() Looking at the rising smoke, Dongfang Sheng had a smile on his face.

His inference was indeed correct, and the whole night's work was not in vain.

Dongfang Sheng stood up and looked at the place where the smoke was rising. It turned out that it was not in the Yuntai Peak of Huashan Mountain, but to the west of it. It was no longer part of the Huashan Mountains geographically, but it was consistent with the Huashan Mountains.

Neighbor, close.

It was a mountain valley, but I couldn't tell how deep it was. From the top of the mountain, I could see lush flowers and trees, so I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the valley.

This curl of smoke rises from the middle of the mountain valley.

At this moment, Dongfang Sheng realized a little bit. The back mountain of Huashan Mountain, the back mountain of Huashan Mountain. I thought that this mountain valley was the back mountain of Huashan Mountain. However, Dongfang Sheng misunderstood. Looking for the five peaks of Huashan Mountain, it was no wonder that he could not find it.

I hope what I guess is correct!

Dongfang Sheng ignored the hunger in his belly, noted the place where the smoke rose, and quickly ran to which mountain valley.

The road in this mountain valley is rugged and difficult to walk, but the scenery is very beautiful. There are red maple leaves all around, which is as fascinating as a fairyland on earth. Although it is a good place, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and

And deep in the mountains and forests, Dongfang Sheng didn't find a single house along the way.

Without anyone, Dongfang Sheng was not only not disappointed, but also had a sense of expectation!

If you can see people everywhere, why live in seclusion?

The sword battle in Huashan back then made Feng Qingyang live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and no longer meet the disciples of Huashan. This kind of sparsely populated and beautiful place is actually suitable. Coupled with the smoke just seen on the top of the mountain, Dongfang Sheng was determined.

After walking in the valley for about half an hour, Dongfang Sheng found the place where the smoke was rising.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a flat mountain land with two small thatched huts. The smoke rises from one of the small thatched huts. In front of the small thatched hut, there are several pieces of clothing hung on the rack.

Dongfang Sheng was a little excited. After so much effort, Feng Qingyang's hermitage finally appeared before his eyes.

Before going up, Dongfang Sheng tidied up his makeup by a nearby stream, cleaned up the stains on his body, and rearranged his somewhat disheveled hair, and then slowly stepped forward and walked towards the small hut.

There was no one in the courtyard. Listening carefully, the sound of cooking could be heard from time to time in the small hut on the right where smoke was rising, so Dongfang Sheng walked to the small hut on the right.

The door was ajar, and a figure could be vaguely seen through the gap, busy in the kitchen.

Dongfang Sheng did not push the door open, but knocked politely.

If the person inside was really Feng Qingyang, with Feng Qingyang's strength, he might have been discovered when he walked into the courtyard.

The door opened, and a kind-faced old man with white hair, white beard, and white clothes appeared in front of Dongfang Sheng. He smiled and looked at Dongfang Sheng kindly.

"Is he Feng Qingyang?"

Dongfang Sheng quickly stepped aside and gave a slight salute to the kind old man. At the same time, the internal energy in his body was transmitted to the ground through the soles of his feet and surged toward the old man.

If the old man was not Feng Qingyang, but an ordinary commoner, this internal force would pass directly under his feet without any fluctuation.

But as a result, the internal force passed directly without any reaction.

this……

Dongfang Sheng took a new look at the old man. The old man had a smile on his face and was very kind. He stood very upright and was very sonorous and powerful. The whole person gave Dongfang Sheng the impression of being a great man.

"This little friend, why did you come to visit so early in the morning?"

"To be honest, when I visited Huashan Mountain, I found the scenery here to be beautiful. I got lost and lost my way. I had no choice but to spend the night in the mountain. Just then I saw smoke rising from the cooking pots, so I came here to ask the old man about the way down the mountain.

."

Dongfang Sheng behaved very politely.

"That's it." The old man nodded, understanding Dongfang Sheng's difficulty, and immediately pointed out to Dongfang Sheng how to get out of the valley and down the mountain. Dongfang Sheng quickly thanked him: "Thank you, senior, for your advice."

Seeing that Dongfang Sheng was about to leave, the old man stopped him again and said, "My little friend must be very tired and hungry after staying in the mountains all night. It's not too late to have breakfast here before going down the mountain."

A smile appeared on Dongfang Sheng's face. The old man's move had already been calculated in his mind. He also expected that the old man would save him for breakfast, so he asked this question.

Is he Feng Qingyang?

But in terms of appearance and location, the old man fits the bill very well.

However, after the trial just now, the old man felt like an ordinary old man, without any strength at all.

So, is he Feng Qingyang?

At the dinner table, Dongfang Sheng thanked the old man for inviting him to breakfast and asked him his name.

However, just when Dongfang Sheng was looking forward to it, the old man avoided this topic and chatted with Dongfang Sheng about other things, such as the scenery of Huashan...

The old man seemed to know Dongfang Sheng's intention, but until after breakfast, Dongfang Sheng still didn't know whether the old man was Feng Qingyang or not.

Now that breakfast has been over for nearly half an hour, it is obviously not suitable to stay any longer, so Dongfang Sheng can only leave helplessly.

After leaving the old man's place, Dongfang Sheng didn't go there. Instead, he stayed under a fruit tree diagonally opposite the mountainside for a day. When he was tired, he leaned on the tree and took a nap. When he was hungry, he picked fruits from the tree.

Abs until dark!

In order not to be exposed, Dongfang Sheng took off the white robe and covered it with mud on the ground, turning the white robe into a gray mess. After doing all this, taking advantage of the night, Dongfang Sheng came to this place quietly.

The place of the old man.

Dongfang Sheng believed that this old man was Feng Qingyang, but there was no direct evidence to prove it.

If you can't test it during the day, you have to use force to test it at night.

With catlike steps, he quietly lurked outside the house. There were two small huts. The one on the right was the kitchen, and the one on the left was the old man's resting place. He used a dagger to quietly pry open the door bolt of the hut, and Dongfang Sheng quietly touched the old man.

bedside.

He held the dagger high, ready to stab the old man in the chest.

But at this moment, the old man on the bed suddenly kicked Dongfang Sheng and forced him back. He stood up quickly with a roar and stood on the bed, looking at Dongfang Sheng warily.

In order to obtain accurate information, Dongfang Sheng did not speak, only acted, and once again struck the old man's chest with the dagger.

It's a pity that Dongfang Sheng used the dagger without blinking. After just a few rounds, Feng Qingyang kicked his wrist, and the dagger was kicked away. Without the dagger, Dongfang Sheng started fighting with the old man with Liuyang Palm.

Fight.

After several fights, Dongfang was as victorious as a formidable enemy, and a few drops of sweat flowed from his forehead.

During this confrontation, the old man's identity was revealed.
