Stealing the protagonist's chance at the beginning

Seeing that his presence seemed to cause some reactions, Xu Fei was a little surprised and a little confused.

The old man among the six tea guests waved to him with an amiable smile: "Your Excellency is also here for [Endless Book], why don't you come and talk about it?"

Chapter 408 The Secret 600 Years Ago

Seeing the invitation from the old man, Xu Fei was too embarrassed to lose face, so he walked over quickly and found an empty seat nearby to sit down.

"Old man Zhang Chang accidentally learned of the existence of the [Endless Book] from a strong man, so he came all the way from the north on purpose. He is currently a fourth-order extraordinary."

The old man introduced himself first, and then enthusiastically introduced the other five extraordinary people to him in turn.

Not surprisingly, they all came for [Endless Book].

The nearest one belongs to a village thousands of miles away.The farthest one is said to be stronger than Zhang Chang, and has already touched the threshold of the fifth order.He wasn't even from the Baili River Valley, but came from other regions more than 6000 miles away, just for a high-quality potion formula suitable for his route!

"It seems that everyone has the same purpose." Xu Fei nodded: "However, what were you discussing earlier? It seems to be related to me?"

The man with a square face sitting opposite the entrance of the teahouse is the strongest fourth-order peak transcendent named Hu Xuanfeng.

Hearing this, he said unhurriedly: "What we are discussing is indeed a little bit related to Brother Zhao. But before I explain, I want to ask Brother Zhao first. I don't know if you are clear. 】The price of asking questions?”

"Of course I know." Xu Fei said: "It is necessary to provide equivalent knowledge that has not been included in the endless book, or historical secrets. At the same time, each person can only ask questions three times in a lifetime. Is that right?"

Hu Xuanfeng clapped his hands lightly, and said: "That's right, but I don't know, did brother Zhao have prepared the corresponding knowledge when he came this trip? It should be known that [Endless Book] has collected knowledge and secrets for so many years. , almost omniscient. Don’t say that you and I are only middle-ranked extraordinary, even if many high-ranked extraordinary people are full of self-confidence and ready to use the bargaining chips for exchange, it has been proved that they have been included in the end, and they have to return with regret.”

Xu Fei thought to himself, he is sure that he has inherited part of the knowledge and experience of a saint.

But he didn't have to show his sharpness, he just frowned just right, showing a confident but not [-]% sure expression.

Hu Xuanfeng immediately had an idea, and said: "It seems that brother Zhao is not 100% sure."

Xu Fei said with a slight "displeasure": "Could it be that you are sure enough? But what does it have to do with me?"

"Brother Zhao, don't worry." Hu Xuanfeng smiled slightly: "The matter we discussed earlier is related to this. If Brother Zhao is willing to join, most likely he will also get a historical secret that is enough to exchange for the answer to the question."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Xu Fei became interested, and this time he wasn't pretending.

Hu Xuanfeng didn't say it directly, but first glanced at the others with a questioning look, and saw that the other transcendents didn't expressly object, so he said: "I don't know, Brother Zhao, have you heard of the famous man 600 years ago?" The saint of the human race——Fu Yuanqing?"

"never heard of that!"

Xu Fei simply shook his head. The history of the Land Abandoned by the Gods is so long, and it has been tens of thousands of years since the strange invasion. How could he have the time to study the previous historical powerhouses?

What's more, based on the intelligence channels of the players, even how many saints are alive today, let alone 600 years ago!

"You do not know?"

Hu Xuanfeng was just asking casually, but he was already thinking about the following, but he never expected Xu Fei to give an unexpected answer, and he was taken aback for a moment.

Zhang Chang and the others were more or less surprised on their faces.

It seems that it is incredible not to know Fu Yuanqing.

"What? Is this saint very famous?" Xu Fei asked belatedly.

"Quite famous, at least in the Baili River Valley." Hu Xuanfeng glanced at Xu Fei with a strange expression, faintly despising his ignorance: "Of course, it's not a good reputation, but infamy!"

"Can you tell me in detail?" Xu Fei asked curiously.

Hu Xuanfeng was patient and began to popularize the life of this saint.

It is said that the first half of this saint's life went smoothly, and he can be regarded as the protagonist of a genius novel.After decades of becoming a saint, he suddenly disappeared without a sound for a period of time, and even the Temple of Heaven didn't know his whereabouts.

"...In short, after returning from that trip, Fu Yuanqing's temperament began to change drastically. Not long after, this famous saint completely lost control. He not only killed his own people, but also buried his entire family in the ground. In the depths. It is said that in the end, several saints from the Temple of Heaven joined forces to completely suppress Fu Yuanqing."

"It sounds like a tragedy." Xu Fei commented casually.

"It is indeed a tragedy." Hu Xuanfeng changed the subject: "But aren't you curious about this historical secret? What happened to make a saint's temperament change drastically and completely lose control?"

Xu Fei immediately sniffed out something from his words.

He asked: "Why, could it be that what you discussed earlier is related to the loss of control of the saint 600 years ago? Have you found any important clues?"

Hu Xuanfeng looked at Zhang Chang, and the old man would take up the conversation with satisfaction: "The entrance of [Endless Book] appeared only hundreds of years ago. But do you know that this 'hundreds of years' is How much is it?"

Xu Fei thought to himself, how do I know this.

But then he realized something: "Is it also 600 years ago?"

Zhang Chang glanced at him approvingly: "That's right, it was 600 years ago, and the time limit is very close. What's more, after our investigation, the entrance is not far from this entrance, which is the city guarded by the Fu Yuanqing family back then. And today’s Huangshi Village is said to be a new village built by the remaining civilians after the upheaval.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Xu Fei was really taken aback. He thought that the entrance of [Endless Book] was chosen at random, but he didn't expect it to have other meanings.

But having said that, even if there are amazing secrets hidden in it, it was after all 600 years ago. How do you plan to explore it?

Zhang Chang stroked his goatee and broke the news about a secret known to everyone present: "About three years ago, an earthquake occurred in the entire Baili River Valley. I don't know if it was affected by that earthquake. The Fu Yuanqing family that entered the ground moved closer to the ground again. The old man's potion ability is related to digging. When I passed by a few weeks ago, I found the entrance to the ruins of the saint family by chance!"

Hearing this, Xu Fei finally guessed something.

He said: "It seems that the ruins are very dangerous, and you are not enough to explore alone, so you want to ask us to help?"

This routine...why does it feel very familiar and suspicious!

"You are right. After all, it is the family of a saint. Even if it was buried underground by the out-of-control Fu Yuanqing, the whole family is still protected by a high-level monster and has not been too seriously damaged. There is no high-ranking and extraordinary family." Personality, it’s too dangerous to go down alone. After a little exploration and a preliminary understanding of the situation, I immediately withdrew. I plan to invite more extraordinary people to help and explore this ruin together!”

Chapter 409 Joint Exploration

"So that's the case, I already know the situation."

Xu Fei nodded, looked around at the six people present, and asked: "Everyone here, it seems that you have also decided to join the exploration?"

Seeing him looking at him, Wei Xiao, the third-order transcendent sitting on Hu Xuanfeng's left, took the lead and said, "The value of a lost saint's family site is astonishing. Random gains are of unimaginable value. Naturally, Wei Xiao This opportunity will not be missed.”

Among the six, Chu Hongxiu, the only female transcendent, also echoed: "The transcendent knowledge I prepared for [Endless Book] is the secret experience of my ancestors in a time-space turbulence, and it is said that it involves several high-ranking transcendents. But whether it will be recognized or not is really hard to say. Now that this kind of opportunity happens to happen, it is always right to make extra preparations."

The rest of Li Yan and Su Erhe didn't speak, but their expressions silently expressed their attitudes.

"In this case, I am also willing to join in the grand event."

But Xu Fei immediately made a turning point: "But there is one thing that needs to be clarified first - how will the proceeds found in the ruins of the Saint family be distributed?"

If this matter is not clarified in advance, nothing will be gained in the end. If something good is really obtained, conflicts and internal strife will break out almost ten to ten.

The old man Zhang Chang smiled slightly, and said: "We have discussed this matter before you came. If you discover extraordinary knowledge, everyone can make a copy. If you find a strange object or extraordinary resources, everyone can take turns to choose a copy. High-ranking transcendents have priority. If you are not satisfied with this, you can also choose to keep the opportunity to choose and skip your own order for the time being, but if you still don’t find a better item in the future, you must not regret it.”

With that said, he added a few more fragmentary rules.

At least it seems fair.

After pondering for a while, and finding no obvious loopholes, Xu Fei said, "This distribution method is very reasonable. I have no objections. Let's sign a contract together."

But Zhang Chang and Hu Xuanfeng shook their heads together.

"No need."

"You and I are both extraordinary and powerful. Ordinary talismans have limited binding power and won't have much effect."

The attitudes of the two were almost the same, and Wei Xiao and the others did not express any objection to this.

"That's not necessarily the case!" Xu Fei smiled slightly: "I have a sacred object bestowed by the elders here. It must be enough to witness the contract with its personality?"

"what?"

The six of them couldn't believe their ears.

Surprised and delighted, Hu Xuanfeng was the first to confirm: "Brother Zhao Yi, are you serious?"

"What's the benefit of lying to everyone?" As he said, Xu Fei used the cover of the fog to absorb the breath of the silver mirror as soon as he released it.

The unique aura of the sacred object is obviously different from ordinary high-level strange objects.Even if the average transcendents present had never eaten pork, they had seen pigs running, and they could more or less feel the extraordinaryness of the silver mirror.

Even if it is not a sacred object, it is enough to restrain the transcendent below the high position!

"That's great!"

Wei Xiao was overjoyed. He was only at the third level of strength, and he was not too powerful for holding strange objects. He was undoubtedly the bottom level among the six.In this exploration, he was the one who was most worried about the danger.Now that there are sacred objects witnessing the contract, almost no one can escape the backlash of violating the contract.

Now security is guaranteed!

"Oh my god, it's actually a legendary sacred object, this trip is not in vain!"

Li Yan has never seen what a sacred object looks like since he was born.It's the first time in the world that I can feel the breath at close range at this moment, so I can't help being very excited.

What Chu Hongxiu cared more about was the phrase "a holy object bestowed by the elders". It seemed that this handsome young man had a remarkable background, and he probably also came from a powerful family of saints.

Looking at Xu Fei's eyes, she immediately became a little more charming.

The old man Zhang Chang thumped in his heart. He never expected that a third-order transcendent who came in at the last moment would have such a big background.And he still looks like a stupefied young man, without any intention of hiding it, he just revealed the fact that he has a sacred object by his side.

Are you not afraid that if it is leaked, a certain high-ranking Chaofan will have evil intentions and directly lay hands on it?

The elders of the saint family are also big-hearted. He dared to give him holy objects for self-defense at the third level, and let him run around without worrying about accidents at all.

Although screaming secretly was not good, but at this time, he did not dare to object at all, otherwise it would immediately prove that he had a ghost in his heart.

I can only suppress my depression, and said with a smile: "Before, the old man was worried that the ruins of the Saint's family were too dangerous. Now it's all right, with Xiaoyou Zhao accompanying the holy relic, this exploration is probably all right."

Su Erhe, who had envy and jealousy in his eyes, curled his lips when he heard this.

Before taking the relic, use 'you' to address it.With the holy object, he became 'Xiaoyou Zhao' directly. This is really...

Of course, he only dared to slander these words in his heart, and it was impossible to really offend others by saying them.

After a moment.

Xu Fei pried the aura of the sacred object [Silver Mirror], and used it as a witness of the ceremony, so that the six people signed contracts one after another.

Under Wei Xiao's strong suggestion, Xu Fei also added a restriction not to attack each other in the original terms, otherwise the extraordinary spirituality would immediately lose control.

"It's stable now!"

Seeing that the contract turned into light and fell into everyone's body, the atmosphere in the teahouse was visibly warmed up.

Zhang Chang said: "It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day. I suggest that everyone set out to explore now, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Yes!"

"I have no opinion."

Several extraordinary people expressed their opinions one after another, and then looked at Xu Fei in unison.

After all, the other party should have just arrived at Huangshizhai, and may need to take a break.Coupled with the fact that the other party is carrying a sacred object and has a mysterious origin, it is natural for everyone to take care of his thoughts.

"No problem, I also think it's better sooner rather than later."

Being watched by six eyes at the same time, Xu Fei took his time and chose to support him.

"Then, let's meet at the gate of the village in an hour!" Zhang Chang made the final decision.

The six people got up separately, and used this time to make final preparations.

But Xu Fei had just arrived, and he hadn't found a place to stay, so naturally he had nowhere to go.Fortunately, the various services and facilities in Endless Teahouse are quite complete. Besides tea, some simple refreshments and a library are also provided.

In this library, there are a lot of rumored travel notes and novels about the land abandoned by the gods. In addition, there are many records related to the [Endless Book], and even the "experiences" left by many extraordinary people who have been here. Experience"-of course, most of them are experiences of failure.

This is also the reason why the cute boy who led the way brought him here after Xu Fei made a request earlier.

While eating tea, Xu Fei casually flipped through the books and essays in the library.Although I didn't see any profound extraordinary knowledge, I still gained a lot of valuable insights.

Before I knew it, half an hour passed.

Just after he put down the travel notes with only a few thousand words and scribbled handwriting, a book recorded the history of the predecessor of Huangshizhai, that is, the family of the sage Fu Yuanqing 600 years ago-【Secrets of Huangyuan】 , just caught his eyes.

Chapter 410 The Underground Ruins

"The secret of Huang Yuan?"

Seeing the faded handwriting and yellow pages, Xu Fei couldn't help being interested in the book, which was obviously aged, and pulled it out of the bookshelf.

The earliest records seem to go back to an era that had nothing to do with Fu Yuanqing, seven or eight hundred years ago.

Xu Fei read a few pages and found that they were of no value, so he began to flip through them quickly.

After a quick reading of quantum fluctuations, he found something of concern in the last dozen or so pages of the anecdote.

The History of Fu Yuanqing's Rise!

The situation recorded above is similar to what Zhang Chang and Hu Xuanfeng said before, but it is more detailed than the latter's introduction, and it also allows Xu Fei to have a more real understanding of this genius saint.

Judging from the contents of the book alone, Fu Yuanqing is an upright, kind-hearted transcendent, not at all like the madman who suppressed the entire family after losing control.In addition, the book also mentioned several potion abilities that he was famous for and a high-level monster that he obtained by accident.
