The porter, who was unhappy, looked up and saw the young man's sharp eyes, and his figure was extremely tall in the morning mist, and a sense of powerlessness as if he was a little ant hit him, and he immediately trembled.

The young man's voice was like thunder, and it exploded in his ears, and the porter immediately woke up and hurriedly said: "Here, here! ”

Shen Yun's heart was overjoyed, and he smiled and said, "Just say that the old man Shen Yun is visiting, please inform me." ”

"Yes, Shen Gongzi, please wait!" The porter hurriedly responded, and quickly ran inside, the scene just now seemed to be a nightmare, and the previous pressure receded like a tide.

Shen Yun nodded slightly, his face was apologetic, just now he was emotionally unstable, and his consciousness was released, but now that he is relaxed, he naturally has to rein in.

In the morning mist, the east gradually brightened.

Shen Yun was excellent, standing in front of the door and looking around.

After relaxing, he immediately felt that Shangling Peak's aura was very abundant, far superior to that of Old Demon Ridge, and he couldn't help but secretly envy it.

"Young Master Shen, my young master is freshening up, please wait, he will be there immediately. It wasn't long before I heard the porter's panting voice.

"I'm tired. Shen Yun turned around and nodded happily.

The porter didn't even dare to say it, re-entered, and opened the middle door with a "squeak".

I saw a thin middle-aged man wearing a housekeeper's costume and a shrewd appearance, who was hurrying over, and his hands were still buttoning his clothes.

As soon as he stood still, he bent down to salute and said respectfully: "Shen Gongzi, please come in!"

Shen Yun responded, his eyes were surprised, this kind of wealthy mansion usually does not open the middle door, only enters and exits through the corner door, and only welcomes distinguished guests will open the middle door.

"My young master will be here in a moment, son, please. The brocade-robed butler smiled all over his face.

"Probably not. Shen Yun chuckled, stepped into the threshold, and looked around, taking in the entire Shifu.

Behind the gate of Shifu, there is a huge long square, all of which are spliced together by the bluestone of about two or three feet in length and width, the square is seven or eight zhang wide, there are more than 30 zhang long, and it leads straight to the steps of the mountain.

There are many vicissitudes of life on the ground of the square, apparently for many years. A large row of evergreens is planted on each side, and on the periphery is a stone retaining wall more than one person high.

The housekeeper made a gesture of respect, but when he saw that Shen Yun was only looking around, he stood aside respectfully, without any displeasure.

Shen Yun looked at the steps, the stone steps were symmetrical, each two zhang wide, and the inclined plane sandwiched between the two steps was a few huge white marble reliefs, and all the reliefs were exotic flowers and plants.

If the feeling of Baofu is that it is a magnificent and wealthy atmosphere, then the feeling of Shifu is that it is a solemn and classical, very rich ancient family.

I was thinking that I didn't know if Shi Jin's father could save the old man.

I only heard a surprised voice: "Brother Shen!"

Seeing the arrival of the main master, the middle-aged housekeeper bowed and retreated silently.

Shen Yun looked up and saw Shi Jin running quickly at the top of the steps, turning into a white shadow and coming to him in an instant.

Shi Jin smiled and clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen Brother Shen...... Long time no see. As he spoke, he looked at it happily.

"I've seen Brother Shi!" Shen Yun was also full of joy, hugged his fists in return, looked at Shi Jin and smiled, "Hehe, I haven't seen you for a few years, but I've grown a lot taller." ”

The young man in front of him was wearing a plain shuttle robe, with a brown child-patterned belt tied around his waist, and tiger head boots. The hair is coiled on the top of the head, but it is combed in the shape of an adult's head.

Shi Jin is three years younger than himself, he should be twelve, and the appearance of the tiger head and tiger brain in his impression has changed, but his eyebrows and eyes are still vaguely the same as in his memory.

A divine sense swept over, and Shen Yun was also unceremonious, and the divine sense probed away.

The two laughed.

"Brother Shen is lonely on the second floor?" Shi Jin said in surprise, as if he was quite ashamed, "Alas, the younger brother is only lonely on the second floor." ”

Xuan was a little unconvinced: "But I also reached the lower bottleneck, and it is estimated that I will break through soon." ”

Shen Yun smiled and sighed slightly: "I also broke through by chance, otherwise I don't know how long it will take to get stuck." ”

"By the way, my sister is still waiting at the gate of the main hall, let's go quickly. Shi Jin patted his head and said with a smile.

Shen Yun nodded in response, and walked forward with a smile.

Approaching the steps, it can be seen that the stone steps are divided into three layers, each layer is one hundred and eight steps long and more than ten zhang, a total of two platforms.

Shen Yun's gaze turned to the inclined plane, and the first relief was carved with a huge rock, on which a huge Kunpeng spread its wings and was about to fly, surrounded by an ocean of rolling waves.

"Kunpeng is the totem of my Shi family. Shi Jin saw Shen Yun looking at the relief, and said with a smile.

"I see," Shen Yun retracted his gaze and asked again, "By the way, how high is your sister's cultivation?"

"My sister is also on the second layer of spiritual silence. Shi Jin blinked and said with a smile, "But she's the current patriarch of the Shi family." ”

"Patriarch?" Shen Yun looked surprised and turned around.

The second relief appears in the line of sight, also on the endless sea, countless strange-looking demons and monsters besiege Kunpeng on the sea, and Kunpeng is fearless and fights bloodily.

"yes. ”

"How did I hear that the head of the Shi family is in his thirties?" Shen Yun couldn't help but be curious and asked.

"Oh, you're talking about my father, he's the head of the house. Shi Jin looked strange.

Suddenly remembered that the other party was a loose cultivator, so he explained in detail: "The head of the family is only responsible for managing the mortals of the Shi family, but the patriarch of the immortal cultivator is my sister, and the head of the family is usually appointed and dismissed by the patriarch. ”

"I see. Shen Yun suddenly realized, and now he finally solved a lot of doubts.

The two laughed and gossiped and walked up slowly.

A new question popped up in Shen Yun's heart.

According to this, Shi Jin's sister is the current supreme leader of the Shi family, and his sister is only fourteen years old. And who appointed and dismissed her, the patriarch?

In Shen Yun's impression, the patriarchs are all respected clan elders, or they are hereditary by men, because women are going to marry, if they marry in the future, won't the Shi family have no patriarch?

Although he is full of questions, these are not easy to ask, he can't just come to inquire about the marriage of the patriarch of the family, this is too gossip, maybe Shi Jin still thinks he has some ideas.

Shen Yun shook his head and didn't think much about it. Anyway, now you don't have to bother to find any famous mountains and rivers and immortal lands, you just need to ask the Shi family sisters and brothers for advice when the time comes.

Turning his gaze to the third relief, this is a vast sea of clouds, at this time Kunpeng is independent of the top of the mountain, proud of the world, but look closely, its eyes are so lonely and sad.

After a while, walk to the top of the steps, behind a wide square in front of you, in front of the main hall, a young girl is slim.

Behind the main hall, there are many towering trees, and a mountain wall can be seen in the mist, and a lone peak rises farther away, high in the clouds, and the top cannot be seen at a glance.

On both sides of the square, cannas are blooming brightly, emitting a faint floral fragrance.

When the girl saw the two of them coming, she hurried forward to meet them.

After a few months of studying with the patriarchs, Shen Yun can barely be said to know a little about etiquette and knowledge. Seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted: "In Xia Shenyun, I have seen Patriarch Shi!"

The girl was wearing a peach blossom pattern pink shirt, a wide lotus leaf skirt behind her, her skin was white and tender, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water. The top of the head is tied in a bun, and a white square scarf is tied up, and a jasper flying phoenix hairpin is inserted horizontally on it.

At this moment, wrapped in the morning light, it is as beautiful as a hibiscus.

"The little woman Shi Qiulan has seen Brother Shen. The girl and Shi Jin's faces were quite similar, and she smiled and hugged her fists and saluted, "Brother Shen can call me by name, please sit inside." ”

"Yes, Brother Shen, please come in!" Shi Jin also warmly invited.

Shen Yun didn't know much about immortal cultivators, Shi Jin was the only one he was familiar with, so he didn't understand anything about monk etiquette, although he felt that it was a bit strange for women to not practice blessing rites, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he walked into the main hall with their sisters and brothers.

The style of the main hall of Daning Kingdom is similar, but the lobby of the Shi family is antique.

In the center of the main hall hangs a huge ink landscape painting, mainly black and white, dotted with small pieces of red flowers and green leaves, fresh and refined, and it is the scenery of Shangling Peak painted on a closer look.

Shi Qiulan invited Shen Yun to sit down in the guest seat, and at this time, two beautiful maids about sixteen years old brought them tea.

Shen Yun glanced at it, only to feel that the two girls looked very similar, and their divine sense was slightly probed, and they were not immortal cultivators.

"They are all members of my Shi family, and these two sisters are twins. Shi Qiulan saw that Shen Yun was looking at the two beautiful maids, and chuckled.

Shen Yun smiled and nodded, took the celadon tea cup, and in the steaming heat, the tea leaves were fragrant, much richer than the fragrance he had eaten in Sangshan in the past.

In fact, when Bao Zhengchu launched the new tea, he would always give him a little, but he would give it to the elders.

Just as he was about to taste it, Shi Qiulan's crisp voice came.

"Brother Shen taste, this is the famous high-grade Sangshan silver needle in Daning Kingdom, it is a tribute tea, and you can't taste it at leisure, because Sangshan has enough aura, and this tea also contains a little aura, which is also beneficial to our monks. ”

Shen Yun smiled dumbly when he heard this, took a sip, and sure enough, the tea contained a trace of aura, although it was not much, but it felt quite comfortable after drinking.

After living in Sangshan for seven or eight months, I couldn't imagine that the first time I drank Sangshan silver needles was actually in Shijia.

couldn't help but scold the old man, who usually prevaricated himself with bad tea.

Shi Qiulan saw Shen Yun smiling, and glanced at Shi Jin, but they didn't know why.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Seeing the expressions of the two, Shen Yun couldn't help but laugh, apologized first, and explained in detail.

"I live in Sangshan at present, this Sangshan is the fief of one of my elders, and I have lived there for more than half a year, but I didn't expect to drink Sangshan silver needles for the first time, or in your mansion, so I think it's funny, it's really rude. ”

"Brother Shen is cultivating and doesn't know what's going on outside the window, no wonder all the scattered cultivators have now reached the second layer of spiritual silence. Shi Qiulan's eyes fluttered, and he smiled. She had heard her brother mention this person a long time ago, but now it seems that she is a person of temperament, and she can't help but have a trace of thought in her heart when she has anything to say.

Shen Yun hurriedly humbled.

"That Bao Shilang, is it Brother Shen's elder?" Shi Jin asked with a smile.

"Yes, he is my father's brother, and I am now studying under the old sect of Yuan Wenhua Yuange, so I live in Sangshan. ”

"It turns out that Brother Shen is a disciple of the Yuan Pavilion Elder?" Shi Qiulan showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"Do you also know the patriarch?" Shen Yunqi said, he originally thought that immortal cultivators would not care about these mortals.

"Of course, Yuan Ge Lao is a famous elder of the Three Dynasties in Daning Kingdom, but I didn't expect Brother Shen to become a disciple of the Yuan Elder. Shi Qiulan smiled slightly, "When I heard Brother Jin say that I met Your Excellency in the Old Demon Ridge, I thought that Brother Shen was a member of the neighborhood clan. ”

"That's the ......" Shen Yun pondered for a moment, thinking of the purpose of this trip, he briefly explained the matter of going to study under the patriarch.

"I see, this is also fate, Yuan Ge Lao is a famous elder, and idlers usually can't get into his eyes. Shi Qiulan was stunned when she heard this.

Shi Jin looked puzzled, a good immortal cultivator, what to learn from a mortal?

Shi Qiulan didn't think so, but boasted: "Only a character like Brother Shen can make him take a fancy to him at a glance." But I don't know how the old man is now, it seems that he is very old. ”

"Yes, the patriarch is already eighty years old!" Shen Yun said with a sigh.

He looked at Shi Qiulan with hope again, and asked cautiously: "I can't hide it, I came to your mansion today for the patriarch, and I obviously feel that he has run out of oil, I don't know what kind of elixir immortal cultivators can have, which can increase his longevity?"
