Chapter 855 Fan Mansion

A few days later, in a quiet alley in Tianlong City, Zheng Feng took Alice and walked slowly on the bluestone floor. He walked very slowly, very slowly...

Her eyes quietly observed everything around her. More than three years have passed, and this alley is still as quiet as before, far away from the prosperity of the imperial capital, without obvious changes.

Alice kept holding Zheng Feng's little hand, and at this time he slightly increased his strength, as if he was a little nervous. She asked worriedly: "Big brother, Alice is a little scared. What if Grandpa Fan doesn't like Alice?"

"Little girl, don't think about it. Her adoptive father is a very kind person. As long as you don't make any strange actions, he will not hate you." Zheng Feng said helplessly. He was about to forget what time he explained to the little girl.

"Big brother, what is a strange move?" the little girl asked.

It was this question again. Zheng Feng felt a faint pain in his temple. He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say strange things, don't ask strange questions. If you don't know, don't say anything, don't do anything, pretend to be a quiet and good kid. You can always do this?"

"Oh..." the little girl responded obediently, pretending to be a good child, she can do this!

Passing by the bluestone alley, the exit suddenly became clear, revealing a solemn mansion. The majestic stone door carved a picture of soul beast dancing. There was no change in the door knocker, and it was still the original lacquer, gold nails and copper rings.

A wooden plaque was quietly mounted above the stone gate, and the word "Fanfu" was written in vigorous and powerful brushwork.

Two vivid stone lions stand on both sides of the stone gate, one on the left and the other on the right, staring at each other, without anger.

The realistic stone lion scared the little girl, and she patted her chest before calming down. This was the first time she saw such an ancient and mellow mansion.

In her understanding, people living in such places must be very old-fashioned old men, and must be very strict and harsh. She is always worried whether she will be hated by her elder brother's adoptive father.

Zheng Feng gently raised the door knocker and made a melodious sound. After a while, the stone door slowly opened, and a servant leaned out. When he saw Zheng Feng in front of the door, he immediately opened the door and said in surprise: "Young Master, you are back."

More than three years have passed, and Zheng Feng has grown from a young boy who was less than thirteen years old when he left the mansion to a young man who is now sixteen years old. The Aokiji on his face has completely disappeared, his facial features have become much more resolute and calm.

Although his appearance changed a lot, the long flowing silver hair behind him had no change, so the servant recognized Zheng Feng immediately.

The adoptive father likes a quiet atmosphere and values ​​emotions. He is very nostalgic. Everything in the mansion has been changing for ten years. Even if he is just a servant, he will not change it at will.

"Yeah." Zheng Feng nodded, led Alice into the mansion. After the servant closed the stone gate, he asked, "Uncle Pei, what's going on in the mansion?"

Pei Bo is an old servant in the Fan Mansion. He was the one who opened the door for Xiao Xiu and Zheng Feng back then. Now, after so many years, he has remained at the Fan Mansion to work. After Zheng Feng entered the mansion, he has been taken care of many times.

Pei Bo bowed slightly and said, "Young man, everything is fine in the mansion. But shortly after you left the mansion, the master stepped down from his post in the court and stayed in the mansion for peace and maintenance. However, he would often be invited by His Majesty to enter the palace for a gathering."

With the age of his adoptive father, he should have stepped down and taken up his post for a long time. However, because he was in the war-torn era, how could he retire with peace of mind as a veteran of the Tianlong Empire?

Later, the war stopped, and the heavy responsibility on his adoptive father was gradually removed. After Zheng Feng entered the mansion, he had already been much more leisurely. Except for when there were important matters, no one could make a judgment, he would bother his adoptive father. Now he is fully cultivated, which is also expected.

The flying eaves and brackets, carved beams and painted buildings in the Fan Mansion are completely different from the architectural style outside. The little girl is now hesitating about Zheng Feng who entered the Fan Mansion for the first time, looking at everything around curiously, but because she wanted to pretend to be a good child, she didn't make any noise.

Walking on the corridor, Zheng Feng asked, "Uncle Pei, is your adopted father cultivating in the backyard at this time?"

Pei Bo smiled and said, "Yes, after cultivation, the master's habits have not changed. It is in the morning rush. It's rare that you still remember the master's habits."

How could he forget everything about the adoptive father? It seems that the adoptive father's body is still healthy, which makes him feel much more at ease.

"Young Master, should you go back and rest first, wait for the old slave to tell you the master, or just go directly to see him now."

Zheng Feng waved his hand and smiled and said, "I'll just go to see my foster father myself. Uncle Pei, go and do other things."

"I know, young master, then the old slave will take his leave first. If necessary, the young master can call me at any time." Pei Bo bowed and slowly retreated. From entering the door to now, he has not asked a question about Alice at all.

He didn't need to know who Alice was, he just needed to know that Alice was brought in by Zheng Feng, which was enough. Every servant in the Fan Mansion had been professionally trained to know what his identity was.

Zheng Feng was kind to them, and called him "Uncle Pei". That was the young master himself decided, but he would not really call himself uncle. They always kept in mind what he should do or what he shouldn't do.

Alice sniffed her nose and asked, "Big Brother, there is a fragrance all around here, it's faint, is it a fragrance of flowers?"

Zheng Feng shook his head. Although he could no longer smell the fragrance now, the five-year memory would not be so easy to forget.

He explained with a smile: "It's not the fragrance of flowers, but the fragrance emitted by burning red sandalwood. It's refreshing and pleasant, and has the effect of gathering spirits. The adoptive father likes the smell of red sandalwood, so this fragrance is permeated in the mansion."

"Alice also likes this fragrance." The little girl said with a smile. After Pei Bo retreated, she turned around and turned back to the active little girl.

Zheng Feng smiled faintly and said, "I used to like it very much..."

"Does the big brother not like it now?" the little girl asked in confusion. She thought the faint fragrance was very pleasant.

Zheng Feng shook his head without answering.

I could smell it before, so I could naturally say I like it, but now he can no longer ask any smell, and how to talk about whether he likes it or not. He just quietly took the little girl through the mansion.

My adoptive father likes tranquility, so in the huge mansion, there are not many servants, and there are a few strands of sandalwood around him, so there are no idle people.

Since Pei Bo, Zheng Feng and Alice have only met a few maids, nodded and bowed to them, and passed by in a hurry.

The Fan Mansion is so big, but there are not many servants, so every servant has his own job and cannot be lazy. Zheng Feng understands them, so he doesn't mind, so he takes the little girl all the way and finally comes to the backyard.

The backyard of Fan Mansion is not luxurious, with no gorgeous flowers visible, only a few calm boulders, quietly sitting by the pond.

The small pond has clear and green water, and there are a few lotus flowers on the surface of the pond, which are fragmentary and used as embellishment.

Under the lotus leaves, there are a few carp swimming leisurely and leisurely, peaceful and quiet.

A by the pond, a white-haired old man was slowly doing some strange movements. Alice's eyes were full of curiosity, but when she remembered her elder brother's explanation, she didn't dare to speak casually, for fear that she would ask strange questions.

The old man's movements were extremely slow, but he was very calm. Even if he was standing upright with one leg, he could not see any tremor.

Zheng Feng did not disturb him, stood by the side and waited quietly, as if he was back to the leisurely days before...

Every morning, he also stood in the backyard and watched his adoptive father play this "Five Animal Show".

According to his adoptive father, the "Five Animals Play" was the method of cultivation taught to him by an old man when he was middle-aged.

The whole set of * movements is divided into five steps. Each step is to imitate a kind of soul beast, which is a technique that connects the movements of five soul beasts: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and crane.

Because the five soul beasts are not related at all, the movements of the entire set of martial arts look very strange to outsiders, and they feel unliterate and unparalleled. At least he had always thought so before leaving Fan Mansion.
