Chapter 195: Big Things and Little Things
Zhou Fengyuan thought for a while, and added: "But don't keep not reading and being unreasonable." If you are not a pure reader, you can't read books? You can also read from time to time, cultivate your temperament, think more and ponder more, and it is still good, otherwise no matter how big your fist is, you will only be a reckless man at the bottom of the rivers and lakes, and in the end you will only roll at the foot of the mountain, and it will be difficult to reach the top of the mountain. ”
Fang Yan nodded, "I know." ”
Zhou Fengyuan patted him on the shoulder, at this time he really looked a little like a scholar in the academy.
There are some things he didn't say to the young man, such as what is the destiny of the lotus saint, and what is the meaning of putting the remaining Confucian and Taoist fortunes on him, why didn't he borrow him all the way to climb the mountain, in order to view the Tao itself, and the stone of his mountain can attack the jade.
But he didn't say that it was already good, and it was useless to say more.
As a Confucian sage who has extended his own lineage, the truth is no smaller than the sky, Fang Yan can roughly comprehend it, he can be regarded as half an anonymous disciple, the more the merrier, and his own Taoism is different, and it is inconvenient to talk more about others, just use the voice of the soul to warn and beat to prevent it from happening.
In this matter, Zhou Fengyuan's behavior was similar to the head of Xu Youliang sent by Meng Changkong, accompanied by the hints of the Great Dao, implicitly reasoning, stabilizing the young man's temperament, and helping him wash his Dao heart. This kind of thing has been done, it is not good, but now it is just right and complements each other.
Don't say it, don't ask for it, it should be.
Zhou Fengyuan smiled: "Do you know why I came at this time?"
Fang Yan looked puzzled, Zhou Fengyuan patted his sleeve and stood up, "Just come with me." ”
Fang Yan had no choice, so he put down the teacup, simply tidied up his clothes, stretched his muscles and bones that had not been moved for a long time, Zhou Fengyuan drank the glass of wine he had just poured, put the wine glass into his arms, and did not forget to close the doors and windows before leaving.
The two walked on the street, Fang Yan put on his mask according to Zhou Fengyuan's instructions, and tightened his collar slightly, after all, he was recovering from a serious illness, and it was inevitable that the weather was a little biting, and the two quickly walked to a mansion, Fang Yan looked familiar, stared at the plaque, and saw that it was the Xu family's mansion.
The guard at the door saw Zhou Fengyuan, hurriedly opened the door and let them go, and invited the two of them to enter, Fang Yan glanced at Zhou Fengyuan suspiciously, now Senior Zhou is so famous? Zhou Fengyuan noticed Fang Yan's meaning, and he had no choice but to spread his hands and didn't explain much.
The guards looked at Fang Yan with some trepidation, after all, he had also broken into the Xu family in this dress before, and almost killed himself, but the old man told them to keep their mouths tightly shut and not dare to chew their tongues.
The two of them walked into the inner hall one after the other, but they saw many acquaintances, the heads of various families were seated here, in addition to the Six Battle Gate Meng Changkong, the old woman of the Hundred Bird Sect, and some representatives of the mountain sects in Luohua City were all there, to Fang Yan's surprise, Liu Youzhou was also there. When everyone saw Zhou Fengyuan, they all got up and signaled, and then saw Fang Yan with different expressions.
Zhou Fengyuan was not polite, he sat directly on the supreme seat, and the rest of the people sat down again, Fang Yan found an empty bench and sat down, and Fang Hong happened to sit opposite, the latter's face was not very good-looking, slightly stiff, and the eyes of others also looked at Fang Yan from time to time, obviously the elders of the various families recounted the situation of that day after they went back.
Fang Yan and the others were the last to arrive, and after Zhou Fengyuan sat down, he first pointed at Fang Yan and said, "You all know about him, so I won't say more." ”
The rest of the people couldn't check their heads, but looking at Zhou Fengyuan's gaze was much more complicated, after all, they had only learned that there were such immortal figures in their city in the past month, and they should have taken care of the wonton shop's business more in the past, and it would be good to earn a familiar face!
Fang Hong adjusted his mood, smiled and said to Fang Yan, "Dare to ask the name of the immortal master?"
Fang Yan also suppressed the slightly fluctuating state of mind, and said lightly: "See you." ”
See ...... The other families chewed on this name, obviously they had never heard of it, but a few eyes secretly looked at Fang Hong, thinking that the same surname was Fang, could it be a relative?
Fang Hong was silent on the surface, but in his heart, he recalled the scene of the other party paying tribute to his ancestral throne, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked, could it be that he was really a distant relative? But looking at the appearance and voice, he was too young! The Fang family moved to Luohua City since Fang lost a line, and Fang lost never said any relatives and friends, in case ...... Fang Hong couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.
Fang Yan didn't care, turned around and saluted Meng Changkong: "Thank you Senior Meng for taking care of me some time ago." ”
Meng Changkong laughed, understanding that the other party was thanking Xu Youliang, and the meaning of mentioning this at this joint point was obvious, so he waved his hand indifferently. The head of the Xu family's body shook slightly, but he didn't say anything, he returned to calm, obviously discussed with the Six Battles Gate, and was determined to suffer this closed-door loss.
The rest of the representatives of the sect on the mountain frowned a little, since Zhou Fengyuan took the initiative to reveal his identity, who is not afraid of this master of the Yuanying realm, and has to add a little respect, after all, everyone is here for the Confucianism opportunity, how much to sell a little face, Fang Yan was brought by Zhou Fengyuan, although the surface breath is the most foundational, but it is still not to be underestimated. Looking at his performance, is he friendly with the Six Battle Gates? Thinking about it this way, the situation is unfavorable!
Liu Youzhou also sat quite close to Fang Yan, looking at the young man's gaze quite playfully, then pressed his hand, and whispered: "Immortal Master Fang, wait if you are free, I want to ask the immortal master to discuss something below." ”
Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.
Zhou Fengyuan waited patiently, and then opened his mouth to discuss the current situation in Luohua City, after all, the Nine Shadows army pressed the border, and Lanzhou had no borders, it seemed that it was not about himself, but it must be implicated, how many countries were eyeing each other, in vain trying to become their own fiefdom, it was a place where soldiers must fight, and it has not been peaceful, and it has become more and more obvious in recent years, in the eyes of everyone, this time it is very likely to be the fuse, Wendan Academy is suspicious of these, plus the matter of Confucianism and Taoism seeds caused a gap between the sects, so that Zhou Fengyuan "willingly" Stand up and say it, otherwise, with his temperament, he will participate less if he can.
Fang Yan is just sitting with him, more to deter the rest of the family, after all, the most powerful Xu family is now sold to Fang Yan for face, and the other families are not easy to seek their own interests, and they can barely be considered harmonious. Some people advocate joining the surrounding city, others oppose it, and the atmosphere is enthusiastic.
Fang Yan has a little understanding of the situation in Lanzhou along the way, the large and small cities are relatively independent, and it is difficult to unify in a short period of time, not to mention that the vitality of such as Qishui City is greatly damaged, and he is still cultivating himself, which is undoubtedly worse at this time, but he also said cautiously, after all, except for the Six Battle Sects, the rest of the sects do not know their identities, and it is best to say less at this time.
After discussing mundane matters, the heads of each family looked quite solemn and got up to say goodbye, while the other sect representatives were in high spirits, waiting for Zhou Fengyuan to mention the matter of Confucian seeds.
Fang Yan didn't want to stay longer, and followed out the door, Fang Hong followed by his side quietly, and said with a smile: "Immortal Master Fang, meet again." ”
Fang Yan nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I'm really sorry for the events of that day, disturbing the purity of the dead. ”
Fang Hong waved his hand, "Immortal Master doesn't have to blame himself, but my Immortal Master's voice is somewhat familiar, have I seen it anywhere?
Fang Yan shook his head and said no more, Fang Hong was bored, and when he saw Liu Youzhou, who was tall and tall, striding forward, he didn't dare to offend, and left in a hurry with some regret.
Liu Youzhou lowered his voice, "Talk in a different place." ”
Fang Yan nodded, followed Liu Youzhou in steps, and about three steps away from him, the two of them left Xu's house and went straight to a wine shop. On the way, Liu Youzhou turned around and found that although the young man's footsteps were vain, he was still not in a hurry or panic, and kept his three steps unchanged, so he couldn't help but look at him again.
The guy at the wine shop quickly arranged the seats, it was noon, and the crowd was crowded, Liu Youzhou ordered a few hot dishes, asked for two pots of wine, and said while pouring the wine: "Eat first, during the time I came to Luohua City, I found this food to be more appetizing." ”
This wine shop has only been opened in the past few years, Fang Yan took the chopsticks, did not move the wine, first sandwiched some fish, and it was really fragrant and delicious in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
Liu Youzhou hehehehe
Fang Yan paused for a moment, and then said, "So what?"
Liu Youzhou had a spectrum in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's not what Meng seniors said, we also guessed it, Fang Shaoxia is a hero on the list, his breath can shake Tianyue, he has such cultivation at a young age, and his shot is even more transcendental. ”
He didn't forget to help Meng Changkong explain, so as not to misunderstand the other party, and at the same time silently changed the title of the teenager to Shaoxia, which was closer.
Fang Yan glanced at the surroundings and saw that there were no acquaintances, then he took off his mask and put it aside, Liu Youzhou took a light breath, although he knew that all the people on the glass list were young, but the one in front of him was indeed too young, was it really less than twenty?
Fang Yan ate some cold dishes again, hummed to express his appreciation, and then said, "I don't know what General Liu has to say?"
Liu Youzhou smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to call myself a general, just a little captain, I got up from the pile of dead people and gave a group of lowly soldiers, this time it was Fang Shaoxia who met Fang Shaoxia, so there was no loss, and now Fang knows that there is a sky outside the sky, and he is ashamed and ashamed, so he specially came to confess, and asked Fang Shaoxia to understand." ”
Fang Yan smiled, "We already met in Pingshui, and there is no mortal enmity, but since Captain Liu is the position of a captain, there shouldn't be only these soldiers under him." ”
Liu Youzhou heard the meaning of his words, took a sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Dare to ask Fang Shaoxia, do you know the Shadow Sect?"
Fang Yan's heart shook, and he said quietly: "I've heard of it, isn't it attached to the Nine Shadows?"
Liu Youzhou nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Under the Shadow Sect, there is also the Shadow Gate, which has set up a rudder in Lanzhou Undercurrent City. After all, we are from other states, smuggled from the waterway, without identity, I thought that I would pass by Luohua City along the way, and by the way, I would win over the Xu family, and I would be able to go to Undercurrent City more justifiably, but after Xu Youliang's incident, the Xu family's attitude towards us became more and more bottom, if it wasn't for Meng Changkong's predecessors to speak, I am afraid that I would not be able to clear the customs documents, and finally fall short. ”
Fang Yan was stunned, no wonder he felt that their purpose was more than that, he asked, "Have you ever told Senior Zhou about these things?"
Liu Youzhou nodded, his brows furrowed, "The senior naturally knows, but what he says is not important, so he will turn a blind eye, but I think the senior seems to have something to hide." ”
Fang Yan took a bite of food, and asked the guy for a glass of water by the way, Liu Youzhou was a little surprised, it turned out that this Fang Shaoxia didn't drink!
The two of them ate silently for a while, Liu Youzhou couldn't hold back, put down his chopsticks, and said frankly: "Actually, after Fang Shaoxia, after you left that day, Senior Meng found the juniors and others, and told me that if the young man left the city, I would need to escort him for a while, and when I arrived at Jiuyou, I should be the reward for clearing the customs clearance." ”
He smiled bitterly in his heart, he should have set off for Undercurrent City a month ago, but it had been delayed so far, the battle was fierce, how could he not be in a hurry, but there was no way.
Fang Yan nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, it was not bad as he thought, Senior Meng probably wanted Zhao He to travel with him to sharpen his mind, and then sent Liu Youzhou all the way, with the same intention of protecting the road.
