Fang Yuan stayed at Jin's house for more than ten days, and every day he just studied and practiced. Although the days were boring, he enjoyed it very much.
Because the Jin family really regarded him as their nephew, they also allowed him to come in and out of places such as the Sutra Pavilion and Shufa Cave. Of course, although there are some secret techniques related to practice in these two places, the supreme divine techniques such as Tiangang Five Thunders are not among them. But this is enough for Fang Yuan. Tianlai City has a rich collection of books and a wide range of topics, which is enough for him to read happily.
Miss Shuang'er and the others did not invite Fang Yuan to the banquet again. Fang Yuan was happy to be quiet. However, Jin Hanxue often came to visit and often cited classics to discuss with Fang Yuan. The two were in harmony, but Fang Yuan always He treated her with the courtesy of a gentleman and never got too close to her, nor did he take the initiative to visit her. Jin Hanxue was a Taoist idiot who seemed to have no idea about the differences between men and women and came over from time to time.
During this period of time, Fang Yuan did not see the old lady come back, and he had no clue about getting the thunder method. He could only wait until he saw the old lady before talking about it. Apart from waiting for the old lady, he could not do anything else. Time, I was also waiting for the white cat to come back, but I didn’t expect that now more than ten days have passed, and I don’t know where the white cat has gone. It has never even shown its face...
Privately, he also considered the various forbidden areas in Tianlai City, and thought that this white cat might be in one of them. However, this old man was extremely talented and had an arrogant temper, so he had no control over its affairs. , we can only ignore it and let it go.
Anyway, when he entered the city, no one saw the white cat following him, so even if he got into trouble, he wouldn't be implicated.
"The old lady is back..."
After waiting like this for more than ten days, a servant finally sent a message, ordering Fang Yuan to go and see him.
Fang Yuan felt a little relieved, then became serious. He packed up his books, changed into a green robe, told Guan Ao not to run around, and rushed to the inner courtyard behind the Jin family's mansion with the waiter. , not long after walking, he saw a woman in a white dress, as cold as snow, standing by the roadside under the flower trees. When she saw Fang Yuan coming, she smiled brightly and hurried forward to greet her.
"Senior Brother Fang Yuan..."
When she arrived in front of Fang Yuan, she knelt down and saluted slightly, much more skillfully than before.
"You want to see the old lady too?"
Fang Yuan saw Jin Hanxue and had no choice but to stop.
Jin Hanxue said: "My ancestor went to Zhongzhou, and I don't know when he came back. He just told us today that according to etiquette, we juniors will naturally go to pay his respects to her. I just heard someone said that you are going too, so Waiting for you here!"
Hearing this, Fang Yuan said, "I have a servant to lead the way, and you are not afraid that I will go to the wrong place, so you don't have to wait for me!"
Jin Hanxue was slightly startled, wondering what Fang Yuan meant, and said, "It's just along the way!"
Fang Yuan had no choice but to rush to the backyard with her, walking through the valley and over the peak, and soon they arrived at the backyard of the mansion. This place was usually a forbidden area that Fang Yuan could not enter without permission, but he had never been there before. Glancing around, you can see that compared to the front yard, this place is less like a deep house and more like a secluded fairyland, with white cranes flying in all directions, strange animals appearing, exotic flowers and plants, and a refreshing fragrance.
In the deep mountains ahead, there is a grand hall, built in the shade of the mountain. It is simple, majestic, and slightly dilapidated.
In front of the main hall, there were already several people waiting. When I looked closely, I saw that it was not someone else. One of them was slim, wearing a yellow skirt, with bright eyes and bright teeth. She was the Miss Shuang'er I had seen before, and the other one was wearing black. He was wearing a robe, his face was pale, and he was looking at himself and Jin Hanxue with evil eyes at this moment, but wasn't it the young master of the Cui family in Zhongzhou
"Oh, Sister Xue, why are you here together?"
When Miss Shuang'er saw him, she smiled and hurried up to meet him. She looked at Fang Yuan with a slightly slanted gaze.
"Senior Brother Fang is not familiar with the backyard, so naturally I should guide him!"
Jin Hanxue just answered briefly and said nothing else.
Cui Yunhai also walked over at this time. He didn't look sideways or at Fang Yuan. He only looked at Jin Hanxue and said, "Hanxue, you're here too!"
Jin Hanxue said "Yeah" and said nothing else.
Cui Yunhai was angry and glared at Fang Yuan fiercely.
Fang Yuan just felt helpless in his heart: "What does it have to do with me?"
Miss Shuang'er looked at the people on the left and right, and suddenly smiled at Fang Yuan and said, "Senior brother Fang Yuan, you hid during the last banquet after we said goodbye. If you don't come out again, we won't have fun. I've always wanted to I'm looking for you and I'm asking you to do me a little favor..."
Fang Yuan frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
Miss Shuang'er blinked and said, "When you are free, can you help me refine a dozen Tao Forbidden Formations for fun?"
Fang Yuan said: "No time!"
Miss Shuang'er was suddenly speechless and angry.
Cui Yunhai sneered: "Brother Fang is quite arrogant..."
Fang Yuan suddenly looked at him and said, "Did you break through the forbidden formation last time?"
Cui Yunhai suddenly turned red and felt secretly angry.
Fang Yuan said: "If it's not broken, just give it to her again. It should still be usable!"
Cui Yunhai gave a heavy "hum", took out the jade slip from his sleeve, and handed it to Miss Shuang'er.
Jin Hanxue turned to look at him and said, "You really didn't break it!"
Cui Yunhai: "..."
The four people stood together. The relationship was really complicated. No one liked it, but they seemed to be angry. No one wanted to leave. They just stood there together. The atmosphere was so stiff. I don’t know how long it took, but fortunately not long after, I heard the ancient palace creak, and the door slowly opened, and a serving female officer wearing a green robe walked out.
"Aunt Chen, has our ancestor gotten up?"
Miss Shuang'er was the first to run over, took the female official's arm, and said, "I'm waiting to pay my respects to her!"
"My ancestor just got up and is waiting to see you!"
The female officer smiled, looked at the juniors outside, but did not bring Miss Shuang'er in. Instead, she glanced slightly at their faces, and then said: "I don't know which one Are you the descendant of Master Taihua?"
Fang Yuan took a step forward: "That's the junior!"
The female officer smiled and said: "Come in with me first, the old lady is waiting for you!"
He said to the others: "Just wait a moment!"
Miss Shuang'er was stunned for a moment, and even Jin Hanxue was a little surprised.
Cui Yunhai felt helpless: "Here we go again..."
Fang Yuan also didn't expect that Mrs. Jin didn't even see her granddaughters, so she summoned him first, nodded, and slowly followed the female official into the ancient palace. He saw that the ancient palace was extremely spacious and cold. The light from outside couldn't come in, making it seem a bit dim. Only two rows of candles as thick as arms were lit on both sides of the hall, illuminating the shadows of various decorations in the hall, twisting and shaking.
He walked all the way into the hall and saw a skinny old woman sitting on a high platform at the end of the hall. The old woman had wrinkles like chicken skin, wore a gorgeous and exquisite fairy robe, and was holding a hand. A walking stick with a dragon head, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was recuperating, and she looked like she was about to run out of gas. It was hard to imagine that she was the true master of Tianlai City today...
The ancestor of the Jin family, Mrs. Jin, holds a powerful position that is enough to sit on equal terms with the elders of the major immortal sects in Zhongzhou.
"Fang Yuan, a disciple of Master Taihua, met Old Mrs. Jin..."
Fang Yuan followed the etiquette, took a step forward, and saluted the old woman on the Taishi chair.
"oh… "
The old lady on the seat seemed to wake up, opened her eyes, looked around, then landed on Fang Yuan, opened her mouth and smiled, and said: "Come? Come on, come on, kid, Take two steps forward and let me take a closer look at you..."
"You are a dignified Yuan Ying overhaul, why are you pretending to be dim-sighted..."
Fang Yuan thought to himself, but he could only take two steps forward and raised his head.
"As expected, he is a good-tempered boy, and he is also handsome..."
The old lady looked at Fang Yuan, smiled and praised the female officer next to her, then looked at Fang Yuan again, and said: "My child, I heard from Lao Qi that you were taught by Taihua, and you are the foundation of the way of heaven." , have you started practicing Tiangang Five Thunder Guides now?"
Fang Yuan nodded and said: "Exactly!"
The old lady smiled again and asked pleasantly: "What state have you reached in your cultivation?"
Fang Yuan answered honestly: "I have cultivated three thunder spirits!"
"Three ways?"
The old lady was slightly startled and looked at Fang Yuan calmly.
She didn't seem to expect that Fang Yuan had only cultivated three thunder spirits, but after a closer look, she saw that what he said was not a lie.
After just a pause, she laughed again: "What's wrong with you on Lei Fa?"
Fang Yuan had thought about what should and shouldn't be said countless times before. When she asked, he followed what he had thought before and answered honestly: "I have been practicing well all the way. This Thunder Method It’s not that there’s anything I don’t understand, but it’s that my master Taihua has some things that he can’t figure out, especially the method of forming pills in the last volume, which seems to have some flaws!”
"Haha, he is a child who can talk..."
After hearing this, the old lady didn't understand anything, so she laughed directly. She was as kind and kind as ever, but Fang Yuan felt a little cold. He just heard her say: "Why do you say it so tactfully? With Taihua's He is so smart that he should understand everything, haha, to be honest, I have been waiting for him to come back for more than two hundred years, but I didn't expect that I couldn't wait for him, but I waited for you!"
There seemed to be a deep meaning in these words, so Fang Yuan remained silent.
He didn't know what happened to Master Taihua when he came to Tianlai City to seek Dharma.
But one thing is understandable. Master Taihua really thought everything through before he passed away.
But he also once said that he didn't want to be controlled by others, so he would rather sit down and never come back!
And now after listening to the words of this old lady Jin, you can understand that the problem of Master Taihua has always been under the control of this old lady. She even believed that Master Taihua would come back on his own initiative, but she didn't expect that Master Taihua would come back on his own initiative. He would rather sit among the dry mountains!
After a moment of silence, he decided to speak out, raised his head and looked at Mrs. Jin, and said seriously: "Before my master passed away, he only gave one word of instruction. He said that he came to seek Dharma, and his heart was very sincere. Heaven came to the city. He also agreed to pass on the true method to him, but there were still some problems, and then he ordered me to come with his will. He just wanted to get the last volume of thunder method and fulfill his last wish!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Jin chuckled and said, "Okay, this last volume of Thunder Technique is supposed to be given to you!"
Fang Yuan was slightly startled: "I believe you are the only one who has ghosts..."
Then he listened to Mrs. Jin say: "If you want to learn the thunder method, you should first become a member of my Jin family!"
Without waiting for Fang Yuan to ask in detail, she added: "Girl Shuang'er, you've seen it before, right? That will be an advantage for you!"
Fang Yuan suddenly understood in his heart, his heart sank slightly, and he didn't feel like he was taking advantage at all...
Come on, come on, single old man, whoever votes will get the advantage...
