Nine days alone

tom tom tom...

A sound of horseshoes sounded from afar, waking Dongfang Yun up.

The sound of horseshoes in the distance was like thunder and vibrations. A few horses were pitch-black without a trace of variegation galloping from a distance. Each of the horses was two or three meters high. The snowshoe horses are no less impressive.

"This is a black nightmare horse, with the blood of an ancient savage beast. It is also a rare treasure, not inferior to a snow-riding horse." The scholar-like man shook his folding fan and explained again.

"The Black Nightmare Horse is as precious as the snow-riding horse. Could it be that the person here is the Zhang family, one of the three great families in Zhaonan County?" Fang Zhong couldn't help asking, his heart skipped a beat.

"It is indeed a member of the Zhang family, and he is also a famous master of the younger generation of the Zhang family. The young man in charge is named Zhang Yuanfeng. It is said that his strength is second only to the super genius Zhang Wu of the Zhang family. His cultivation has also reached the level of a first-class warrior." The man seemed to be very familiar with the three major families, like a Bai Xiaosheng, he leaned over to Fang Zhong and said, looking familiar.

"This brother, Zhong Zhong below, haven't you asked your brother Gao's name?" Fang Zhong showed a smile on his face. He felt that this scholar knew a lot, and it might be useful to make friends.

The scholar waved his folding fan, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Join next week, known as Bai Xiaosheng."

"It's really Bai Xiaosheng." Fang Zhong smiled inwardly, showing a harmless smile to humans and animals, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, are you also here to watch the Fang family's martial arts debate? Then do you know that this year the Fang family will participate in the martial arts debate?" Are there any geniuses among the people who discuss martial arts in the family?"

Zhou Jin frowned, stared at Fang Zhong vigilantly, tilted his head and thought about it, and then suddenly said: "Your surname is Fang, oh, then you should be from the Fang family, and your age is only fourteen or five years old." At the age of [-], you should be preparing to participate in the family martial arts debate, right?"

"Brother Zhou's eyes are as bright as a torch, that's true."

"If you ask others about this, you really don't necessarily know about it, but you are asking the right person." Zhou Jin spread his folding fan, shook it twice, and said with an inscrutable look: "The Dongfang family and the Zhang family They all have geniuses, and so does the Fang family, named Fang Shao, it is said that he is only 17 years old, but his cultivation has already reached the peak level of a first-class martial artist, and he is only one step away from breaking through to Xiantian."

The Fang family is one of the three major families in Zhaonan County, and it is not uncommon to have talented people.

Fang Zhong wasn't too surprised by this. He had reached the peak of a first-class martial artist at the age of 17. This kind of cultivation was indeed amazing for ordinary people, but it was not for him.

It's not that Fang Zhong is conceited, but that he has the capital to be proud. He came to this world for just over a year, and it took him just over a year to cultivate from an ordinary person to the realm of a second-rate warrior. This speed, compared to those There are too many so-called geniuses who have reached the realm of first-class warriors on the [-]th and [-]th.

Smiling slightly, Fang Zhong stopped talking and looked at the Dongfang family and Zhang family in the distance.

The Black Nightmare's body was pitch-black, with torch-like eyes, and the Cloud-Treading Horse's white mane was like snow, and it seemed to be walking on clouds. They were all incomparably different species of steeds. Gathering at the door of Fang's house, they looked very extraordinary.

"Brother Dongfang." Zhang Yuanfeng stopped not far from Dongfangyun, facing each other from a distance, showing a strange smile, and said, "I didn't expect Brother Dongfang to come too. Could it be that he was eager to take advantage of this Fang family's family?" When discussing martial arts, why don't you compete with the young masters of the Fang family?"

"Brother Zhang, where did you say that? You and I are here to watch the ceremony, don't you have such a plan in your heart?" Dongfang Yun's face was calm and indifferent, but he couldn't help frowning in his heart. "This piece of Yuanfeng came here intentionally to cause trouble, and wanted to stir up suspicion between the Dongfang family and the Fang family."

Zhang Yuanfeng didn't see anything strange from Dongfang Yun's face, he smiled slightly, stepped forward on his horse, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I'll go in first and wait for Brother Dongfang inside."

Behind Zhang Yuanfeng, a few black nightmare horses of the gods walked in the distance with a sound of hooves.

It wasn't until Zhang Yuanfeng entered the Fang family's mansion that Dongfang Yun restrained his smile and said calmly: "Let's go, we will go in too."

A silent turmoil came to an end, but many people could tell that the Zhang family and the Dongfang family were not at odds, and they were secretly fighting each other.

Although the three great aristocratic families in Zhaonan County are friendly on the surface, there is an undercurrent surging in the dark, fighting endlessly, and there has never been a lot of open and secret fighting for thousands of years.

However, after thousands of years, although there were victories and defeats for each other, the three great families still coexisted in Zhaonan County. The younger generation is full of gunpowder.

Fang Zhong fell in the middle of the crowd, watched the scene quietly, and secretly smiled in his heart. The open and secret struggles of the three great families had nothing to do with him, but he never admitted that he was from the Fang family of Zhaonan County.

To put it bluntly, he and the Fang family lineage in Zhaonan County are a cooperative relationship, where interests are connected, and there is not much affection at all, let alone the sense of belonging to the family. If there is such a thing, their family will not be reduced It's been a few hundred years, and it's only getting a little bit better now.

The scholar-like Bai Xiaosheng had indeed come to observe the family's martial arts discussion. Although he couldn't see that he had any deep background, he was also invited by the Fang family, which surprised Fang Zhong a little.

In the end, Bai Xiaosheng followed Fang Zhong and Fang Zongqing into Fang's house.

Today is only the first day of the family's martial arts discussion, there will be no martial arts competition, only ancestor worship, lottery, grouping and other trivial things.

Entering the Fang's mansion, Fang Zhong's eyes couldn't help but narrowed. With his keen insight as an agent of the Dragon Group in his previous life, he immediately discovered the unusualness of the Fang's mansion.

The furnishings in the Fang family's mansion are elegant, and there is no extravagance. Many things look extremely old, with a unique atmosphere of a thousand-year-old family.

However, what really surprised Fang Zhong was the hidden mystery in the Fang family mansion. All the furnishings have their own unique rules. There are things like Qimen Dunjia. There are hidden murderous intentions in the plain garden landscape, hidden but not revealed. An extraordinary formation was laid.

"A thousand-year-old family, how deep is the foundation?" Fang Zhong felt awe-inspiring, feeling more and more extraordinary about the thousand-year-old family.

Near noon, almost all the people who came to congratulate or watch the ceremony came, including the three major families, various forces, and even the imperial officials from Zhaonan County.

There is a huge square in the middle of the Fang family's mansion, which is several miles long. The people gathered in the square are sparse and not crowded.

Above the square is a three-foot-high altar. On the altar stands stone steles, all of which are carved from ancient Qinggang rocks.

"Huh, that's..." Fang Zhong stood under the square, and unexpectedly saw old Mr. Lin and his granddaughter Lin Yan at the front of the altar.

"The Vientiane Tower has also been invited, and it's not just the Vientiane Tower." Fang Zhong looked along the front of the altar, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "That kind of armor is from the Red Tiger Army, and the Fang family's face is indeed enough." Great, even the Red Tiger Army has people coming to watch the ceremony."

at this time--

A group of people came out from the altar, most of them were old people with long beards and skinny descriptions, there were more than a dozen of them.

Bai Xiaosheng followed Fang Zhong's gaze and explained in a low voice: "This is the elders of the Fang family. Don't look at them as skinny and dying. In fact, every elder is a superb expert. Almost all of them are Reached the innate realm."

"All of them have reached the innate realm." Fang Zhong was taken aback. There were more than a dozen people, and all of them were in the innate realm!

In front of more than a dozen elders, a few middle-aged people stepped out, with an extremely vigorous momentum, and their heavy steps stepped on the altar paved with blue steel rock, and there was a rumbling and dull sound.

Qinggangyan is not an ordinary rock, it is as hard as steel, but those middle-aged people just stepped on it, and they have such a momentum, which is very unusual.

"It's the Patriarch of the Fang family and several masters. Just this kind of power makes people shudder, it's too powerful."

"It is said that the Patriarch of the Fang family has already reached the innate realm, and his cultivation is unfathomable. Now seeing him, his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

"Not only the head of the family, the third, sixth, seventh, and ninth masters of the Fang family are all great masters in the innate realm, with the background of a great family, tsk tsk..."

Many people in the crowd were discussing in low voices, admiring, the Fang family is indeed powerful, so many innate masters, it is shocking.

Beside Fang Zhong, Bai Xiaosheng folded his fan, showing a rare look of admiration on his face, and said, "That's the head of the Fang family, Fang Zongtian, and the third master, Fang Zongxu, the sixth master, Fang Zongzhou, the seventh master, Fang Zongwu, and the ninth master, Fang Zhong. Zong Ping, five brothers from one school, all are innate masters."

Fang Zhong didn't know what to say anymore. Those people were all of the same generation as his father, but their status and personal cultivation were worlds apart.

.......

"The ancestor worship begins!"

There was a loud shout on the altar, and immediately the drums burst out, the orchestra was leveled, and the fireworks and firecrackers blared continuously. Everyone was in awe, and bowed down along with the powerful figures of the Fang family on the altar.

"Our family has been passed down for more than 700 years. After several ups and downs, countless ancestors worked hard and worked hard to rule, and finally have the current foundation. Everyone follows me...to worship ancestors!"

The voice of Fang Zongtian, the head of the Fang family, came from the altar. It was not loud, but it was heard clearly in everyone's ears, making people's blood boil and their hearts shake.

All the descendants of the Fang family bowed down, even the collateral branches.

While everyone was prostrating, a few warriors in cold armor came from the back of the square, carrying a huge iron cage, which was three feet long, and the roar of beasts came from inside, which was deafening.
