Bafang City.
One city with four directions, all directions can be reached.
"It is said that the distance from here to the imperial city of Chang'an in the north, the coastal city of Luori in the east, the Luoxia Castle in the south, and the Holy Buddha City in the west is exactly the same." Feng Zuojun drove the carriage into the cave. "So it is said that this place can lead to all directions and is a midway station for travelers from all over the world."
"Are we going to Dazefu from here?" Su Baiyi asked.
"No, I guess Senior Sister is here to look for someone." Feng Zuojun looked back and said, "Senior Sister, where are we going next?"
"Butterfly?" Su Baiyi suddenly shouted in surprise, then stretched out a finger and looked at a pure white butterfly landing on his finger. "This butterfly from all directions is really brave. Isn't it afraid of people?"
Feng Zuojun took a look and murmured, "So that's how it is."
"What do you mean?" Su Baiyi was puzzled.
"It's Diefeng." Feng Zuojun said with a smile, "Gently raise your hand and let the butterfly go."
Su Baiyi listened to Feng Zuojun's words and flicked his fingers lightly. The white butterfly flapped its wings a few times and flew up, stopping not far in front of their carriage. Feng Zuojun gently dropped the reins, and the butterfly slowly flew forward. Feng Zuojun led the carriage to follow the butterfly.
Su Baiyi was stunned: "This butterfly is actually leading the way?"
"Yes, this is a butterfly made by Diefeng's group. I don't know what miraculous method they used, but it's very magical, like sorcery." Feng Zuojun replied.
"Diefeng?" Su Baiyi frowned.
"Mr. Confucian said that a seemingly insignificant flap of a butterfly's wings may inadvertently cause many things to happen. The same is true for things in the martial arts world. Some seemingly insignificant news may lead to a bloody catastrophe. That's why the intelligence department of the academy is called Diefeng. It seems that there is a branch of Diefeng in Bafang City, and senior sister came here to find them." Feng Zuojun said.
"I need the latest news about Tianxiao Cloud Realm." Nangong Xier said.
The butterfly finally led everyone to a long and bustling street. The carriage was inconvenient to move, so the four people got off and followed the butterfly through the streets and alleys. Bafang City lived up to its reputation of "one city with four directions, all directions accessible". There were indeed many travelers from all over the world, and there were even aliens with dark blue pupils. Su Baiyi had lived in Xinghua Village since he was a child, and he just felt very novel. He kept staring at the pupils of the alien and sighed: "This person's eyes are like sapphires."
The alien had surprisingly white skin. He was wearing a gray-white robe and standing in the sun. You could almost see the blood vessels beneath his skin. He seemed to notice Su Baiyi's gaze and turned his head slightly to look at everyone.
"What are you curious about? Your eyes can also change." Feng Zuojun turned Su Baiyi's head and hurriedly caught up with the butterfly that was flying faster and faster.
"Don't look around. There are many hidden branches of big gangs in Bafang City." Nangong Xier reminded.
Su Baiyi was pulled forward by Feng Zuojun, and couldn't help but look back again, but the foreigner was no longer there.
After the butterfly led the four people through seven or eight alleys, it finally stopped at the gate of a secluded courtyard, and fell to the ground as if it had run out of strength. Su Baiyi bent over to pick it up, but the butterfly suddenly caught fire and turned into a pile of ashes in just a short while.
"What a wonderful thing." Su Baiyi exclaimed.
"Senior Brother has always been good at tinkering with these things. This guiding butterfly can only be regarded as the most ordinary one among his mechanical gadgets." Nangong Xier said lightly, and then walked to the gate of the courtyard. She stretched out her hand and knocked lightly and heavily three times, knocked lightly twice, and then knocked heavily again, and the door opened by itself.
"What will happen if I knock on the wrong button?" Su Baiyi asked.
"The hand will break." Feng Zuojun raised his eyebrows.
"What if he simply forgot about it?" Su Baiyi asked in surprise, "That's too tragic."
"The hand will not be broken, but the scenery behind the door will be different." A slender young man with long hair stood there, his hands tied behind his back, and said politely, "Luo Qin has been waiting for you all here for a long time. Bafang City is far away from Qiantang City, and it is still rare to see fellow students from the academy. Hello, fellow students."
"Hello, Senior Brother Luo." Nangong Xier clasped her fists and said, "Junior Sister Nangong Xier."
"Hello, Senior Brother Luo." The other three also saluted immediately.
"We have obtained the information that Junior Sister Nangong wanted. Please come in." Luo Qin turned around and walked forward with everyone.
"Is this Luo Qin also a disciple of the academy?" Su Baiyi asked in a low voice.
"I'll give you a name from now on, Su Wenwen. Why do you have so many questions?" Feng Zuojun said impatiently.
"Don't be ashamed to ask questions." Su Baiyi said righteously.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Feng Zuojun sighed, "What will you do without me, your brother?"
Xie Yuling shook his head in the back and whispered, "You are so happy when others say you are not ashamed to ask questions. You really don't realize that you are scolded every time."
Su Baiyi seemed to have heard what Xie Yuling said. He turned his head and raised his eyebrows proudly at Xie Yuling. Feng Zuojun didn't hear it, and still explained to Su Baiyi enthusiastically: "The school palace has a generation of ten years, but all disciples, except for the Confucian sage, are disciples regardless of master and apprentice. So although each generation has its own senior brother, junior brother, etc., the generations are still called brothers and sisters. After many disciples have completed their studies, they have three choices. The first is to go down the mountain and return to the sect. They no longer have actual contact with the school palace, but they are still called disciples of the school palace. The second is to continue to stay in the school palace and be disciples of the school palace for life. They dedicate their lives to the school palace. Some went to Liuyin Pavilion and took on the responsibility of teaching new disciples. Some went to Diefeng to become a member of the Intelligence Department, scattered all over the world to collect information for the school palace, just like this senior brother Luo Qin. Some went to Tianyuanfang. Did you see a large vegetable field before entering the school palace? They grow vegetables there. Others went to Wuxiangyuan, mainly raising chickens and pigs. In short, there are many places to go."
"What about the third option?" Su Baiyi asked curiously.
"The third choice is to become a gentleman!" Feng Zuojun said proudly.
"What does it take to become a gentleman?" Su Baiyi was puzzled.
"You're wrong." Feng Zuojun raised a finger, with an expression of disappointment, "The most important thing about being a gentleman is that you don't need to be forced to do anything. You can do whatever you want, freely, and only need to do one thing in your life."
"What?"
"We call this thing Jun Youyun." Feng Zuojun curled his lips and smiled.
