Chapter 49 Family
Yuanwu State, Yaofeng County.
Inside a teahouse.
The storyteller spitted, "On the third day of March, in the battle between the Grandmasters of Baiyun Mountain, the White Tiger Star Lord displayed his divine power and defeated the leaders of the six major sects in a row. He was hailed as the best master of the side sects!"
"Just after that... Emperor Yuanwu was suddenly killed by a tiger monster in the midst of an army of 100,000. Some people also said that the tiger monster was the incarnation of the White Tiger Star Lord... At that time, the tiger monster stretched out its body, more than ten feet tall, and opened a bloody mouth like a city gate, swallowing hundreds of living people just like that..."
…
“Bold!”
A student who was listening to the story suddenly stood up and said, "The court has announced to the world that the late emperor died of illness... How dare you make up such a story? Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the police and have you arrested?"
The storyteller's face turned pale and he kept saying that the words of a novelist should not be trusted. After others around him advised him a few more times, the scholar left cursing.
The storyteller wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and did not dare to continue talking about that. He changed his topic and said, "Well... Earlier we talked about the White Tiger Star Lord, who killed many people in Baiyun Mountain and became famous all over the world. You know, he has a connection with our Yaofeng County..."
"Oh? Tell me quickly!"
This aroused the interest of a group of listeners, and they immediately gave a lot of copper coins as rewards.
In the corner, Fang Xian stood up silently, threw a piece of silver, and walked out.
"Things have changed and people have changed..."
After walking around for a few rounds, I couldn't help but sigh to myself.
In Yaofeng County, the Zhang family and the Liu family had been destroyed. After all, their Xiantian died in the martial arts conference, which greatly damaged their strength, and they also encountered major changes in the Yuanwu Kingdom.
However, the five-shaped gate has been preserved.
'After all... the tolerance and endurance of a family are smaller than that of a sect, because a sect can freely select outstanding disciples to ensure that the inheritance continues from generation to generation, but a family cannot do that. Even if the son's aptitude is not high, he is still a son after all. Can we not train him?'
At this time, Fang Xian had already used the secret method of Zhaixing Tower to change his appearance and shrink his body, and completely turned into another person.
Having broken with the two great sects, he might die suddenly in the future just like Chu Kuangren.
Before the war, I have to resolve the cause and effect of this physical body so that I can focus on my work.
Girls change a lot when they grow up, and the same is true for boys.
He left home when he was a teenager, and now, after several years, even his parents might not recognize his true appearance.
Besides, his disguise didn't change drastically. He just made some modifications while retaining the original facial framework, and you can still vaguely see some traces of his former appearance.
Fang Xian returned to the county town, rented an ox cart, bought a large number of things, and then drove slowly towards Daqing Mountain.
…
A small mountain village at the foot of Daqing Mountain.
Several years have passed, and there has been little change here, everything seems just like yesterday.
The "new face" Fang Xian driving back in an ox cart became the biggest topic of conversation and fun of the day, and immediately attracted a lot of attention, with children following him from a distance.
He arrived at the door of his former home and saw an old man chopping wood in the fenced garden. He seemed to be older than before. Feeling a little sad, he pushed open the door.
"who?"
Wang Laogen wiped the sweat from his face and looked at the strong young man who came in, feeling a little surprised.
"It's me, Wang Xiaoer!"
Fang Xiandao.
"You are... Xiao Er?"
Wang Laogen looked up and down, and found a little shadow of Fang Xian's previous face in his changed face, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
He searched around and pulled out a piece of firewood, pretending to hit him: "You little bastard, how come you've been gone for several years? There was no news from you, your mother and I thought you were dead out there."
"You dare to hit my son?"
A person came out from inside the house. It was Wang Laogen's wife, Yunhua. She looked at Fang Xian and burst into tears: "My son..."
"Don't cry, don't cry. It's a good thing that I'm back... and I brought a lot of good things with me."
Fang Xian took the two of them outside and showed them a cart full of things: "Where are my big brother and little sister?"
"Your elder brother is working in the fields, and your younger sister is getting married in this village... Call everyone here today and have a good meal in the evening." Wang Laogen touched this and looked at that, saying with a smile.
"So it's Wang Xiaoer... I was wondering if this guy looked familiar."
"Remember this kid, he was a good hunter when he was young."
"It is said that he went out to make a living, and it seems that he is doing well. Look at the fabric, wow..."
The villagers around are all envious.
In their view, this is a good thing that a good young man from the village went out to explore the world, became successful, and came back, which represents hope.
…
night.
Under the oil lamp, there is a table full of dishes.
The air-dried salted fish, the greasy pig's trotters, the old hen soup... made Wang Da's son and daughter drool.
However, the greedy younger sister had grown up and became more reserved. She asked Fang Xian about his experiences outside.
Fang Xian took a sip of wine and filled up Wang Laogen and Wang Da's glasses. "After I left home, I went to the north. I first learned a few tricks in an escort agency, and later became a traveling merchant..."
"So are you going to leave now that you're back? You haven't got a wife yet."
Mother Yunhua kept muttering that she was thinking about this.
"I never thought that after two lifetimes, I still can't escape this..."
Fang Xian's face darkened: "I haven't found anyone I like yet. I'm leaving in a few days... Business is hard to do nowadays."
Without waiting for them to speak, he took out two envelopes of silver from his bosom, totaling ten five-liang ingots, which sparkled under the oil lamp.
It’s not that I can’t give out more, but if I’m not there, giving it out will cause trouble.
"Here is fifty taels... I went to see the village chief before, and bought some land from this village and neighboring villages, and collected fifty acres... I mean, big brother takes ten taels of silver and ten acres of land, and little sister takes five taels and five acres of land, what do you think?"
With fifty acres of land, one could be considered a small landlord in the countryside and could live a good life.
Going to the city, there are all kinds of complicated forces, it is better to go to the countryside to avoid disaster.
After all, Fang Xian knew the person's ins and outs well, so it wouldn't be a big problem for him to intimidate the village chief, the local tyrant.
“Too many…”
Younger sister Wang Shanhua looked at her second brother with tears in her eyes.
A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. She never thought that she would still have so much land and money to take.
"Take it."
Fang Xian sighed.
If he could reveal his identity, then thousands of acres of fertile land and a wealthy family would be no problem.
But now there are too many enemies, if you don’t want to be wiped out, you still have to keep a low profile.
He even asked himself that even if he became invincible in the future, he could not make this relationship public.
Otherwise, everything would be fine before I died.
It is hard to say what would happen if I died without any capable disciples to support me.
In this world, even a grandmaster can only live for two hundred years. This is the destiny!
