Chapter 299: The Chen Family
Not long after flying away, Ji Liao and his party finally entered the hinterland of the Chen family's power.
During this period, they swept over many mountains, and Ji Liao found that there were many people guarding these mountains, and on some peaks in the passes, there were more than a dozen people guarding them together, and most of them were cultivating to the appearance of eight or nine layers of qi.
Ji Liao frowned slightly, according to normal point of view, there are usually not so many people on duty in general, and the guards are too dense, they have been stopped more than a dozen times along the way, Ji Liao vaguely feels that this Chen family seems to be nervous about something.
However, Ji Liao didn't mean to ask, he just wanted to borrow the Chen family to understand the extreme south, thinking that he was a monk in the foundation building period and saved the descendants of the Chen family, the Chen family should be very welcome.
After a cup of tea.
The scenery ahead has changed.
The scattered mountains disappeared, and in their place was a huge valley of great snow.
This snow valley is between two opposing snow peaks.
The snow peak is inverted and strong, inclined from the inside to the outside, with a height of more than 300 zhang, this appearance is like a big mountain being split from the middle.
The slope of the two snow peaks is not large, it is covered with a thick layer of white snow, and at the same time, traces of human life begin to appear here, and there are courtyards of houses with bluestone bricks, layer upon layer, densely packed and extended to the depths of the snow valley, and in the courtyard, there are many kinds of cold plums in full bloom, as well as some flowers and plants that are still in bloom in winter, in this white and vast snow valley, it seems to be fairy and dazzling.
At the same time, at the bottom of the snow valley is a clear stream rushing by, Ji Liao is in a hundred zhang, there is no need to use supernatural powers, only the naked eye can see through the water surface and penetrate the bottom of the river, and the clarity is incomparable.
Between the two peaks, there are crescent-shaped arch bridges, on which pedestrians can occasionally be seen passing by, which is a sense of peace and leisure.
Ji Liao's gaze swept over these pedestrians, the services on these people were different, but some were thin layers, and some were bloated cotton clothes, which could distinguish immortal cultivators from mortals at a glance.
The huge body of the snot wolf passed through the snow valley, and the people above it couldn't help but look sideways, pointing and exclaiming.
Ji Liao looked at the Chen family living here, and secretly sighed, this scene is not much better than that of the Purple Qi Sect.
"Senior, this is where my Chen family lives. Chen Jian looked at Ji Liao with a smile, and there was inevitably some smugness in his tone.
"Hmm!" Ji Liao nodded lightly.
The group passed under the arched bridges and flew towards the depths of the snow valley, and in a few moments, they arrived in front of a very large palace.
This palace occupies a huge area, standing on a relatively flat hill, and various buildings around it surround this hall in the center, which is obviously the most important area of the Chen family.
The snot wolf flew and landed in the square in front of the main hall, and with a bang, it caused a strong wind.
The sudden appearance of the snot wolf immediately caused more than 100 people standing in the square to riot and retreat one after another, but after discussing it, they formed a circle and surrounded them in the center.
Seeing this, Ji Liao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said secretly in his heart.
"This Chen family is really the same enemy!"
Ji Liao patted it, and the snot wolf turned into a streamer and flew back to the spirit beast bag.
The bodies of both of them fell to the ground.
When Jian Chen fell to the ground because of a foot injury, he first stumbled unsteadily, but quickly stood firm.
Seeing Jian Chen appear, someone gathered around him immediately recognized him and said in surprise, "Jian Chen!"
"Hahaha, I'm sorry to frighten everyone. Chen Jian laughed and bowed his hand to the people around him.
The disappearance of the snot wolf invisibly had a much less deterrent effect on these Chen family children, and because of the appearance of Chen Jian, these Chen family children were all relieved and gathered towards the two of them.
"Jian Chen, aren't you going to inspect the family boundary?"
"yes, why did you come back so soon?"
"Did the people of the Shi family and the Wei family cross the line?"
For a while, these people began to gossip, asking Jian Chen like a cannon.
Chen Jian was suddenly in a hurry and overwhelmed.
At that moment, a coughing voice sounded behind everyone.
Everyone looked for a look, but they saw an old man with gray hair and a silver robe, standing behind them at some point.
Seeing this person, these Chen family disciples immediately stopped, bowed respectfully to the old man, and shouted in unison, "Patriarch!"
"Hmmm... The old man hummed lightly, nodded, glanced at Ji Liao as if intentionally or unintentionally, and finally his eyes fell on Chen Jian's body.
"Jian Chen, why are you back? And this fellow Daoist is..."The old man asked.
"Back to the patriarch, I had some trouble at the family boundary before, and thanks to the rescue of this senior, I was lucky enough to escape with my life. Jian Chen hurriedly replied honestly.
The old man was obviously much calmer, and when he noticed the words used by Jian Chen, his brows furrowed inadvertently, and he glanced at Ji Liao in surprise.
Ji Liao looked at the old man lightly, and there was no wave on his face.
Since this old man appeared at the door of the main hall, Ji Liao noticed it, and his divine sense swept over it, and found that he was only a thirteenth-level cultivator, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Seeing Ji Liao's indifferent expression, the old man's eyes flashed, and he groaned slightly, and bowed to Ji Liao.
"Senior, please speak in the hall. ”
"Hmm!" Ji Liao smiled and nodded,
"Please!" the old man sat in a gesture of please.
Ji Liao didn't speak, he walked over with his hands first, and where he passed, the children of the Chen family who surrounded him immediately retreated to both sides, revealing a road. Flying Library
However, among these crowds, there was a beautiful woman about eighteen or nineteen years old, who locked on to Ji Liao with a strange look, and as Ji Liao walked slowly, the woman seemed to be enchanted, and her eyes moved with Ji Liao's departing back.
When she entered the main hall, the woman still looked at the door of the main hall and was stunned, not knowing what to think.
"Eh, Xue'e, what are you looking at?" said a girl of her age, patting her on the shoulder, and smiling.
Chen Xue'e shook her body, came back to her senses, and glanced at the girl next to her with disgust.
"Eh, you're scared to death. ”
"Me?" the girl stretched out her finger, pointed to the tip of her nose, and looked at Chen Xue'e in puzzlement, and then her eyes rolled quickly, looking like she could see through Chen Xue'e's thoughts, "Hey, hey, I know..." ”
"What do you know?" Chen Xue'e asked with a wide-eyed gaze.
"You shouldn't be the foreigner you brought back with Jian Chen, right?" the girl said with a teasing smile.
"Eh, what are you talking about, how is it possible!" Chen Xue'e immediately blushed with shame, and quickly looked around and said carefully.
"I think too, that person is not good-looking and a foreigner, how could Chen Xue'e, a famous beauty of our Chen family, be moved by that person. The girl didn't see Chen Xue'e's embarrassment, and nodded approvingly.
"Alright, alright, you're the smartest, let's hurry home. Chen Xue'e took the girl's hand and said.
"Eh, I haven't finished my morning class yet, why did I go home so early? The girl was pulled by Chen Xue'e and ran two steps in a row, and said with a panicked expression.
"Not anymore. Chen Xue'e turned around and said, but this gaze glanced towards the main hall in the center of the square.
In the hall, Ji Liao sat on a large chair, and someone had already brought hot tea to the table on the side.
At this time, the main hall was filled with a faint fragrance, and only the three of Ji Liao, Chen Jian and the patriarch of the Chen family seemed extremely empty.
The patriarch of the Chen family and Jian Chen did not sit down with interest, but stood aside with their hands in their hands, as the head of the clan, this demeanor gave Ji Liao, a senior, enough face.
"Under Chen Wanhe, I don't know the seniors...."The old man asked respectfully.
"Ji Liao!" Ji Liao was extremely satisfied with Chen Wanhe's performance and replied with a smile.
Chen Wanhe's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he put on a smiling face, "It turned out to be Senior Ji, I don't know how Senior met Jian Chen in the clan?"
Ji Liao glanced lightly at Jian Chen, who was standing on the side, and said quietly, "I just accidentally saved this son's life, and I happened to be looking for a secluded place to recuperate, so I came with him." ”
Chen Wanhe turned his head and glanced at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen nodded at Chen Wanhe.
After getting Chen Jian's affirmation, Chen Wanhe immediately smiled.
"Great grace seniors, thank you for saving the children of the clan. ”
"It's just a small thing. Ji Liao waved his hand casually.
"That being the case, in order to thank the seniors for their great kindness, how about the juniors bring a few clan elders to catch the wind for the seniors together?"
"No need!" Ji Liao immediately refused when he heard this, paused and said, "I am tired from my journey during this time, you can find me a secluded place, and I will come out to meet the people of your clan after recuperating for a while." ”
Chen Wanhe didn't expect Ji Liao to refuse him, but since Ji Liao had spoken, he couldn't say anything, "Okay, I'll order someone to arrange a place for the seniors to live in the next step." ”
Ji Liao nodded.
"Come on, quickly arrange a place for Senior Ji to recuperate. Chen Wanhe shouted loudly outside the hall.
As soon as the words fell, a child of the Chen family immediately walked in, and when he arrived in front of Ji Liao, he arched his hand, "Senior, please!"
Ji Liao supported the armrests with both hands, got up and walked out with the man.
Chen Wanhe and Chen Jian bowed to Ji Liao's departing figure, and after Ji Liao left, they stood up straight.
Chen Wanhe breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and looked at Jian Chen, "Let's talk about it!"
"Yes!" Jian Chen responded.
Then he told Chen Wanhe about the process of meeting Ji Liao before.
Chen Wanhe frowned slightly after hearing this, "So easily killed two people who were above the tenth level of Qi acceptance, it seems that this person must be a cultivator above the foundation building period, but why did he tear the void and come here, and where did it come from?"
"Patriarch, in my opinion, he is not from our extreme south, or even from our Fanyun Continent, and at the moment, the integrity of our clan is in danger, it is better to..."
Chen Wanhe also thought of this, but as the patriarch, he had to think everything through, and sighed, "I'm afraid it's easy to invite God and it's hard to send God." ”
"That's better than being encroached upon by the Shi family and the Wei family a little bit, today they dare to attack me within the jurisdiction of our family, and tomorrow they dare to swallow our Chen family's territory, this time is long, and it will be difficult to say in the future." ”
Hearing this, Chen Wanhe understood the meaning of Chen Jian's words, and tapped his finger on the table next to him a few times, and then said, "I can't make the decision on this matter, I have to let the rest of the family discuss it together, you immediately bring a few elders in the clan to discuss this matter!"
"Yes!" Jian Chen replied, and turned to leave.
Ji Liao followed the Chen family disciple through the winding stone road and walked all the way to a richly decorated house.
"Senior, this is the guest room. The man bowed his hand to Ji Liao, and then stepped forward to open the door for Ji Liao.
Ji Liao nodded lightly, walked in, turned around and said, "Don't bother me during this time." ”
"Yes!"
The man was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly gave up his hand.
