After becoming enlightened, in order to thank this piece of heaven and earth, he settled here, the highest peak of the name is the Lion King Ridge, and the mountain range is the Lion King Mountains, and reproduces, establishes a mortal kingdom, guards this piece of heaven and earth, when the northern demon invades to unify the world, the northern demon king Ji Li, with its ancient magic nine turns to the soul of the town to hit Ji Li, and then suppresses it in the depths of the Lion Mountain Jedi with its own heavenly thunder, so that the northern demon road collapses, leaving an invincible legend.

The Ye family settled in Qifeng, since the battle between good and evil two hundred years ago, the Ye family rose here, originally a small family, relying on the guard dart for a living, but the Ye family at that time the main family found an opportunity in the destruction, obtained part of the Dan Fang, Dan Dao Xiaocheng, famous Shishan City and the surrounding area, so the Ye family only rose in the middle of the road, established a pill trading base in Shishan City, the family has gradually developed for more than two hundred years, and now Dan Dao is gradually declining, but after all, Zhongxing, the bottom of the run still exists, the clan has hundreds of people up to now, together with miscellaneous helpers, up to hundreds of people, the current head of the family Ye Mengde, over seventy years old, has a big brother Ye Mengyu, two younger brothers, the third brother Ye Menghou, the fourth brother Ye Mengming, the only fifth sister Ye Mengyu married to Bingfeng Xu's family and is the wife of the head of the Xu family. Ye Mengyu's eldest son, Ye Junqing, presided over the trading of Shishan City, Ye Menghou's eldest son, Ye Junsong, presided over the family's external affairs, and Ye Mengming presided over the daily operation of the family, I was already old, and now my hair is about to fall out.

The weather was cool in the afternoon of this day, on a recliner in a pavilion halfway up the mountain of Qifeng sat a teenager with a head pillow on one hand, the teenager reclined and looked at the sky, the afterglow of the setting sun was printed on the face and looked ruddy and bright, the young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, especially these eyebrows, he would not forget at a glance, the cheeks were just right, the muscles were obvious, the figure was slender, one hand was placed on the lower abdomen, the fingers were thin, and the feet were naturally placed on the step, so his eyes stared at the sunset in the red sky, until his eyes shed tears. At this time, a woman came to the pavilion, dressed in a white dress, with a belt around her waist, and her long hair folded, looking very similar to Ye Hanyan, with the same eyebrows and the same nose bridge as Hanyan, thirty-five or sixteen years old, standing there as if she was Ye Hanyan's sister, when she was young, she was a beautiful rich lady, this is his mother Xu Runchun, Bingfeng Xu's family. Han Yan turned his face and saw that his mother was frowning, her face was a little pale, as if she had just cried, Han Yan sighed and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you, aren't I fine?" I just watched the sunset and hurt my eyes, so I shed tears, and nothing happened. ”

"Mother knows what you're thinking, it's getting late, go back, the news says that your grandfather will be back soon, seeing you like this, I'm going to talk about you again, obedient"

"Well, you go back first, I'll look at the scenery and blow the wind. ”

"Yan'er" Xu Runchun called his son softly, tears falling from his eyes.

Ye Hanyan gently straightened his upper body, patted the hem of his blue-gray clothes, and then stood up and looked directly at everything in front of him, only to see the pavilion stretching down for several miles with verdant trees, and the buildings were dotted among them, lined up in the buildings, scattered, people came and went between the halls and corridors, some people were in a hurry, some people were strolling, there were brothers and sisters and nephews who knew Hanyan shuttling among them, and there were family handles at the family gate at the foot of the mountain, and the gate was closed very majestic. Turning around and facing his mother, he whispered: "Grandpa is back" After speaking, he looked at the two characteristic buildings not far from each other near the peak, the green tile purple wood wall, the red wood bucket arch yellow dragon pillar, and the squatting beast on the eaves of the building, which was the place where the head of the family lived and the place where the family ancestral hall was enshrined in the spirit card, Ye Hanyan's eyes flickered, and his already pale face was a little ruddy, as if he knew that something good was about to be achieved, full of anticipation.

Xu Runchun held Ye Hanyan's arm and the two of them walked along the stone aisle, walked through the pavilion corridor, through the round door, around the Champs, and walked to a single-family courtyard after half a cup of tea, Ye Hanyan looked a little weak, and quickly pushed the door in, only to see that there were two young girls dressed as seventeen or eighteen maids in the room, and quickly came over to support Ye Hanyan, one of them said, "Little master, slow down" stretched out his hand on a round table with openwork in the room, turned back to the mother who followed up and said: "Mother, why don't I go with you to see grandpa." Yan'er, you lie down first, see that your sweat is out" said and took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the fine sweat on Ye Hanyan's forehead, "Your grandfather is thinking about you, you are his heart, you should go to the head of the house to talk back first, I'll just go and see, lie down first" As he spoke, he helped Hanyan to the inner room, walked to the bed with two quick steps and stacked two pillows together, and then comforted his son to lie down, gently pulled the quilt to cover his chest, Hanyan was about to take the bookside of the bed casually, and his mother took it off, and said distressedly:

"I'll read it later, first calm down, hurt my son, look at your room full of books, why don't you get tired of reading it",

Looking at his mother's frowning brow and the subtle white hair on her sideburns, Hanyan smiled and said softly:

"I'm fine, I can't say that grandpa will find a way this time, when I'm ready, I'll take you to see grandma, uncle, and sister Xiaoyezi"

"Okay, I'll pass first," he said and left the room in three or two steps, and when he was about to leave, he said to the two girls in the hall:

"Next time, the young master is outside alone, watch me clean you up!"

The girl who spoke just now lowered her head and said with a struggle: "The young master won't let me follow, and if he wants to follow, he will punish us and catch the medicine snake."

Xu Runchun sighed lightly, "You are spoiled by the smoke, there will be a next time..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the two girls say in unison: "Don't dare, don't dare, madam!

Xu Runchun left quickly, Liu Er closed the door, turned around and patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

When night falls, the wind rustles the ancient pines in the courtyard, the autumn weather is a little cool at night, the courtyard is bright and transparent, cloudy, and dotted with stars. The door of the family hall is hung with a sign of the Hall of Prudence, and the plaque of "Prudence and Thought" is hung directly opposite the door of the hall, which is where the head of the family lives. There are four people sitting in the hall, three men and one woman, the female is Ye Hanyan's mother, sitting there is a straight thin old man, sitting there is not Xu Runchun tall, thin, slender bronze face with clear muscle lines, pointed chin, but eyes are blazing, flashing stubborn light, this is Ye Hanyan's grandfather Ye Mengming, the main seat under the plaque is the head of the family Ye Mengde, the appearance is somewhat similar to Ye Mengming, but the face is ruddy, the cheekbones are high, the same gray hem hangs there, and it can't cover the big feet, here is an old man over seventy, clearly like a middle-aged man in his fifties, his breath is stable, and his voice is like a bell。

I saw him say to the middle-aged guest: "Mr. Xu, come from afar, make the humble house shine!

This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a bun and a hosta, dressed in a Taoist robe, embroidered Tai Chi gossip, carrying a sword, a jade sword spike, and a thin-soled black boot.

I only heard him say: "The head of the Ye family is polite, Xu someone just happened to meet Ming's seniors, so he came to see him, he was already self-reliant, Mr. Kan said, just call me Xu Ziying, please Haihan if you are disturbed." ”

"Mr. Xu is polite, Mr. can call my name, the seniors don't dare to be, if you say it, you will be laughed at" Ye Mengming said, "Mr. Xu is a talented man with a clear heart, he has been wandering all the year round, and the dragon has seen the beginning and not the end, please forgive Mengming for being rude, this time he was going to trouble Mr. Xu, and only a master of the immortal sect like Mr. Xu can help, if Mr. Xu has any needs, just put it forward, the old man will definitely give everything he has, even if it is this life, he can !!" After speaking, he looked at Xu Ziying with anticipation.
