On the Importance of Chinese Characters

Because of the speculation in his heart, Fang Qiling looked at Yu Haixin a few extra times, with a thoughtful expression.Zhuang Yunzhou saw it, and lowered his eyebrows lightly: "Brother Qiling, it's time to go."

"Huh? Oh." Fang Qiling recovered and followed.

When the two arrived at Yuluo Terrace, Fang Qiling whistled, and Xue Ying, who had been waiting quietly for his master's call, responded, and soon turned into a bolt of lightning and landed. Fang Qiling went up first, and stretched out his hand towards Zhuang Yunzhou.

Zhuang Yunzhou raised his head and smiled at him, but for some reason, he didn't stretch out his hand to hold it back, but stepped down a bit, jumped up lightly, and landed on the eagle's back by himself.

Fang Qiling was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand indifferently, patted Xueying's back, and let the pet take off: "I'll take you to Nanfang City, there is a spiritual food restaurant there, the taste is very good."

There are four square markets in Baopu Palace, southeast and northwest, and there are all kinds of things in them. Baopu disciples especially like to visit the square markets in their spare time.Especially the food in Baopu Gongfang City, the reputation has already spread outside the palace.Because they hold the space origin technique, distance is not a problem for them. All kinds of special snacks of the spirit race within the five realms, as long as they are delicious, can basically be found here.

Fang Qiling came here a lot in the past few days, and he was particularly free-wheeling.Because the sea of ​​consciousness was broken, he couldn't read his mind, and he didn't even know what was written on the signboard. It was like a blind man ordering generals and eating what he ordered.Sometimes when you meet something that suits your taste, you will be pleasantly surprised when you eat it.But sometimes I happen to encounter the most disgusting smell, and I can't make myself sick.

It's fun to think about it now.It's a pity that the fact that his sea of ​​consciousness was broken again has to be kept from Yunzhou, so these can't be told to him as a joke.

"Really?" Zhuang Yunzhou sat cross-legged at the front with a gentle voice.Fang Qiling couldn't see his expression, and didn't know that his expression changed slightly at the moment, and he was picking up some interesting shop talk.However, when he arrived in Nanfang City, Zhuang Yunzhou had a gentle attitude and couldn't see anything.

Fang Qiling led him to a restaurant.

The building is not too big, shaped like a long strip, and the whole body is painted with dull red paint, which is the same color from the inside to the outside, except for the two pots of tall plants at the door, with clusters of bright white flowers. , and clusters are squeezed next to each other, growing into a full circle.On the door of the building, there is a plaque made of attention stone, recording the name of the shop - 'Funeral Banquet'.

Zhuang Yunzhou paused, and took a look at Fang Qiling. The other party seemed to be unaware of anything and went in. He didn't say anything, and followed in.After entering the room, seeing the waiters all dressed in white, Zhuang Yunzhou felt that something was wrong with this place no matter what he thought.

There are very few customers in the restaurant.Fang Qiling sat down and asked to order, the waiter nodded, and passed the dishes to the back.Fang Qiling smiled and said: "This restaurant has a special personality. Customers can't decide what to eat. There are eight fixed dishes every time. However, the taste is really good."

These dishes were served very quickly. After Zhuang Yunzhou put down his chopsticks, he was also surprised. The taste was indeed very good. It was no worse than Wang Daofeng Yangming's small dining room. few?"

Fang Qiling spread his hands: "I don't know, maybe the decoration is dark and gloomy, so it's not pleasing."

Just as Zhuang Yunzhou was about to nod his head, his eyes inadvertently saw a stone of attention hanging behind the shopkeeper. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, the hand that put down the chopsticks paused. Covering the look in his eyes, he replied softly: "Maybe."

After that, Zhuang Yunzhou remained silent all the way, but he never said much, and Fang Qiling didn't notice anything wrong.

until--

"Fang Qiling!" An enthusiastic call interrupted the communication between the two of them. Zhuang Yunzhou followed the voice and saw three female cultivators standing at the door of a tailor shop behind them, looking at them and laughing.

"Do you know him?" Zhuang Yunzhou turned sideways and asked in a low voice.

Fang Qiling nodded: "It's Senior Sister Bai from the leftover mountain next door."

The two walked over and Fang Qiling introduced them to both of them, and they greeted each other.

"You seem to be in good spirits today." The first tall slender cultivator in red looked carefully at Fang Qiling's face, and nodded in satisfaction, "It seems that the bottle..."

"Senior Sister! I suddenly remembered that there is something I didn't tell you!" Fang Qiling was startled, and quickly raised her voice to interrupt her.Listening to the beginning of her sentence, she felt that it was wrong, but the next sentence was even more frightening to death.In order to cover up his sick face, he has been reduced to the point of powdering, how can he be defeated by a few words?

Fang Qiling didn't care about any men and women who couldn't kiss each other anymore, so he grabbed Bai Luomei's wrist and pulled her aside.

Zhuang Yunzhou watched, smiled softly, and talked to the remaining two: "Brother Qi Ling and Senior Sister Bai seem to be very close?"

"Well, but Junior Brother Fang is not only good with Senior Sister Bai, but also with us." Wang Yuanyuan, who has a round face and round eyes, also laughed, "Master Jingbo's Shouzhuo Peak is on the edge of our mountain, and on the peak We haven’t had a disciple for a long time, and we finally got one. We are all very curious. You also know Junior Brother Fang’s character. He is the only one on Shouzhuo Peak, so he often comes to our peak to play. He is very funny, and the sisters on the mountain are very friendly. Liked that he came."

"It's really Brother Qi Ling's style." Zhuang Yunzhou's beautiful eyes curled up, and he smiled gently, but the little senior sister with a round face and round eyes felt something was wrong for some reason.However, Wang Yuanyuan put the feeling behind such a gentle and gentle junior brother with picturesque features, and chattered a lot of interesting things about Fang Qiling on the leftover mountain under the guidance of Zhuang Yunzhou without leaving a trace.

"...By the way, Senior Sister Bai just said that Junior Brother Fang thinks his face is too white and not masculine enough, so he borrowed facial fat in the morning. It's really interesting."

Fang Qiling had no idea that when he was talking to Senior Sister Bai, Senior Sister Wang over there sold him out.After saying good-bye to Senior Sister Bai, his expression was very relaxed. When he turned his head, he saw Zhuang Yunzhou talking and laughing with the senior sisters with his eyes bent. .”

"I didn't say anything." Zhuang Yunzhou changed the topic easily, and asked about the content of his conversation with Senior Sister Bai, Fang Qiling also slurred it while laughing.

Fang Qiling was afraid that after staying with the senior sisters for a long time, he would change, so after exchanging some pleasantries, he sent the senior sisters away, stretched deliberately, pressed his right shoulder, and turned his shoulders again.

"What? Are you tired?" Seeing him like this, Zhuang Yunzhou asked with concern.

"Maybe I was too tired after retreating for too long a while ago." Fang Qiling didn't dare to stay in Fangshi any longer. This place is simply the territory of the remaining senior sisters on the mountain. If he reveals other things about him, he will be finished. up.

Closed for too long? !Zhuang Yunzhou counted the one, two, three, four, five things that Wang Yuanyuan revealed about Fang Qiling in Remaining Mountain. He didn't comment on what he said, and said with a smile, "Really? Why don't we go back? I haven't seen Brother Qiling for a long time. Brother Qiling is willing." Talk to me by candlelight?"

Holding candles? Night? Talk.

"Stick to what you want, and dare not ask for it." Fang Qiling controlled his rippling little thoughts, and responded with a smile.

Zhuang Yunzhou raised one corner of his mouth: "Very good."

Wangdao Peak? Zhuang Yunzhou Courtyard

Fang Qiling and Zhuang Yunzhou got off Xue Ying and landed in the yard.Fang Qiling whistled, and Xue Ying flapped its wings and flew back to Wangdao Peak.

"Fuyun is really obedient." Zhuang Yunzhou watched the giant eagle fly away and sighed.

Speaking of Fuyun, Fang Qiling was also very satisfied: "Master gave it to me. Xue Ying only recognizes one master in his life, can travel thousands of miles a day, and has very good hearing. I just whistled and flew over."

"Aren't ordinary mounts summoned with spiritual thoughts? Brother Qi Ling is different." Zhuang Yunzhou praised.

Fang Qiling was startled when he heard these words that seemed to have deep meaning, turned to look at Zhuang Yunzhou, and saw that the other party's expression was normal, it seemed that he just said something inadvertently.

"Come in. I've prepared some tea and fruits." Zhuang Yunzhou pushed open the courtyard door and waved to Fang Qiling.

Fang Qiling walked in hesitantly.

This place seems to be a practice room, with a white jade bed inside, a low table and two soft cushions on the bed.Not long after, a waiter opened the door and came in, lightly placing tea, snacks, melons and fruits on the low table, and then two more people came in, holding a basin and two clean white cotton towels, which were soaked in water and covered with water. The waiter offered it with both hands.

Zhuang Yunzhou took it over, wiped his hands and face carefully, and said to Fang Qiling who was frozen there: "It's been a day outside, brother Qiling also went to remove the dust."

Fang Qiling smiled dryly: "No, no need."

Zhuang Yunzhou didn't say a word, he took the wet wipe from the waiter and asked them to leave.The door was closed gently with a slight knocking sound.

The room fell silent, Fang Qiling couldn't help swallowing his saliva seeing the other party's unpredictable expression.

Handing over the wipes, Zhuang Yunzhou said flatly, "Wipe."

Fang Qiling sensed that something was wrong, shook his head, and suddenly turned to stay on the bed: "Yunzhou, I suddenly remembered that Master has ordered something, I have to go, let's talk about it another day."

He went to the door, took the handle, and gave it a tug—it didn't open.

"This is my training room." Zhuang Yunzhou's voice came from behind.

This is locked.

Fang Qiling turned around and smiled dryly: "Haha, what are you doing in Yunzhou?"

Zhuang Yunzhou didn't answer, but approached him instead.Then a slender hand reached out and pinched his chin.

The warm touch of his fingers seemed to freeze Fang Qiling in place. He looked at the handsome face leaning slightly towards him, and his heart beat uncontrollably.Suddenly there was a cool wetness on his face, Fang Qiling was startled, and wanted to wipe his face away, but the hand pinching his chin was firmly fixed by the other party.

A slightly cool towel was used to remove the makeup bit by bit along his eyebrows and eyes, and the pale and thin face without a trace of blood gradually appeared, and the blue color under his eyes was particularly glaring.Zhuang Yunzhou paused for a moment, attached the cotton towel to his extremely red lips at this time, wiped it vigorously, picked up the cotton towel and took a look, there was indeed some red lip balm on it.

"...I'll do it myself." Sighing, Fang Qiling, who knew that he couldn't hide it, took the cotton towel from Zhuang Yunzhou's hand, wiped off the makeup on his face, threw the towel away after removing it, and sat down. Back on the bed, "Is it easy for me to draw this?" I specially searched for a lip balm that is not easy to take off, but it still showed up.

Zhuang Yunzhou looked at his friend who had taken off his clothes and looked very sick, and asked the question to the core: "What's wrong with your sea of ​​consciousness?"

"Do you remember our conversation the night we entered the palace?" Fang Qiling scratched the back of his head, but did not answer directly.

'Master gave me a multiple-choice question, which is very difficult no matter whether I choose the left or the right. '

'I'm afraid the road is too difficult, I can't keep going...'

Zhuang Yunzhou gradually opened his eyes wide: "Master Jing Bo asked you to choose the road..."

Fang Qiling smiled: "My master's cultivation method is only suitable for people whose sea of ​​consciousness is broken. In Yunzhou, although the source mother's energy has stuck to my sea of ​​consciousness, I have stayed at the fifth level of source power for the rest of my life. I still have If the wish is not fulfilled, if you are not willing or willing to give up, just give up."

Zhuang Yunzhou recalled those sentences describing the pain suffered by the spirit race people after the sea of ​​consciousness was broken, and his voice was dry: "I remember...you said you wanted to go outside and have a look."

"Yeah... But, that's not my biggest wish anymore." Fang Qiling smiled.

Zhuang Yunzhou looked over suspiciously, but Fang Qiling didn't intend to continue. Instead, he was curious: "How did you find out? I was very careful this day."
