Chapter 374 Dinner
On the streets of the university town, various restaurants are the most popular.From BBQ, stir-fry to all kinds of stews, steamed dishes.Especially on Sunday, there are not enough seats in the small restaurant.However, the owner of the largest Songhelou restaurant here always reserves a private room for Professor Xiao.One reason is that he is a frequent visitor here, and the other reason is that Professor Xiao is popular and has a better drinking capacity.

Hearing that Fan Jiannan wanted to invite him to dinner, Professor Xiao went to this Songhe Tower with them.Despite the small size of the place, the chefs here cook authentic Shandong cuisine.Good at popping, burning, frying and frying.The dishes are clear, fresh, crisp and tender.And Professor Xiao is indeed from Shandong.

Jiuzhuan large intestine, Sixi meatballs, Sai crab, plus Jinan's traditional vegetables to make good use of clear soup and milk soup.Not only Professor Xiao ate with gusto, but even Fan Jiannan, a well-known diner, couldn't fault it.

Professor Xiao poured a glass of wine and said with a smile, "As soon as I heard that Xiao Fan was going to treat guests, I knew that I must have something to ask for. I deliberately didn't say anything, and waited to see when you asked. The wine was almost drunk Halfway through, you didn't even say a word. It hooked my curiosity. Tell me, what is it?"

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that I'm going back to Hong Kong in two days. It's rare to get together with Professor Xiao. It's just a casual chat."

Professor Xiao laughed and said, "I believe what other people say. You, Fan Jiannan, I don't believe a word. I know you won't come to me if you have nothing to do. Say it, say it... Long Bold is much more straightforward than you , if you didn't keep giving him winks, I'm afraid he would have asked a long time ago. Hahaha..."

"Just tell me, Professor Xiao can't help being curious." Feng Yuan smiled and pushed Fan Jiannan.

"Since you all said that, I'll say it. In fact, I want to ask Professor Xiao some questions." Fan Jiannan touched his nose helplessly.

"I knew a long time ago that you didn't invite this meal for nothing, just tell me." Professor Xiao said with a smile.

Fan Jiannan nodded and said in silence for a while, "Professor Xiao, a man of five arts, is no stranger to Chinese arts. But I don't know if Professor Xiao has heard of Liujiaxun."

The smile on Professor Xiao's face froze slightly, then he shook his head and said, "Liujiaxun? Why did you get involved with them?"

Fan Jiannan looked at Professor Xiao and said, "Professor Xiao knows these people?"

Professor Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I knew a little about these people in Liujiaxun before, but now? It should be unlikely to exist."

Fan Jiannan was slightly taken aback and said, "It can't exist, why?"

"Liujiaxun is relative to the Wushu people. In fact, they were once a major branch of the Chinese art world. It can be said that in addition to the Wushu people, the ancient Chinese art world is Liujiaxun. The Wushu people are hidden in the rivers and lakes. Among them, and Liujiaxun hides behind the court. These two groups of people jointly inherit the magic techniques handed down from ancient times." Professor Xiao took a sip of wine when he said this.

"What happened later?" Feng Yuan asked curiously.

"The last appearance of Liujiaxun was after the complete disintegration of the Qing Dynasty. Japan supported the last emperor Puyi in the northeast and established the Puppet Manchukuo State. This led to the final split of Liujiaxun. Surgeons, a fundamental conflict has occurred.

According to unofficial historical records, the two sides have fought several wars.Almost all Liujia Xun elites suffered casualties, and the remaining Liujia Xun practitioners all retired.As a result, the later practitioners only knew Wushu people, but not Liujiaxun.However, these things happened in that turbulent era. Many facts were covered up by the gunfire of the war, and not many people knew the truth.I'm just hearing it too. Professor Xiao sighed.

"It is said that back then, Liujia Xun's practitioners were even more prosperous than those of Wushu. And they seem to have made more discoveries in the study of magic." Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Of course, at that time, most of the Liujia Xunshu practitioners were employed by the royal family. Compared with Wushu people, they had a better environment to do metaphysics research. That is to say, they enjoyed more resources at that time. Therefore, they There is also a reason to be more prosperous than the Wushu people. However, after the decline of the imperial power, this branch of magicians is also going to the end. I have not heard of them for many years." Professor Xiao nodded.

"Since they were so famous in the past, then, does Professor Xiao know their legend about the number of days?" Fan Jiannan whispered.

"Number of days..." Professor Xiao was startled again, he glanced at Fan Jiannan and said, "You met a descendant of Liujiaxun?"

"Yes, they are very down and down now. It seems that there are only six magicians in charge of Liujia, and some of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. The prosperity of the past will never be seen again." Fan Jiannan sighed.

"You didn't have any conflicts, did you? I remember that Liujiaxun didn't seem to have a good impression of Wushu people. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies." Professor Xiao frowned.

"That's not true. After all, many years have passed, even if there is hatred, it should fade away." Fan Jiannan said with a smile.

"I remember one thing about the number of days you mentioned. "Xi Ci 25" believes that the sum of "days" is 55, the sum of "earth numbers" is [-], and the sum of heaven and earth is [-]. Its changes have put All the truths in the world are included.

From this, the idealistic system of "Milun Heaven and Earth Way" was established.Dong Zhongshu, a Han Confucianist, started from the mysterious "God's Will", and called man the epitome of "Heaven", and the copy was called "Human Vice-Tian", saying: "The body of a person is formed by turning the number of heaven." Professor Xiao frowned, "That is The so-called harmony between man and nature.This is indeed what the people of Liujiaxun proposed. "

Long boldly couldn't help but said, "Jiannan, I wanted to ask you just now. You saw them yesterday, did they only tell you about the number of days?"

"No! There are more, but they believe that the ancient plate is related to the number of days. Deciphering the mysterious number of days is the key to solving another matter." Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Decipher the number of days?" Professor Xiao frowned, "I'm not very clear about this. I did get some words about the number of days from some historical materials, but what is the number of days, I am afraid that even some contemporary masters of the mystical arts have no idea. There is no unified understanding. Oh, wrong, in fact, you are the real masters of profound arts."

"What number of days are they going to use to solve another matter? So what exactly is this matter?" Long hesitated boldly and said, "Maybe we can use this matter to deduce the essence of the number of days."

"That's a big deal. They think that after two years, the world of magic will be completely destroyed. No one can have magic anymore, no one can use magic anymore. Only one person will completely replace the power of all magicians And the people in Liujiaxun are trying their best to avoid this from happening. They are pinning their hopes on that ancient plate." Fan Jiannan said flatly.

Professor Xiao was startled suddenly, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
