Chapter 207 City Lord (3700 Supplement)
"What?"
Yu Jian was only a teenager, and only now did he deeply feel the darkness of society.
This profiteer not only stole their goods, but even sent them all to hell!
"Outlanders, you are very bold. It seems that there will be new faces in those mines soon!"
The patrol captain said sharply.
But I was thinking in my heart: 'It's just a Panshi village, there are no powerful people, and there is no powerful relationship, even if you kill him directly, no one will stand out...'
Compared with this profiteer, there is no doubt about which side the balance will lean towards.
"My lord, we are willing to give up the goods, please spare us!"
Li Hu's face was pale, and he had no intention of confrontation at all, so he could only beg for mercy.
"Hey... this is the fate of offending my lord!"
The profiteer smiled very happily: "You... all go to the mine to repent for me! Guards, please do it!"
"Wait a minute!"
At this time, Zhang Kongfan, who was in charge of running errands, came with a stinky face.
"Who are you……"
The patrol captain was stunned, and then looked at Zhang Kongfan's luxurious clothes and a certain mark on them, his expression became serious, and he bowed and saluted: "My lord!"
As a formation master, even if only at the apprentice level, he is also the core ruling class of the entire Starfall City, and each of them should not be underestimated.
"Well, these people..."
Zhang Kongfan glared at Li Hu with the gaze of a country bumpkin, gritted his teeth and said, "It's my friend... What happened?"
"Ah...no big deal!"
The patrol captain was stunned, and immediately made a choice between the businessman and the formation master.
He turned his head to look at the profiteer, with a tinge of righteousness on his face: "Boss Min, since you accuse this group of foreigners of shoddy goods, please come with us to the yamen, and your warehouse is full of money." Seal it up and check it one by one!"
"This this……"
The profiteer was immediately dumbfounded.
His only reliance was his brother-in-law in the patrol team. Once the other party really wanted to 'enforce the law impartially', he definitely had no room for resistance.
What's more, Boss Min glanced at Zhang Kongfan, and his legs immediately began to go weak.
He never imagined that the backstage group of those who were suffering would be a formation mage!
How can this be?
How could such a tall, god-like figure have something to do with such a muddy leg?
Boss Min regretted it very much in his heart, but he also knew that no matter what he said at this time, it was useless, and existence was reasonable.
After all, he is a shrewd person, and immediately succumbed: "Little plead guilty! I regret that I misunderstood people's words before, and had a misunderstanding with these brothers!"
He looked at Li Hu and Yu Jian, with a flattering smile on his face: "I will return those goods as they are, and I will also send ten stones of green salt and one hundred catties of refined iron as gifts in return. Please accept them!"
Li Hu and Yu Jian looked puzzled.
In fact, until now, they still don't quite understand what happened and why the situation was reversed in an instant.
The originally aggressive boss seemed to have suddenly turned into fish on the chopping board, and he was afraid that others would not accept the gift when he gave it.
"All of this changed after the appearance of this lord!"
Li Hu looked at Zhang Kongfan, but guessed that this person was extraordinary, and quickly knelt down: "Thank you, sir, for saving me, Panshi Village will always be grateful!"
"You're welcome, I'm just entrusted by others!"
Zhang Kongfan's expression was a little unnatural, and he turned sideways, not accepting the great gift from these servants.
After all, if it wasn't for the words of Master Kongming, he wouldn't bother to care about the lives of these ants.
"In that case..."
Li Hu is also a wink, even if he has a backer, he doesn't want to chase after him and form a deep hatred: "Let's do it like this!"
He saluted the patrol captain again: "Thank you, my lord, for upholding justice!"
"Well, you're welcome!"
The captain smiled, obviously satisfied with the other party's knowledge and interest: "I am Luo Fan, if you come to Xingluo City in the future, you can still come to me!"
"It's time for me to go when I'm done!"
Zhang Kongfan nodded, no matter what they wanted to do next, he just walked away.
"Huh? That's..."
Yu Jian looked at the direction Zhang Kongfan was leaving, rubbed his eyes, and felt as if he saw a familiar figure from behind, but in the blink of an eye, the other person disappeared again, just like a hallucination.
"It should be that adult!"
Li Hu also came to his side, affirming that there is only one expert who has a relationship with them, no matter how you look at it: "I can't imagine that the other party can drive the spirit master..."
Between the words, it was quite remorseful.
Although they knew that Fang Yuan was no small matter, but now it seems that his status is far beyond their imagination.
...
At the same time as their hearts were surging, Fang Yuan came to the temple of the Kongming monk.
"Hoshen Temple?"
He looked at the majestic plaque with a smile on his face: "It is rumored that Brahma has three kinds of Buddha bodies, which are the sambhogakaya, dharma body, and response body. Each incarnation is supernatural and unpredictable. I don’t know how many times the master has cultivated?”
"I don't want laymen to know the true meaning of my Brahma sect?"
The monk Kongming was slightly startled, and immediately shook his head and sighed: "The ancestor of our sect is indeed a Buddhist disciple in Dagan. It is rumored that he has cultivated the sambhogakaya, but later his descendants declined and were implicated again, so he had to escape from Dagan. Most of the scriptures in the temple have long been dissipated. Where is the practice of incarnation? There is only one volume of "Lotus Sutra", which records the experience of a senior monk studying the way of formation. A bit of dreamy and empty flower formation method theory, and thus finally promoted to a spiritual formation master..."
His expression was in a trance, as if he recalled the glorious years back then.
"I see!"
Of course Fang Yuan was very interested in the spirit of formation mixed in the Buddhist scriptures.
But at this time, it is natural not to show it, otherwise it would be to turn on the face and start a war.
‘Is it true that the authors of all the secret books of magic arts don’t like to write well, so they have to be caught in other classics? '
He complained silently in his heart, and stepped into the temple step by step.
The temple looks magnificent from the outside, but the decoration inside is very quiet. A tall banyan tree stands in the garden, with luxuriant branches and leaves, the pavilion is like a canopy, the morning bell and evening drum, the Buddha statue is solemn, and it has a bit of Zen.
"It's really a good place to find a quiet place amidst the noise!"
Seeing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help sighing.
"As long as the layman likes it!"
The monk Kongming seemed very pleased: "If the layman likes it, he can live here as long as he wants!"
"Thank you!"
Although the courtyard is nice, whether it is the banyan tree, the Buddha statue, or the layout and arrangement of the entire temple, Fang Yuan felt a strong sense of formation.
"Maybe I'm throwing myself into a trap? Is the Kongming monk heaving a sigh of relief?"
He thought a little funny in his heart, but under the guidance of the monk Kongming, he came to a wing and stayed directly.
"Lay, please eat!"
This meditation room is quite quiet, with the best sandalwood burning inside, and everything used is extremely extravagant.
Fang Yuan meditated for a while, and immediately there was a polite knock on the door. After receiving the answer, a young novice came in with a green scalp: "The patriarch said that a layman is a distinguished guest, and he is not a Buddhist monk who does not obey the precepts." , if you want something to eat, just tell us, let us buy it!"
"Well, thank you!"
Fang Yuan took the food box and saw that it was full of plain food.
A stack of shiitake mushrooms and fried vegetables are used by the chef, who sees the magic in the decay, and the taste is incomparably delicious. There are also a few vegetarian dishes, which are also ingenious and fragrant. 'Xiao Lei Yin', like swords, with a trace of thunder flashing in the middle, it can resist thunder after eating for a long time, and the tongue feels like being electrocuted when eating, which is deeply impressive.
After this vegetarian feast, even if there is no meat, it is not inferior to enjoying it in the palace.
"If nothing happened, it would be very good to raise her here for a few years..."
After eating and drinking enough, Fang Yuan dismissed the little novice, and thought comfortably: "It would be even better if there were no ghosts in this city!"
"Hehe... Layman Fang Yuan!"
Before Fang Yuan rested, Kongming Divine Monk came to invite him in person: "The Layman has a lot of face. The City Lord heard that there was a distinguished guest coming, so he even postponed the important things for the evening, so he came to meet the Layman himself..."
"It's not that I have enough face, it's that the city lord cares about the common people, and he is so anxious when he hears about the tragedy in Hongye Village, right?"
Fang Yuan asked back with a half-smile, which immediately stunned the monk Kongming, who could only smile bitterly and remain silent.
...
The Baoshen Temple is very large, and there is a vast garden behind it. In the center of the garden is an octagonal pavilion.
At this moment, in the pavilion, there was already one more person waiting quietly.
He was born with starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, and there is a heroic look between his brows. Although he looks like a middle-aged man, his skin is like jade, his eyes are like lacquer, and he wears a high crown. He is not old at all, but looks heroic.
"This is little friend Fang Yuan?"
At this time, he raised his head and looked at Fang Yuan who was walking slowly, with a smile and curiosity in his eyes.
"Fang Yuan, a man of the mountains, has met the Lord of Starfall!"
Fang Yuan saluted briefly, and immediately stepped into the small pavilion unceremoniously.
"Little friend came from afar. As a landlord, I have never welcomed you from afar. Please forgive me!"
The voice of the city lord Xingluo has a hint of magnetism, full of masculine charm, and treats people like a spring breeze.
But for some reason, Fang Yuan's mouth twitched when he saw the almost flawless face that fully represented the masculine charm of the other party, but he had the urge to step forward and punch him.
At this moment, I held back: "To be honest, I want to go to work, but I'm a little lost. I want to ask the city lord for a map..."
"oh?"
City Lord Xingluo frowned, obviously very surprised, and nodded immediately: "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about, I will order someone to send the map later..."
He looked at Fang Yuan with doubts in his eyes: "Could it be... my little friend really came from the south of the Ice Valley?"
That gate of ghosts was like a moat, blocking most people's footsteps. Fang Yuan's appearance here at this time was of great significance.
