Chapter 226 [Companions and New Information]
So he buckled the knocker and tapped lightly.
"Who is it?"
A young boy's voice sounded from the door, and Fang Chang recognized that it was the voice of Sang Ziping's young apprentice Mu Anning.
He took a step back and said to the door:
"An old friend is visiting!"
The door opened with a creak, and Mu Anning leaned out to take a look, and said pleasantly:
"Oh, it's Mr. Fang, please come in!"
The young man has grown a lot taller, and he is no longer immature. He is dressed in coarse cloth and holds a broom in his hand—he was sweeping the courtyard just now.
Fang Chang carried the catfish, crossed the threshold and walked into the yard.
At this time, Sang Ziping heard the movement, and also came out of the house. When he saw Fang Chang, he rushed to the bottom of the steps to greet him:
"Mr. Fang, I haven't seen you for many years, but I still look good."
Going up to meet him, Fang Chang threw the catfish aside, returned the gift and smiled:
"The same goes for Mr. Sang. After a farewell on the immortal cliff, his cultivation has improved a lot now."
The two laughed together.
Then Fang Chang pointed to the catfish on the ground:
"I was planning to go west. When I passed by Luming City, I heard the news about Nanping Mountain, so I decided to come here. I didn't prepare any gifts. I caught this big fish at the foot of Nanping Mountain. This can be regarded as a gift from Nanping Mountain. People in Pingshan, don't take offense."
Sang Ziping stretched out his hand in front of him, and while moving Fang Chang into the room, he said with a smile:
"Mr. Fang is very skilled. No one in the village has been able to catch such a big fish for many years. An Ning, put the fish in the kitchen and cook it for lunch."
"Okay." Mu Anning replied neatly.
"Just put it in the kitchen, then boil a pot of water and get the best tea."
Sang Ziping said, and then took Fang Chang into the living room regardless of the little apprentice who left with the fish on his shoulders.
The furnishings in the house are simple, but they all look very old. I don’t know how long they have stayed here as master and apprentice.
The whole village is on a hillside, and the **** of Sang Ziping’s courtyard is particularly obvious, which leads to the uneven height of the houses, which are even much higher than the outer courtyard wall.
This gives the reception room a good view. Sitting at the table, looking out from the open doors and windows, it is very open, and the whole village and the place far below the mountain can be seen in the eyes.
With long-term eyesight, you can even see the farmers busy in the fields more than a dozen miles away, as well as the roads, pedestrians, villages and towns, vegetation in the distance...
Sang Ziping asked Fang Chang: "Why do you go west, sir?"
So Fang Chang shared the information he had obtained before with Sang Ziping, told him about the Sifang training hall around him, and said that he was going to have a look.
After hearing this, Sang Ziping said solemnly:
"Mr. Fang, do you need help? Why don't you stay here for a while, and when my big apprentice returns to the mountain and give him some instructions, I will go with you to the Western Regions. I have traveled to the West before, and I have some knowledge of the geography and scenery there." I understand, maybe it can help a little."
Although he was only going to inquire about the situation, it is good to have several helpers. After all, he has worked with Sang Ziping before, and he knows that the other party is not weak, and he is a cautious and steady person.
Sang Ziping continued:
"I also made friends during this time, and got some news, but I don't know the truth."
"Oh?" Fang Chang said, "Let's talk."
Nodding his head, Sang Ziping said:
"Now the situation has become clear. This catastrophe was planned by a big monster behind, and even established a secret organization, which set off such a monstrous momentum in the world, but before that, everyone didn't know what they were going to do. "
"There are many people with lofty ideals in the world who rose up to resist, and some people contacted each other, or investigated in the open or in secret. Among them were monks, ordinary mortals, and mortal martial artists. The intelligence roughly spelled out a guess."
"What the black hands behind the scenes are fighting for this time is luck."
At this time, Mu Anning came in with a large copper pot and tea set, served tea to the two of them, and placed two plates of snacks and fruits, and then stood aside.
Fang Chang thanked you, and curiously asked Sang Ziping with a teacup:
"Luck?"
"Well, luck." Sang Ziping was not afraid of the heat, and drank the hot tea in the cup:
"Their ultimate goal may be to weaken the luck of the human race, or even try to go against the sky to reverse the luck of the two human races, so as to change the dominant species in the world."
"There may be a demon king behind this matter. They even sent monsters to confuse the Emperor and the people around him. I don't know how they broke through the envelopment of luck and sent people in."
"The reason why the celestial phenomenon is dark and unclear this time is because it is a dispute of luck, and the second is because they are doing things in all directions, with many methods and deep entanglements, so the reaction to the celestial phenomena appears chaotic and clueless."
This conjecture is indeed very likely to be true, and it is also a very reasonable guess that in this catastrophe, the astronomical phenomena and fortune-telling will not be able to see the trend of the world as before.
Fang Chang thought for a while and asked:
"How are they progressing? Is there a chance of success?"
This is a very serious topic, Sang Ziping thought for a while, then shook his head:
"At present, it seems that the general trend is with the human race. Their actions are not very smooth. After all, they are going against the sky. It is normal for everything to happen in vain. The enemy's actions are full of loopholes and loopholes, and they often leak information due to lax secrecy. The methods were vicious and ruthless, which aroused many resistances."
"Similarly, this also led to the fact that most of the human beings cast there were scum in the general sense, and there were not many of them. This made the shortage of monsters more obvious. Often, a prefecture could only send a small number of monsters. But Mr. Fang, the news you brought this time is a bit interesting, I didn't expect them to do this even though they have a training hall."
For a long time, human beings are the primates of all things, after all, they are born with wisdom.
The demon race is suppressed by the human race. It is only a rumor that practitioners can kill demons and eliminate demons. There are several main reasons.
First of all, the number is insufficient. It is very difficult to create a spirited monster, and it is even more difficult to embark on the path of practice. Moreover, there are monsters with cultivation and wisdom, and their descendants are still ordinary beasts.
For example, Hu Feng in Yunzhong Mountain has many descendants, but there is only one Hu Yun Kailing, so he is very lucky.
Moreover, monster cultivation is difficult, with many ups and downs, such as refining the horizontal bone, such as transforming the shape. For monsters, only after being transformed can they reach the same level as human practitioners.
In other words, human beings are already at the end of many monsters' cultivation paths at the beginning of their cultivation path.
The monsters can only follow the human practice route. It is not that there are no monsters who want to get rid of the transformation step and take other cultivation paths, but none of them succeed.
In addition, it is difficult for monsters to inherit, and because they lack sociality, they are not considered civilized, so their level is several ranks lower than humans.
Thank you a12636 for the reward.
