Chapter 297: Huan Long Clan (asking for monthly ticket)
The silver-haired girl was wearing a silver fairy dress. The wind and snow did not touch her. There was some anger on her pretty face.
The old man said he would take her to eat something delicious.
It didn't say that we came to the ninth mountain.
That was the territory of the General of the Central Army. I had seen this human General of the Central Army from afar twice. Both times, he was killing people, and the number of people killed was increasing. He was so fierce.
The crazy old man's free food and drinks made the girl hesitate.
Heavy treasure?
Liar.
The old man had nothing decent on him.
Although they had come this way all the way from a distant land, the girl was still a little scared in her heart.
In the snow, the old man with rosacea had a red nose and burped, exhaling hot air. He turned his head drunkenly and said, "Little girl, it's rare that you are afraid of someone."
As he spoke, his body swayed and he shook the gourd covered with pulp in his hand, and the wind and snow around were sucked into the gourd's mouth.
After about seven or eight breaths, the old man put the wooden cork into the gourd, then picked it up and shook it next to his ear, hearing the sound of rushing water. Then he shook his head and muttered,
"It's snowing nicely. It's a good omen for a good harvest. When the snow melts, I wonder what treasures will grow in the fields."
"Humph! You keep talking nonsense every day. I'm leaving now."
The silver-haired girl crossed her arms across her chest, angrily, stomped her feet, and turned to leave.
But the next second, a sigh came into the girl's ear.
"Hey, I heard that the palace of Jiu Zhonglang has countless delicacies and fine wines, as well as countless natural treasures. I think I can only be a guest alone this time."
The girl's body slowly stopped, her lively eyes a little suspicious, she turned around and snorted, "I don't believe it, crazy old man, you may have deceived other people before, but this person is very powerful, didn't you say not to let him target you, why are you rushing forward?"
"Who said I was lying this time?" The old man with rosacea smiled, "I really have a treasure to present to this general."
As he said this, he turned his head away proudly.
"believe it or not."
The girl stared at the crazy old man with a suspicious look for a while, then came back obediently, walked to the old man, opened her smart eyes,
"Really?"
He knew it because the old man with rosacea had smiling eyes.
Just as he was about to speak, the old man, whose drunken face was suffused with alcohol, straightened his expression slightly, looked up at the distant mountaintops that were hazy in the wind and snow,
There was a flash of golden light, as if an eye was looking over there.
He raised his eyes and said to the girl next to him, "Just prepare to have a big meal. Wait, someone will invite us up soon."
Sure enough, he was right, and about half a cup of tea passed.
The gate of the barracks opened with a click.
Two rows of soldiers and horses rushed out, and Yun Tiansheng rode out to greet them. Sitting on a horse covered in heavy armor, he clasped his fists towards the old man with red nose.
"General, please go up!"
As he spoke, Yun Tiansheng couldn't help but glance at the young girl next to the old man.
The girl has silver hair and a unique temperament that is very eye-catching.
The kind that can't be ignored.
Not only he couldn't help but notice it, but most of the other soldiers who came out to greet her also fixed their eyes on the girl, their eyes revealing curiosity and a certain amazement.
The old man with red nose chuckled, hung the brown wine gourd around his waist, and used both hands to rub his hair that was curled up like ox horns.
"Please lead the way!"
As he spoke, he strode forward.
The girl looked at the distant mountains in the wind and snow, and saw the crazy old man without looking back, so she hurriedly followed him.
At this time, in the backyard of the Zhonglang Palace on the Ninth Mountain, under the Fengxue Pavilion, Chen Yuan's eyes slowly closed and his brows slightly raised.
His Dharma eyes could not see through the two people at the foot of the mountain, as if they were shrouded in mist and veil. In this case, either their cultivation was far higher than his, or they were hiding behind some magical power or secret technique.
However, the magical secret skills that can conceal the prying eyes of the law are definitely not simple.
The old man with rosacea was fine, but his magical eyes couldn't penetrate the silver-haired girl either.
Where did this old man and young man come from?
Give yourself a treasure?
It looks weird no matter how you look at it.
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, he pondered for a moment, then whispered to Gao Yu who came to report,
"Let's put the Internal Affairs Department's matter aside for now. After all, he is an old man from the Ninth Mountain. Let's dismiss him first and I will reassign him."
Then we get to the point.
"You lead the troops."
At this point, I felt that I was being too cautious, so I smiled.
"never mind."
"Send someone over and prepare a table of wine and food. This is the token of my treasury. Bring out some good things to entertain you!"
"We have guests!"
As he said this, he threw out a token.
"Yes!"
Gao Yu responded, took the token, and left quickly.
Not long after, when Gao Yu took the token, opened the treasury located in the side hall of Zhonglang Palace and walked in, he was slightly shocked.
Inside, the aura was dense and the aura of treasures was amazing. Gold, silver and treasures were piled up into small hills and randomly placed in the corners. In each box, there were natural treasures, spiritual herbs and elixirs piled up in piles. What shocked him was that there were densely packed, sealed demon corpses inside. It was like walking into a demon exhibition hall, and the powerful and terrifying demonic aura filled the air. What terrified him was that there were two demon heads inside that were several times larger than the house. Even though they were dead, they were filled with an astonishing and terrifying aura.
It belongs to the great demon Musashi!
This is like entering a treasure trove!
It is hard to imagine how amazing the value is.
Gao Yu could feel his heart beating wildly and he felt extremely tempted. He couldn't help but have a thought in his mind that if he kept some of it secretly, the adults wouldn't find out anything.
However, he quickly killed this thought. The adults gave him the token because they trusted him, so how could he destroy himself?
Afterwards, his eyes became calm, and he began to pick treasures from the treasury. Since the adults treated him like this, it must be that the guest coming up the mountain was no ordinary one.
If Gao Yu knew that the inventory in this treasury was only a small part of Chen Yuan's family assets, he would definitely be shocked.
After all, countless demons died at the hands of Chen Yuan, and he also confiscated properties everywhere.
This is all the original capital accumulated through blood!
"Hey, the old man has met Chen Zhonglang!"
"The general is still as elegant as ever. It is a blessing for Shu."
After a cup of tea, in the backyard of the main hall, outside the pavilion in the wind and snow, the old man with the sore nose held the handrail of Chen Yuan who was sitting in the pavilion, and smiled, as if he was not at all shy.
This kind of people either rely on their own strong strength or are thick-skinned.
After the old man greeted him, he gestured to the side with his little eyes and coughed.
The silver-haired girl next to her rolled her eyes. The familiar opening line of the old man meant that he was going to deceive people.
She knew it all too well.
However, she looked up at Chen Yuan in plain clothes in the pavilion and felt that the general at this moment was different from the one she had seen before. He was less murderous and majestic, and less nervous. She bowed:
"Cunxin greets the general." It turned out that the girl's name was Cunxin, and her voice was as peaceful as the sound of a flowing spring.
This is the human etiquette that the crazy old man taught her.
Inside the pavilion, Chen Yuan's eyes flickered as he looked at the strange duo who looked like grandparents and grandchildren in age. After practicing to this level, it was the first time that someone gave him the feeling that he couldn't see through, and there were two of them at once.
He finally set his eyes on the old man with rosacea and raised his eyebrows, "Still as charming as ever? Have you met Chen before?"
The old man with rosacea did not hide it. "Of course I have seen it. Once at the Liu family on the island, and once."
As he spoke, his big red nose sniffed and made a sound. His eyes slowly moved to the wine pot warmed by the stove on the table next to Chen Yuan. He stretched his neck and said the second half of the sentence absentmindedly.
"In Wubao Mountain."
Chen Yuan frowned when he heard this, and seeing the man's expression, his eyes fell on the wine pot beside him, and he smiled knowingly.
"The old man seems to be a wine lover. Please come up and sit down, and this girl too."
As he spoke, he took out two small jade cups and lifted the wine pot on the stove. The slender spout gushed out the refreshing aroma of wine, and beautiful wine bubbles bloomed in the cups, accompanied by warm mist.
"Then I won't be polite." The man with red nose had a happy face. He went straight up and sat down. He sniffed and stared at the wine glass that Chen Yuan was pouring wine into. He twisted his butt on the stool and seemed a little impatient.
"Please!" Chen Yuan pushed the cup over, and a faint golden light in his hand inadvertently passed into the wine from the foot of the cup.
But the other party picked it up without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Yuan stared at the other party's reaction.
But the other party's face was red, and he closed his eyes. His eyelids were about to open but not open, and he shook his head, "Good wine, good wine, it's like a big sun rising in my belly, complementing the wind and snow in this world."
After saying that, the other party opened his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan with a smile, "General, your skill in warming wine is amazing."
Seeing that the other party had seen through his temptation but didn't say anything, Chen Yuan smiled without changing his expression. "It's been a long time since I've had a visitor here."
"Rusty."
Then he turned his head and ordered Yun Tiansheng next to him, "Have someone serve the food!"
Yun Tiansheng responded and walked out. After a while, maids with graceful steps and beautiful appearance came in from both sides, holding wooden trays in their hands, and brought up portions of exquisite dishes, cakes, and spiritual fruits.
Among these maids, there was Xiaohe, who was driven down the mountain not long ago.
At the table, the silver-haired girl, who was originally silent and reserved, quickly brightened up when she saw the fragrant delicacies and pastries.
"All of you go down!" Chen Yuan said.
"Yes, General." The maids bowed and stepped out of the pavilion in small steps.
"You are a guest, please enjoy your meal!"
Chen Yuan's attempt just now was seen through, so he didn't bother to do anything else and just waited and saw what would happen.
The silver-haired girl named Cunxin looked at the old man next to her. He reached out and grabbed a roasted suckling pig without any mannerism, tore its leg and gnawed the meat. Then he grabbed the wine jug with his other hand, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it.
Seeing this, the girl didn't care and just focused on eating.
There was an old man and a young man. The old one was quick to eat and his hands and paws were greasy. The young one lowered his head and was very polite, but his stomach was like a bottomless pit. Chen Yuan wanted to ask a few questions and hear about the two's origins, but seeing them like this, he did not say a word. He just looked at them quietly and drank a glass of wine from time to time.
Half an incense stick later, the old man with rosacea stopped "hands", swished his fingers in his mouth twice, then gargled his mouth with wine and swallowed it.
After having enough food and drink, he squinted his eyes and smiled, looking up at Chen Yuan.
"Thank you for your hospitality, General."
"Your Excellency has treated me with delicious food and fine wine, so I naturally have to return the favor. May I have a moment to talk?"
The young girl who was eating nearby paused when she heard this. She thought the old man was going to start his deception again, but she was reluctant to stop. These dishes were cooked with natural treasures and were full of essence. Her body needed a lot of energy and she hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time. So she thought about it and decided to ignore it for the time being.
Seeing that the topic was finally getting to the point, Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, then glanced at the girl who was still eating, waved his hand, whispered something to Yun Tiansheng who was standing next to him, and stood up.
"please!"
He walked out of the pavilion with a swaying footsteps. Without using any inner energy, he let the snowflakes fall on his clothes, brows, and face. The coolness seeped into his skin, and a "crunching" sound of snow could be heard under his feet.
Soon, the old man with rosacea caught up.
The two walked dozens of steps in the snow until the old man spoke.
"General Chen is quite calm. He is not in a hurry to ask me why I came here so hastily."
Chen Yuan had his hands behind his back, but at this moment he raised his hand and picked up a snowflake from the air. He glanced at her with a calm tone, "The old man has extraordinary cultivation, and he suddenly came to my Ninth Mountain and said he wanted to offer a treasure. I'm afraid he has something else in mind?"
"It's just that I've never dealt with old people, so it's better to just let nature take its course!"
The man with the rosacea smiled mysteriously, with two tufts of hair standing up like goat horns and not falling in the wind. "It is true that I am offering treasures, and it is also true that there is something else going on."
"It depends on whether the general dares to accept it."
Chen Yuan turned sideways, a faint golden light flashed in his eyes.
"Oh?"
"Chen is curious about what treasure the old man is talking about?"
The man with red nose turned sideways and glanced in the direction of the girl in the pavilion behind him, then signaled to Chen Yuan.
"It's her!"
This made Chen Yuan, who had thought of many possibilities, stunned.
Give a girl to yourself?
There are quite a few people in Jinguan City who have this idea and are eager to send their daughters to serve him.
But these two people are obviously unusual and it is not that simple.
Seeing Chen Yuan like this, the old man suddenly said meaningfully: "General, do you have a spiritual root of luck?"
As soon as these words came out, a cold light flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, and the surrounding wind and snow instantly froze.
But the old man said slowly, "General Chen, listen to me first. At that time, you fought with that human demon on Wubao Mountain and used the power of your luck and spiritual roots. I, an old man, happen to have some means to sense it."
“That’s why I came to visit you!”
After the old man finished speaking, the snow and wind around him began to fall again. Chen Yuan could not hear any anger in his tone, "So, does the old man mean to take the luck root in my hand?"
The old man with rosacea did not answer directly, but said meaningfully:
"General Chen, have you ever heard of Dragon's Nest?"
"I've heard of it. It's rumored to be the lair of a real dragon. It's also a kind of spiritual root of luck. It's very mysterious. It's rumored that if an ordinary monster gets a branch of it, it can transform into a dragon!"
"The rumors are exaggerated. A true dragon is a true spirit of heaven and earth. Who knows how many hardships it must go through before it can successfully transform and fly between heaven and earth. It is just a pipe dream that a dragon can transform with just a branch of a dragon nest. It is just that it is touched by dragon energy, which can indeed give ordinary animals a chance to become dragons. But it is also precious enough."
“And the Dragon’s Nest does not refer to some unique spiritual root of luck in the world, but because there is a real dragon living in it, it has undergone years and transformed into a Dragon’s Nest!”
When the rosacea old man said these words, his expression revealed a kind of disdain and pride that was completely different from his previous expressions.
This surprised Chen Yuan greatly, and his pupils flickered rapidly.
"The old man is so familiar with Dragon's Nest, may I ask who he is?"
And the rosacea finally smiled,
"Huanlong clan, Dong Fu!"
