very much

In this kind of occasion, you can see the importance of drinking. You Fang welcomes all comers and raises a toast to each toaster. He is very cheerful and generous at a young age and very approachable. As a senior of Fengmen, the first

He made an appearance in front of his colleagues, and the series of preparations before the appearance and the appearance after the appearance left a very good impression on people.

This is due to Sun Fengbo's unintentional "contribution" and Xiang Yinghua's "help", as well as Taoist Qianbei's intentional "promotion". Of course, although the little wanderer is not very old, he is already a veteran in the world.

The scene can be covered.

He already knew what Taoist Qianbei did when he came to Songhe Valley a few days ago. He knew in his heart that this elder should have met Master Liu Li and knew his details. He came here specially to help him, but in front of everyone

, and never had a chance to ask in detail. Xiang Xiaoli was worried that You Fang was recovering from his injury and would not be able to drink too much. In the end, he discouraged many people from toasting. However, more than 30 guests and dozens of core disciples of the Xiang family took turns to toast, and You Fang also really

Drink a lot.

But except for the slight sweat on his forehead, his clear eyes and expression remained unchanged, which is admirable! In fact, You Fang also deliberately controlled it. It is absolutely impossible for him to drink too much in this place, let alone "playing with fire" like last time.

Surprisingly, even if something is said a little bit, it will be a big trouble.

With so many visitors, the Qingxiu House in Songhe Valley was almost full. It was hard for Senior You Fang to live in Xiangjia Village outside the valley, otherwise it would be too rude. Xiang Xiaoli thought about how to arrange it for a long time.

, Xiang Yinghua took the initiative to give up his home.

Don't get me wrong, Xiang Yinghua didn't let You Fang live with her. Her Qingxiu courtyard is in a bamboo forest in Dongshan. Not far to the right is the courtyard where the master of the Songhe Valley Sect lives. It is also where the sect's affairs are handled on weekdays.

Now the Xiong family also lives there. There is also a quiet courtyard closer to the left, which is where Xiang Zuohu practiced when he was young. Later, he became the master of the sect and still practiced secret techniques there.

The whereabouts of Xiang Zuohu are unknown, but no one can say that he is gone. The courtyard has always been kept clean and empty. Xiang Yinghua asked you to stay there, which can be regarded as a very respectful reception.

You Fang refused. At first, Xiang Yinghua thought he was being polite and modest. After a few words of persuasion, he realized that "Melander" had a very firm attitude. She was a little surprised, but she didn't force herself any further. According to You Fang

My own intention is to stay with Taoist Qianbei in the guesthouse at the foot of the Western Mountain.

Ever since You Fang entered Songhe Valley, he couldn't help but think of Xiang Zuohu. He had a ghost in his heart and felt guilty in front of Xiang Yinghua. How could he dare to live in Xiang Zuohu's house again? On the other hand, some things still

Find an opportunity to ask Taoist Qianbei privately.

…

"Taoist Priest, haven't you had enough after drinking all night?" You Fang and Qian Bei were sitting in front of the window talking. With their status and cultivation, they naturally wouldn't worry about anyone eavesdropping.

Qianbei put down the wine gourd in his hand: "This night, everyone gathered around you to toast, and I didn't even drink it. You didn't see me until the end. I didn't pour the wine into the cup, but poured it all into the gourd.

? You are young and handsome, so great!"

You Fang smiled and said, "Why do Taoist priests say that to me? You are not very old yet, you are in your prime, and you are a person of immortal style and noble character. Wherever you go, you can attract all the girls."

Qianbei glared at him: "Have you ever praised a monk like you? Don't choke me!"

You Fang: "I think the Taoist priest drinks and eats meat, so he is probably not a Quanzhen Taoist priest."

Qianbei: "He is also a monk, so he has strict rules. You can't just go to nightclubs casually anyway. Today you declined the kindness of the Xiang family girl and insisted on coming to my place to join in the fun, just to talk about this?... Do you know, Xiang's family's kindness?

Yinghua invited you to live in that place. Are the young men at the banquet looking envious? It's right next to the courtyard where she lives."

You Fang laughed twice: "That's because the Xiang family respects me as a senior, and there is no other place to arrange it, but I don't dare to think too highly of myself, otherwise I will easily offend others...Actually, I want to find someone tonight.

I have an opportunity to ask, sir, after I left, did you meet any senior colleagues in Hongbin Industrial Park?"

This statement was clearly an allusion to Liu Li. Taoist Qianbei laughed twice and said, "You and I know some things very well. If you can, don't mention them. This is the way to be cautious and independent."

You Fang raised his hand and said, "Thank you for your advice, senior brother! Let me put it another way. I just returned from overseas not long ago, and I have heard some things before but I am not very clear about them. Have you ever heard of the contemporary Earth Master Liu Li?"

Qian Bei burst into laughter and said, "I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it. If you ask the people at the table tonight, who doesn't know the name of the Earth Qi Master? All the rumors you learned overseas are true."

You Fang asked again: "I have always had a question I wanted to ask someone for advice. Senior Liu Li is also made of flesh and blood, not three heads and six arms. No matter how high his cultivation level is, how can he have such a prestigious reputation? I saw fellow Fengmen,

Even if this name is mentioned out of ridicule, there is also awe in the words?"

Taoist Qianbei stopped laughing and said solemnly: "It's not just about the person, but about the identity and morality he represents. As for Senior Liu Li himself, he really took action back then. No matter how jealous he was in private, his colleagues in the Jianghu community had nothing to say.

.Do you think no one in the Nine-Star Sect hates you? Even if the leader, Shen Shen, is pure in heart and has no entanglement in his affairs and state of mind, would other people in the Nine-Star Sect think so?

Pindao thinks this is impossible! But you killed Sun Fengbo, and it was natural. In front of all the factions in Jianghu Fengmen, you came upright and received only welcome and respect. The Nine Stars faction could only express their sincerity. This is the reason.

.As for other things in private, you have to be careful.

The earth masters of past generations have been admired by people in the world, but it is not enough if they are not cruel. After Liu Li was injured decades ago, when his skills were no longer at their peak, although he was still powerful in the world, his whereabouts were erratic and strange. Naturally,

He has his own reasons.

When people are in the world, no matter whether they have done something or not, they all have their own assumptions in their hearts about what they will think and do no matter what happens. If it is you, Brother Mei, or me, Qianbei, there is no need to be afraid. But there are always some people who have their own assumptions.

Sun Fengbo, Li Dongping and others, even though they are not Sun Fengbo and Li Dongping yet, and the Earth Master has not come to look for him, they are always like a ray of light on their backs.

This burden is difficult to bear, and only the descendants of Earth Master know the gains and losses involved. Liu Li has endured it for more than sixty years, and the current situation in the world has been turbulent, especially in recent decades, where the changes have been too great, and the world has

It is impossible for Chinese people not to be involved in the torrent of this era. The world is changing and there are always gains to be made without talking about the pros and cons. The only loss lies in keeping the Taoist heart.

Li Dongping, Sun Fengbo and their ilk have been popping up one after another recently, and Jianghu sects also need to be vigilant and self-reflective. Senior Liu Li still has unfinished duties, as long as you understand, I won't say more about it."

Taoist Qianbei said some meaningful words, and finally said: "Brother Rand, I actually admire you. This is the truth and not a compliment. Otherwise, why would I come all the way to Songhe Valley?"

Then he opened the jug and drank silently under the moonlight in front of the window.

You Fang stood up and bowed: "I understand, thank you, Taoist Master!"

Then the two of them stopped talking and seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, Taoist Qianbei suddenly asked: "Let's stop being boring gourds. We have said what we need to say and find something interesting to do. Since you are here

When we arrive at Songhe Valley, of course we have to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony of the Earth Spirit Shuttle the day after tomorrow. It is a rare opportunity to open our eyes. What are we going to do in the past two days? In addition to making friends with colleagues from various sects, we can’t come here in vain.

Just sit in the valley and drink?"

You Fang thought for a while: "I want to see the nearby crystal mines."

Taoist Qianbei laughed happily: "Why, help others dig mines? You are not a miner. Besides, as a senior, you cannot let Xiang's family accompany you to drill into the mine."

You Fang: "I don't want to go into the mine, but I just want to see the mountains and rivers around the mineral crystals, which are special products. I want to see what is unique about the geological atmosphere where the mineral veins are distributed. Maybe I can gain something from it."

Taoist Qianbei nodded: "Well, this is a serious matter. I propose with you that we let them accompany us to have a look tomorrow."

I originally thought that this matter was a bit difficult, and the Xiang family might not be willing to agree. Unexpectedly, when I mentioned it the next morning, several comrades from the Xiong family were also very interested and asked to go out of the valley to see the scenery nearby. Especially a few young people,

They have been in the valley for half a month, and their family is also mining. As practitioners of the secret technique of Feng Shui, they are naturally very interested in geological exploration of various mineral veins.

Comrades from other sects present heard that they were going out of the valley to "tour the mountains and rivers" and were also very interested. A bunch of people wanted to join in the fun. Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Xiang Xiaoli waved his hand and said happily: "Then let's

Let’s organize a tour group today, and I will lead the group as a tour guide and set off!”

At the south end of the village, there is a parking lot on the west side of Songhetang. There are many cars parked in it, most of which are very high-end off-road vehicles. Except for Master Qianbei, none of the experts from various sects walk up the mountain. You Fang saw that he was

A broken motorcycle had been moved from the entrance of the village by the disciples of the Xiang family and placed in a prominent position in the middle of the front row, occupying an entire parking space and making it stand out from the crowd.

Xiong Jushi joked with You Fang: "Mr. Rand, do you still ride a motorcycle?"

You Fang smiled generously and gently: "I borrowed this thing from a policeman in the village. It's really useful in this mountainous area. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for me to get there when it was dark yesterday. Otherwise, I'll ride a motorcycle today."

Are you taking a ride?"

Lu Yueju giggled at the side: "How can I let Mr. Rand take my senior brother on a motorcycle? Senior brother, if you envy the coolness of your senior, just borrow the motorcycle and take me for a ride."

Xiong Dawei shouted from the side: "Don't joke around, get in the car quickly... Jushi, look at which car Yinghua takes, chat with her on the way."

At this time, Xiang Yinghua came over and handed You Fang a bunch of car keys: "Mr. Rand, just drive my car... Elder Qianbei, you and Mr. Rand share a car, okay?"

Qianbei: "Of course it's okay, but neither of us knows the way."

Xiang Yinghua: "It doesn't matter, I'll show you the way." The implication was that she was also riding in the same car.

Xiong Jushi interrupted: "Junior sister Yinghua, how can you let Mr. Rand be the driver?"

Xiang Yinghua rarely drives. This time he went out to the mountains. He was used to taking a car driven by You Fang, so he gave him the car key directly. When Xiong Jushi said this, he immediately apologized: "It's Yinghua who's rude."

Xiong Jushi stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Rand, let me drive."

You Fang asked: "Xiong Jushi, did you drive up the mountain by yourself?"

Xiong Jushi was stunned for a moment and replied honestly: "No."

You Fang asked again: "Is the road over there the same as here?"

Lu Yueju rushed to answer: "No, no, how can it be so dangerous! Besides, my senior brother has a driver and usually doesn't touch the steering wheel."

Xiong Jushi glared at his junior sister helplessly, and You Fang smiled and said: "Then let me drive. This road is not easy to drive, so don't joke around."

Lu Yueju had already taken his senior brother's arm and said, "Then let's get in the car and sit in the back with Uncle Qianbei to watch the scenery. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Rand!"

You Fang drove, Xiang Yinghua sat in the passenger seat, Xiong Jushi and junior sister Lu Yueju sat in the back with Taoist Qianbei. In fact, there was no need to give directions, because everyone seemed to get into seven or eight cars casually, but after setting off

They were arranged in order very consciously.

Xiang Xiaoli's car led the way, and his son Xiang Fenghua drove the car. He and Xiong Dawei sat in the back seat, followed closely by the second car driven by You Fang.

Coming out of the mountain the way we came yesterday, there was naturally a lot of good scenery. Xiang Yinghua occasionally said a few words to explain the scenery along the way, and Xiong Jushi echoed and praised him in a timely manner. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Yueju would take over.

, chattering non-stop, which made Xiong Jushi only smile bitterly.

I left Xiangjia Village and walked around for more than an hour. The mountain road ahead was relatively wide, but very bumpy. From time to time, heavy-duty trucks filled with ore roared past. It seemed that this road led deep into the mountains. It was off-road.

The convoy turned a corner and left the road, continuing on to a simple road up the mountain. At a gentle place near the top of the mountain, there was a protruding slope next to it. The view from here was the best.

Everyone got out of the car, and Xiang Xiaoli stretched out his hand and pointed far below: "There is a large scheelite mine there, which is run by local people. My Xiang family also invested in it. If you want to see the whole ground, it's best to stand here."

Looking forward in the direction of the tour, the terrain is so dangerous! It is a long, narrow and deep valley with steep and unreachable mountains on both sides. It is surrounded by clouds and mist. The road just now leads directly into the canyon and there is no other exit. From time to time, it can be
