Chapter 190 - A New WorldOne of the three men was kicked away by Ji Feng and immediately lost consciousness. The other one had his nose broken and was rolling on the ground, screaming miserably.
This time, the man in the peaked cap was frightened out of his wits. The arrogant and disdainful look on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a deep fear and an inexplicable sense of shock.He no longer dared to be arrogant. In fact, when Ji Feng asked him to lead the way, he scrambled up the mountain. It was as if he was regretting that his parents had given him less than two legs!
As for Ji Feng and Han Zhong, they leisurely followed behind. They had seen far too many people, especially Ji Feng, who knew how many times he had seen someone like the cap.
Strictly speaking, these ruffians were no different from the rest of society. Many of them had this sort of cowardly, bullying personality. When they saw that others were not as good as them, they couldn"t help teasing and even bullying them.
However, once he found out that the other party wasn"t like he had imagined, and had instead ruthlessly beaten him up, his waist would immediately bend down and he would reveal a flattering smile.
No matter how infuriated he was, he did not dare to show it on his face!
People like that are everywhere around us.
Therefore, Ji Feng and Han Zhong didn"t even look at the man in the peaked cap at all. They only followed behind him at a leisurely pace as they walked up the mountain.
As for the white pearl, it had disappeared without a trace. However, none of the three noticed it."Whew ~ ~!"
Han Zhong"s breathing gradually became heavier. His physique was already a bit weak. In addition to the fact that he was currently climbing a mountain, the peaked cap man used all of his strength to climb upwards out of fear. Han Zhong could not keep up.
But he said nothing and insisted on following.
Fortunately, the surrounding mountains weren"t too high, so after twenty minutes, they arrived at the edge of the forest."Let me ask you, where is my father?!" Han Zhong walked two steps forward, grabbed the peaked cap"s collar, and asked with his eyes wide open.
"Right, right here!" The peaked cap pointed to the forest ahead.
"If you dare lie to me, I will cripple you today!" Han Zhong said coldly.
The peaked cap man could not help but feel his throat go dry as he felt his heart tighten. He hurriedly said, "No, I"m not lying to you. Your father is inside. You"ll know once you go in and take a look …"
Han Zhong glared: "Lead the way!"The peaked cap man was a bit angry, but when he saw Ji Feng, who was wearing sungla.s.ses, standing not far away, he couldn"t help but shrink his neck. Even though he was unwilling, he could only obediently lead the way.
As the two entered the forest, the scenery in front of them changed. They were greatly astonished.
In the middle of the lush forest, there was actually a flat ground. It wasn"t a slope like the one on the mountain, but rather a flat ground. It was as if the mountain had been cut down horizontally to form a flat surface.
This piece of flat land had an area of at least three to four hundred square meters. The surroundings were filled with lush trees. Even this flat land had a few trees growing on it.However, this was not enough to surprise Ji Feng and Han Zhong. What truly surprised them was that after walking along this flat ground, they saw a building!
It was an old building that seemed to have some thoughts. The door was a dark brown colored wood. Clearly, this color had been formed after the pa.s.sage of time.
Above the gates were eaves and carved pillars. Especially the two thick pillars in front of the gates, there were many engravings on them, and on them were divine dragons that circled around the beams. There were also carvings of various shapes, as if they were some ancient palace building.
The entire building was filled with an ancient feeling, as if it had come to a certain era in history.What surprised both Ji Feng and Han Zhong even more was that this building that brimmed with the flavor of history was actually completely in the middle of a mountain. It was as if a deity had descended from the heavens in ancient times and casually hollowed out a piece of the mountain before placing the building inside!
Of course, this was just Ji Feng and Gu Ruoyun"s perception. In reality, they could completely see that this building was built directly into the mountain. Whether it was height or width, it was close to the surrounding stone walls and there wasn"t much of a discrepancy!
Ji Feng guessed that this place was a relatively shallow cave and someone had built this building inside it.
Of course, it could also be because they wanted to build such a structure, so they specially dug out this mountain to create a cave.
Regardless of which situation it was, it was enough to show the outstanding wisdom of the person who had built this building. People could not help but be amazed.The building in front of him made Ji Feng resemble a half-mountain buddha. There were many buddhist statues that were carved directly after cutting open the mountain, causing the entire buddhist statue to appear as if it was built inside a large cave. The style was very similar to the building in front of him.
It seemed that this was also an ancient building. Ji Feng silently thought in his heart.He turned his head and looked around. He saw that Han Zhong was still in a state of shock … After all, they had seen a desolate scene along the way. The wilderness, barren hills, and the wasteland of the suburbs made them unable to imagine that there was a new world in the lush forest halfway up the mountain!
This made people feel as if they had suddenly entered Tao Yuanming"s Peach Blossom Origin!
"Eastern Emergence Hall!"
Suddenly, Ji Feng"s gaze landed on the entrance beam of the building. On the horizontal stone, there were four big words carved on it.
The characters were written in traditional Chinese characters and clearly not a product of modern times. This directly proved that Ji Feng"s guess was correct. This was indeed an ancient building. Moreover, it should be a clan or ancestral hall.
At this time, Ji Feng was suddenly enlightened. No wonder he was curious before this. Aside from tombstones and tombs, there were only a few short pine trees. How could there be any hidden people?
Now, everything became clear. There was actually an ancestral hall halfway up the mountain!
Under the cover of the dense forest, it was difficult for anyone to see the ancestral hall from the bottom of the mountain. If someone were to hide here, it would be impossible for someone unfamiliar with the place to find it.
"Where is our Chairman Han?" Ji Feng withdrew his gaze from the ancestral hall and asked in a low voice.
"It"s inside!" said the peaked cap man.Only then did Han Zhong come back to his senses. His face sank. "Lead the way!"
Just as the cap man was about to speak, Ji Feng suddenly walked up to him. He didn"t know what to say and hurriedly led the way.
"Creaaaak."
When the main door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, a creaking sound that made one"s teeth ache immediately came from the door, causing Han Zhong to instantly frown. He felt his scalp go numb.
Ji Feng also felt extremely uncomfortable from the ear-piercing sound, but fortunately, after the door was opened, the sound immediately disappeared and he dispelled the idea of directly kicking the door open.
The first thing they saw when they entered the ancestral hall was a row of deities. However, what was written on these deities" names were no longer their names, but the deities and almighty figures in the legends of China. On each of these deities, there was a row of deities that were about half a meter tall.
There was a large incense burner at the bottom that was still burning. It seemed like there were people wors.h.i.+pping these immortals, but they didn"t know whether it was because those people had done too many bad things that they wanted G.o.ds and buddhas to protect them.
The peaked cap man led Ji Feng and the other two around the row of seats, and the scene in front of them changed once again. The peaked cap man led Ji Feng and the other two around the row of seats, and the scene in front of them changed once again.
This was clearly a table used for gambling!
Only now did Ji Feng and the others understand that behind this row of deities was actually a casino!
Of course, there was no one in the casino right now, so the gamblers probably hadn"t come yet.
"... "F * ck!"
When Han Zhong saw this, he could not help but be dazed and subconsciously cursed.
This ancestral hall was usually used by a family to pay their respects to their ancestors, or to hold some important ceremonies. Yet, someone was opening a casino here … If the person who opened this casino was really the descendant of this family, then he was really a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.There were a total of seven to eight tables. Ji Feng took a glance and saw that the hall was filled with tables. In the distance, there were actually some stairs leading to the second floor and the lower floor.
"You guys wait here." The peaked cap man said something and was about to go upstairs.
"Pah!"
Ji Feng slapped the back of his cap and bared his teeth. "Where are you going?"The peaked cap man s.h.i.+vered and blurted out, "Report this to boss."
"Oh?"
"Your boss is here? Who is he? " Ji Feng coldly snorted, "Tell him to obediently bring our Boss Han out!"
"... "Okay, okay." The peaked cap man hesitated for a moment before nodding his head and hurriedly ran upstairs."Yo!"
However, just as the cap man took two steps, he suddenly heard a sneer from upstairs, "You sure are rampant. How dare you come here and act so atrociously! Young Master Han, you sure are impressive! "
Ji Feng"s eyes suddenly narrowed. He immediately recognized that this voice belonged to the person who spoke to Han Zhong on the phone before!
