Youyangju remains as before, a wooden structure of a small building, with notices posted on both sides of the entrance, and people coming and going sporadically.
Across the way, the tavern is still open, with layer upon layer of jars and bottles stacked up, and everything remains unchanged.
The big guy, Xu Jin, walked back and forth between the tables. He would scratch his head and laugh stupidly from time to time.
I walked straight to the front of the tavern and, upon entering, called out to Xu Jin.
Just as Xu Jin had stepped into the tavern owner's office, his body suddenly stiffened, and he turned around with a start, his eyes staring at me as if they were bell peppers.
My face was smiling and my demeanor didn't change.
Once Xu Jin appeared before me, he exerted a great deal of pressure on me, but now, I only feel that he is just an ordinary person who happens to be taller.
"It's closed today, no alcohol today." Xu Jin growled, the sound was huge, and the wine bottles on the counter even shook slightly.
The guests were clearly aware of Xu Jin's might and quickly got up, heading towards the tavern's exit.
Some people's eyes fell on my face, carrying a hint of confusion and contemplation.
There were a few people scattered, showing shocked expressions, and they were walking faster.
It's impossible to hide my visit to the Underworld Pavilion and Youyangju, my purpose is to stir up the waters in Jinyang during business hours. The more people who know about me, the more rumors will spread and the situation will find its way back to me.
The plague spirit's true form is not in Jinyang now, but there will be no shortage of other troubles. It is on this premise that Song Fang will reveal his fox's tail.
In a moment, there were no people left in the tavern.
Xu Jin took a big step towards me, and his fan-like big hand directly grabbed my shoulder. A trace of anger appeared on his chubby face.
I haven't appeared since I disappeared that day, and Xu Jin's anger is justified.
I stood still, I didn't dodge, and I didn't even try to catch Xu Jin's hand. When he grabbed my shoulder, he tried to pull me forward, but instead of pulling me, he stumbled towards me.
The bewildered expression appeared on Xu Jin's face, he blankly looked at me, and for a moment, he didn't respond.
"Long time no see," I said with a smile.
I was very cautious towards Youyangju because of my parents' affairs, and even had a strong dislike for it.
But now, it seems that the Youyangju of the past was also duped by Qin Wei and my parents. They didn't get more things, and my parents weren't lost in their hands. At most, they were grandiose, making many people misunderstood.
Xu Jin grunted softly, indicating that he tried to pull me but didn't succeed.
"Long... time... no... see..." This sentence was already very forced.
"I'd like to see your master. Can I ask you to get him?" I added.
Xu Jin released my shoulder and stood there staring at me for a few seconds before lowering his head and walking into Youyangju's interior.
The second floor of Youyangju is where you can see the Fe family, but I didn't go up.
The place where Fe family and I meet is either this tavern or the second floor.
Once I could only listen, but now I can choose for myself.
I entered the tavern, picked up a jar of wine, found an empty table, sat down, opened two enamel bowls, poured wine into two cups, bubbles rose, and the bowl surface gradually returned to calm.
After waiting for about 8 or 9 minutes, Fe Fang and Xu Jin appeared from the main entrance of Youyangju.
Soon, Fe Fang entered the tavern, and Xu Jin waited outside.
In his forties, with slightly narrow cheeks, not thin, a high nose bridge, a deep philtrum, and a very amiable expression.
"Quick, it's been more than a year since we last saw each other. What should I call you now, Lord Luo Xian Shen, Master Luo, or the little uncle of Si Guishan?" Fe Fang's face was full of smiles and there was no sign of resentment towards me.
In the past, I exchanged one thing for another, obtaining the underground main body.
Later, I obtained the underground main body for Wu Nong in exchange for something, and promised Fe Fang that I would do something.
This is my current relationship with Fe Fang.
Of course, we had also discussed finding the missing former master of Youyangju at the time, but this matter no longer has much to do with me now. I don't need to find out about my parents' whereabouts from that person.
"Feel free to call me whatever you want, Luo will remain the same." I remained calm.
After sitting down, Fe Fang picked up the wine bowl and drank it down in one go.
I then picked up the bowl and sipped a little.
"Ha ha, then call me Master Luo, my Youyangju is honored to have the presence of the younger brother of Si Guishan from four rules mountain. Luo's visit to Youyangju is to inquire about the past events?" Fe Fang paused and then said: "Master Luo's arrival at Youyangju is to ask about the past events?"
There was an unspoken expectation in Fe Fang's eyes, and he didn't even mention the matter of me doing something for him.
I remained silent for a moment. In fact, my coming to see Fe Fang was to avoid wandering aimlessly in Jinyang.
"My parents are safe and sound," I said first.
During this time, the three of us have been traveling together, and we have shown our faces in many places, so there is no need to hide.
Fe Fang stunned for a moment, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Ha ha, Master Luo's strength is outstanding, although there are some minor conflicts with Si Guishan, family affairs are still family affairs. You were able to find your parents, I did have some conjectures, but I didn't expect to bypass Youyangju. "
Fe Fang fell silent again.
For a moment, both remained silent.
After about two or three minutes, Fe Fang said: "Master Luo came to find me without any reason, what is the matter, you can say it directly, I will do as you say."
I felt a bit melancholic, which was different from what I had expected. I thought Fe Fang would be straightforward and say that I owed him a favor, and then naturally, there would be something for me to do.
Now, because of my strength, he has directly erased that matter.
"I returned to Jinyang, there are many things I need to do."
"As soon as I said that, Fe Fang's pupils narrowed slightly, and a sweat appeared on his forehead."
"Secondly, I owe you a favor because I took the blackhide secret bag from Youyangju. Although I am a Taoist and not a scholar, there are causes and effects, and this matter needs to be settled."
"Thirdly, I want to look into something."
"The matter of the blackhide secret bag is no big deal, let it be put aside for the time being. If Youyangju really encounters something in the future, I will go to ask Luo Daozhu."
"The plague spirit is... quite troublesome. I haven't left the Underworld Pavilion for a long time, and even went to the City God Temple to ask for help, leaving a strand of night duty to guard the entrance, and anyone entering Youyangju will be checked for earth energy. I thought that should be something the whole Si Guishan mountain should do, but it turns out……you are the only one who can solve this?"
After a pause, Fe Fang shook his head and said, "I think, Master Luo, you had better not handle this matter alone. Xu Jin claims that he is not your match and even thinks that your strength may be close to Han Zazi's. But Han Zazi died in Changfeng Taoist Temple a few months ago. If you really want to inquire about this, you should notify Si Guishan mountain. The recent silence is probably because Han Zazi didn't have time to inform your mountain gate of the situation here."
"The third thing, Master Luo, please go into detail and tell me how you see it?"
