Chapter 646: The Hidden Xiao Family (Chapter 2)

Tianchi itself is very large, and Tianchi is now a tourist area, there are countless buildings nearby, and most of them are imitated in accordance with the style of ancient buildings, which is quite confusing, Xu Yinglong has been deceived by those buildings several times, and Xu Yinglong has been stunned for a whole day Xu Yinglong did not find the Xiao family mansion that Xiao Ruofeng said.

The three relatively flat and suitable directions for human habitation in the southeast, southeast and west have been searched, although they have found a few small families in the hidden world, but Xu Yinglong did not find Xiao Ruofeng and Xiao Budian's breath in it, and the location is not right, obviously not from the Xiao family, in desperation, Xu Yinglong had to turn his eyes to the north, which is the most unlikely to be inhabited.

The reason why Xu Yinglong considered the north to be the least likely to be inhabited is because to the north of Tianchi is the famous Bogda Peak, which is 5,445 meters above sea level and is the famous peak in the eastern section of the Tianshan Mountains. Above 3,800 meters of the mountain peak, it is a snow area that does not melt all year round, and it is covered with snow, so it is called the "snow sea". The steep cliffs and inaccessible vegetation make it a pitiful minority of beasts, not to mention people. Because of this, Xu Yinglong felt that the north was the most unlikely direction where the Xiao family was located.

But now that they have searched in several other directions, they have not found the Xiao family, so Xu Yinglong will turn his eyes here. After all, the Xiao family is not an ordinary family, and ordinary people can't survive in the sea of snow, but it doesn't mean that the people of the Xiao family can't. Moreover, the Xiuzhen family likes to settle down in inaccessible places, firstly, to avoid being disturbed by others, and secondly, the more crowded the place, the more sufficient aura. It is suitable for cultivation, and it is unknown whether the people of the Xiao family will live in Bogda Peak.

A heavy snowfall has just fallen in the Tien Shan Mountains. Although the snow at the foot of the mountain has almost melted, there is no melting at all on the mountain. Looking at the entire Bogda Peak from afar, she is considered a holy girl in a white dress and a white dress.

The road up the mountain is blocked, and there may be no road at all. However, these did not have much impact on Xu Yinglong, and with his cultivation, even a knife in the sky could not stop him from going up the mountain. Xu Yinglong's figure jumped between the mountains, and the steep cliffs covered with thick snow were like flat ground at his feet, and after a while, Xu Yinglong climbed halfway up the mountain.

I don't know how long I walked, but after crossing two small mountains, Xu Yinglong finally came to the halfway point of Bogda Peak, and suddenly a small village hidden in the col appeared in Xu Yinglong's consciousness.

According to the distance, it is estimated that the small village is 7 or 8 miles north of Xu Yinglong, because the village has been covered with snow. So he couldn't see the style of the building, and he couldn't see the people in the village, if it weren't for the billowing smoke, Xu Yinglong would probably ignore the ground.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yinglong was overjoyed, it is definitely not easy for people to survive in this kind of place, ordinary people don't say whether they can survive or not, just saying that it is a big problem to cross so many mountains to reach here. Only those monks who come and go high can make their home on the top of the mountain, pursuing that hidden detachment.

Xu Yinglong did not alarm anyone and quietly approached the village. Xu Yinglong didn't want to disturb the people in the village. He just wanted to confirm whether this was the Xiao family. If yes, show up, if not, quietly leave.

Since the location of the village was still within the scope of Xu Yinglong's divine sense, Xu Yinglong easily scanned the inside and outside of the small mountain village, so that there were not many people in the village. And the vast majority of them are young adults in their thirties and forties, and very few people in their fifties and sixties. Xu Yinglong didn't find Xiao Bu'er inside, nor did he find Xiao Ruofeng. However, Xu Yinglong saw Xiao Ruofeng's wife in a wooden house in the northernmost part of the village.

Since Xiao Ruofeng's wife is here, then this must be the Xiao family. It's just that what makes Xu Yinglong frown is that although there are also a few monks here who are secretly cultivating. But there is no master above the innate realm. Although Xu Yinglong, Ye Ting, Xiao Ruofeng, and other sects had said that the Xiao family had declined, after all, it was one of the four guardian families, and no matter how it declined, it would not even be a master of the Innate Realm.

Xu Yinglong quietly came to the outside of the village and expanded his divine sense to the outside of the village again, but he still didn't find a master, nor did he find Xiao Budian and Xiao Ruofeng. As a last resort, Xu Yinglong had no choice but to go to see Xiao Ruofeng's wife and ask her about Xiao Ruofeng's whereabouts.

With Xu Yinglong's cultivation, entering such a small village should not be discovered, Xu Yinglong did not knock on the door, and after entering the courtyard, he directly pushed the door and walked in.

The sudden movement startled Xiao Ruofeng's wife, and she was about to shout loudly, Xu Yinglong hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't call yet, I'm Xu Yinglong!" ”

Xiao Ruofeng's wife stopped in time, and hurriedly said when she saw that it was really Xu Yinglong: "Brother Xu, why are you looking here, the second elder, they didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

Xu Yinglong replied: "It was Brother Xiao who called me to come, but when I came to Tianshan, I lost contact with Brother Xiao, and I found here by myself!" Because I couldn't find Brother Xiao, I didn't dare to rush to post to meet me, but quietly entered the village. By the way, sister-in-law, who is the second elder you are talking about, and why does he embarrass me? ”

"You crept in on your own? That's bad, if the Second Elder sees them, they'll definitely kill you! No, get out of here! ”

Seeing Xiao Ruofeng's wife so flustered, Xu Yinglong suddenly frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, what happened, why did you want to drive me away?" ”

Xiao's wife hurriedly explained: "The brothers of the Xu family are not sisters-in-law who want to you to leave, but"

"And what, is there anything unspeakable about my sister-in-law?" Xu Yinglong asked again.

Mrs. Xiao sighed and said, "Although the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, I can manage so much when things come to this point." In fact, this matter is also very simple, that is, the people of the second elder's line do not want Ruofeng to take over the power of the family, and are trying to suppress Ruofeng. ”

"Take over the power of the Xiao family? Why is this, hasn't the power of the Xiao family always been in the hands of Old Man Xiao? Xu Yinglong asked puzzled.

Xiao's wife was silent for a few seconds and said, "Hey, the old man is gone!" ”

"Gone? Where did it go? Xu Yinglong was even more puzzled.

"It's dead!" Mrs. Xiao explained.

"Dead? When did it happen, why haven't I heard about it? Xu Yinglong hurriedly asked.

If his mother is really the eldest lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Ruoying, then the old man of the Xiao family is his cheap grandfather. Although he has no feelings for this grandfather who has never met before, and he doesn't even have too deep feelings for that mother, but after all, they are relatives in the blood, and Xu Yinglong was still taken aback when he heard the news.

"It's been more than a month, and because the second elder and his gang blocked the news, the martial arts colleagues didn't know the news that the old man had passed away, so it's normal that Brother Xu didn't know!" Mrs. Xiao replied.

"What kind of bullshit is that second elder, why does he want to block the news, why doesn't he want Brother Xiao to take power?" Xu Yinglong asked again.

"The second elder is the second brother of my father-in-law, and he is also Ruofeng's second uncle, when the old man was alive, he has always been the eldest elder of the Xiao family, because the old man is the eldest and he is the second, so people call him the second elder. When the old man died, he clearly designated Ruofeng as the next head of the Xiao family, and no one in the clan objected at that time, but after the old man suddenly fell ill and died last month, many people in the family had great opinions on Ruofeng taking over the head of the family, and later even the second elder did not agree with Ruofeng to take over the head of the family! ”

"What is the specific reason, is it that Brother Xiao's cultivation is not enough or that his prestige is not good, there is a general reason, isn't it?"

Xiao's wife said: "No, although Ruofeng's cultivation is not very high, it has also broken through to the innate stage. In addition, Ruofeng has always been kind to people, so he has won the trust and support of ordinary people in the family, so there is no problem of lack of prestige, and the second elder They oppose Ruofeng taking over the position of the head of the family, which is said to be because of his aunt! ”

"Who is his aunt, is Brother Xiao's aunt, why does she involve Brother Xiao?" Xu Yinglong asked again.

Xiao's wife immediately said: "His aunt is not Ruofeng's aunt, but Xiaobu'er and Yu'er's aunt, Ruofeng's own sister, that is, Xiao Ruoying, the eldest lady of the Xiao family who suddenly disappeared more than 20 years ago!" (To be continued......)
