Qingling Mountain.
This mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and its depth is unknown. It is rich in products and supports a group of nearby mountain people.
Just entering from the outside, the fog is getting heavier and there is no path. Even experienced hunters who have been in the mountains all year round can easily get lost.
But at this time, the two figures were walking side by side, gradually going deeper, and no matter whether it was the rugged rocks or the dense jungle, it was like walking on flat ground.
Not long after, a valley appeared in front. The ground air was rising, and strands of mist were lingering. Crystal dewdrops formed on the green leaves, reflecting colorful halos in the sunlight.
"Hmm... The earth's energy is rising, and it's like spring all year round. It's a good place. Is that person here?"
One of the men with a goatee, eyebrows like daggers, and hands like chicken feet asked.
He was wearing a navy blue robe, his eyes were cold and sharp, but also vaguely disdainful. He looked around like a tiger, which made a middle-aged man next to him dressed as an official could only smile and wipe the cold sweat on his face: "Exactly... there is a courtyard in this valley, built for my good friend, and my nephew is also there."
"At this time, you still call him your nephew?"
The old man with the goatee sneered and asked.
"Sigh... No matter how you say it, I have been friends with his master for decades. What's more, I feel ashamed of him this time... Sigh..."
The foreigner sighed, his brows even more bitter.
While talking, the two of them had already walked into the valley.
The valley is not big, but it has a sense of warmth, and a clear spring flows slowly through it. The environment is extremely quiet. There is a courtyard built in the middle, which is very exquisite. There is a fence around the outside, and some corn crystal rice and grains are planted there. Full, full of vitality, the growth is very gratifying.
"Hmm... This yard and this land are very nice... Your old friend seems to have a gap in his chest, but it's a pity that he is dead..."
The old man with the goatee shook his head.
"The layman Wen Xin lives in seclusion and does not care about worldly affairs, but he is very accomplished in medical skills and planting methods. It was only by chance that I met him. My nephew is the orphan he adopted..."
The member shook his head and said.
The two stepped forward, crossed the fence, and knocked on the door.
Boom!
The clear voice echoed in the valley, but there was no response.
"Huh? No one?"
The staff members were a little surprised, but the old man with a goatee next to him pushed the door open and walked in unceremoniously: "Humph! Pretending to be a ghost!"
The display inside the monastery is extremely simple. Apart from the necessary daily necessities, there is only a quiet room. Behind the monastery, there is another small door. When opened, a larger flower garden is revealed.
A spring is surging in the middle of the flower garden, with running water and a tinkling sound that contrasts with the colorful flowers around it.
And among a few flowers, a young man raised his head: "So it's Uncle Lin here? Please wait a moment! Wait until I finish planting this camellia!"
He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with big eyes and bright eyes. He could not be said to be very handsome. He looked very ordinary and ordinary. He was wearing coarse clothes. His cuffs were rolled up and his trousers were stained with mud. He looked like a dedicated old farmer.
"Oh, Fang Yuan, you go about your business first, I'm not in a hurry!"
Perhaps he felt guilty, Uncle Lin smiled awkwardly.
Growing tea is very particular, especially the camellia, which likes shade but not heat. Fang Yuan deliberately found a shady spot behind the spring and slowly planted the camellia.
First, he loosened the soil, then watered and fertilized it. The water he used was mountain spring water, which he left for two days. He did not move quickly but was meticulous, giving people a pleasing feeling.
After everything was done, Fang Yuan came to the edge of the clear spring and washed the soil off his hands and feet.
This spring water comes from the underground living eyes. It is extremely cool to the touch without being icy and bone-chilling. It is the best among the best.
After freshening up, Fang Yuan slowly walked into the room and saw the old man with an impatient face.
"Uncle Lin, who is this?"
There was a trace of doubt on his face.
"Ha... let me introduce it to you!"
Lin Yuanwai laughed and said: "This is the outer deacon of Guiling Sect, the cold-faced Mr. Iron Eagle Yu Qiu Lengyu... You know, Lei Yue also just joined this sect..."
"Hello, Mr. Yu!"
Fang Yuan said hello and smiled very honestly.
"Huh! Sure enough, they are just wild people in the mountains. They don't know etiquette. I've been waiting for them for a long time and they didn't even get a cup of tea!"
Yu Qiu snorted coldly. It seemed that if the forest member next to him hadn't pulled him away, he would have taught a lesson to this boy who didn't know how high the sky was.
"I'm sorry, my humble home is so simple and I neglected our distinguished guests..."
In response to this, Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows and replied lukewarmly, then looked at Lin and asked, "Uncle Lin, why are you here this time?"
"this and that… "
Lin Yuanwai hesitated a little, and after a long time, he said with a blushing face: "Lei Yue has joined the Guiling Sect. This is one of the largest sects within a hundred miles, with the Wuzong in charge. The sect leader saw Lei Yue's qualifications, He liked her very much and even accepted her as his direct disciple. However, to practice the martial arts of the sect leader, one must be of pure yin quality, so... your marriage to Lei Yue... "
"snort!"
At this time, Yu Qiuleng said directly: "Miss Leiyue is my lord's disciple. She has extraordinary qualifications. There is no chance that she will be able to reach the realm of Wuzong in the future..."
Although the next step was not spoken, the metaphor of toad and swan meat was still coming out.
"Oh I got it!"
After hearing this, Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, but then said slowly: "Wait a moment, you two!"
Get up directly and go into the back room.
"Huh?"
This gesture surprised Lin Yuanwai.
He asked himself that even when he was young, if he encountered such a thing, he would never be able to remain so calm.
'Could it be that he is secretly angry and wants to destroy the fish to the death? '
Lin Yuwai felt a little chilled, and looked at Yu Qiuleng next to him, but the other party was an old man who gave him a look on the ground, and his meaning was very obvious.
Even if the young man wants to jump over the wall in a hurry, he will definitely not be a match for this cold-faced iron eagle.
"Uncle Lin!"
The door opened with a creak, and Fang Yuan's figure came out, holding a wooden box in his hand: "This is the marriage certificate between me and Miss Lei Yue. Since the engagement, my nephew has thought about it several times and felt that he is not worthy enough." Miss Lei Yue, being able to have Uncle Lin here today really resolves a worry on my mind."
"Um?"
Lin Yuanwai took it in a daze. After opening it, he saw the previous marriage certificate. It was not a fake.
Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly, which made him stunned for a moment.
Yu Qiuleng, on the other hand, stood up and left with a look that said, "You are quite knowledgeable."
"Alas... Nephew Fang Xian, I won't say much else. You and Lei Yue are really destined to have different fates... Please accept this small kindness!"
The forest officer blushed and took out a small package from his arms and handed it over.
"Since it was given by the elders, it would be disrespectful for my nephew to reject it!"
Fang Yuan didn't even look at what was inside and took it directly into his hand.
"Very good! Very good!"
The more calmly he responded, the more embarrassed Lin Yuanwai became. He directly pulled Yu Qiuleng and left quickly.
…
"Well, it's the land deed of the entire valley. It can open up the joints. Isn't Lin Yuanwai quite generous and well-connected to get this?"
After they left, Fang Yuan opened the package and couldn't help but smile when he saw a land deed, a few pieces of gold and silver, and a jade bottle inside.
He naturally knew that the reason why Lin Yuanwai decided to marry Lei Yue in the first place was entirely because Master Wenxin layman saved his life by rejuvenating him, and because of his desire to cling to her.
Now that his backer has fallen, the other party's daughter has climbed onto a high branch again. It is already more restrained to be able to discuss the divorce in a polite manner instead of directly knocking on the door.
I actually don't have much choice.
Accepting the apology is for this reason, otherwise it will be resentment and it will easily lead to trouble.
"If you don't agree, do you still have to shout a few words not to bully young people into poverty, and then have them cut off to the root to avoid future troubles?"
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and murmured.
Fortunately, he is open-minded and optimistic by nature, and he has only met Lin Leiyue a few times. He has no feelings of admiration for her, and he is not very depressed.
As for insults, reputation, etc...
For him, an idler living in seclusion in the mountains, could those pheasants and hares laugh at him and lose face
Therefore, as long as you don't take it seriously, the slander and praise from the outside world will be like a breeze blowing on your face.
Since he is not afraid of losing face, the woman’s compensation is really free of charge.
"Eh? Ruby rice seeds?"
When he counted them one by one and opened the jade bottle, he exclaimed in surprise.
In the jade bottle, there are grains of rice that are as crystal clear as jade, round and huge, and wrapped in red, with a spicy aura that makes people salivate.
This is a spiritual seed, which is very precious. Fang Yuan has been looking for it for a long time, and also asked Lin Yuan for help. This time, he finally sent it to him.
"Well, this red corn belongs to Yang, but it needs to be planted during the Yin period. Let's plant them on the newly opened land tonight..."
Fang Yuan weighed the jade vase with a joyful expression on his face.
… …
Outside the valley.
"well… "
Foreign Minister Lin sighed. Even though he had already made up his mind, he still felt a little regretful when he saw Fang Yuan behave in a moderate manner today, neither humble nor overbearing.
"What? Are you worried about Lin?"
Yu Qiuleng laughed at the side and said: "The marriage certificate has been withdrawn and the apology has been accepted. Even if he makes trouble in the future, he will be responsible for his fault... Of course, if you are still worried, I can also turn around again and get rid of this disaster."
"no no!"
Lin Yuanwai shook his hands wildly: "I just think that this young man Fang Yuan is really nice, what a pity Lei Yue..."
"Humph, if your daughter becomes a martial artist in the future, she will not be free to choose any young talent, so why should she be obsessed with a poor boy from the mountains?"
Yu Qiuleng's expression was joking: "Of course, if you still don't want to give up, you can marry another daughter! Anyway, as long as she is not Miss Leiyue, our sect leader will not care about it."
"Sigh... This matter has already happened, how can I still have the face to mention it..."
Lin Yuanwai sighed and quickened his pace.
The two of them walked farther and farther and disappeared outside the mountains in the blink of an eye.
