The capital, in the courtyard of the Zhou family.

It was still early, but the yard was not quiet.

Although it was a winter morning, the greenery in the yard still had remnants of frost and snow.

But in the courtyard of the Zhou family, there are faint footsteps and words, but there is no end.

"Squeak~..........................."

The carved wooden door slowly opened, and a black auspicious cloud pattern boot walked slowly and steadily, and then the person straightened the high crown on his head and walked out slowly.

Dressed in a black and red robe, with a high crown and a belt decorated with dragons and tigers, it looks majestic and handsome.

"Senior Brother Zhou. ”

As soon as Zhou Yuanchang walked out of the door, he was slightly stunned when he heard this voice, turned his head and saw Ren Hanxiang, but he couldn't hide his joy between his eyebrows, and said in surprise.

"Why is my sister here?"

"It's nothing, I'll just come and see you. ”

Ren Hanxiang saw the surprise on Zhou Yuanchang's face, and there was really something wrong in her heart.

It's just that between these walks, there was a slight pain under his body, which can be regarded as a reminder to Ren Hanxiang that the man who has been with him for the rest of his life is not this polite Zhou Yuanchang.

It's that hippie smiling face, a dog stuff full of meat.

Thinking of Ye Xiaogu, Ren Hanxiang's heart was slightly settled, and his face was a little calmer.

Zhou Yuan often saw Ren Hanxiang, and he didn't seem to feel any different, and chatted with Ren Hanxiang for a while, almost delaying the festival.

When Ren Hanxiang and Zhou Yuan often met, in a small restaurant next to the street in the distance, a tall and thin man was drinking bean juice with his head down.

Raising his head and looking at the courtyard of the Zhou family in the distance, Ye Xiaogu couldn't see any emotion on his face.

This place is so familiar to Ye Xiaogu that as soon as Ye Xiaogu sees this courtyard, he will remember the scene when Bao'er came to the capital for the first time.

That night, Bao'er evoked a heavy snowfall, which was not finished until the day of the meeting.

Between thoughts, Ye Xiaogu tugged at the corners of his mouth to hide the indifference on his face.

After sending Ren Hanxiang away, Ye Xiaogu didn't stay long, and drove straight to another street.

Zhang Xiao's house, Zhang Xiao does not live often.

This little old man who likes to wear a suit and small round black sunglasses seems to have an unyielding pursuit of new things.

A well-known community for young people in Beijing, Huilongjiayuan, is where Zhang Xiao lives now.

It's not particularly luxurious, but there are more young people and it's more lively.

When Ye Xiaogu drove to Huilongjiayuan, according to the address given by Yan Que, he did not see Zhang Xiao.

The regular meeting of Tianmen was held today, and although Zhang Xiao is not the core figure in Tianmen, he is very close to the Zhou family, so he will naturally participate.

"Click~........................................"

Opening the door casually, Ye Xiaogu walked into Zhang Xiao's room and took a brief look.

The room is very clean, and the furniture seems to be the layout of the sample room, and at first glance it doesn't look like a permanent residence.

"Is it a self-disciplined person?"

A thought flashed, Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, closed the door casually, and looked around.

Sure enough, this room that I had lived in was so clean and tidy that it didn't look like someone had lived in it.

If Yan Que hadn't given this address, Ye Xiaogu really couldn't believe that there were people living in this room.

"This Zhang Xiao and Chen Yunsheng are two extremes, one is manic and irritable, greedy for alcohol, and the other is self-disciplined and calm, and has an extraordinary heart. ”

Ye Xiaogu thought secretly in his heart, and his eyes fell on a few cabinets in the bedroom.

Although Ye Xiaogu came to kill people this time, but when he entered this room, Ye Xiaogu was really a little curious, what was this Zhang Xiao doing on weekdays.

With a little curiosity, Ye Xiaogu opened a cabinet casually, looked at the contents inside, and frowned slightly for a while.

Jar.

Gray-black clay pot with yellow charms on it.

Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was not good in his heart, but he couldn't help but be curious for a while.

Stretching out his hand, Ye Xiaogu hadn't touched the yellow talisman on the crockpot, but there was a sound of door locks outside the door.

"Click~........................................"

As soon as the lock of the door was opened, the visitor had not yet walked in, but he spoke first.

"It's all trivial things, Brother Ye probably doesn't like it very much, so don't get dirty. ”

Hearing Zhang Xiao's voice, Ye Xiaogu originally wanted to reach out and take out the white mask of Tianmen, but when he heard this, he also walked out.

Zhang Xiao's appearance was the same as before, wearing a black suit, supporting his thin body.

Wearing small black round sunglasses, there is a vague sense of fashion pursued in the 80s.

"You know I'm coming?"

Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, looked at Zhang Xiao who closed the door casually, and asked curiously.

When Zhang Xiao heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he chuckled.

"Don't forget, the old man is a famous scholar in the capital. ”

The doubts on Ye Xiaogu's face decreased slightly, and there was nothing nervous about looking at Zhang Xiao.

Compared with Chen Yunsheng and Zhou Yuanchang, this Zhang Xiao and Zhou Guanglin are the two weakest among today's targets.

It seemed that he saw the contempt on Ye Xiaogu's face, and the corners of Zhang Xiao's mouth were slightly raised, but there was no lack of cold words between the words.

"It's normal for young people to have high spirits. But when you go out to see blood, you still hold your chin and look at people, you can't help but underestimate all the heroes in the world. ”

When Ye Xiaogu heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he chuckled.

"It seems that Old Man Zhang wants to take care of my junior, how many tricks do you want to take care of?"

Between the words, the arrogance on Ye Xiaogu's face not only did not converge by half a point, but became more and more superficial.

For a while, even Zhang Xiao, who was peaceful, couldn't help but feel angry, and he couldn't wait to kill Ye Xiaogu on the spot.

Merely...............................................

"As soon as you came out just now, I had at least twelve chances to kill you. ”

Zhang Xiao didn't make a move, just said lightly.

When Ye Xiaogu heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said provocatively.

"Oh, so I have to thank Mr. Zhang, why don't you try it now?"

As soon as these words came out, the anger in Zhang Xiao's heart really couldn't help it for a while.

It's just that thinking about the original hexagram, Zhang Xiao still held back this breath and said.

"You have a better life, and I am no match for you. Now that you have taken the initiative to come to the door, I also know that this disaster cannot be avoided, so I have come to discuss it with you. ”

Hearing this, Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, and asked subconsciously.

"What's the way to negotiate it?"

Between the words, in fact, Ye Xiaogu also deliberately provoked Zhang Xiao in order to make him mess up.

For such an old Jianghu, if it is really the experience of two people fighting calmly, then Ye Xiaogu has to admit it even if his strength is stronger than Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao didn't seem to be surprised by Ye Xiaogu's transformation at the moment, and said lightly.

"Feng Bao'er's matter, I didn't participate in it. I'm not the mastermind about other things related to you, so can you spare my life?"

As soon as Zhang Xiao said this, Ye Xiaogu's face was really a little surprised that he couldn't hide.

Although Zhang Xiao's strength is not strong, it is only because his reputation is in the divination phase, and no one has seen him make a move.

How can a person who really lives a nourishing life in this circle not have something.

Ye Xiaogu has refined hundreds of thousands of blood-colored essences, and his true yuan savings are comparable to those of the Great Achievers of the Dan Realm, and he even learned the Golden Light Mantra and Palm Thunder.

But even so, Ye Xiaogu actually didn't know the bottom of his heart when he faced Zhang Xiao, so he kept provoking and wanted to provoke him.

didn't expect this Zhang Xiao, he begged for mercy directly when he entered the door, Ye Xiaogu was really a little unexpected.

The surprise on Ye Xiaogu's face, Zhang Xiao naturally saw it, but said lightly at the moment.

"You don't have to doubt me, there are many factions in Tianmen, and I just followed the Zhou family by taking advantage of the situation. If you don't kill me, I will also tell you about other secrets in this world, even your family's Feng Bao'er. ”

Hearing Bao'er's name, Ye Xiaogu was actually a little moved in his heart.

If Zhang Xiao really had the intention not to get involved in this matter, Ye Xiaogu would really be lucky.

After hesitating, Ye Xiaogu didn't know why, he suddenly thought of the earthen pot in the cabinet just now, and asked casually for a while.

“.......................................... What's in those earthen pots in the cupboard?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiao raised his head and glanced at Ye Xiaogu, and he couldn't tell what Zhang Xiao's eyes were behind the sunglasses.

"As I said earlier, it's a small object. Brother Ye might as well leave this curiosity for after finishing today's business. ”

When Ye Xiaogu heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he pouted casually, and there seemed to be no reason to continue to ask about it.

At that moment, Ye Xiaogu looked at Zhang Xiao and said casually.

"It is said that divination and fortune telling is to guess the will of heaven, and it is not tolerated by heaven and earth, and it will be punished by heaven. But looking at the appearance of Old Man Zhang, he has been quite nourishing all these years. ”

"It's so accurate, and there's nothing going on, it seems that this so-called damnation is just a rumor. ”

When Ye Xiaogu said this, he was just casually speaking, but it seemed to sting Zhang Xiao.

It's just that Zhang Xiao's mouth opened and closed, and he vaguely seemed to have a strong refutation.

Ye Xiaogu didn't care, and said to himself.

"Didn't you tell me about Bao'er, who were the people who attacked Bao'er in the capital in the first place?"

When Zhang Xiao heard this, he seemed to have known that Ye Xiaogu would have such a question, and said lightly.

"Do you know the secret realm of the bereaved world?"

Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly and said casually.

"You know, I went there when I received the bounty. It seems to be a place left in the past. ”

"Yes, those places are indeed the world before the Apocalypse. At that time, the aura was sluggish, and many sects lived in seclusion to avoid robbery. In the end, these places were also sealed outside the world, and became the secret realm of the world. ”

Zhang Xiao looked at Ye Xiaogu and said lightly.

Ye Xiaogu's mind was not bad, and he vaguely thought of something.

In fact, Ye Xiaogu also had such doubts before.

Since there are secret realms left everywhere in this world, and even some demon beasts can survive in them, will it ........................................................................

"In the catastrophe of the end of the law, many sects declined. However, there are still many sects that take advantage of the catastrophe of the end of the law and the dissipation of spiritual energy, attack the same sect, annex the relics, and become the strongest force today. ”

Ye Xiaogu was thinking about such a possibility, but Zhang Xiao spoke first.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaogu raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked subconsciously.

"The strongest in the world?"

Zhang Xiao also seemed to know that Ye Xiaogu didn't know about these things, and opened his mouth to explain.

"At the time of the catastrophe at the end of the law, the aura was sluggish, and many sects were not connected. However, some sects seek to trap the aura, while others wantonly kill and clear other sects in advance. ”

"These forces, not only do they have the power they had before the end of the Fa Tribulation, but even because they slaughtered most of the cultivation realm, their current strength is no longer what you and I can imagine. ”

"Although Feng Bao'er is a peerless demon, the greed of those forces has never been satisfied, and he has never given up the intention of hunting these remaining demons. ”

"They control the Secret Realm of the Lost World, and they also control the major forces of the present world. ”

"Whether it is Tianmen or Longmen, they have been leaderless and scattered over the years. It's not that there are no people of insight, it's just that those forces don't want to form a new force. ”

After these words, Ye Xiaogu's face was stunned, but it seemed that the atmosphere between the two eased a lot.

Although Ye Xiaogu vaguely has such a conjecture.

After all, after seeing those relics of the secret realm, Ye Xiaogu was really a little puzzled.

If it is to prevent the aura from dissipating, then why are there so many demon beasts living freely inside?

You must know that these demon beasts actually consume not a small amount of spiritual energy.

And as far as Ye Xiaogu can see, the number of these relics secret realms is really not small, at least today's so-called Heavenly Gate, Longmen disciples go to practice, it shouldn't be a big problem.

“..................................... It turns out that there are still such secrets in this world. ”

Ye Xiaogu secretly sighed in his heart, and for a while he really wanted to meet those so-called great sects before the catastrophe of the end of the law.

It's just that when I think about it, I seem to think of Bao'er again.

Bao'er, as a peerless fox demon, listened to Wang Pei's meaning, and it wasn't a matter of a day or two for those sects to hunt Bao'er.

Even vaguely, there is a feeling of not giving up.

These sects are all forces that took the initiative to see blood and became kings in troubled times during the catastrophe of the end of the law in the past.

The decisive killing intent in it is naturally not convincing in one or two sentences.

If Ye Xiaogu wants to stand out for Bao'er, he doesn't have a little hard power, and it seems that he doesn't have the right to speak.

In his mind, Ye Xiaogu didn't notice that Zhang Xiao had already walked into the bedroom.

These sentences explained by Zhang Xiao are naturally novel to Ye Xiaogu, and they naturally accept Zhang Xiao a little invisibly.

.............................................................................................................................................................................................................. ......

in the bedroom.

Zhang Xiao looked at the crockpot in the cabinet, then at Ye Xiaogu's back, and said lightly.

"How have you thought about it, can we still do this business?"

When Ye Xiaogu heard this, he remembered that this was still Zhang Xiao's home.

At that moment, Ye Xiaogu also turned around and said casually.

"Old man Zhang doesn't make a move, in fact, I ..............................."

Before the words were finished, Ye Xiaogu looked at Zhang Xiao standing next to those earthen pots, but his heart sank slightly, and he said lightly.

"What do you mean, Old Man Zhang?"

When Zhang Xiao heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, smiled strangely, and said.

"I've waited for you for so long, and you haven't seen an answer. Naturally, I have to take the initiative, right?"

Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, but the Tang knife in his sleeve was also secretly loosened.

The smile on Zhang Xiao's face was not over, but the crockpot beside him flew up and attacked Ye Xiaogu directly!

Between the lightning and flint, the Tang knife in Ye Xiaogu's sleeve slipped down, and his backhand was a slash!

The cold light flashed, and the crockpot sealed with the yellow talisman cracked, but more than a dozen eyeballs connected to blood vessels rolled out!
