The atmosphere of the three of them was indescribably harmonious, and before they knew it, it was already the second half of the night, and only the three of Zhiji were left in the barbecue restaurant, because of the effect of alcohol, Zhou Tong and Zhiji's faces were a little red, but because of their strong physique, it did not affect their cultivation.

"I haven't drunk alcohol and eaten meat for many years, and today I can be regarded as regaining the feeling of wandering the rivers and lakes back then. The Ninth Elder touched his beard with satisfaction and spoke.

"I believe you're a ghost, you're a bad old man, you look like you're all over the place, and you're even worse than the two of us when you let go. Tomoki said, choking on his face.

The old man smiled, but he was not angry, and said: "Drinking alcohol is a great pleasure in life? ”

The three of them swept away the last bottle of beer, the table was in a mess, and the old man's exquisite tunic was also stained with a lot of oil, and the beard and the corners of his mouth still retained cumin particles, which looked a little more approachable.

"It's over. Zhou Tong said very plainly.

It was this sentence that calmed down the lively atmosphere at once, and the three of them all stopped their respective movements, vigilantly guarding each other, like a lion fighting for hegemony on the grassland, waiting for the opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow.

"After drinking, have the two little friends forgotten that they still have something to do?" At this moment, the old man suddenly raised his sleeves and said, his eagle-like eyes staring at the two of them.

The person who came is not good, from the beginning when the old man appeared, Zhou Tong and the others realized that something was wrong, but since it was a wine table, there was nothing else, what about the enemy?

In fact, the identity of the old man, he had already seen through it, the Nine Elders of the Shadow Gate, their biggest enemy who fled this time, but ah, before there was no conflict, they were not enemies, and the most others were not enemies now.

And now, their short-lived friendship is coming to an end, and then, life and death are opposites.

"The biggest business now is to pay the bill, old man, you eat and drink the most, you pay half, and the two brothers are left to share equally. Zhiji said, even if the other party was the Ninth Elder of the Shadow Gate, he was unceremoniously.

The Ninth Elder was speechless, obviously not thinking about this situation, his face was embarrassed, and he said: "The old man has been in the world for many years, and naturally there is no such mundane thing as money on his body. ”

It's a matter of course to pay for dinner, even if he is the Nine Elders of the Shadow Gate, he can't be an exception, and besides, if the reputation of the Nine Elders of the Shadow Gate for eating barbecue without paying spreads, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of jokes?

"It's white, Huaxia pays attention to respecting the old and loving the young, I'll carry forward the spirit, even if this meal is what I invite you to eat, if there is still a chance, you have to pay back." Zhou Tong suddenly spoke, took out a dozen red old man's head banknotes from the space ring, and placed them on the table.

I don't know the specific value of this meal, but that's more than enough.

The three of them came out of the barbecue restaurant, and now there were only a few lights left in the originally bustling night market, and the ninth elder waved his sleeves and said, "It's all an acquaintance, and the two of you have invited me to eat again, and the life of that person and woman should be regarded as my reward for you." ”

He watched Zhou Tong's every move, including Zhou Tong's move to transfer An Rong, but in his opinion, it would be harmless to let go of An Rong, who only had to transform his strength.

"It's worth it for a meal. Tomoki said, smiling.

The three people who should have been facing each other in life and death were actually smiling at each other, the atmosphere was really a little weird, and the eyes of the Nine Elders shifted to Zhou Tong's body, and said: "You are very good, you are young, you already have the peak of Ming Jin, and you are about to break through the cultivation of the Human Dan, and your talent is superb." It's a pity that you chose the wrong path. ”

"The road is not at the end of the road, and how do you know that it is wrong. Zhou Tong said calmly, and the three of them walked side by side on the narrow path of the night market.

The Ninth Elder stroked his beard, sighed softly, and said: "Young man, even if you don't die in the heart of the Yellow River, for the sake of the face of the meal just now, the old man can give you a chance, as long as you swear not to do anything to the Shadow Gate in the future, and withdraw from this operation, I can guarantee that you will get out of the way, of course, and your little girlfriend." ”

Zhiji's figure trembled, but it was locked by the aura of the Nine Elders, and there was no way at all, it could only be like this.

"Tempting conditions, but not perfect. Zhou Tong said, his tone was flat, and he didn't seem to care.

The Ninth Elder paused and said, "How is it not perfect? Everything is back to the original place, wouldn't it be great that you can get away with your whole body and take your little girlfriend to live the life you want without incident?"

Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "Because there is one less person in the conditions you gave me." ”

Zhou Tong pointed at Zhiji, smiled slightly, and said, "If you want to take him, I may agree, sacrificing my companions in exchange for freedom, I can't do this kind of thing." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you have only known each other for two or three months, and you can still call them companions? This matter has nothing to do with you, you can completely stay out of it, so why bother to interfere again?"

Zhou Tong just shook his head, now they have walked out of the night market, surrounded by the neon of the city, but there are not many people on the road, Zhou Tong sighed and said: "I'm a person, I just have a problem, I like to meddle in things, I can't help it, it's a habit." ”

"Are you willing to risk your life?" said the Ninth Elder eagerly. seems to be very reluctant for Zhou Tong to intervene.

"What can I do if I don't want to? I'm on the thief ship, can I still stop?" Zhou Tong said, meeting Zhiji's eyes, and the two smiled at each other, seeing through each other's thoughts.

"I think I understood, I'll leave you with a whole corpse. The Nine Elders spoke calmly, stopped, and just looked at the two of them.

When these words were spoken, the short-term peace between the three of them was torn apart, as if the scene of toasting and drinking together in the barbecue restaurant just now was just a dream, and the temperament between the three suddenly became quick.

Tomoki clenched his fists and said nothing, he was already vigilantly preparing for the impending life-and-death crisis.

"But you don't have to be so nervous, this is not a suitable place to do it, I will not kill you here, those people from the National Africa Bureau will be unhappy, I have prepared a suitable place for you to bury your bones, I believe you will like it." The Ninth Elder coughed twice and said lightly, it seemed that the life and death of Zhou Tong and Zhiji had been firmly grasped by him.

Sensing the nervous mood of Zhou Tong and the others, the Ninth Elder smiled slightly, looking a little kind, looked at Zhou Tong and shook his head, and said, "Speaking of the National Africa Bureau, you two should be temporary workers, right? It's just a pity, temporary workers are not protected by the treaty, otherwise, it would really be a little troublesome for you to do it." ”

Zhou Tong was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect Zhiji to be a temporary worker of the National Africa Bureau. But if you think about it, you will understand, Zhiji knows so many inside stories about the National Africa Bureau, he should have been a little suspicious for a long time.

"Old man, do you have something to say?" Zhiji said without changing his face, and just walked to the intersection of a road, and the three of them simply sat on the stone pier on the side of the road.

The Ninth Elder seemed to be very confident, and even began to talk to Zhou Tong and them about something that was not nutritious, and said: "People, once you are old, you like to nag, you young people still understand the old words, just now I talked about Zhou Tong, as for Zhiji, since you are the remnant of the Demon Sect, why do you still want to take the lead? Wouldn't it be good to be your secular person obediently." ”

Zhiji snorted coldly: "I also want to hide it well, and take my identity as a light that I can't see until I die, but don't forget, who revealed my identity?"

He was originally well hidden, but he was murdered by a competitor by mistake, and in the end, he was even involved in the Shadow Gate, Tomoki said that he was a little confused now.

"Hey, it's said that the old man is confused, and I can't remember this kind of thing, but don't worry, I will send you to see your fellow sects, I didn't participate in the battle to destroy demons back then, and now the last person of the Purgatory Demon Sect died in my hands, will it be regarded as a kind of compensation given to me by God." "What should have been a gloomy and bloody topic was said by the Nine Elders in a very relaxed tone, which was really a little unacceptable.

"Not necessarily. Zhou Tong said.

The three of them just sat on the pier of the road, waiting for a passing taxi, Zhiji's mobile phone was scrapped in the last battle, and he hadn't had time to replace it, Zhou Tong's happened to be out of power, as for the ninth elder, he hadn't been in contact with new things in the outside world for many years, and the mobile phone naturally wouldn't have it.

"When will the car we are waiting for come over?" the Ninth Elder couldn't help but ask, tugging at his tunic suit.

Zhou Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is really a problem, the car we have to wait for, I'm afraid it depends on luck." ”

The three people who were supposed to fight to the death, but because of the problem of the means of transportation, stopped here, they knew very well that in the city, the fluctuation of their battle was too great, and they were afraid that it would affect many people.

Therefore, the Nine Elders had already arranged everything, just waiting for Zhou Tong and the others, and Zhou Tong and the others had no ability to resist at all, so they could only follow the actions of the Nine Elders and be restrained by him. It's just that the plan was perfect, except that I forgot to arrange a taxi.

"I don't know when the taxi will be available, we still have a long time, I still want to tell you good news, do you want to hear it?" the Ninth Elder said suddenly, with a little amusement.

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Tong said suddenly, with a bit of indifference in his eyes.

I'm afraid that there is really not much time left for them, and he must make some preparations.

The Ninth Elder played with the walnut in his hand, and he didn't know where he came from, and said indifferently: "You should be glad that I am the only one to intercept you tonight, as long as you get rid of me, you can escape for your life." ”

"It makes no difference if you say it or not. Jiki snorted, and there was a feeling that a child was angry.

Where is the strength of the Nine Elders, the great masters of the Didan realm, it is more than enough to deal with the two of them, if you want to bring other people, I am afraid it will be a delay, it is better to leave the Nine Elders alone.

The Ninth Elder just pouted and said, "I said, you know, this is the difference. ”

"Old man, you won. Zhiji had already given a thumbs up to the Nine Elders, he seemed to be a little drunk, and he behaved like a child.

The Ninth Elder didn't care, just observed the recent situation, looked at the taxi coming not far away, jumped up, and said, "Two, please cherish your last time, I'm afraid it's not much time for you." ”

After getting into the car, the driver did not lag into the atmosphere of the three of them, and said: "Oh, you are three generations out of the same house, right? Especially uncle, you are old and strong, and you are still coming out at such an age, can your body bear it?"

"We are not related by blood. Zhou Tong said.
