Chapter 15 Shilin Mei's Family
Shilin Town, a town in the southeast of Donglai County, is not as good as some big cities in terms of status, but after hundreds of years of development, especially in recent decades of expansion, it is comparable to ordinary cities. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The territory of the Great Qin Empire was huge, and the more remote the area, the more relaxed the management of the empire would be, and as long as there was no open rebellion and taxes were paid on an annual basis, the empire would not interfere much.
Shilin Town, which is remote in the region, is jointly managed by the three families surnamed Shi, Lin, and Mei, and the three families are of equal strength, but they have never stopped fighting openly and secretly with each other, and they have never been able to distinguish a winner or loser......
At this moment, in the courtyard of the Mei family, three knights with serious injuries stood in the center of the courtyard, in front of them were four or five sturdy guards wearing soft armor, and in the center of the guard was a long-haired man standing with his back to them, his hands pinned behind his back, and his rather strong body leisurely exuded a majesty.
He is the current head of the Mei family, Mei Yuanhang.
After listening to the report of the cavalry who rushed quickly, Mei Yuanhang turned around, revealing his heavy face. He half-tied his long black hair, his thin black pupils flickered sharply, and he repeated the content of the report: "The mine was attacked by a demon ape...... his voice showed a hint of shock, but suddenly his eyes widened, and it turned into a concerned tone, "What about the casualties?"
"Qiqi Mansion Master, there are a large number of demon apes, our people have temporarily retreated in the mine, these demon apes that appeared without warning have been in danger of our non-stop attack, and the situation is not optimistic. A knight stepped out of the queue and clenched his fists in return.
"Commander Wu ordered me and more than a dozen others to rush out of the heavy encirclement of the demon ape, come to report, and hope that the lord of the mansion will send additional troops to help and jointly exterminate the demon ape. Thinking of the more than ten people who broke through together, only three people remained, and the ironclad cavalryman's face was gloomy for a while.
"You've worked hard. This matter is urgent and urgent, Mei San, with the order of the lord of our house, led the third and seventh teams to rush to help destroy the demons. Mei Yuanhang quickly took out a token and handed it to a soft-armored guard beside him.
"Mei San takes orders!"
With a fist hugging sound, the guard took the token and raised his arms, and a pair of wings intertwined with brilliance gave birth to his back, flew up, and disappeared in place in a blink of an eye, he was a martial artist known for his speed.
"You're seriously injured, go down and rest first. Looking at the three cavalrymen who came to report the news, Mei Yuanhang said softly with kindness in his eyes.
Subsequently, three cavalrymen left under the leadership.
"It's just that we have always only mined on the periphery of Xuelong Mountain, how could we provoke the demon ape?" Raising his head and looking at the sky, Mei Yuanhang muttered, and the sky was still cloudy, but at this time, the clouds gradually gathered and there was a dim meaning. Thinking of a series of bad events that happened in the Mei family recently, he suddenly had an inexplicable bad feeling in his heart, "It seems that the sky is about to change." ”
"Mei Wu, you choose to go with one person to find out how the demon ape suddenly appeared in the mine. ”
Mei Wu took the order. ”
"Yuanhang, I heard about the mine crisis, what's going on" At this moment, a vigorous and powerful voice came from a side door in the courtyard, and then the sound of eager footsteps approached, and I saw a big man with a slightly old face walking out like a tiger.
This person has a wide head and a wide brain, his pupils are a little cloudy, and he has a pair of thick eyebrows, giving people a sense of fierceness, his appearance is somewhat similar to the contemporary master of the Mei family, and his identity is extraordinary. He is the boss of the Mei family, Mei Yuantian. Because of practicing a certain exercise, the hair turned red, and it was clear that he was in middle age, but he gave people the feeling of entering the twilight. But in a line and step by step, the powerful momentum that emerged faintly formed a wind pressure.
The Mei family has three brothers, namely the eldest Mei Yuantian, the second Mei Yuanhai, and the third Mei Yuanhang. For some reason, the previous generation of Mei family mansion masters did not pass on the position of mansion master to the boss, but handed it over to the youngest Mei Yuanhang.
"Big brother, you've heard it all. The mine is attacked by an ape. Turning his gaze at the visitor, Mei Yuanhang nodded slightly and said.
"What's going on? The mine has been safe and sound all these years, how could this happen? Third brother, the mine is the pillar of my Mei family's industry. You must keep it safe. ”
"I've sent someone to investigate. Big brother, don't worry, I will keep the mine safe. ”
With a slight frown, a trace of disappointment flashed on Mei Yuantian's face, and his voice showed dissatisfaction: "Third child, there have been frequent family incidents recently, you, the lord of the mansion, can use dim sum, and the status of our Mei family today is not falling from the sky." I won't say much about the rest, you can do it yourself. With a flick of his sleeves, Mei Yuantian turned around and left. It's just that a smile appeared at the corner of Mei Yuanhang's mouth that he couldn't see, and the cold chill in his eyes made people uncomfortable.
For the eldest brother's heart, Mei Yuanhang knows very well, since his father's death, the eldest Mei Yuantian, who has not inherited the lord of the mansion, has been haunted, in the early days, he just relied on single-minded cultivation to vent his grievances, but in recent years, he has become more and more restless, and he has trouble Mei Yuanhang from time to time, especially the frequent accidents in the Mei family recently, which made Mei Yuantian find an excuse to make things difficult or sarcastic him.
Not long after Mei Yuantian left, a small head poked out from behind the above arch on the other side of the courtyard, and after looking around the courtyard in a shy, he jumped out.
It was a young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he looked quite handsome, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and it was obvious that he had just done some strenuous exercise.
The young man's name is Mei Wei, he is Mei Yuantian's youngest son, and his cultivation talent is also good, he is only sixteen years old, and he has already cultivated to the fifth stage of strength, and he is also one of the best geniuses in the family.
"Third uncle, my father is gone. As soon as the young man appeared, he looked at it again and said in a low voice.
"It turned out to be Wei'er, your father just left. Seeing Mei Wei's cautious and cute appearance, Mei Yuanhang chuckled and touched his head.
After confirming that his father was gone, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared in his bright eyes: "Third uncle, I heard that there are demon beasts in the mine, and I also want to go with the ironclad knight to destroy the demons." ”
"Hehe, it's you kid eavesdropping on us again. That's not going to work, you're too young. ”
"It's not small, I'll be an adult in more than ten days, and I also want to contribute to the family, so you agree. ”
"Wei'er, don't make trouble, next time you have a mission, you will definitely be allowed to go, you go back first." ”
"The third uncle is a liar, he said this last time. ”
"Didn't you send that important letter last time, don't worry, next time there are more important things to be handed over to you. Hurry up and go back to practice, otherwise your father will say that you are naughty again, and the people in the palace are looking for you, and you will not be afraid. Gently patted Mei Wei on the shoulder, and Mei Yuanhang showed a wicked smile that was very inconsistent with his age.
Hearing this, Mei Wei was agitated, looked around, showed a look of horror on his face, and then fled quickly.
"Third uncle, you must be the talker. ”
His funny appearance immediately caused the two guards present to laugh heartily.
The cute appearance of the young man fell into Mei Yuanhang's eyes, and suddenly aroused the thoughts he had buried in his heart, a similar figure came to mind, and the blurred face gradually became clear, he couldn't bear to sigh, and said wistfully:
"If Han'er was still here, it should be so high. He tilted his head and closed his eyes, and the sourness between his noses made his breathing a little uncomfortable.
......
There is a huge mountain range that stretches for tens of thousands of miles on the east side of Shilin Town, among which there is a mountain peak that is magnificent, towering into the clouds, starting from half a waist to be covered with snow, and it is impossible to see the end, because it is shrouded in wind and snow all the year round, and the shape is like a giant dragon roaring into the sky, so it is called Snow Dragon Mountain.
In contrast to the bitterly cold snow at the top of the mountain, there are dense trees growing at the bottom of the mountain, which are thick and towering. However, due to the wind and snow at the top of the mountain, this forest is shady even in the middle of summer.
At this moment, a young man wearing a short sleeve with fluffy shoulders was flying flexibly through the mountains and forests, holding a spear sharpened from a tree branch in his right hand, chasing a horned deer in front of him who fled in a hurry. The young man's movements were very light, just a little on the ground, and the person jumped out of a few meters, seeing that the cunning horned deer suddenly changed direction, the young man slapped his palm on a big tree, and then chased after him in the direction of the reaction.
In the dense ancient forest, vines and branches are mixed, but the young man's body is as agile as an ape, or he jumps on the ground, or grasps the branches and takes off, or his body suddenly climbs forward and leans back to change his posture, surpassing one obstacle after another, but the speed does not decrease.
Seeing that the horned deer was pulled closer by himself, suddenly, the young man jumped up, kicked his big foot on the towering tree, and sent his body out forcefully. The tree shook all around, and its branches and leaves trembled and fell.
"Drink!"
The young man who flew in the air raised his spear, leaned back slightly, and the strength of his waist and abdomen was transmitted to his right arm, and he shook it suddenly!
Whoosh -
The spear burst out of the air, grazing the branches and leaves and turning into streamers in the air.
The sharp sound of tearing through the air made the horned deer's hair stand upside down, and the horned deer, known for its cunning and agile speed, instinctively flashed behind a large tree.
At this moment, a sneer appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth. Because the direction of the spear is directed at the big tree.
With a pop, the spear pierced through the trunk of the tree and plunged into the neck of the horned deer.
The horned deer screamed, and flew out as if it had been hit by a heavy object, plowing a furrow several feet long in the ground before stopping, and the spear pierced through its throat and fixed it to the ground.
The body landed lightly in front of the prey, and the corners of the young man's mouth raised a smug smile.
This young man is none other than Mei Han, who came all the way.
On that day three years ago, he was playing in Snow Dragon Mountain, and was attacked by someone and knocked off the cliff, and now although the seventh layer of his body refining is still not as good as the eighth layer back then, in terms of combat power and physical strength, it is no longer a level.
The experience of life and death made him go further in the cultivation of the Three Golden Forging Technique, reaching the middle stage of the Golden Tendon, which surprised him very much.
This time he came home from a little bit of a cliff climb up. As early as halfway up, he began to be hungry, and at the moment he was too hungry to do so. Carrying the horned deer, Mei Han quickly rushed to the mountain stream, peeled the skin, washed the meat, sorted out several large pieces of meat, and grilled them on the fire.
