"Don't say it yet!"

Tong Jinghe scolded angrily, secretly observed Qi Xiao's expression, and saw that the other party's expression had eased, and he was quietly relieved in his heart.

"I went to the Hundred Demon Forest in the east a few days ago, and there was something strange there." Wan Peng replied cautiously, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face, "The demon beasts on the ebony cliff seem to have been frightened by something, and they ran down the mountain one after another, and they scared me at that time, thinking that the beast tide was there!" ”

After speaking, Wan Peng smiled embarrassedly.

The beast tide in Sifang City has always been launched from the Wangqiu Canyon, and with these low-level demon beasts around Sifang City, they can't set off a large-scale beast tide at all.

Tong Jinghe glanced at Wan Peng angrily, and then looked at Qi Xiao with a respectful expression, "City Lord, why don't we go to Ebony Cliff first?" ”

Qi Xiao glanced at the two of them coldly, and without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the sword in the direction of the ebony cliff. When Tong Jinghe saw it, he hurriedly followed with Edgeworth.

Wan Peng saw that the two of them didn't mean to bring themselves, so he had to call out his big turtle with a sad face and hang it behind with a swaying face.

The sky was already bright, and Wang Kuncheng and Fan Fuan had just arrived at the Birdling Cliff after a night of hurrying.

"It's down here." Fan Fuan pointed to a swarthy hole under the cliff and said.

Wang Kuncheng carefully looked at the surrounding environment, stared at the entrance of the cave for a long time, and then said with doubt: "This place doesn't look like a place in the blessed land of the cave, and the surrounding aura is too thin. ”

When Fan Fuan heard this, he looked at his surroundings suspiciously, and was speechless for a while.

Accompanying the two of them was Huang Li, Huang Li's cultivation was the lowest, and it took the two of them to join forces to keep up.

Huang Li saw the expressions of the two, and said with a smile: "Isn't it precisely because of this that no one has discovered that there is another mystery underground!" ”

When Wang Kuncheng and Fan Fuan heard this, they were stunned, and they looked at Huang Li in unison.

"At this time, you are smart again."

"Hehe, it's all good for Brother Cheng's guidance." Huang Li was busy patting his ass.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's go down and have a look."

Wang Kuncheng said as he looked back at the back again, and the other two groups of people couldn't even see the slightest trace, so he frowned slightly, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Fan Yijing and Fan Yiquan at the bottom of the cave were cultivating, and they all opened their eyes when they heard movement.

"Second brother, are they the head of the family?" Fan Yiquan looked at Fan Yijing with a panicked expression.

Seeing Fan Yiquan's panickedness, Fan Yijing couldn't help but express relief, "Don't worry, the head of the family will no longer take that day's events to heart." Right now, we have been here for several days, without leaking half of the news, without credit or hard work. ”

Hearing this, Fan Yiquan's face was a little better, and he was about to say something more, when Wang Kuncheng and Fan Fuan had already appeared at Yongdaokou.

The two hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Family master, Wang family master!" ”

"Yes." Wang Kuncheng looked at the two of them for a moment, and quickly looked away, seriously observing the empty cave.

The cave was large, the walls were smooth, but it was empty, there was nothing.

Wang Kunmin couldn't help but close his eyes, scattered all the spiritual sense on his body, and carefully felt every inch of air in the cave.

After a full quarter of an hour, Wang Kuncheng retracted his spiritual sense and opened his eyes.

Fan Fuan and Wan Peng all looked at Wang Kuncheng's back, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

"There's a powerful prohibition in this cave, or an enchantment."

Wang Kuncheng turned around and looked at everyone behind him with blazing eyes.

"It is said to be forbidden, but it bears traces of psychedelic formations; It's said to be an enchantment, but it's far less powerful than an enchantment. If it was really an enchantment, it would be impossible to detect and get traces with my Jindan stage cultivation. ”

When Fan Fuan heard this, his face was half happy and half worried, and he didn't speak for a while.

And Huang Li and Fan Yijing looked at each other, for them, the prohibition and the enchantment were almost as powerful, and they couldn't break it anyway.

"That ......" After a moment, Fan Fuan said hesitantly.

"Let's go up and wait for the others first. Huang Li stayed down and guarded the cave together. Wang Kuncheng commanded as he turned around and walked into the corridor.

"Hey, hey!" Huang Li replied in a loud voice.

Although Huang Li is not familiar with the world, he is also self-aware, knowing his own catties, he happily found a place to sit down.

Seeing that Fan Yijing and the two were still standing there stiffly, he couldn't help but smile, "Sit down, sit down!" They'll be there in a while. ”

When Fan Yijing and Fan Yiquan heard this, they looked at each other, and Fan Yiquan listened to Fan Yijing.

"Sit down." Fan Yijing nodded and took the lead in sitting cross-legged.

"Oh, you two have been guarding this cave for days, aren't you?" Huang Li looked at the two with a smile on his face.

"It's fine."

Fan Yijing replied with a cold expression, while Fan Yiquan glanced at Huang Li with a look of contempt, his face full of ridicule.

Everyone in Sifang City knows Huang Li. Since the other party took over the position of head of the family, he has been either drinking or visiting the Qinglou all day long. Monks like Fan Yijing and Fan Yiquan sneered at each other's greed for luxury and pleasure.

Huang Li saw that the two of them didn't want to talk to him, and he didn't care, so he turned his head and looked at the cave with a smile, his eyes were rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Fan Yijing and the two re-entered cultivation.

Wang Kuncheng walked to the edge of the cave, but did not step out, but imposed a transparent prohibition to cover himself and Fan Fuan.

"If it's just a ban, there's nothing to make a fuss about. Perhaps, it was some hermit master who retreated here. Our current energy needs to be put elsewhere, you know? Wang Kuncheng looked sideways at Fan Fuan and said indifferently.

"But ......"

Wang Kuncheng's gaze suddenly became sharp, "Right now, what is the most important, do you need me to say it again?" ”

"Yes, I understand." Fan Fuan hurriedly lowered his head and responded.

"When they come, let them take a look, and we'll go back." Wang Kuncheng waved his hand to remove the ban and strode out.

After Wang Kuncheng's figure disappeared into the cave, Fan Fuan raised his head, his eyes were unwilling, and his face was full of deep helplessness.

Tong Meiqiu's bedroom.

Tong Meiqiu had just finished combing her hair, and she looked sideways from the window and saw that Bu Qi was already waiting in the courtyard in neat clothes, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Alright."

Tong Meiqiu stretched out her hand to block the face towel handed by the maid, got up and walked out the door.

"The name Bu Qi is not good, I will call you Ah Qi in the future."

Tong Meiqiu's face was glowing with a radiant glow, and she walked in front of Bu Qi with a smile, and said with her head tilted slightly. Immediately, realizing that he was a head and a half shorter than the other party, he couldn't help frowning.

"Come with me to the room first."

Tong Meiqiu turned around and walked out of the courtyard with a calm expression, the two maids hurriedly followed, Bu Qi frowned and hesitated for a moment, but slowly followed.

The house is in the west side courtyard, except for the three open stove rooms in the main courtyard, the other two sides are full of firewood and black charcoal wings.

Zhou Zijin was reclining on the Teng chair at this time, crossing Erlang's legs, basking in the sun leisurely, while calling his subordinates.

"The charcoal in the west wing was all moved out, dried in the sun, and went to the tide." Zhou Zijin took a sip of the teacup and laughed lazily.

"This charcoal is damp, it's like a life with a disease, but it's useless, tsk!"

As soon as Tong Meiqiu entered the courtyard gate, she saw Zhou Zijin drinking tea and laughing and teasing, and a sneer suddenly slipped on his face.

"Ah, the new steward is really laid-back!"

Zhou Zijin looked back and found a handsome cardamom girl standing at the gate of the courtyard, wearing a pink gauze long skirt, with a jewel falling on her forehead, and two handsome maids standing behind her.

"Hello Miss."

When Zhou Zijin saw the jewel on the other party's forehead, he immediately understood the identity of the other party, and lazily got up and saluted.

In the entire Tong family, only Tong Meiqiu's forehead was hung with a jewel. And this orb is not only a valuable headdress, but also a medium-grade defensive magic weapon, which can block the full force of the monks below the Jindan stage to attack three times.

Seeing this, the other people who were busy in the courtyard also stopped what they were doing and knelt on the ground to salute them.

"Hello Miss."

"Get up." Tong Meiqiu glanced at the people in the courtyard lightly, and walked straight to Zhou Zijin.

Zhou Zijin looked at Tong Meiqiu who was standing in front of him with a smile, and said: "If the eldest lady has any orders, just pass it on, why bother to run this trip in person, there are charcoal chips everywhere in the room, which stains the eldest lady's dress." ”

Tong Meiqiu was annoyed to find that the other party was as tall as Bu Qi, and she had to raise her head when she talked to the other party, and she couldn't help but feel angry.

"Hmph."

Tong Meiqiu glanced at the other party fiercely, glanced sideways at the Teng chair next to her, her eyes lit up, and she stepped up with her feet.

Zhou Zijin looked at the other party's movements curiously, and smiled without saying a word.

After Tong Meiqiu stood still, she found that she was now a head taller than the other party, so she nodded with satisfaction.

"Did you arrange the charcoal that I sent to my mother last night?"

"Exactly."

"Do you know what my mother is used for?" Tong Meiqiu looked at Zhou Zijin's smiling face coldly, and felt a little depressed.

When did the housekeeper look so good-looking?

"I heard someone report that it was stewed fruit soup." Zhou Zijin was stunned and thought for a moment before replying.

"Since you know that it is stewed fruit soup, you didn't send Nan charcoal, but cypress charcoal?" Tong Meiqiu suddenly asked loudly with anger.

Zhou Zijin blinked his eyes and looked at Tong Meiqiu innocently.

Of course, he knew that it was cypress charcoal that was being delivered. One pound of Nan charcoal costs a spirit stone, and one hundred pounds of cypress charcoal is a spirit stone.

"Humph! Don't you know that the tonic effect of using nanmu charcoal for stewing hundred fruit soup can be increased tenfold, while the nourishing effect of cypress charcoal is doubled? Tong Meiqiu glared at Zhou Zijin angrily.

"Ah...... So that's it! I also thought that it would be too wasteful to use Nan charcoal, so I specially sent cypress charcoal. Thanks to the eldest lady who specially told me, the little one I was suddenly opened. ”

Zhou Zijin hurriedly bowed to Tong Meiqiu, and praised sincerely with a face.

"Hmph. I will spare you this time, and next time, I will tell Uncle Wu to deduct your wages severely! Tong Meiqiu saw that the other party's attitude of admitting her mistakes was sincere, and most of the anger in her heart disappeared.

Tong Meiqiu finished speaking, and Tingting hired someone to leave.

Bu Qi didn't enter the courtyard, but the moment he turned to leave, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.

After Tong Meiqiu and his party left, a wicked smile rose at the corner of Zhou Zijin's mouth.

"Take the chair and burn it."

"Yes."

Ye Zi and Ouyang Xiao were already heading towards Sifang City at this time.

After a night's rest, Xiaobai's injuries were completely healed. Ye Zi was amazed, and couldn't help but guess the identity of the white-bearded old man.

"Xiao, let me ask you, who will be called Shangjun?"

Ouyang Xiao frowned and thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know." Then he quickly added, "You can go to the city and ask again." ”

"Oh."

Ye Zi was disappointed, so he had to swallow the question first and solve it later in the future.

"Xiaobai, let's go!"
