Chapter 254: The world is like a chess game
The moon stars are scarce.
Bixian Temple, Qixia Mountain, mist, hazy peaks.
Bai Yanzi sat on the futon, motionless, if it weren't for the flashes of spiritual light on her body from time to time, she would definitely think that she was not a big living person at all, but a lifelike ice sculpture.
There were a few knocks outside the door, Bai Yanzi slowly opened her eyes, and before she spoke, the door opened with a "yah", and a girl flashed in, it was Huo'er.
Huo'er is still dressed up in flowers, which is a little out of place with the surrounding scenery and furnishings. She didn't care, she jumped to the martial arts hall, and the various accessories on her body "jingle bells" sounded, breaking the original tranquility here.
Bai Yanzi glanced at the person who came, and her tone was unwavering: "How is Bai Changran doing?" ”
Huo'er grinned and said, "It's all done! We can meet all of Xiao Nizi's requirements! Now, everything is ready, only the last east wind is left!"
"Okay, tomorrow we will go back to the Valley of Hundred Flowers. ”
......
There are a total of four branches of the Xianma Mountain Feng Family, namely the Tianzi Branch, the Earth Character Branch, the Xuanzi Branch and the Huangzi Branch, each of which has a presbyterian council of twenty-seven people.
Above the four branches, there is also an elders' church in Xianma Mountain, with thirty-seven members, whose members are from the four branches of the elders' church below. Feng Changzhi, the ancestor of the dustless wind, was once the elder of the Xuanzi branch and the elder of Xianma Mountain.
Feng Changzhi has excellent qualifications, and he was also a high-ranking person in Xianma Mountain back then, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is calling for wind and rain, otherwise it would be impossible to have three fiefdoms of intermediate cities back then. If it weren't for the fact that he was expelled from the house and involved too much energy for trivial chores, his cultivation would probably have reached the Yuan Infant stage by now.
It is not easy to become an elder of the four branches, and it is even more difficult to become an elder of Xianma Mountain. To become an elder of the four branches, not only does it require a high level of cultivation, but also a particularly strong relationship. Sometimes relationships can be more important than cultivation. Feng Changwei is such a vivid example, when he entered the Huangzi Branch Elders' Meeting, his cultivation had just entered the Jindan stage, and he was the lowest cultivation of the Huangzi Branch Elders' Meeting, and he had kept this record for more than ten years.
Feng Changwei was able to enter the Huangzi Branch Elders' Council entirely because of his strong relationship, and his grandfather was the banner master of the Huangzi Branch at that time. The so-called banner lord is the chief. If it weren't for the old man's early death, Feng Changwei believed that he would definitely be able to enter the Council of Elders in Xianma Mountain.
In fact, even if Feng Changwei's grandfather is gone, his relationship is still very hard, because the next flag owner is his uncle, Feng Lin Rong, and Feng Lin Rong has only one brother, that is, Feng Changwei's father, Feng Lin Shi. Relying on this relationship, he still had a great chance to enter the Immortal Horse Mountain Elders' Church. However, instead of providing him with much help, this relationship became a stumbling block for him.
Not for anything else, just because Feng Lin Shi and Feng Lin Rong are incompatible, or the kind of incompatible disagreement, a pair of brothers are stunned like a pair of enemies who kill their fathers, and the reason why these two brothers have such a deep grudge is actually because of the family property.
It turned out that when Feng Changwei's grandfather divided the family property for his two sons, he came to "power not wealth", which means that Feng Lin Rong can become the new banner owner of the Huangzi branch, but the huge wealth of the family has nothing to do with him, and these properties are all Feng Linshi.
It stands to reason that one of the two brothers Feng Linrong has gained great power, and the other has gained a lot of money, so they can be regarded as having their own place, and they should not turn against each other.
However, people are afraid of losing money, and they always feel that they have suffered losses, and they always feel that other people's things are better than their own. Feng Lin Rong and the two brothers are like this, Feng Lin Rong feels that Feng Lin has gained a huge wealth and has taken a big advantage, and the latter feels that the former has become a high banner owner is like a sea of oil.
If these two brothers are only a little unbalanced in their hearts, I am afraid that they will not be able to develop today's situation, and what makes them really go to the road of incompatibility is their transgression behavior after dividing the family property. Feng Lin Rong didn't ask about the family's property, but Feng Lin actually crossed Feng Lin Rong and gave orders at will.
As the saying goes, a tiger's ass can't be touched! Although the two brothers are not tigers, and power and wealth are not their buttocks, they are even more fierce than tigers, and they even turn their faces and dislike people, and power and wealth are far more important to them than their butts.
As a result, the two brothers of Feng Lin Rong broke up completely. It didn't take long for Feng Lin Shi's Xianma Mountain Elder to be deposed, and Feng Lin Rong never took a single spirit stone from his home.
......
Located in the west of Yangshou Mountain, Taihua Mountain is south, a mountain is called Daiying Mountain, this mountain lives are the elders of the Huangzi branch of the Feng family, Feng Changwei and his father live here.
In fact, the place where Feng Linshi's father and son originally lived was not Daiying Mountain, but Dilong Mountain, thirty miles east of Daiying Mountain, where the owner of the Huangzi branch flag and his family were located. The reason why their father and son came to Daiying Mountain was completely Feng Lin Rong's masterpiece, and it was he who drove Feng Lin Shi and his son here.
Although the current Feng Changwei relationship is not very hard, he is still very rich, which makes people envious and jealous of the rich. However, many rich people are only generous to themselves, but they are stingy with others, even a useless stepping stone, and they will not give it to others easily. Feng Changwei is a typical example of this type of person, he can't tolerate anyone taking advantage of him, not to mention that a million high-grade spirit stones is not a small amount for him.
Therefore, in order to keep his property in his hands without fail, and in order to make a lot of money from the hands of that damn Feng Changzhi, he had to take action before the clan test.
......
The clouds are thick, the stars and the moon are tightly covered, and it is difficult to see the five fingers when you stretch out your hand.
Halfway up Daiying Mountain, a four-story stone building stands quietly in the night. Although it was late at night, the highest floor of the small building was still brightly lit, the tea was fragrant, and the owner of this small building, Feng Changbai, had not yet slept. At this time, he didn't fall asleep because Feng Changbai didn't want to sleep, on the contrary, he was now very sleepy after fighting at the gaming table for several nights in a row. The reason why he didn't sleep was because of a deal, a deal that might be enough to pay off some gambling debts.
"Brother Changbai, how is it?" Feng Changwei, who was sitting on the side of the white jade table, said a little nervously and expectantly.
Feng Changbai on the opposite side took a sip of fragrant tea, his face was embarrassed, and he said weakly: "I can't do this, Brother Changwei, you should ask for another master!"
Feng Changwei said secretly: "This gambler is too few spirit stones, and he deliberately shakes his wit for Lao Tzu here!" Mingli said: "Brother Changbai, the so-called two masters don't work for one thing, brother, you still have to bother to help me, and I will add 10,000 high-grade spirit stones to you after the matter is completed!"
"What's that!" Feng Changbai's face was angry, "Old man, am I here for your few spirit breaking stones?"
Feng Changwei scolded secretly: "Old bastard, I want to be a bitch, but I also want to set up an archway!" But he smiled and said: "Little brother lost his words, don't blame my brother! Dare to ask my brother what is the difficulty?"
"It's not that Feng Changyu's old boy who is getting in the way, and said to me, 'No one knows whether that kid Feng Wuchen has the ability or not, but that kid's cultivation at the sixth level of the foundation building period is clearly there, he doesn't want his grandson to rashly deal with a person who doesn't know the details at all, in case he accidentally capsizes in the gutter, and he hasn't even passed the first round, where can his old face go!"
Feng Changwei's heart fluctuated greatly, and he said secretly: "This gambler's words are true! Could it be that the difficulties are really great?" Ming Dao: "Then brother, do you have any other good plans? Are there any other candidates?"
Feng Changbai saw that the iron rooster had finally taken the bait, and couldn't help but be secretly happy, and said with a very embarrassed face: "Brother, you don't know, all those who have high cultivation and great ability are from the lineage, and most of them have very big backers behind them, and their opponents in the first round are all set in advance, and they are all some concubines and side disciples who are not very high in cultivation, if we move them, the backers behind them will not give us a hard time!"
"Although we don't know what Feng Wuchen's kid is capable of, but he has a sixth-layer cultivation in the foundation building period, which is higher than the cultivation of our concubines here, I'm afraid that if you really want to find a concubine, you may not be able to beat him!
"This ......" Feng Changwei hesitated. said secretly: "If I go to my concubine, I still need to find you!"
"That's right, you don't feel at ease! Now you understand the good intentions of Feng Qihao, who I recommended to you from the beginning to study art in the Blue Immortal Academy in Caifeng Fuzhou! It's just that at first, I didn't expect Feng Changyu, this old boy, to be so difficult to deal with!" Feng Changbai sighed and said sincerely.
Feng Changwei suddenly felt that Feng Changbai was not as slippery as everyone said: "Brother, although Feng Changyu is from the Dizi branch and you are from the Yellow Zizhi, aren't you always good friends?"
"Isn't it all because I heard about your big gamble!" Feng Changbai said with a wry smile, "This old boy doesn't want his grandson to contribute, you enjoy that million high-grade spirit stones behind your back!"
Feng Changbai sneered in his heart: "Bastards, they are all bastards who can't see the good of others!" Mingli looked surprised and said, "Then how much does he want?"
"That's the number!" Feng Changwei said with his rough, dry right hand.
"Fifty thousand?" Feng Changbai jumped up from his seat with a painful face.
Feng Changwei secretly scolded: "Sure enough, it's an iron rooster that doesn't pull out a hair, it's really a shameful thing!" Mingli showed a look of hatred and hatred: "This old thing is in the eyes of the money! He wants 500,000!"
Feng Changbai screamed in pain as if he had lost a piece of flesh on his body, "What?"
Chapter 255: The world is like a chess game
After a night's work, there were seventy or eighty more simple houses by the Qingyu River, full of holes and shaky, and it seemed that as long as the wind was a little stronger, these houses would disappear in an instant.
The golden morning sun caresses everything in the world, Feng Changzhi is independent of the Qingyu River, and his thoughts are full of thoughts as he watches his family running around, busy, and his mood is as lonely and frustrated as his figure. Before arriving at Xianma Mountain, he was already prepared, ready to be looked at, ridiculed, and embarrassed. However, what happened after his arrival caught him off guard.
He only expected that he would be stared at and ridiculed, but he didn't expect that even the stinky children of the same generation would give him white eyes and ridicule unscrupulously. He also expected that he would be harassed by others, but he didn't expect that not only did they not give them a temporary place to live, but they were not even allowed to set foot on the boundary of Xianma Mountain, and a Qingyu River more than ten zhang wide became the farthest distance.
"Ancestor!"
Feng Wuchen's call pulled Feng Changzhi back to reality from thousands of thoughts, and he knew that as the pillar of the family, he couldn't show any weakness at this time. In the blink of an eye, Feng Changzhi hid all the fragility and loss in his heart, and perseverance and strength returned to his face and body.
Feng Changzhi looked at the young man in his prime in front of him, and his mood suddenly unconsciously improved: "The house is all built?"
"It's almost, it's just a little ugly!" Feng Wuchen said a little absent-mindedly.
Feng Changzhi swept around the so-called house, and said with some tears and laughter: "Forgive me for saying it bluntly, old man, this is really not a little ugly, it's just too ugly, our pigsty is better than this!"
Saying that, the ancestor's heart couldn't help but feel a little more desolate.
"Time and materials are limited, you will be ready for the time being!" said the wind and dust.
He said with some concern: "Old Ancestor, you made such a big bet with that old man, will he make a trick in tomorrow's draw and get me a very difficult opponent?"
"Yes, and it will!" Feng Changzhi was very sure.
He said, "Do you know the origin of that Feng Changwei?" Seeing Feng Wuchen frowning and shaking his head, he continued: "Feng Changwei's grandfather of that old bastard is the previous banner master of the Huangzi branch, and his uncle is the current banner master!"
"Huh?" Feng Wuchen really didn't expect that arrogant old man with such a strong backstage who was not good-looking, "Then isn't he the same as your old man, and he is also an elder of the Immortal Horse Mountain Elders' Association!"
"He wants to!" Feng Changzhi said with some disdain, but also a little proudly, "You think it will be so easy for the elders to enter Xianma Mountain?"
He said: "Actually, the relationship between this kid and his uncle is like a stranger!"
"That's good!" Feng Wuchen stroked his chest and let out a sigh, "Then he shouldn't be able to make any big waves!"
"What a fart!" Feng Changzhi rudely interrupted Feng Wuchen's rejoicing, "Although he is not an elder of the Xianma Mountain Elders' Church, he is an elder of the Yellow Character Branch, and more importantly, he is very rich!"
He added: "The so-called 'money can make the devil grind', so it is very easy for him to find a difficult opponent for you!"
"You always know that you have to bet with him, and you bet so much with him!" Feng Wuchen felt like crying without tears.
"Is that so angry at the time?" Feng Changzhi said confidently.
"This ......" was speechless for Old Man Ma's straightforward and undisguised words.
"Of course, what's more important is that I trust you a lot, old man!" Feng Changzhi looked at Feng Wuchen, whose face was flushed, and couldn't help but smile dumbly.
"Ancestor, you are so old that you don't pay for your life!" Feng Wuchen said with a long sigh.
"Boy, although you can't be proud and complacent, you must also have ambition and self-confidence. Besides, old man, I've done a lot of things to make you win the championship!" Feng Changzhi looked like he had worked hard.
"What's the matter?" Feng Wuchen's heart warmed, and he said with some curiosity.
"It took a lot of trouble to marry your grandmother......"
"Wait, what does this have to do with this clan test?" Feng Wuchen had the urge to cut ties with the old man in front of him.
"Why doesn't it matter!" Feng Changzhi was confident, "If I hadn't married your grandmother early, gave birth to your father, and urged your father to get married early, would you have been born so early?
"This ......"
......
In the dimly lit gambling house, there are crowds of people, and people are full of voices, some people shout, some people scream, some people cry, and some people laugh.
The happiest laugh in the whole gambling house is Feng Changbai, because he lost one night, and just won the last bet, and now the gambling tickets in front of him are piled up like a hill. With these gambling tickets, he can not only pay off all his gambling debts, but also have a large sum left, which is enough for him to redeem his magic weapon.
Laughing, laughing, Feng Changbai suddenly found that the gambling ticket in front of him was missing. Moreover, the gamblers in front of him all turned into ghosts and rushed towards him frantically.
"Ah......h
The blinding sunlight made him squint, and he gasped for a while before he separated the dream from the reality in front of him.
When he came back to his senses, the first thing Feng Changbai did was to reach out and take out the storage bag in his arms, feeling the mountain-like spirit stone in the storage bag, and his eyes narrowed so that there was only one slit left.
There were a total of 200,000 spirit stones in this storage bag, which were the fruits of his labor in the middle of the night last year, and they were deceived by Feng Changwei with all his heart and tongue. Moreover, after the deed is completed, the iron rooster will give him another 100,000 yuan, no, plus the 10,000 yuan promised by the iron rooster before should be 110,000 yuan.
Feng Changwei was triumphant, and said to himself: "Feng Changyu, Feng Changyu, you old boy is so stupid, too easy to deceive, Lao Tzu, I only used the 20,000 spirit stones given by the iron rooster to accept you, you never dreamed that Lao Tzu took 310,000 yuan, haha......"
After thinking about it again, he said: "However, who doesn't know the ability of Feng Qihao's kid, he is a small capable person in the top five in my Feng family's Qi character life." For him, it is not easy to defeat that dirt bun Feng Wuchen!Therefore, Feng Changyu, you old boy can be regarded as earning, relying on Lao Tzu, you have also earned 20,000 spirit stones for nothing, you really have to thank Lao Tzu!"
As he spoke, Feng Changbai carefully received the storage bag to his chest, for fear that these spirit stones would disappear like a gambling ticket in a dream.
Feng Changbai patted his chest with satisfaction: "Lao Tzu is going to make a lot of money!"
......
In the small garden with strong fragrance and a hundred flowers, two women with moonlight flowers sit in the octagonal eaves glazed hall and elegantly sip fragrant tea and watch all kinds of swimming fish.
"Mother, if that Feng Sheng can't get the first place in the clan test, won't the child have to marry him? The young woman broke the silence. There was no trace of waves in her tone, it was Bai Yanzi.
Bai Yanzi's mother, Bai Meiyu, took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that as long as Fengsheng won the first place in this clan test, you would marry him?"
Bai Yanzi and Bai Meiyu have similar eyebrows, eyes and face shapes, if Bai Yanzi didn't call them mothers, uninformed people would definitely not think that they were a mother and daughter, but that they were a pair of sisters.
"I was just trying to stabilize the wind for the time being, a stopgap measure. Bai Yanzi shook her head slightly.
The beauties sprinkled a handful of fish food charmingly, and while watching the fish in the pond scramble to eat, she said slowly: "But your eldest aunt is serious! I think you already have a heart, so I took great pains to match you couple!"
"Mother, there are only the two of us here, you can tell the truth to the child. The first name of the Feng family is not Fengsheng, and the child does not need to marry. Bai Yanzi's brows furrowed slightly.
Baimei smiled slightly, and said gently: "Yan Zi, to be honest, don't you know what your eldest aunt wants to do?"
"I know that she wants to take the opportunity of marrying Xianma Mountain to let the Hehuan Sect develop and grow in the Southern Tang Kingdom, and slowly encroach on the Southern Tang Kingdom. It's just that I don't want to get married. Bai Yan Zihuo got up suddenly, clenched her teeth, and her tone fluctuated slightly.
"Yan Zi, your heart is in turmoil, and the Ironwood Divine Skill is also in turmoil!" Baimei Fish shook her head gently, driving the "swimming fish playing in the water" step shake on her head to shake it together, and the small fish of different shapes on the step shook collided together, making a pleasant jingle sound.
"Mother, you haven't answered me yet. Bai Yanzi's face was stubborn.
Baimeiyu stretched out her hand to caress Baiyan's purple and supple green silk, and said lovingly: "Child, even if the wind can't get the first place, your aunt will marry you to the person who has the first name, you still have to marry!"
"Then what if the person who won the first name has a heart, and the person he likes is also a person from my Hundred Flowers Valley. Bai Yanzi's eyes were blazing.
Baimei Yu sighed and said: "Child, don't be stupid, how can there be such a coincidence?
"What if it's such a coincidence. Bai Yanzi looked directly at the baimei fish.
Bai Meiyu pulled Bai Yanzi to sit beside her, and said softly: "If there is such a coincidence, your eldest aunt may not force you!"
"The child also asked his mother for one thing. Bai Yanzi's face was happy.
"What's the matter?" the plumt sprinkled another handful of fish food into the pool.
"If what the child hypothesized really happens, the mother must intercede for the child in front of the eldest aunt when she arrives. Bai Yanzi also grabbed a handful of fish food and sprinkled it into the pond.
"That's nature!" said the plum, with a loving smile.
"Thank you, mother, if the mother wants nothing to do, the child will retire first. ”
Baimei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go back and rest early! Tomorrow morning, we have to go to Xianma Mountain!"
"Yes. Bai Yanzi hurriedly saluted and said goodbye.
Baimei watched Bai Yanzi disappear into the darkness, and immediately lost a smile on her face, and said coldly: "What a stupid child......"
