Hao Yun knew that the Fang family was in Lingdu, but he didn't expect it to be so close. The institute is located on an island in the middle of the reservoir. The water in this reservoir flows down from the mountain, and the mountain next to the reservoir It is where the Fang family is located. To use Mr. Fang's original words, the reservoir where the academy is located is actually owned by the Fang family. However, in order to build the institute, the Fang family donated the land that was originally a lake. In this way, other forces that used the land provided by the Fang family can contribute money and effort. They jointly invested in the construction of this Qigong Institute.
Hao Yun originally thought that the Fang family would be very heavily guarded in this mountain, and wondered whether a large magic circle would be built to surround the entire mountain. It turned out that there was no magic circle at all, not even guards, so they arrived at the Fang family compound deep in the mountains unimpeded.
Hao Yun asked Mr. Fang if this was not safe. Mr. Fang's answer was that firstly, ordinary people did not dare to provoke the Fang family; secondly, the powerful enemy's magic circle could not stop them; thirdly, and most importantly, the magic circle that could envelop the mountain capital could not be used. For the Fang family, which only has a total of thirty people, money does not come from strong winds. Building a security circle for the entire mountain is too luxurious and completely unnecessary.
When we arrived at the Fang family compound, the area was not as large as expected. There was only one warning circle in the entire compound, which would warn the Fang family when strangers came. So, just as Fang Laogang brought Hao Yun to the gate, someone from the Fang family also came to the door to greet him.
"Sure enough, dad is back. While I was practicing, I got a warning from the magic circle that an outsider had entered the Fang family. I thought it was dad who brought his junior brother back to recognize the door. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise the junior brother would think that our Fang family was waiting for him. You are not polite enough!"
Hao Yun saw a middle-aged man walking out of the gate of Fang's house. He had a pale face and no beard. The smiling eyes on his dignified face were exactly the same as Mr. Fang's. There was an unconcealable excitement between his eyebrows.
Mr. Fang looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and said: "What about hospitality? This guy is not a guest. When he comes to the Fang family, he becomes a member of the Fang family. There is no need to do anything pretentious. Let me introduce it to you. Hao Yun, your junior brother."
Mr. Fang turned to Hao Yun: "This is my son, just this one son, Fang Feishi."
Hao Yun hurriedly saluted Fang Feishi: "Little brother, pay homage to senior brother."
Fang Feishi grabbed Hao Yun's shoulders and looked at Hao Yun carefully, which made Hao Yun's heart tremble. After a long time, Senior Brother Fang let go of his hands and said, "Sure enough, you are really talented. Dad, don't you still want to see Lord Ling Emperor? I'll take my junior brother around Fang's house and introduce him to him in detail."
Mr. Fang nodded: "Son, please introduce him to him. There should be a meeting in the afternoon, so I will go to see Lord Ling Emperor first."
Senior Brother Fang took Hao Yun around the Fang family compound, but in fact not much turned around. The Fang family was much simpler than Hao Yun thought, with a big courtyard inside a small courtyard. Along the way, Senior Brother Fang pointed to the small courtyard he passed by and said Hao Yun couldn't remember who lived here. That is to say, the Fang family is built on the mountain. Each courtyard is located on a different level, some are high and some are low, which is quite interesting. There was a mountain stream gurgling along the way, and finally we came to the end of the stream. This was a pool made of large bluestones. In the pool, a mountain spring kept gushing out. There was a gap in the pool, and the mountain spring flowed out from the gap. Enter the creek and eventually flow into the reservoir where the Yamashita Research Institute is located.
After bypassing the pond, we came to a building built entirely against the mountain. Brother Fang introduced that this is the ancestral hall where the center of the Fang family is located, including the meeting hall, the office of Lord Ling Emperor, the financial room of the Fang family, and the steward of the Fang family. The rooms and so on are all here, and the afternoon meeting will also be held in the conference hall here.
Along the way, Master Fang told Hao Yun in detail about the current situation of the Fang family. Currently, there are six generations of the Fang family. The first generation consists of one person, Lord Ling Emperor, and three in the second generation. However, none of them are children of Lord Ling Emperor. Lord Ling Emperor There is a son who has ascended to the immortal world decades ago; three generations of five. Mr. Fang is the grandson of Lord Ling Emperor. Mr. Fang has no brothers or sisters. There are eight people from the fourth generation, and Senior Brother Fang is also a single child; there are eleven people from the fifth generation; and there are at least two people from the sixth generation, and they are still relatively young.
Hao Yun knew that it was not easy for cultivators to have children, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, especially since there were only two in the sixth generation. It was obvious that the fifth generation did not work hard. There should be eleven people, so why should there be eleven. He asked this question to Senior Brother Fang, and Senior Brother Fang's answer was unexpected. It turned out that only eight of the five generations were real children of the Fang family, and the remaining three were spouses. In other words, only three couples were married among the six generations. . In the same way, four generations and eight people are actually just four couples. Three generations and five, including two couples plus a widowed widower. There are three Fang family members in the second generation, two boys and one girl.
Hao Yun asked curiously, did the Fang family include apprentices? Senior Brother Fang replied, "It doesn't count, unless you change your surname or marry into the Fang family." Senior Brother Fang also revealed to him by the way that when marrying a woman from the Fang family, a man must marry into his wife. Hao Yun felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. He wouldn't be allowed to change his surname, would he? Brother Fang understood Hao Yun's thoughts by looking at his expression, and told him that as an apprentice, you are free to change your surname or not, and it's not up to you to change it if you want. If you want to become a member of the Fang family, the most important thing is to have The qualification to practice the power of time means that only disciples who can sense the spiritual power of time and practice the Fang family's light technique have the opportunity. Although the Fang family currently accepts disciples, there have been no such disciples for many years. Senior Brother Fang asked Hao Yun if he wanted to try it! Hao Yun thought to himself: You can give it a try, but forget about changing your last name!
Brother Fang brought Hao Yun to the courtyard where he lived, and asked his servants to prepare a guest room for him to stay in. After having dinner with Hao Yun, Senior Brother Fang asked Hao Yun to take a rest, and after waiting for the news from Elder Fang, they went to the meeting hall together for a meeting.
In the afternoon, Hao Yun and Senior Brother Fang came to the meeting hall. Hao Yun was still a little nervous. After all, he met more than 20 strangers and the legendary Lord Spirit Emperor all at once. To say he wasn't nervous would be an understatement. Unexpectedly, after entering the conference hall, I found that there were not many people. There were only a dozen or so people at full count. There was no one at the main seat of the conference hall. It must be that Lord Ling Emperor had not arrived yet. In the meeting hall, twos and threes gathered together to talk. When Mr. Fang saw them walking in, he whispered to a fat aunt with a round face next to him. The fat aunt looked at Hao Yun, and then said: " Now that we are all here, let’s have a meeting!” Then he walked to the main seat of the meeting hall and sat down.
Only then did Hao Yun realize that Master Ling Emperor had come a long time ago, and she was a woman. No wonder Mr. Fang and Senior Brother Fang always like to call Mr. Ling Emperor. If Mr. Fang should be called Grandma according to his seniority, what about my grandma? Yes, it feels so joyful.
The others quickly sat down, leaving only Hao Yun standing in the middle. Hao Yun hurriedly stepped forward to salute the fat aunt in charge, kowtowed three times in a polite manner, and shouted: "The fourth generation disciple Hao Yun pays homage to our ancestors." , I wish our ancestors a long life, endless prosperity and prosperity, that the spiritual world will get better and better under the leadership of our ancestors, and that the people will become happier and happier!"
Senior Brother Fang taught him these words and etiquette, and he learned and practiced them on the spot. This incident made Lord Ling Emperor amused. Lord Lingdi's smiling eyes are not big to begin with, and even smaller when Il Lok is around. Although Lingdi's hair has turned gray, there are no wrinkles on his face. His round face has a straight nose, and there are slits between his eyebrows. There was a hint of unrulyness, and there seemed to be a glint in the eyes in the chuckle, which made Hao Yun see through from the inside out.
Only then did Hao Yun feel the power of Lord Ling Emperor. He originally had a little contempt in his heart, just because Lord Ling Emperor was a woman, and she was also a fat aunt with an unattractive appearance. Now this contempt followed Lord Ling Emperor's heart-wrenching look. After a while of strafing, it all dissipated.
Lord Ling Emperor's laughter slowly stopped, and a cold and slightly hoarse voice sounded: "I must have taught you this sentence when I was a child. Our Fang family does not have so many rules. Although I am called Ling Emperor by the outside world, Ling Emperor The world is not led by me, but everyone can’t beat me, so they just give me some face.”
Following Ling Emperor's words, Hao Yun felt much better. It seemed that Ling Emperor had accepted her magical powers.
"Find a place to sit down and let your senior brother Fang introduce you to the children of the Fang family present." Lord Ling Emperor finished his instructions, then sat on the main seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Senior Brother Fang stood up and introduced the members of the Fang family present. Hao Yun, who had just sat down, quickly stood up and saluted one by one. Among the people present, none of the second-generation tribesmen came, and it was said that they were all practicing in seclusion; the three-generation tribesmen were all here, and the two couples were Fang Tiandao and Fang Lili, Fang Daodao, Fang Cuiting and his wife, and Fang Cangdao and Hao. Among them, Fang Tiandao is the general manager of the Fang family, Fang Dadao is responsible for finance, and Fang Cangdao is responsible for external relations. Two couples came from the fourth generation clan, Brother Fang Feishi and his wife, and Fang Pingshi and his wife. Three people came from the Five Generations, all single, Fang Xingguang, Fang Lingguang, and Fang Weiguang. Among them, Fang Lingguang and Fang Weiguang were women. The Five Generations looked similar to him. They were all young people and should be no more than fifty years old.
After the introduction, Lord Lingdi opened his eyes: "Hao Yun's name is good. I don't know if it's really good luck. I heard from Cang Dao that you are very interested in the time technique of our Fang family. I suggest you not to practice it. Okay, but I guess you won’t give up. So now you and Tiandao go through the procedures with the Fang family. Later I will take you to the Fang family’s practice place, and you can try to see if you can sense the power of time. By the way, God, by the time Hao Yun comes out from the training ground to hold a welcome party, the Fang family has not been lively for a long time."
Hao Yun quickly completed the formalities. In fact, he left his spiritual consciousness in the Fang family's jade slips and got a Fang family jade pendant. This jade pendant has detailed pictures and texts of the Fang family members, so that he will not miss them when he goes out in the future. After finishing, he followed Emperor Ling to the practice place deep in the Fang family ancestral hall.
Lord Ling Emperor didn't speak a word along the way. Hao Yun felt that Lord Ling Emperor must be thinking about something, so he didn't dare to disturb him. At the beginning, it was a normal room corridor. After passing a door, there was a cave behind the door. The cave was facing downwards. It seemed that we were going to the bottom of the mountain. A piece of fluorite was embedded in the cave wall at a distance, giving off a faint fluorescence. Reach far away. I don’t know how far I walked before I came to another door. Lord Lingdi waved his hand and opened it. Inside the door was a square hut with a futon in the middle. Lord Lingdi led Hao Yun into the square hut and closed the door. , let Hao Yun sit cross-legged on the futon in the middle of the room.
Emperor Ling stood in front of Hao Yun: "This hut is the training ground of our Fang family. This is where the ancestor of the Fang family realized the power of time. Back then, he was chased by his enemies and panicked. He fell into the crevices of the mountain and followed the mountain peak. When we came to this place, it was just a slightly empty space at that time. Later, when the Fang family compound was being built, it was changed into a square hut like this. For our Fang family, this hut is a sacred place to change our destiny. You can gain insights here. Use the power of time!"
After saying that, Emperor Ling planned to leave. When he walked to the door, he turned back to Hao Yun and said, "Actually, I suggest you not learn this time technique. It's not that you can't sense the power of time, but that you feel that the time technique It’s useless to you, you should understand it first, and after three days, you can leave here on your own, and then come to my office to find me, and we will talk about it then.”
