In the Wangjiang Temple on the outskirts of Bashan City, the incense is swirling, and the morning bell rings continuously.

In front of a remote hall at the back of the temple, the one-armed Fang Wu looked at the closed door in front of him, with obvious worry on his face.

"Master has been in retreat for more than 30 days, and in the last seven days, he has completely opened the valley without a drop of water, and I don't know if his body can hold it. ”

There was an old monk standing beside Fang Wu, judging from the robe he was wearing, he should be the presiding officer of this temple, and he shook his head with a smile after hearing Fang Wu's words.

"I went to the palace to visit Mr. Fang half a month ago, and seeing that his qi was like a dragon and he had the potential to soar to the sky, I think Master Fang was too worried. ”

Fang Wu sighed: "In this way, Master's retreat will definitely be successful this time!"

The old monk looked at the hall in front of him and was silent for a while: "The Buddha said that you can't say it." ”

Whew—

A melodious morning bell rang, rippling far away over the entire Wangjiang Temple, and then there was a soft squeak, and the closed door of the temple was pushed open from the inside.

Fang Yue paced out of the dark hall, his face was a little sallow because of the long-term retreat, and his eyes had lost the essence unique to martial arts masters, but if he looked closely, he could see a faint golden halo under his eyes.

"Master!"

Fang Wu was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed over and stretched out his hand to help: "You have been in retreat for many days and your body is weak, I will send you back to rest first!"

Fang Yue waved his hand: "My body is fine, but it's a pity that this retreat is still a failure, and I am only one step away from being able to step into the realm of the Grandmaster." ”

Although Fang Yue's mouth was pitiful, his face couldn't help but show a sense of arrogance, he was only one step away from the grandmaster, that was enough to be proud of the martial arts realm in the land of Sichuan and Shu!

Fang Wu's face was even more joyful: "Congratulations Master, this retreat has greatly improved!"

Fang Yue snorted, and then walked to the abbot: "I have disturbed the temple for many days this time, and I have caused trouble to the master." ”

The abbot had a smile on his face: "Mr. Fang has a lot of merit for the temple on weekdays, and some small things are not worth mentioning. ”

Fang Yue arched his hand: "Fang Mou will come again to thank you and say goodbye another day." ”

Fang Yue took Fang Wu out of this courtyard and came to the waiting car outside Wangjiang Temple, and after the two got into the car, Fang Wu asked, "Master, are we going back to the Fang Family Mansion first?"

Fang Yue nodded: "During this period of absence, what is the situation in the group?"

Fang Wu hurriedly replied: "The group's business is running very smoothly, Miss Fang manages all aspects of the group very well, and she is indeed very capable." ”

Fang Yue nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that it's time to withdraw and hand over the group to her completely." ”

Fang Wu's face showed excitement: "Master, your retreat skills have improved greatly this time, and it won't be long before you can truly enter the realm of the Grandmaster!"

Fang Yue laughed twice, then shook his head: "It's impossible, my martial arts path has come to an end, and for the rest of my life, I am destined to not enter the realm of the grandmaster." ”

"Why!"

Fang Wu didn't expect Master to say this, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

Fang Yue looked at the scenery outside the car window, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Fang Wu, everyone's martial arts path is different, and how far you can go depends on your talent and chance. ”

"When I was young, I practiced martial arts in the Northern Unknown Academy, and at the age of twenty, I became a martial arts master, which can be regarded as a superior talent, but it is still far from a real genius. ”

Fang Yue's face showed a look of memory: "At that time, among the fellow disciples who studied art with me in the Nameless Academy, there was a real genius, he and I were mixed at the same time, three years later, he broke the Yuan Jin, and five years later comprehended the Tian Yuan Jin, and broke the mountain with one blow and shocked the Quartet, and entered the Grandmaster Realm. ”

Fang Wu's face suddenly changed: "Master, are you talking about ...... Seal a thousand mountains?"

Fang Yue nodded: "Entering the Grandmaster Realm at the age of twenty-eight, Feng Qianshan can be said to be a rare leader in the entire north in a hundred years, and I am in the Nameless Courtyard with him, under his light, I have been suffering from gains and losses all day long, and my cultivation has not advanced but retreated in ten years." ”

It was the first time Fang Wu heard Master talk about these past events, and his face showed a sudden expression: "That's why Master, you left the Nameless Courtyard and came to Bashan City in the south?"

"That's really the main reason. ”

Fang Yue nodded: "After I left the Nameless Academy, I reorganized my state of mind and devoted myself to cultivation, and finally comprehended the Breaking Yuan Strength, and then defeated Hua Tieshan, which can be regarded as laying a foundation." ”

Speaking of this, Fang Yue sighed: "In the dozens of days of retreat and impact on the Grandmaster Realm, I have already felt my limit, so only by thinking back to Feng Qianshan in the past can I appreciate his strength even more. ”

A look of surprise appeared on Fang Wu's face, it was the first time he had heard that Master had such a high opinion of people!

"Feng Qianshan is now the master of the Nameless Academy, and his prestige in the north is very high, but Master, you are only one step away from entering the Grandmaster Realm, and you will not be much worse than him!"

Fang Yue smiled bitterly: "You are wrong, although it is only one step, this is a step that countless martial artists cannot take in their lifetime, and it is an insurmountable gap between mediocrity and genius. ”

"Fang Wu, if you still have the opportunity to re-enter the martial arts in the future, then sooner or later you will also stand in front of this chasm. ”

Fang Yue looked at Fang Wu thoughtfully: "At that time, I hope you will be able to go further than your teacher." ”

Fang Wu looked dazed: "Master, I've ...... it"

Fang Yue waved his hand to interrupt Fang Wu's words: "The world is unpredictable, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. ”

While the two were talking, the car had already driven to the Fang Family Mansion, Fang Yue and Fang Wu got out of the car and walked into the gate, and at a glance saw Fang Ni in a formal suit standing in the courtyard.

"Dad, you're back~"

Fang Ni hurriedly stepped forward and gave the old man a warm hug first, and Fang Yuezhi, who hugged him, frowned.

"You girl, I heard that you have taken care of the group well recently, and it seems that I can hand over the entire group to you. ”

Fang Ni suddenly grinned: "Don't! This paragraph is about to exhaust me to death, especially when I went to Hainan to discuss business a few days ago, and I encountered a dog skin plaster, and I still can't get rid of it, and I am almost depressed to death!"

Fang Yue's face sank: "Who dares to pester my daughter!"

Fang Ni sighed: "It's that He Tianbao, it turns out that he always pestered me when he was studying abroad, but this time he met him in Hannan, and he followed me all the way to Bashan City, I really can't get rid of it!"

Fang Yueyi frowned: "He Tianbao, I have an impression of this name, I remember that one of your classmates is a descendant of the He family, the gambling king of Macau, isn't he?"

Fang Ni nodded: "It's him, Brother Gongzi who can't do anything but spend money!"

Fang Wu spoke on the side: "Master, I'll send a few people to drive him away." ”

Fang Yue pondered for a moment and then shook his head: "He is the son of the He family, there must be masters by his side, and the He family is also one of the most famous families in the country, as long as he doesn't make trouble, let him go." ”

Fang Ni sighed, and was about to continue arguing, but was interrupted by Fang Yue.

"Girl, you go and find Lin Yu, I want to find a chance to meet Xiaomeng recently. ”
