Huafang Pier.

As the name suggests, this is the wharf where the painted boats on the Qinhuai River dock.

Ten miles away from the Qinhuai River, the misty waves are misty, leaving behind eternal romance.

As the saying goes, there was a great event in the Qinhuai River recently, and the lights and shadows of the oars could be heard for ten miles; the sky was open to Wu and Chu, and people were singing. Wherever the mountains and waters are as beautiful as ever!

This is still near the Confucius Temple, where Jinling culture gathers.

On this not-wide river, many touching stories of talented men and beautiful women have been left, as well as the sadness of the change of family and country.

Times have changed, but there are still dozens of antique painted boats moored at the Huafang Pier.

A painting boat was leaning on the trestle, with several people already on it.

The car had stopped, and Chen Fan opened the door and got out of the car.

"Mr. Chen, be careful!"

Jiang Tiansheng said.

"No problem." Chen Fan said with a smile: "The owner of the Fish-Dragon Jade Tablet makes me very curious."

He nodded and looked to one side. Zhong Yishan had also arrived early and was waiting for him.

Zhong Yishan also held a box in his hand, walked forward and whispered: "Mr. Long."

"My name is Chen Fan. Master Zhong just calls me by my first name!"

"How to do this?" Zhong Yishan asked quickly.

Chen Fan patted him on the shoulder, "That's it, let's go!"

The two of them walked towards the trestle.

On the trestle, Ping Yihong stood there with a young man, and bowed to the two of them, "Mr. Chen, please return the jade plaque, hand over your mobile phone, camera and other things for taking pictures and communicating before you can board the ship!"

Chen Fan casually returned the jade token to him and obediently handed over his mobile phone.

He looked at the guests on the boat and was slightly startled.

There were six people sitting on the boat, and among them was his acquaintance, Fatty Sun Mingen.

Next to Sun Mingen, sitting next to him was a middle-aged man who was also quite fat. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Sun Mingen's.

When Chen Fan and two people boarded the boat, they also attracted the attention of the six people on the boat.

"Mr. Chen!"

Unexpectedly, he met Chen Fan. Sun Mingen was so pleasantly surprised that he stuffed the box in his hand into the arms of the middle-aged man next to him and stepped onto the bow of the ship.

"Master Sun!" Chen Fan greeted: "What a coincidence!"

Sun Ming'en said with a smile on his face: "This is such good luck. If you meet Mr. Chen here, you won't have to worry about suffering a loss. Please take a seat quickly!"

Chen Fan and Zhong Yishan went over and sat down.

The middle-aged man stood up and nodded in greeting.

"This is my dad." Sun Mingen scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Sun Chuancheng." The man smiled and stretched out his hand.

He is much fatter than Sun Mingen, and when he smiles there is only a slit in his eye, making him look very funny and approachable.

"Hello, uncle!"

Chen Fan said hello.

"Master Zhong, long time no see."

Sun Chuancheng knew Zhong Yishan and also greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Sun." Zhong Yishan greeted.

After sitting down, Chen Fan looked at the people sitting on the opposite side of the boat.

There were two pairs, one of which was a young man and a woman, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with cold expressions, and ignored Chen Fan's gaze.

The other couple looked like a pair of grandfather and grandson. The old one was sixty or seventy years old with gray hair, and the other girl looked like thirteen or fourteen years old.

Chen Fan looked over, the old man nodded in greeting, and the girl smiled sweetly.

Chen Fan smiled and nodded.

Ping Yihong got on the painted boat, ordered the boat to sail, and said: "Everyone, welcome to the Fish and Dragon Secret Society. Let me tell you the rules now."

"Don't ask where the fish-dragon secret meeting will be held this time. You will know when you get there."

"Don't ask about other people's identities or the origins of the treasures they carry. If you are complained, the less serious person will be advised, and the more serious person will be asked to leave!"

"This secret meeting will absolutely guarantee the safety of everyone's personal and belongings. However, please keep the treasures you have brought to avoid unnecessary complications."

The painting boat slowly sailed out, along the Qinhuai River, and sailed upstream among the ancient buildings on both sides of the bank.

"When you communicate with each other, please don't make any noise. Respect others, and others will respect you."

"In addition, the treasures at the secret meeting will not be introduced too much. Whether to trade them or not depends entirely on your eyesight and your own needs."

“Once you barter and the deal is concluded, you can’t go back on it!”

"..."

There are a lot of rules, but this is to be expected.

Amid the roar of the motor, the boat sailed upstream along the Qinhuai River.

In less than ten minutes, the boat stopped at a ferry.

On the road outside the ferry, a Coaster luxury minibus has been parked.

"Everyone, please get in the car!"

"It's really mysterious." Sun Mingen muttered and asked Chen Fan to get off the boat.

Coaster soon drove out.

The scenery outside the window changed. An hour later, the car drove to the bottom of a mountain.

"Mr. Chen, this is Fangshan Scenic Area!" Zhong Yishan introduced in a low voice: "I didn't expect that this time the secret meeting of fish and dragons would be located here!"

Chen Fan was also a little surprised.

However, the location of each secret meeting of fish and dragons must be different, and it does not seem surprising that it is held in a scenic spot.

The car started to go up the mountain, and when it was halfway up the mountain, it suddenly entered a fork in the road.

"I don't know this road!"

Everyone in the car looked surprised.

Like Zhong Yishan, Sun Chuancheng and his son, they are all natives of Jinling and are very familiar with Fangshan Mountain, but they did not expect to find a new way here.

After driving for another three minutes, the car stopped outside a pavilion with a classical charm.

Several young women had already come to greet him.

Looking through the window, these people are all wearing Hanfu and long skirts, with a classical and elegant temperament, and they are all very beautiful.

"Everyone, we are here, please get off the car!"

Ping Yihong said.

"Welcome everyone, this way!"

These women paid their respects and led the way.

Chen Fan got out of the car and felt the fresh air when he breathed, which made his whole body and mind feel comfortable.

There seems to be a hint of sweetness in the air.

He looked down the mountain thoughtfully, taking in the bustling city in his eyes.

This place is quiet and peaceful. Obviously, you can't live here just because you have money.

And as a scenic spot, there are so many tourists here, but even Zhong Yishan and the others don't know that there is such a place.

When he looked carefully, it seemed that more than a hundred meters away, the air flow was accelerating, and the light and shadow seemed a little distorted.

This place is quite mysterious.

"You two, please come inside."

A woman came over and bowed, her eyes like autumn water.

Chen Fan nodded, and followed the woman with Zhong Yishan into the pavilion in front.

After entering the pavilion, I discovered that there were steps going down on the other side of the pavilion.

After going down the steps and turning a few times, about three hundred meters, a classical building built against the mountain suddenly opened up.

This building seems to be built on the cliff, half embedded in the cliff.

Everyone was amazed. They never expected that there would be such a scene in this place.

Sure enough, when you walk into the building, there is a hall inside, and the space inside is not small.

From the outside, you can see the magnificent scenery of the city, but from the inside, it seems to be a cave that is different from the rest of the world.

In the hall, some bar-shaped plans have been set up. The plans are made of pear wood and are antique in style. Some fruits and tea are placed on them.

On one side of the plan, there is another exhibition stand.

"Everyone, please take a seat in pairs. You can put the treasures you brought for trading into the booth for people to appreciate." Ping Yihong said slowly: "All treasures are guaranteed to be safe here and will not be lost."

Chen Fan looked towards the innermost direction of the hall. There were also several booths, but they were all empty.

What really attracted Chen Fan's full attention was a landscape screen behind the booths.
