The intersection of Xunyang Street and Hengluo Street, which runs through the north and south of Ningxiao City and the east and west.

Wei Lai stood in front of the Hanxing Monument, and he looked up at the flickering words on the Hanxing Monument.

It was a name that represented the young generation of leaders in Ningzhou, Wei Lai's eyes carefully wandered from top to bottom on the Nahan Star Monument, and from time to time he would stop at a certain place, or his brows were slightly furrowed, or the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was thinking and measuring something.

He stood like this for nearly an hour before he withdrew his gaze. Then he looked back at the crowded street, the intersection was bustling, and the flow of people would continue until late at night, but Wei Lai keenly captured the moment he looked back, several figures flashed into the crowd at that time.

He was well aware of this situation and was not surprised. Instead, he smiled slightly, and then his toes jerked to the ground, and his figure ran towards the same crowd without warning at that moment.

Those who were hidden in the crowd and finally covered their breath tightened, and then hurriedly urged the spiritual power in their bodies one after another, and used their means to chase the direction in which the boy disappeared.

......

Since he opened the second divine gate in Gutong City, Wei Lai has rarely had the opportunity to exert his cultivation with all his strength, even when he fought against Song Douyuan of the Tianque Realm, because of the other party's strange method, at that time, in order to find an opportunity to break the enemy, Wei Lai's offensive was relatively restrained, but at this moment, he signaled to urge the spiritual power in his body, and shuttled through the crowded streets of Ningxiao City with all his might.

Eighty-one spiritual platforms burning with golden spiritual flames, and the spiritual platforms burning with strange black spiritual flames in the center, these two were connected, and they continuously supplied Wei Lai with strength. Even if there was no way to extract the power from the old snake's body for his own use, Wei Lai still couldn't help but have the illusion that the power in his body seemed to be endless—the spiritual power in his body was really too majestic, so majestic that with the methods he mastered, he couldn't even use all these powers and turn them into killing moves.

Wei Lai's body was as flexible as a rabbit, and he shuttled back and forth in the streets and alleys for nearly an hour before Wei Lai stopped in a remote and silent alley.

The young man frowned, the expression on his face was not depressed, after he came out of Ning'an Street, he noticed that he was followed by many spies, but at this moment in Ningxiao City, Wei Lai did not have any unseen secrets - or those unseen secrets were not something that these spies could find. Therefore, Wei Lai didn't care about the existence of those spies, but the other party was extremely persistent, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, even if he was separated from Ah Cheng and wandered around Ningxiao City for so long, the other party never had the slightest intention of retreating. Wei Lai wanted to get rid of these spies on a whim, this was a trivial matter, but-

"Your Excellency has been following me for several hours, since you care so much, it is better to come out and meet me, if there is any problem, you ask in person, maybe I will tell you in person, and you will save you from chasing me. Wei Lai looked back at the empty alley behind him at that time, and said loudly towards that place - this hour's wild running, Wei Lai almost ran back and forth around the streets and alleys of Ningxiao City, and the dozens of spies behind him also lost their targets under his wild running, to be precise, half an hour ago, those spies were thrown away by him. There was only one person, like a dogskin plaster, Wei Lai tried his best, but the other party never kept a distance from him, no matter whether he accelerated and slowed down, or penetrated into alleys and long streets, the distance between the other party and him never changed.

After trying for half an hour, Wei Lai finally realized that the other party's cultivation was far above him, and Wei Lai, who had figured this out, also put away his thoughts of self-inflicted humiliation, and simply stopped and shouted behind him.

But as soon as he spoke, there was silence in the empty alley, and no one or any voice responded to Wei Lai.

Wei Lai's brows furrowed a little deeper, he knew very well that the other party would definitely be able to hear his words, but if the other party made up his mind not to show up, Wei Lai would have no way to deal with the other party, and if the other party had been following him, being stared at in the dark by such a guy with unknown friends and enemies, it would not be a very good experience for anyone.

Just when Wei Lai thought about this, his face became more and more gloomy.

"I'm curious how long else can you run like this. A lazy voice suddenly sounded from behind Wei Lai.

Wei Lai's heart trembled when he heard this, he was very sure that the owner of this voice was the guy who had been following him in this Ningxiao City for a full hour before, but just before a few breaths, this guy's breath was still behind him, and when he stopped and turned back for a few breaths, the other party came to the other side unconsciously, and he didn't realize it. With the other party's ability to conceal his qi, Wei Lai secretly felt that if it wasn't for the other party's deliberate release of his own qi, he wouldn't even be able to notice that he was still following such a terrifying guy behind him.

He hurriedly looked behind him, but saw that there, a man dressed in a blue brocade robe and a rather flamboyant blue velvet robe was walking towards him from not far away.

The man didn't look very old, he was in his early thirties, everything on his face was taken care of by him, his whole face was as white as jade, most women were probably ashamed of themselves compared to him, and the black hair was also meticulously tied up by him, and strung up with a hosta that seemed to be of great value. Yesterday, there was indeed a little snow in Ningxiao City, but it was not big, and before early morning, the snow had melted, and the weather was indeed a lot colder, but no matter how you think about it, you shouldn't be able to put on such a wide velvet robe.

What's more, as a dark disc that should be carefully hidden from himself, it seems quite inappropriate to dress up and dress up like this.

Of course, Wei Lai didn't dare to be a little contemptuous because of such a strange board as the other party, but became more and more vigilant. He subconsciously took a step backwards, and the qi in his body was secretly urged by him, although he had ten thousand reasons to believe that the other party would not dare to do anything to him in this Ningxiao City, but in line with the principle of carefully sailing the ship of ten thousand years, the spiritual power around Wei Lai's body had been urged by him to the extreme at that time.

The man in the velvet robe didn't seem to feel the hostility of Wei Lai at all, he took care of himself and walked towards Wei Lai, and when he felt the qi generated by Wei Lai's mobilization of spiritual power, he raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "Seven years ago, the Nine Lotus Golden Temple, the second-ranked Divine Sect in the north, finally found the reincarnated Buddha in the territory of the Jin Kingdom in the eastern part of the north after more than twenty years of searching. ”

"That Buddha is known as the first holy son in the northern realm for thousands of years, and I had the privilege of meeting him in my early years, when he was only thirteen years old and cultivated to the second realm. ”

"At that time, when he broke through the realm and arrived at the Three Realms, he urged all the spiritual power in his body, and the aura emanating from his body at that time seemed to be quite similar to the qi emitted by you at this moment. Could it be that you secretly learned the tantric mastery of the Nine Lotus Golden Temple?"

Where could Wei Lai understand this man's casual nonsense, he frowned, temporarily stopped his retreat, but looked at the man's gaze was still vigilant: "Your Excellency's secret saucer? What is the purpose, if you say it bluntly, if you talk about him like this, I really don't know how to respond." ”

"I see that you and the prince of Nalaoshzi also have the widow of the Marquis of Chu, and you are talking with the truth, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a river, why did you become clumsy when you came to me?" The man stopped only a few steps away from Wei Lai, and he asked with a squint of his eyes and a little teasing.

When Wei Lai heard this, his heart jumped, didn't the man's words mean that his secret conversation with the prince and Ah Cheng had been listened to by the man?

Although there is not much truth to be said about what they say, it is terrifying to be heard by an outsider in such a way that just thinking about it.

"Children just can't hold their breath, and I can't blame me for this. Your grandfather had to invite me to eat in the Mingyu Building, but the room in the Mingyu Building was too poorly soundproofed, so I just accidentally put my ear on the wall, and accidentally urged the method of listening, which listened to the conversation between you and the prince. Seeing that Wei Lai's face was sick, the man waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile. Looking at the posture of taking it for granted, it seems that there is no guilt in the slightest for not eavesdropping, but a look of course.

Wei Lai laughed angrily: "So you were sent by Jiang Huanshui to spy on me?"

"Little guy, people, it's good to have faith, but thinking very highly of yourself is the beginning of self-containment. The man squinted his eyes and smiled, "You told the widow of the Marquis of Chu that the Ning, Xiao, and Xu families are the gate valves of Ningzhou, which is true, but not all of them are true." ”

"The largest gate valve in Ningzhou is the Jiang family. ”

"To be precise, it's him Jiang Huanshui. ”

"You don't want to treat this guy as a harmless old man just because he is obedient to you. Your grandfather's control over Ningzhou is far above the imperial power, and all the things he wants to know in Ningzhou will not be able to hide from his ears at all, where do you need me to spy on you? Some people are anxious to show the old man's desk where you have been every day, what you have eaten, and even go to the toilet several times in the middle of the night. The man said this, suddenly raising his neck. "Besides, the price of asking me to make a dark disc is not something your grandfather who slammed the door was willing to give. ”

Wei Lai was a little helpless about this man's self-talk, not to mention that the other party's cultivation was far beyond his own, Wei Lai had no way to force the other party to say something, so he could only try to find a way to ask for some useful information as much as possible.

At that time, he asked in a deep voice: "The seniors are worth so much, they should have a lot of prestige in the rivers and lakes, can you tell the juniors the names of the seniors?"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. The man waved his hand, and the wide velvet robe shook with his movements, and his neck rose a little higher, like a proud peacock.

"In the Tiangang Mountain of Chudi in the north, there are two and a half sword immortals. ”

"In Xia Bucai, it is the ...... who is known as Maung Bi Pan An, Debi Confucius and Meng, Wu Ke Destroys the Heavens, and Zhi Ke covers the earth."

......

"Alas!" Cao Tongyun, who had taken a sip of sake, suddenly sighed.

"Wang. The yellow dog squatting beside him drooped his head and whimpered.

"Senior, what's going on?" Long Xiu looked at the old man squatting in front of the door, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked.

"It's a long story. Cao Tongyun sighed, squinting his eyes and glancing at Long Xiu as he spoke, one hand slowly stretched out, and his five fingers opened and contracted slightly.

Long Xiu was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then he came to his senses, and hurriedly turned around and picked up a wine jar from Sun Daren's arms, who was holding several wine jars, and put it in Cao Tongyun's hands.

Cao Tongyun was almost impatient at that time to report the wine jar to his side, and then tore open the seal on the wine jar, stepped forward to smell it, and exclaimed in his mouth: "Good wine!"

After that, no matter how everyone reacted, he raised his head and hugged the wine jar and drank it.

Seeing this situation, Sun Daren couldn't help frowning, whether it was in Wupan City or the original Huanglong Village, Sun Daren had no chance to meet the old man in front of him, for him, Cao Tongyun was naturally an extremely strange existence, and since he just saw this old man, Long Xiu, who had always been very arrogant, suddenly seemed to have changed his temperament, and his attitude towards him was extremely courteous, and even because the other party casually wanted to drink, he encouraged Sun Daren to go to the White Horse Academy outside the White Horse Academy to use the "hard-earned money" earned by Wei Lai, whom they swore to cherish yesterday , bought Cao Tongyun several jars of wine.

Originally, I was thinking of discussing with the student of the White Horse Academy named Yu Xuan'er to see if I could change the teaching for them, but I was a little confused by the series of methods of dragon embroidery. At this moment, seeing that the old man was just drinking vigorously, and he looked like he was cheating and drinking, Sun Daren's heart couldn't help but be angry.

But when he had just put down the wine jar in his hand and stepped forward to expose Cao Tongyun's conspiracy, Long Xiu turned his head and glared at him fiercely at that time.

Sun Daren was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, shrunk his head, and could only retreat.

"Whew!" At this time, Cao Tongyun, who had drunk happily, finally put down the wine jar in his hand, he reached out and wiped his wine-stained beard, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his mouth.

Long Xiu turned his head and glared at Sun Daren at that time, warning this guy not to mess around, and then hurriedly stepped forward and asked earnestly: "Senior, what's going on?"

Cao Tongyun glanced at Long Xiu sideways, sighed again, and then spoke.

"Alas. ”

"The old man was ordered by the sect to come to Yandi, one of them is naturally for the upcoming Hanxing Conference, but in addition to this matter, there is another important matter. ”

"I want to find one of my disciples in Tiangang Mountain. ”

When Cao Tongyun said this, when he saw the girl next to him, his eyes lit up, he rolled his eyes, and he burped unconsciously in his mouth, and then said, "What do you think! It's not you." ”

When Long Xiu heard this, his face darkened, and he lowered his head.

But soon the girl adjusted her mood, looked up and asked, "Who is that?"

Cao Tongyun's face sank again, and his eyes fell on the rusty sword behind Long Xiu: " Since a great war against southern Xinjiang a hundred years ago, most of the thirty-six sword immortals in Tiangang Mountain have fallen, and more than half of the thirty-six divine swords have also been scattered. ”

"In short, it was after the great war that year, Tiangang Mountain's talents withered, and they fell out of the ranks of the Northern Divine Sect, and the disciples in the sect have wandered around to find some scattered divine swords over the years, and there are also some amazing people in the door, which reluctantly pushed Tiangang Mountain into the ranks of the Divine Sect again. ”

Hearing this, Sun Daren, who was still full of thought that this old man was a liar, trembled in his heart, no matter how stupid he was, he also reacted at this time, this old guy turned out to be a big man from Tiangang Mountain, how could he still be a little dissatisfied at this moment, and Long Xiu and Liu Qingyan stared at the old man with a curious face, wanting to hear some "secret news of the rivers and lakes" from the old man's mouth.

But the old man who said this suddenly showed indignation, he stretched out his hand and smashed the ground in front of him very angrily, the yellow dog under him was quite spiritual, and he even drooped his head at that time, and whimpered.

"Tiangang Mountain finally survived the most difficult time, with two and a half sword immortals in charge, but those guys found some reasons one by one and ran out, and they didn't return to the mountain for several years, a few days ago I received news that one of the guys appeared in this Ningxiao City, I came to look for him but was put on the spot by the guy, saying that he invited me to Mingyulou to drink, but halfway I took advantage of my drunkenness to take my money bag! I, Cao Tongyun, am also a well-known figure in the north, but I was blocked in that building by a group of hairy boys, and in the end, I had to let Old Man Xu come to catch me, so I still have to perform in this broken school hall to pay off my debts!" Cao Tongyun said this, his upper and lower lips trembled, his eyes were faintly red, and he looked like an old widow who was guarding herself like a jade for dozens of feet, and suddenly was wronged by someone who ruined her innocence.

I have to say that this posture is somewhat unbearable, but Sun Daren and the others can't help but smile and comfort the old man.

"Senior, who is the person you are looking for?" you name it, let's help you figure it out!" Long Xiu was the first to react, and after coughing, he said with a straight face.

"Tiangang Sword Immortal is two and a half, referring to three people, two of them are the Great Sage who pushed open the Eight Gates, and one is stopped in the Seven Realms, what I want to find is the guy who has been in the Seven Realms for many years. The old man whispered through gritted teeth.

"That's the half-fall. Sun Daren took over the conversation and said casually.

But who knew that when these words came out, Cao Tongyun glared at Sun Daren fiercely, and then he said quietly.

"Two great sages who pushed open the eight gates, one person is half a sword immortal. ”

"The rest of the guy who stopped in the Seven Realms is counted as one and a half. ”

"It's called the Northern Sword Species...... The seventh day of the first month. ”
