Chapter 82 [Huangfu's Family]

It's like traveling back to ancient times, Ge Xian doesn't feel too much modern civilization here, and the Huangfu family seems to be very reverent of the ancients, which also means that they attach great importance to the rules.

An hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a modest mansion, the gate was closed, and weapons such as axes, knives, forks and forks were placed on the left and right sides, indicating the identity of the owner.

Naturally, the door will not be opened, it is to welcome extremely important VIPs, and Ge Xian naturally does not deserve such treatment.

There were several corner doors on the left and right sides of the gate, one of which had already been opened, and Xiao Ran instructed the carriage to enter from there.

At first glance, he didn't feel how the mansion was, but when Ge Xian swept through with his spiritual sense, he found that the entire mansion seemed to be covered by a barrier similar to an enchantment, which made his spiritual sense impenetrable.

"These top-notch families are really extraordinary." Ge Xian couldn't help but sigh.

After the car entered, it was a long road, blocked by high walls on both sides, and all you could see was a relatively narrow road.

The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and the sound of the wheels crushing against the horse's hooves is contrasted with the sound of horse-drawn carriages walking on it.

The road turned continuously, and after about half an hour, it finally came to an end, and a beam of sunset fell, which suddenly made Ge Xian see a stunning beauty that was almost a famous painting.

The current location is on the hillside, and the whole belongs to San'in and belongs to the north.

At the bottom of the slope is a farm with paddy and dry fields, and a residential area is located on the south side of the field, which belongs to the sun of the mountain, to the south. On the east and west sides were large fields, and around the house and the fields was a barracks-like arrangement, like two arms of a man, embracing the whole manor.

Someone was already waiting for them, a middle-aged man and several teenagers.

The adult man is about the same age as Xiao Ran, in his forties, wearing a wide-sleeved cyan robe, his hair looks very long, but he is tied up with a crown and a beard, giving people the feeling that he is an ancient literati.

The young men behind them are divided into two factions, one is powerful and wears soft armor; The other faction is similar to the men, and it is also a scholar's robe.

"In Xia Huang Furui, I have seen the head of the Xiao family." When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Ran, he immediately raised his thumbs with both hands, intersected his palms, and performed an ancient salute.

Xiao Ran didn't dare to slack off, and also returned the favor with ancient etiquette, and said: "Don't dare to be,"

"Etiquette can't be abolished, you are now the head of the Xiao family, as a welcome messenger, I naturally have to talk about official affairs first, and now I have talked about official affairs, and then continue private gifts, Brother Ran, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Brother Rui, long time no see." Xiao Ran stretched out his hand and shook it with him, and the two of them laughed out loud, and the young man behind them also breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that the atmosphere just now still made them feel uncomfortable.

Afterwards, Xiao Ran took the initiative to call Ge Xian over and said to Huang Furui: "He is Ge Xian, the guest invited by the head of the family this time." ”

Then, he said to Ge Xian: "This is the chief teacher of the Huangfu family, and he is also the heavenly official of the Ministry of Rites. After saying that, he winked at him mysteriously.

Ge Xian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that this was probably the big man of the Ministry of Rites who helped him, and transferred Principal Zhou, who originally wanted to punish him, away.

"I have met Uncle Huangfu, and the younger generation is fortunate to be taught by my uncle, and I am grateful." This is a bit hypocritical, but Xiao Ran and Huang Furui both understood, and Huang Furui stroked his long beard and nodded with a smile.

The civil and military youths behind Huang Furui all felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Ge Xian being treated so favorably by the noble elders in the family, Ge Xian was only nineteen years old now, and even younger than some of them.

"This kid is such a stinky fart." A young man with freckles on his face and curly black hair said to a tall and burly young man next to him.

Both of them are in the same soft armor attire, belonging to the military department, and they are dissatisfied when they see Ge Xian actually having to work his own clan uncle to greet him personally when he comes to the door for the first time.

"I heard what kind of immortal disciple it is, I don't know if it's true or fake." The tall man raised his eyebrows, and his gaze at Ge Xian was quite provocative.

On the other side, the children of the emperor who belonged to the line of scholars were also muttering quietly, as if saying that Ge Xian was the top student in the college entrance examination of Xijiang Provincial Government, and his knowledge must be very high, and he wanted to learn from him.

Ge Xian shook his head secretly, feeling that these children of the Huangfu family had distinct personalities, and it seemed to him that this trip would not be too peaceful.

Being able to befriend the Huangfu family is naturally more beneficial to him, but Ge Xian will not accept the solicitation, he has decided from the beginning that he will not rely on any family in the future, and will only continue to expand the free door.

The group walked into the car this time, and it was not far from the slope, Ge Xian looked at the sky, and it would be dark in another half an hour.

An ordinary house in the residential area is the residence of the head of the Huangfu family, and it is hard to imagine that the patriarch of this top family would live in such a shabby state.

Huang Fu Rui led Ge Xian and Xiao Ran into the residence, while the other Huang Fu disciples stayed in the courtyard for the time being.

Xiao Ran's personal guards were taken to rest by the descendants of the Huangfu family, and here, these guards were relatively relaxed, and it seemed that they trusted here.

The front yard and hall are reserved for entertaining guests, and the middle is for the owner's own use, and it is also for entertaining important guests.

As for the backyard, it is the place where the family is located, and it is not easy to break in, otherwise it will be very rude, the Huangfu family attaches great importance to the rules, and Ge Xian will naturally not violate it.

Sitting down in the quaint hall, tea was soon served to a peasant woman, who was dressed plainly, but with delicate makeup and fine skin, she did not look like a woman who had worked for a long time.

"Guests, please use it slowly." The peasant woman offered the tea and made a gesture of invitation, and Ge Xian saw Xiao Ran return the salute, and he followed suit.

From the moment he entered the Huangfu family, Ge Xian felt a ubiquitous pressure of etiquette, which made his mood feel very depressed, and he found that he did not yearn for such a life at all.

Seeing Xiao Ran's evocative look, Ge Xian understood that he was indeed different from others, and he had a rebellious spirit.

When the cup of tea was about to be drunk, finally with a cough, Huang Furui helped an old man out of the back house.

The old man has a kind of death aura that can be seen by the naked eye, and he is already very old, although Ge Xian is not a healer, but under the effect of long-term absorption of spiritual energy, he is particularly sensitive to the two breaths of life and death.

"I'm afraid this old man is about to die, but it's a pity that ......" Ge Xian got up, and at this time, Xiao Ran's face showed grief, and he came to kneel in front of the old man.

"Patriarch, you have to take care of your body......" Xiao Ran seemed to have an extremely close relationship with this old man, and his true feelings were revealed.

The old man took a pill from Huang Furui's hand, and after swallowing it, the cough suddenly stopped, and then he stretched out his hand and stroked it on the top of Xiao Ran's head, comforting: "Silly child, people die like lights going out, suddenly, don't be too sad, I'm almost 100 years old, and I've long been content." ”

"Patriarch, I will do my best to search for precious medicinal materials for you, find the world's famous doctors, or...... Ask Zhong to leave home to make a move, and he will definitely prolong the life of the patriarch. Xiao Ran's words made Ge Xian suddenly feel something in his heart, probably the Zhongli family he mentioned.

Among the three top families in the Divine Capital, after the Yan family is a royal family, their status is quite prominent.

Zhongli's family is even more special, in addition to the scholars and literati, they are the best at doctors, and among the famous doctors of all dynasties, there are people from Zhongli's family, which can be described as a medical family.

Today, the people of the Zhongli family have several of the most outstanding and top scholars in the field of medicine and biology, and it can be said that they have mastered part of the code leading to human longevity, and once they successfully decrypt it, then the life span of human beings may be greatly extended.

"Zhongli home...... Hehe...... That incident offended them too much, I'm afraid they won't reconcile. The old man shook his head, feeling that it was inappropriate, and then looked at Ge Xian on the side.

Xiao Ran and Huang Furui glanced at each other, and both saw the thoughts in each other's eyes, how to solve the entanglement with the Zhongli family will become a key to the re-cooperation between the two families.

"Little guy, you are the Ge Xian who dares to openly argue with the Yin family?" There are many old spots on the old man's face, but his spirit is not weak, especially his eyes, which are not cloudy, revealing a sharp and sharp edge, which is not quite like the gaze that an old man has.

Ge Xian clenched his fists and replied: "Grandpa Huangfu smiled, the kid was just forced to be helpless and had to fight back." ”

"Hahaha...... I have to fight back, do you know that now the Yin family is already difficult to ride a tiger, and I have to do something to you, to put it mildly, you are not qualified to really compete with the Yin family now. The old man's words made Ge Xian slightly displeased, but he was very well cultivated now, and he would not show it because of this.

Ge Xian smiled and said: "My generation of monks has always been against the trend, seeking the way of heaven, and getting the avenue, although there are thousands of peaks in front of me, I still step on it with my feet!" ”

The old man and the other three suddenly looked bright, and they were taken by Ge Xian's spirit, and they realized that the young man in front of them was really extraordinary.

"Rui'er, go and set up a table of food, I'm going to have a drink with Ge Xian tonight." The old man seemed very happy, and instructed Huang Furui to arrange dinner in the backyard, this kind of specification and treatment is very rare, even if it is a high-ranking person, he may not be able to get it.

Ge Xian returned the salute and accepted it calmly, without showing any excitement or flattery because of this.

At dinner, Ge Xian found that there were only five dishes in total, namely stir-fried pork with chili, stewed vermicelli with potatoes, mapo tofu, stir-fried oily wheat cabbage and tomato and egg soup. Typical four dishes and one soup, and there is nothing unusual about the dishes, even better restaurants and restaurants are inferior.

The old man, Xiao Ran, and Huang Furui all secretly observed Ge Xian, and although they were a little surprised to see him, they didn't show any displeasure, and even liked him a little.

When eating, the old man let him be casual, he was not hypocritical, and ate three bowls of rice according to the habits of the family, but Xiao Ran and Huang Furui only ate one bowl, and the old man only ate half a bowl.

During this period, the old man and Ge Xian drank a glass of old wine, the old wine was mellow and soft, but it had some stamina, Ge Xian did not cheat this time, but drank it directly.

The peasant woman who had made the tea had brought a rough old woman to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then served fragrant tea, this time the tea was slightly thicker, probably to remove the greasy just now.

"Ge Xian, are you satisfied with the meal just now?" The old man asked.

He nodded, patted his belly, and replied, "This is the most satisfying dinner I've had in Shendu." ”

"Haha, don't make fun of my old man, the gods are so big, it's not easy to find something delicious? I'm just coarse tea and light rice here, and with your current net worth, you can afford to eat it completely. The old man didn't appreciate it, and seemed to think that Ge Xian was patting him on the back.

Ge Xian shook his head and said: "The old gentleman misunderstood what I meant, and when I said satisfaction, I didn't simply mean the taste of the food, but the feeling that this meal gave me." When I came to Shendu, whether it was the food in the school cafeteria or the restaurant outside, it was delicious, but I always felt that something was missing, and I could indeed afford to eat some good food now, but I didn't need that, what I needed most was the feeling of home, and this meal made me feel like my mother stir-frying. ”

The old man looked at Xiao Ran on the side, saw him smiling and silent, and then looked at Huang Furui, and saw him nodding approvingly, obviously very satisfied.

"You have a heart that doesn't forget your roots, but the old man is in love." The old man picked up the teacup and blew it, and Xiao Ran and Huang Furui then got up and said goodbye and left.

Ge Xian knew that everything that had happened before was a test for him by this old man, and now was the time to really enter the substance.

"Ge Xian, the old man won't go around in circles with you anymore, I just want to ask you, if you want to find trouble with the Yin family, the Yin family will also find trouble with you, and even prepare to use your head to establish authority, so if you gain the upper hand later, what step are you going to do?" The old man opened his eyes, and his eyes became extremely sharp, and he was no longer the kind eyes he had before.

Ge Xian met the other party's gaze, without fear, and had already said the prepared answer: "According to your family's philosophy of life, if you gain the upper hand in the battle, you will definitely eradicate it completely, so as to prevent future troubles......

Speaking of this, Ge Xian glanced at the other party, and saw that the old man's gaze became unfathomable, and even revealed a trace of killing intent.

"Of course, I won't do that...... Ge Xian's words eased the atmosphere a little, and then continued: "The Yin family must make concessions, first, Yin Zhengtian, who is planning to deal with me, must be executed, whether he lives or dies, it doesn't matter, but he must satisfy me, otherwise this duel will come at the cost of the demise of one party." ”

"Boy, do you think it's too much to ask?" The old man asked with a smirk.

"No, this is the bottom line, if I don't hesitate to take such a big risk and use the power I can use at the moment, and the result is just a painless result, then I won't break with the Yin family in the first place." Ge Xian replied unwaveringly.

"What are the conditions, just say it in one breath." The old man had an impatient tone, Ge Xian didn't think so, if the head of the Huangfu family was just a kind old man, then the entire family would have been wiped out countless times.

None of these families are fuel-efficient lamps, and you can use the words other than cunning, meanness, and hypocrisy to their heart's content, but those three words can't.

"The Pang family, the Wang family, the Chen family, and the Xu family of the Xijiang Provincial Government were allowed to enter the Shendu circle, devour part of the Yin family's share, and gain a foothold. In the end, I will be compensated for all my losses, which is equivalent to 100 million yuan. Ge Xian said these conditions with a natural expression, and then waited for the other party's reaction.

"Hehehe...... Interesting, so interesting, Ge Xian, do you know that after so many years, you are still the first person who dares to be so sloppy in front of the old man, and you can also say these unreasonable conditions so justifiably, do you want to offend the entire family of Shendu? The old man raised his voice, showing the momentum of a generation of heroes, at this time, even Xiao Ran and Huang Furui's generation had to become panicked in front of this momentum.

It's a pity that Ge Xian is not an ordinary mortal, his mind and heart have already become extremely powerful, and at the same time, his spiritual sense can capture people's emotional changes, so in negotiations, he can almost be invincible.

"The old gentleman is serious!" Ge Xian said a word of denial, and then said: "Since justice is on my side, it is naturally up to me to put forward the conditions, the Yin family is the counterparty, just accept my challenge." If I lose, I am willing to gamble and accept defeat and let it be disposed of. If you win, then the Yin family must do it on my terms, otherwise I don't mind going on a killing spree. ”

A terrifying spiritual pressure fell from the sky and filled the entire room, as if a giant beast suddenly broke into the room, making the old man opposite feel trembling, at this moment, he realized that he was just a mortal, and the person sitting opposite was a half-immortal.

A sad feeling came to my heart, in the world, these top families can affect the fate of many people, and even a country cannot escape their hands.

It's a pity that when an even more powerful force appears, they suddenly find that what they rely on is nothing more than an existence that the other party can easily destroy, and it is not worth mentioning.

Several killing machines emerged around them, all of which were aimed at Ge Xian, but the strong spiritual pressure made them dare not move, as long as they dared to move, they would be destroyed by this spiritual pressure in an instant, and they would definitely be the ones who died first.

"Old, old......" The old man took the lead in bowing his head, and Ge Xian accepted it when he saw it, but at the same time, the spiritual power formed a protection on the surface of his body, so that as long as the other party could not kill him in seconds, then he would definitely be able to kill the old man first, and the other party would never dare to take this risk.

Ge Xian watched the old man perform indifferently, and when he felt that this still could not make Ge Xian let his guard down, he finally made a hint, and the murderous intent in the entire room quickly dissipated.

"Ge Xian, the grievances between you and the Yin family, the three major families will not interfere, we will consider your conditions, it's good to be young...... That's nice...... The old man seems to be young again......" The old man said with some interest, Ge Xian proposed to leave, but the old man did not keep him anymore, as if he was immersed in the loss just now.

When he came to the front yard, there were many people there, all of whom were children of the Huangfu family, including Xiao Ran and Huangfurui, except for the two of them at this time, everyone else had hostility towards him on their faces.

"I was so offended that I took my leave." After speaking, Ge Xian's figure seemed to disappear out of thin air, and instantly appeared fifty meters away, but in just a few tens of seconds, it had disappeared on the hillside, and everyone looked at this scene in horror, only then did they understand that the other party's strength was already a peerless and rare level.
