After the Immortal Disappeared

Chapter 615: Discussing the Imperial Master over Wine

"All kinds of exotic minerals and spiritual woods."

"I thought they were rare treasures, but they were raw materials." He Lingchuan stroked his chin. He was interested in anything related to the Ke family. "Does the Ke family have a jewelry industry and commissioned Dunyuan to find the source of goods?"

Which of these nobles in Lingxu City is not rich and has the most profitable and monopolistic business?

"Of course the Ke family also has a jewelry business, but this is not the point." Fang Canran pointed to the north, "These things are supplied over there."

North?

He Lingchuan looked north.

What is in the north? Xushan or the floating island?

"What is over there?"

When mentioning Xushan, He Lingchuan immediately remembered that on the day he followed the tour group to Tianshu Peak, Ke Yanming also took the teleportation array to the mountain, and the servants behind him were carrying several large boxes.

It was obvious that he was going to deliver something to Zhaixing Tower.

Fang Canran said slowly: "For a long time, the Ke family has to serve the mountains and swamps of Xushan."

This is well known in the upper circles of Lingxu City.

"Mountain..." He Lingchuan shook the cup, "The magma in Tianshu Peak?"

"Yes." Fang Canran nodded, "Only the Ke family can meet the requirements of Shanze. That's why they enjoy prosperity. Many people in Lingxu City want to replace them, but never succeed."

He Lingchuan suddenly realized: "There is such a powerful Shanze?"

No wonder, no wonder the last step before the completion of the Gathering Spirit Array, that is, before placing the array eye, the Emperor asked the Ke family to appease the Juju to sleep, because the things offered by his family are most pleasing to the rock fire monster, and it will enjoy it without any scruples.

"They are both swamps, but the ones in the deep mountains and old forests can only care for a few wild beasts and monsters, and basically no one worships them; while the swamps in Xushan can shake the whole Lingxu City. Do you think it has the capital?"

"The earthquake more than ten years ago?"

Fang Canran nodded: "Mr. He knows a lot about the old things in Lingxu City."

"Everything that happened here is a big deal, and it attracts the attention of the world."

He Lingchuan said, and his eyes subconsciously fell on his seal ring.

In terms of walking on the edge of life and death, he seems to be a little behind Shao Jian at present.

That man is walking around with the Xinglong Pillar, trying to make trouble for the gods and trying to poke holes in the gods.

Once the gods behind Lingxu City find out what he has done, they will probably catch him and skin him alive.

Fang Canran sat up straight and looked at the seal ring:

"Mr. He seems to be very concerned about this ring?"

This is a subconscious action, which shows that he attaches great importance to the following conversation.

Finally getting to the point, He Lingchuan looked calm: "Well, the style is very special, I also want to make one."

If he guessed correctly, this was the purpose of Fang Canran's visit today!

He Lingchuan also perked up.

This person is very careful, and he noticed it when he looked at the seal ring twice in Dunyuan.

But this also reflects that Fang Canran is very clear about the origin of the five-patterned spiral ring.

He wants to come over to test how much of the secret behind it He Lingchuan knows.

"This is the ancestor..."

"Many nobles in the West have the habit of wearing seal rings. In addition to being beautiful, it is also convenient for stamping." He Lingchuan clenched his fist, touched the table with his knuckles, and made a stamping gesture.

Fang Canran smiled slightly: "Not bad. Mr. He is young and has a wide range of knowledge."

"This kind of seal ring is passed down from generation to generation. How many years has Mr. Fang's one been passed down?"

"Counting from the ancestor who cast this seal ring?" Fang Canran pondered, "I'm afraid it's a hundred... Yes, it's more than one hundred and sixty years."

He Lingchuan's eyes flickered slightly.

It has indeed been more than 160 years since Shao Jian fled from Yuan Country and traveled around the world. Fang Canran remembered it very carefully.

But this is not normal.

People today do not live long. Some practitioners can barely reach 130 or 140 years old, but the average life span of ordinary people is less than 40. If they can live to 60, they should celebrate.

People who die early and have short life spans neither know nor care about things that happened several generations ago.

What is the name of my grandfather's grandfather? Most people can't answer.

It's not because they forget their ancestors, but because it is not easy to survive. People have to work hard for their livelihoods and can't spare any time.

Unless their descendants become rich and noble, they have to compile the family temple and genealogy.

But it is strange to remember the casting date of a ring as detailed as Fang Canran. Especially since he said that his ancestors lived a wandering life and settled in Lingxu City 60 years ago.

If people move around all the time, the history, traditions, and customs of the past will be easily lost.

This ring is not a rare treasure, why do the generations of the Fang family take the trouble to remember it?

The most important thing is that Fang Canran can speak with certainty, which is probably because the ancestors of each generation have kept this matter in mind and truly passed it down in an orderly manner.

Otherwise, how did Fang Canran, as a descendant of the later generations, know it?

He Lingchuan also looked at the seal ring: "The Fang family has been paying attention to this ring for more than 160 years."

Fang Canran smiled silently: "Yes."

"Does it have any special meaning to the Fang family?" Things passed down by ancestors may not necessarily be good, nor may they be valued by descendants.

"Meaning?" Fang Canran looked at He Lingchuan and said, "Is Mr. He also so curious when he sees other people's ancestral rings?"

"No, just this one." He Lingchuan shook his head, "I always feel like I have seen it somewhere, especially these five threads, it seems to have some meaning."

"What is the meaning?"

"It seems that different threads have different status and position."

"To be honest, the first ancestor of the Fang family once founded the Chamber of Commerce and used this seal ring as its seal. The business was very big, but few seal rings were issued." Fang Canran looked deeply, "Where is Master He? Have you ever seen this kind of signet ring?”

He Lingchuan thought hard for a while and then sighed sadly: "I just can't remember."

"Really?" Fang Canran didn't seem to take it seriously and just smiled, "Then if Mr. He remembers it in the future, please tell me."

He Lingchuan said repeatedly: "Of course, of course!"

Without mentioning the matter, the two of them chatted about the recent interesting events in Lingxu City. He Lingchuan's heart moved and he asked emphatically about the current situation of Imperial Master Qingyang.

"Grandmaster Qingyang attends many activities as usual. As far as I know, she donated a lot of money to the orphans of the meerkat tribe yesterday." Fang Canran said with a smile, "Has Mr. He met Grandmaster Qingyang?"

He Lingchuan shook his head: "No chance."

"For the Caohai event in a few days, Imperial Master Qingyang will probably go there." Fang Canran asked in a low voice, "I heard that there are clues in the case of the elixir pointing to Imperial Master Qingyang. Is this true or false?"

Of course, the details of the case will not be made public, but these powerful people have many ways to find out.

"The suspect who is currently on the run has a picture of Imperial Master Qingyang. He seems to have a relationship with Imperial Master Qingyang." He Lingchuan poured a glass of wine. "The follow-up of the case will be left to Bai Duzhi to continue the investigation."

He asked Fang Canran: "I heard that the four great imperial masters are headed by the imperial master Qingyang. She has been in office the longest?"

Fang Canran nodded: "When my first ancestor was still alive, she had already become Bejia's national preceptor. She was the youngest at the time, and now she is the eldest."

He Lingchuan was surprised: "She was already a national master more than 160 years ago?"

Fang Canran smiled: "Absolutely. Imperial Masters all live longer, Shuangye Grandmaster looks younger, there are only about 20 of them."

He Lingchuan was startled: "Hey, isn't it true that only the Imperial Masters of the Spring and Summer Palaces are human beings?"

"Yes, among the four national masters, there must be two great demons and two humans." Fang Canran explained, "Shuangye national master only looks like a human in appearance, but he is actually a demon."

"What kind of monster is it?" Fushan looks more like a human, but is actually a demon. But He Lingchuan heard that Bejia was so big that he only had two heads. No, it should be three heads now.

"I heard that it is an extremely rare monster, known as 'Du Su'." Fang Canran said with a smile, "The first national master in Bejia's history was also Du Su. They may be from the same family."

He Lingchuan wondered: "Anyone who can produce two national masters must be from a prominent Lingxu family."

Fang Canran waved his hand: "No, no. The first national master in the founding of the country had no heirs, and Du Su disappeared from the long river of history until Shuangye national master appeared. Monsters are different from humans. The more powerful the monster, the less fertile it is. It’s easy to cut off the generations. The current Shuangye Grandmaster has no descendants, and your Majesty is quite satisfied with this.”

"I see." To be honest, He Lingchuan was no less curious about Imperial Master Shuangye than Imperial Master Qingyang. "I heard that there seems to be some rift between Imperial Master Qingyang and Imperial Master Shuangye?"

"Gap" is too gentle to describe it. As far as He Lingchuan knew, they seemed eager to kill each other. Imperial Master Shuangye took in Imperial Master Qingyang's abandoned disciple Xi Yunhe, wasn't it just to deal with her?

"How can a high-ranking official be harmonious?" Fang Canran said with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether the country is big or small."

"What Mr. Fang said is true. But I originally thought that Grand Master Qingyang and Grand Master Shuangye would criticize each other in the case of the immortal medicine. But since I came to Lingxu City, there seems to be no movement in the Qing Palace." From Qing Gong’s thunderous wrath didn’t seem to appear.

"Still waters run deep. Chiyan and He Xiao, you will no longer be involved in the case, so you won't feel the undercurrent." Fang Canran said with a smile, "When you were handling the case in Baishalian, other celebrities and gentry could see you, Cen Boqing and others. A private confrontation?"

He Lingchuan thought for a while and shook his head.

When he was pursuing the case most closely, Cen Boqing called in the spell master Cheng Yu to take his life. Nightmare's method of killing is invisible, so how can others know about it?

Therefore, if Imperial Master Qingyang and Imperial Master Shuangye had a fight, many outsiders might not know it at all.

Fang Canran added: "Actually, the Qing Palace has already started to fight back. For example, in the major corruption case that broke out a few days ago, the Shaofu Prime Minister Jia Qingmin who was investigated had some contacts with Shuangye Imperial Master, and his nephew worked in the Qiu Palace. "

He Lingchuan understood: "Kill two birds with one stone."

At that time, Prince Huan had just come to Pan Shan's house to kill people and set fire to him, and the news was soon released. Now it seems that Qing Gong did it, on the one hand to divert public opinion, and on the other hand to retaliate against Shuangye Guoshi.
