One hundred and three chapters, stupid people have stupid blessings
Chapter 103: Foolish people are blessed
Hook-billed duck is a specialty shelduck native to Linwu County, Chenzhou. The meat is tender and delicious, especially the native ducks raised in local ponds in the countryside. The blood duck is a dish in the mountains of Hunan, made with glutinous rice and duck blood.
Make small pieces of glutinous rice cake, lightly fry it in oil until the surface is slightly crispy, and then simmer it in a pot with duck meat. The taste is particularly fragrant.
Although Chenzhou is very close to Guangdong, its eating habits are obviously Hunan style. The local specialty is a kind of chili pepper, which is used as seasoning in blood cake duck. After the duck meat is simmered, it is fragrant and spicy. The cool nature of duck can nourish yin and relieve dryness.
, and chili peppers are dehumidified, and the climate here is hot and humid. The traditional flavors of various places are not formed by chance, but are more or less related to the general environmental Feng Shui.
In the middle of winter, he ordered a steaming pot of goose-billed duck with blood cake. Liu Li threw away his chopsticks and ate it with gusto. You Fang secretly thought that the master's mouth was really tricky. He himself didn't eat less, even though it was the first month of the year.
I also sweated on my forehead after eating. I burped to wipe away the sweat and touched my belly. It felt so good!
After finishing the meal, the old man was about to leave. He put down his chopsticks and took a sip of wine and said, "Disciple, do you have anything else to say before I leave?"
You Fang took out the old plate used by Lei Faxuan and handed it over: "You are going to help Taoist Qianbei, so I will give you this plate to help you. I think you like it very much, anyway.
It's for borrowing."
Liu Li was not polite, took the compass and said with a smile: "I am a well-informed old man. I have seen many good compasses, but they are not as good as yours. Of course I like you. Master, I am not greedy for you either."
Just take it for fun and return it to you when the time comes."
You Fang took the opportunity to ask: "Master, I don't know when we will see you again after you leave. How can I find you if I need help?"
Liu Li: "Why are you looking for me? If anything happens, I will look for you."
You Fang: "You can't say that. If I miss you, old man, and I want to honor you when I encounter something delicious and fun, I have to find a way to send a message, right?"
Liu Li smiled and looked very happy: "That makes sense, I'll leave you an address." He asked the waiter to bring a pen and paper, wrote an address, and asked You Fang to burn it after reading it.
You Fang was stunned: "You have always lived in Chongqing, is this your house?"
Liu Li: "What's so strange about this? Do you think that when I'm not traveling around the world, I always sleep in the open air? Let me tell you, that's my hometown. People who are not close to me can't know about it. If you need anything, go there and look for me.
I, if I'm not at home, I'm not allowed to break in."
You Fang nodded: "How dare I break into your empty door? Who knows what ambushes are inside your house? But according to my opinion, you are most likely not at home, so how can I contact you?"
Liu Li: "My traces are wandering. The earth masters in the past are naturally very difficult to find. But recently I have to go around the Fengmen sects and display their signs. It is not difficult to know my whereabouts. If you are in Chongqing
If you can't find me, then go to Qingcheng Mountain Diezhang Sect and ask for news about Jianghu Fengmen, maybe you can get some clues."
You Fang stood up and said, "Disciple, remember, let me see you off."
Liu Li also stood up, and slapped his apprentice on the shoulder. The palm contained internal force but did not hurt anyone. The force was skillfully controlled. It hit You Fang and sat down on the chair without breaking it. He said
: "Don't mention the word "gift". I don't need you to give it to me, old man. Just continue to sit and eat slowly. There is still meat in the pot, so don't waste it. Don't forget to pay the bill. I will leave first."
You Fang was caught off guard and was slapped by the old man. His whole body was sore and numb. He couldn't stand up for a long time. He had to watch Liu Li leave. Looking at Master's back, he suddenly felt that his heart was a little heavy and his nose was a little sore. Master really wanted to
Let him travel around the world, but he feels inexplicable sadness and reluctance.
…
Liu Li is really leaving. During this trip to Chenzhou, he is very satisfied with You Fang's performance. This apprentice is better than the previous eight successors. Now he can at least protect himself when traveling around the world and will not suffer easily.
Moreover, one can learn a lot by analogy. Although he did not praise it too much, he was very happy in his heart.
Since he was seriously injured decades ago, Liu Li has never been able to fully recover his skills at his peak, so his whereabouts are very strange. The trick is to maintain a sense of mystery. Now that he wants to show up and move around, he must first go
I met Taoist Qianbei and paid a visit to the Diezhang Sect. Through the mouth of the Diezhang Sect, I let out the news: The current Earth Master’s power is still there and he has successors.
As for who this successor is? Hey, Liu Li won't say that this is both a protection and a deterrent. The visible deterrent is just one person. How many nails can be driven into the body by iron, but the invisible deterrent is
The old man is already very proficient in the art of charlatanism that is everywhere.
When Qianbei Taoist saw "Melander", he immediately guessed that the other person might be the descendant of a generation of earth masters, so Liu Li went to see him and told him in private that he did not need to publicize it. At the same time, he used Qianbei Taoist's mouth to convey the news to Jianghu Fengmen.
.
…
After dinner, You Fang went straight to the train station, but did not leave Chenzhou immediately. Instead, he bought another travel bag and started browsing the nearby shops selling souvenirs. He saw a lot of local specialty mineral crystals, which were colorful and exquisite. Newly bought.
It was such a big bag, so he planned to search it out, but to his disappointment, he didn't buy even a piece!
Not all mineral crystals have special physical properties and are uniquely helpful for the secrets of Feng Shui. At least in all the souvenir shops around the train station, he did not see anything similar to the swallowtail twin crystals held by the couple.
.It is such a coincidence that when the couple got off the train, they unintentionally bought the only mineral crystal nearby that could be called an array weapon.
Everything in the train station area is expensive, but after negotiating the price, a dovetail double crystal stone only costs ten yuan. If they are all that kind of crystal, you can buy as much as you want!
After coming out of the train station, Fang started to call the information desk, and at the same time found an Internet cafe to check local information online. Throughout the afternoon, he visited almost all the shops selling mineral crystal souvenirs in Chenzhou City, and even the wholesale outlets specializing in specialty products in the suburbs.
We all went there and spent about 300 yuan to buy more than 50 crystal stones, selected from tens of thousands of crystal stones.
It was impossible to choose with ordinary methods. Every time he went to a store, he would scan it with his consciousness, being careful not to touch any breath in the environment. He just sensed the unique physical properties of each crystal and pretended to buy it casually.
Of course he has his own intentions for being so careful. There may be fellow Fengmen who are also picking crystal stones here, and there may be people from the Xiang family in Songhe Valley. You Fang doesn't want to expose his hidden treasure, so he is very careful to get rid of all possibilities after leaving the shop.
's tail.
If he hadn't completely recovered his energy last night, he wouldn't have been able to hold on this afternoon. In terms of the subtle control of his spiritual consciousness, You Fang can be called a first-class master today. This made him very effortless when selecting crystals. Even so, he bought it.
After more than fifty crystals, he was almost exhausted. This was a silent and huge consumption, no less than an endless battle with a master.
The mineral crystals he selected have different physical properties, but the various types of condensed earth energy are very pure and have almost no interference. Moreover, depending on the type of crystal, the effectiveness in the Feng Shui array is also different, so it needs to be carefully
Think about it. The colorless and transparent swallowtail twin crystal stone has pure and clear physical properties. It does not contain any yin, yang, anger, or evil spirits, but it has the characteristics of separating the environment and earth qi. It should be the most widely used.
If you don’t have spiritual sense or spiritual awareness, and just use ordinary people’s eyes to distinguish them, these mineral crystals are without exception of the purest quality: the natural crystal shape is the most standard without any flaws or deflections, and the crystal does not contain any unnecessary impurities.
, no matter what color it is, it is uniform and pure, and there are no cracks or bubbles.
This is not something artificially processed, but formed naturally in the natural environment for hundreds of millions of years. You must be careful when using this kind of thing. If it is accidentally broken or bruised, its special physical properties will be greatly reduced. So when you play
Fang bought it with the packaging, and filled a large travel bag with it, which was heavy in his hand.
There is no way to look for them anymore. On the one hand, he can't just exhaust his energy and put himself in unknown dangers. On the other hand, he has searched for almost all the useful crystal stones in Chenzhou City. Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, they will probably only cost a few pieces.
.The strange thing is that You Fang did not meet any masters from the same profession. He visited almost all the shops selling crystal stones in Chenzhou City and did not meet even an ordinary disciple who had mastered the spiritual sense.
When the sky was getting dark, You Fang was going to find a place to rest for the night and recover at least six or seven points of his strength before leaving. By the North Lake, he suddenly figured out why.
Ordinary disciples who only master spiritual sense, even ordinary masters who have mastered spiritual consciousness, would not be able to select crystal stones in Chenzhou City like him. They would exhaust themselves to death and still cannot find a few pieces. If it is a master like Xiang Zuohu,
, it is impossible to do this kind of "cool work" in person. Wandering around the city just to find these few crystal stones is not enough for the disciples.
Moreover, this kind of crystal may be damaged if you are not careful when using it and the power of the magic circle is over-operated. The physical properties cannot be repaired, so it is also a consumable. Only one of nearly a thousand crystals can be used. After searching the city,
There is no way to look for it a second time for a long time, so it is impossible to buy it in the store for a long time in this way, unless you happen to come across it and buy one or two.
If the Xiang family of Songhe Valley, a large sect that inherits secret arts, wants to obtain enough useful crystals for a long time, the only and best way is to directly contact various mining areas and purchase in large quantities those with the purest quality and the best shapes.
Mineral crystals are the most complete and have no impurities or cracks inside. They are then pulled back in a car and sorted and selected by dedicated personnel in the sect. You can even process them yourself. It may seem like a lot of money, but it is the most economical and effective one.
method.
You Fang's guess is correct. The major sects of secret law inheritance in Jianghu use this method to collect all kinds of useful mineral crystals. No one goes to the shops in the city to try their luck. This is both laborious and thankless. And Song He
Gu Xiang's family has its own business and has contracted several mines. They not only make money by mining, but also send experts to supervise the mining of available mineral crystals and assist their disciples in practicing Feng Shui formations.
No other major secret law inheritance sect has such good conditions as the Xiangjia, so the Songhe Valley Xiangjia is known as the number one in Feng Shui formations. Mineral crystals are not unique to Chenzhou, but at the intersection of the Luoxiao Mountains and the Nanling Mountains,
The output of this type of mineral crystal is the largest and the best quality, significantly exceeding that of other places.
If fellow Jianghu people want this kind of mineral crystal, they often go to Xiangjia to buy it, or exchange it for other useful arcane artifacts. It is too laborious to find it on their own. It is almost impossible for ordinary disciples to do it, and even top masters don't bother to do it. It wasn't like this before.
People try their luck and collect everywhere in the Chenzhou area, but the harvest is very small, which is like asking for trouble. Moreover, as more people come, all the useful crystal stones in the shops in the city have been looted, so no one has done this for several years. Today
However, You Fang was left with a huge advantage.
That is to say, a lone master like You Fang who has no family or sect, but his physical strength is far longer than others, and his spiritual consciousness is also top-notch, so he foolishly found so many usable crystals in Chenzhou City, and used his spiritual consciousness in one afternoon.
Examine tens of thousands of mineral crystals. Even young wanderers sometimes do stupid things, but it is rare for stupid people to be lucky.
Even the Xiang family in Songhe Valley only receives hundreds of such crystals every year, and most of them are accidentally damaged and consumed when the disciples practice Feng Shui formations. The bag you bought contains more than fifty crystals.
The stone only cost more than 300 yuan. If you get it from the major secret law inheritance sects, you can exchange it for a lot of good things, or you can sell it for a lot of money. People who have the ability are never afraid of running out of food!
At this moment, You Fang didn't know the situation, and was still frustrated - he spent an entire afternoon walking around the whole city and was almost exhausted. How could he find such a point? Liu Li knew his apprentice very well and knew that he would wait for him as soon as he left the small town.
What did the wanderer do, but he deliberately didn't explain clearly? The old man was probably secretly having fun in his heart.
There is another thing that makes You Fang frustrated. He picked more than fifty crystals, with many varieties, including swallowtail double crystal clear stone, swallowtail double crystal fragrant stone, crystal wolframite, magnesite, and cubic fluorite.
Jiujiuguiyi gathers cluster crystals, various colors of calcite spar, wheel spar, layered spar, etc., with different physical properties and uses.
But the one with the best quality and the most versatile use is a dovetail double crystal clear stone. Only the other one in the hands of the couple can compare with it. He spent so much effort to find one, but the same one was
If a useless idler buys it, where can I go to reason with it?
After a night of rest and rest by the North Lake, I still realized the ethereal sitting and forgetfulness state taught by Liu Li. The effect of restoring my energy this time was far less than last night. On the one hand, because the consumption of the past few days was too great, in a short time
No one could withstand such repeated tossing. On the other hand, his state of mind was also affected by the environment. He felt so many messy physical properties in his consciousness throughout the afternoon, and he also carried a large bag of mineral crystals with pure physical properties but completely different from each other.
It is difficult to enter an ethereal state of mind when you are around.
It was just getting light in the morning, and You Fang went to the train station carrying a travel bag and a big travel bag. He was finally going back to Guangzhou, and Tu Su, the little girl, was about to start school. Thinking of Tu Su, You Fang couldn't help but show tenderness.
smile, and the mood becomes relaxed and comfortable.
In fact, he has been in a very bad mood these past few days, not to mention being overworked for days and being tainted with evil spirits. He could not be in a good mood when he encountered those things in a place like Hongbin Industrial Park. He felt inexplicable when he was separated from his master in Chenzhou.
Lost, the search for the whole afternoon almost exhausted my spirit again, these three days and nights, I was exhausted both mentally and physically.
Even if You Fang is made of iron, he probably won't be able to recover for a while. Only when he thinks of the cozy little nest where he and Tu Su "live" will he smile unconsciously. He even can't wait to go back and have some snacks.
Although the dinner made by the girl is not as delicious as the blood cake duck, it feels the most comfortable. When she calls her brother You Fang again, it is the most relaxed state of mind and body.
The travel bag in his hand is quite large and heavy. The various crystal stones packed in transparent clinker shells are packed together and are still quite empty. When shaken, it makes a clattering sound. But he is not worried about being discovered by fellow Jianghu, because there are so many physical properties.
Pure but different things were piled together, but they annihilated each other's scattered auras, and even You Fang's own consciousness couldn't clearly distinguish them.
At this time, he was still not very clear. This was not a bag of stones. It was simply a bag full of RMB! If it were all converted into hundred-yuan bills, it would be stuffed full enough to hold. He knew that these things were very big.
They are useful, but they are not regarded as extremely valuable. After all, they only cost more than three hundred yuan to buy.
If an expert in martial arts knew this, he would be so surprised that his jaw would almost drop. One or two Feng Shui secret mineral crystals are not particularly rare and hard to find, but there are so many crystals with different types and uses.
I've never seen him carry it around like this casually in his hand. This kid doesn't treat things as things. Alas, he is worthy of being a descendant of a generation of earth masters, so cool!
At Chenzhou Railway Station, You Fang saw a middle-aged couple with sad faces handing out flyers, looking for their son who had run away from home and was missing. You Fang received a flyer, and the missing person on it was a seventeen-year-old.
A young man from the countryside of Hunan went to Guangdong to work with his fellow villagers, but later disappeared. It is said that he went to do big business with someone. The last time someone saw him was at Chenzhou Railway Station.
The couple's faces were full of weathered looks, and their eyes were full of anxiety and almost blank expectation, which made people unbearable. You Fang had seen this look on Lin Yin's face before, but the situation of the missing boy was obviously different from that of Li Qiuping.
Too similar. Such "cases" happen all the time in the south. Tu Su was almost abducted at Guangzhou Railway Station. Are older boys also abducted?
Was he kidnapped, or entered a pyramid scheme, or joined a criminal organization, or had an accident? These are all possible. The traveler took note of the contents on the flyer. If he happened to meet him while traveling, he would
Please let me know.
At about 10:30 in the morning, You Fang returned to his "home" near Kangyue Park. The security door was unlocked and he pushed it open with his hand. It must be that Tu Su had returned and forgot to lock the door in broad daylight. Maybe it was because of the past few days.
The consumption of his spiritual consciousness was too high, perhaps because the physical interference from a bag of crystal stones was too strong, or perhaps because he was already too familiar with this place. You Fang did not detect any abnormalities with his spiritual consciousness.
As soon as he opened the door, he shouted excitedly: "Little girl, I'm back! How can I forget to lock the door when I'm alone at home? What should I do if bad guys come in?"
But he didn't hear the clear and sweet "Brother You Fang" that he was expecting. As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked out of Tu Su's room. He was wearing a cotton coat that was a little thick in the winter in Guangzhou, and his hair was slightly blond.
He was gray-haired and had a very elegant temperament, but his eyes were scrutinizing. He asked politely: "Are you Mr. Yu Fang?"
You Fang was completely stunned, but only half a second later he came to his senses, nodded quickly and said, "Hello, Uncle Tu!"
