Garden feast.
For the vast majority of Huating local people, this is a very strange name, but for a few people, it is one of the top clubs in Huating.
The garden feast is located in Lanshan National Forest Park in the southwest of Huating Yunjian District, covering an area of less than 1500 mu. It is surrounded by ancient trees and covered with bamboos to block out the sun. A group of ancient buildings are dotted in the surrounding green mountains and waters. The scenery is very quiet.
Although the club is built in the National Forest Park, it is not listed or open to the public. Instead, it implements the membership system. In the nearly five or six years since its establishment, the club has no more than 100 members, so most of the time in the whole building complex is in a very lonely state.
In the early morning sun, along a hidden path, Wang Yuetong drove a beige beetle, while driving, he introduced the garden feast to Li Tianlan.
"The garden feast was opened when the second uncle just arrived at Huating. In five years, there were only less than 100 membership cards issued, among which 20 were senior members and the others were ordinary members."
"But even ordinary members are energetic people in Huating. A membership card for a garden feast can also represent the identity of the cardholder in Huating to a certain extent."
Wang Yuetong blinked his eyes and looked at the road ahead. He said in a soft voice, "elder martial brother, I'll ask my second uncle to give you a membership card. In the future, when we have a holiday and I'm not with you, you can come here for a walk."
"Although there are few guests here on weekdays, as long as you meet them, you will have the value of making friends. Sky college is not an ordinary school. The connection between inside and outside of the school is very close. In the future, if you want to develop in Huating or in the south, it will not do harm to know more people, and the less than 100 members here are the most worth knowing."
"Thank you."
Li Tianlan said quietly, but he sighed in his heart. Wang Yuetong may be kind to him, but nearly 100 members of the garden feast are destined not to help him much.
After all, every member here is basically a member of the southeast group, or a person who will not have a conflict of interest with the southeast group in a short period of time. Now the southeast group is dominated by the Wang family of Beihai. Once his identity is exposed, we can imagine what attitude people here will have towards him.
However, Li Tianlan also understands Wang Yuetong's idea. It is certain that the other party wants to help him, but from her standpoint, another meaning of her help is to integrate herself into the system of southeast group, which may not be wrong in Wang Yuetong's view, but Li Tianlan can't.
Better be a farmer than a vassal.
If you want to be a vassal, everyone, except Kunlun City, including the crown prince group, will welcome your grandfather and Li. Why has Li struggled to defend the border for many years?
Why should Li Tianlan carefully hide his identity?
As long as we can pull down the face, the whole Li family may have been a vassal for a long time.
But why is grandfather's years of forbearance?
Over the years, with my grandfather at the border, countless Kunlun xuanyuantai elite would rather die than leave the camp. Why?
It's all because of xuanyuantai in Kunlun, because of the dignity and pride of the God of war family for hundreds of years. Who will be the vassal of others? Who dares to be the vassal of others?
Li Tianlan sat on the beetle's copilot in silence, with a calm expression, and let Wang Yuetong take him through the path to enter the gate of the garden feast.
A large area of ancient garden style architecture appeared in Li Tianlan's sight.
In April, the spring is warm and the flowers are in full bloom. In front of us, there are all bridges and pavilions full of ancient style, which makes us forget the customs. Occasionally, there are waiters in Qipao who are gentle and elegant, carrying trays, shuttling through the beautiful scenery of flowers. All the scenes in front of us show a rare tranquility and peace from the details, all the ups and downs of the world, It seems to have completely disappeared.
Li Tianlan thought of Qin Weibai and a sentence.
I really should show you.
Every time Qin Weibai sees something new and sends him a wechat, is it his current state of mind?
"Let's go."
Wang Yuetong looked at Li Tianlan who was in a daze. He came to him and said with a low smile: "don't look. If you like this place, you'll take the card later. You often come here. During the seven day holiday, you stay here without anyone's control, but you are not allowed to make the idea of waiters here. The women here are all human beings, and they don't spit bones."
Li Tianlan followed Wang Yuetong across a small bridge, looked at the clear water and swimming fish in the water, and said with a smile: "how? The waiters here can make up their minds, too? "
"Theoretically, it's OK. There are three beauties in the garden feast: beautiful scenery, delicious food and beauties."
Wang Yuetong explained in a low voice: "the minimum requirement for every waiter here is a master's degree, and they should have enough EQ and excellent appearance. If they take out any one, they can be regarded as real beauties with taste and connotation. If they are willing to have something to do with their guests, Zhuangyuan will not take care of them."
"Smoky!"
Li Tianlan shook his head and said subconsciously.
Wang Yuetong looked at Li Tianlan in amazement, and suddenly said with a smile, "elder martial brother Tianlan, you are so old-fashioned and lovely."
Li Tianlan is too lazy to explain anything and follows Wang Yuetong all the way forward.
After walking for more than ten minutes in the beautiful and quiet garden, the destination finally appeared in front of us.
Within sight of less than 20 meters, there is an octagonal pavilion supported by several thick columns. It is almost surrounded by water. Only a path less than two meters wide extends forward to the center of the pavilion.
Inside the pavilion, one old and one young sat opposite each other on both sides of the stone table, as if playing chess.
Wang Yuetong quickened his pace a little. Before he got close, he began to shout, "second uncle."
In the pavilion, the young man sitting opposite the old man raised his head and saw Wang Yuetong with a doting smile on his face. When he saw Li Tianlan, he was stunned, but his smile didn't diminish. He waved to them, but he didn't get up. Instead, he concentrated on the chessboard again.
Li Tianlan calmly walked into the pavilion, never looked at the old and young who were playing chess, and first subconsciously glanced at the chessboard.
Inside the chessboard, black and white two pieces crisscross, almost covered the whole chessboard, playing chess two people are dignified, falling more and more slowly.
Li Tianlan knows a little about go, which belongs to the entry-level stage where he only knows the rules but has never studied them in depth. After a little sweeping, he immediately feels that something is wrong.
The black and white pieces on the chessboard are well arranged, but the layout is really strange, almost illogical and unreasonable. In the chaos, the dignified old man put down the pieces and said with a gentle smile, "if you don't go down, you'll lose. You're tired."
"What a game of Gobang. It's a world famous game."
Wang Yue Tong casually laughs a way, the tone although is in praise, but don't take a little sincerity.
"Chess is a puzzle. Gobang, go, chess and even checkers are all the same in essence. Why does the princess care what kind of chess it is? As long as you are happy, everything is the same. "
The old man looked up at Wang Yuetong and said with a smile.
The old man was about sixty or seventy years old. He was dressed in a green shirt, with long hair and short beard. His hair was white. In terms of appearance, he was only average. Even his face was a little morbid pale. The only thing that made him feel extraordinary was his eyes.
The old man's eyes didn't seem to be so wise and full of vicissitudes, but they were very bright, just like the stars. They seemed to know everything in a flash, but what impressed Li Tianlan most was his temperament.
It was a kind of indescribable temperament, as if it was a pure mystery and detachment to the extreme. He sat there quietly, with a gentle smile and clear eyes, but it just gave people the illusion that he was not like people in the world.
This is xuanzi, who is said to have been honored as the guest of honor by Wang Tianzong?
"The moon pupil sees the corridor leader."
Wang Yuetong bowed himself in a polite manner, but his tone was not soft: "no, Taoist priest, this is different. Although Gobang and go are chess, the rules are very different. How can these two kinds of playing methods be confused?"
"It's all the same."
The old man's eyes are still gentle, with unspeakable silence and deep meaning: "the road is simple."
"The girl didn't like to use her head when she was young. She can't understand what you said."
The young man opposite the old man looked at Wang Yuetong with a smile: "but this girl still has a conscience. She came here just after the holiday. I didn't hurt you in vain."
"Second uncle, it's not my main purpose to come to you. I've heard that the old immortal xuanzi is with you, so I've come here to be immortal."
Wang Yuetong wrinkled his nose and muttered, stepped back, pulled Li Tianlan and said with a smile: "let me introduce to you, this is elder martial brother Li Tianlan. We are one session. Elder martial brother Tianlan has double pulse of wind and thunder, and his future achievements are limitless."
Double pulse of wind and thunder!
As soon as he said this, not to mention Wang Yuetong's second uncle Wang Xiaoyao, even xuanzi, who was sitting opposite Wang Xiaoyao, had a fierce twinkle in his eyes, and his bright eyes directly fixed on Li Tianlan.
"In that case, it's really a young talent. Tianlan, Tianlan, the name is a little interesting."
Wang Xiaoyao looked at Li Tianlan. His eyes twinkled for a moment. He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile: "Tianlan, I'm wang Xiaoyao. You and Yuetong are classmates. If you don't mind, just call me second uncle."
Li Tianlan took a serious look at Wang Xiaoyao, shook hands with him, and called the second uncle.
Wang Xiaoyao is 30 years old, but he looks like 27 or 28 years old. He is tall and handsome, which can be said to be a standard beautiful man. Ning Qiancheng said in wechat that Wang Xiaoyao is the most domineering dandy in the Wang family of Beihai. But at this moment, Li Tianlan can't see it at all. On the contrary, Wang Xiaoyao's eyes are very modest and calm, and his smile is very sincere, Let a person see to be able to have a good impression, not a bit domineering and domineering arrogance.
At this moment, Li Tianlan didn't know that today's meeting was another kind of love enemy meeting. However, because of the preconceived concept instilled in him by Ning Qiancheng, Wang Xiaoyao, who is so low-key and modest, is more alert in his heart. In his feeling, such a person is definitely more dangerous than that kind of arrogant and overbearing person.
"Sit down."
Wang Xiaoyao patted Li Tianlan's shoulder at random, and the action was natural: "you are Yuetong's friend, and that's not an outsider. Don't be nervous."
Li Tianlan doesn't talk much. He sits down beside Wang Yuetong. In his perception, not only Wang Xiaoyao is looking at himself, but also the old Taoist xuanzi opposite Wang Xiaoyao. His eyes seem to stay on him for a little longer. Li Tianlan turns to look at him and nods slightly.
"Do you believe in destiny?"
Xuanzi, who had been observing Li Tianlan, suddenly asked with a smile in a mild tone.
However, Li Tianlan did not dare to be careless. Zhongzhou has a vast territory and abundant resources. There are countless strange people. Although metaphysics is classified as superstition, the real masters of metaphysics may not really exist.
His grandfather once told him that in Zhongzhou, there are several semi immortal characters who can see through the fate of others in spite of the dust of the game. Xuanzi in front of him is regarded as the guest of honor by the Wang family of Beihai. Although Li Tianlan doesn't know whether he has the ability to see through his own destiny, he can be sure that the other party is definitely not a charlatan.
"Believe it or not."
Li Tianlan was silent for a long time, but his tone was cautious.
"It should be."
Xuanzi's smile became more and more amiable. He stared at Li Tianlan's face seriously, and his interest became more and more strong. He said again: "little friend, everyone has destiny. If you don't mind, give Lao Dao your left hand and listen to Lao Dao's nagging about your destiny?"
Wang Xiaoyao was stunned.
Wang Yuetong has some surprises in her eyes, which is why she brought Li Tianlan here recently.
Xuanzi is a real Taoist wizard and master of metaphysics. It is said that his eyes can not only see through the cause and effect of heaven and earth, but also manipulate some national fortune. Therefore, not only the Wang family of Beihai regarded him as the guest of honor, but also several power giants of yinlonghai, the power center of Zhongzhou, treated him with courtesy. Almost all the words of such a wizard were with the effect of prophecy.
Wang Yuetong went to sky college this time to explore talents for the Wang family of Beihai. Li Tianlan is her most important goal. It's not only because of his double pulse of wind and thunder, but also because of his way of life. Wang Yuetong also sincerely appreciates and even has some good feelings. If such a character joins the Wang family of Beihai, once he enters the invincible realm, even the thunderbolt realm in the future, The strength of the whole Beihai Wang family will be greatly increased.
Now xuanzi comes to Huating. Wang Yuetong brings Li Tianlan to see his fate. As long as he can give some advice, he can speed up the growth of Li Tianlan again.
For Li Tianlan, this is tantamount to kindness, and it is also tantamount to making him closer to the Wang family in Beihai.
Wang Yuetong was originally thinking about how to tell xuanzi that he was interested in Li Tianlan, which was just the best.
Li Tianlan seems to have some accidents, but there is no reason to refuse. Even if the other party can really see through his fate, he doesn't believe that the other party can really see clearly his origin. He ponders a little, extends his left hand directly to xuanzi, and sincerely says: "thank you, Taoist priest."
Xuanzi nodded with a smile, narrowed his clear eyes and looked closely.
Li Tianlan waited quietly.
Wang Yuetong sat beside him, his hands intertwined, looking even more nervous than Li Tianlan.
Wang Xiaoyao, who noticed this detail, frowned, but didn't say much.
Xuanzi watched for nearly five minutes. Just when Li Tianlan thought he was asleep, he moved his body, raised his eyes, looked at Li Tianlan, and said with a smile: "prosperity will decline. I'm afraid that Xiaoyou experienced a lot of hardships when he was young. If Lao Dao didn't walk away, about a year ago, Xiaoyou had just experienced a life and death disaster. I don't know if Lao Dao was right?"
Li Tianlan subconsciously grasped his left hand, his face changed dramatically.
In this way, there was no need for him to confirm anything, which already showed xuanzi's accuracy.
Xuanzi didn't see all this, so he continued: "the next thing is to have a bright future. After Xiaoyou graduated from sky college, I suggest you go to Wuyue for development. Wuyue has Wang Qi. If you can have a foothold in Wuyue, you will have no regrets in this life. Looking at Xiaoyou's palms, Xiaoyou's life style has become for the rest of his life. It can be said that he is extremely lucky and has a proud atmosphere. "
Wang Xiaoyao instinctively squints his eyes, his eyes are cold, and his killing chance is flashing.
He didn't doubt xuanzi's words, but two of them touched the most sensitive part of his heart.
The first is Wu Yue.
Wuyue province is now the most prosperous and powerful province in Zhongzhou. Jinling, the provincial capital, is very close to Huating. More importantly, the whole Wuyue province can be said to be the back garden of Wang family in Beihai. Its firmness is second only to Beihai province.
Wuyue is the place where the Wang family of Beihai first flourished. It's OK for Li Tianlan to join the Wang family of Beihai, but if he doesn't join, where will he base his foothold in Wuyue and put the Wang family of Beihai?
The second is because of the weather.
Tianjiao was born in Zhongzhou five hundred years ago. The so-called Tianjiao must have a profound influence on the dark world. For example, hundreds of years ago, Beihai Wang, the ancestor who rose in Wuyue after his family was desolate, brought Beihai Wang to the peak.
The first master of the dark world is not necessarily Tianjiao, but Tianjiao must be the first master of the dark world.
Tianjiao out, catastrophe, Tianjiao should rob, who should Tianjiao?
This is also from xuanzi's mouth. What he said is obvious.
Wang Xiaoyao looks at Li Tianlan and Wang Yuetong, who is a little excited in his eyes. His expression changes. At last, he hides all the murders and recovers his peace again.
Li Tianlan looked at xuanzi seriously and said respectfully, "thank you for your guidance."
Xuanzi smiles and waves his hand. Just as he wants to speak, Li Tianlan's phone rings suddenly.
Li Tianlan a Leng, then toward a few people apologetically smile, went to one side to pick up the phone.
"I went to find something to eat. My elder martial brother and I didn't have breakfast and starved to death."
Wang Yue Tong said a, also stand up to leave.
Only Wang Xiaoyao and xuanzi were left in the pavilion again.
There was a moment of silence.
Xuanzi looked at Wang Xiaoyao thoughtfully, and suddenly said with a smile: "Xiaoyao just moved his intention to kill?"
Wang Xiaoyao didn't hide it. He gave a wry smile and made a default.
"No need at all."
Xuanzi said in a low voice: "standing in the position of Wang family in Beihai, I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise you may make a fool of yourself."
"What do you mean by that?"
Wang Xiaoyao sat up straight subconsciously and asked.
"Literally."
Xuanzi said with a smile: "in ten years, this son is very lucky. If you can get close to him, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages."
"Within ten years?"
Wang Xiaoyao frowned. He could listen to every word of xuanzi and think seriously: "what should I do after ten years?"
Xuanzi lowered his eyelids and said calmly, "ten years later, he will surely die."
Lao Dao stretched out his hand, pinched a piece on the chessboard, rubbed it gently, sighed and said: "magnificent, a sad song, it's a pity."
