Two hundred and twenty-five chapters, the consolation is too sentimental
Chapter 225, comfort words Jianghu is so sentimental
Zhang Liubing happily told Melander on the phone that senior Li Feng had left a message for him. The matter of greeting Mr. Rand last time was settled, and then sent him another invitation - if Mr. Rand is free, you might as well come
Take a trip to the South China Sea.
Recently, the younger generation of disciples from all Fengmen sects have gathered in Sanya, Hainan. The invitation sent by Xiaosha Sect is also an annual gathering for internal "transactions" among Fengmen sects.
In theory, you can find, process or even buy all the various artifacts needed for secret method practice. Almost all of the "treasures" in You Fang's backpack are collected or made by yourself through various opportunities. Ordinary secret method disciples may
We are not as lucky as him, but we have better conditions than him. We can communicate together and get what we need. Some things are just too difficult to collect on our own.
Every sect in the world holds a gathering of a similar nature almost every year. Whether or not to participate is entirely voluntary, and the location is not completely determined. However, in the past ten years or so, it has been a common convention that the gathering is held at the turn of summer and autumn every year in Sanya City, Hainan.
There is no other reason why we have a gathering of the Xiaosha Party. It is the most suitable place for tourism and leisure.
Xu Jiukui, the founder of the Xiaosha Sect, once served as an official in the Northern Song Dynasty and served as a remonstrance to the officials. He was convicted and exiled to Yazhou due to disagreements with courtier Cai Jing and others. His descendants settled on the Yalong Peninsula on the east side of Yalong Bay and have passed down the tradition for thousands of years to this day.
.
Like Songhe Valley, this place is a place that is equivalent to a paradise. The difference is that Songhe Valley is a Tianyuan Bureau of Fudi Cave surrounded by terrain in the deep mountains. The Yazhou area is remote and is the southernmost tip of Hainan Island. Since ancient times,
It is a place of exile, but the scenery is extremely beautiful, and the earth's energy has its own vitality. There is no need to dig a cave to cover the door and hide it between heaven and earth.
But now the situation has changed. Hainan has experienced two development booms in the past two decades. One was the real estate development boom after Hainan was established as a province in the early 1990s, and the second was the development of tourism province projects in the new century. Sanya has already
It has become a famous tourist and leisure destination, with warm sunshine, gentle sandy beaches, blue water, and various customs among the coconut trees on the beach.
Disciples of the Xiaosha Sect have been fishing since ancient times. They have settled on the Galang Peninsula to form a very special fishing village. It is called Nanhai Fishing Village in the rivers and lakes. This is the fundamental origin of their inheritance. As for the residences of the leaders of the past dynasties,
There is a Taoist temple in a Taoist temple in Daxiaodongtian in Yazhou.
Due to the relatively closed geographical environment, the Xiaosha sect has suffered very little interference from wars for thousands of years. This is very different from that in the Central Plains. Its secret method system is relatively complete and simple, and it has many unique features. Of course,
Also due to these restrictions, it has not had many exchanges with the major Fengmen sects in the Central Plains. Its inheritance is relatively closed, and it has not been considered a very prosperous Fengmen tributary in history.
However, the situation has gradually changed since the reform and opening up. The vicinity of the Xiaosha monastery has become a prime tourist area. They have also started tourism commercial development and recruited and trained disciples to develop business industries. The fishing village is still a fishing village, but a fishing group has just been established.
At first, it specialized in providing seasonal seafood to major hotels in Sanya City, and later opened its own seafood restaurant. Not only that, it also gradually had its own industry in catering, tourism, real estate development, etc.
With the expansion of its foundation and the increase in exchanges with colleagues from various sects, the strength of Xiaosha Sect has also grown stronger, and now it has become one of the major sects in the world. And the current leader Cang Xiao has been in charge of Xiaosha Sect twenty years ago. After the sect, I paid special attention to the exchanges with the major sects in the Central Plains, and sent out invitations every year to invite fellow Jianghu people to come to the Nanhai Fishing Village for a gathering.
In the past ten years, this has become an annual gathering of various sects in Jianghu Fengmen. Most of the people who come to gather are the younger generation of disciples from the major sects. Young people like to have fun. And this kind of gathering has another advantage. Make objects.
Although there is no such saying, a disciple who practices the secret method has to find a disciple who practices the secret method to get married. For example, Xiang Zuohu married the sister of a local official in Jiangxi. Her identity and background have nothing to do with Jianghu Fengmen. But if a man and a woman are together, if They are both practitioners of secret arts, so many things are really convenient. The gathering of young people is naturally an opportunity to attract each other and form a partner.
Two years ago, Shen Shenyi, the head of the Nine Star Sect, brought his only son Shen Sibao to a gathering in the Nanhai fishing village. At that time, he fell in love with Cang Lan, a female disciple of the Xiaosha Sect, but Shen Sibao was unwilling. Sibao was opposed to it in his heart at the time. It was hard to tell him directly, so he deliberately went to the Yalong Bay Scenic Area and hooked up with two girls at a beach stall, hugging each other and drinking wine. Many people in the world saw him and praised him for his young and romantic style.
This made Shen Shen so embarrassed that he gave his son a severe scolding in private, but Si Bao just snickered.
The elders of each sect would occasionally come, and most of them would only chat in the fishing village about secret practice and affairs of each sect, while the younger disciples would go to the nearby areas to play in groups, or go to the mountains and sea in groups, or go together in twos and threes to get along with each other. Of course, the most important thing about this gathering is to discuss all kinds of business, including worldly business cooperation between major sects and the exchange or sale of various arcane artifacts.
Each sect is good at different things and needs different things most. At the same time, the resources they have and the environment they are in are different, and the things they can offer are also different. For example, the Songhe Valley Xiang family, their livelihood in the world is mining, and the production The most important arcane artifact is the crystal. Each faction either goes to Songhe Valley to buy it individually, or they exchange their own items on this occasion or directly spend money to buy it.
And here, what can be exchanged is not just the same thing. It is naturally not embarrassing to bargain with the elders, and they only talk about big business. The trading of arcane artifacts is usually only done between the younger generations, but the amount involved is relatively large. Transactions between large and important items still require the behind-the-scenes approval of the elders in the sect.
The annual Nanhai Fishing Village gathering is scheduled on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, but for half a month before and after, colleagues from various sects will gather here, either to visit the Xiaosha sect, or to have private exchanges with close sects and disciples and travel together.
A total of four young people from the Xunluan sect are going to attend the gathering in the Nanhai fishing village this time. They are all rich, free, and good in cultivation. Everyone knows them - Zhang Liubing, Zhang Liuhua, He Deqing, and Bao Min. What is somewhat surprising is that the acting head, Lu Changlin, is actually going to Nanhai Fishing Village to attend a rally this time.
Why did Mr. Lu change his temper and take the initiative to come to such an occasion to make friends with fellow Jianghu people? Maybe it was because what happened in Guangzhou made him feel very proud. Over the years, he finally gained glory among the various factions of the Feng Sect. Or maybe you just want to go to Hainan for leisure and vacation.
On the other hand, the more important reason is that something seems to be wrong with Zhang Xi, Bao Min and others recently. I wonder what they are planning in private? The two elders who have been at odds for many years actually come and go frequently. Lu Changlin can't tell what is wrong with this.
But I vaguely feel that my position as the leader is under invisible threat.
That's why he deliberately appeared in front of his colleagues in the world as the leader of the Xunluan Sect, making friends and consolidating his status in the world. This was similar to the idea of countries consolidating their domestic status through diplomatic achievements. But he only remembered this now,
I'm afraid it's a little late.
Zhang Liubing told You Fang that disciples from all Fengmen sects were very curious and admired Mr. Rand. Some people had seen his style in Songhe Valley, and many more people had not had the opportunity to see it with their own eyes. If he is free, he might as well go.
When attending a gathering in a fishing village in the South China Sea, the Xiaosha Sect sent out an invitation, but they could not contact Melander himself, so they asked the Xunluan Sect and Songhe Valley to convey the message.
You Fang did meet people from Songhe Valley recently, but under the circumstances at that time, Xiang Xiaoli didn't think of it at all, and Xiang Yinghua herself obviously couldn't attend the party, even if she didn't
He was injured and had never participated in the past few years. However, Zhang Liubing still remembered it. After receiving a call from Mr. Rand, he quickly conveyed the message.
You Fang was planning to go to the beach. After hearing about this, he immediately decided to go to the Xiaosha Pai. I heard that the Xiaosha Pai had its own ocean-going ship, so I could take this opportunity to ask him to help me go into the sea and try to collect it.
Pure Yangshui. He heard in Panjiayuan that a batch of salvaged porcelain had been found near the Zhongsha Islands in the South China Sea. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but since he had this opportunity, he also went to find out what was going on.
At the same time, he had deeper thoughts. Pan Qiaomu and his subordinate gangs had been eradicated, but the whereabouts of An Zuojie, who had sneaked into the country through the Wuchong faction, was definitely missing. This person must be looking for him in the dark. Instead of worrying every day, he might as well take the initiative to take advantage of himself.
Bait, fish this person out, this is how he used to deal with Tang Chaohe.
In the Jianghu, you are not afraid of using old tricks, but only looking for clever differences. It happens that there are young masters from various factions gathered in Sanya. If something happens, you can use the power of Jianghu to bring An Zuojie and other forces lurking in the territory of the Wuchong sect together.
And eradicate it, so that you don’t have to think about it every day. Master Liu Li said in Chongqing that you must have support when you are traveling in the world.
Since he had this plan, he had to be particular about how he showed up on this trip. He absolutely trusted Zhang Liubing and had been "plotting" with Mr. Zhang on the phone for a long time. He wanted to get the news about Senior Rand's participation in the Nanhai Fishing Village gathering.
Let him out as much as possible. He cannot show up directly in a big way, but sneaks into Sanya quietly. With the cooperation of Zhang Liubing and others, he secretly observes for any abnormalities. He will suddenly appear when the party is about to start.
After discussing with Zhang Liubing, You Fang hung up the phone and sat quietly by the North Sea for a long time, his figure like the scenery in the night. When midnight was about to pass, he pulled out Qin Yu and unfolded the scroll with his other hand.
This is the first time he has returned to Beijing since he created this painting. The spiritual hub of earth and air here is exactly the missing link he needs to refine the landscape of the painting. The almost invisible mist fills the North Sea, Qin Yu
On the water, he is also walking slowly in the scroll, with an indescribable graceful grace, and the extremely sharp sword intention seems to have turned into the tenderness of the night.
You Fang's body did not move, but he used his soul to refine the sword. Although his skill could not collect pure Yang water, he could use this method to temper the sword's will and cultivate Qin Yu. At the same time, he had just realized it in Yibin not long before practicing.
The invisible way to carry the environment. The earth's energy and spiritual center in the Beihai area are pure and rich, and the veins are surrounded by water, but they are graceful and invisible. The ancient saying can be used to describe it in four words - superior virtue is like water.
Here you can see the vastness within a small area, but you still need to go to the South China Sea to appreciate the true vastness before you can refine it within a small area.
It wasn't until about five o'clock in the morning that You Fang got up, walked through half of Beijing, had breakfast on the way, and then returned to the hotel where he was staying. In fact, he could leave now, but he was sitting in the room waiting for something.
Sure enough, before eight o'clock, the doorbell rang and Xie Xiaoxian came.
You Fang held her arm and let her into the house, and asked with a smile: "Thank you, you are so busy, and you still take the time to see me."
Xie Xiaoxian glared at him: "You, a person who doesn't work, are living a dull life? Today is Saturday, do you think I should work overtime and shouldn't take a rest during the holidays?"
You Fang patted his forehead: "Sorry, I was a little too confused. I forgot that today is the weekend. It's rare that you don't work overtime."
Xie Xiaoxian: "Have you had breakfast?"
You Fang: "If you haven't eaten, I can have another meal."
Xie Xiaoxian was amused by him: "I have eaten. Before going out, my mother insisted that I finish eating before leaving."
Then the two of them sat by the bed, you looked at me, I looked at you, without saying anything for a while, and the atmosphere became a bit strange. Finally, You Fang coughed lightly and asked, "Where can we eat for lunch?"
Xie Xiaoxian reached out and tapped him: "I know how to eat it!"
As a result, they didn't go anywhere at noon, and didn't even go out. Lunch was ordered in the room, and they stayed there from early morning until dusk... It wasn't until You Fang was about to leave that Xie Xiaoxian helped him pack his backpack.
Xie Xiaoxian told You Fang that Liu Li's task force may be cancelled, because all the clues that should be investigated have been basically completed. Pan Qiaomu and his subordinate gangs have been uncovered, and the remaining work is being completed.
nature. If all these follow-up tasks are completed and there are no new clues, there is no need to retain a special task force. As for An Zuojie, he is wanted nationwide and we will wait until he is caught.
When Xie Xiaoxian said this, he couldn't hide his regret. You Fang advised: "This is also a good thing for you. Didn't you say that after the task force is over, you can be transferred back to Beijing?
If you do, you won't be as busy or tired as before. You were sick when you were in Guangzhou, and almost died when you were in Chongqing. How can you make people feel at ease?"
Xie Xiaoxian lowered his head and said, "Do you really trust me when you return to Beijing?"
You Fang sighed: "At least it's better than before."
Xie Xiaoxian raised his eyes and glanced at him: "I mean, you are not afraid that I will..."
At this point, she hesitated, feeling that it was not appropriate to make this joke, but You Fang asked: "What, just get married? In that case, it is your own choice, can I stop it?"
Xie Xiaoxian looked a little angry and said: "That's not what I meant. Why do women have to rely on men? They can live without men!"
You Fang leaned over and looked at her and asked, "Am I not a man?"
Xie Xiaoxian pinched him: "You are a young wanderer! To me, there are two types of men in the world, one is a young wanderer and the other is not a young wanderer!" You Fang was stunned for a long time, and he thought about the meaning of these words.
for a long time.
Seeing that You Fang was silent, Xie Xiaoxian changed the subject and asked, "Where are you going after leaving Beijing?"
Tourist: "South China Sea."
Xie Xiaoxian thought of something and asked again: "Are you going to check that batch of porcelain from the sea? You have to be careful. The sea is vast and no one can predict what will happen. If it is really related to Liu Li's task force,
Don't forget to notify me, or call the task force directly like in Chongqing." After thinking for a while, he added: "Don't just bring your mobile phone, it's best to prepare a satellite phone as well."
Xie Xiaoxian has always believed that those explosive phone calls in Chongqing were made by You Fang, and You Fang did not deny that what his master did was no different from what he did.
Finally, it was time to leave. Xie Xiaoxian wanted to send You Fang to the airport, but You Fang refused. Wen Yan advised: "Why do we need to have such a farewell scene? It's not like we won't see each other anymore? Besides, too many people saw you and
It’s not good for me to be together.”
Before going out, Xie Xiaoxian said with a cold face: "Yes, I wonder how much identity you still have? Do you want to meet your lover when you go to the South China Sea this time?"
You Fang sighed: "Xiao Xian, I regret it now. I really shouldn't have told you this in the first place!"
Xie Xiaoxian: "But you have already told me, I don't need to mention it, I just want to tell you - be careful!"
You Fang stood in front of the long floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the sea view, with his hands behind his back, holding a small astronomical telescope. Qi Ruoxue was sitting in the living room, with several bottles of wine of different colors in front of her, and she didn't know what kind of drink she was mixing.
, it looks a bit dazzling.
"Finally, it's mixed. I took a sip and it tasted pretty good. This is something I've learned recently. I'm just waiting for you to taste it." Qi Ruoxue mixed two glasses of wine and invited You Fang to come over and taste it.
You Fang came back, put the telescope on the carpet, picked up a glass of wine and said, "I feel sorry for you."
Qi Ruoxue's tone was faint: "What's wrong? I came here because you said it didn't matter... You don't have to say those things you said before."
They agreed to contact each other every month. It was You Fang who said he was in Sanya and had a document in his hand that he wanted to give to Qi Ruoxue. Qi Ruoxue flew over and took two days of personal leave during the weekend.
Obviously it wasn't just for that document. When she arrived in Sanya and met You Fang, she was surprised, because in her opinion, the person who indirectly bought Baiyun Villa through Liu Changli was actually Melander.
When Melander left Baiyun Villa, he once said that he would never forget this place. When he had money in the future, he would buy this villa. Of course she was very happy after hearing this but did not dare to take it seriously. She never expected that her words would come true.
.
You Fang took a sip of the wine: "Well, it's really good. The taste is so special. I have to get used to it! ... I mean, I feel sorry for you to accompany me, an old man."
Qi Ruoxue looked at him and burst into laughter. Judging from You Fang's current appearance, he was not in his early twenties. He had put on makeup and looked like he was in his sixties.
