basically walk sideways in the Baisha River Oasis, of course, he is not afraid of a little monk of the Zhuji family in Zhouyang District.
Chen Fangping looked at the change in Zhou Yang's face, and he didn't know what his unfinished words were, but he didn't mind, after all, this was the truth.
His eyes narrowed, and he walked to Zhou Yang's side with a kind face, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "How is it? Now my brother still feels that he is at a loss? You invite my brother and me to have a meal, and you will have the opportunity to get in touch with your father, which is definitely a big profit, you must know that with the status of your father, it is not easy for the patriarch of your Zhou family to come and see him!"
"I ......"
Zhou Yang looked at Chen Fangping, who looked at him with a look of "you have made a lot of money", and he really felt like an orange cat in his heart.
He tilted his head slightly, avoiding the direct gaze of the round and fat face, and coughed lightly in embarrassment: "Ahem, since Brother Chen said so, then the little brother took the liberty to ask again, do you want spirit stones to sleep and rest here?"
Zhou Yang is also scared of the pit, eat a trench and grow wise, now in addition to breathing, drink a glass of water and sleep must first ask in advance whether it is free or not.
When Chen Fangping saw him like this, he was also amused by his words, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, my brother is really interesting, don't worry, not only is there no charge for sleeping, but how about my brother also give you two beauties to warm the bed for free?"
