Sioux City.

It's still early, and the warmth of late autumn is sprinkled with a little warmth, which makes people feel quite comfortable for a while.

Even though it's almost noon, the bus is still a little crowded.

Among the group of old men and old ladies, a man with loose hair looked a little abrupt, wearing a black suit, and he looked presentable.

It's just that this hair hasn't been combed a few times, and even the face is mostly decadent, going out at this point in time, it's more like a young man who is forced to find a job.

Regardless of the gaze of others, Ye Xiaogu looked at the street scene outside the window but said little.

There are no thoughts or emotions between the minds.

In the morning, when he and Bao'er went to pick up the big and small Shuang'er, they happened to see Bai Feifei being sent back by a man with a somewhat feminine appearance, although there were no words, Ye Xiaogu also felt that Bai Feifei and the man had seen him yesterday.

"It's okay, anyway, it's going to be troublesome when the time comes, and you don't need others to worry about it if you lose it and die. ”

Ye Xiaogu was naturally not stupid, especially when he was called by Bao'er, watching Xu Xiaoman and Li Wenjie drink tea and chat with a bloody face, Ye Xiaogu already knew what Bao'er meant.

It's just that these are paired in pairs, and Ye Xiaogu really almost thought that Bao'er was the reincarnation of the matchmaker.

Bao'er just pulled away all the women around Ye Xiaogu one by one, especially afraid that Ye Xiaogu would turn around and look for them, and she also pulled them in pairs, which really took a lot of thought.

Only Ye Xiaogu is not too comfortable, Bao'er cleaned up all these flowers and plants, but she has never given Ye Xiaogu half affection, and now Ye Xiaogu has completely become a loner.

Regarding what Bao'er did, Ye Xiaogu couldn't say regret or disgust, just because of her, but she couldn't say what she was struggling with.

She has her own exquisiteness, and Ye Xiaogu can only bear it ignorantly.

"Osmanthus Park has arrived, the next stop ........."

Ye Xiaogu was in a daze, and when he was awake by chance, he happened to hear the sound of the newspaper stop on the bus.

"Master, next!"

Ye Xiaogu roared at the top of his throat and walked down quickly, still panicked for a while.

Ye Xiaogu didn't know what the difference was between the so-called Tianmen and the Dragon Gate, but it seemed that their common hobby was to set up a formation in the park.

I don't know if it's because it's too expensive, or because the housing prices in the city are too expensive.

It was almost noon, but few people went in the park, and many people came out.

Ye Xiaogu was wearing a black suit and casually took out a white mask from his pocket, put it on, and walked towards the park gate.

In the eyes of others, Ye Xiaogu's appearance was naturally a little abrupt, but what was even more surprising was that this person in a black suit and a white mask disappeared instantly after stepping into the park gate.

It also frightened a lot of old men and old ladies who came to walk, and since then, this osmanthus park has also become a place where many old men and old ladies talk about it.

Ye Xiaogu didn't care about the eyes of others, and as soon as he stepped into the gate of the park, the scene in front of him changed instantly, and his ears suddenly became much clearer.

The park gate behind him has disappeared and turned into an old blue-gray wall.

Ye Xiaogu raised his head and looked around, it seemed to be blue bricks and red tiles, low eaves, but it was an old street.

Ye Xiaogu was slightly startled in his heart, and almost thought that he had crossed over, but when Ye Xiaogu was in a daze, a person who was also wearing a black suit and a white mask walked by, and Ye Xiaogu was relieved.

Ye Xiaogu followed this person out of the alley slowly, and there were more people on the street, although there were also people wearing black suits and white masks, but more of them were still dressed ordinarily, mostly cloth clothes, and short sleeves.

There are also a lot of patterns in shoes, leather shoes, sports shoes, cloth shoes, and road shoes.

It is not strange that some people carry swords, or hold gourds, or even lead sheep and dogs.

Ye Xiaogu looked curiously, and at the same time followed the person wearing a white mask, and for a while he really felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge.

There are three sects and nine streams in this so-called dragon gate, and there are people, ghosts, demons and demons in the yin and yang worlds.

If you are a little more advanced, go into the store and hand it over to Longmen for consignment or buy a shop and sell it yourself.

Although these things were all explained by Bao'er in the morning, looking at Bao'er's extraordinarily attentive and cordial appearance, Ye Xiaogu was not half happy, but extremely uncomfortable.

Because Ye Xiaogu felt more and more that the people she saw in Bao'er's eyes and the things she thought of might never be herself.

Ye Xiaogu didn't listen carefully at the time, but at this moment, he really saw the tricks on the street and the flow of people coming and going, and he really felt very novel for a while.

Ye Xiaogu didn't know where the so-called trading shop was, he just followed the Tianmen disciples who were also wearing white masks, as for why, it could only be said that it was Ye Xiaogu's own bad taste.

Looking at it like this, the Tianmen disciples in front didn't seem to notice it, and walked straight into a small attic.

Ye Xiaogu hesitated for a moment, and also walked in.

This small attic looks like a hook and angle on the outside, the lights are colorful, and it is extraordinarily joyful, although it is only two stories high, and the façade is the size of three entrances, but the antique is still a little look.

Ye Xiaogu was looking forward to what he would see after entering, but after walking in, the scene in front of him changed, and it directly became a very modern place.

It resembles a bank hall with stainless steel chairs, four glass-separated counters in front of it, and a display showing queue numbers.

When Ye Xiaogu saw this scene, he really lost his glasses for a while, and he turned around and wanted to leave.

It's just that just as Ye Xiaogu was about to leave, a Tianmen disciple wearing a black suit and a white mask walked towards Ye Xiaogu head-on.

Under the mask, Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, this hall was wide, and he didn't stand in the way, but the person on the other side seemed to be coming for him.

According to Bao'er, this white mask can hide the face and aura, and no one should recognize him.

Between his thoughts, Ye Xiaogu frowned and looked at this person, this person really walked directly in front of Ye Xiaogu under Ye Xiaogu's gaze, patted Ye Xiaogu's shoulder casually, and left directly.

Ye Xiaogu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned to look at the man.

It's just that the man was wearing a black suit, and he couldn't see any physical features, and walked out of the hall in a blink of an eye.

Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, and then he didn't think much about it, he subconsciously wanted to leave, but he didn't expect to take two steps, but suddenly two people wearing black masks appeared in front of Ye Xiaogu.

“.........................”

Ye Xiaogu's footsteps slowed down, but he didn't make a sound.

"You forgot to take the guide and the scroll. ”

Just when Ye Xiaogu was extremely nervous, one of the people wearing a black mask reached out and took out a black bag and handed it to Ye Xiaogu.

Ye Xiaogu was slightly stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him, but under the cover of this mask, Ye Xiaogu couldn't see their appearance and the expressions on their faces clearly.

"A small gift for saving money?"

Ye Xiaogu took the black bag casually, and a thought flashed in his heart.

"I don't have any money saved, is it better than banking?"

Ye Xiaogu thought secretly, and didn't think much about it, after all, Bao'er said that wearing this black suit and wearing a white mask is even a disciple of Tianmen, although the Dragon Gate is mixed, but no one will anger the name of Tianmen in vain.

What's more, this seems to be the territory of Heaven's Gate.

Between his thoughts, Ye Xiaogu casually opened the bag, and there was a piece of white jade and a scroll in it.

Ye Xiaogu picked up the jade with his hand, and was about to ask a few words, but he didn't expect that the man in the black mask took out a bronze knife coin from Ye Xiaogu's pocket.

"!!"

Ye Xiaogu's face changed suddenly, and his heart suddenly became alert, but at this time, the jade in his hand flashed with a spiritual light, and Ye Xiaogu disappeared in place.

If it was ordinary Ye Xiaogu who came to this Tianmen, it might not be nothing, but the day before, Bao'er was angry and destroyed an advanced assessment venue, killing hundreds of Tianmen disciples, although they were all low-level disciples, but Tianmen was not a place to talk about in the end.

This account will have to be repaid after all.

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

In the boundless desert, the yellow sand rises with gusts of wind, but fades away in an instant.

The sky was clear and there were no clouds, and the sun was shining brightly overhead, as if it didn't mean to get tired at all.

Ye Xiaogu looked at the scroll made of unknown fabric in his hand with a dull expression, and there were few words written in gold on a black background.

The word was crooked, and Ye Xiaogu didn't understand it after reading it for a long time.

This character is similar to the talisman of drawing talismans, if a little Taoist aunt like Xu Xiaoman comes, maybe she can still figure it out, Ye Xiaogu doesn't have this ability yet.

Between thoughts, Ye Xiaogu casually put the scroll in his pocket, pursed his dry lips, and looked at the sand dunes in the distance.

This change was sudden, Ye Xiaogu originally planned to buy the things that Bao'er explained, but he didn't expect to be blocked by someone all of a sudden, and he was handed a road guide to be sent here.

Ye Xiaogu didn't know if it was the two people wearing black masks from Tianmen, or the white-faced person who patted his shoulder and stuffed his bronze knife coin into him.

It's just that there's no need to think about it so much now.

I can't read this scroll, and I can't use it, so it's a bit desperate to be stuck here.

“............. Let me out, brother. My wife and children are waiting for me on the hot kang. ”

Ye Xiaogu pinched the recording in his pocket, secretly said a sentence in his heart, squinted his eyes and walked slowly into the distance.

Although it is impossible to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, Ye Xiaogu has at least two legs.

As the saying goes, the road is the way out.

Ye Xiaogu walked so self-consciously, and he didn't know how long he had walked, but he didn't have a head.

Everything in front of me became a little dazed, even my feet began to weaken, and my breathing became sluggish.......

Ye Xiaogu frowned slightly, and he barely cheered up in his heart.

"You shouldn't have left in such a hurry, the position of the sun, the direction of the dunes, or even the feeling of the wind blowing...... If you go on like this, it's just a waste of physical strength to send me to death, I can't just die like this, the Ninth Curse Seal is connected to my life, and I can't harm her anymore. ”

Between the secret thoughts in his heart, Ye Xiaogu raised his head, stabilized his body, slowed down his breath, and quietly looked around.

The endless yellow sand, the occasional sudden wind, the scorching sun, and even the reptiles and beasts are not at all, and they are completely lifeless.

Ye Xiaogu looked at it for a while, but his heart became heavier and heavier.

The dunes in the yellow sand are not crescent-shaped, but round, which means that the wind here has no direction, but rises straight from the ground and scatters in place.

The sun in this desert is the same, Ye Xiaogu has been walking for half an hour, at least three or five quarters of an hour, but the sun has always been shining, and there has been no change.

“............ This is not an ordinary desert, but a special place made by the Heavenly Gate like the forest of the advanced assessment, and it seems that there is no way out here. There must be some condition or requirement that I need to do. ”

A thought arose in his heart, Ye Xiaogu stood in place, frowning slightly, his mouth and tongue were dry, and even his body felt a little weak and weak.

"It won't last long, we have to find a way to ......."

A thought flashed, and a flash of inspiration moved in Ye Xiaogu's mind, and the thunder light on his right arm suddenly moved.

The blue arcs were constantly intertwined and staggered, gathering in Ye Xiaogu's palm, and then gathered under the fist band, and was directly thrown out by Ye Xiaogu.

"Boom !!"

"If you don't come to me, I'll come to you!!"

Ye Xiaogu secretly shouted in his heart, raised his hand and hit another ball of thunder, and threw it towards the sand dunes in the distance.

"Boom !!"

After the two thunder balls, Ye Xiaogu also bent down slightly, waiting for something in the dark to appear.

These two thunder balls can be regarded as the limit of Ye Xiaogu's barely able to retain his strength, if he really unscrupulously draws out the thunder balls, Ye Xiaogu doesn't know how long he can last in such a hot desert.

Wait, wait patiently.

If things in the shadows don't appear, then Ye Xiaogu will definitely lose this duel.

“........................”

In the unspeakable silence, what Ye Xiaogu was looking forward to did not appear.

In addition to the vast yellow sand around, only the sun above his head still accompanied Ye Xiaogu so loyally.

The temperature hasn't risen, but it's been hot.

Ye Xiaogu's mouth was no longer even simply dry, but vaguely dry, and even a slight smell of blood gushed out.

It's too hot........ Ye Xiaogu hadn't fainted yet, but he already felt extremely unbearable.

This temperature is not too high, but it seems to pass directly through Ye Xiaogu's skin and flesh, and directly into Ye Xiaogu's heart.

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

"Heartfire?"

"Yes, Heart Refining Flame. ”

The room is not spacious, there is no desk, just an antique table of eight immortals, a few long benches, just brushed with tung oil, vaguely still a little look.

An old man stood with his hands in his hands, looked out the door, and said casually.

The other middle-aged man frowned slightly, sitting on the bench, his face could not hide his confusion.

"Why did you send him there?"

The old man looked into the distance lightly, but he didn't look back.

"Do you really think that Feng Bao'er just put a Ninth World Curse on that kid? She cherished him as if she were her life, how could she let him be alone....... Even if you do it yourself, not only will it not be effective, but it will provoke a lot of sao. ”

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and subconsciously stretched out his finger and tapped on the table.

"What do you mean?"

"Hands-on nature can't really be hands-on. But since Feng Bao'er let that kid be so flamboyant, he still had to give some admonition. Feng Bao'er asked him to come to my Tianmen, and my Tianmen naturally welcomed him, not only to greet him, but also to entertain the good students, Feng Bao'er naturally had nothing to say. ”

The old man said lightly, but there was no emotion between the words.

"I have arranged for him to go to that place according to your wishes, and once I ask him in the future, it can be said that the kid does not understand the world and accepts the high-level bounty privately.......... But why send him there if he won't let him die?"

When the middle-aged man spoke, there were many doubts on his face.

The power of Tianmen is huge, and naturally there are many secret treasures.

Among them, in the yellow sand that Ye Xiaogu went to this time, there was actually a treasure of Tianmen.

Heart Refining Flame.

It stands to reason that if you really want to teach Ye Xiaogu a lesson, you can choose a random place, or even just find a few dead soldiers to do it.

However, at the moment, the old man ordered Ye Xiaogu to go to the place where the Supreme Treasure Refining Heart Flame was hidden, which still made the middle-aged man a little confused for a while.

"Elm Head!"

The old man pretended to look at the scenery indifferently for most of the day, and saw that the middle-aged man kept asking questions, and at this moment he couldn't help but turn around, and angrily knocked his fingers on the middle-aged man's head.

The middle-aged man snapped his fingers, and he didn't dare to cry out for a while, so he could only suffer it silently.

"You really want to call a few people to kill him, Feng Bao'er has the ability to track you down, not to mention what do you think Feng Bao'er let that kid wear my Tianmen's clothes three or four times to swagger? She just wants that kid to come to the door and ask for this Heart Refining Flame!"

"That kid cultivated Zhengyang Lei Gang, but the qi and blood did not gather, the yin pole was prosperous and the yang qi was weak. Lei Gang is full of wind and fire, that kid is born without this fire, so naturally he can't do anything......"

Having said this, the middle-aged man plucked up his courage for a while and glanced up at the old man.

Before he spoke, the incomprehension in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed, and then he flicked his fingers again.

"The Ninth World Curse Seal!!That kid and Feng Bao'er are destined to live together, I will give him the Heart Refining Flame to see if he can catch it! That Heart Refining Flame has been there for almost a few hundred years, the sages of the past generations have no such ability, what ability does that waste that Lei Gang can't cultivate have the ability to trigger the Heart Refining Flame?!

"When the time comes, that kid can't stand it, Feng Bao'er has to come to the door to apologize in person!"

The old man finished speaking in a hurry, without even looking at the middle-aged man, and left angrily with his hands behind his back.

It makes middle-aged people a little embarrassed.

“......... What if I do take it?"

The middle-aged man covered his forehead, and the thought still came to his mind.
