Chapter 418 To mention or to threaten?
The act of showing off one's might is full of anomalies.
After Xuanyuan Jingxuan stood firm, he calmed down his turbulent blood, looked at the convoy on the shore with a livid face, and said sternly: "Who spoke just now? Is this the sword **** Li Chungang? It's nothing more than that!"
"It is said that when he was defeated by Wang Xianzhi, his arm was cut off, the wooden horse and the bull were broken, and he was silent for sixty years. I never thought he would dare to show his face."
In order to save face, especially not to lose face in front of the useless elder brother next to him, Xuanyuan Jingxuan straightened his clothes, stood with his hands behind his back, and belittled Li Chungang endlessly, his words were full of disdain.
Xuanyuan Jingcheng shook his head, his solemn eyes fell on the carriage behind.
Although he had never met Li Chungang, the 'noisy' sounded like a young man's casual reprimand, not the old voice of an octogenarian.
Following the two figures of a man and a woman coming down from the carriage behind, Xuanyuan Jingcheng glanced at the icy and haughty figure in a purple dress; he looked at the handsome young man holding a flower pot in one hand .
It just so happened that the young master looked up at him at the same time, those clear and calm eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his disguise and perceive his true strength.
"Sure enough, it's an old shade. This body's strength has already entered the sky. As long as the realm is probably on the same level as their ancestor, he still has to hide himself. It seems that there is absolutely nothing about Xuanyuan Dapan calling his great-granddaughter back to the mountain. It's that simple on the surface."
A few hundred feet away, Zhou Ji smiled slightly at the Xuanyuan family member at the bow, Xuanyuan Jingcheng glanced at the third child on the side of the fence, and nodded calmly in return.
"It really is him. Zhou Ji, Mr. Zhou."
For a moment, the eyes of the two intersected, but Xuanyuan Qingfeng, who had been watching the ship approaching the shore, couldn't notice it.
Xu Fengnian walked out of the carriage and sat on the crossbar of the carriage, looked at Xuanyuan Qingfeng who was passing by, and said narrowly, "The person who shouted just now is your third uncle, right? I heard that he has been in charge of the family business for so many years. Not to mention, the voice is good."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng glanced at Xu Fengnian, and said indifferently: "Xu Shizi, I know that he saved me because he wanted to interfere with Huishan's affairs, but I can tell you that Huishan will not jump into muddy water, nor will he attach himself to Beiliang. "
"Thank you, Shizi Xu, for seeing me off all the way, and farewell."
"Let's go now?" Xu Fengnian said casually, and Zhou Ji, who was walking over, smiled and said, "Why? What else do you want to keep him for?"
"Hey~! Hey! I don't have one, don't talk nonsense!" Xu Fengnian jumped down from the car, pinned down the little head that got out from the middle of the curtain, and stuffed her into the car, saying urgently, " I'm just being polite, polite, understand?"
After all, you have to pay back when you come out to mix.
When they were in Beiliang, although Xu Fengnian and Jiang Ni had mutual affection, they were tolerant and restrained.
The arrival of Cao Changqing, on the one hand, announced the separation that the two had deliberately never mentioned, and on the other hand, made their relationship grow by leaps and bounds after they had been together for more than ten years.
There is no confession, and there is no need to confess.
Zhou Ji watched the interaction between the two with a slight smile on his lips.
At the beginning, in front of Si Teng, this kid was fighting wildly between Nangong Pushe and him, but now he finally found a chance for revenge.
Adhering to Zhou Ji, who never suffers, everything is big, but the mind is small.
Xu Fengnian pressed down on the little brain behind the car curtain, and managed to calm Jiang Ni down.
Turning around and giving Zhou Ji a resentful glance, his eyes swept across the river from the corner of his eye, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Huang Maner?"
The big boat of Xuanyuan's family docked, and a bamboo raft went around the side of the boat and slowly crossed the river.
Huang Man'er turned his back to the official road and concentrated on fishing on the river with a bamboo pole. He didn't realize anything until he heard Xu Fengnian shouting loudly through the loudspeaker with both hands, and looked towards the boundless upper and lower reaches of the Shejiang River.
The old Taoist who was poleing behind the bamboo raft laughed dumbly, stopped what he was doing, and pointed behind him: "Stupid, back."
Huang Man'er turned around and saw Xu Fengnian in front of the convoy in the distance at a glance. He put down the bamboo pole excitedly and waved his arms on the bamboo raft, "Brother~! I'm here~! Brother~!"
"You really are a little prince." Shu shamed in surprise, "Isn't he afraid of water?"
Qingniao looked from a distance, her cold expression softened a little, and she was really happy for her eldest son to see his younger brother from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Fengnian couldn't wait to meet Huang Man'er, but unfortunately the bamboo raft was far away in the middle of the river, and now he was on the mountain road. After estimating the distance, he turned to look at Zhou Ji and said, "Old Zhou, give me a ride."
‘To mention or to threaten? '
Zhou Ji raised his arms and slid down his cuffs. He wanted to 'send' Xu Fengnian to the bamboo raft himself, but seeing the unprecedented light in those eyes full of joy, he paused slightly. The palm grabbing Xu Fengnian's collar turned into a sword finger, swung his sleeves and swept towards the heart of the river, a ray of breeze turned into a seemingly invisible Qi sword, hovering in front of Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian jumped up and stepped on the sword body, like a flying fairy with a sword, crossed a distance of hundreds of feet, and flew towards the bamboo raft.
Xuanyuan Jingxuan and others who had docked at the shore and hadn't set sail were stunned. Most of them focused their attention on the young Taoist who called Xu Fengnian his brother. Only Xuanyuan Jingcheng took a deep look. With a glance at Zhou Ji, he seemed to make some kind of decision in his heart.
"Why does Xuanyuan Jingcheng look at me again? Could it be that he wants to marry his daughter to me?"
Zhou Ji glanced at the vines stretching with the wind calmly, muttering in his heart, but he didn't dare to make any sound, for fear of being heard by a possessive vine queen.
On the river, Xu Fengnian seemed to be chatting with Huang Man'er and Zhao Xituan, then turned around and waved towards the shore, the bamboo raft turned around, and rowed towards the distance without looking back.
"Hey? Why did Shizi and the others just leave?" Shu Shu chased a few steps along the mountain road and turned around.
"Zhao Xituan brought Huang Man'er out with the intention of catching some fish and keeping them on the mountain for his brother to eat. This encounter was purely accidental. Besides, the two brothers have not seen each other for a long time, so they must have a lot to say, so let them Let's go back to the mountain first."
Zhou Ji smiled, motioned Wei Shuyang to go on, returned to the carriage behind and sat down.
At the riverside ferry, on the big boat of the Xuanyuan family.
Xuanyuan Jingxuan heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at the Beiliang convoy that was drifting away and the bamboo raft that had long since disappeared.
The ancestor asked Xuanyuan Qingfeng by name, and he was naturally happy to see the result. He was afraid that there would be some changes in the process, so he tentatively said: "You should be Mr. Zhou Ji Zhou and Xu Fengnian from Beiliang, right? Old acquaintance?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng noticed his father's gaze, frowned slightly, and moved a few steps away, "I've met once before, so I'm not familiar with it."
Yuan Tingshan was ordered to prevent Xuanyuan Qingfeng from returning to the mountain, Xuanyuan Jingxuan knew it well, and said with a smile: "Send you back to the mountain if you are not familiar with it?"
"Perhaps on the way?" Xuanyuan Qingfeng replied casually.
Xuanyuan Jingxuan saw Xuanyuan Qingfeng's casual tone, which didn't seem like a fake, and he finally let go of half of the stone in his heart, and finally mentioned something: "Qingfeng, our Xuanyuan family has been passed down for hundreds of years, but we can't hand over the lifeline to others. hands."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Third Uncle, I think so."
Xuanyuan Jingxuan glanced at the wimpy elder brother who was frowning slightly and hesitated to speak, and said with a loud smile: "Qingfeng returned to the mountain this time, and got the personal instruction of the old ancestor. In the future, the Xuanyuan family may be handed over to you .”
Xuanyuan Qingfeng was very excited in his heart, but on the surface he kept as humble as possible, and complimented: "The third uncle is the jade pillar of the Xuanyuan family."
"Hahaha~" Xuanyuan Jingxuan saw the pride and confidence on his silly niece's face, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "You father and daughter haven't seen each other for many years, let's have a good chat."
Xuanyuan Jingxuan walked towards the bow of the boat as he spoke.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng glanced at his father next to him out of the corner of his eye, with a restrained smile, walked towards the other side of the deck with a straight face.
"Qingfeng."
Seeing that his daughter was about to leave, Xuanyuan Jingcheng quickly stopped her. Xuanyuan Jingxuan, who hadn't gone far, looked back at him, with a threatening light in his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Xuanyuan Qingfeng didn't notice the change in the third uncle's eyes, and tilted his head slightly, only looking at him from the corner of his eye.
Xuanyuan Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, and said, "What does Mr. Zhou mean to you? He and Xu Fengnian are close friends. If you seek refuge, can you be sure that Xu Fengnian will support you?"
"Just ask this?" Xuanyuan Qingfeng sneered, showing disdain on his face, "Heavy and horizontal, read it from a book? Want to trade me for Bei Liang's support, so that you have the opportunity to regain the power of the eldest son and grandson of the family?"
At this time, she only thought about what Xuanyuan Jingxuan said just now. At the time when her heart was full of arrogance, she was filled with the hope of being "handed down by the ancestors" and "in charge of Xuanyuan's family". 'It's becoming more and more contemptuous.
Xuanyuan Jingcheng couldn't speak, so he could only look at Xuanyuan Qingfeng's retreating figure, showing a somewhat bitter expression.
the other side.
The convoy went to the ferry, and everyone took a boat to Longhu Mountain on the west bank of Sheshui River.
Xiaoyaoguan, where Zhao Xituan and Huang Man'er lived, is located on the edge of Qinglong River, merges into Shejiang River along a tributary, goes straight north, and diverges into Chunshen Lake, which is eight hundred miles away.
Huang Man'er used to be afraid of water, but after being sent to Longhu Mountain, he would often wait for his brother to come by the stream, and he was no longer afraid of water.
The family of Zhong Ding is cold-blooded, and there are several brothers who love each other so dearly. In addition, when Xu Longxiang was born, his skin was sickly and dark yellow, and he was born stupid, so he was nicknamed Huang Man'er. It's a distressing meaning to feed well.
Zhou Ji sat under the gazebo in front of Xiaoyao Temple, looking at Huang Man'er who kept buying delicious food for Xu Fengnian, he couldn't help showing a faint smile.
As he lives longer, his emotions will weaken. Whether it is family affection, friendship, or love, as long as it is a beautiful thing in the world, it is a kind of soothing and healing for him.
Cooking smoke curled up, and at the wrong time, the cooking smoke curled up, accompanied by the fresh fragrance of fish soup lingering in his nose, which attracted Li Chungang to climb over the fence on the side of the gazebo and get to the campfire.
Noticing Huang Man'er squatting beside him, he looked him up and down, and couldn't help but click his tongue and said: "You are born in a diamond state, which is only seen in the world."
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Fengnian, shook his head and sighed, "Brother, you just need to enter the Finger Profound Realm, but don't enter the Celestial Phenomena Realm. Entering the Celestial Phenomenon Realm requires heaven and man to be one. With his body and bones, he may be doomed."
Zhao Xituan heard the words and said with a smile: "My disciple is a dragon and tiger spring and autumn, and he can use his mind to overcome the calamity of heaven and earth."
"Well, that's okay, you are a master who is very hardworking." Li Chungang nodded in approval.
Zhao Xituan stroked his beard and smiled: "That's natural, direct disciples are more important than fate."
Xu Fengnian was listening in a cloud, and immediately interrupted: "Master Zhao, Senior Li, what are you talking about? What is the unity of the heavens and the earth, and the robbery of the heavens and the earth? Will Huang Man'er be in danger?"
"How did you cultivate till now?" Li Chungang curled his lips in disgust, and explained: "Simply put, if you rise to the heavenly phenomena at the point of the mysterious realm, it will trigger the induction of the heavenly dao, and then bring down disasters. The stronger the catastrophe, your younger brother's aptitude is rare in the world, it can be said to be unique, Zhao Xituan taught him the Dragon and Tiger Spring and Autumn, so that he can use his mind to survive the catastrophe."
The attitudes of Li Chungang and Zhao Xituan made Xu Fengnian heave a sigh of relief, and asked curiously again: "Have you met before?"
Li Chungang nodded indifferently, "Heaven and Earth Tribulation, everyone who ascends to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm will encounter it, it's just the time and the difference in the size of the disaster."
While speaking, a sneaky woman slipped out from behind the half-closed Taoist temple door, glanced left and right, then tiptoed down the steps and said, "This is Longhu Mountain, so I won't be found out like this?"
Zhao Xituan put down his cattail fan, stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Don't worry, little girl, although this place is within the territory of Longhu Mountain, it's not as crowded as Tianshi Mansion. Only the old Taoist and my apprentice live here, and no one will come here." .”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xituan's expression changed slightly, as if he felt something, he looked into the distance almost at the same time as Li Chungang.
I saw a figure that could never appear here, flying across the sky from the opposite bank of Qinglong River, spanning more than ten miles, and landing in front of everyone.
Zhao Xituan, Huang Man'er and others stood up one after another. Jiang Ni's first reaction was that he was worried that his identity would be exposed, so he subconsciously hid beside Zhou Ji, away from Xu Fengnian and said, "Isn't he the one next to Xuanyuan Jingxuan?"
"Xuanyuan Jingcheng."
Among the people present, only Zhou Ji knew the opponent's strength the first time, so he was not surprised. He sat in his original position with a normal expression. Seeing that Zhao Xituan had put down the spoon, he was worried that the fish soup would be muddy, so he picked up the spoon and pushed it down gently. .
"Xuanyuan Jingcheng? Isn't it rumored that he doesn't know martial arts?" Shu Shu, who was guarding Jiang Ni, couldn't help frowning when he heard the name.
Zhou Jiwen said with a smile: "He hides much deeper than Xu Fengnian, his realm has reached the sky, and his strength is weaker than your Uncle Qizhao, and the two old men present."
Xuanyuan Jingcheng glanced at Zhou Ji, nodded slightly at him, and when he looked at Xu Fengnian, there was a flash of fluctuation in his eyes, and he said elegantly and easy-going, "Prince Beiliang?"
Xu Fengnian didn't know Xuanyuan Jingcheng's reason for coming, but when he saw that this person had endured for so many years, and now he did not hesitate to expose his identity to come to him, he muttered in his heart, but he kept calm and said, "It's me."
