Two hundred and fifty-three chapters, Misty Rain West Lake
Chapter 253, Misty West Lake
Mastering the secret formation is of no direct use to You Fang. This formation is almost impossible to be built by one person. Xiang Yinghua's secret bracelet was made with the help of three generations of masters. It is not just a crystal.
Due to the cost issue, only in her hands can the Tianji Formation be operated at any time. You Fang neither has this ability nor does he own the Tianji Bracelet.
Even if someone else owns this bracelet, if they don't have enough cultivation or don't understand its formation, they still won't be able to operate the Heaven's Secret Formation. Teaching Yinghua to You Fang obviously has two purposes. On the one hand, the Heaven's Secret Formation can break all illusions.
If the traveler encounters the illusory magic formation of the Wu Chong Sect, at least there will be something to learn from.
On the other hand, more importantly, she hopes that when she and he work together to cast spells, their spiritual thoughts can reach their peak without any flaw. In the past, the two of them had not worked together to cast spells.
In the Villa, in the South China Sea, there was no trace of their cooperation in various secret techniques, but that was mainly for the tourists, and Xiang Yinghua deliberately cooperated with him.
If we encounter a dangerous situation in the future and Xiang Yinghua uses all her strength to use her spiritual power to cast secret techniques, she has a higher level of cultivation than You Fang, so You Fang must fully cooperate with her as the main one. Naturally, she must understand the relationship between Xiang Yinghua and the secret techniques used by Xiang Yinghua.
Only when the two of them join forces can they exert their greatest power. Xiang Yinghua has already planned to accompany You Fang to Hangzhou, not only to find out what happened to the Nine Star Sect, but also to set up an ambush to eradicate An Zuojie.
It is said that An Zuojie is also a master of spiritual consciousness and can operate a real magic array. To deal with him, I am afraid that I need to personally attack Yinghua to be more confident. You Fang continues to act as a cold knife and a cold gun.
More threatening.
Only at this time can they get away from Cang Lan, Niu Jinquan, and Murong Chunming and be alone. These guests are always embarrassed to follow them when they talk about secrets in the forbidden area of the dojo, right? At most other times, Xiang
There is nothing rude about Yinghua. Several young disciples often explain their experiences and experiences together, such as formation transformation, sand elimination in walls, Dingshan earth energy, Feng Shui and other aspects. Everyone has learned a lot.
These ten days seemed to be leisurely, but some people were not idle in private. You Fang used at least three channels to investigate Jingnian, the master of the Jiuxing Sect's Nizhang Hall, and the first thing he found out was a piece of news that made people laugh and cry.
Jingnian runs a tea house, mainly dealing in Longjing, Maojian, Yunwu, etc. in the Hangzhou area. However, the tea house sells all kinds of tea, not only retail but also wholesale, and also does online business. It is said that in major online forums and QQ groups
The people who often sell Tieguanyin here include a group of his assistants.
In addition to the tea business, Jingnian also operates high-end brocades, folding fans, silk umbrellas, and antique porcelain, mainly exporting to Japan. There is a Fujino Co., Ltd. that has maintained a cooperative relationship with him for many years. If we talk about the subordinates of the Wuchongpai
There are branches in Japan among the forces, and Jingnian is the liaison between the Nine Stars Sect and them, so they are likely to use Fujino Co., Ltd. as a cover.
One clue was secretly provided by Xiang Xiaoli. Jingnian had secretly purchased a large amount of crystals from Xiang Tianhua. He was the largest buyer of crystals mined privately by Xiang Tianhua. The annual transaction volume was close to 10 million. Although Jingnian himself could not
Although he had no money, it was somewhat suspicious to spend such a large amount of money to acquire crystal stones, and it was not in the public name of the Nine-Star Sect.
Originally, these transactions were nothing, and there was no need for Songhe Valley to pursue him because of this matter, but An Zuojie had exposed this person, so it was worthy of attention. Xiang Xiaoli and You Fang both suspected that those crystal stones were very likely to fall into the trap.
In the hands of the Wu Chong faction, when they were in danger in Nanzhong, Zhan Modao suddenly used three crystals to run the three-yuan formation, catching the party off guard. It was obvious that he had been prepared and had practiced carefully in secret.
The Xiang family is also engaged in mineral trading, and the business is very large. Naturally, there are many internal connections in all aspects. I deliberately investigated and found out one thing. It is said that Jingnian also cooperated with others in private smuggling of minerals, smuggling countries overseas.
The rare earth mines exported by the Japanese government are only very secretive. Xiang Jia only found rumors but no evidence. If this matter is true, I am afraid that Fujino Co., Ltd. is not only importing tea and silk.
This kind of thing is originally under the control of the national customs, and Songhe Valley doesn't have to personally intervene. Citizens who want to be good can only report a case, but if it involves collusion with the Wuchong faction, they can't just sit back and ignore it.
Another clue was found in the computer data left by Wu Ping. Zhan Modao had business dealings with Jingnian. Jingnian once asked him to purchase craft gifts in Hainan. This was originally a private help from Jianghu colleagues.
, there seems to be nothing suspicious about it, but it is intriguing when you think of the porcelain obtained from the sea that Zhan Modao gave to Yong Wanhua.
Don’t forget that Jingnian also exported anti-Southern Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain, a specialty of Hangzhou, to Japan. Nowadays in the antique business, fakes are used to pass off as genuine, but there is a situation where the opposite is true. When smuggling for export, they are often imitating antiques.
The genuine product is contained in the porcelain and is almost impossible to detect!
But if it is really smuggling porcelain from the sea and leaving the country directly at sea, it is more convenient for fishing boats to hand over on the high seas, why bother to take such a detour? It may be that the tourist guessed wrong or there is another problem.
You Fang entrusted his most trusted Xunluan faction to investigate this clue, and did not let Lu Changlin know about it. He only asked Zhang Xi to secretly investigate one thing through his own private channels, which was the antique craft porcelain exported by Jingnian.
Is there any problem? It is a bit difficult to find this clue, unless an expert opens the box.
Zhang Xi comes from a shipping business. He can try to send people or entrust people to get on the cargo ship, and either open the box and check it or simply steal the things. Zhang Xi said privately that it is not easy. If you give him some time, he will definitely do it.
We will try our best to arrange it.
You Fangren stayed in Songhe Valley and seemed to have nothing to do. They were just having a private meeting with the beautiful woman. However, they had almost done their homework in secret, and then they were ready to leave Jiangxi for Hangzhou. And Cang Lan said that her father Cang Xiao was...
I happened to be going to Hangzhou in the next few days to visit Shen Shenyi, the leader of the Nine-Star Sect. This time the Nine-Star Sect did not send anyone to attend the Nanhai Fishing Village gathering, but Zhan Modao also sent an invitation. He was going to come and explain a few words. She planned to go to Hangzhou to meet with the Nine-Star Sect.
Father joins.
Niu Jinquan still wanted to follow him to Hangzhou to join in the fun, so Cang Lan asked him, "Junior brother, don't you have anything else to do? I remember that before Master Niu left, he told you to go back quickly."
Murong Chunming also said: "Why are you, a junior disciple, joining in the fun of a visit between sect leaders? By the way, is your Taibai Mountain fun? I haven't been there yet. I want to see how you do it this time.
Those who practice the secret method of Dingshan will not be unwelcome, right?"
Murong Chunming not only took Niu Jinquan away, but also went to Taibai Mountain where the Wo Niu Sect's ashram was. Cang Lan left Songhe Valley and went to Hangzhou to join her father, while Xiang Yinghua accompanied You Fang to Hangzhou. , at the same time, Songhegu disciples Wan Shukuang and Xiang Yuhua also went out. They were traveling during the holidays and took different routes.
Cang Xiao went to worship the mountain on the surface, but actually he wanted to make things clear to Shen Shenyi face to face, so there was no need to hide his strength. He took Zhai Leng, the top master in the sect, with him, and he also had seven elite disciples accompanying him. Outsiders It seemed that it was for the sake of courtesy, but Shen Shenyi should know in his heart that the other party was doing it for self-defense.
…
At the beginning of October, during the National Day Golden Week holiday, Hangzhou was crowded with tourists, especially the major scenic spots and tourist spots were almost overcrowded. No matter who comes to Hangzhou during this season, there is nothing surprising. For example, there are three young people People spend most of their time strolling by the West Lake.
They did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, but they did not notify anyone. It was just a private trip. If the scene of the three of them sitting and drinking tea by the West Lake was seen by fellow Jianghu people, they would be surprised and even murmur in their hearts. Mr. Rand is traveling He was actually accompanied by these two beauties.
But no one knew that these three people seemed to be traveling around the mountains and rivers, but they had always maintained a high degree of vigilance, because they knew very well that An Zuojie had probably arrived in Hangzhou, and the forces of the Wuchong faction were secretly paying attention to them. This is just a greeting, You Fang openly told An Zuojie that he was here and expressed his cooperative attitude. At the same time, he said that the Sha Sha Sect had also intervened. The next step depends on what An Zuojie wants to do.
They stayed in a hotel on the north bank of West Lake and booked three rooms. Xiang Yinghua stayed in the middle, You Fang was on the left, and Cang Lan was on the right. Ordinary people visiting the West Lake might visit all of them in one day, but these three people It's obviously different. I play around the lake and in various parts of the lake every day.
It is said that there are ten sceneries in West Lake. In fact, there are more than ten sceneries. There are thousands of wonderful places as you move around. It all depends on how you appreciate them.
They just came to see the "scenery". The changes in the structure of the Xiaosha Sect pay attention to the subtle transfer of earth energy. The Feng Shui formation that Songhe Valley is good at, the high and deep ground is moved by the spirit of the spiritual axis. You It was Fang's first time to come to Hangzhou, and there were many places to visit nearby, but he still followed these two experts on a tour of the West Lake to fully appreciate the scenery of the spiritual hub that can change at every turn, so as to digest the mysteries of the secrets he had recently learned. .
The weather in Hangzhou in October was still very hot. You Fang was wearing a long-sleeved singlet, and Cang Lan and Xiang Yinghua were walking in long skirts. It was a cloudy day. They entered the lake along the Sudi from the direction of Yuemiao early in the morning. Before crossing the Hongqiao Bridge, raindrops began to fall from the sky. The rain came very quickly, and in an instant there was a dense splash of water on the road. Many tourists who did not bring umbrellas went to the small shop next to the bridge to buy umbrellas. Some people He hurriedly looked for a place to take shelter from the rain.
Cang Lan smiled and said: "Appreciating Xizi in the rain is quite interesting."
It was already raining heavily when we walked across the Hongqiao Bridge, and the umbrellas could hardly hold up. There were not many tourists on Su Causeway, and everyone was driven away by the sudden heavy rain. The rain was quite heavy nearby, but The scenery falling in the West Lake is very strange. A hazy shisha smoke rises from the lake, and it looks like a dream from a distance. The three of them walked through the rain without umbrellas.
"Someone is following us." Xiang Yinghua said lightly as he walked side by side with You Fang.
"I hope it won't wash away the misty and rainy atmosphere of the West Lake." You Fang also replied calmly.
Xiang Yinghua smiled: "It depends on your mood."
You Fang: "I don't want to pollute the water of West Lake. Now is not the time nor the place."
Xiang Yinghua suddenly blinked: "When you woke up injured in the Nanhai fishing village, what you wanted to eat when you opened your eyes was lotus root starch. The lotus root starch in West Lake is very famous. It seems that it shouldn't ruin the scenery here."
On the Wangshan Bridge, looking at Xiao Yingzhou and the misty Three Ponds Reflecting the Moon in the misty rain, Cang Lan suddenly turned around and said: "There are people coming from the front, and the rain will not touch me."
You Fang nodded: "This meeting place was chosen really well, without any murderous intent. Let's go and sit in Xijia Pavilion." They walked into Xijia Pavilion, as if they were opening up a curtain of pouring rain.
There was a couple sitting hugging each other in the pavilion, with umbrellas under their feet. When they saw these three men and women, who were as charming and transcendent as gods, they couldn't help but their eyes lit up. Then the woman's face suddenly turned a little pale and she whispered.
He pulled the man's sleeve and insisted on leaving in the rain. The man was reluctant at first and said he would wait until the rain subsided before leaving, but he couldn't resist his girlfriend. As he spoke, he shivered for no reason, then he opened his umbrella and hugged his girlfriend
I walked away in the rain on my shoulders.
On the way, he asked his girlfriend: "What's the matter with you? It's raining so hard and you just have a place to hide. Why do you have to leave? The umbrella can't stop you. Look, these pants are soaked through."
The woman whispered: "Don't you have eyes? Those three people just didn't hold umbrellas at all, but they were not wet at all. They were haunted in broad daylight!"
The man suddenly came to his senses: "Oh, it's true, even the shoes are not wet! No wonder they don't look like ordinary people to me. Could they be Xu Xian, White Snake and Xiao Qing? Let's go back and have a look."
The woman twisted the man's arm and said, "How dare you go back? Be careful if a snake eats you. Who does that person have to do with you?" The man had a cold war for no apparent reason and did not really go back to Xijiating.
We headed towards the Leifeng Pagoda, and from then on there was another modern legend in the West Lake that was hard to distinguish between true and false.
"This is Xijiating. Unfortunately, it rains today and it's morning again." Cang Lan looked at the lake in the distance and sighed softly.
"My heart is full of the evening, and the beautiful lady is here, so it lives up to the name of this pavilion." You Fang gently shook a folding fan he just bought, and also looked at the scenery.
"The rain is just in line with Miss Canglan's secret state of mind. Why should we sigh?" Xiang Yinghua also said, and with the sound of her voice, the sweet sound of the heavenly secret bracelet came from everyone's consciousness, and she was already quietly singing
Movement of spiritual thoughts.
Cang Lan replied: "I am not lamenting this situation, but I am lamenting the Nine Star Sect. Each and every descendant of the sect seems to be a leisurely and elegant person, but unexpectedly, the result of the secret investigation is disappointing."
The Sibaozhai opened by Shen Sibao is located on Yan'an Road not far from the west bank of the West Lake. The headquarters of the Wild Tea House opened by Jingnian is only three stops away from the Sibaozhai. Everyone in the Jiuxing Sect has their own livelihood in the world, and they also sell silk and satin.
There are some Zhuang people, such as Wuzhang Tangtang who advocates Taoism, and some who open painting studios, such as Bi Sizhu, the master of Lizhang Hall, and the master of Shunzhang Hall. A layman in the Qing Dynasty opened a teahouse next to Lingyin Temple, and the drinkers often used calligraphy and painting.
Membership.
They all have business partnerships, and they are businesses that have been passed down from generation to generation. Although it was interrupted in the past few decades, these descendants are still engaged in these businesses, and they all appear to be elegant.
Mo Yiming, the leader of the Guangzhang Hall, lives in Qinhuangdao and is considered a relatively unconventional person. He is engaged in mining business. According to the final result of Xiang Xiaoli’s secret investigation, it is this person who cooperated with Jingnian to smuggle rare earths. What is very strange is that the smuggler
It is more convenient to get rare earths from Qinhuangdao, so why go through such a long detour to Hangzhou through Jingnian’s export business?
Maybe it's because the country has recently tightened its investigation to cover up others' deception, or because Jingnian is the master of Nizhang Hall who supervises the conduct of his disciples, so he wants to share in the crime? This is a question that You Fang hasn't figured out yet.
Liu Si, another master of Jiezhang Hall, lives in the countryside of Fujian and runs a tea plantation. He has contracted hundreds of acres of mountainous land and mainly produces oolong tea and other tea products. He is one of the main suppliers of Jingnian’s Yequ Tea House.
.Further investigation revealed that the guys selling oolong tea online and in QQ groups were actually hired by Bi Sizhu, and they often helped Yequ Tea House.
Sun Fengbo, the leader of the Chuanzhang Hall, was originally in the fruit business in Fujian. He mainly imported fruits from Taiwan and wholesaled them all over the mainland. His younger brother, Sun Fenglang, was also a disciple of the Jiuxing Sect and is currently the deacon of the inner hall. After Sun Fengbo's accident, he was replaced by Jing Nianche
The investigation of Sun Fenglang was said to have found no connection between him and his brother's evil deeds, so there was no unnecessary punishment.
The Nine-Star Sect seems to be loose, but under the common inheritance system, the relationships between these people in the world are quite complicated. They are almost intertwined and confusing, but there is no unified integration. If one person has a problem, these thousands of people will have a problem.
There are too many clues, and no one can guarantee that others are not involved.
While they were talking, the three of them suddenly stopped at the same time and looked up at the path outside the pavilion. Three more figures walked in the rain. They seemed to open the rain curtain when they entered the pavilion. They did not hold umbrellas. The first one had blond hair, blue eyes, a high nose, and dark black hair.
He has eyebrows and a very handsome appearance, but his eyes look a little uncomfortable, but he is wearing a polite smile at this moment, and his whole body is not wet at all.
Behind him were a man and a woman. Their hair and shoulders were wet, and their trousers and shoes were almost completely wet, but their bodies were still dry. It was not easy to walk through the heavy rain to this point.
The blond man walked into the Xijia Pavilion and first saluted with clasped fists in a decent manner: "Mr. Rand is so interested that he made an appointment with me right here and now. The scenery of the West Lake is mesmerizing in the misty rain, and there are two beauties, the Fairy Moon Shadow and the Dragon Girl of the South China Sea, accompanying me. I'm envious.
Ah, I’m envious, An Zuojie is so polite!”
Cang Lan sat motionless and didn't speak, while Xiang Yinghua seemed not to have seen him at all, without even raising his eyelids. You Fang stood up with a smile, cupped his hands in return and said, "Mr. An is really a man of his word. I'll make an appointment."
Just come, who are these two comrades? You might as well introduce them."
An Zuojie pointed to the left side of his body, which looked like a South American mixed-race man with brown skin.
He has always admired his double spears and his shooting skills like a god, and he also said that he must learn from each other whenever there is an opportunity."
You Fang smiled and shook his head: "There's no need to compete. My marksmanship is mediocre, but I never leave anyone alive after shooting, which inevitably hurts the harmony... This beautiful lady, oh no, miss, it's me again.
who?"
The woman behind An Zuojie took the initiative to clasp her fists and salute: "Liu Si, the master of Jiuxing Zhizhang Hall, pays homage to Mr. Rand!"
