Chapter 354: Middle-aged scribe

Near noon the next day, Yun Fan walked out of the inn and went straight to the depths of the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to Zhong Yan's confession the day before yesterday, he went to a place called Yicui Pavilion to find a man named Xue Jing.

Half an hour later, he came to a rather quiet lake, surrounded by clear water, with rows of exquisite attics carved and jade, one of the attic plaques, impressively written Yicui Pavilion three big characters.

"It seems that this place is the location of the man surnamed Xue in the mouth of Brother Zhong Yan", Yun Fan stared at the exquisite and elegant attic, and after a few breaths, he stepped to the door of Yicui Pavilion.

"This friend, do you have an appointment to Yicui Pavilion?", a man guarding at the door asked with a straight face.

"Do you have an appointment?", Yun Fan's eyes lifted slightly, and after thinking about it, he said: "Yun was entrusted by the deceased Zhong Yan to visit Xue Jing, please let me know."

"Lord Xue Jingxue, in that case, you wait here first, and see if Lord Xue wants to see you", the man on guard dropped a sentence, turned around and walked into the attic.

A quarter of an hour later, the men on guard were late.

"Lord Xue let you in, this friend, please", compared to before, the tone of the man guarding was much more respectful, and being able to get a meeting with Lord Xue was enough to show that this person was not simple.

"Thank you so much", Yun Fan arched his hand and followed the other party into the attic.

The interior of the attic is wide, there are several acres of land, pavilions and water pavilions, carved dragons and phoenixes, extremely luxurious.

Not far away, you can see a group of young women in fluttering dresses dancing, the piano sound and Xiao, graceful and beautiful.

Yun Fan glanced at it, then followed the guard man all the way to the outside of a private room.

"Lord Xue, the person who wants to see you has arrived, and the villain has retired", the guard man bowed to the private room and slowly retreated.

At this moment, the door of the elegant room opened, and out of it came a middle-aged scribe wearing a crown, about forty years old, and his breath had reached the middle of the Heavenly Yuan Realm.

"You are Yun Fan's little brother?", the middle-aged scribe looked at the black-robed young man in front of him, his face was surprised, with his cultivation, he couldn't completely see through the other party's cultivation, it can be seen that the other party is either extremely high in cultivation, or has a rather advanced concealment technique.

"Junior, Yun Fan, entrusted by Brother Zhong Yan, came to visit Brother Xue Jing", Yun Fan pulled the black robe on his body, revealing his original appearance, and said with a smile.

"Is there a token?", the middle-aged scribe said in a deep voice.

"Naturally", Yun Fan took out the token given by Zhong Yan and threw it over.

The middle-aged scribe carefully looked at the token engraved with patterns, and after a long time, he threw it back, and sighed: "I didn't expect Brother Zhong to give you this token, it seems that Little Brother Yun is indeed extraordinary."

"Could this token be used for another purpose?", Yun Fan's eyes moved, when Zhong Yan gave the token the day before yesterday, he did not say anything else, but just asked him to find Xue Jing of the Cui Pavilion and understand the situation in the Wu Clan area, but now it seems that it is not simple.

"Little Brother Yun, please come inside", the middle-aged scribe didn't say much, and went straight into the house.

Yun Fan's footsteps followed, the interior decoration was quite simple and clean, a set of tables, chairs and tea sets, two pots of emerald green bamboo, and several landscape paintings hanging on the wall, but other than that, there was nothing else.

"Little Brother Yun, please sit down and try the Wuling tea unique to this Wu Clan region", Xue Jing made a pot of hot tea and smiled elegantly.

"Good", Yun Fan picked up the teacup, blew a few mouthfuls of hot air, pursed his lips slightly, and the entrance was fragrant and sweet, which was wonderful.

"It's good tea, indeed," he nodded after half a ring.

"Wuling tea is produced in the depths of the Wu clan, and only the people of the Wu clan can fry it through secret methods, and it is very valuable on the market", Xue Jing took two sips and said leisurely.

"The Wu Clan region is really big and rich, no wonder we and other human forces want to be based here", Yun Fan's eyes flashed with a hint of abruptness, thinking that the two clans had been fighting for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, all because of cultivation resources.

"This is nature, the Wu clan area is extremely vast, with a radius of one or two thousand miles, and there are countless cultivation resources inside, many of which have never been to the Wu clan itself, so it is conceivable that we and other human forces have indeed coveted it for a long time", Xue Jing put down the teacup and said slowly.

"It is said that the Wu clan has been suppressed by the human race, and for thousands of years, it has been in a corner of peace, and the turtle has lived in a wild area, I wonder if this statement of the outside world is true?", Yun Fan said with a trace of doubt flashing on his face.

"The Wu clan is indeed cowering in the wilderness now, but if it is said that it is suppressed by the human race, then it may not be the case, after all, what is the real strength of the Wu clan, I am afraid that except for the old monsters in the Haoyang Realm, no one knows, maybe, they are scrupling about something, but this is just my family's words, it is not true", Xue Jing's eyes changed slightly, and then he shook his head and continued: " Legend has it that the Wu clan has been based on the east of the continent for tens of thousands of years, speaking of which, not much later than our human race, its tribe is mysterious, divided into three tribes, each tribe has a high priest leading, all of them are strong in the two realms of yin and yang, extremely strong, and the Wu clan has been passed down from generation to generation, every thousands of years will give birth to a holy woman, the status of the saint is higher than the high priest, and even can lead the three tribes of the Wu clan, but these are all rumors, and there is no corroboration."

"I see", Yun Fan fell into deep thought, digesting the information Xue Jing said, and after a few breaths, he raised his head and asked, "As far as I know, the Ancient Forbidden Land is located in the deepest part of the Southern Wu Clan, can it be related to this clan?"

"Whether it is related or not, Xue doesn't know, but the Southern Wu Clan has always regarded the Ancient Forbidden Land as a forbidden place, and never let me and other Terran forces get close easily, and only after the spatial turbulence once in decades weakens, and a large number of Terran powerhouses arrive, they are powerless to block the entry of Terran forces", Xue Jing looked at him in surprise, and then said: "Didn't Brother Zhong reveal anything about the token to Little Brother Yun?"

"Could it be that the token is related to the Ancient Forbidden Land?", Yun Fan's face froze, and then he was a little stunned.

"Yes, this token, in fact, in addition to you and me, there are two other people who hold, it is the key to open a ban in the ancient forbidden land, more than ten years ago, Brother Zhong and I once accompanied the mercenary group into the Wu area, in a barren mountain ruins found four tokens, we groped, found that these four tokens are very likely to be a forbidden key in the ancient forbidden land, a moment of great joy, the four of us shared and agreed on the day of the opening of the ancient forbidden land, go together" , Xue Jing had a look of reminiscence on his face, he looked at Yun Fan, and sighed: "I didn't expect that Brother Zhong would give this opportunity to Little Brother Yun, it's really kind."

"I see", Yun Fan touched his chin, remembering Zhong Yan's expression that day, presumably because he was worried that he would refuse, so he didn't reveal the truth.

"Since Brother Zhong has given up this opportunity, and in the transmission to me, I highly recommend Little Brother Yun, now I see that Little Brother Yun is indeed extraordinary, and he is qualified to participate in this matter, when the Ancient Forbidden Land is opened, I will spread the sound of Little Brother Yun and go together, but it needs to be reminded that the trip to the Ancient Forbidden Land is full of dangers, if one is not careful, it is very likely to fall into it, Little Brother Yun has to be careful", Xue Jing looked at him solemnly, as if he wanted to find any trace of panic in his eyes.

But to his surprise, Yun Fan just nodded, falling into deep thought, and his composure was extremely terrifying.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of Zhong Yan's recommendation, and what he said in the interrogation is indeed true, not only does he have extraordinary strength, but his courage is also amazing, it actually makes me feel a sense of horror, this person has a strength comparable to the Tianyuan Realm, it seems to be true", Xue Jing retracted his gaze meaningfully, and groaned in his heart.

"Lord Xue, the Nanhu Festival is about to begin, Pavilion Master, please come over now", just as the two of them were deep in thought, a girl's voice came from outside the door.

"Little Brother Yun, the Nanhu Club is a grand event jointly organized by the Pavilion Master and the nearby powerhouses, you might as well go and see it together, and besides, the Pavilion Master is one of our trip to the Ancient Forbidden Land", Xue Jing came back to his senses and said with a hint.

"Since that's the case, then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate", Yun Fan grinned, he wanted to see the situation of this Nanhu Society, as well as this Yicui Pavilion Master.

"Okay, let's go", Xue Jing nodded, and the two went out together.

Under the guidance of the girl, the two walked through the pavilions of the water pavilions, and after walking through a long grass path, the front of them suddenly opened up, and a calm lake appeared in the field of vision.

The light spreads on the rugged surface of the lake, reflecting a layer of golden yellow, the breeze gusts, the blue waves ripple, and the weeping willows on the shore sway.

"Two adults, please, the location of this Nanhu meeting is the island in the middle of the lake", the girl bowed slightly, and said respectfully to Yun Fan and Xue Jing.

"Is it an island in the middle of the lake?", Yun Fan moved his gaze to the center of the lake a few miles away, and a small island that was impressive appeared in his eyes, and he could vaguely see the wine flags on the island waving and the flow of people.

"Let's go, this Nanhu meeting, I believe it will not disappoint Little Brother Yun", Xue Jing laughed softly, jumped into the air, and shot towards the island in the middle of the lake.

Yun Fan's face was curious, his toes lightly cushioned, and he jumped into the air like a ladder, his steps changed strangely, his figure flashed across the sky, and he caught up with Xue Jing in a few breaths and landed towards the island in the middle of the lake.

"What a weird figure!", Xue Jing looked back at Yun Fan, who had a vague figure, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This is the South Lake Club of the Island in the middle of the lake", just landed on the edge of the island in the middle of the lake, Yun Fan looked at everything on the island curiously.

It turned out that the so-called Nanhu Society was a large bazaar jointly organized by many forces, with at least dozens of participating forces, and various items were piled up with stalls.

"The things that are really valuable to us are in the center of the island, where only cultivators above the Tianyuan Realm can enter, but if I take Little Brother Yun, it won't be a problem", Xue Jing glanced at the periphery of the island in the middle of the lake, and no longer paid attention, instead, he stared at a gray-white square in the center of the island with great interest.
