Chapter 140 The wind folds the high forest tree and shoots the bird with a gun
"You won't be so comfortable in a few days."
Seeing Duobao jumping into the yard with a fish in his mouth, Su Xiaofan took it from its mouth. The fish weighed forty to fifty catties, much heavier than Duobao.
Turning on the electric grill with ease, Su Xiaofan started grilling fish in the yard, living in a villa is convenient, no matter how you do it, it won't affect other people's homes.
Su Xiaofan didn't ask his aunt to cook, and his need for food is getting smaller and smaller now, because the food is not enough to supplement the consumption of Su Xiaofan's body.
Now Su Xiaofan grills fish or stews a big goose in Jinghu Lake, purely to satisfy his appetite, and Duobao is the same.
A fish weighing forty to fifty catties was cut into four or five pieces, Su Xiaofan ate one piece, and Duobao ate the rest.
After eating and drinking enough, lying on the reclining chair in the yard, looking at the clear blue sky in autumn, Su Xiaofan felt very peaceful in his heart.
There is no need to run around for life, and people's desires are suddenly reduced a lot.
Of course, there are gains and losses. Su Xiaofan has embarked on the road of cultivation, and he wants to go further on this road.
While enjoying the refreshing feeling of the autumn wind blowing on his body, Su Xiaofan's cell phone rang suddenly.
"Xiao Xiao, what's the matter?"
Looking lazily at the caller ID, Su Xiaofan picked up the phone.
"I can't call you if I have nothing to do?"
Whether the siblings meet or call, they always have to fight.
"Yes, as long as you have time, it's fine to type for a day."
Su Xiaofan said: "Brother just finished eating grilled fish and is lying on the rocking chair digesting food, it will be fine, I will chat with you for a few dollars."
"Damn it, you're eating delicious food again!"
Through the phone, Su Xiaofan seemed to be able to see his sister baring her teeth and claws.
"Okay, what's the matter? I sent you the money."
On the day he left Yanjing, Su Xiaofan transferred 500,000 yuan to his sister, and there was still more than 20 million yuan left in his own account.
"I received the money, brother, if you have money, save some money."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's not me looking for you, it's sister Zixuan looking for you!"
"Huh? Mo Zixuan looking for me?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, since he entered the society, this was the first time he had a girl looking for him.
"Brother Xiaofan..."
"Don't, call me Su Xiaofan!"
As soon as Mo Zixuan called him brother, Su Xiaofan's goosebumps would rise all over his body.
He didn't know how Mo Zixuan, who seemed to be quite difficult to get along with, had such a thick skin after getting acquainted with her.
"Didn't you say name and identity?" Mo Zixuan's voice came over.
"Then you can call me Xiaofan, Brother Biga, maybe you are older than me."
Su Xiaofan said sternly: "I was born in August, you must be older than me, I will call you sister from now on!"
Growing up, Su Xiaofan felt that he should be a younger brother, and it would be great if he had a sister, so that he could just lie down and call his sister to do it.
"Sorry, I'm in November, you're still older than me!"
Mo Zixuan didn't know why, since she was half-dead by Su Xiaofan a few days ago, she immediately let go in front of him.
Mo Zixuan doesn't have many friends, and she rarely interacts with her classmates when she was in school.
Before graduating, she entered the relevant department to work, surrounded by people much older than her, and almost no friends of the same age.
Mo Zixuan, who was labeled as a good girl and a school bully since she was a child, has always acted according to the rules, but since she met Su Xiaofan, she felt that her nature seemed to be released.
"Cheng, Cheng, I'm older than you, little sister Zixuan, what do you want from me?"
Su Xiaofan said with a headache: "Don't mention the special recruiting class anymore, I have hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, but I don't have time to become the king of children with you."
"Bah, scumbag!" The voice from the other side of the phone made Su Xiaofan's face turn pale.
"Hey, why am I a scumbag? I... I haven't been a scumbag before."
Su Xiaofan felt that he was wronged, but he has always been a pure and innocent boy.
"For the country, how can you raise money? If you raise money, you are a scumbag."
I don't know why, but when Su Xiaofan said that he was not a scumbag, Mo Zixuan's face immediately turned red.
"The inheritance is different, so my teacher can't join the world."
Su Xiaofan said speechlessly: "And I can't be restrained. As long as I don't do anything that endangers the country, you can't call me a scumbag."
"Hey, why should I explain to you?"
Su Xiaofan recalled it, and said angrily: "I have something to say, I have nothing to do, I still have to practice. Last time I helped you sort out the meridians, I haven't recovered yet."
"Are you OK."
Mo Zixuan sounded worried, "What medicinal materials do you need? I'll buy them and send them to you. It's more convenient for Yanjing to buy these."
"It's okay, it will be fine after a few days of recuperation."
Su Xiaofan is really afraid that the other party will send him medicinal materials. Even the hundred-year-old ginseng has no effect on him, and buying it is a waste.
"I have something to tell you."
Mo Zixuan stopped joking with Su Xiaofan, but mentioned the business.
"Next month we are going to Dachuan Province for an academic exchange, will you go?"
"Scholarly Exchange?"
Su Xiaofan was taken aback when he heard the words, "You are the only special recruitment class in the whole country, who are you going to communicate with?"
"And some practitioners among the people are also young people trained by your sect."
Mo Zixuan said: "The above means that we can't build a car behind closed doors. We need to have more contact with the outside world and have more practical experience."
"Do you still need to learn from each other?"
Su Xiaofan frowned when he heard the words, "Young people have a short training time, and they can't control their strength well. If they compete at this stage, they will be easily injured."
"It's better to get hurt now than to get hurt in that kind of place."
Mo Zixuan did not agree with Su Xiaofan's words, "And with the seniors watching, nothing will happen."
"Then why are you calling me?" Su Xiaofan asked puzzled.
"Aren't you a young man too?"
Mo Zixuan asked back: "Your cultivation is not as good as mine, don't you need to communicate more with people with similar cultivation?"
"I…"
Su Xiaofan was so blocked that he couldn't speak, buddy can kill you with just a breath, who gave you the confidence to say that my cultivation is not as good as yours?
"No, I'm not interested."
Su Xiaofan refused immediately, why not just sit on the recliner and enjoy life when he has time, why would he watch a bunch of kids fight.
"There is a space crack in Mount Qingcheng, aren't you interested?" Mo Zixuan's voice sounded.
"Qingcheng restricted area?"
Su Xiaofan sighed, he was really not interested in that place, otherwise this time it would be over.
"Hey, you know."
Mo Zixuan was a little surprised, but then came to understand that Qingcheng Forbidden City is the most suitable for young people to practice, Su Xiaofan's elders should have told him.
"It's good to know, your cultivation level is not enough, it is dangerous to go to experience alone, it will be safer to go in with us this time."
Mo Zixuan made this call purely out of kindness. In her opinion, she wanted to lead Su Xiaofan to fight monsters and upgrade.
"Let's see when the time comes, what time is next month? If I have time, I will go there."
Su Xiaofan made a bitter face, he always felt that the special recruitment class was not very reliable, especially not paying enough attention to the safety of the students.
If I and my master hadn't dealt with the giant python in advance last time, the internship in the special recruitment class would have been completely wiped out.
Thinking of them going to the restricted area, Su Xiaofan couldn't help feeling a little headache. He couldn't care about others, but Su Xiaofan cared about his sister's safety.
"I will go to Dachuan Province on the 20th of next month. I will exchange with you for about three or four days, and then I will enter the Qingcheng restricted area on the 25th!"
Mo Zixuan gave the exact time. This exchange was officially organized and involved a wide range of people.
"Try my best, I will try my best!"
Su Xiaofan made a perfunctory sound, hung up the phone, and lay back on the chair to look at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling that it was not as beautiful as before.
I had a phone call with Brother Gang at night. Brother Gang arrived in England during the day. There will be an auction here the day after tomorrow. There is a rare meteorite in the auction album.
Su Xiaofan also looked at the photos in the album, he had never seen that meteorite, it was only the size of a baby's fist.
According to the auction house's promotion, it is extremely rare, regardless of whether it is true or not, Su Xiaofan asked Brother Gang to take it back for him.
The production of the arm guard is a little troublesome, because the giant python skin needs to be disassembled, otherwise such a thick piece of skin cannot be made into an inner armor at all.
After waiting for eight full days, when the time had already entered November 3rd, Jing Shizhen notified Su Xiaofan that he could leave.
Because he wanted to bring Duobao, he naturally drove to Uncle Jing's villa, where he and Aunt Mei were already waiting.
"Brother Jing, Xiaofan, you must be careful!"
Aunt Mei looked at the two worriedly. She is also a cultivator and has been to the restricted area before, so she naturally knows the danger of such a place.
Even if the two people in front of them are the current top combat power, they may not be able to retreat in the death penalty area. This trip will be very dangerous.
"Ah Xiang, don't worry, I've seen a lot of big storms, so I'm fine."
Jing Shizhen comforted Aunt Mei, opened the trunk of the car, took out two bags of things from a big backpack, and then threw the backpack into the trunk.
"Aunt Mei, don't worry, I will take good care of Master."
Su Xiaofan laughed, opened the car door and jumped into the cab.
"You said it wrong, Master took care of you."
Jing Shizhen also got into the car, waved at Aunt Mei, and the car drove out of the community.
"Master, we have made a lot of giant python skins, why don't you just make two more leather pants."
Watching Jing Shizhen thrown onto the back seat, with Duobao laying on the armguard under her body, Su Xiaofan was joking with Master.
But Su Xiaofan really felt the need to make leather pants, if he had this thing, he wouldn't have been bitten by the Golden Silkworm Gu last time.
"No, a total of four pieces of inner armor and four armguards were made."
Jing Shizhen spread his hands and said, "That thing is very troublesome to nitrate. It has to be soaked in strong acid to remove the hard cuticle on the surface, and there is not much to take out the soft skin inside."
"Okay, let's look back and see what other extraordinary creatures we can hunt."
Su Xiaofan nodded, the giant python skin is half of him and his master, four pieces of inner armor, Su Xiaofan wears one on his body, and the other is given to Su Xiaoxiao.
Naturally, there is no need to ask about Jing Shizhen's one, as she shares one with Aunt Mei. Such a good thing can't be bought outside no matter how much money you spend, so naturally you keep it for your own use.
"How do we go? Where do we enter Kunlun Mountain?"
Jing Shizhen said: "I used to go through Dajiang Province, but I have to climb a mountain over there, and your car can't get through it."
"Go to Daqing Province."
Su Xiaofan has been flipping through the map for the past few days, so he knows the route very well.
"Batur knows that there is a road that can be driven directly to a place not very far outside Death Valley."
Su Xiaofan took out his mobile phone to set up the navigation, and said: "Let's meet Batur first, and then let him lead the way."
Su Xiaofan didn't intend to meddle on the road, and directly positioned the navigation to the best place with Batur.
This section of the road is not close. Even if the road does not stop, it will take more than 30 hours to drive, and it will take two or three days if there is a slight delay.
Jing Shizhen looked at the time on the phone, and said, "It takes five or six days to go back and forth from there, well, I should be back in half a month."
"Master, do you have something to do when you come back?"
Su Xiaofan looked at the past, he also planned to do so, half a month back and forth, trying to make a trip to Dachuan Province.
If it was just for young people to communicate, Su Xiaofan didn't plan to go, but he was a little worried when he heard Mo Zixuan said that he would enter the restricted area.
"Well, you will go to Dachuan Province with me when you come back." Jing Shizhen nodded.
"The exchange meeting?"
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but sighed, and said: "Master, those are just people who have just cultivated. Some people haven't even cultivated their true energy yet. Why do you ask me to participate in that thing?"
"Huh? How do you know? I only found out yesterday."
Jing Shizhen was stunned when he heard the words, and then realized, "Did your sister tell you?"
"Well, Xiao Xiao told me."
Su Xiaofan nodded and said: "Master, let's make it clear first, you can go, but I won't participate in that exchange meeting."
Although Su Xiaofan is young, he has been in the antique market for several years, and he has figured out a truth, that is, to be a low-key person.
When he set up a stall in the antique market in his first year, a stall owner next to him went to the countryside to dig out an old house. He was so lucky that he got a blue and white porcelain vase from the Jiajing period.
Porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, with blue and white as the crime, was the most imitated by several emperors of the Qing Dynasty. This complete blue and white porcelain vase is worth at least 30 million or more.
As we all know, the things sold at the antique market are all small and worthless items, and those worth three to five thousand are considered very valuable.
So it stands to reason that blue and white porcelain will never appear on the street stalls, and the holder must hide it or send it directly to the auction house for appraisal.
But the stall owner was quite flamboyant and liked to show off, so he took this blue and white porcelain vase from the Ming Dynasty to the antique market. At that time, Su Xiaofan looked at it several times with envy.
Several shopkeepers of antique shops also appraised the scene, and they were sure that it was blue and white porcelain from Ming Dynasty official kilns. Last year, there was a similar Ming blue and white porcelain at an auction house, and it was sold for a high price of more than 40 million.
Most people say congratulations to this stall owner, but they are envious in their hearts.
But there are also a few people who grow envy and hatred in their hearts. They hate why they didn't get this Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain by themselves.
These people set up stalls in the antique market on weekdays, fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days, and they always deal with those local masters, hoping to meet a good thing and reach the sky in one step.
So after seeing the stall owner showing off, he changed his mind.
Late the next night after the stall owner brought the blue and white porcelain to the antique market, four people broke into his house, trying to steal the blue and white porcelain vase.
With such a valuable thing hidden in the house, the stall owner was naturally very vigilant, and the stall owner was alarmed as soon as several people entered the house.
If you can’t steal it, then it’s obvious that you’ve robbed it. Both the robbed and the robbed know each other.
Once the murderous intention comes together, it is difficult to hold back.
In the end, not only was the silence silenced, even the stall owner's wife and two children were killed.
The original stealing incident turned into a massacre, and when it was discovered the next day, it immediately caused a sensation in Luochuan.
Because of the identity of the stall owner, the antique market was the first to be interrogated. Su Xiaofan was checked for his ID card and asked where he was last night.
A few years ago, surveillance was already common, and the identities of the perpetrators were soon identified.
Although several people dispersed and escaped from Luochuan that night, they were arrested one by one in the end, and the case of extermination was finally solved.
However, the shock and influence caused by this case in the antique market cannot be completely eliminated so far.
Since this case happened, in the antique market in Luochuan, no one who practiced stalls dared to say that they got good things, and even if they did, they secretly took them to Yanjing for auction.
And the owners of those antique shops are determined not to store antiques in their shops or at home.
Most of the antiques in the store are stored in the bank safe. If you want to see something, you must make an appointment one day in advance, and you have to deposit it back on the same day you have seen it.
This incident had a great impact on the fledgling Su Xiaofan. The person who was yelling "Big Brother" one day had his entire family wiped out the next day. This also made Su Xiaofan feel for the first time what social danger is.
Su Xiaofan, who is good at summing up lessons, learned a truth from it, that is, to eat meat, you have to hide it in a bowl, when the wind breaks the tall trees, and when you shoot the first bird, you must be low-key and low-key again.
So even if it was his younger sister, Su Xiaofan didn't tell her his true cultivation. He wasn't afraid that his younger sister would know, but he was afraid that Su Xiaoxiao would accidentally tell her.
"You boy, you really don't look like a young man. You don't have any arrogance of a young man."
Jing Shizhen stared at her disciple a few times, unable to tell if she was satisfied or disappointed.
Say you are satisfied. Being a man knows how to be low-key and humble. This is a virtue, and it will not cause some unreasonable disasters.
Let’s talk about disappointment. A cultivator must have an indomitable and enterprising heart, but he can’t see it in Su Xiaofan. He keeps a low profile everywhere, and his mood will inevitably be affected.
"Master, I don't know if you have heard a saying, that is, be less calm and more crazy!"
Su Xiaofan showed a smile on his lips, he has no connections, and he is not invincible, so naturally he wants to keep a low profile.
But if I make friends all over the world like my master, and have a good cultivation, then I don’t need to hide it like I am now.
More importantly, Su Xiaofan has a secret.
After practicing for more than half a year, he is as good as others for a lifetime. It cannot be explained by just using the word genius. It is estimated that Master has guessed such a secret in his heart many times.
Su Xiaofan also knows that this secret will be known sooner or later, but if he can hide it for a day, he can live a few more days of peace.
"Hey, what am I doing with all this idle time?"
Seeing the smile on Su Xiaofan's mouth, Jing Shizhen patted her thigh.
This kid does not talk about his state of mind when he is practicing, he is like riding a rocket, he jumps up immediately, all the experience of the predecessors is not applicable to Su Xiaofan here!
