Chapter 9: The Mysterious Old Man

When Feng Xiao rushed into the road on the right, he found that this road was much narrower than the road on the left.

And the further you go, the narrower the passage becomes. Soon, the passage shrunk to a size that could only fit one or two people through.

Feng Xiao also relaxed a little, such a narrow passage, it is impossible to arrange traps. Moreover, Feng Xiao carefully observed the surrounding walls. It is a strange shape that is completely naturally formed, and there is not a trace of artificial excavation. In this way, you don't have to worry about your life anymore.

However, as Fengxiao slowly deepened, Fengxiao gradually felt hot. It's not the kind of body that heats up when you move physically, but the surrounding environment itself is heating up. And, the further down you go, the higher the temperature. Gradually, Fengxiao even felt that one heat wave after another kept rushing towards him. The heat wave even made the wind laugh and a little breathless.

Could it be some kind of fire-based spirit flower and spirit grass, or underground magma, or fire-type spirit beast, what is hidden underneath?

Feeling the scorching heat of the air around him, Feng Xiao thought to himself: "No wonder in Ye Bufan's treasure room, there will be a high-grade fire-based exercise like the Mahayana Flame Sutra, and it is very likely that the fire-based spirit flower and spirit grass are hidden below. Wait for the Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass to ripen, pick them, and then ask a special alchemist to help refine them. It is very likely that you can refine a spirit pill that can change your physique, and when the time comes, you can change it into a flame physique and cultivate the Mahayana Flame Sutra. However, now this one is cheap, and it is your own!"

Thinking about it, Feng Xiao sped up again.

As he got deeper, Fengxiao even smelled a special fragrance, which made Fengxiao more determined in his thoughts. There must be some fire-type spirit flower and spirit grass growing below!

Suddenly, a bits and pieces of special sounds reached Feng Xiao's ears. It's like the sound of chains thrashing against a hard wall from time to time.

Fengxiao immediately stopped, pricked up his ears, and listened quietly.

I only heard the sound of chains beating against the walls faster and louder. Soon, Fengxiao even heard a footstep.

Something is approaching. There's something coming from below, and it's coming towards the wind smile!

The moment Fengxiao heard the footsteps, he immediately turned around and ran towards the road he came from. I have always heard that near the innate growth of spirit flowers and spirit grass, there will be strong spirit beasts guarding them. This time, I was too careless to think about this in advance, so I just walked forward.

After all, Feng Xiao was only the sixth level of Qi refining, and among all the cultivators, he belonged to the lowest level realm. How could it be the opponent of the spirit beast guarding the spirit flower and spirit grass? So, now, we must flee immediately!

Although Fengxiao had used the fastest speed, the footsteps that were getting clearer and clearer were still getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, it was as if Fengxiao had crashed into a wall of air, and the huge resistance made him have to stop. With that comes a huge gravitational force. Feng Xiao's arms and thighs felt a thousand pounds heavy, and he couldn't lift them.

At this moment, the footsteps stopped. Feng Xiao knew clearly that the thing had already chased after him, right behind him.

Feng Xiao turned his head with difficulty, and the person standing behind him was not a spirit beast, but a person.

To be precise, an almost naked old man. Red and devastated. Behind his back, he dragged a huge chain of adamantite gold, which, upon closer inspection, had passed through his lute bone, leaving a terrifying and ugly scar on the wound. Who is this old man, and who is so ruthless to pierce his lute bone with chains.

From the old man's eyes and mouth, some flames would emerge from time to time. It's as if there was a flame hidden in the old man's body.

At this time, when he saw Feng Xiao looking back at him, the old man's eyes were erratic and confused. Then, a hoarse voice came out: "Are you a child of the Ye family, if you are not a child of the Ye family, die! Are you a child of the Ye family, if you are not a child of the Ye family, if you are not a child of the Ye family, if you are not a child of the Ye family, die..."

After that, the old man kept repeating this sentence, speaking faster and faster, and becoming more and more impatient.

Feng Xiao looked at the old man in front of him, and muttered in his heart: "This old man is so powerful, he can subdue himself in the air without hurting himself." The realm is higher than that of the Three Holy Sons, and at least he is also a powerhouse in the reincarnation realm. But looking at his expression, his eyes were dull, as if he had lost his mind. Coupled with the sentence he kept asking, it was very likely that he was an elder of the Ye family, and he was delirious and guarding here. As long as it is not a child of the Ye family, kill it. Then, as long as you lie to him and say that you are a child of the Ye family, no. ”

It has been sixteen years since Feng Xiao came to this world, and his life has deceived countless people. Up to the officials and nobles, down to the vendors and pawns, as long as the wind laughs, he will deceive him. Sometimes, Feng Xiao will even coax children playing on the street for a piece of candy. But this time, the simple sentence "I am a child of the Ye family", Feng Xiao just couldn't say it.

Be a principled person, Ye Bufan is so shameless, ungrateful, and harms the Feng family. How could Feng Xiao think that he was a child of the Ye family.

Since he didn't want to deceive, he could only find a way to get out of the old man's control and escape.

Thinking about it, Feng Xiao closed his eyes, his mind was united, and he entered the space of the wheel of fate.

Feng Xiao turned the pointer vigorously, looked at the five sections of "Force, Speed, Royalty, Void, and Luck" on the roulette, and prayed in his heart that he must point to the item "speed". As long as his speed can be increased tenfold, he should be able to escape from the old man's grasp and escape.

Slowly, the pointer stopped. Feng Xiao watched, the pointer slowly passed from "speed", and lamented: "Luck is not good enough." ”

In the end, the pointer stopped at the "virtual" item!

Seeing the word "virtual", Feng Xiao frowned and recalled carefully. At the beginning, the old beggar said that "void" can escape the power of the laws of this world in a short time, and any harm can be avoided. Isn't that invincible, haha, it's cool this time!

Suddenly, the word "void" on the wheel of fortune dimmed and turned gray, completely different from the other four items that were still shining. What does it mean, it won't be that this item can only be used once, and I still have eight chances left, and it is impossible to choose "virtual" again. Also, out of the laws of this world, invincible. Wouldn't it be too rebellious if you could point to it a few more times?

The moment Feng Xiao retreated from the spiritual space of the wheel of fate, Feng Xiao felt that all the power that had bound him had disappeared. Even the burning sensation around me disappeared. It's as if your body has transcended this world and is no longer at the mercy of the law.

Feng Xiao felt all this now, and suddenly, clenched his fists and punched himself in the stomach. At that moment, his body seemed to be out of his control, and he twisted to the side and dodged it. I can even dodge myself by myself, it's really invincible!

"Are you a child of the Ye family, if you are not a child of the Ye family, die" The old man was still muttering this.

At this time, Feng Xiao walked up to the old man and gave him a slap with a "snap". Then put on a very arrogant and unobtrusive expression: "Don't talk about it anymore, hear clearly, I'm your grandfather!"

The old man was suddenly blinded by this slap and stopped talking. His eyes were full of doubt.

Feng Xiao thought that the old man would be extremely angry and kill himself. Unexpectedly, the old man pounced, knelt on the ground, and hugged Feng Xiao's thighs with both hands: "Grandpa, grandpa." Help me, I'm so hot, I'm in so much pain. ”

looked at the old man who suddenly knelt down, and laughed in fright. This situation is really unexpected, and it blinds the wind and laughter.

In fact, what Feng Xiao didn't know was that the old man in front of him was Ye Bufan's biological father. For some special reason, he was controlled by some kind of terrifying existence underground, and he completely became a fool. He only knew that the children of the Ye family could not be killed, and the rest was only some subconscious.

And now, when Fengxiao said that he was his grandfather, he actually believed it. His subconscious told himself that only his grandfather could help him and break free from the grip of that terrifying being.

"Whatever I ask you, you answer" Feng Xiao looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes rolled around, and asked: "What is hidden down there, and why are you staying here?"

"Below, below" The old man hesitated a little, and a lot of panic suddenly appeared in his eyes, as if he was very frightened: "Below is the master, the master ordered me to receive tribute here, the children of the Ye family can't be killed, they will send tribute every three days." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Feng Xiao couldn't help but wonder, "Master, who is your master?"

The old man frowned at first, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he held his head in his hands, crouched on the ground, and wailed in pain.

Fortunately, Fengxiao is now invincible, otherwise the power that erupts when the old man wails may hurt him.

However, it seems impossible to ask what is underneath.

After waiting for a while, the old man slowly quieted down. At that time, Feng Xiaocai then asked: "Every three days, is it Ye Bufan who comes to send tribute?"

"Fan'er, Fan'er" The old man muttered a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's Fan'er, every time he comes, he will bring a young girl." Every time the owner eats the maiden, he will be happy, and I will be able to reduce the pain a little. Grandpa, why didn't you bring the girl?"

Hearing the old man's words, Feng Xiao couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Every three days, Ye Bufan brings a young girl as a tribute to the terrifying existence underground. No wonder, there are always rumors that Ye Bufan is a very good woman, and she must be accompanied by a woman every day. And there are always some women who follow Ye Bufan into the room at night and disappear. Fengxiao thought that they had all taken the money and left, but they didn't expect to be eaten as tribute.

It is really against the way of heaven, hurts heaven and reason, and will be punished by heaven! And the old man in front of him should be Ye Bufan's father, in order to suffer a little less pain for himself, he can't wait for the arrival of those poor girls. In his bones he will be a great treacherous and wicked man.

Thinking of this, Feng Xiao couldn't help but make up his mind. One day, he will kill them to pay tribute to the souls of these innocent girls.

Now, though, is not the time.
