Chapter 175: The Inner Ghost
Sensing that the 'spirit' divine power disappeared in an instant, Yang Chengqiu did not chase it, but just smiled faintly, continued to follow the team, and walked slowly.
However, what made Yang Chengqiu feel suspicious was that since the figure disappeared, no matter how far he expanded his 'essence' divine power, he had never been able to find any clues. And the 'spirit' divine power did not reappear.
Did he find out?
But where did that person hide? he was able to evade the detection of the 'essence' divine power of the sword venerable. Yang Chengqiu repeated it several times, but still did not find it. But just as the group was about to walk out of the alley, they found that there was an extra person in front of the alley.
"Yan'er?" Yang Chengqiu looked at it, only to find that the person standing at the mouth of the alley was actually Yang Yan.
"Father, you're back. Yang Yan smiled and hurried up.
"Was that you just now?" asked Yang Chengqiu suspiciously.
"Hehe, yes, I didn't expect my father to be so cautious, and my grandfather actually won. Yang Yan smiled,
"What won?" Yang Chengqiu became, confused, and puzzled.
"Originally, I thought that you would not always exude the power of the 'spirit' god, but my grandfather said that you would. So we're going to bet. Although I lost, I didn't feel sad, because I saw two from my father - professional!" Yang Yan said as he walked.
"Really, hehe" Looking at Yang Yan who was alive, Yang Chengqiu said with a smile. "But this time there was nothing to be gained, and no suspicious person was found. After a pause, he asked suddenly. "By the way, Yan'er, why can't my 'essence' divine power capture your figure? Could it be that your 'essence' divine power is stronger than mine?"
"Congratulations father, you guessed it. Yang Yan smiled, grimaced, and said. "When I first went to the academy, when I tested it at that time, my 'essence' divine power was already at the level of the Sword King. ”
"Really?" Yang Chengqiu said as he looked at Yang Yan in surprise. When he was a swordsman, he was a sword king-level 'essence' divine power, and Yang Yan is now a sword king, how strong will that 'essence' divine power be! It's no wonder that he can't find Yang Yan, thinking about it, Yang Chengqiu also feels a little better. If it were someone else, it is estimated that he would have the heart to die!
"Father-in-law, we didn't gain anything this time, we didn't notice anyone approaching us at all, and we didn't even have the 'essence' divine power. In the room, Yang Chengqiu said to Fang Haoting.
"It's strange, it would make sense if they kept going on, but why didn't they show up this time?" Fang Haoting pondered. You know, there is a sword venerable who does things for himself, no matter who he is, he thinks it is an honor.
"Well, I think it's strange too, but I heard from the soldier that there is a mission in three days, and I'll follow it later. Yang Chengqiu said.
However, Yang Chengqiu followed three times in a row, almost 'spending' fifteen days, but it was the same as the first time, the original strange situation seemed to have disappeared, and he didn't find any suspicious circumstances at all. Could it be that the 'spirit' divine power of the people hidden in the dark is also as perverted as Yang Yan?
"Maybe they'll stop. Fang Haoting shook his head helplessly. Yang Chengqiu on the other side looked a little sullen, could it be that the other party was playing 'hide' with him?
"Father-in-law, I don't think so. Yang Chengqiu pondered for a long time before he raised his head and said. Since we came, it hasn't happened again. Perhaps this is a bit of a coincidence. ”
"Then you mean?" Fang Haoting was shocked and hurriedly said.
"Well, I guess so. These times, the time of our departure is the same as before, and we keep it secret from the people in the clan before we leave. Others are even less likely to know when we will return. Why was the first few times so unlucky, but this time I was so lucky? Yang Chengqiu analyzed.
"In my opinion, the Fang family, there are internal ghosts!" Yang Yan on the side frowned and said.
"Nonsense!" Fang Haoting heard this, and immediately roared. Fang Yunan and Fang Yuetian in the room were both frightened, and hurriedly handed Yang Yan a 'look', signaling him to quickly admit his mistake. You must know that once Fang Haoting is really angry, it will be out of control.
"How can the Fang family have internal ghosts!Our Fang family is an upright person and acts in a bright and bright way!We have never done anything to be sorry for the Fang family!" Fang Haoting glared at Yang Yan angrily, and then said. As the anger on his face slowly dissipated, the atmosphere in the room improved slightly.
"Father, maybe they are too idle, and they probably went back after making a fuss. Don't be angry, Yan'er is also for everyone's good. Fang Yuetian hurriedly said.
"Forget it, it's okay. In a few days, it will be the 'coming-of-age' ceremony. Let's go out less these days, and get ready to go. Fang Haoting sighed lightly, looked at Yang Yan with an innocent face with a complicated expression, and sighed.
During the 'coming' ceremony, there were many strange faces in the Fang family, including some children about the same size as Yang Yan. But everyone had a solemn look on their faces. The annual 'coming-of-age' ceremony will always make some people who have reached the age of 16 lose face, because when they become adults, anyone in the family who is younger than them can put forward a challenge, and adult people cannot refuse, otherwise they will lose! If they lose, they will naturally not get any benefits, and some are just punishments!
If this continues, it has also achieved the current status of the Fang family. Although there are constant disputes in the family, this is undoubtedly a forced injection for everyone since childhood!
Today's 'coming-of-age' ceremony is naturally presided over by the old master Fang Haoting, which makes many people's hearts bottomless, and Fang Haoting's sternness has always been notoriously scary. In the family, all the people gathered in the practice room, but today's practice room was more than twice as big as the one Yang Yan and the others went to last time. There were nearly 400 people in all the tribesmen.
There are only eight adults this year, six men and two 'women', although Yang Yan is fifteen years old, he cannot be counted as an adult. I could only sit on the chair outside the round platform and watch many people busy with boredom.
Sure enough, Fang Haoting announced a series of new regulations, after the coming-of-age ceremony, three years of training will be carried out, and those who fail to pass the training will be punished by the clan. In addition, if you are defeated in the ceremony, you will have an additional year of training, and you will not be able to have the help of people from the clan, etc. Anyway, none of this has anything to do with Yang Yan.
Although some people were still dissatisfied with this, when they looked at Fang Haoting's serious face, they had to swallow their anger, and could only mutter a few words secretly.
As the announcement ceremony began, the six men and two 'women' performed swordsmanship performances on the round platform in turn. In the end, the two heads of the clan and the five generals will judge.
Among the six men and two 'women', the highest level is only the fifth level of the sword master, and the lowest is also the first level of the sword master, although it is already very good for a sixteen-year-old person, but Yang Yan, who is already at the level of the sword king, feels very bored. But he couldn't find an excuse to leave, so he could only stay by Yang Chengqiu's side stupidly and watch 'carefully'.
After the presentation, it's the underage's turn to take on the challenge. Those who succeed in the challenge will avoid being challenged by others as adults. If it fails, it is doubled. Of course, if an adult fails, he will go through the training immediately after the ceremony, at least four years, and he must be at the Sword Saint level when he returns, otherwise, he will either go to the frontier or continue to practice.
When it came to the challenge, many people on the field, including the five generals, focused their eyes on Yang Yan. They weren't expecting it, but they were worried about Yang Yan's challenge. Even Fang Zhehan was defeated by Yang Yan with one move, not to mention the adult person in front of him.
Yang Yan was also surprised, and after looking around, he lowered his head and pretended not to know. Fang Haoting looked at it and smiled helplessly. I thought to myself. "This kid is very good. ”
However, if Yang Yan doesn't challenge, it doesn't mean that others don't challenge. And the person who challenged must start from the person with the lowest rank, a man and a 'woman' at the level of the sword master, after half a pillar of incense, they were defeated in turn. But that's the way the rules are, and they have to swallow their tears in their stomachs. Waiting for the beginning of the experience life.
Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly ran in and walked towards Fang Haoting. Putting his mouth close to the latter's ear, and after saying a few words softly, Fang Haoting's face became 'gloomy' almost instantly. His lips moved slightly, and with a slight wave of his hand, he sent the soldier out.
When the soldiers came in, many people saw it, especially Yang Chengqiu and Yang Yan, and a kind of uneasiness arose, and they all stared at Fang Haoting. After a while, Fang Haoting looked at Yang Chengqiu and his son, and then got up and walked out. Fang Yunan and Fang Yuetian naturally followed closely behind, and they left the practice room in a blink of an eye.
Yang Chengqiu and Yang Yan naturally followed, and the practice room behind them slowly became noisy......
"What? two more missing?" In a small room, Yang Chengqiu stared at Fang Haoting with a blushing face, and said in a deep voice.
That's right, when the soldier came in at the beginning, what he told Fang Haoting was that of the twenty soldiers who came back today on a mission, two were missing again, and they were missing a mile outside the city gate. According to those who returned, a powerful 'spirit' divine power swept over them at the very moment before they disappeared.
"What kind of mission is it this time, didn't I say that I will go out less these days?" Looking at Fang Yunan, Fang Haoting said sternly.
"Father, this time I went to send information to the east, so this matter can't be delayed, so I have to go. Fang Yunan hurriedly said. "And this trip, except for me and Yuetian, only the five generals know. How did they know about our specific itinerary? And judging by their actions, they should know that Chengqiu didn't go. ”
"Could it be that there are really internal ghosts in the clan?" Fang Haoting muttered with a flash of 'essence' in his eyes.
