Chapter 567 Boy? Girl?
somebody is coming?
Xu Yuan's hand movements paused slightly unconsciously, and he subconsciously looked where Bai Muxi was looking.
The dense forest at night in early spring carried the sound of natural revitalization. The moment of silence beside the campfire made the rustling of mosquitoes and sounds of animals around them become particularly clear. However, Xu Yuan saw nothing, and the dark mist blocked his view. sight.
Turning to glance at the expression on Bai Muxi's face, Xu Yuan continued to turn the barbecue on the wooden rack and said with a leisurely smile:
“There really is a family deep in the dense forest. But judging from the look on your face, I guess you are not an expert hermit.”
Bai Muxi stared into the depths of the mist for a few breaths:
“He is a young man, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with the Feng family emblem on his clothes.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately thought of the two geniuses from the Feng family.
The secret letter recorded that the two were biological siblings.
The elder sister is eighteen and the younger brother is fifteen.
Now I meet again a boy from the Feng family who is 14 or 15 years old
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly and he suddenly looked at the general direction of the ancestral temple.
Mad, he said there are so many geniuses in the world. Did the two siblings steal what his grandfather left for him? !
While thinking, Bai Muxi seemed to see what he was thinking, and quickly explained:
“Sir, that young man only has an iron body cultivation level and is not the genius in the secret letter.”
“.” Bai Muxi put down her hand honestly and looked at Xu Yuan eagerly.
“Sir, isn’t a fifteen-year-old sixth-grade iron body enough to attract attention?”
“Post post?”
And most of the tribesmen stationed in the outpost are about six or seven levels in cultivation. A starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Those who have not reached Grand Master before the age of twenty are considered geniuses?
That’s bullshit.
He is exposed to wall hangings such as Xu Changge, Tian Yan, Ran Qingmo and so on all day long.
Every year, many fly-like "gold diggers" sneak into the mountains to try their luck. For them, a rare elixir may allow them to exchange for a pill that can break through the bottleneck.
However, in terms of the normal world, although the sixth-grade boys around fifteen years old are not as good as those at the top of the world, they can still be regarded as "geniuses".
In order to prevent these outsiders from disturbing the ancestral land, and to prevent the few financial resources from being encroached on, the Feng family branches not only arranged for powerful masters to patrol the mountains, but also set up hundreds of outposts in the thousands of miles of mountains.
"." Bai Muxi was silent, but her eyes acquiesced.
Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately relaxed his brows, exhaled a breath, and snorted coldly:
“Next time you speak, don’t gasp.”
Xu Yuan waved his hand without thinking:
ˆ “.”
However, as a feng shui treasure land full of spiritual energy, the mountains produce many natural and earthly treasures every year. When the Feng family was strong, no one dared to covet these things. However, with the opening of martial arts schools, the number of Mud Leg cultivators has increased exponentially. After the direct lineage of the Feng family was absorbed into the Prime Minister's Mansion, this deterrent effect was greatly reduced.
Xu Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled slightly:
“It doesn’t matter, so what if the young man finds the Feng family’s ancestral temple? If outsiders can get the things in the ancestral temple so easily, there will be no such thing as bloodline in this world?”
Didn’t the young master’s words just now mean that this son might have robbed him of his opportunity?
“Yes.” Bai Muxi looked a little embarrassed.
Glancing at the dense forest again, Xu Yuan said slightly confused: "This valley is already in the hinterland of the Xifeng Mountains and hundreds of miles away from the main peak of the settlement. What is a young man in iron body doing here so late? "
As soon as these words came out, he suddenly understood what Xiaobai meant.
The air was quiet for a moment, and a strange flash appeared in Xu Yuan's eyes.
“Ke Gongzi”
Bai Muxi suddenly interrupted: "That young man is about to be attacked by a monster, a fifth-grade monster python."
"Mu Xi, if we ask clearly that the young man has indeed discovered the location of his ancestral temple, what do you want to do? Imprison him or kill him?"
Bai Muxi glanced at Xu Yuan and replied truthfully:
Except himself, of course.
It was dark all around. Bai Muxi was sitting on her knees opposite the bonfire. The jumping fireworks trailed across her beautiful face, and she thought for a moment:
Taken off a fat and thin skewer from the wooden stand, Xu Yuan bit off a piece of fat meat hard. The delicious spices and the meat juice penetrated his taste buds. While chewing, he whispered:
"It's still a bit strange. Most of the tribesmen stationed at the outpost are middle-aged people from some tribes. Most of them are stuck by bottlenecks and cannot make progress in their cultivation. Fourteen or fifteen years old in the iron body realm. Based on the current situation of the Feng family's collateral branch It seems that this young man should be studying in Fengqitang."
Bai Muxi pursed her lips slightly and murmured in a low voice:
Why are you being mean to me?
Wiping the oil stains from the corner of his lips with a brocade handkerchief, Xu Yuan exhaled a breath of white mist, raised his eyes through the woods to look at the stars in the sky, and spoke in a calm tone:
After hearing this, Bai Muxi gently placed her white palms on her knees where she was sitting cross-legged. Just as she was about to stand up with her knees up, Xu Yuan's voice was muffled because of eating meat:
“What do you want to do?”
With a sigh in his heart, Xu Yuan waved his hand:
The Xifeng Mountains, as the ancestral land of the Feng family, is strictly forbidden to outsiders, just like the mountain gates of the sects.
This was also mentioned in the information sent by the Black Scale Guards.
Xu Yuan stared at the half-cooked skewers in front of him and murmured back: "It's possible."
As he spoke, he paused and whispered:
“Most of the literati in the world call my father a thief who steals the country, and they want to eat his flesh and blood. Have you ever seen my father pay attention to these people? Hehe, it is a waste of time to look at him more.
"There is no need to scare the snake, you can use magic to lure the young man away. When Ran Qingmo comes back, we will set off immediately. This young man must have a name with the Feng family. If something happens to him, he may cause some unnecessary trouble. trouble."
Xu Yuan glanced at him calmly, swallowed the meat in his mouth, and spit out two words:
"sit down!"
“Sir, could it be a post post?”
“Since the young master suspects that he has found the Feng family’s ancestral hall, he might as well arrest him and ask him directly.”
"You can indeed exclude people who are a threat to me, but the prerequisite is that they have the qualifications first. Wouldn't it be tiring to kill everyone?"
It means that there is a slight deviation in the vision.
“Don’t worry about him.”
The voice fell,
"boom-"
A muffled sound suddenly sounded and fell from the dense forest more than a hundred feet away.
Bai Muxi stood up, looked back at Xu Yuan, and said with some hesitation in her voice:
“Mr. Ran rescued the young man.”
“.” Xu Yuan smacked his lips.
The handsome young man knelt down beside the campfire meticulously, his eyes darting back and forth on the three people in front of him.
Feng Fangming felt that he seemed to have met three incredible people today.
The first is the cold-tempered Rumo girl.
This sister, who looked to be a few years older than him, punched the head of a fifth-grade jade-scaled snake, saving his life.
She was practicing with her eyes closed at the moment, as if the violent scene just now had never happened. The white crystal in her hand seemed to be the Source Crystal.
The second one is the quiet sister who is dressed in white and has a curvy figure.
The other party's eyes were as bright as a lake, but for some reason, Feng Fangming always felt that this beautiful elder sister looked at him with a hint of hostility in her eyes.
The last one is the brocade-robed brother who is tinkering with bottles and jars, skewering green-scaled snakes into meat skewers.
Looking at the atmosphere between the three of them, it seems that the eldest brother with a laid-back temperament is the one who calls the shots.
But more importantly, with his own cultivation, he couldn't see through the state of the three people in front of him, but the other party's appearance looked a few years older than him.
These three people reminded him of the tall figure in Qifeng Hall, as if looking down on all living beings.
An eerie silence spread among the four people around the campfire.
Feng Fangming wanted to break the silence several times, but he didn't dare to disturb the three of them. Due to his duties as a guard, Feng Fangming felt that he should ask the three of them what they were doing in their ancestral land, but the temperament of these three did not seem like they came here for the treasures in the mountains.
Amidst the entanglement in his heart, a wisp of meaty fragrance quietly drifted into the tip of his nose.
Then,
He then heard a gentle and gentle male voice:
“Feng Fangming, right? How old are you this year?”
Hearing this, Feng Fangming quickly raised his eyes and looked at the man who made the noise, only to see the other man hand him a bunch of fragrant meat skewers with a smile.
Hurrying out his hands to take it, when his fingertips touched, he took it back like an electric shock. After a sip, Feng Fangming replied in a soft voice:
“Hui Gongzi has just passed his fourteenth year.”
“A fourteen-year-old iron body”
The man in front of him smiled softly after hearing this, and handed two skewers of snake meat to the two sisters beside him, and lightly praised: "It's very good."
Just as Feng Fangming was about to express her gratitude, she heard a sentence that shocked her:
"but.
“You must be a girl, right?”
ˆ “.”
You can hear needles dropping in the air, and the campfire is crackling and jumping.
Bai Muxi’s bright eyes were surprised.
Ran Qingmo blinked his eyes, widened his eyes, bulged his cheeks, and stopped chewing in his mouth.
Xu Yuan smiled with his eyes bent, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
Three eyes fell on her at the same time. Feng Ziming opened her small mouth, closed it, opened it again, blinked her eyes, forced herself to be calm, and her voice was full of confusion:
“Sir, what do you mean by this?”
Xu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile:
“No need to worry about it, I just feel that your aura is a bit strange. If it offends me, I hope you will forgive me.”
Feng Ziming lowered her head and smiled coquettishly:
“Sir, you are really good at joking.”
Xu Yuan looked at her deeply with a half-smile, and then said:
“We have reached the hinterland of the Xifeng Mountains, and all kinds of poisonous insects and monsters are extremely dangerous. Why are you still running around in the forest so late?”
Speaking of this matter, Feng Ziming suddenly looked straight:
“I am the garrison guard in Qixuan Valley, and I am on duty tonight.”
As she spoke, she raised her middle hand and saluted Ran Qingmo:
“Thank you to the sister in black for coming to the rescue. Otherwise, with the habits of the green-scaled snake, I would probably be in a hard fight tonight.”
Ran Qingmo didn't say anything, but shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
Xu Yuan on the side showed a hint of interest.
It is a hard fight rather than a battle between life and death.
Looks like this girl can still fight through the ranks.
Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan asked again:
“Fang Ming, given your age and cultivation level, it would be logical to study at Fengzi Pavilion of Qifeng Hall, right? How could your second elder be willing to send you here?”
Qifengtang is an academy for the young members of the clan, where they not only learn mystical skills, but also teach arts and sciences. Fengzi Pavilion is the top academy among them, and is taught by the elders themselves.
A flash of surprise flashed in Feng Ziming's eyes, as if she didn't understand why the young master in front of her knew so much about the inside of the Feng family, but after a moment of silence, she still whispered:
“Entrusted by others.”
“Entrusted by others?” Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Feng Ziming remained silent and did not speak.
Xu Yuan thought for a moment, but chose not to ask further questions, and pointed at the snake meat skewers in the opponent's hand:
“Eat quickly, it’s a cold night in early spring, and it will get cold soon.”
After the words fell, there was a rustling sound of chewing.
While Feng Ziming was eating the delicious snake meat in her hands that stimulated her taste buds, her eyes glanced back and forth at the brocade-robed young master several times. After all, she couldn't hold it back and whispered:
“Sir, I wonder why you three came to my Feng family’s ancestral land late at night?”
The moment he spoke, Bai Muxi glanced at him lightly.
With just one glance, Feng Ziming felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. There was only a chaotic buzzing in her head, and her delicate body was trembling uncontrollably.
"Snapped-"
But the next moment, a crisp slap brought Feng Ziming back to reality. It was indeed the young master who slapped the big sister in white on the lower back.
This Xiaobai has the same virtue as Lou Ji, and he scares children at every turn.
It belongs to the food chain.
But he does need someone with a black face by his side.
Withdrawing his palm, Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said calmly:
"How about this? You tell me who entrusted it to you, and I will tell you the reason why we are here, how about it?"
Because of the fear rooted deep in her heart, Feng Ziming subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she saw the look from the big sister in white again, she swallowed her words silently.
The sentry garrison has a mortality rate.
Every year, several forest guards die at the hands of outsiders.
The cultivation of the three people in front of her was unfathomable. Just by the punch that Sister Mo Yi casually hit the head of the green snake, Feng Ziming would not have any room to resist.
Biting the corners of her lips, clenching her fists with her fingertips, Feng Ziming said in a low voice:
“It was an elder brother in the clan who asked me to come here.”
“Brother?” Xu Yuan frowned: “Which one?”
Feng Ziming stared at Xu Yuan for a few seconds, then whispered:
“You probably don’t know the young master.”
“Just say it, you can decide for yourself whether you recognize me or not.”
“It’s Feng Ruxian.”
ˆ “.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan did not say anything, but glanced sideways at Xiaobai beside him, with a slightly playful smile on his lips.
Seeing the look of the brocade-robed young master, Feng Ziming's eyes became more puzzled. She clenched her fists slightly and asked subconsciously:
“Sir, do you know him?”
“Don’t be impatient, I haven’t finished asking yet.”
Xu Yuan observed the other person's expression, raised his hand to interrupt, his expression was smiling, and his voice echoed softly:
“He, why do you want to come here?”
“He wanted me to look after a cave for him.”
“There are nine bright lights in the cave?”
“Sir, how do you know?” Feng Ziming’s eyes were a little shaken.
"good question."
Xu Yuan stood up slowly from the futon on his knees, stretched out his hand, took out a token and threw it at the unknown girl in front of him, with a calm tone:
“Because, my name is Xu Changge.”
