Chapter 23: The Huang Mansion Talks About the Difficulty with Wine
It is said that wine is the best thing that can bring men closer together. After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the two of them had a very happy conversation and even agreed to go to the secret land of Zhongzhou together in half a month to find opportunities.
Dufeng paid close attention when he came here. Although the Huang Mansion looked very imposing, it could not conceal its decay. I guess it was not a big family in Zhongzhou City, and the other people were probably about the same.
It would be too much. So I asked carefully:
"Brother Huang just said that I have occasionally heard rumors in my family, but I don't know how much you know about this secret realm? And you are so young, is the family so confident that you will risk your lives?"
Huang Shuai and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They drained the wine in one gulp and said to Taoist Feng with a sigh: "Brother Dufeng Taoist, I don't know something. Although our four families used to be well-known in Zhongzhou City,
However, because we have always disliked fighting, our power was gradually squeezed by other aristocratic families, and the glory of the past has faded away. As for the few of us, although it seems to outsiders that we are still nourishing, we have achieved a certain level through our own efforts.
There are even some good people who nicknamed a few of us the Fourth Young Masters of Zhongzhou. But after all, we are not the eldest sons. Do you think our life will really be so easy under such circumstances? So no matter
From any aspect, we must go to this secret realm of Zhongzhou. And there is an unwritten rule in the family: as long as you can come out of the secret realm alive, even if you only have one breath, and you don’t bring anything out, you will be directly promoted to
Family elder!"
Dufeng was stunned when he heard this. Yes, no one wants to see people who threaten them jumping around in front of their eyes every day. From this point of view, letting them participate in this secret realm of Zhongzhou is a very good choice. If they are destined to
If it is not easy to fold it, then the family is just missing a so-called genius. Although it may have some impact on the strength of the family, in the long run it will be more beneficial to the stability and development of the family. In the end
The main thing is that even if they all come out of the secret realm, they will be directly promoted to family elders according to the clan rules, and they will not be qualified to compete for the clan leader. This will be the best result for the family, but in the secret realm
It is extremely dangerous, who is sure that they can come out safely?
Thinking of this, Dufeng looked at the four people with some sympathy. It seemed that he had known his fate for a long time, but he could not change or resist it at all. Therefore, although his mood was a little low, everything was still as usual. Dufeng wanted to change the subject, so he spoke
Said: "So, among the several families, there should be many seniors who have entered the secret realm, right? I guess you must have your own plan? Can you tell me about it and help clear up my doubts?"
After hearing this, several people exchanged glances, communicated secretly, and finally nodded, so that Huang Shuai first toasted and apologized:
"Brother Dufeng Dao is laughing at me, but this matter is really of great importance, and the information between the four of us is all shared, so we have to reach a consensus before we dare to accept it, so please don't be surprised!"
Dufeng stood up quickly, took the wine glass with both hands, and said nonchalantly:
"Brother Huang is out of touch when he says this. Not to mention that we just met today, even if we are a husband and a son who get along day and night, there must be no secrets between them? You have your own reasons to be careful about such confidential matters, why?
Do you need an explanation? It turns out that Pindao’s request is a bit rude, so I should ask some of you to forgive me!”
After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine. This move immediately won the favor of several people present. Han Zhong couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Dufeng Dao has such a broad mind, his future achievements will be limitless!" The others also nodded.
Harmony.
Dufeng laughed dumbly, "Ah? Haha, why did the matter of our talk about the secret realm turn to Pindao again? You know how much you weigh, that is, if you are less than the superior, you are more than the inferior! You and I are Taoists.
It is to go against nature and rely on the way of heaven to replenish one's life. Even if there are all kinds of means, how many people can really achieve immortality? So don't force it, let nature take its course, go with the flow, and instead follow the way of heaven."
The four people's faces looked like they were just waking up from a dream. They stood up together and bowed respectfully to Dufeng: "Listening to your words is really better than reading the books of sages. It made my level suddenly enlightened. Today's trip is indeed worthwhile and I have learned a lesson!"
The few people were polite and sat down again. This time the atmosphere was more relaxed and the relationship became much closer. After chatting for a few words, Huang Shuai spoke again: "I just talked about the secret realm. In fact, regarding the secret realm,
If the four of us say we don’t know, then basically no one in Zhongzhou will know!”
There was a hint of pride on his face as he spoke, "Our four families are the earliest four families in Zhongzhou City. Although I dare not say that they are as old as Zhongzhou City, they are similar. Our four families even existed because of the secret realm.
of!"
Dufeng was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that these small families who seemed to have been defeated would still have such a past. He really didn't dare to underestimate it. General Huang
Dufeng saw the change in his expression and didn't rush to speak.
"Yes, we went to the secret realm this time. The elders of several families studied together for more than half a year and provided us with a relatively safest plan. After all, they also hope that their families can become stronger again," he said
The one in question is Zhao Ruishan, who looks a bit honest and speaks with a lot of confidence.
Huang Shuai nodded and poured wine for everyone before saying: "When the secret realm is opened, the elders of our four families will each give us a map. Only when the four of us are together will the map be complete.
The picture. The destination in the picture is an abandoned cave, which was discovered by our ancestors thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, it has never been opened. The main task of us going in this time is to see the baptism of time and the restrictions of the cave.
Loose or not, if we can enter by chance, the income will definitely allow us to become the kings of Zhongzhou again and regain our former glory!"
Seeing the enthusiasm and excitement on the faces of several people, Dufeng secretly shook his head. If there really is such a treasure, how could it be easily found? So he said with some confusion: "According to what you said, you are here
The risk of traveling is not great? And there may be great opportunities, so why tell Pindao this? Aren’t you afraid that if we travel together, we will get a share of the pie?"
Several people laughed when they heard what he said. Even Guo Shujun, who had not spoken much, couldn't help but say:
"Brother Taoist, you are too modest. Everyone knows what kind of existence Baihua Pavilion is. It can be said that it is not an accident that Fairy Rumeng came to Zhongzhou this time to invite us, because our ancestors can be said to be related to Baihua Pavilion.
There is quite a bit of friendship, because although our current situation is not good, Baihua Pavilion still takes great care of our family, so we often interact with each other. But what we didn't expect was that Daoist Brother Dufeng showed up on the way.
! What’s even more surprising is that she is actually accompanied by Fairy Wanruo, one of the principals of Baihua Pavilion! Could such a being be an unknown person? The identity that Baihua Pavilion values so much must be extraordinary, so it is right to say so.
We have some ambitions to reach higher.”
Dufeng waved his hands repeatedly: "You guys, please don't say that. I am just an ordinary disciple of Xuantian Sect. This is also my first time going down the mountain to experience." After thinking about it, he took out the inspection token from his waist and put it on
On the table: "The sect leader gave me this thing before I left. At that time, I didn't say anything special about it. I didn't know the weight of this token until after Zhongzhou. But as to why this thing was given to me, it's really surprising.
Incomprehensible!”
Huang, Han, Zhao, and Guo stepped forward to observe carefully, and their faces showed surprise. Huang Shuai exclaimed:
"We had already guessed that Brother Dao had an extraordinary identity, but we didn't expect that he was actually the patrolling envoy of the Xuantian Sect! You must know that according to family records, although the Xuantian Sect was established not long ago, it has very strict rules and good governance. This
It is also an important factor in the rapid growth and development in a short period of time, and this inspection order represents the prestige of Xuantian Sect. Wherever they go, the disciples of the sect and the affiliated sects must meet with the sect leader. If there is any disrespect for the sect rules or the laws,
He has the power to kill first and report later, and he represents the entire Xuantian Sect externally. Some people say that the patrol envoy is the second Xuantian Sect Master! Not only can he have the power to kill and kill, but he can also mobilize resources and manpower at will, not to mention the current Xuantian Sect.
At the height of the sun, it is only a matter of time before we are recognized by the Four Holy Lands and become the Fifth Holy Land. It seems that our brothers have really climbed to the top this time!"
Dufeng was a little unhappy, and stood up and said, "Pindao came here because he has the same spirit as everyone else, and thinks that you are friends, but I didn't expect that you all have such intentions. It is really Pindao who has misjudged the person."
, in this case, then I have to say goodbye!" After saying that, he started to walk out.
Huang Shuai sat next to him. When he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Dufeng. He said, "Brother Dao, don't be offended. Brother Guo is just telling the truth. But we are not taking advantage of Brother Dao, but sincerely think about it."
To join forces with Brother Tao, although our four families have many relevant records, our strength is slightly lacking, so this is where we need to rely on Brother Tao."
Dufeng said to him seriously: "I don't know about others, but even if other Xuantian Sect disciples enter the secret realm, I will not be with them. I am used to being alone."
Of course, Huang Shuai and others could hear the anger in these words, and looked at each other with a forced smile. They didn't expect such childishness, so they had to patiently say: "Brother Taoist, don't think too much. No matter how strong you are on your own, you have just entered the secret realm for the first time."
If you don’t know the direction, time will pass very quickly in the secret realm, and since ancient times, spiritual objects have always been inhabited by the virtuous. No one knows what you will gain. It cannot be yours, and it cannot be taken away if it is not yours.
Maybe Brother Dao can get the treasure he wants during this trip? Come on, come on, sit down and let's discuss it carefully."
After Dufeng heard what he said sincerely, he couldn't say any more about leaving. He took advantage of this and had to sit back again. Huang Shuai let out a long breath. Seeing that Dufeng wasn't talking, he stopped pushing and called a few people.
In front of him, he talked about some common sense in the secret realm and some preparations to be made. In fact, everyone knew it well. What Huang Shuai and others meant was that we would not go behind your back on such a confidential matter, but we would leave you
Dufeng knew that he was one of his own, but he still didn't refuse.
Why? Who doesn’t want to make himself stronger? Who wants to be a person without self? And after going down the mountain this time, he has always had a strange sense of crisis. You must know that monks are sometimes very sensitive, and let him
His worries were a lot heavier. He couldn't go back to his family, couldn't recognize his relatives, and had to recognize thieves as his relatives. Isn't it uncomfortable to live like this? Ever since he learned about his life experience, he had secretly made up his mind. If he had the chance and the ability,
He will kill all these guys with human faces and animal hearts without hesitation!
During the subsequent discussions, Dufeng occasionally made some suggestions, which was regarded as joining their small group by default. The discussion lasted for two hours, and all the details that could be thought of were settled, and they simply had dinner again.
Then they agreed on a place to meet, and then they dispersed one by one with some alcohol.
