After the waters, the mainland looks into the distance.

This line of water and land is the boundary line between the aristocratic family and Ze country.

The head of the family is Zhongdu.

The aristocratic family has 300 years, and the capital has 300 years.The towering giant city stands on the plain, surrounded by a river, the sky enters the water, and the water is like the sky.

From Zeguo to Zhongdu, traveling all the way west, the original sound flow and Yanzhenci arrived in Zhongdu half a month later, the caravan was still ten miles outside the city, and the leaders of many aristocratic families in the city had already rushed out to welcome them, ten miles occupied the road, and looked up Go, there are people's heads all over the place, and everyone's beard and hair are covered with dew.Apparently, they had been waiting here for an unknown amount of time in order to catch a glimpse of the style of the original sound stream.

The Yuanfu convoy stopped slowly, and the doors were closed tightly.The accompanying old butler appeared in front of the people with a reserved and reserved smile. Before he could speak, there was another commotion under the city gate in front of him. He walked out of the city gate alone and alone!

He was neither accompanied by chariots nor horses, nor was he surrounded by people.His figure is not tall, nor is his face handsome, but when he walked out of the city, all eyes from all directions followed him, and no one dared to approach him within five steps.

Surprised from all around: "Mr. Fang Da is here!"

The old butler's face also changed drastically, he quickly got off his horse, and went forward to meet him: "Why did you come out in person? The young master is about to enter the city to pay a visit to you!"

This Mr. Fang Da in a black robe, with a high forehead and wide mouth, star-like eyes, and a short beard under his chin, whose real name is Fang Hongde, didn't pay attention to the pedestrians beside him, but walked all the way quickly until he reached the front of the Yuanfu convoy. Before they could make a sound, the car door that had been closed in front of everyone just now opened.

The original sound stream appeared from inside the car, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, uncle is always well?"

Before saying a word, Fang Hongde firmly grasped Yuan Yinliu's hands.

The middle-aged man must have looked at the original sound stream that was close at hand, his tiger eyes were reddish, and the water was faintly moving: "Okay, okay, the good boy has grown up! Your mother's spirit in the sky has also died in peace, and your wandering father doesn't need it either!" Don't worry about you anymore."

Fang Hongde appeared in person, and no one dared to stop him.

The Yuanfu convoy entered the city gate smoothly.The people in front of them talked very happily, and the words and pillows followed by the affixes leisurely. Looking left and right, I saw a towering gatehouse in the central capital, with whitewash and green decoration on it; the road is spacious, with golden saddles and jade horses on the left and right.The flow of people is like weaving, and it is very lively.

Just as prosperous as in the impression, it is really like a day for a hundred years.

Word pillow words in my heart with emotion.Not long after, the front suddenly opened up, and a magnificent courtyard opened a gate with four horses riding side by side. There was a majestic and magnificent word "Mingyuan" on it.

When it comes to the vast Youlu, when it comes to Xijing, everyone knows Xilou; when it comes to Zhongdu, everyone knows Mingyuan.The West Building is the place where books are collected in the world, and the Ming Garden is a place where heroes gather.Because of Fang Hongde's generous temperament, he likes to make friends on weekdays, and he loves the weak and the poor, but there are people around who ask for it, and he will always accept it within his ability.Over time, there are clouds of visitors in the garden, and the lights are constantly lit day and night, just in line with the title of "brightness".

After entering the Ming Garden, everyone came to the hall, Fang Hongde sat down without being busy, and first said to the words and pillows who also followed in: "I don't know if this is..."

The original sound flow replied: "This is my master."

Yan Zhenci is riding a pony today, wearing a faded shirt, and carrying a sword cut from a branch on his back. From the beginning to the end, he doesn't look like a tall man at all. He said it was from the original sound Master, in fact, is more like the follower of the original sound stream.He kept smiling, ready to be misunderstood again.

But Fang Hongde was solemn when he heard it, and immediately said: "Taoist, please take a seat!"

Such a normal reaction made Yan Zhenci a little surprised: "It doesn't have to be like this, Yinliu and I are mentors and apprentices, but they are actually more like friends."

Fang Hongde smiled and said, "No matter how congenial you are, you must always respect your teacher."

In this way, the words and pillows are the first, and the other two follow. The banquet starts, and there is nothing else to do during the banquet. Fang Hongde takes good care of Yuanyinliu, and personally pours food and wine with Yuanyinliu, asks carefully, and teaches earnestly, until the dishes change for three rounds At the beginning of the night, when the lanterns came on, the banquet was over just now.

After the banquet was over, Yan Zhenci saw that Fang Hongde still had something to say to Yuan Yinliu, so he took a step ahead and came out with his attendants.

The place where the aristocratic family is located is full of water, and the Ming Garden even includes a river in the city.Yan Zhenci walked on the veranda with the attendant, circled around a few times, did not go to the courtyard where he lived, but walked into the kitchen naturally, came out along the neck of the wine and duck, and mixed into the ceiling of Mingyuan Down.There are about 30 people gathered here, sitting in a circle, surrounded by a middle-aged scribe with two small beards, listening to stories.

When Yan Zhenci sat down with everyone, the middle-aged man coughed and slapped his hand on the table: "As we all know, there are six surnames in the family, Gao, Zhi, Shao, You, Xu, and Nie."

Someone in the crowd shouted: "No, it's obviously Zhi, Shao, You, Xu, Nie, and Jiang!"

The scribe twisted his whiskers and smiled mysteriously: "This is a story. Fifty years ago, there were six surnames in the aristocratic family, one of which was high, and it was the main one. Gein's children with the surname Gao were superb in martial arts and flourished. At the peak of its prosperity, the patriarch served as the chief banquet master of the Luming Banquet for three consecutive times, and controlled the Luming Banquet for a full 50 years."

"But then something terrible happened that shocked the whole family.

"In those years, the aristocratic family suffered from frequent natural disasters, whether it was drought in this county, or floods in that county... The family members of the aristocratic family were worried about the frequent disasters. They didn't want the natural disasters to be man-made disasters, but the Gao surnamed clan in order to control the aristocratic family. The result of fornicating with the devil and feeding the gluttonous mouth of the devil with the flesh and blood of the innocent people of the family!

"This matter was revealed by Mr. Fang Da at the third Luming Banquet where the patriarch of the Gao Clan served as the chief banquet host. This is also the fundamental reason why Mr. Fang Da is Mr. Fang Da today. .”

Who is the devil?

Those who disobey human relations are all demons.

What is the way of magic?

Those who practice the way of disobedience and loss of human relations are all demons!

Yan Zhenci gnawed on the duck neck and drank a small wine, listening with gusto.

At this moment in the hall, Fang Hongde was talking with Yuan Yinliu.

Fang Hongde said: "Since Wu Zhenren passed away, the Yuan Mansion has not appeared at the Luming Banquet for 15 years. Yinliu has something to do when he comes here?"

Yuan Yinliu said with a smile: "Uncle's words are wrong. The Yuan Manor is an outsider, so how can there be anything to do? Now that I come back, one is for the deep kindness of the beauty who is temporarily hiding, and the other is my father's request..."

Fang Hongde was stunned for a moment, and leaned forward involuntarily: "Brother Yuan asked you to come here?"

Yuan Yinliu nodded lightly: "My father sent me a letter, asking me to come to the aristocratic family during the Luming Banquet to visit my uncle. 39 years ago, my uncle asked my father about his martial arts, and my father searched through the original collection of books. I haven't found a solution yet. Although he is traveling around now, he still has this matter in his mind, so he hurriedly sent me over, after all, the result of my father's diagnosis back then was..."

Fang Hongde listened carefully to Yuan Yinliu's words, only to feel that every word and every word was coming from the past.He recalled it for a long time, and sighed in a trance: "Brother Yuan actually still remembers me..."

Yuan Yinliu said with a smile: "Uncle was joking. Uncle and my father are close friends. My father doesn't remember uncle. Who else can he remember? Although I haven't seen uncle for many years, it's all because of my passed away mother. Does he even care about my son?"

"You can't say that about Yinliu." Fang Hongde persuaded, "Brother Yuan is cold and serious by nature, and he was injured by the death of Daoist Wu. I can't bear the fact that the people are gone and the mountains and rivers are still the same. I have just traveled around the world, and I really care about you in my heart. Tianwai will always pay attention to you."

Yuan Yinliu shook his fan and said: "The uncle should also believe that even if my father is in the sky, the love for my uncle can be seen in the sun and the moon."

Fang Hongde couldn't help laughing, and pointed his finger: "You—"

After laughing, the original sound flow returned to the original topic: "My father diagnosed my uncle back then and came to a conclusion."

The smile on Fang Hongde's face had subsided. He sat quietly in his seat, and after a moment of silence, Fang said: "After 40 years, the achievements have faded away, and there is no way to recover."

Yuan Yinliu laughed and said: "However, my nephew came here today and saw my uncle's spirit of dragon and tiger. It can be seen that uncle has had other encounters in so many years. The period of 40 years is not sure."

Fang Hongde also smiled, and he said: "In the blink of an eye, it will be nearly 40 years. 40 years ago, I found Zhenren Yan, Abbot Shangcheng, and I had the audacity to disturb the female crown of Luoxinzhai... Looking back now, it is not very clear. Sigh."

Yuan Yinliu answered: "After 40 years, the real person fell ill and the abbot wandered around, but my uncle found a way to escape. It can be seen that things in this world are changing from time to time. Uncle doesn't need to think too much."

Afterwards, the two chatted a few more words, Yuan Yinliu looked tired, and Fang Hongde didn't want to stay any longer. After sending his attendants to send Yuan Yinliu to the courtyard specially prepared for him, he sat in the hall and meditated quietly.

After a while, he called people over and asked, "Is the head of the Yan Tao resting now?"

The attendant replied: "No, the preacher is listening to the book."

Fang Hongde said: "When the book is finished, please come over to the speaker."

After speaking, he closed his eyes and remained silent.

The night was getting darker, under the canopy, the crowd had dispersed, the words were still unfinished, and they still didn't want to go back to the room. At this time, Fang Hongde sent someone to find him, and he happily went to the appointment.

When he got to the small hall where Fang Hongde was, Yan Zhenci stepped in and met Fang Hongde's shining eyes.

As soon as their eyes met, Fang Hongde smiled slightly.

He stood up from the chair, held a long sword in his hand, and handed it to Yan Zhenci.

Yan Zhenci looked down and saw that the sword was like bronze in color, simple and heavy, ingenious and incompetent, and on the hilt, there was a word "blunt" written in ancient seal script.

I don't know the sword words and pillow words, but looking at the handwriting on the hilt, no matter how familiar it looks, I suddenly muttered in my heart.

Fang Hongde spoke earnestly: "This blunt sword belongs to the Sword Palace. It just fell into my hands by accident. Now, when I see the gatekeepers of the Sword Palace, I will return the pearl to the box and return it to Zhao. Please don't refuse it, the Taoist priest." .”

Yan Zhenci pondered for a moment, did not refuse, and put the sword into his hand: "Mr. Da is very kind, and the Sword Palace and I are both aware of it. We will definitely not disappoint Mr. Da."

After finishing speaking, he left the small hall and walked towards Yuan Yinliu's yard with his sword.

Yuanyinliu's yard is next to Yanzhenci's yard. He climbed over the wall and entered the house, as if entering the wall of his own courtyard. As soon as he landed on the ground, he said to Yuanyinliu: "Good student, your uncle gave me a sword. Ask me to take care of you for the sake of this sword."

The original sound flow closed his eyes: "vulgar."

Words: "Not bad, vulgar."

Original sound stream: "Is Master happy?"

Yan Zhenci said honestly: "I am quite happy to be a teacher. After all, this sword has no front and has power. It is cold but not fierce. It can be regarded as a treasure if it is good."

Yuan Yinliu became a little interested, opened his eyes and glanced at the blunt sword in Yan Zhenci's hand: "It turned out to be this one. The sword of Master Zi Cang, the head of the Sword Palace 150 years ago, is also a famous sword."

Yan Zhenci suddenly realized: "Is it Zi Cang's sword? Why is that word so familiar to me?"

Yuan Yinliu laughed lazily: "Since the master likes this sword, why should he take care of the apprentice more?"

The words are upright and awe-inspiring: "This statement is wrong. How can a dead thing compare with a living person? For the sake of a good disciple, I should take care of this sword a little bit more as a teacher."

Yuanyin Liuxi said: "Master is an extraordinary person."

Yan Zhenci said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's mainly because I've been with my apprentice for a long time."

The two looked at each other, sympathetic to each other.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, all the heroes had arrived, and the Luming Banquet officially arrived.

In the early morning of this day, the alleys in Zhongdu were empty, and friends and companions came to the Eagle and Deer Banquet, looking forward to the opening of the grand event.

But I saw Zhuzi's platform downstairs, and all the scholars gathered on the platform.

Suddenly, three bells rang from heaven and earth, and the princes were ready. The official sang: "Yo Yo Lu Ming, the apple of the wild food. I have a guest, and I play the lute and sheng. The deer Ming Banquet is open today, please invite the host—"

The ten banquet hosts were waiting in the Shizhang Zhuzilou.There was a sound from below, and everyone had already walked down the stairs slowly.I saw painted eaves, auspicious animal ladders, and a group of rare figures appearing on the high platform in front of the crowd.

The four voices all stopped, and only on the high platform, the ceremonial officer sang again: "Government with virtue, such as Beichen. Please Beichen-"

Among the ten hosts of the Luming Banquet, there is one Mr. Beichen who has an overview of the whole situation.

Every Luming Banquet, most of the candidates for Mr. Beichen are different from the previous ones, but they are all selected from among the ten people, and those who are not the most virtuous and respected are not qualified.This year's Lord Beichen is Fang Hongde.

With a dignified face, Fang Hongde followed the voice of the ceremony official forward.

During this period of time, there was no sound in the world.

Everyone at the banquet focused their attention on Fang Hongde, and everyone looked at the famous "Mr. Fang Da" with admiration.

The road is not far away. In the eyes of everyone, Fang Hongde came to the high platform ahead.

There is another one on the high platform, which is a stone platform with a height of half a person and a square shape.The stone platform is black and densely engraved with the attributes of the heavenly stems and earthly branches and the longitude and latitude, just like a compass; there is also a small circular groove in the middle, which seems to be inlaid with objects.

When Fang Hongde was standing in front of the stone platform, among the remaining nine banquet hosts, another middle-aged man with a reserved look came forward with someone.

He is the surname Nie among the six surnames of the aristocratic family. He is a forging family. He was once famous in Youlu.

The current patriarch with the surname Nie is named Nie Jinglun.

Nie Jinglun walked forward all the way, until he reached the stone platform, he stretched out his hand to remove the red silk from the hands of the person behind him.

A compass appeared in front of everyone.

The compass was made by the thousand-year-old immortal god Mizuki. It sinks alien star fragments in the sky. When the sun shines on it, the star fragments explode, emitting thousands of rays of light, and inverting the boundless darkness!

This extraordinary scene attracted the crowd, and among the crowd, someone seemed to take a breath.

Then Nie Jinglun ignored Fang Hongde's outstretched hand, directly put the compass into the inlay, raised his chest and looked around proudly: "This is the compass of the Great Eternity."

The stone platform is placed on the plate, the star dust swims, the big day takes turns, and the light lasts forever!

Fang Hongde didn't care about Nie Jinglun's offense, so he withdrew his hand and signaled the courtesy officer next to him to continue.

The officials of ceremonies sang three times: "The sky is the cover, the earth is the public opinion, the horses are the four seasons, the yin and yang are the emperor, ride the clouds and rise to the sky, and be with the creator. The banquet is open, please come forward——"

Everyone moved with a bang!
