Chapter 2: Return to Guangling
On June 12, Lanling suddenly reminded Pan Long and asked him to get ready to leave the bamboo building tomorrow and go out.
"Where to go?" Pan Long asked, puzzled.
"Go to Guangling. Lan Ling said, "Your family has brought a large group of people to arrange the marriage for you, and now they are less than 100 miles away from Guangling, and they will probably cross the Tongtian River tomorrow." You're going to have to come out tomorrow to greet you. ”
Pan Long suddenly remembered this incident, and couldn't help but feel a little big.
Getting married is a major event in life and cannot be delayed, but taking care of teachers is also a major event, and it cannot be delayed either!
"Well, if only I could do the doppelganger!" he said bitterly.
"Doppelganger? Do you want to learn? I'll teach you. A gust of wind blew, and Lie Yukou appeared next to him and said with great interest.
Lan Lingqing's face suddenly darkened: "Don't make trouble!
"You don't have anything to lose by learning it. Lie Yukou said nonchalantly, "Doppelganger, shift, divination...... These spells can all help to understand the nature of the world and are beneficial in the pursuit of immortality. Even if you can't learn it, it's good to get in touch with it and understand the principle. ”
"If you want to teach, find an apprentice to teach yourself!" Lan Lingqing's face was gloomy, "Whether it is the Confucian mind or the Legalist mind, he does not pursue any 'understanding of the nature of the world', he just needs to strengthen himself!"
"And then like Zhao Sheng, he only knows himself, but he doesn't know anyone?" Lie Yukou smiled narrowly, "His personality has become so extreme, do you dare to say that there is no reason for you?"
Lan Lingqing frowned and said nothing.
Lie Yukou did not stop there, and continued: "Zhao Sheng back then was a cheerful and hearty person. The first time I met him, he led a group of people dancing to celebrate the harvest, and a burly man danced like a bear, and he didn't feel embarrassed or embarrassed at all. ”
"But later, since he worshipped you as a teacher and learned your kung fu, his personality gradually changed. At best, it's domineering, and if it's ugly, it's selfish—you say, 'Those who fight the world must be selfish,' and we admit that you have a point, but what is his final outcome? Brother Lanling, don't you think that you, a teacher, are also responsible for his fate?"
Lan Lingquan lowered his head, didn't say anything, turned around and left.
This immortal, who has always been strong, looks a little depressed at this moment.
Pan Long was a little shocked and asked, "Emperor Jiazi, ...... Are you a student of Mr. Lanling?"
Lie Yukou nodded: "Lanling has taught many students in his life, but among them, there are only a handful of people who can be regarded as his descendants. Zhao Sheng is among them, probably the most attentive and the best learned. It can even be said that if it weren't for the fact that Lanling had already occupied the way of the Legalists, Zhao Sheng would have been able to achieve the Immortal Buddha by sorting out and perfecting the Legalist thoughts. ”
"That'...... Why didn't Mr. Lanling mention it?"
He was embarrassed to say it, or he didn't want to remember. Lie Yukou sighed, "Back then, he was high-spirited, and when he saw people, he boasted that his students were blue. As a result, who knew that Zhao Sheng gradually went to a dead end, and finally refused to accept any treatment, nor did he want to see anyone, and died alone in the Hall of Remembrance...... Zhao Sheng's death hit him hard. After helping Zhao Sheng with the funeral, he resigned from the position of national teacher and wandered around. ”
Later, it wasn't until Bi Niao'er came back that they drank once and had a fight that he resettled down and taught in Guangling City. ”
Lie Yukou looked up at the sky, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "Pan Long, a person's life is very long, but what determines whether this life is happy or unhappy may actually be only a few things for a short time. When you encounter a major event in the future, you must be cautious and cautious! I would say that you would rather take a step back than fight. Taking a step back, it can often be redeemed in the future and fight...... Maybe there's no chance of redemption!"
Pan Long nodded silently, indicating that he would remember his teachings.
His statement is diametrically opposed to the situation in Lanling.
When Lan Lingquan taught Pan Long the mental method of "Rope Laws in the World", he repeatedly emphasized that he had to control everything—even if he couldn't do it, he must have the momentum and determination to move in this direction.
However, Lie Yukou said that at the critical moment, it is better to retreat from [Book Banner qizw.xyz].
It's probably a battle of ideas.
Both of them are immortal cultivators, and their ideas must be reasonable.
It's just that life is in the world, after all, there is no way to have the best of both worlds, and many times, if you choose A, you can't choose B, which is a helpless thing.
It's like...... Pan Long must now make a decision, whether to go to the Tongtian River to pick up people, or stay in the bamboo building to take care of the teacher?
"Of course it's your marriage that matters!" he was still thinking about it, but Bi Lingkong walked out of the bamboo building.
That kind of elixir can indeed be called a good medicine and bitter taste, although the taste and texture are simply heartbreaking, but the effect is indeed good. Bi Lingkong drank the medicine for the third time yesterday, and the situation changed greatly.
According to her own estimates, she will probably be able to cross the most critical line of "serious illness" by drinking medicine again, and she can heal herself.
In other words, at the end of June and the beginning of July, she will no longer need to be taken care of.
"I'm here, with Lie Yukou and Lanling to take care of, there's no risk. If you stay here, you're just running errands—the two of them can do the same thing if they split up as a doppelganger. Bi Lingkong smiled and said, "In comparison, your marriage is more important. I'm still waiting for your child to grow up as soon as possible, teach him the truth, and train the fourth generation of Confucianism for me!"
Pan Long hesitated again and nodded.
After a while, he followed Lie Yukou to the stream that flowed through the bamboo forest outside the bamboo building, and when he crossed the stream, the surrounding scenery changed suddenly, and he saw that the river was rolling, and the sky was high and wide.
Looking back, he was already standing next to the Dongling Pagoda outside Guangling City.
"If you want to come back in the future, you can come to me here. "I don't go out at all, I live in this tower." ”
Pan Long nodded, said goodbye and left, and returned to the Pan Mansion in Guangling City.
I haven't been here for a while, and the situation in Pan Mansion hasn't changed much. The people of Qionghua Pavilion have always been helping him clean regularly, and the porter Lao Zhao has also managed this place in an orderly manner, and everything is fine.
Lao Zhao was very happy to see him come back and reported what had happened in the past time.
In general, everything is peaceful, and the "Rebellion of the Hundred Schools of Thought" has not affected Guangling City, which is located in the east of Yangzhou near the sea, which is still prosperous and quiet.
However, some time ago, there were some businessmen from Yunzhou in the southwest who made trouble in Guangling City, which brought a lot of trouble to Qionghua Pavilion.
Originally, Wu Jixing had a headache about this, but he didn't know what was going on, these people suddenly disappeared all at once, and they didn't know where they went. As a result, a large number of hands and tails were left behind, and the chambers of commerce that cooperated with them and joined forces to suppress Qionghua Pavilion were numb, and for a while, they were full of flaws.
As a result, on the contrary, Qionghua Pavilion took the opportunity to take advantage of it, not to mention making a lot of money, and its power also increased.
Wu Jixing was overjoyed and became more and more puzzled, she came to Pan's Mansion more than once to ask if Pan Long had come back, and wanted to ask him to see if he knew the reason.
Of course Pan Long didn't know.
It was the first time he'd even heard of it.
"Where did those people come from...... Polestar, she didn't find it?"
"The gang leader has been checking for a long time, but he only found that these people are from Yunzhou, and more can't be found. Lao Zhao said, "Master, you also know that the martial arts family sent some people some time ago to open up new trade routes in the southwest. That one has suffered a lot of losses in their hands, and they all have the momentum of closing down. If it weren't for the unwavering support of the gang leader, they might have come back in disgrace. ”
"It's good now, that group of people are gone, and the previous troubles have suddenly turned into opportunities. The branch of the Sansi Chamber of Commerce in Yunzhou developed all of a sudden, annexing several shops, not to mention, and even getting a large piece of land. Now the Mountain Wind Lord and the Cloud Dome Young Master are busy every day, and their mouths are almost grinning to their ears. ”
Pan Long nodded: "When I traveled in Yunzhou a few years ago, I also knew a lot of people. After a while, I'll go to Yunzhou to help you inquire. ”
"The helper said that there is no hurry in this matter, anyway, since those people left in a hurry, they didn't even have time to pack up their things at home, and it is estimated that even if they don't die, they shouldn't come back within three or five years. In contrast, your marriage is more important!"
Pan Long smiled: "That's right, that's why I came back." The Pan family's brigade is about to reach Tongtianjiang, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they will come to Guangling City. I'm going to get their accommodation ready first. ”
"Don't worry, I'm going to find the brothers in the gang and prepare a few good inns for your in-laws!"
"Okay, I'll go talk to them. Ask them if there's anything in particular that they need to explain. You wait for me to come back and then arrange this. ”
"No problem, sir, you are busy first. ”
Pan Long jumped up and rode the wind to the north. Sure enough, it didn't take long to see my parents with many people, riding horses, riding cars, a long dragon, is along the road to the south, not far from the Tongtian River.
He fell to the ground and faced his father, Pan Lei, who was walking in front.
"Father, mother, you guys are slow enough. ”
When Pan Lei saw him coming, he laughed: "Slow? I think we're pretty fast." It's just that your kid is in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law!"
Ren Yue covered his mouth, laughed twice, and said, "Knowing that you are going to get married, my father-in-law is very happy." Not only did he come, but several old people in the clan came. ”
Pan Long could naturally feel that in the carriage behind, it was clearly the breath of his grandfather Pan Shou.
"Grandpa is here too? I'm going to pay a visit. ”
When the grandparents and grandchildren met, Pan Shou smiled very happily and said to several brothers of the same generation next to him: "I said back then that Ah Lei is the most promising in the younger generation of our Pan family. You see, now his son is going to get married!"
The elders who were already a little old nodded again and again, praising the eldest brother for his good vision.
Their age is almost to the age of ear shun, according to the general situation of the Kyushu world, people live to this age, even if there is no disease and no disaster, they are almost at the end of their life.
Although they are people who practice martial arts, they are full of blood and energy, and they can live longer than ordinary people, but they are also old at the moment. Everyone sat together, but Pan Shou, the eldest brother, looked the youngest.
After all, Pan Shou has already stepped into the innate realm, with a longevity of one hundred and twenty years or more, for him, his life is only half over, and he is still in the prime of life.
Pan Long had brought back a lot of life-prolonging elixirs before, and several people in the clan who had already cultivated to the peak of the day after tomorrow had taken them. It's just that like them, the qi and blood have long been depleted, and it is impossible to recover even if they take the elixir. The elixir can really only prolong life.
So after they discussed, they decided to seal the remaining elixir and leave it for the children of the Pan family who will cultivate to the peak of the day after tomorrow in the future.
For a family, a steady stream of innate masters is the guarantee of a strong future prosperity.
As for them, old men...... To be alive and to see the family grow so strong, they were satisfied.
Pan Long naturally didn't know this, and seeing them old like this, he couldn't help but wonder a little, so he asked about those life-prolonging elixirs.
Hearing their explanation, Pan Long smiled and sighed, and took out some elixirs that could prolong his life for more than ten years.
This kind of elixir, he actually has a lot of it. It's just that if there are too many of them, the origin is difficult to explain.
But now that he is a real grandmaster, a figure who travels thousands of miles every day in the wind and clouds, these elixirs are nothing to him.
Seeing that the uncles and grandfathers took the elixir, their spirits recovered a lot, and their old state dissipated a lot, and he smiled with satisfaction.
Then, after inquiring about the situation of the team and agreeing on accommodation, he returned to Guangling City and arranged these things.
That night, he didn't sleep very well.
Was he happy or nervous? He couldn't tell......
