Chapter 358: Seeing Huo Feng Again (1/2)

Qushui Manor is located beside the Chidao Road, 50 miles west of Zhuxian Town.

It is called a mountain manor, but it is more like a prosperous town.

The high-rise Qushui Manor is leaning against the middle of the mountain, overlooking the Chidao Road below. The pavilions, towers, carved railings and jade bricks in the manor can be called luxurious and noble.

Even if it is the palace of Lu Heng's previous life, in terms of style and momentum, it is definitely not as good as the ordinary mountain manor in this fairy world.

Although the area of ​​Qushui Manor is definitely not as large as the Forbidden City.

At the foot of the mountain, there are many tenants living, and there are crops in the fields farther away.

It looks like an ancient scene where a big landlord enslaves many villagers.

But in fact, these tenants only need to hand in a small amount of food. If there is a disaster year, the practitioners of Qushui Manor will also distribute relief food and clothing to the tenants.

And under the protection of the practitioners, the tenants here basically don't have to worry about the threat of demons, and they live much more comfortably than ordinary villagers.

The reason is that most of the tenants near Qushui Manor are descendants of servants who have served the practitioners for generations.

These villagers have served the practitioners of Qushui Manor for generations, doing chores in the manor, and have long been considered half members of Qushui Manor.

Most of the practitioners do not need to eat, and their desire for material things is not great. In addition, the productivity of this world is ridiculously high, and the practitioners do not need to exploit and enslave ordinary mortals at all.

Therefore, the atmosphere in Qushui Manor is harmonious, and all the tenants and villagers are full of affection for the manor.

——Of course, the villagers in ordinary villages will definitely not be as comfortable as here.

And Lu Heng's arrival did not cause much waves in Qushui Manor.

The main reason is that Lu Heng did not disclose his identity, but only came to Qushui Manor as a friend of Gu Yin, so Qushui Manor did not know that the man in white was the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain that has been rumored recently.

In Qushui Manor, Gu Yin's cultivation is unique, higher than his father, the owner of the manor. He has condensed the five qi in his chest and started to nurture the three hua on his head.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Gu Yin is already a successful Taoist.

But in Qushui Manor, Gu Yin's presence is not strong.

This musician, who was spotted by a master and taken out for cultivation when he was young, rarely returned to Qushui Manor for hundreds of years. After his master was killed, Gu Yin's return times were even fewer.

For Qushui Manor, Gu Yin is more like an outsider who only exists in legends. Many young people of the new generation have only occasionally heard the stories of this family elder in the conversations of their elders.

Although he has returned now, Gu Yin has never cared about the affairs of the manor. He just lives in his own remote courtyard, alone and lonely. He even drove away the chores assigned to him by the manor.

When Lu Heng arrived, the owner of the manor wanted to arrange a few maids to serve him, but was also rejected by Lu Heng.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone in Qushui Manor, Lu Heng, who came to visit, was indeed Gu Yin's friend. Both of them were lonely and eccentric.

Although Lu Heng refused the errand arranged by the manor, he did not refuse the delicious food in the manor.

Lu Heng even asked the kitchen to cook one dish after another without hesitation, and sat in Gu Yin's yard every day to eat and drink.

The appetite of cultivators is not to be underestimated. Even the two little kids Wuyou and Wuyu, who were not very skilled, ate with relish and had their mouths full of oil.

The brother and sister who had been wandering in the wilderness for three months finally ate the food of the human world. How could they not be excited?

While the brother and sister were enjoying a feast, Lu Heng was different.

Most of the time, Lu Heng sat aside and chatted with Gu Yin about some trivial matters, and listened to Gu Yin's experience of wandering around the world with his master's physical body in recent years.

I also learned that Gu Yin had actually gone to Lingshan Mountain to seek help from the Ten Witches of Lingshan Mountain in order to save his master.

It was a pity that even though the Ten Witches of Lingshan Mountain had powerful medical skills, they could not do anything to this soulless body and could not help Gu Yin.

Although Gu Yin's courtyard was remote, it was located on the slope of the mountainside, with an extremely wide view. The pavilion where the two were sitting could overlook most of Qushui Manor, with a wide view.

At noon on the fourth day after Lu Heng moved into Qushui Manor, a group of strange guests came to the gate of Qushui Manor.

It can be seen that the status of these guests is very high. The owner of the manor personally came out to greet them, and the welcome ceremony was very lively.

Sitting in the yard, Lu Heng and Gu Yin looked at the scene at the gate from a distance. Lu Heng smiled and said, "It seems that the manor has come to the real guests."

Lu Heng smiled and made a joke.

He had actually recognized who the people who came to Qushui Manor were. The leader was wearing a red robe, with a burly figure and red hair and beard. It was the big man in the capital, Lie Lao, whom he had met in Zhuxian Town before.

Lu Heng didn't expect that he would see him again in Qushui Manor just four days later.

Gu Yin glanced over there and was also a little confused: "At this time, Lie Lao should be going to exterminate the demons, why would he come to Qushui Manor?"

Gu Yin was puzzled.

After a while, Lie Lao was welcomed into the manor, and Qushui Manor became lively.

From Lu Heng and his friends, they could clearly see the crowds in the whole Qushui Manor. It was clear that a banquet was going to be held to entertain the guests. Everywhere was decorated with red and green, and it was extremely festive.

But even in such a lively atmosphere, Gu Yin's courtyard was still deserted, as if it was not in the same world as the whole Qushui Manor.

After another half an hour, a middle-aged man came out of the courtyard. He was Gu Yin's second brother, Qu Fengchun.

——That’s right, Gu Yin’s surname is not actually Gu, her original name is Qu Fengyu.

It was after his master took him under his wing that his master felt that the name Qu Fengyu was unpleasant and that Gu Yin had a cold personality, so he gave him a new name.

After entering the courtyard, Qu Fengchun walked straight to the small pavilion where Lu Heng and Gu Yin were. After politely greeting Lu Heng, he looked at Gu Yin.

He said: "Fifth brother, father asked you to go out to meet guests. Mr. Lie is coming to visit today. The whole village of Qushui Village should treat him carefully and not neglect him."

"Mr. Lie admires you very much and wants to invite you to the lobby to talk."

Qu Fengchun's words made Gu Yin frown slightly.

He said: "I told my father that during this period, I have friends who need to be entertained. Don't call me for matters in the village. Why are you asking me to meet the guests now? When Mr. Lie asked, he said I was not here. Zhuangzhong.”

Guyin was extremely resistant to this matter.

Qu Fengchun spread his hands helplessly and said, "Mr. Lie wants to see you, so you can't help but give me face, right?"

Gu Yin said indifferently: "Lao Lie said he wanted to see me before. I have already obeyed my father's words and went to Fuyu Tower to attend his conference. I have already given him face."

However, it was okay that Gu Yin didn't say anything about it. Qu Fengchun stared at him when he mentioned it.

"How dare you mention it! My father asked you to go to Fuyu Tower to meet Mr. Lie, but you ran away halfway without even saying hello. Such rude behavior is simply embarrassing!"

Qu Fengchun's accusation made Gu Yin slightly silent.

Just when Guyin wanted to speak, Lu Heng said with a smile: "Since Mr. Lie wants to see you, brother Guyin, let's go and meet you. This old man Lie is not bad, but he is a little too enthusiastic. Just treat it as a good deed." , Let the old man be happy, don’t worry about me.”

When Lu Heng spoke like this, his voice paused slightly, then he stood up and said to Qu Fengchun, "Let's go."

After saying that, the aloof musician walked straight away, ignoring his brother beside him.

Qu Fengchun was very dissatisfied with this, but with the foreigner nearby, he couldn't get angry and could only follow him without saying a word.

Lu Heng, on the other hand, was sitting in the courtyard, watching Gu Yin's leaving figure and letting out a long sigh.

Xiao Ai, with silver hair and animal ears, came to his side silently.

Also watching Gu Yin leave, Xiao Ai frowned and said, "Senior Gu Yin's situation at home is a bit embarrassing..."

Lu Heng sighed and said, "As expected, Gu Yin is withdrawn and not good at communicating. He also left home since he was a child and has hardly been back for hundreds of years. He doesn't have much affection for this place."

"He came back this time just because he was frustrated and wanted to find a secluded place to retreat, but Qushui Village is no longer what he remembered."

"Just like Xiao Ai, if you practice for another few decades and then return to Shuisheng Village, you will feel strange."

Lu Heng's words made Xiao Ai slightly startled.

Then Xiao Ai shook his head and said: "Xiao Ai is already very strange now that he has returned to Shuisheng Village."

"But Xiao Ai doesn't have to go back to Aquatic Village."

She looked at Lu Heng's profile and said, "Xiao Ai's home is no longer an aquatic village."

The little girl's words made Lu Heng laugh and said, "That's true. One good thing about Hanyu Mountain is that there are enough people."

"Even if I disappear in the future, there will still be Sun Yanguyan and the others to keep you entertained. Otherwise, I'm really worried that you will be like Gu Yin and not even have a warm place to go."

Lu Heng's words made the little girl frown slightly.

She wanted to ask the Wolf God not to make such a joke, but looking at the Wolf God's cheerful face, the little dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared.

There was a lot of excitement in Qushui Village.

But the courtyard where Lu Heng and Xiao Ai were in was silent.

It's like being in Hanyu Mountain, only one person and one wolf of each other exists.

——It’s just that this tranquility was quickly broken.

Gu Yin's elder brother Qu Fenglin appeared in the courtyard and walked straight towards Lu Heng.

Facing Lu Heng, Qu Fenglin said with a smile: "My father heard that Mr. Huo stayed alone in the yard and blamed me. He asked me to invite Mr. Huo to a banquet... I wonder if Mr. Huo would like to give me a favor?"

Lu Heng stood up with a smile and said: "Master Qu invited me, so Huo Feng will naturally go... Let's go, let's go, Huo is already hungry, and we must have a big meal tonight."

Lu Heng did not refuse as lonely as Qu Fenglin was worried about, but smiled and left Qu Fenglin without any shirk.

That free and friendly smile made Qu Fenglin greatly surprised. The fifth brother's friend... was actually such a good person?

He thought that Mr. Huo Fenghao had the same lonely, aloof and weird personality as his fifth brother.

Now it seems that it is completely different.

Qu Fenglin felt slightly relieved.

The main banquet hall is in the middle area of ​​Qushui Villa.

The courtyard here is vast, with cornices and brackets, and vegetation and trees, making it beautiful. There are flowing water and koi swimming in the water, which is as beautiful as a fairyland.

When Lu Heng arrived, the banquet was already about to begin.

There were seven tables set up in the courtyard, and the people sitting there were all monks with extraordinary cultivation.

The old man, Lie, sat at the main table with Qu Min, the owner of Qushui Manor. Next to him was Nangong Hao, the city lord of Zhuxian Town, and several other top monks.

It is worth mentioning that among the Qu family brothers, only Gu Yin sat at the main table, while the rest of the brothers sat at ordinary seats.

Lu Heng followed Qu Fenglin and sat next to Qu Fenglin. This table was quite far away from the main table. It was obvious that although Lu Heng was lucky enough to be invited to attend, he could only sit at the bottom of the table.

Behind Lu Heng, Xiao Ai with silver hair and animal ears followed him all the way, which surprised Qu Fenglin.

After entering, Xiao Ai did not go outside to sit at the same table with the cultivators' followers and sword servants, but followed him into the main hall and stood behind Lu Heng.

This scene surprised Qu Fenglin.

Why do you have to bring a sword servant to such an important occasion... Isn't this too rude?

Does this Mr. Huo Feng Huo know etiquette...

He looked at Lu Heng, wanting to say something but stopping.

Xiao Ai glanced at him and said, "No need to arrange a seat for me, just pretend I don't exist."

After saying that, Xiao Ai stood behind Lu Heng, and her mind moved, but she hid her breath in an instant.

Even Qu Fenglin, who had been staring at her, almost ignored the little girl standing next to her at this moment.

Such a wonderful breath-hiding technique instantly made Qu Fenglin's eyes widen.

This... Who is Mr. Huo Feng Huo? How can a sword servant be so powerful?

Surprised, Qu Fenglin stopped talking and turned his head away from the sword servant.

Lu Heng smiled bitterly, turned around and glared at Xiao Ai, silently mouthing: "Stinky girl."

The little girl with silver hair and animal ears looked serious, standing straight like a statue, and didn't see Lu Heng's mouth shape at all.

In response, Lu Heng shrugged helplessly and didn't bother to say anything about this stinky girl.

Anyway, once Xiao Ai's Qi-hiding technique was launched, her presence disappeared instantly. At the entire banquet, there were no more than a handful of people who could detect her presence.

Thinking of this, Lu Heng smiled and turned his head, and began to brag politely with Qu Fenglin and the other cultivators at this table.

But he ignored the surprised look at the main table.

——When Lu Heng came in, although there was no pomp, low-key and ordinary. But the moment he came in, he attracted Lie Yang's attention.

Lie Yang looked at Yunmen Huo Feng, who had met him once in Zhuxian Town, in astonishment. He didn't expect to see him here again.

And Nangong Hao obviously found Lu Heng.

His brows slightly wrinkled.

Then, under the gaze of Nangong Hao and Lie Yang, the little girl with silver hair and animal ears behind Lu Heng directly disappeared from everyone's mind.

Even with their cultivation, if they didn't observe deliberately, they couldn't detect that there was a little girl standing there.

Such a wonderful breath hiding technique...

Nangong Hao, stunned, couldn't help but send a voice transmission: "Master Lie, this Yunmen Huo Feng appeared again... Should we greet him?"
