Qi Xiao glanced at Wang Kuncheng, who was still silent, "Does the head of the Wang family think this golden lark can find the remaining hundred fruits?" ”

"I can't guess what the beast thinks." Wang Kuncheng is a pun.

"You ......" Qi Xiao's breath stagnated, he snorted coldly and turned his face away, and his attention fell on the golden lark, his eyes full of yin owls.

It's a pity that the golden lark flew over the entire Ye family for half an hour, and its little wings were about to snap, but it didn't find anything.

Tong Jinghe had no choice but to call the lark back, and the patriarchs of the Ye family also ordered the rest of the disciples to go back to their rooms.

Everyone soon left, leaving Ye Hu alone to stand in place, looking at Ye Shan, who was pale and resolute, anxious.

"Ye Hu! Don't leave quickly. ”

The old man's voice sounded, and Ye Hu hurriedly said, "Sister......"

Ye Shan didn't seem to hear it, her eyelids didn't move, she stared straight at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Wait. These two women look like this, should they be sisters? Tong Jinghe looked at Ye Hu carefully, "Perhaps, the matter of Baiguo is inseparable from her." ”

Ye Hu's face turned pale, and he looked at Tong Jinghe and the others in horror, so nervous that he couldn't say a word.

"My sister has nothing to do with this matter, and I ask the elder of the clan to investigate." Ye Shan slammed her head on the ground and replied in a calm voice.

Wang Kuncheng also stepped forward and said with a smile at Tong Jinghe: "According to the Tong family master's tearing like this, the person who kneels down is a disciple of the Ye family, and he is also related to the elders of the big clan, so will a few clan elders also be involved?" ”

"W-How can this be the same?"

"Okay~" Not to be outdone, Qi Xiao stepped forward, looked at Wang Kuncheng, looked at the Ye family, and finally glanced at Tong Jinghe quietly.

"Now that the female disciple has admitted this matter, let's stop talking about other people, and let's see how to solve this matter now."

As soon as Qi Xiao's words fell, the scene was suddenly silent, several elders of the Ye family and Ye Yujin and others were all embarrassed, and Tong Jinghe was proud.

Ye Hesheng, who had been silent, persuaded Ye Hu: "If you don't leave, you will be punished with your sister." ”

Ye Hu bit his lip tightly. After hesitating and struggling for a while, he finally turned around and left the place ruthlessly.

From the beginning to the end, Ye Shan didn't glance at Ye Hu, and after hearing the other party's footsteps walking farther and farther. She was secretly relieved.

"Honestly, how did you get this hundred fruits?" Ye Hesheng stepped forward and asked.

Tong Jinghe sneered sarcastically, "Naturally, I stole the Tong family, could it be that I picked it up?" ”

Ye Shan raised her pale face and looked at Tong Jinghe calmly. "Dare to ask the master of the Tong family, where are your hundred fruits stored? Is it possible for a cultivator like me to come and go freely and take whatever he wants? ”

"Not bad!" The elder of the big clan echoed: "Please also ask the head of the Tong family to solve our doubts." To tell the truth, Ye Shan, this girl, is usually low-key and has a calm personality, we didn't know that she still had to wait for her kung fu, and with this cultivation, she could come and go freely in the Tong family. ”

"Hmph~ Even if she didn't steal it, it could be that someone else in the Ye family stole it and put it here for her!"

"It's not logical, who would work hard to steal something and put it on someone else who doesn't matter? Even if you want to hide it, should you find a proper place? Ye Hesheng interjected.

"You guess it. It's better to let her say it herself. Wang Kuncheng reminded.

As soon as his words fell, everyone turned their eyes to Ye Shan, who was kneeling on the ground. Ye Hesheng said to her with a pleasant face: "You will tell everyone in detail the ins and outs of this thing." ”

Ye Shan nodded, and slowly spoke--

"Three days ago, my sister and I went to visit Gaozu early in the morning. As for the reason--because when I helped Gao Zu lead the way, my words and deeds were a little reckless, for fear of offending my ancestors. So I specially brought some spirit fruits to make amends. Gao Zu was not angry, he also accepted my spirit fruit, and asked about some things about cultivation, and later saw that the time was not early, so we hurriedly left. When I came back, my sister went directly to the martial arts training ground. I went back to my room to get something. As a result, as soon as I entered the room, I found this bag of things on the table. At that time, I also wondered, thinking that someone had misplaced it, and I didn't see half a figure when I turned around outside. Later, when I opened it, I found that it was a hundred fruits, and I heard from others that drinking this soup with a hundred fruits was helpful for cultivation, so I wanted to hide it in private. Because I didn't know if someone else would come back and take it away, I didn't dare to use it, so I kept it on my body. I didn't tell my sister, for fear that she would accidentally say something, and it wasn't until today that I learned that this hundred fruits turned out to be the stolen treasure of the Tong family. The head of the family, several clan elders, Uncle Ye, I really haven't done anything that insults the Ye family, please be careful! ”

With that, she knocked her head three more times.

After listening to it, the others didn't feel anything inappropriate, even Tong Jing and himself couldn't find the slightest fault in Ye Shan's words, everything was so smooth.

"By the way, why didn't you see the Ye family's ancestor?" Qi Xiao asked with a smile.

The elder of the big clan explained lightly: "Gao Zu has gone out to practice. ”

When everyone heard this, the expression on their faces suddenly became very strange, what is there to be a little monk at the second level of Qi refining?

The matter was quickly revealed, and Wang Kuncheng said to everyone thoughtfully: "It seems that someone deliberately wants to provoke the contradiction between the Ye and Tong families. ”

Qi Xiao looked disdainful, "According to what the Wang family said, who would have done it?" And why? ”

"Naturally, there is a plan." Wang Kuncheng smiled disapprerovingly, and looked at Qi Xiao fixedly, "As for what he is plotting, why should the Qi City Lord pretend to be stupid?" ”

"What does the Wang family master mean by this?" Qi Xiao's volume rose sharply.

"You don't have to argue anymore." Ye Hesheng hurriedly stood between the two of them to play a round, "The ins and outs of this hundred fruits have been figured out, the Ye family has indeed not done such shameless things as stealing, and the head of the Tong family has also made a big fuss in the Ye family, I think this matter is better to stop, so as not to fall into the schemes of others." ”

For the Ye family, this thing is naturally the best result, but Tong Jinghe finally caught the handle of the Ye family, and mobilized the public to make such a big fuss, presumably at this time, the people watching the excitement outside have not completely dispersed, so how can he be willing?

"Ye Hesheng, you said it so lightly, just do it? My Tong family lost a few boxes of 10,000-year-old fruits, and it happened that I found them in your Ye family, even if it wasn't stolen by the female disciple in front of me. Your Ye family will not escape suspicion! ”

"Tong Jinghe! What do you mean? Ye Yujin angrily pointed at Tong Jinghe.

Tong Jinghe glanced at the other party contemptuously, "It seems that you Ye Yujin can't be the master here, right?" ”

"You! I am the head of the Ye family, I can't be the master? "Ye Yujin was so angry that he smoked!

Ye Hesheng and several patriarchs were waiting to persuade Ye Yujin, and Wang Kuncheng on the side spoke up.

"Why does the head of the Tong family bother to talk about him? The Ye family is the head of the Ye family or the head of the Ye ancestor. It's not our turn to put our beaks. Besides, if you are not afraid of your jokes, if the ancestor of the Wang family is out of the customs, I will have to follow his old man's orders, and I dare not have the slightest disobedience, is the Tong family different? ”

Wang Kuncheng's words alluded to Tong Jinghe's disrespect for his elders. This already involves the issue of morality and filial piety, which is a very serious accusation for a family head.

Tong Jinghe's face turned blue with anger, and he said angrily: "Wang Kuncheng! You're talking nonsense, you're ......."

"That's it!" Qi Xiao glared at him angrily, and then looked at Wang Kuncheng with unkind eyes, "Master Wang, this is a matter between the Ye family and the Tong family, we are just witnessing, and it is better for them to discuss and solve it themselves." ”

Wang Kuncheng smiled noncommittally.

"It's not early, or the head of the Tong family and the city lord of Qi will go to the council hall for a cup of tea first. How about we discuss this again? The elder of the big clan suggested to a few people.

"Listen to me."

So, the group plus Ye Shan, who was already kneeling and crumbling, went to the Ye family meeting hall together.

#

Ye Zi hurried overnight, and finally rushed back to Sifang City at dawn.

At this time, there were already a lot of people waiting at the city gate, and it seemed that they should all be people who went to Baicaotang. These people are not very high in cultivation, there are more men and fewer women, but they are all very young-looking.

Not a single night off. The leaves are also a little tired. Before the people of Baicaotang arrived, she hurriedly found a quiet place to cross her knees and breathe.

Not far in front of her, there were two girl-looking people, gathered together and talked excitedly.

"Xiaomei, why did you say that Baicaotang would recruit so many people this time?" The girl who spoke had a round face. Thick black eyebrows.

The girl who is called a little beautiful girl has thin eyebrows and a long face. She twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, shook her head and said, "I don't know." But luckily they have hired a lot of people this year, otherwise you and I might not have a chance. ”

"That's just as well." The round-faced girl pursed her lips and smiled, then took out a book from her arms, and said angrily: "This "Hundred Herbs" has spent all my savings, what a waste!" ”

Xiaomei took the "Hundred Herbs" in her hand. Flipping through it casually, he smiled disappreciatively, "What's the waste of this?" Entering the Baicaotang, plus the Baicaoji in your hand, learning while working, doesn't this just complement each other? ”

"But......" the round-faced girl pouted dissatisfiedly, "The Baicao Collection is a medicinal book compiled by the Baicaotang!" I heard that if you perform well, Baicaotang will reward a copy of "Baicao Collection", don't you say that my money is spent in vain? ”

"You haven't gone in yet, and you're thinking about the reward? You see that there are so many people here, only one or two can get this reward every year, not to mention how many experienced and diligent old pharmacists in it, how do you know that you can come out on top? ”

The round-faced girl snorted unconvinced: "Anyway, I just think I can do a good job." ”

"Okay, okay, you whisper......" Xiaomei looked around, lowered her voice and muttered to her, "Are you boasting like this?" Don't be ashamed, be careful when people laugh at you! ”

The round-faced girl was about to open her mouth to say something, but suddenly caught a glimpse of two familiar figures coming out of the city gate, and quickly silenced her.

The others also found out, and gathered towards the two of them, saluted respectfully and said, "I've seen my seniors." ”

"I've seen two seniors......"

Ye Zi, who heard the movement, hurriedly opened her eyes, it turned out to be the two middle-aged monks from the Baicao Hall who came out, she quickly ended her pranayama, got up and walked towards the crowd.

The middle-aged nun saw Ye Zi and smiled softly at her, but there was more alienation in her eyes. The middle-aged male cultivator swept the leaves expressionlessly, and then turned his gaze to the others.

Ye Zi obviously felt that the two seemed to dislike her, but they didn't know what the reason was. Then she quickly suppressed the suspicion in her heart and saluted the two respectfully.

The middle-aged male cultivator pointed to a clearing on the right side of the city gate and said loudly: "Everyone go over there and line up, and I'll count the number of people." ”

Everyone hurriedly walked towards the open space, standing shoulder to shoulder, their faces full of excitement, and even the leaves were infected with some joy.

After the middle-aged female cultivator counted the number of people, she found that there were still seventeen people who had not arrived, but at this time it was already past the hour.

"Let's go!"

The middle-aged male cultivator waved his hand. Offering a black broadsword, the black sword flashed with a faint blue light, flew into the air and quickly widened and expanded, and finally rose to a full thirty zhang long.

"Ahh Such a big flying sword! ”

Everyone was speechless in shock. Even the monks and mortals who passed by couldn't help but stop and watch.

Such a big flying sword! Ye Zi's heart is secretly tongued.

She had naturally seen flying swords, especially at the gates of this city, where she could often see monks with all kinds of flying swords passing overhead. It's a flying sword bigger than an airplane, but it's the first time she's seen it.

"This black sword...... Isn't it owned by the master of the Hundred Grass Hall? A passing monk asked quietly.

"Yes, I also heard that Hall Master Xing has a strange black sword. Not only is it sharpened like clay, but it is also a flying magic weapon that can carry many people. It was a monk next to him who spoke.

Immediately after, someone in the crowd let out another exclamation, "Hey, don't you see that middle-aged man is the Xing Hall Master of Baicao Hall?" ”

"Strange, isn't Baicaotang in Xingyue Valley? It's close to Yongning City, how can you come to Sifang City? ”

"You are stupid, look at these young boys and girls, they must be recruiting pharmacists!"

"Ah, I forgot if you didn't say it. It should be ......"

The two people in the Baicao Hall didn't pay attention to the boiling opinions of everyone at the city gate, and the middle-aged female cultivator asked the middle-aged male cultivator with some doubts: "Hall Master, don't you wait for others anymore?" ”

"The time has come, no waiting."

Sifang City was not close to the Star-Moon Valley, and even if he flew with all his might, it would take him a full twelve hours to fly. In addition, the night is not conducive to traveling, and they will not arrive until tomorrow evening when they set off at this time.

"Okay." The middle-aged female cultivator nodded helplessly, turned to look at Ye Zi and the others who had arrived, and said in a loud voice: "We will now set off for Xingyue Valley." This is the right hall master of our Baicao Hall, surnamed Xing, you can call him Xing Hall Master. I am one of the stewards of the medicine field, and my surname is Lin. You can just call me Steward Lin. ”

"Yes."

Everyone responded in unison, and their eyes also fell on the middle-aged male cultivator, with a look of worship and awe.

Everyone has heard of the name of the master of Xing Hall, not only does he possess a superb alchemy skill, but his cultivation has even reached the middle stage of Jindan, and he is one of the highest authorities in Baicao Hall.

As for why it is one of them. That's because Baicao Hall has two hall masters on the left and right, and Xing Haodong is the right hall master.

It turned out that he was the hall master of Baicao Hall, Ye Zi secretly scolded himself, and his eyes immediately fell on the other party. In the face of hundreds of various gazes, the middle-aged man's face did not change, and he jumped onto the giant sword with a majestic momentum, and shouted at the middle-aged female cultivator instead:

"Steward Lin, bring them all up."

"Okay." After speaking, she turned to look at everyone, "Those who know how to light up their bodies can jump on the black sword on their own and stand aside." The rest of you will form a second line, and I will send you up later. ”

Hearing this, everyone acted quickly, and from time to time someone raised his breath and jumped onto the black sword, Ye Zi didn't know how to light up, so he had to wait in line.

A quarter of an hour later, all the people who knew how to light up the body technique jumped on the flying sword, and there were still more than forty people lined up on the ground waiting for the flying sword.

Steward Lin held the waists of the two people at the front of the line, and with a slight push, the two of them flew towards the black sword as if they were stepping on auspicious clouds, and landed on the sword body after a while. Following Hall Master Xing's instructions, the two of them quickly stepped back and walked forward, their faces full of surprise and excitement.

The speed of the forest steward was very fast, and it didn't take long for Ye Zi's turn.

Ye Zi only felt a gentle force lift himself up, and his body was slammed lightly, and his feet left the ground.

Strangely, this feeling of floating in mid-air made her not panic and scared, but excited. Getting closer and closer to the black sword, the eyes of everyone on the sword also fell on her and the other person beside her. Soon, her feet touched the blade of the sword, and the feeling of weightlessness suddenly dissipated.

What a wonderful feeling......

"Get to the back."

Hearing Hall Master Xing's command, Ye Zi hurriedly came back to her senses and walked towards the crowd, and someone was pushed up from where she landed.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone stood on top of the huge black sword, and those who were late also arrived at the last moment, and more than a hundred people rode the black sword to the Star-Moon Valley.

Ye Hu at this end waited for a night and didn't wait for Ye Shan's return, and later inquired and found out that Ye Shan was taken away by Tong Jinghe, saying that he would be imprisoned until he found the remaining hundred fruits.

Ye Hu was in a hurry, he didn't care about cultivation, and searched for leaves all over the city all day long, but he didn't have any news for a whole month. (To be continued.) )
