Pure Yang!

Chapter 324 The Rat is coming! Zhang Fan is no longer the same as before
Early morning, Hongfu Garden, rooftop.

The waning moon had not yet set, and the sun was rising. The sun and the moon shone together, and the gold and silver colors splashed on Zhang Fan's body. One could faintly see the ups and downs of his pores.

Three feet above his head, his soul sat cross-legged without moving, allowing the golden and silver light to flow in and out, as if inhaling and exhaling, as if breathing.

Rumble…

A strange wave emanated from Zhang Fan, layer upon layer, almost covering the entire Hongfu Garden.

At the security room at the entrance, Liu Fusheng leaned his head out and looked at the highest point of the building where Zhang Fan was. A deep solemnity welled up in his eyes under his reading glasses.

At this moment, a person with such cultivation as him seemed to see a high mountain rising proudly from the sky, stretching from north to south and from east to west, with an aura of Taoism, as if it came from the orthodox Xuanmen.

"Longhu Mountain..."

Liu Fusheng murmured softly. As the Six-Fingered Demon, who had become famous throughout the world more than ten years ago, he naturally recognized the atmosphere of the first Taoist sect.

"After all, he is the son of the clan leader. He is the one who continues the incense of the Nan Zhang family."

Liu Fusheng couldn't help but sigh, he withdrew from the window and started eating buns and soy milk.

At this moment, on the rooftop, the empty atmosphere slowly dissipated, and Zhang Fan's soul returned to his body. His eyes slowly opened, and there was a hint of clarity in the deep darkness, as if the practice just now had made his spirit much stronger.

"What you just cultivated was not the Holy Embryo of Gods and Demons."

At this moment, a familiar and pleasant voice came from not far away. Where the sunlight fell, a graceful figure slowly walked out. It was Li Miaoyin.

"It's early enough." Zhang Fan took a glance, slowly stood up and stretched his limbs.

"That's the meditation method my father taught me. It's not some mysterious skill or magical power."

"The method of meditation!?" Li Miaoyin seemed to understand something.

In Taoism, there is a practice called "Cunsi", which is a method of purifying the body and mind, cleansing thoughts, returning to a natural state, and thus comprehending the state of unity with Tao.

For example, contemplating the sun, moon, stars, the immortals and gods in the sky, etc.

Just this one thought can stop all other thoughts, and eventually even this one thought will disappear. That is thoughtlessness, the true state of inaction.

"What we practice is the Dharma, but what we meditate on is the Tao. People in the world are ignorant and waste too much time and energy on magical powers and techniques, but they don't know that if they hear the Tao in the morning, they will achieve the Dharma in the evening." Zhang Fan murmured softly.

"What a big tone! Is it you who said that?" Li Miaoyin looked at Zhang Fan with a different look in her eyes.

I have to say that since returning from the Shiwandashan Mountains, this man has indeed become a little different from before.

"That's not what I said." Zhang Fan chuckled and shook his head: "That's what my dad said. I haven't reached that level yet."

"The King of the Great Spiritual Sect!" Li Miaoyin seemed to be thinking about something. She naturally knew a lot about Zhang Fan's family situation.

"The method of meditation you practice is very special. Can you teach it to me?" Li Miaoyin looked straight at Zhang Fan with a hint of cunning in her eyes.

"You are so rude." Zhang Fan smiled and then shook his head.

"You should also learn the method of meditation, which is actually very similar."

Lao Tzu said, "Abandon sagehood and discard wisdom."

What is a saint? The greatest achievement of merit, a model for the world.

The role models that people learn from and emulate, in other words, are artificially constructed standards that are judged by the conscious mind and are created artificially. They are far from the true way of nature and deviate from their true nature.

Only by letting go of all judgments and thoughts and stopping all thoughts can we gradually return to our natural true self.

This is also the core concept of the method of meditation, just like the way the butcher cuts up an ox, his skill is close to the Tao, and in the end the butcher, the knife, and the ox become one, without any difference, as chaotic as the beginning of time, and are just a part of nature.

This is the highest state of meditation.

Stop thinking and stop brooding, just focus on the profound skills. Don’t ask about what happened in the cave over the past thousand years, and when you look back, you are already traveling freely.

"Then will you teach me? I can also teach you my method of meditation." Li Miaoyin said directly.

"Haven't you always wanted to test my abilities?"

"..."

"Sorry, my dad said that our family's method of meditation will not be passed on to outsiders. Back then, my mom learned it after she married my dad." Zhang Fan chuckled.

This method of meditation was inherited from Longhu and passed down to the direct descendants of Nan Zhang. Everyone in their family knows it.

"You won't pass it on to outsiders, right?" Li Miaoyin said in a serious tone, "Just wait, sooner or later I'll ask you to teach me."

"Huh!?" Zhang Fan was stunned.

"I'm hungry."

"Come on, I'll treat you to some buns." Zhang Fan said.

“I don’t like eating buns.”

"What about tofu pudding?"

"Okay, do you like sweet or salty tofu pudding?"

"Salty."

"Then we can eat together."

The two talked and laughed all the way as they walked down the rooftop and out of the community.

When passing by the security room at the door, Liu Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes blurred, as if something was rushing past him.

He suddenly leaned forward and looked at the receding backs of Zhang Fan and Li Miaoyin. He was stunned at first, then he smiled meaningfully.

"Xiao Fan has really made great progress. His magical power has reached such a high level that he can even bring a girl home to spend the night."

"The Zhang family has a successor."

As he spoke, he withdrew his body, and with his appetite whetted, he ate another bun.

Around seven in the morning, the breakfast stalls in the old city were almost all filled with students going to school. It seemed a bit awkward for two "big friends" Zhang Fan and Li Miaoyin to sit inside.

Zhang Fan was eating tofu pudding with his head down while looking at his phone and scrolling through his Moments.

"Who are you paying attention to so early?" Li Miaoyin took a glance and asked lightly.

"Do you want to take a look?"

As he spoke, Zhang Fan placed his phone on the table, with his circle of friends displayed on the screen.

"I don't want to see your circle of friends, I want to see your blacklist." Li Miaoyin raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Blacklist? Why?" Zhang Fan asked in astonishment.

“Not all people in your circle of friends are friends, but there are always old friends on the blacklist,” Li Miaoyin said meaningfully.

"you win."

Zhang Fan remained silent and continued to eat tofu pudding with his head down.

When he broke up with Xu Zhixia, they did block each other, but they later met and let each other go after reuniting.

drop by drop...

At this moment, a message popped up on the phone.

Zhang Fan opened it and his eyes suddenly froze. It was a letter from Meng Qiwu, and it was burned after reading.

"The people of Haozi have already gone to Yujing."

It was a simple message that was automatically destroyed after Zhang Fan read it for three seconds.

"Someone is finally here." Zhang Fan sighed inwardly.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of becoming Chao Ran's closed disciple to provide a layer of protection for himself and Zhang Lingzong. After all, that was the invincible Pure Yang Zhenren.

Unfortunately, Xia Weisheng brought bad news. He was not the last disciple of Master Chaoran.

In this case, Zhang Fan can only seek external assistance and allies.

Among the thirteen zodiac signs, the rat is a good choice. The human sign is dormant, and the dragon is big enough to threaten its position.

Lin Jianyue said that among the thirteen zodiac signs, the rat is the most mysterious. Even the oldest one, the Rooster Jin Maori, who had even seen the Taoist Three Corpses, is very secretive about it and is extremely wary of it.

It was for this reason that Zhang Fan wanted to get in touch with the Rat. If he could work together inside and outside to get rid of the Dragon, then he would have eliminated a major threat to their family.

"Whose news? I can't even hold back my smile."

Li Miaoyin's voice brought Zhang Fan back to his senses.

"Nothing, let's eat." Zhang Fan chuckled.

"When can you treat me to a good meal?" Li Miaoyin asked.

"Lunch is too formal, dinner is too decadent, only breakfast is full of true love."

As he spoke, Zhang Fan raised his hand and said, "Boss, another bowl of tofu pudding here."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Fan looked at Li Miaoyin and said, "Don't worry, there's plenty of tofu pudding!"

"..."

Near noon, Guangming Hotel.

Zhang Fan sat in the hotel lobby, waiting for Fang Changle and the Qi brothers.

Since Zishu's people were coming to Yujing, he naturally had to ask these two Taoist descendants for some information about them.

Zhang Fan must be cautious when dealing with such people.

Whether it is Lin Jianyue or Meng Qiwu, one can tell from their tone that this Rat is not only mysterious, but also very resourceful and acts secretively and low-key.

This time when he came to Yujing to discuss such a big matter, he did not show up in person, but sent people instead. This shows how cautious he is. No wonder no one has seen his true body for so many years.

Of course, it is also possible that this kind of existence simply looks down on Zhang Fan and sends people here just to establish a good relationship and keep an opportunity.

"Chenlong Zhang Nanfeng..."

Zhang Fan seemed to be lost in thought, and the image of the beautiful woman with the cinnabar mole appeared in his mind.

This man has mastered the Five Elements King, and obtained the True Dragon Horn, one of the nine weapons in the Ten Thousand Mountains. He is like a tiger with wings. If you really want to kill him, I am afraid that even the Rat line may not be enough.

"We still need to find strong foreign aid." Zhang Fan murmured.

"Zhang Fan..."

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the side, bringing Zhang Fan back to his senses.

"Um!?"

Zhang Fan looked up and was stunned for a moment, then a beautiful figure came into his sight.

"Xu Zhixia!"

Only half a month had passed since they parted in Jingjiang City. Xu Zhixia had become much thinner and looked extremely haggard. When she saw Zhang Fan again, she was filled with mixed emotions.

Xu Zhixia had feelings for Zhang Fan, but in Jingjiang City, Zhang Fan killed Xu Changnian and Xu Banshan in succession, killing people without any taboos.

However, at the last moment, he let her go.

At this time, Xu Zhixia's attitude towards Zhang Fan was extremely complicated.

"What a coincidence, you are here?" Zhang Fan asked casually.

He knew that the Xu family had considerable assets in Yujing City and throughout the entire Jiangnan Province.

After all, Xu Zhixia went to college in Yujing City, so she was naturally more familiar with this place than the average Xu family member.

"Next month, Zhenwu Mountain's Chao Ran Zhenren will hold a disciple-recruiting ceremony. I will follow my family to Jiangnan Province to buy gifts."

Xu Zhixia wanted to leave immediately, but facing Zhang Fan's concern, she couldn't help but answer.

"Oh, I see." Zhang Fan nodded.

The biggest event in the entire Taoist world right now is that Master Chaoran is accepting disciples. As a Pure Yang family, the Xu family is naturally among the invited ones, and they will go into the mountain to watch the ceremony on the same day.

As the last disciple of Master Chaoran, this gift must of course be carefully prepared.

That day, the whole world will be paying attention and people from all over will come to congratulate.

"Zhang Fan, you have changed."

Xu Zhixia looked at Zhang Fan, and the past events kept emerging in her mind. The Zhang Fan at that time was completely different from the one now.

"People change all the time."

"The only thing that remains unchanged in this world is that everything is changing." Zhang Fan said lightly.

"Like between us?" Xu Zhixia interjected.

"Let's not talk about the past." Zhang Fan sighed.

Things in this world are indeed impermanent.

At the beginning, he had not yet recovered his soul and had just broken up. He was reluctant to let go and felt like he was in a love disaster, falling into pain and confusion.

But now, the two people's positions seem to have been reversed.

"Zhixia."

At this moment, a clear and slightly majestic voice was heard.

Zhang Fan looked up and saw an elegant woman walking towards him. She was dressed decently and elegantly, with a slender figure, fair skin, delicate features, and looked to be no more than 30 years old. Although she took good care of herself, her eyes revealed a sophistication of time.

"Mom." Xu Zhixia saw the person coming and hurriedly went to greet him, his expression becoming a little nervous.

"Ah."

The woman hummed softly, but her eyes fell on Zhang Fan.

"Xiao Zhang, right? We meet again." Wei Qingshuang said lightly, with the majesty of a superior in her eyes.

This was not the first time she met Zhang Fan.

At the beginning, when she just graduated from college, she went to see Zhang Fan. There was no melodramatic check for five million, only advice that sounded like an order.

According to this noble lady, Zhang Fan's background was such that he couldn't even enter the Xu family, so leaving her daughter was the best and only option.

This is not a discussion, this is a suggestion. Rather than coming from someone who has had experience, it is more like advice from a superior.

At that time, Zhang Fan didn't even have the qualifications to refuse.

It was on that day that he completely lost contact with Xu Zhixia.

"Yes, life is full of opportunities and opportunities. Here we meet again." Zhang Fan sighed.

"Xiao Zhang, you promised me that you would never see Zhixia again." Wei Qingshuang said lightly.

She spoke politely, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes as she stared at Zhang Fan.

Obviously, she didn't like the people below her going back on their words, which was a provocative act to her authority.

"Mom..." Xu Zhixia was anxious. She looked at Zhang Fan, a hint of worry and even fear flashed in her eyes.

"Auntie, you are a person who has seen the world, how come you have become so childish? In this world, only the things that you can decide for yourself count." Zhang Fan said lightly.

After hearing this, Wei Qingshuang was stunned for a moment. She felt that the young man in front of her was a little different from the first time she met him. However, after a brief moment of shock, a hint of anger welled up in the eyes of this Mrs. Xu.

"Do you know who you're talking to?"

"Auntie, I call you Auntie only because my parents brought me up well. Besides, do you know who you are talking to?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fan raised his eyes slightly and they became cold. He stretched out his hand, as fast as lightning, and landed on Wei Qingshuang's brows. With a light hook, he arrested her soul.
