Among the crowd, an old man with a ruddy face stepped forward and slowly explained: "In Xia Bilan, I originally worked in the Taiji Palace, and in a few years, I will return to my hometown. Your Majesty, take pity on me for being old, so let me come over to take care of the Hou Ye's family affairs and be a housekeeper for the Hou Ye. ”

"These people are all selected by thousands of ghost golden sheep households, they are innocent and honest, and their hometown has lost relatives because of the drought, so they voluntarily come here to work. ”

"Do you want to pick and choose?"

The victims who had just become the people of the Flowing Frost Mansion thought they had a stable life. But as soon as Bi Lan said this, they immediately made their hearts tremble.

"No need. Shi Yuanji wanted to ask where the original subordinates had gone, but when he recalled Ouyang Lihua's fate, he still kept his mouth shut.

"Master Hou, there is another person, you need to see it. The Ghost Golden Sheep said a little mysteriously.

"Let's go. Shi Yuanji sighed silently.

The ghost golden sheep took Shi Yuanji and walked towards a side room with a plaque with the word tent.

"Master Hou, it's here. ”

Shi Yuanji sensed silently, and could only feel a weak breath. He hesitated for a moment, but walked cautiously inside.

In the tent room, abacus, account books, tables and chairs were placed in an orderly manner, and an old man was fiddling with abacus and account books with a frown, as if he was calculating the expenses of the Flowing Frost Mansion.

Shi Yuanji deliberately suppressed his footsteps and entered silently. The old man was so engrossed in checking the accounts that he didn't even notice that someone had entered the tent.

"Senior Hu, you're not dead?"

The old man raised his head, and when he saw Shi Yuanji, he smiled kindly, and then gave a salute: "Master Hou, welcome to Liushuang Mansion, in the future, this is your home." ”

"An Min announced that you committed suicide......" Shi Yuanji really didn't understand Hu Dan's behavior.

"I used to be Hu Dan, I am indeed dead, and now I am the tent of Liushuang Mansion, Shi Er. "Hu Danli is thoughtful and does not dare to slack off.

"Why? Wait, let me guess. Shi Yuanji covered his forehead, only feeling that his thoughts were slow. "This is a deal with Your Majesty, only then will Your Majesty not disrupt your family?"

"Master Hou, you have improved. Hu Dan said bluntly. "In addition, everything that the Hou Ye saw today was proposed by me and then agreed by His Majesty. ”

I really don't want this kind of progress, Shi Yuanji said depressedly.

"Okay, okay. "Shi Yuanji has already said several times today, okay, I'm almost tired of listening to it.

Hu Dan realized something, and persuaded with good words: "Master Hou, I know that you feel that you are being manipulated and are very tired. But from now on, you're going to have to make your own journey. ”

"There are a lot of things that you have to decide, and I hope you can do it yourself. ”

Shi Yuanji looked at Hu Dan unslowly: "Senior Hu Dan, you misunderstood, I am not dissatisfied because I was used as a pawn by you. ”

This was beyond Hu Dan's expectations, he didn't say a word, waiting for Shi Yuanji to speak.

"You let me see what happened to Ouyang Lihua, subdued Li Laiheng, and saw those victims kneeling in front of me, just to make me change. ”

Shi Yuanji became agitated and strode back and forth: "Just like Ding Yunzhi said, become ruthless, hard-hearted, and not so 'stupid'. ”

"But if I did harden my heart, would you still trust me as much as you do now?"

After listening to this, Hu Dan's face was a little entangled, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Senior Hu, I think you have to think about this problem. These words should reach His Majesty's ears tonight, and I think he should think about them as well. ”

After that, Shi Yuanji turned around and left the tent, and said as he walked: "That Li Laiheng lives here, I will indeed use him, but it will be different from the way you think." ”

Bi Lan, who was waiting outside, saw Shi Yuanji and hurriedly asked, "Master Hou, let me take you to the main room to have a look." ”

"No, I'm not staying here for a while. Shi Yuanji stepped under his feet, and he was about to walk out of the Flowing Frost Mansion in great strides. "You can rest assured that Your Majesty will not blame you. ”

When Bi Lan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

Li Laiheng, who was squatting on the side and looking at the sky boringly, saw this scene and immediately greeted him: "Master Hou, you slow down, I am not a powerful natural disaster master like you." ”

Shi Yuanji looked back at him: "What are you doing with me?"

"I'm your bodyguard, have you forgotten your own words? Li Laiheng said with a smile.

Shi Yuanji retorted unceremoniously: "You don't know how to break through Ouyang Xuan's defense line with the disaster victims, you are even more stupid!"

Li Laiheng smiled even more happily: "This time you are right, I am still stupid." You're a stupid master, I'm a stupid guard. ”

"Don't mess with you, I'll go back to the dormitory of Chengyun Pavilion, there is no place for you to sleep, you can stay here. Shi Yuanji didn't say a word and walked towards Chengyun Pavilion.

Li Laiheng looked at Shi Yuanji's figure that was gradually moving away, and solemnly bowed his hand to his back.

Shi Yuanji returned to Chengyun Pavilion and did not rest, but went directly into the basement of the Shouzang Pavilion.

He turned out all kinds of minerals used to refine Lei Qinggang and began to prepare for his trip to Hedong.

"The magic weapon made of Lei Qinggang is definitely more durable than bronze. But what kind of ritual should I make?"

Taking out the cracked bronze mirror from the seed bag, Shi Yuanji fell into deep thought.

"This artifact only allows me to better establish the connection between the Red Moon Divine Power and Tiankuiyu, and as my own control over the Red Moon improves, it will be useless. ”

"Then make it into a pendant, even if it's useless, it can be used as an ornament. ”

Thinking of this, he used his mana to levitate the mineral material in the air, and pinched the lightning bolt with both hands to hit the mineral material. After a while, a small ball of Lei Qinggang was refined.

Under the traction of an invisible force, this mass of thunder green steel gradually formed a thin chain in the shape of a ring and a small piece of disc with holes.

After they cooled, Shi Yuanji condensed mana at his fingertips and engraved dragon patterns on the discs.

"It's okay, it's not a ...... Too ugly. It wasn't until after the pendant was formed that Shi Yuanji realized that he didn't understand the beauty of the shape. However, the magic weapon has been completed, and he is too lazy to change it.

"Next, there is the mask that I promised to make for Your Majesty. Shi Yuanji turned out the silver ore in Yuanrang's inventory of ores, and was a little timid in his heart.

"I hope it's not too ugly, otherwise Your Majesty won't be able to wear it. But after all, it's a mask, so it's good to wear it comfortably, and there are no requirements for the shape. ”

Shi Yuanji imitated Dugu Xin's technique and tried to use the true meaning of Qingyan. The blue flames slowly coalesced in his hands, forming a ball of fire.

"No, this temperature is too low, how can it be possible to melt the silver ore and extract sterling silver?"

He extinguished the blue fireball and sighed silently: "It's still too difficult to crack the ability of the family heirloom for more than a hundred years. ”

Thinking of this, he still relied on his majestic mana to strike lightning and extract sterling silver. Then, with invisible power, the sterling silver was molded into a mask.

Before the mask cooled down, he put it on his face to test whether the shape was appropriate, and his body was invulnerable anyway.

After adjustments, Shi Yuanji was sure that the entire mask was suitable, so he began to depict the dragon pattern.

"In order to facilitate His Majesty's use, the dragon pattern is arranged to absorb the light of the red moon. Even if I don't anymore, this mask will work just by absorbing the light of the red moon. ”

With the silver mask completed, Shi Yuanji had everything ready. He put the mask in the seed bag, put on the pendant, and returned to the dormitory to continue the cultivation of the True Dragon Technique.

......

Ouyang Lihua took her family and walked slowly on the official road, and the destination was her hometown in Hexi.

It has been less than two years since she wore the phoenix crown before she fell back to the young lady of a large family. And Ouyang Xuan, the pillar of the family, has long since fallen, and the rest of the family has no one who can support the family business except her.

What made her even more ashamed was that the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had never had sex with her!

As soon as she thought of this, she was sad and could not be broken.

"Miss, there is a person standing in the way outside, saying that you are about to have a catastrophe, and he is here to relieve you. Outside the carriage, a subordinate tentatively reported.

The sad Ouyang Lihua was in a very bad mood, and when she heard the report from her subordinates, her pretty face began to become distorted, and her tone was a little vicious: "Where did you get the magic stick?"

"Yes. ”

Outside the carriage, there was the sound of a commotion, a noisy footstep, a lewd invective, and the dull sound of sticks hitting people. After a while, there was silence outside, but the carriage came to a sudden halt.

"What's going on? Aren't you long-sighted? How do you drive a car?"

Ouyang Lihua was taken away by the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny and rushed back to her hometown, and there was a cloud of ignorance in her heart with nowhere to vent. And the sudden stop of the carriage made her angry, and she just wanted to get out of the carriage and enforce the family law on the coachman.

"Bastard minion, can you drive!"

Before she could scold, the scene in front of her frightened her.

A young man with a wooden box on his back stood beside the carriage, his body exuding a blood-red aura.

The aura was terrifying and mysterious, and the subordinates of the Ouyang family were immersed in the aura, as if they were stupid, rolling their eyes, hanging their hands, and standing still.

"Are you...... Who?"

Rao is Ouyang Lihua is rude, and she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw this scene, so she had to ask in fear.

"It's disappointing to be so out of shape just to scare it. The young man's voice was filled with an air of eerie madness that made people shudder.

"If you hadn't met my lord's requirements, I wouldn't want to save people like you. ”

This young man was Jiang Renyun, who had escaped from the Chengyun Pavilion, and he gently pressed his horse with one hand and waved it casually with the other. The horse trembled, but under Jiang Renyun's coercion, it didn't dare to move.
