Chapter 140 The wind breaks the tall trees and shoots the first bird
"You won't feel so comfortable in a few days."
Seeing Duobao jumping into the yard with a fish in its mouth, Su Xiaofan took it from its mouth. The fish weighed forty or fifty kilograms, which was much heavier than Duobao.
Su Xiaofan turned on the electric grill with ease and started grilling fish in the yard. Living in a villa is convenient, and no matter what you do, it won't affect other people's homes.
Su Xiaofan did not ask his aunt to cook, and his demand for food is getting smaller and smaller now, because food is not enough to supplement Su Xiaofan's body consumption.
Now Su Xiaofan grills fish or stews a goose from Jinghu Lake purely to satisfy his appetite, and the same goes for Duobao.
A fish weighing 40 to 50 pounds was cut into four or five sections. Su Xiaofan ate one section, and the rest was eaten by Duobao.
After eating and drinking, Su Xiaofan lay on the deck chair in the yard and looked at the crisp 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. When Su Xiaofan embarked on the path of cultivation, he wanted to go further on this path.
Just as he was enjoying the refreshing feeling of the autumn wind blowing on his body, Su Xiaofan's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Xiaoxiao, what's the matter?"
After lazily glancing at the caller ID, Su Xiaofan picked up the phone.
"I can't call you if I have nothing to do?"
No matter whether they meet or talk on the phone, the brother and sister always have a few words to argue with each other.
"Yes, as long as you have time, it's no problem to fight for a whole day."
Su Xiaofan said: "Brother just finished eating the grilled fish and is lying on the rocking chair to digest his food. It will be fine now. I can 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 showing her teeth and claws.
"Okay, what's the matter? I've sent you the money."
On the day he left Yanjing, Su Xiaofan transferred 500,000 yuan to his sister. He still had more than 20 million yuan left in his own account.
"I received the money, brother, if you have money, you should spend it sparingly."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I'm not looking for you, it's Sister Zixuan who is looking for you!"
"Huh? Mo Zixuan is looking for me?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment. This was the first time since he entered society that a girl was looking for him.
"Brother Xiaofan..."
"Don't, call me Su Xiaofan!"
As soon as Su Xiaofan heard Mo Zixuan call him brother, goosebumps appeared all over his body.
He didn't know why Mo Zixuan, who seemed so difficult to get along with, was so thick-skinned after getting to know him well.
"Didn't you say you were called by name?" Mo Zixuan's voice came over.
"Then you can just call me Xiaofan, Brother Biga, maybe you are older than me."
Su Xiaofan said sternly: "I was born in August, so you must be older than me. I will also call you sister from now on!"
Ever since he was young, Su Xiaofan felt that he should be a younger brother. It would be great if he had a sister. He could lie down and call his sister to do whatever he wanted.
"I'm sorry, I am born in November, but you are still older than me!"
Mo Zixuan didn't know why, but after being so angry with Su Xiaofan a few days ago, she suddenly became more relaxed in front of him.
Mo Zixuan didn't have many friends, and he rarely interacted with his classmates when he was in school.
She joined a related department before she graduated. She was surrounded by people much older than her and had almost no friends of the same age.
Mo Zixuan, who has been labeled a good girl and a top student since she was a child, has always behaved according to the rules, but since meeting Su Xiaofan, she feels like her nature has been 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 recruitment class again. I earn hundreds of thousands a day, but I don't have time to be the king of your children."
"Bah, you scumbag!" The voice from the other side of the phone made Su Xiaofan turn pale.
"Hey, why am I a scumbag? I...I haven't been a scumbag yet."
Su Xiaofan felt that he was wronged, but he had always been a pure and good boy.
"How can you withdraw money when you serve the country? If you raise money, you are a scumbag."
I don't know why, but when Su Xiaofan said that he had never been a scumbag, Mo Zixuan's face immediately turned red.
"If the inheritance is different, my sect cannot 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 came back to his senses and said angrily: "If you have something to say, if nothing else, I still have to practice. I helped you sort out your meridians last time, and I haven't recovered yet."
"Are you OK."
Mo Zixuan's worried voice sounded, "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, I'll be fine in a few days."
Su Xiaofan was really afraid that the other party would send him medicinal materials. Even the century-old ginseng had no effect on him, so buying it would be a waste.
"I have something to tell you."
Mo Zixuan stopped joking with Su Xiaofan and brought up business.
"Next month we are going to Dachuan Province for an academic exchange. Will you go?"
"Academic exchange?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "You are the only special recruit class in the 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: "What it means above is that we cannot work behind closed doors. We need to have more contact with the outside world and gain more practical experience."
"Do we still need to spar?"
Su Xiaofan frowned when he heard this, "Young people have a short training time and cannot control their strength well. If we compete at this stage, we will be easily injured."
"It's better to get hurt now than to get hurt in that kind of place."
Mo Zixuan disagreed with Su Xiaofan's words, "And with the seniors watching, nothing will happen."
"Then why did you call me?" Su Xiaofan asked in confusion.
"Aren't you a young man too?"
Mo Zixuan asked in return: "Your cultivation level is not as good as mine. Don't you need to communicate more with people of similar cultivation level?"
"I……"
Su Xiaofan was so speechless that he could kill you with just one 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. If you have time to sit on a recliner and enjoy life quietly, why would you want to watch a bunch of kids fighting?
"There is a space crack in Qingcheng Mountain, aren't you interested?" Mo Zixuan's voice rang out.
"Qingcheng restricted area?"
Su Xiaofan sighed. He was really not interested in that place, otherwise he would have passed it this time.
"Hey, you know."
Mo Zixuan was a little surprised, but then he understood that the Qingcheng restricted area was best for young people to gain experience. Su Xiaofan's elders should have told him.
"It's good to know. You don't have enough cultivation. It's very dangerous to practice alone. It will be safer if you go in with us this time."
Mo Zixuan made this call purely out of good intentions. In her opinion, she wanted to help Su Xiaofan fight monsters and upgrade.
"Let's see then. When will it be next month? I'll go there if I have time."
Su Xiaofan grimaced. He always felt that the special recruitment class was not very reliable, especially because it did not pay enough attention to the safety of the students.
If he and his master hadn't dealt with the giant python in advance last time, the internship in the special recruitment class would have ended in total annihilation.
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but have a headache when he thought that they were going to the restricted area. He couldn't care about others, but Su Xiaofan did care about his sister's safety.
"I'll go to Dachuan Province on the 20th of next month. I'll spend about three or four days communicating, and then I'll enter the Qingcheng restricted area on the 25th!"
Mo Zixuan gave an accurate time. This exchange was officially organized and covered a wide range of topics.
Basically all the hermit sects and the younger generation of disciples from those aristocratic families will attend, which is considered a grand event in the cultivation world.
"I'll try my best, I'll try my best!"
Su Xiaofan made a perfunctory sound, hung up the phone, lay back on the chair and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling that it was not as beautiful as before.
I had a phone call with Brother Gang in the evening. Brother Gang arrived in England during the day. There will be an auction here the day after tomorrow. There is a rare meteorite on the auction album.
Su Xiaofan also looked at the photos in the album. The meteorite was something he had never seen before. It was only the size of a baby's fist.
The auction house said it was extremely rare, regardless of whether it was true or false, Su Xiaofan asked Brother Gang to help him buy it.
Making the arm guards is a little more troublesome, because the python skin needs to be broken down, otherwise such a thick piece of skin cannot be made into inner armor at all.
After waiting for a full eight days, and it was already November 3rd, Jing Shizhen notified Su Xiaofan that it was time to leave.
Since I had to take Duobao with me, I naturally drove there and 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 of them with some worry. She was also a cultivator and had been to the restricted area before, so she naturally knew the dangers of that kind of place.
Even if the two people in front of them are already at the top level of combat power, they may not be able to escape from the death zone. This trip will be very dangerous.
"Axiang, don't worry. I've seen a lot of strong winds and waves, so it's okay."
Jing Shizhen comforted Aunt Mei, opened the trunk of the car, took out two bags of things from a large backpack, and then threw the backpack into the trunk.
"Aunt Mei, don't worry, I will take good care of Master."
Su Xiaofan chuckled, opened the car door and jumped into the cab.
"Are you saying the opposite? Master can't take care of you enough."
Jing Shizhen also got into the car, waved to Aunt Mei, and the car drove out of the community.
"Master, we have made a lot of python skins, you might as well make another pair of leather pants."
Su Xiaofan joked with his master as he watched Jing Shizhen throw the arm guard into the back seat and Duobao lying on it.
But Su Xiaofan really felt that it was necessary to make leather pants. If he had such a thing, he wouldn't have been bitten by the golden silkworm Gu last time.
"No, I made a total of four pieces of inner armor and four arm guards."
Jing Shizhen spread her hands and said: "It's very troublesome to prepare that thing. It has to be soaked in strong acid to remove the hard cuticle on the surface. After taking out the soft skin inside, there won't be much left."
"Okay, let's look back and see what other extraordinary creatures we can hunt down."
Su Xiaofan nodded. He and his master had half of the python skin. There were four pieces of inner armor. Su Xiaofan wore one, and the other one was given to Su Xiaoxiao.
Of course, there is no need to ask about Jing Shizhen, as he and Aunt Mei each have one. Such good things cannot be bought outside no matter how much money they spend, so they are naturally kept for their own use.
"How do we go? Where can we enter Kunlun Mountain?"
Jing Shizhen said: "I used to go there from Dajiang Province, but there is a mountain to climb there, and your car can't pass it."
“Go to Daqing Province.”
Su Xiaofan has been looking at the map these days, and he knows the route very well.
"Batur knows there is a road that can drive directly to a place not very far outside Death Valley."
Su Xiaofan took out his mobile phone and set up the navigation, and said: "Let's meet Batur first, and then let him lead the way."
Su Xiaofan had no intention of interfering on the road, and directly positioned the navigation to a better place with Batur.
This section of the road is not close. Even if there is no stop on the way, it will take more than thirty hours. If there is a slight delay, it will take two or three days.
Jing Shizhen looked at the time on her phone and said, "It takes five or six days to walk back and forth from there. Well, I should be able to come back in half a month."
"Master, what happened when you came back?"
Su Xiaofan looked sideways, and he had the same plan. He would go back and forth for half a month and try to make a trip to Dachuan Province.
If it was just an exchange between young people, Su Xiaofan had no intention of going, but when Mo Zixuan said that he wanted to enter the restricted area, he was a little worried.
"Well, when you come back, you and I will go to Dachuan Province." Jing Shizhen nodded.
"That exchange meeting?"
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but sigh and said: "Master, those are just new practitioners. Some people haven't even developed their true energy yet. Why do you want me to participate in that thing?"
"Huh? How do you know? I only found out yesterday."
Jing Shizhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then reacted, "Your sister told you, right?"
"Well, Xiaoxiao told me."
Su Xiaofan nodded and said: "Master, let's agree first. It's okay to go, but I won't participate in that exchange meeting."
Although Su Xiaofan is young, he has been working in the antique market for several years and has figured out a truth, that is, he should be low-key.
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 very lucky, and he actually got a blue and white porcelain vase from the Jiajing period.
The blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty was the most imitated by several emperors of the Qing Dynasty. This complete blue and white porcelain vase is worth at least 30 million.
As we all know, the things sold at the stalls in the antique market are all small and worthless items. Even items worth three to five thousand are considered very valuable.
Therefore, it stands to reason that blue and white porcelain will never appear on a street stall. The owner must hide it or send it directly to the auction house for appraisal and bidding.
But the stall owner was quite cool and liked to show off, so he took this Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase to the antique market. At that time, Su Xiaofan also looked at it with envy.
Shopkeepers from several antique shops also conducted appraisals on site and determined that it was undoubtedly Ming Dynasty official kiln blue and white porcelain. Last year, the auction house had a similar Ming blue and white porcelain, which sold for a high price of more than 40 million.
Most people expressed congratulations to this stall owner but were envious in their hearts.
But there are also a few people who have envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts. They hate why they didn't pick up this piece of blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty.
These people usually work as stalls in the antique market, spending three days fishing and two days drying nets, and they are always dealing with those local masters, hoping to meet good things and rise to the top at one step.
So after seeing the stall owner showing off, he had a wrong idea.
Late at night the next day after the stall owner took the blue and white porcelain to the antique market, four people broke into his home and tried to steal the blue and white porcelain vase.
With such valuable things hidden in the house, the stall owner was naturally very alert. He was alerted as soon as the few people entered the house.
If you can't steal it, then it's obvious that it was robbed. The person who robbed the thing and the person who was robbed both know each other. If they look at each other, they have to silence each other.
When the murderous intention is present, it is difficult to suppress it.
In the end, not only was he silenced, but the stall owner's wife and two children were also killed.
What was originally an incident of stealing things turned into a massacre. When it was discovered the next day, it immediately caused a sensation throughout Luochuan.
Due to the identity of the stall owner, the first place to be interrogated was naturally the antique market. Su Xiaofan's ID card was checked and he was asked where he was last night.
A few years ago, surveillance was already very common, and the identities of the perpetrators were quickly identified.
Although several people dispersed and escaped from Luochuan that night, they were eventually arrested one by one and the murder case was finally solved.
However, the shock and impact this case caused on the antique market cannot be completely eliminated to this day.
After this case happened, no one who practiced stalls in Luochuan's antique market dared to say that they got good things. Even if they did, they secretly took them to Yanjing and put them up for auction.
And those antique shop owners are determined not to store antiques in their stores or at home.
Most of the antiques in the store are stored in bank safes. If you want to see something, you have to make a reservation one day in advance, and you have to deposit it back on the same day after viewing it.
This incident had a huge impact on the fledgling Su Xiaofan. The person who was calling him "Big Brother" the first day, had his whole family exterminated the next day. This also made Su Xiaofan feel for the first time what social dangers are.
Su Xiaofan, who is good at summarizing lessons, learned a truth from it, that is, when eating meat, you have to hide it in the bowl. The wind breaks the tall trees and the gun kills the first bird. As a person, you must be low-key and low-key.
Therefore, even if it was his sister, Su Xiaofan did not tell her his true cultivation level. He was not afraid that his sister would know, but he was afraid that Su Xiaoxiao would reveal it accidentally.
"You boy, you really don't look like a young man. You don't have any arrogance of young people at all."
Jing Shizhen stared at his disciple for a few times, unable to tell whether he was satisfied or disappointed.
Let's just say I'm satisfied. It's a virtue to be low-key and humble, and you won't cause unnecessary disasters.
To be honest, I am disappointed. A cultivator must have an enterprising spirit to move forward, but there is no such thing in Su Xiaofan. He is always low-key, and his state of mind will inevitably be affected.
"Master, there is a saying I don't know if you have heard of it, that is, it is better to be calm than to be crazy!"
A smile appeared on Su Xiaofan's lips. He had no connections and was not invincible, so naturally he had to keep a low profile.
But if you make friends all over the world like Master, and have good cultivation, then you don't need to hide it like you do now.
More importantly, Su Xiaofan has a secret.
After practicing for just over half a year, he is as good as others for a lifetime. It cannot be explained by just two words: genius. Master has probably guessed this secret so many times in his mind.
Su Xiaofan also knew that this secret would be known to others sooner or later, but if he could hide it for a day, he would be able to live a peaceful life for a few more days.
"Hey, what am I doing with all this idleness?"
Seeing the smile on Su Xiaofan's lips, Jing Shizhen clapped her thigh.
There is no such thing as a state of mind in this guy's cultivation. He is like riding a rocket, darting up in a blink of an eye. All the experiences of his predecessors are not applicable to Su Xiaofan!
If you don’t shout, you won’t get a vote. I cry and beg for monthly votes!
