Although it is said that the place where Meng Shuai is going is Longhu Mountain, the first stop is the Longhu Lower Courtyard. After all, Longhu Mountain is like a snow-capped mountain, and it is a spiritual totem of the world. The real mundane affairs are still handed over to the lower courtyard of the dragon and tiger.

The dean of the Dragon and Tiger Lower Court had already brought people to greet him, and set up a sumptuous reception banquet, it was obviously inappropriate for Meng Shuai not to go on such an occasion. Zhong Shaoxuan didn't enter the lower courtyard, sent Meng Shuai to the flat ground in front of the lower courtyard, went first, and said that he would pick up Meng Shuai in two days.

Meng Shuai originally thought that the Dragon and Tiger Lower Courtyard was an academy, but when he got to the ground, he realized that he was naïve. Thinking about the bitter cold land in the north, there are eight mountain villas, with a population of millions, as the largest force in the West, how can the Dragon and Tiger Lower Court be of ordinary scale?

The two high peaks stand like screens, and the surrounding houses and buildings are built around the mountain, spreading out layer by layer. Spreading for thousands of miles, this one piece of architecture is denser than the metropolis of the previous life. It is roughly divided into several large regions, as if it were a coastal urban agglomeration. The place where Meng Shuai and the others came down was not the periphery of the building complex, but fell to the west, deep into the building layer, only a hundred miles away from the high mountain.

The buildings on the west side of Longhu Mountain are relatively sparse, but each one is tall and exquisite, and it is obvious that people of status live there. The surroundings were apparently cleared, and a straight road stretched forward, and there was not a single idler around.

The rest of the people also got off the spirit beast, one of the tall women stepped forward, Zhong Shaoxuan was not there, obviously with her status is the highest, and said with a smile: "A few senior brothers and sisters are going here, and the dean is in front." ”

Meng Shuai said with a smile: "There is labor to lead the way." With a flash of his eyes, he saw Song Qianhan looking depressed and frowning. At the same time, the disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Lower Court next to him also looked wrong, looking at him with a rather jealous look, his steps were wrong, and he deliberately lagged one step behind.

What's wrong?

Meng Shuai was puzzled, but he didn't have time to ask in detail, because the dean of the Longhu Lower Courtyard on the opposite side had already greeted him.

The dean is similar to the image of the dean in Meng Shuai's imagination, a fat old man with a snow-white beard and a red face, but his head is really protruding, round and bright, like a big light bulb. Although he is amiable, his strength should not be underestimated, and there is no figure who can compare with him below the three cold in the north. Behind him are several people of different heights, all of whom are not bad, not below the owner of the Bada Mountain Villa, and their clothes are also very luxurious, so they are local real power figures.

The dean was very polite to Meng Shuai, not only enthusiastic in his words, but even a little too low, Meng Shuai always felt that he wanted to know something, and he was extremely humble, and he couldn't show frivolity. After some introduction, I knew that the dean's surname was Hao, and there were ten vice presidents below, corresponding to the twelve earthly branches, but there were no two branches of "Yin" and "Chen". Naturally, it is because in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the dragon and tiger have a high status.

Under the leadership of the dean, several people walked along the main road to the highest peak.

The most central high mountain, two mountains are opposite, there is a gap in the middle, as if the knife splits the axe and chisels, the front of the mountain is carved with a large relief, magnificent and magnificent, the closer you can see the more clearly, the left and right mountains are carved really a dragon and a tiger.

Surprisingly, the tiger carving on the left is lifelike, every hair of the mountain monarch is clear, like steel, the tiger's eyes are round, and the posture is vivid, as if it is about to break out of the mountain. However, the dragon carving only carved half a head, one claw, and its body was hidden in the stone wall, and the wall was carved with large clouds, half hidden and half hidden.

Meng Shuai thought this idea was good, the dragon saw the head but not the tail, although the tiger was fierce, there were still people to witness it, the dragon was unpredictable, who had seen it? The carver handled it like this, which shows that the skill is not bad.

However, what puzzled him was that the eyes on the dragon's head were empty and godless, and Meng Shuai thought it was no lust at first, but when he looked closely, there were no eyeballs.

In other words, this dragon carving is a sub-unfinished work.

Maybe it was because he saw Meng Shuai looking at the statue, Dean Hao smiled and said, "Xiao Meng, are you strange about this dragon statue?"

Meng Shuai smiled: "The finishing touch...... Could it be that this dragon carving is magical, and the carver does not dare to draw the eyes, and the dragon body will fly away after painting?"

Dean Hao smiled: "Yes, Xiaoyou has Huigen. However, this is not built by man, it is said that this stone dragon was originally made by nature. Born with one less pair of eyes. If the dragon opens its eyes one day, the mountain wall will not be able to restrain it, and it will be the time for the dragon to soar into the sky. ”

Meng Shuai exclaimed.

When they arrived ten miles down the mountain, they saw rows of wide stone houses lined up in front, although they were not much magnificent, but they were indeed magnificent, and the first floor was even higher than the ordinary three-story building.

Dean Hao seemed to know what Meng Shuai was thinking, and said with a smile: "Do you think that my Western buildings are too tall and a little expensive, don't you?"

Meng Shuai said with a smile: "I think the customs of all parties are different, and I feel very comfortable in front of such a tall building." ”

Dean Hao smiled: "On the one hand, it is a Western custom, a house must be built high to be good-looking. On the other hand, the houses on this side of the Dragon and Tiger Lower Courtyard are particularly spacious. Because nine out of ten disciples in the lower courtyard are animal trainers. Their own spirit animals want to live with themselves. Some spirit beasts are huge, and if the house is small, I am afraid that they will not be able to live in it. ”

Meng Shuai was surprised, although Baiming Mountain is also a sect of beast tamers, it seems that there is no such habit, and everyone still puts the spirit beast in the courtyard. Even if Lin Ling loves cranes, he doesn't live with white cranes.

Won't there be a smell when living together?

Secretly slandered, Meng Shuai followed in, and when he arrived at the main hall, a banquet had already been placed. Dean Hao invited Meng Shuai and others to sit at the table, and said, "Your Excellency has instructions, please stay first, our courtyard is very welcome." Today you have traveled a long way, have a light meal, and then have a good rest. Starting tomorrow, you can play everywhere or practice alone, you can do whatever you want. ”

Meng Shuai thanked him, and several people dined together. Dean Hao is easy-going, although he is a few generations older, he also has topics to talk about, and he is not cold. After three rounds of drinking, Dean Hao said: "A few little friends, besides Xiao Meng, have you ever been to the West?"

Meng Shuai smiled: "I haven't been here, someone from the team has come." ”

Dean Hao flashed a trace of astonishment, obviously he didn't expect that Meng Shuai had never been to Longhu Mountain. Meng Shuai confirmed that he knew his identity, so he thought that he had lived in the West, and said with a smile: "It is indeed the first time to arrive in the precious land." I am also an animal trainer, and I have stayed in Baiming Mountain, and I have always longed for the holy land of animal tamers. ”

Dean Hao said happily: "It turns out that Xiao Meng is also a beast tamer, so it is right to come to us." There are a lot of cultivation treasures dedicated to animal trainers in the lower courtyard, so you can go around tomorrow...... Let's go to the Dragon and Tiger Concentric Stone first, and then go to ......"

At this time, Song Qianhan suddenly said: "I have been to the West before. ”

Meng Shuai was stunned, Song Qianhan was silent, and it was strange to suddenly say such a sentence.

Dean Hao smiled: "Yes? That's great, when was the last time this little friend came?"

Song Qianhan said: "Thirty years ago. ”

Dean Hao said with a smile: "That's not long, it's not short, thirty years is also the change of the sun and the moon." How do you feel about revisiting the old place?"

Song Qianhan said: "Things are still similar, but people are different. ”

Meng Shuai's heart suddenly remembered Song Qianhan's depressed face when he just came down, and his heart sank, and he had a premonition that something was not good.

Dean Hao didn't notice that something was wrong, and said with a smile: "So you didn't find your original friend? It's only the first day, which one do you want to meet, tell me, and I'll find it for you when I get back." ”

Song Qianhan said: "It's not a friend, it's an old friend." His name is Feng Shenhe. ”

As soon as Feng Shenhe's three words came out, the atmosphere changed suddenly.

Dean Hao's unbroken smile froze on his face, and the expressions of the rest of the Western warriors changed, and the wine glass that someone picked up fell straight on the table, making a "bang" sound.

Song Qianhan was also stunned, the reason why he asked was because when he asked the disciple who received him on the road, he was prevaricated by the other party. Even though he was not good at observing words and feelings, he also sensed that the other party was deliberately prevaricating, and felt that it was wrong, so he looked for an opportunity to ask in the field. In his mind, there was always something wrong with Feng Shenhe, after all, he was a figure of the younger generation, how much could he have to do with it? Even if something went wrong, these high-level officials would not be unable to say it. Unexpectedly, the situation at the scene was completely different from what he thought.

He didn't understand much people, seeing this scene, he asked: "What's the matter, he ......" Before the words fell, he felt a pain in his feet, and when he looked down, he was trampled on by Bai Wuqing.

Raising his head, Song Qianhan found that Meng Shuai was also glaring at him, signaling himself not to ask again, so he had to sit down slowly, and his heart was even more depressed, holding the wine glass and not speaking.

Dean Hao smiled after a while and said, "What's Feng? What's the matter, Xiaoyou has a deep friendship with this person?"

Song Qianhan said sullenly: "On the one hand, the conversation is better." ”

Dean Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since it's just an ordinary friendship and it's not a friend, it seems that the fate is not deep." Since you can't find it, it's fate, and if fate comes, maybe you can meet naturally. After finishing speaking, he picked up his wine glass again and said with a smile: "Drink, drink." ”

The Western warriors present raised their glasses one after another, as if they were about to uncover the paragraph just now. Meng Shuai also pushed the boat down the river and drank with him. Except for Song Qianhan, they all had a tacit understanding to skip this remark.

However, these three words were still like a magic spell, which froze the atmosphere of the banquet, and at the banquet after that, no matter how much the glass was pushed and changed, the original atmosphere could not be recovered.

At the same time, several people's hearts, including Meng Shuai's heart, also recorded this person's name.

Just stopped Song Qianhan, just out of politeness, it doesn't mean that Meng Shuai has no feelings about this matter, just in that kind of situation, if you continue to ask, you can't ask the result, so it's better not to mention it, and then ask slowly. After all, there are many people, and there are many people who know about it, and the bits and pieces can always spell out the whole picture.

In fact, Meng Shuai had nothing to do with this person, and the reason why he wanted to inquire was because he had a premonition in his heart - just when he heard Feng Shenhe's name, he was touched in his heart, and felt that this person would be involved with him in the future.

I hope that the hunch will not come true, otherwise I am afraid that it will be another storm.
