Chapter 568: Picking up an Opportunity

"Xu Chang..Ge..?"

Relying on the warm light emitted by the jumping bonfire, Feng Ziming's delicate eyes widened slightly as she looked at the picturesque young man in brocade robes in front of her. She held the token in her small hand, but soon her expression gradually revealed a hint of tangle.

After a long time, Feng Ziming looked at Xu Yuan, but hesitated to speak.

Xu Yuan glanced at her and said softly:

"If something happens, it's okay to say it."

"that."

Feng Ziming took a deep breath, as if she had made some determination, and asked quietly but quickly:

"Who is Xu Xu Changge?"

"."

The air suddenly became quiet, leaving only the crackling sound of the bonfire burning around.

Xu Yuanfeng's Qingyun expression gradually became stiff.

You're pretending to be cool in the name of a fool.

With a taut expression, Xu Yuan turned his attention to Bai Muxi who was standing aside.

You're so flattering, please help me.

As far as the eye can see, Bai Muxi is also tightening her beautiful face, but the slightly raised corners of her lips seem to be a bit unstretched.

After looking at each other for a moment, Bai Muxi, who was warned once by the eyes, forced down the smile on her lips and said calmly:

"The eldest son of the prime minister's office"

Halfway through her words, Bai Muxi saw a flash of surprise in the eyes of the handsome young man in front of her, but she was still a little puzzled. She immediately changed her words and said:

"Ha, it seems like you don't understand. Let me explain it this way. My young master is the eldest son of Feng Qian, the previous head of the Feng family, and the nephew of Feng Jiuxuan, the current head of the Feng family. You should be able to understand it now, right? ?”

When she finished speaking, a flash of panic flashed in Feng Ziming's eyes.

Although her mind was still a little confused, she had heard of both names.

He hurriedly tried to get up from the ground and salute, but was interrupted by Xu Yuan.

If the pretense is interrupted, there is no point in continuing the pretense.

Xu Yuan waved his hand casually and asked softly:

"Wouldn't anyone in the clan tell you about the relationship between the Feng family's branches and Di'an's Prime Minister's Mansion?"

The cohesion of a big family is formed subtly through education. After a newborn is born, the family's lesson plans and publicity trends will cultivate them in the direction of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

Feng Jiuxuan has no surviving heirs. As the eldest son of the previous head of the family, Xu Changge is undoubtedly the first heir to the head of the Feng family. However, the girl named Feng Fangming in front of him actually does not know his eldest brother's name.

This matter can be big or small.

To put it mildly,

This was an oversight on the part of the Feng family's collateral clan, which caused some ideological problems in the clan's propaganda.

Speaking more seriously,

Is the Feng family's propaganda campaign so that the people of the Feng family don't recognize the emperor?

"This... I'm not sure."

Feng Ziming responded quickly and respectfully, with a slightly immature voice hesitant: "In fact, I rarely go back to the Clan Hall."

"oh?"

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

Feng Ziming tentatively raised her eyes to look at Xu Yuan, and explained in a low voice: "I have been practicing with my grandfather in Wanyan Village since I was a child. Well, Wanyan Village is a small village next to Pingxin Cliff in the northernmost section of Xifeng Mountain Range. Basically isolated from the world, my grandfather sent me to the clan hall just before he died of illness, but "

Speaking of this, Feng Ziming clenched her fists slightly:

"But I only stayed in the clan hall for about two months before I was kicked out, so I don't know much about the clan's affairs."

It seems that the pot is not with the Feng family.

But think about it, after all, there are black scale guards stationed near the Xifeng Mountain Range, and the Feng family should not dare to do such stupid things blatantly.

Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan caught another inconsistency in this girl's words and asked with a chuckle:

"Didn't you say just now that you were entrusted by Feng Xianru to take the initiative to apply to serve as a guard here? Why are you suddenly being kicked out now?"

Feng Ziming lowered his head in silence.

Xu Yuan touched his chin:

"So...you provoked him?"

"." Feng Ziming lowered her head and said nothing, seeming to acquiesce.

Xu Yuanrao talked to himself with interest:

"Think about it, although you are very good, but if you have a conflict with Feng Xianru, there will be no place for you in Qifeng Hall. It is human nature to be strong, and as long as that guy shows a trace of disgust towards you, Tang My peers in middle school and even the teachers who teach will probably say nasty things to me, and even punch me."

Feng Ziming lowered her head, but finally protested in a low voice: "I actually don't know why he hates me."

Xu Yuan shook his head and did not continue to test.

Through the words from this girl's mouth, Xu Yuan had a psychological portrait of the surly and arrogant young genius named Feng Xianru.

But it's understandable.

When birthright exceeds worldly constraints, there are very few people who can stick to their true nature and treat others with humility.

He Xu Yuan seemed to be such a person before.

But people always have double standards, so Xu Yuan's first impression of the collateral genius was not very good.

Thoughts flashed, Xu Yuan took the identity token handed back by Feng Ziming's hands and asked softly:

"Fang Ming, can you take me to the cave?"

The moment she heard this, Feng Ziming's short and delicate body trembled obviously, as if she was afraid.

Xu Yuan caught this and sighed:

"He won't let you bring outsiders over?"

"Um"

Feng Ziming looked at the eldest son in front of her with panic eyes: "Feng Xianru said... If I dare to bring others over, he will kill me."

"Oh? This kid really dares to kill people in the tribe?"

"In the tribe competition, he beat people to death."

"."

The girl in front of him seemed to be really scared of Feng Xianru, and was timid.

After a little thought, Xu Yuan slowly bent down, squatted in front of her, and said softly:

"How about this, you help me lead the way this time, if he asks you later, tell me my name, if he dares to make trouble for you, I will teach him a lesson for you, how about it?"

"."

Feng Yuming's eyes flickered.

This big brother didn't seem to be joking.

Pursing her thin lips, Feng Yuming asked in a low voice:

"Sir, why do you want to help someone like me?"

"It's not to help you, it's a deal."

Xu Yuan bent his eyes and looked gentle: "You take me to find that cave, and I will solve the problem for you. It's fair."

"This is not fair."

Feng Yuming pulled the corner of his clothes: "It's just a piece of cake for me to lead the way, but you have to offend Feng Xianru."

"It's the same."

Xu Yuan interrupted the girl with a smile, speaking frivolously:

"Just like he can bully you at will because he doesn't like you, I can also kill him at will because I don't like him."

As he said,

Xu Yuan slowly stood up, with the jumping and swaying firelight on his back, and slowly stretched out his hand to the girl in front of him:

"So, do you want to trade with me?"

"."

The girl slowly raised her eyes and looked at him.

With the light of the campfire on his back, the man's face was hidden in the shadows, with only the dark light in his eyes reflected.

Subconsciously,

In the swaying of the bonfire, she reached out and grabbed his hand.

"Young Master, do you think highly of her?"

Walking on the way to the Feng Family Ancestral Hall, Bai Muxi looked at the back of the "young man" leading the way in front of her and suddenly asked.

The wind in the forest brushed across her hair. Xu Yuan glanced at her and replied casually:

"People picked up by Ran Qingmo himself must be valued."

Big Ice Tuozi seems to be really a fool with good fortune.

In the past, he picked up things, and now he picks up people.

Not only can he pick up opportunities everywhere, but he can also always get in touch with some people with great luck.

In the previous casual chat, Ran Qingmo mentioned that before killing Qin Mo, she ran into Qin Mo in the misty forest when she was rushing to Jingjiang Prefecture, and even formed a small good relationship with him.

It's completely unlike him, who is unlucky and makes enemies everywhere.

Bai Muxi didn't understand what Xu Yuan meant, and asked in confusion:

"Is there something special about her?"

While talking, the four of them kept flying through the mist in the mountains and forests.

Xu Yuan thought for a while and asked back:

"Can you tell her gender?"

". Can't tell, is this some kind of special physique?" Bai Muxi reacted quickly.

Xu Yuan nodded and smiled:

"Have you heard of the Yin-Yang Xuanwen body?"

"No."

"A physique that is very suitable for being a cauldron. The Yin-Yang Xuanwen body has the innate dual Dao Yun. If you use it as a cauldron, there is a chance that you can comprehend one of the Taiyin Dao Yun and Xuanyang Dao Yun."

"Sir, do you want to take him in?"

"Haha, I don't have this idea. The Yin-Yang Dao Yun doesn't match me very well."

Xu Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "And compared to using it as a cauldron, the benefits of cultivating the owner of the Yin-Yang Xuanwen body are actually greater."

"This should be difficult, otherwise why would this physique be used as a cauldron."

"Of course it's difficult, otherwise the Yin-Yang Xuanwen body would not be used as a cauldron."

Xu Yuan did not deny it, and his tone was filled with a sigh:

"It's okay if she doesn't practice. Once the Yin-Yang Xuanwen Body embarks on the path of practice, the day when the Yin-Yang Dao Yun awakens is likely to be the time of her death."

Bai Muxi pondered for a moment and asked:

"Sir, are you going to help her?"

"Help? How?"

Xu Yuan asked back with a smile: "You should know whether outsiders can interfere with Dao Yun. Ran Qingmo created this opportunity for me, so I just made a good relationship with him."

As he said that, Xu Yuan looked at the back of the girl in front of him, and said in a faint tone:

"If this girl can survive, I will pick a peach and take her under my command. If she can't survive, it's her fate."

Dad really taught Xu Yuan a lot of things with his words and deeds.

Sowing seeds, not fertilizer.

The cost of careful cultivation is too high, and it is uncertain whether it will grow crooked due to excessive fertilization.

So just sow the seeds, and the people who grow up will naturally come into your sight, and then you can pick peaches with your own power.

As his thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Yuan suddenly smiled:

"Let's not talk about this girl first,

"Mu Xi, what do you think of Feng Xianru?"

"."

Bai Muxi's eyes changed slightly. After absorbing the new information, his thoughts surged for a moment, and he replied softly:

"Young Master, do you mean that Feng Xianru also saw through the girl's hiding, so he wanted to use her as a cauldron to comprehend the essence of Tao?"

As he spoke, a hint of doubt flashed in Xiaobai's eyes:

"If this is the case, the reason why the boy forced this girl out of Qifeng Hall makes sense. If she was discovered by the Black Scale Guards, Feng Fangming would most likely be sent to Di'an City. "

"Then why is it near the Feng family ancestral temple?" Xu Yuan asked suddenly: "Wouldn't it be better to send her to other deep mountains and old forests, but it is the territory of this ancestral temple."

Bai Muxi frowned:

"Easy to keep an eye on? Judging from the way the girl looks forward and backward, Feng Xianru seems to come here often, looking at the girl while taking the treasures."

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and shook his head:

"I'm not sure. With something like this happening, there's a high chance that I'll have to deal with this side genius during this trip. I'll just ask him directly then."

After saying this, Lin Hai fell into silence.

About two-quarters of an hour later, the girl who was leading the way quickly stopped in front of a stone wall, looked back at Xu Yuan, and whispered timidly:

"Sir, we are here."

Settle down and look around.

This is a place at the bottom of a cliff, surrounded by forests on three sides and a steep wall on one side. There is no cave at all.

After once again using his spiritual vision to scan for a moment, Xu Yuancai noticed faint formation fluctuations on the cliff in front of him.

Such a mysterious illusion.

Fortunately, that boy was lucky enough to find this place in this vast forest.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Xu Yuan walked directly towards the cliff. At this time, Feng Ziming beside him hurriedly said:

"Sir, wait a minute, you will get hurt if you go in like this. You need blood to enter this cave."

As she spoke, she opened her coat and pulled out a short blade, and was about to cut it on her white little hand. Judging from the scars on her palm, it was obvious that she often did this.

"Buzz——"

But this time, before she could finish her words, a buzzing sound suddenly spread towards the mist of the mountain forest, centered on Xu Yuan.

When everything fell silent, the mountain wall in front of him had disappeared, replaced by the entrance to a deep cave.

Xu Yuan casually pressed the blade in the girl's hand, and asked softly in her stunned eyes:

"Feng Xianru entered here and has been using your blood?"

"Ah no."

After a brief moment of daze, the girl shook her head like a rattle and stumbled: "He usually uses his own blood. He only taught me a few times, but... why can't you, Master, start the formation without using blood?"

"Because my mother is Feng Qian'er."

The collateral line requires blood as proof to open the formation, but the direct line only needs to connect its own source energy to the formation to open it directly.

"oh"

Feng Ziming responded softly, lowering her eyes and wondering what she was thinking.

Inside the cave is a meticulously repaired straight passage, three feet long, three feet wide and one high, extending to the end of the field of vision. There are numerous formations hidden in it that scatter dangerous light.

As soon as they stepped into the corridor, the four people were immediately greeted by the numerous bright lanterns hanging upside down directly above the corridor. They moved towards the depths of the corridor. The swaying firelights in the lamps were of different colors. There were nine lights in total, but now there were only four inside. The lamp is lit.

Feng Ziming led the way and said softly:

"Every bright light here will create an illusion. Only by breaking through that illusion can you light up the light and move forward. I have been here for half a year and have lit up four."

"."

Xu Yuan's eyes were very calm as he looked at the corridor that looked like a copy of the design.

A country cannot be left without an owner for a day. In order to prevent the direct bloodline from being accidentally cut off, the ancestors of the Feng family set up nine tests in the ancestral hall. If the collateral branches light up nine lanterns, they have the right to inherit the direct line.

However, Feng Ziming's words slightly attracted Xu Yuan's attention.

After walking a long distance, Xu Yuan suddenly asked softly:

"Didn't Feng Xianru himself come to break into the Nine Mysterious Lantern Array?"

Feng Ziming thought for a while and answered truthfully:

"No, he waits for me at the entrance every time."

"."

Hearing this answer, Xu Yuan's expression instantly became strange.

But I haven’t had time to speak yet,

Almost at the same time,

Except for Feng Ziming, the iron-clad rookie, Xu Yuan and the others looked towards the entrance of the corridor almost at the same time.

And there,

A young man in white clothes with a handsome face slowly walked in.
