Before the two of them stepped into the store, a chubby middle-aged man greeted them, looking at the two with a smile in his small eyes, and greeted enthusiastically:

"The two of you are here, please come in. ”

Xu Xingkong smiled and nodded:

"Is there a private room?"

"Yes, both please. ”

The middle-aged man led the two through the lobby with seventy or eighty percent attendance, bypassing the screen on the side of the corner cabinet, and the two of them saw clearly, and they actually went outside, looking at this pattern, it should be the courtyard behind the hall, and then it should be the backyard.

Sure enough, there is a small pond in the yard, and you can see the palm-sized koi fish swimming leisurely in the pond, bypassing the pond and entering the wing room on the right side, the wing room is very spacious and very elegant.

"Sit down, I'll make you tea. ”

After a while, the middle-aged man came in with a teapot again, and while preparing tea, he asked Xu Xingkong about his surname and place of origin, and asked about dietary taboos, but he didn't take out the menu after that, Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng didn't ask, and soon the middle-aged man retreated and closed the door of the side room.

Xu Xingkong looked at it, smiled sideways and said to Lin Xiaofeng:

"The layout here has been around for some years, if Zhang Chaodong knew that people had been lurking under their noses for so many years, would he be very upset?"

The corner of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth hooked:

"You just gloat, in fact, this kind of thing is normal, our Pengcheng may have similar places, as long as they are patient and do not move, it is difficult to be discovered. ”

Xu Xingkong smiled, Xiao Lu would definitely not agree to this, Xiao Lu has scanned Pengcheng countless times day and night in order to exercise his tacit understanding with Lan Ling, if there are still spies who have not been discovered, then the ability is really extraordinary.

But Xu Xingkong didn't say this, although Lin Xiaofeng would not eat Xiaolu's vinegar because of this, but no matter how low Xu Xingkong's EQ was, he would not praise other girls in front of his wife, not to mention that this girl's relationship with himself was still so ambiguous.

"This house is probably a little older than what we see, and it always feels like there's a lot of air here. ”

Lin Xiaofeng heard Xu Xingkong say this, and also looked carefully, although the furnishings in the room looked simple and elegant, but obviously these furnishings are handicrafts and belong to newly created things, but the building itself does have a heavy taste, which is a special phenomenon that only buildings with historical heritage have.

In other words, that is, the house will more or less accumulate the desire of the occupants, these ancient architectural patterns and designs are very particular, the accumulation effect of the wish power is countless times stronger than that of modern buildings, plus the age is old enough, the accumulated wish power is enough, and then it will give people this kind of thick feeling, this phenomenon will appear in many ancient buildings, even ordinary people can feel it, let alone practitioners with a keen sense.

Of course, it is not surprising that this feeling will appear here, after all, the capital is a thousand-year-old capital, and some old buildings are also normal, but if the magic circle set up under this building and in the building structure is also ancient, this is somewhat interesting.

The two whispered to each other, and after a while, the middle-aged man knocked on the door and brought the dish with a few young waitresses, the dish didn't look special, nor was it a strange thing, just ordinary chicken, duck, fish and vegetable mushrooms, but each dish was very exquisite, absolutely full of color and flavor.

Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng ate and drank with confidence, seemingly completely forgetting that they were in the enemy's lair, and this enemy was probably still a demon who was proficient in spells or poison arts.

When Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng ate all the dishes, they just felt seven or eight points full, and the middle-aged man brought people in with a smile to clean up the table, re-clothed the tea, and then didn't say anything about paying the bill, turned around and went out again.

The two tasted the tea unhurriedly, and then put down the teacup in their hands, and there was a gentle knock on the door.

"The master's house is here, please come in. ”

Xu Xingkong greeted with a smile, and the two sat in their seats, looking at a burly man with short gray hair standing at the door.

"Chen Shu, a scattered person, has seen two distinguished guests, I don't know if the two of them are satisfied with my craftsmanship?"

Xu Xingkong smiled and nodded:

"Very good, some back-to-basics, Mr. Chen is also a member of the Daomen?"

Chen Shu smiled bitterly, turned around and closed the door, and slowly walked to the front of the two, but he had no intention of sitting down.

"Daomen? Sort of. ”

Xu Xingkong was about to ask why, but Lin Xiaofeng suddenly interjected:

"Your surname is Chen, the layout here is a bit like an old mansion rebuilt, as far as I know, the old house of the Chen family in the capital more than 100 years ago should be near here. ”

Chen Shu was stunned, then glanced at Lin Xiaofeng with admiration and said:

"Legend has it that Master Lin is well-read and strong, and it really lives up to its name, how many people still remember the Chen family in the capital?"

Lin Xiaofeng did not respond to Chen Shu's emotional words, and after saying that, Lin Xiaofeng stopped speaking, just looked at Chen Shu lightly, and played with the teacup in his hand with his fingers casually.

Xu Xingkong naturally took over the topic and said:

"The Chen family in the capital is really a line of Daomen, and it was migrated from Huaibei in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"Yes, our Chen family has some relationship with the Daomen Yuntai faction, but it has long been weak, and it gradually developed in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and flourished and declined in the last years of the Qing Dynasty."

Xu Xingkong nodded:

"There are not a few sect families that have declined during that time, and there are even many who have been extinct, and there are no eggs under the nest, but after a hundred years of Chinese gradually stabilized, the sect family gradually revived, why didn't the Chen family rise again?"

"Hmph... Why not, I'd like to know that too!"

Chen Shu's words were almost squeezed out between his teeth, obviously, he was not unaware of this question.

Xu Xingkong smiled faintly and said:

"So you have an enemy?"

"Enemy? That's right, enemy!"

"Looking at Mr. Chen's current actions, your enemy is an existence that you can't shake?

Chen Shu nodded calmly:

"That's right, Elder Xu really has a sharp eye, no wonder he found this place so quickly. ”

Xu Xingkong pulled the corners of his mouth:

"Then what is Mr. Chen going to do?"

Chen Shu looked at Xu Xingkong deeply, sighed helplessly, and said:

"What else can I do, the poison of the Nine Killings I carefully made has both of you calmly eaten, in terms of actual magic combat, I have almost no experience, my Chen family's inheritance has long been broken, Elder Xu must have seen it a long time ago, I learned witchcraft. ”

Xu Xingkong's fingers lightly tapped on the table, and a smile flashed in his eyes:

"It turns out that the compound poison hidden in each dish is called Nine Kills, and sure enough, the level of the name is about the same as mine, haha..."

Chen Shu was stunned when he heard this, he was a little speechless about the direction that Xu Xingkong was paying attention to, but as soon as Xu Xingkong said this, Chen Shu also seemed to feel that this broken name seemed to be a little sorry for such a powerful compound poison, no, in fact, it was not just a poison, but also a clever combination of spells and Gu arts, which was the pinnacle of the nine streams under the witch sect.

"This poison must be eaten in order to take effect, and with the different sequences, the time and effect of the poison attack are also different, this ingenious arrangement can confuse the detoxifier's thinking, not to mention that once this poison is like having life, it will change with the detoxification stimulation, and even the detoxification method will deepen the effect of the poison, to be honest, the poison I have seen should be the most in this way. ”

Chen Shu proudly raised his chin and said:

"Elder Xu has won the award, I only prepared one dose of this poison, and I was originally quite confident, but unfortunately it was easily solved by Elder Xu, can I ask Elder Xu how to solve it?"

Xu Xingkong chuckled and said:

"How do you say this, it should be said that the perspective is different, what you think is difficult or even incomprehensible, change the direction, in fact, it is very simple, the poison itself is actually still a substance, as long as it is a substance, it can be decomposed into a lower-level existence, no matter how powerful the poison is, it is nothing after it is decomposed. ”

Chen Shu was stunned, and after a while, he sighed and said:

"It's... How could it be!"

Xu Xingkong shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Times are advancing. ”

Chen Shu smiled bitterly, then shook his head and said:

"Is it the same with the Demon Seed?"

Xu Xingkong smiled, looked at Chen Shu playfully:

"Mr. Chen also has a twin brother, right? Concentric Psychic Gu, I remember that there is such a thing in witchcraft, and when we talk to each other, someone is listening to it thousands of miles away, right?"

Chen Shu's face was stunned, and then he laughed miserably:

"Elder Xu thinks too much, if only I had a twin brother, our Chen family doesn't have to die. ”

Xu Xingkong's eyes swept between Chen Shu's legs, that's right, this Chen Shu is an inhumane guy, it should be caused by trauma, or is it related to their Chen family's enemies?

Xu Xingkong shook his head:

"Aren't they twin brothers? Anyway, no matter what the relationship is, it's the same anyway, could it be that Mr. Chen thinks he can escape from me?"

Chen Shu smiled:

"Not to mention that there is no such person, even if I really have a concentric psychic Gu in my body, and another Gu worm is thousands of miles away, even if Elder Xu has the means to reach the heavens, what can he do to me?"

Xu Xingkong smiled weirdly and said:

"Mr. Chen, you seem to have forgotten, I just said, as long as you change the angle, many things that you think are unbelievable are actually very simple, do you really think that distance is a problem? I tell you this, in fact, I want to tell you that if you want to leave a queen for the Chen family, then it is better for you to give up the original plan. ”

Chen Shu was stunned for a moment, he was really a little unsure, although Xu Xingkong's words sounded a little incredible, but what if what Xu Xingkong said was true?

"Elder Xu, you know that this is impossible, if I cooperate with you, then the person I ask for protection will really die without a place to be buried, some things cannot be regretted if they are done, and there are some roads that cannot be turned back. ”

Xu Xing nodded with a relative:

"Understand, understand, just like I can't be an ordinary person again now, once I lose my strength, I'm afraid I will be wiped out by the enemy immediately. ”

Chen Shu twitched the corner of his mouth:

"Since Elder Xu is reluctant to elaborate on the matter of the Demon Seed, can you tell me how you found this place?"

Xu Xingkong smiled, raised his finger and pointed at Chen Shudao:

"Well, how about we exchange information?"

Chen Shu was stunned for a moment, then was silent for a while before he grinned:

"As you wish, then how does Elder Xu plan to exchange it?"
