Chapter 138: Coming to the Sinkhole Again
Because Jiang Feng offended the Li family and the Qin family successively, the Jiang family, which had been on the decline in recent years, had an increasingly difficult life recently.
Under the strong oppression of the Qin family and the Li family, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Jiang family is in a state of anxiety and walking on thin ice, not to mention that the Qin family is ranked first among the seven major families in Yanjing, whether it is strength or heritage, it is not comparable to the Jiang family, even the Li family, who is at the bottom of the seat, has been planning and secretly arranging for many years, and the attack is extraordinary.
"Strip and Peel...... Stripping ......"
In Old Man Jiang's study, a knock on the door sounded softly, and the old man put down the teacup and said, "Come in." โ
Jiang Hanyu pushed open the door, walked in from outside, and said, "Dad, you look for me." โ
Old Man Jiang nodded, beckoned him to sit down, and said, "Han Yu, you must know everything that happened during this time. โ
When Old Man Jiang said this, he used a tone of affirmation rather than questioning, which made Jiang Hanyu's eyebrows frown slightly, but he still said, "I heard a little." โ
Old Man Jiang seemed to be dissatisfied with his reaction, and said with an inducement to say, "You don't have anything to say?" โ
Jiang Hanyu smiled and said, "Dad, you know that I never care about these things, where do you have any opinions, if you want to ask, it's better to ask the eldest brother or the third brother." โ
Old Man Jiang sighed and said, "Xiao Feng...... Xiao Feng is your son after all. โ
Jiang Hanyu's face changed slightly, but he still didn't say anything.
Old Man Jiang continued: "Originally, I thought that after Xiao Feng left Yanjing, I was mediating in it, and the situation might be eased a little, but these things that happened later further aggravated the contradictions between the three parties, and it was absolutely impossible to reconcile them." โ
When he said these words, Old Man Jiang had been paying careful attention to Jiang Hanyu's reaction, but seeing that Jiang Hanyu had always been indifferent, he couldn't help but be quite helpless, and said slowly: "Of course, the matter has happened, now is not the time to hold anyone responsible, but to find a way to solve it, this is the purpose of I called you over today." โ
Speaking of which, Jiang Hanyu had to say: "You are right, no matter what, Xiaofeng is my son, if there is anything that needs me to do, you can just say it." โ
Old man Jiang said: "The Li family has always been dissatisfied with the ranking of the seven major families in Yanjing, and has always been eyeing my Jiang family, and they don't want to replace them all the time, what Xiao Feng did this time undoubtedly gave them a sufficient excuse, and recently, the Jiang family's industry has been forced to compress, and you can see it." And on the Qin family's side, there is no need to talk about it, these things are not just Xiao Feng's affairs, our Jiang family must also react a little, otherwise, not to mention keeping Xiao Feng, my Jiang family's century-old foundation will also be in danger. โ
Jiang Hanyu listened silently and said, "I understand what you mean, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they also understand." โ
Although the words were not clear enough, Old Man Jiang naturally knew who they were referring to, he sighed again and said: "It doesn't matter if they understand or not, as long as you are willing to make a move, the situation will naturally be improved, and besides, if the Jiang family hands it over to you, I can rest assured." โ
"Dad, don't say that, you know I'm not interested. Jiang Hanyu interrupted the old man's words.
Old Man Jiang sighed and said, "Han Yu, I know that you are very bitter in your heart, but after so many years, what else can't you let go? Even if it's not for me and for the Jiang family, just for Xiaofeng, you have to cheer up." โ
"Cheer up, how easy is it to talk about?" Jiang Hanyu smiled bitterly, stood up instead, and said, "Dad, I still have some things, so I'll leave first." โ
Without waiting for Old Man Jiang to respond, he walked out of the door.
Old Man Jiang looked at Jiang Hanyu's departing back, a thoughtful light flashed in his eyes, and muttered to himself: "Hanyu, Hanyu, you pretend not to care about anything on the surface, but in fact, how can I not know, during this time, if you didn't shoot behind your back, where would I be able to sit in this position safely now." This incident is a crisis for my Jiang family, but for you, it is a great opportunity, and I hope you can completely come out of the past. โ
โฆโฆ
After Jiang Feng left Qiu's house, he looked for a remote place and stayed for a few days, and after his injuries recovered, he came to the sinkhole where he found Mu Longgen alone.
The location of the sinkhole is extremely remote, what happened some time ago did not cause much attention in the society, Jiang Feng went down to the pit alone, and soon found several corpses.
In such a cold weather, those corpses did not decompose, but there was also a faint foul smell coming out, Jiang Feng didn't pay much attention to it, and went directly to the bottom of the sinkhole.
The last time he came to the Tiankeng, Jiang Feng just felt that this place was quite strange, because the power of the killing formation was too great, if it was just to protect the wooden dragon root, in his opinion, it was too overkill.
After all, although the Wooden Dragon Root is extremely rare and rare, it does not necessarily need to spend so much jฤซng power to protect it.
There was no change at the bottom of the sinkhole, it seemed that no one had been here since the last time he came, Jiang Feng walked directly to the place where he found the wooden dragon root last time.
Where the root of the wooden dragon was, the blood in that pool of blood had long since dried up, leaving a small pool of square size, but other than that, there was nothing.
This made Jiang Feng a little stunned, could it be that his conjecture was wrong?
But Jiang Feng didn't give up and leave, and looked around the sinkhole, after the killing formation was activated, this place had become a dead and silent place, but the traces left by the formation were still vivid.
The last time he came, because he was in too haste, Jiang Feng didn't have time to pay attention to many places, and when he looked closely, he soon found that something was not quite right.
Because he found a familiar feeling in the sinkhole, this place became a small world of its own, and there was no light all year round, as if it was a small prison, which reminded Jiang Feng of what he had experienced under the water of Tianchi.
The difference is that one is a trapping formation and the other is a killing formation, but whether it is used to trap people or kill people, as long as it is not natural and human, it usually leaves traces, and from those seemingly insignificant traces, you can usually see the habits of the people who set up the formation.
What Jiang Feng discovered was that this killing formation was actually similar to the trapped person formation at the bottom of Tianchi.
Seeing this clearly, Jiang Feng was quietly shocked in his heart, could it be that these two formations were both from the same person's hands?
But if that's the case, what is that person arranging such two formations for?
Jiang Feng was a little puzzled, but this discovery alone had already shocked his heart.
Because judging from the methods of the person who arranged the array, the person who arranged the array was definitely an ancient sage, and his realm was almost unfathomable, and even he couldn't figure out one ten-thousandth of it.
But judging from his current experience, the aura of heaven and earth on the earth is too thin, and it is not an excellent place for cultivation, how did this ancient sage cultivate to such a realm?
Is it because he has found a certain shortcut to cultivation, or is it because the earth's resources are not like this, but the day after tomorrow has changed, making the path of cultivation as difficult as climbing to the sky?
The above two points, no matter which point they were, made Jiang Feng a little difficult to digest, and found traces of ancient sages, which was undoubtedly great news for him, but at this time, he had no way to use them.
Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, Jiang Feng's face changed slightly, he didn't expect someone to come in the sinkhole, and judging from the footsteps, there were quite a few people coming.
The figure flashed, Jiang Feng hid behind a boulder, and the footsteps came quickly, just over a minute, and he saw more than a dozen people at the bottom of the sinkhole.
Jiang Feng hid his figure and looked intently, that is, he saw that among those people, most of them were wearing black sรจ suits, and the slight difference was an old man walking in the front, who was wearing a white sรจ Tang suit.
The old man in Tang costume had white hair and hair, and he looked quite like a fairy wind and bones, but it was not the old man himself who attracted Jiang Feng, but the compass in his hand.
The old man in Tang costume held a compass in his hand and walked along the bottom of the sinkhole a few times, his mouth kept chanting, as if he was looking for something, and then his face quickly changed, and his steps accelerated at this moment.
Jiang Feng was slightly surprised when he saw it, this old man in Tang costume turned out to be a Xuan-level master, but he didn't know what they were doing here?
But Jiang Feng didn't make any movement, and the group of people who suddenly appeared greatly attracted his interest, and he wanted to see what they were doing.
Ten minutes later, there was a sigh from the old man in Tang costume, and a middle-aged man in a black suit stepped forward and talked to the old man in Tang costume in a low voice, as if he was asking something.
The old man in Tang costume had an extremely solemn face, and when he said a word, Jiang Feng faintly heard him talking about ruins and the like, but unfortunately, the old man in Tang costume seemed to be quite taboo, and he didn't continue to talk halfway through.
Then, someone took out some lights from their backpack and aimed them at the bottom of the sinkhole, shining the bottom of the sinkhole as bright as day, and then someone took a camera out and filmed it in all directions.
After the filming was completed, these people packed up their things, did not stay long, and immediately left the sinkhole, and Jiang Feng's figure moved and immediately followed.
After following the sinkhole for a while, Jiang Feng heard the sound of the car's engine, and the group quickly got into the car.
Jiang Feng's footsteps quickened at this moment, got into the last car, knocked the two people in the car unconscious, drove the car himself, and left with the convoy.
