Chapter 21: The Hermit's Sayings

Sometimes, the best way to find someone doesn't have to be active, waiting is also a way to find someone. Especially when you know that the other person will definitely come to find you, this method can be described as simple and straightforward.

Yue Fan stayed in Zhangde Mansion for so many days, just to wait for the people from the Shenji Pavilion to find him. As for the source of the news, Yue Fan believed that the Shenji Pavilion was no worse than the upstairs, and he would naturally be able to find himself very easily. It's just that he didn't expect Ji Lao to come in person.

"Little Fan ......"

Ji Lao stepped into the door and quickly stepped forward to hug Yue Fan, his face full of joy.

"Ji Lao, I'm ......" Surrounded by warmth, Yue Fan didn't know what to say, so he stood still.

After a while, Yun Fang stepped forward and quipped: "Old Ji, you look at your appearance that scares others and makes Brother Li so embarrassed." ”

"Uh!" After coming back to his senses, Ji Lao found that Yue Fan's body was stiff, and hurriedly let go and said, "It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe!"

The greetings of the elderly are always so simple, but few people will understand, in fact, they only want to be safe and healthy, and other things are really not so important to them.

Yue Fan nodded, moved his footsteps away, and Kou Fei was standing behind him.

Yun Fang bowed politely and said, "Boy, Yun Fang has seen the 'knife idiot' seniors. ”

"Oh!" Kou Fei said curiously, "I didn't think you knew the old man too?"

"Know, of course I know, who doesn't know the famous 'knife idiot' Kou Daxia?" As he spoke, Yun Fang led his hand to Ji Lao and said, "This is my master, Mr. Ji, who is a storyteller in the teahouse." ”

Ji Lao took two steps forward, eagerly held Kou Fei's hands and said: "Kou Daxia is Xiaofan's friend, everyone is their own person, Kou Daxia can call me Lao Ji in the future." ”

The other party's enthusiasm made Kou Fei not very accustomed to it, so he had to smile and say: "What a hero and a little shrimp, we are both about the same age, I call you Lao Ji, then you also call me Lao Dao......" Even though Kou Fei stepped into the threshold of the Heavenly Dao, his nature remained unchanged, and he pulled Ji Lao and began to speak freely again.

"I said Lao Ji don't be polite to me, I like the name Lao Dao very much! Speaking of the origin of this name, it has to start from when I first came out of the rivers and lakes, and I want to ...... back then."

"Cough, cough!" Yue Fan coughed dryly, interrupted Kou Fei's nonsense, took Xiao Mingyou and said: "Ji Lao, this kid is the only person alive in Taoyuan Village, his name is Qi Mingyou." ”

"Hello grandpa. Xiao Mingyou obediently took the gift of a junior, and his crisp voice carried a hint of sadness, obviously remembering the events of the day.

Your relatives are watching you from the sky, and they want you to live happily and grow up healthily. You are the continuation of their lives, and you deserve to live well for them. "Ji Lao has also heard about the matter of Taoyuan Village. The whole village died, leaving only this poor child, which has to be said to be a tragedy!

Kou Fei couldn't stand this sad and heavy atmosphere, so he said to Yue Fan: "Little brother, this ...... The old man just had a little bit of an understanding, and went outside for a walk, for a walk. Hey~~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kou Fei had disappeared into the room.

Ji Lao and Yun Fang looked at Yue Fan inexplicably, and the latter explained: "The senior has just crossed the realm of the Heavenly Dao, and it takes some time to comprehend......

"God... Heavenly Dao Realm!?" The two looked shocked and looked at each other.

In the eyes of ordinary martial arts people, the "sword idiot" Kou Fei has long been known as a Heavenly Dao master, but how could Ji Lao and Yun Fang not know the true meaning of a Heavenly Dao master? That is the difference between quality and quantity! It was because the two of them learned that Kou Fei had stepped into the realm of Heavenly Dao, so they had such surprised expressions.

......

"Grandpa Su, is he okay?"

"Big Brother is in good health, but after he has grandchildren, people have become very lazy, so the matter of Shenji Pavilion is thrown to me these old bones. Hey~~"

"What about Tie Qiang and Tie Nan now?"

"Tie Qiang is hitting it very hard now, and it won't be a problem for him to fight tigers...... As for Tie Nan, I heard that he was going to take Situ Yan home to take a look, after all, he kidnapped other people's daughters, and he couldn't say anything without giving an explanation. However, in my opinion, the best thing is to take Situ Yan's little girl. Haha-"

Knowing that the big guys are doing well, Yue Fan is a lot more comfortable.

After a period of reminiscence, under Ji Lao's instructions, Yun Fang took Xiao Mingyou out of the room, and only Yue Fan and Ji Lao were left in the room.

After a moment of silence, Ji Lao said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Fan, you have stayed here for so many days, it must be just to wait for us, right?" Now that the old man is here, just say anything about it, the old man will definitely help you." ”

"Old Ji, I'm ......" Yue Fan stopped talking, shook his head and sighed bitterly, but he was hesitating whether his decision would involve the Divine Machine Pavilion.

Seeing this, Ji Lao laughed and said, "Xiao Fan, this is not like you! you used to be very autonomous, why are you hesitant now?"

Yue Fan said bitterly: "I'm very scared now, I'm afraid that once I do something wrong, it will affect you." "When it comes to relatives and friends around you, no one can make a decision.

"Xiao Fan, do you remember the brand that Big Brother left for you?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, Ji Lao continued: "Do you know, that brand is the order of the Divine Machine Pavilion, as long as you hold the 'Divine Machine Order', you can let the people of the Divine Machine Pavilion do anything." ”

"Grandpa Su, he ......" Yue Fan was stunned, and at this moment he understood what the meaning of that inconspicuous token represented.

Ji Lao took over and said with a smile: "Xiaofan, don't be burdened, Big Brother, he doesn't want to bind you with responsibility, but trusts you." He just wants to do his best to help you and make you feel at ease to do what you want to do, and he has long regarded you as his own child...... Therefore, Xiao Fan can just tell us if he needs anything, and there is no need to worry. ”

"Grandpa Su, how can you ask me to repay your kindness, how to repay you...... Thank you!" Yue Fan was secretly grateful, took a deep breath and said, "Old Ji, do you also know about things outside the rivers and lakes?"

"What?!!! outside the rivers and lakes" Ji Lao stood up with a "pout", and said with a serious face: "Xiaofan, did you provoke someone?"

As if he wanted to say something, Ji Lao said urgently: "I heard that a few days ago, there was a big incident in Ningxian County, and it was rumored that some fairy flew with a sword. Could it be that this matter has something to do with you?"

As soon as he thought of watching Agarwood being treated by her senior sister, Yue Fan was furious......!

"What?!You said that agarwood is Wan Ya'er!" Ji Lao was very clear about what happened to Yue Fan, and naturally understood what Ya'er meant to Yue Fan.

"If it is really as Xiaofan said, presumably Ya'er and her senior sister should be people outside the rivers and lakes. With Ya'er's importance to Xiaofan, it seems that this can't be good......"

In the blink of an eye, Old Man Ji sighed and said, "Xiaofan, do you want us to help you find out about Ya'er?"

Yue Fan nodded, and said with a resolute expression: "Please help me with Old Ji." ”

“......”

Ji Lao was silent, walking back and forth in the room, his face was extremely solemn.

After a while, Ji Lao took a long breath and said, "Xiaofan, I know your determination...... Alas~~ Even if I help you like this, Big Brother won't blame me!"

"Thank you, Old Ji, thank you!" Yue Fan bowed deeply. He knew in his mind that this matter might involve many people and things, and maybe it would bring unexpected disasters to the Divine Machine Pavilion.

After thinking about it, Ji Lao spoke: "Xiao Fan, I think Big Brother also told you that the original body of our Shenji Pavilion was established in the Qin Dynasty, although it was later divided, there are few secrets in the world that we don't know, and even some secrets of the emperors of the past dynasties can be mastered." However, the world is so big, we are not omniscient, just like beyond the rivers and lakes, it is not within our reach...... Xiaofan, how much do you know about the outside of the rivers and lakes now?"

Yue Fan muttered: "I don't know much, it's all what Senior Kou told me. And he also inadvertently learned about the existence outside the rivers and lakes. He told me that the world outside of the rivers and lakes is called the spiritual world, and they call themselves monks and never interact with the world. Moreover, the cultivators in the cultivation world are very powerful, at least they are also masters of the Heavenly Dao......"

"Yes, Heavenly Dao Master!" Ji Lao said, "This is also the reason why I am worried about you." There are so many masters, how can you fight with them alone? The cultivation world is beyond the imagination of the world, they are not in the red dust, they are above the world. Unless you have strong strength, worldly people like us are nothing more than ants in the eyes of those people. ”

"Mole ants!?We are all ants!?" Yue Fan trembled slightly, his heart was like a raging tide, a little angry, and a little helpless.

"But ......" Seeing the other party's appearance like this, Ji Lao paused and said: "Although I don't know how their strength is divided, I think they are all cultivated from ordinary people, so they are not unsurpassable...... Xiaofan, there are some things that are beyond our control, and we can only do our best. ”

"Thank you, Ji Lao! By the way......" Yue Fan's spirits perked up, and he suddenly said: "Ji Lao, didn't you say that they were far away from the red dust? Then why did Agarwood and his senior sister appear? And they also interfered in the affairs of the Demon Gate, could it be that they also live in the Central Plains?"

"That's exactly what I want to tell you. Ji Lao's face sank like water: "The time in the world is far more complicated than we imagined. Whether it is the world or the rivers and lakes, there are people behind them who secretly control and control the overall situation. And those so-called heroes and tycoons of the world think that they control the situation in the world, but in fact, they are just pawns used by others. It is the emperor who is high above, and in their eyes he is just a puppet. ”

What is that? chess pieces? puppets! The whole world and the rivers and lakes are actually under the control of others! What kind of power is that? What is the point of competing for the world and fighting for hegemony in martial arts? Everything is fake, all fake!

Yue Fan's mind was blank, and his eyes were already blank.

Ji Lao seemed to know a lot, and what he said was far clearer than what Kou Fei said, and of course it was even more shocking! It was like living in a valley since he was a child, thinking that the valley was everything. But suddenly one day, another person came to the valley, and he took himself to the outside world...... How can people accept the illusion of sight, the gap between the heart, and everything unknown?

Ignoring whether the other party could bear it or not, Ji Lao turned around and continued: "Yes, most of the monks are far away from the red dust, such as beyond the East China Sea, the Southern Barbarian Wilderness and other mountainous places, but there is still a group of monks living in the Lingshan Jedi of the Central Plains Shenzhou, and these people are the forces behind the control of the world and the rivers and lakes. Because they are not visible to the world, we call these people 'hermits.'" ”
