Chapter 166
Fan Jiannan took a shower in the bathroom, changed into new clothes after washing up, and then wandered out.

At this time, Feng Yuan was getting impatient for waiting, and complained, "It is said that women spend time getting ready when they go out, make up and try on clothes. Why are you slower than women? I haven't been bothered by you until now." How about eating, dare to hurry up."

Fan Jiannan laughed and said, "Men and women are the same, and women are the ones who please themselves. Shouldn't I tidy it up so that you, Miss Feng, don't lose your appetite after reading it?"

"Tch, it's the same if you clean up again. But you're so lazy and sleepy. You get angry when you think about it, and you make us hungry. No matter, you have to make it up to me. Have you thought about what to treat me to today?" Feng Yuan smiled and held his arm and said.

"Of course it's authentic Sichuan cuisine. Dr. Long will go with us." Fan Jiannan greeted Long Daudao with a smile.

Long boldly smiled and said, "You go, I eat breakfast late in the morning. I'm not like some people, she can't eat until you get up. I just go out for a walk, so I won't be making light bulbs. Maybe I will I can have an affair, meet a Sichuan girl or something."

"Oh, you're just out of luck." Fan Jiannan laughed.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Feng Yuan pulled him and ran outside.

"Where are you going?" Fan Jiannan asked with a wry smile.

Feng Yuan stared and said, "Of course I go to the restaurant for dinner, where else can I go?"

Fan Jiannan sighed, "You really don't know how to play or eat. In Chongqing, you can't eat in this kind of big restaurant. Do you know why?"

Feng Yuan asked strangely, "Why?"

Fan Jiannan said seriously, "Chongqing cuisine, that is Jianghu cuisine, you have to eat the taste of the market. Maoxuewang, spicy chicken, camphor tea duck, you must have a small restaurant to have an authentic taste. Come with me."

The two found an authentic small restaurant. Although the restaurant was small, it was an authentic Sichuan cuisine cook.Twice-cooked pork, fish-flavored pork shreds, and Yu-flavored deer tendon, Fan Jiannan ordered a large table unceremoniously.He has made up his mind to go back and take advantage of Boss Du, and he will ask Boss Du to reimburse him for all his trips out to eat, drink and have fun.With this kind of rich people, Fan Jiannan was never polite.It happened that Feng Yuan was also a foodie, and he was never sloppy when it came to eating and drinking.

The two ordered a large table of dishes, which made the proprietress of the restaurant feel dazed. "Is this enough to eat? It's such a waste, this young couple can't eat enough?" What made her even more surprised was that these two people actually ate up all the food on the big table.Of course Feng Yuan didn't eat much, he ate a little of every dish, and Fan Jiannan wiped out the rest.

After Fan Jiannan gnawed the last piece of duck neck, he asked her to add two vegetables to a large bowl of rice.Not only the lady proprietress of the restaurant was completely stunned, but the young man was so good at eating.Even Feng Yuan felt embarrassed.Quietly said to Fan Jiannan, "You eat so much, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Fan Jiannan wiped his mouth and said, "I don't know why, but I feel very hungry all of a sudden. I'm still barely full." In fact, he knew that his illness seemed to have started yesterday, consuming a lot of his energy .When I woke up in the morning, I almost fainted from hunger.But in front of Long Bold and Feng Yuan, he still pretended to be nothing.

Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "You're about to become a fool."

"How are you? After eating, I'll take you somewhere." Fan Jiannan wiped his mouth with a tissue and said.

"Where are you going?" Feng Yuan asked strangely.

"Of course I went to play? Didn't you always want to see the Eighteen Arhats and the Immortal Cave?" Fan Jiannan said with a smile.

"Yes. But isn't it too late now? It's past three o'clock. And I didn't bring my camera when I went out to eat." Feng Yuan hesitated.

Fan Jiannan greeted the proprietress to check out, while smiling mysteriously, "Because I suddenly have a hunch that today we will meet interesting people and things."

How clever Feng Yuan was, he immediately understood, and said in a low voice, "You mean a sorcerer, that Wu Huaisha?"

"I don't know if it's the person we're looking for. But someone is indeed here for us." Fan Jiannan mused.

"Should I ask Shanglong to be bold?" Feng Yuan asked worriedly.

"No. Let's see the situation first." Fan Jiannan shook his head, "It's very strange. The person in the hexagram should have come for us, but he has nothing to do with him. That's why I suspect that this person is not Wu Huaisha The reason. That’s why Long Bold didn’t come with us, and I didn’t force him.”

"The person on the hexagram is related to us?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

"Are you going to continue asking me questions here, or follow me to find out the truth now?" Fan Jiannan said helplessly.Feng Yuan chose the latter almost without hesitation.

Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan arrived between the Green Lion and White Elephant Rock in the east of the town and the group of stone piers that looked like human figures.There are not many tourists here, and it seems somewhat desolate.This place used to be the site of the White Lotus Sect uprising, and Fan Jiannan had a vague feeling that there was some kind of special connection between this place and the people of the Wu clan.Especially the eighteen stone piers known as the Eighteen Arhats.

These stones are severely weathered, and the original shape cannot be seen.Fan Jiannan's hand lightly touched these stone piers with different shapes but the same rough surface, a faint trace of mana passed through his fingertips and dissipated along the rough surface of these stone piers.To his surprise, these stones did not show any traces of mana left.But he was right when he thought about it again, the witch family's skills are different from those of Wushu people.Even if these ruins are indeed related to the Wu family, they may not be able to find clues from the magic power.

"Hey, what are you doing? Feeling around on these stones." Feng Yuan asked strangely.

Fan Jiannan smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little strange. The distribution of these stone piers is not surprising at all, and there is no trace of magic power left. If there were real witches in the White Lotus Sect in ancient times, these things seem to be very important. He doesn't make much sense either. Why keep these stone piers if they don't make sense? It's puzzling."

"It's said in the travel introduction that this is the Eighteen Arhats. It probably looks a bit like it. I remember that the White Lotus Sect also believes in Buddhism, right?" Feng Yuan said casually.

"White Lotus? This may be the weirdest, most mysterious and messy religion in Chinese history. I checked some information, and this sect is like a hybrid of Buddhism, Taoism and Manichaeism, with some folk beliefs mixed in. Throughout the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, they were banned by the court many times and rebelled many times. But they also seem to believe in Buddhism, and it is said that they worship Maitreya Buddha." Fan Jiannan pondered.

Feng Yuan smiled and said, "That's right. It happens that there are eighteen stone piers here, so it's not surprising that they will become eighteen arhats. Why are you bothering about this? If there are three stones, maybe they will become three Taoists." Qing. There are many such things in history, and it’s just a group of peasant rebels trying to make a big splash.”

Fan Jiannan's expression suddenly changed, as if he remembered something, he murmured, "Eighteen? Eighteen..."

Feng Yuan smiled and said, "What are you thinking of again? You're chattering over there."

Fan Jiannan's eyes lit up, and he asked her back, "Let me ask you, what is the special meaning of the number eighteen?"

Feng Yuan was stunned and said, "Eighteen is eighteen, is there any special meaning?"

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "As a hexagram teacher, I will fail you. Think about the number eighteen again, what does it represent?"

Feng Yuan thought for a while and said, "As for the hexagram technique, eighteen... I know, in terms of hexagram theory and mathematics, it corresponds to the hexagram of heaven and earth. It means the reversal of heaven and earth. Xiang said: Heaven and earth do not communicate, no. A gentleman avoids difficulties with thrift and virtue, but cannot be honored and rewarded. Heaven and earth cannot communicate with each other, and all things cannot be suffocated. Is this the hexagram of the hexagram."

Fan Jiannan continued to ask, "Heaven and Earth are not hexagrams, how to solve them?"

Feng Yuan explained, "Being separated by villains is not good for a gentleman's divination, and his career will turn from prosperity to decline. A gentleman observes this hexagram, so when the country's politics is blocked, he should think of living in seclusion and not being an official. Advocate frugality to avoid disasters, don't be proud of profit and wealth. Bad luck: those who get this hexagram, everything is blocked, up and down are not in harmony, everything is not going well, everything is patient, and you have to wait for the luck to improve to do something.”

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "It seems that you have studied well. You can barely pass."

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "You mean, this may be the hexagram technique of the White Lotus Sect back then? Seeing that the rebellion failed, they chose to live in seclusion and avoid disaster by advocating thrift? They are very mysterious, and they refuse to let others know their identities. Even people in this ancient town avoid mentioning them."

Fan Jiannan laughed and said, "You have passed the test completely, and your reaction is quite fast, you can think of it all."

Feng Yuan said proudly, "That's right, I'm a modern beauty divination teacher. These things can be guessed with a little association. Didn't you say that the so-called divination master is good at observation, careful calculation and bold assumptions. I How are you learning? Hehe."

Fan Jiannan shook his head, "These alone are not enough to explain anything, there is a deeper level. You have actually said this point just now, no. The meaning of this hexagram is indeed the opposite. Yes, now it is wrong, what was wrong before is now right. I was not sure at first, but now I know, the person we are looking for is not here, but in another direction!"

Feng Yuan said in surprise, "Another direction? This is the east of the town, you mean that person is in the north of the town!"

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "This person is by no means simple, and he was able to make me draw wrong hexagrams. I don't know how he did it, but my hexagrams yesterday did confirm that he is here. If it wasn't for these few Inspired by a stone pier. I would never have thought that he would be able to influence my hexagram and make me go to the exact opposite."

Feng Yuan said in a daze, "But how is this possible? How can a person be so powerful that he can influence the hexagram?"

Fan Jiannan sighed, "The power of a person should never be underestimated, as long as this person is strong enough. Don't you forget that Po Jun, he made you and me draw two completely different hexagrams. This is a very clever No matter who this person is, I think he is now waiting for us in the Xianren Cave in the north of the town."
