In the staggered branches of trees, the sun is hard to shine on the ground, and the rare leakage of sunlight, like colorful insects, seems to be crawling on the moss and the pale red withered sheepskin leather.
After Xu Fan and Zhang lingfu failed for about an hour, the scene in front of them gradually changed. There were layers of mist in the mountains and forests. Zhang lingfu explained: "the way to block the eyes is to be afraid that some people will enter it by mistake."
Zhang Jia is similar to other secluded families, and they don't want to be disturbed. However, the real difference between Zhang Jia and those secluded families is that Zhang Jia never cares about worldly affairs, while the secluded families are different. What they value more is interests. To be frank, that group of people don't want to be bound by worldly systems, but also want to get a scoop from them.
In front of a cliff, Zhang lingfu stops and Xu Fan stands watching. Then Zhang lingfu makes a ban in the air. Then the thick fog in front of them gradually fades. The original cliff disappears, but it's a cave.
The entrance of the cave is covered with green moss, wild poles and thatch. On the top of the cave more than five feet high, a large area of green vines is hanging down, covering the entrance. Zhang lingfu is in front, Xu fan is in the back, and they entered the cave one after another. The entrance is very narrow. After walking about 100 meters, it gradually widens.
A long corridor was built in the cave. It took Xu Fan and Zhang lingfu about half an hour to see the end of the corridor.
Walking out of the cave, Xu Fan was surprised by the scene. There were many mountains in the distance. On the top of the highest mountain in the distance, there was only a palace in the sky. The mountain was not very high, less than 1000 meters, but the cliffs were straight, the valley was deep, and the peaks were beautiful. The more he saw it towering, the deeper it was, and the more mysterious it was.
Seeing this, Xu Fan also felt that he had underestimated Zhang's strength before. Looking at Zhang lingfu, Xu Fan asked, "Zhang's heritage is OK."
Zhang lingfu shrugged and said, "that's it." However, it is not difficult to see from his expression that Zhang lingfu is not willing to admit Zhang's power, and Xu Fan shakes his head slightly. Zhang lingfu's temperament is too stubborn.
"Let's go. We don't have to go back now. These are all left by our ancestors." Zhang lingfu seemed to see what Xu Fan wanted to say.
It's impossible for ordinary people to appear here. They have no reservation. They go directly to the sky. A moment later, they arrive at the palace. At this moment, Xu Fan probably understands the meaning of Zhang lingfu's words left by his ancestors.
This palace looks like a palace without luxury. The door plaque looks ordinary. There is no special place. People can't imagine that such an ordinary place is where the legendary hermit family is.
There are only a few gatekeepers at the gate who are at the level of Huang Jie. This kind of strength is no different from ordinary people in Xu Fan's eyes.
Even his secluded families, such as the gatekeepers at the gate of the Ye family, have at least the level of xuanjie, and those secluded sects guard the Mountain Gate with at least the highest level of xuanjie and even the level of Dijie.
"Young master, you have come back. The master is going to send someone to look for you tomorrow. It's already thunderous when we meet in the morning." One of the guard's disciples came forward and said, but Zhang lingfu didn't have much reaction. He said faintly, "I have a friend who wants to see the patriarch."
"Yes, sir, just a moment. I'll give you a notice." Then the disciple went to the courtyard.
Not long after that, the disciple came back. His face was a little ugly. He saw Zhang lingfu and said, "young master, the master is waiting for you in the main hall."
Thank you very much Zhang lingfu smiles a little, but he doesn't have a bit of airs towards his servants.
Just as Xu Fan and Zhang lingfu had just stepped into the courtyard, the disciple said, "the master seems to be in a bad mood. You should be careful when you speak later."
"I see." Zhang lingfu's face is full of indifference. It seems that he has a big conflict with the Zhang family leader. Xu Fan pats Zhang lingfu on the shoulder, but he doesn't know what to say. It's hard for an honest official to break the housework.
The design of the courtyard is quite unique. There is a large bamboo garden in the courtyard. At the end of the corridor of the main building in the bamboo garden, you can see rockeries. It's a yellow stone rockery. The stone color is close to earth red. Only this color can give birth to autumn. The propriety of this mountain lies in the fact that it echoes with other peaks outside the main peak, and in the continuity of its landscape. When Xu Fan looked at it carefully, he could not help sighing. It was a masterpiece. These bamboo groves echo with rockeries, forming a spirit gathering array. The ancestors of this family are not ordinary people.
"Xu Fan, the front is the main hall, so I won't go in with you." Zhang lingfu said that he didn't seem to want to see the head of the family. Xu Fan gave a smile and patted him. Zhang lingfu said, "it's not necessary to go together. It's not what it used to be. You can't let me do it alone. Although everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, it's a matter of great importance. If I'm accidentally noticed by those demons, it's not just mortal, All the heavens and all the worlds are a fatal disaster. "
"Well, I'm persistent." With these words, Zhang lingfu went to the main hall.
There were no children or servants to guard the main hall. Zhang lingfu pushed the main hall door. Xu fan saw an old man wearing Ziyang scarf and eight trigrams clothes. After pushing the main hall door, a breeze came in. The old man came in slowly. He had a turtle's back on the top of a crane, a phoenix's eyes, a sparse eyebrow, and a ruddy face, He looks elegant.
Xu Fan respectfully stepped forward and said, "I've met the head of the Zhangjia family!"
"You are lingfu's friend." Zhang said, Xu Fan nodded slightly and said: "exactly."
"Thank you for persuading this useless boy back. Thank you." The master of Zhang's family just opened his eyes at the moment, and those eyes were not in line with his age.
"No need to thank you. I'm here for another thing. I want to ask you something." Xu Fan said, Zhang's master glanced at Zhang lingfu. Zhang turned aside and did not look at Zhang's master.
"Ah." The owner of the family sighed.
