Chapter 357 Lord Feng
Mu Qingluan led Xiao Ling and others through the sky above Xingyun Pavilion, surrounded by rolling mountain peaks and lush forests. The sun shines through the gaps in the clouds and shines on them, forming beams of light that make several people feel a sense of warmth.
Xiao Ling and the others followed Mu Qingluan, sometimes passing by the mountain peaks, sometimes passing through the clouds and mists, feeling the unique charm of the mysterious space of Xingyun Pavilion.
From time to time, their eyes were attracted by the scenery below. Those exotic flowers, rare plants, and rare birds and animals were all rare spectacles rarely seen in the outside world.
As the flight progressed, the buildings of Xingyun Pavilion gradually came into view. Those buildings are built on the mountain and are well-proportioned. There are both simple stone buildings and exquisite wooden pavilions. They blend harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment, showing a unique beauty.
While Mu Qingluan was flying ahead to lead the way, he told Xiao Ling and the others every detail of Xingyun Pavilion. Her voice is clear and sweet, like a clear spring in the mountains, gurgling and refreshing.
Xiao Ling and others also followed her figure and chatted one after another. Perhaps it was because of Mu Qingluan's lively and cheerful personality, or perhaps because she was a disciple of Master Feng, that Xiao Ling and others could not help but develop a fondness for her. The relationship between them unknowingly changed. Be more harmonious.
After traveling for a period of time, they arrived at the residence of Lord Feng. This is a simple building located on the top of a mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
Mu Qingluan landed lightly on the platform in front of her residence, folding her fighting wings. She turned to face Xiao Ling and his group, smiled and made an invitation gesture: "We are here, Master Xiao Ling, everyone, please follow me. Come.”
Xiao Ling and others followed closely and landed on the platform. Their eyes were attracted by this residence, and they saw that its architectural style was simple and solemn, revealing a calmness that had accumulated over the years.
In front of the door of the residence, there are some strange runes carved, which seem to contain some mysterious power.
Seeing that they were interested in the residence, Mu Qingluan smiled and explained: "These runes were carved by my master himself. They can not only protect the residence from outside intrusion, but also regulate the surrounding environment, making this place The four seasons are like spring and the climate is pleasant.”
"It can be seen that Master Fengxian Pavilion is also quite accomplished in formations." Xiao Ling looked around and said with a slight smile.
"That's just a little hobby of Master, not a big achievement." Mu Qingluan smiled modestly, speaking lightly, but the pride in his eyes could not be concealed.
Then, Mu Qingluan turned to Xiao Ling and the others and said, "Please wait here for a moment. I will go in and inform the master first, so as not to make a sudden visit and seem a bit abrupt."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, understanding this. You have to let Master Feng clarify the situation first. It would be a bit embarrassing if he just came to the door like this, right?
Mu Qingluan smiled softly, turned around and walked into Master Feng's residence, leaving Xiao Ling and others outside the door. The door of the residence slowly closed, blocking out the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Xiao Ling and his companions sat down at the stone table outside their residence and started chatting. The stone table is located next to a green bamboo forest. The bamboo leaves sway gently in the wind and make a rustling sound, giving people a sense of tranquility.
"I don't know what kind of person Master's old friend Feng Zun is. I heard Master said before that Feng Zun is over a hundred years old. Isn't he a hunched old man? ?”
Qing Lin tapped her chin lightly with her slender fingers, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Haha, this is not necessarily the case. I have heard people say before that Lord Feng is very handsome in appearance, but he is a famous handsome man in Zhongzhou." Xiao Ling smiled softly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"Haha, that's true." Yao Chen's voice had a hint of smile, as if he was recalling the glory of the past, "That guy Feng Xian is indeed a handsome man, but compared with me back then, he is still a little behind. Big cut.”
There was a hint of pride in Yao Chen's words. I think back then, he was the Prince Charming in the hearts of countless women in Zhongzhou, and many of the most beautiful women in heaven admired him endlessly and took the initiative to express their love for him.
If Yao Chen hadn't devoted all his attention to cultivating Han Feng as his disciple, he might not have remained single.
Because of this, Yao Chen cut off contact with Qing Xianzi, who had a true love for him. Even when Xuan Yi lowered her body and confessed her love to him, he rejected it after a moment's hesitation.
"Speaking of which, when we see Feng Xian later, let's not talk about me for now. I want to give him an unexpected surprise." Yao Chen chuckled and touched his beard.
"No problem, Mr. Yao, I understand what you mean, and I will do as you say when the time comes..." Xiao Ling nodded in agreement, with a relaxed smile in his tone.
As the few people chatted casually, time passed by unconsciously. About five minutes later, Mu Qingluan's figure appeared at the door of the residence again.
Mu Qingluan showed a faint smile and said to Xiao Ling and his party: "Master invites me, Master Xiao Ling, everyone, please come with me."
She immediately made a gesture of invitation, and then took the lead to lead the way for Xiao Ling and the others.
"Thank you, Miss Qingluan..."
Xiao Ling and others also stopped talking. After nodding, they stood up and followed Mu Qingluan's footsteps.
After passing through the gate, Xiao Ling and the others followed Mu Qingluan's footsteps and passed through several winding corridors. On both sides of these corridors, a variety of flowers and plants are carefully planted. They sway gently in the breeze, and their light floral fragrance permeates the air, making people feel a sense of tranquility and comfort.
At the end of the corridor, what comes into view is an exquisite wooden loft. The windows of the attic are slightly open. Through these windows, you can get a glimpse of the simplicity and elegance of the interior decoration. Every furnishing reveals a kind of beauty that has accumulated over time.
Mu Qingluan stopped in front of the attic, turned around and said to Xiao Ling and the others easily: "Master is inside, let's go in." After saying that, Mu Qingluan gently opened the door and turned aside to let Xiao Ling They went in first, and followed Xiao Ling and others.
When Xiao Ling and the others saw this, they didn't hesitate and walked into the attic first.
As they stepped into the wooden loft, a faint scent of vanilla greeted them, as if some unknown fragrance was gently swaying in the air.
The decoration inside the house is simple yet elegant, the wooden furniture exudes the fragrance of time, and there are a few simple calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, exuding a tranquil and far-reaching atmosphere, which makes people slow down involuntarily for fear of disturbing this. peaceful.
Looking inside the attic, one could see a man sitting leisurely on an antique wooden chair. He was covered in a gorgeous blue robe with intricate patterns embroidered on it, like the bright stars in the night sky, exuding a mysterious and charming luster.
Her silver hair is as smooth as silk, falling naturally to her shoulders, swaying gently in the breeze, revealing an unruly demeanor.
Although this man's face looks like he is only 27 or 28 years old, with clear outlines, fair skin, and handsome appearance, people may mistake him for a young nobleman at first glance.
However, his eyes revealed a depth and wisdom that was inconsistent with his appearance, as if he could see into people's hearts, making people immediately realize that his actual age was much more mature than he looked.
When Master Feng saw Xiao Ling and the others entering the attic, he stood up with a gentle smile on his face. His voice is magnetic, as if the spring breeze is blowing on your face, making people feel like a spring breeze:
"Welcome everyone, my name is Gu Ling, but everyone is more accustomed to calling me Lord Feng. If you don't mind, just call me Feng Lao."
"I heard before that a young monster with amazing talent and beauty appeared in Zhongzhou recently. Not only is he highly cultivated, but he has already reached the high-level Douzong at a young age. He can also refine eighth-grade and four-color elixirs. When I saw him today, As expected, Master Xiao Ling is really talented, and he is well-deserved for the title of 'Zhongzhou's No. 1 Prodigy'."
"Lao Feng has received the award. I am just lucky and have encountered some rare opportunities. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Zhongzhou. My achievements are far from being the 'number one genius'."
Xiao Ling smiled slightly. His attitude was neither arrogant nor humble, which showed his demeanor just right.
During the conversation between the two, Master Feng's eyes glanced at Xiao Ling and the others inadvertently. As Mu Qingluan described before, these four are at least Douzong-level experts, and the old man in red robe exudes the aura of a Douzong expert, even stronger than Fengzun himself. A little stronger.
What surprised Master Feng even more was that the reputation of this powerful red-robed Dou Zun in Zhongzhou did not seem to be very good. He had never heard of or seen him before.
Whether it was Xiao Ling, the three Douzong experts who seemed a little too young, and the Douzong expert who had never been seen before, they all made Master Feng's heart strings tighten. Although he had been prepared for it, when he saw it with his own eyes, it still made waves in his heart.
"This unfamiliar Dou Zun strongman should be the bodyguard hired by Xiao Ling. The appeal of this eighth-level alchemist is really extraordinary. I don't know what Xiao Ling has come to Xingyun Pavilion this time. But I heard that he had been with Xingyun Pavilion before. There has been a conflict in the Soul Palace, and it should not be to cause trouble.”
"Well, it would be great if that old guy Yao Chen hadn't done that thing back then. If Xingyun Pavilion had him, an eighth-grade peak alchemist, sitting in charge, I wouldn't have to be so cautious and walk on thin ice after all these years."
Although he thought so in his heart, Master Feng had a relaxed and easy-going smile on his face. He laughed and said to Xiao Ling: "Master Xiao Ling, you are too humble. However, I quite like your straightforward character. . Come on, everyone, please stop standing.”
Feng Zunzhe smiled and waved enthusiastically for Xiao Ling and the others to sit down. Then he took the first step and sat back on his wooden chair with a calm posture.
Xiao Ling and the others also smiled and nodded, and sat down on the other side of the table easily, as if they were back at home, without any restraint.
As the relaxed chat gradually unfolded, Xiao Ling also introduced the Little Medical Fairy, Qing Lin and Lord Tianhuo to Lord Feng. Their topics ranged from comparisons between the younger generation to some strange things in Zhongzhou. The atmosphere between them unknowingly became more and more harmonious, and the two sides gradually became familiar with each other.
Seeing that Xiao Ling and the others were easy-going and not pretentious at all, Master Feng gradually relaxed and the smile on his face became more sincere.
During the conversation, Lord Feng was also thinking secretly in his heart. Observing Xiao Ling's behavior, he found that Xiao Ling seemed to have a good impression of Xingyun Pavilion.
He had heard before that Xiao Ling had not joined any force before and even rejected Danta's invitation. If Xiao Ling could be invited to join Xingyun Pavilion, that would of course be the best thing.
Even if it doesn't work, it can at least keep him on good terms with Xingyun Pavilion, which is definitely a good thing with no harm to Xingyun Pavilion.
Mu Qingluan next to him was busy refilling tea and water for several people during the conversation, his movements were light and elegant.
When she saw that Xiao Ling, a peer of his age, could talk to her master so easily, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Ling with admiration and secretly admired him.
Although Xiao Ling is young, his strength has far surpassed those so-called young talents, so that when people first see him, it is difficult to classify him as a younger generation.
When the atmosphere was just right, Xiao Ling broke the relaxed chat with a chuckle and got straight to the point: "Speaking of which, I came here this time because I actually have good news to share with Mr. Feng."
Master Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a curious look, with a hint of expectation in his tone: "Oh? You have good news to tell me? Then I have to listen carefully."
As soon as Master Feng finished speaking, Xiao Ling across from him just smiled softly and did not answer the question in a hurry. This made Master Feng feel a little confused, and he didn't understand what kind of medicine Xiao Ling was selling in the gourd.
However, at this moment, a very familiar voice suddenly came into his ears, making his pupils shrink slightly and his heartbeat seemed to skip half a beat...
"Haha, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still the same. You haven't changed at all. It seems that you haven't improved much since you left me..." There was a hint of joking in the voice, but it was also full of emotion.
When Master Feng hurriedly turned his gaze to the direction from which the sound came, he saw the dark ring on Master Skyfire's finger tremble slightly, and an illusory figure slowly floated out from it.
It was a figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. Familiar because that face had long been deeply engraved in his memory, but unfamiliar because that figure was no longer the handsome and unrestrained figure it once was, but had become a lonely soul in the wild. ghost.
Master Feng's eyes were locked on that figure, and he was stunned for a moment. His hand unconsciously exerted force due to excitement, and the delicate tea cup instantly turned into powder in his palm. Hot tea splashed into his palm, but he seemed to be completely unaware.
His lips trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and trembling. After trying several times to speak, he finally said those two words in an almost choked voice: "Medicine...dust..."
When the name "Yao Chen" came out of Master Feng's mouth, Mu Qingluan, who was still listening to Xiao Ling's chat with great interest, was suddenly stunned.
She repeated the name weakly in her mouth, "Yao Chen, Yao Chen, the master of Xingyun Pavilion... Yao Chen!"
Speaking of this, there was already a hint of surprise in her voice.
Immediately, Mu Qingluan's eyes turned to Yao Chen's soul body, and she suddenly discovered that Yao Chen's appearance was exactly the same as the portrait of the ancestor in the sect.
Her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and she felt a surge of excitement in her heart: "Is this the Yao Chen who was famous in Zhongzhou Continent back then? It seems that the rise of Xingyun Pavilion is just around the corner."
Although Yao Chen is already a strong man of the older generation, the legendary stories he left in Zhongzhou are still talked about even after he disappeared many years ago. Although there are rumors that he has passed away, Yao Chen's name is still loud and recognizable in Zhongzhou.
As a disciple of Yao Chen's best friend Feng Zunzhe, Mu Qingluan heard about Yao Chen's deeds from Feng Zunzhe countless times. She naturally knew something about the legend of Yaochen, and she couldn't help but feel extremely excited.
However, what puzzled Mu Qingluan was that the Yao Zun in front of him didn't seem to be in good condition. Whether he could return to his former peak was still unknown. She looked at Yaochen with both expectation and worry in her heart.
Yao Chen was not affected by Mu Qingluan's surprise. He just showed a faint smile to Master Feng, but there was still a hint of emotion in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
Compared with Zun Feng's complicated expression, Yao Chen seemed relatively calm. After all, he had already been mentally prepared for this reunion. As for Feng Zunzhe, he saw Yao Chen without any preparation, and his reaction was naturally much more intense.
However, even though Yao Chen was mentally prepared, facing his close friend whom he had not seen for many years, he was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"Oh, that's enough. We are already at this age, so don't lose your composure in front of young people." Yao Chen sighed, shook his head, and said to Master Feng with a relaxed smile, "As for what you have If you want to ask, let’s talk privately and I will tell you everything that happened in the past few years.”
Hearing Yao Chen's words, Master Feng nodded subconsciously. The expression on his face gradually changed from shock to relief, and then he showed a faint smile. This smile was different from the polite smile when he first faced Xiao Ling. It was a true joy from the heart.
"Haha, old guy... you are right, I have lost my composure." There was a hint of self-deprecation in Feng Zunzhe's voice, but more of it was a sense of relief, "No matter what, it's good that you are still alive. As long as you are still alive..."
Immediately, Master Feng turned his head and said to Mu Qingluan: "Qingluan, don't be stunned, come and see the real master of Xingyun Pavilion. This is Master Yao Chen who was famous in the mainland back then. .”
Mu Qingluan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and bowed respectfully: "Qingluan has met the Pavilion Master."
Yao Chen looked at Mu Qingluan's respectful look, shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "You old guy, you really want to take revenge on me, you are deliberately making me embarrassed in front of the juniors... …”
