As the sun sets, the sunset covers most of the sky. The golden wisps of residual sun sprinkled on the ground, dyeing the continuous brick roofs in the gray alley into the appearance of rainbow carp scales. Wisps of cooking smoke also rose in the originally deserted gray alley, adding a bit of fireworks to this paradise.

Xiong Ba was wearing a white-washed hospital gown, squatting on the stone steps at the door of Qin Hunt's house with his legs crossed, his back against the tightly closed thick door panel, with a sad face, smoking a cigarette without a match, swallowing and spitting fog, his eyes staring at the constantly changing shapes of the fire clouds in the sky, his heart was full of thoughts, and he was extremely confused.

Qin Hunt's skills are indeed superb, Xiong Ba's strength dissipated from the anesthetic, and after waking up from the operating table, he didn't even realize that the operation was over for a while, until he saw the corpses of the two Gu worms and his cherished gallbladder demon pill, and then he suddenly realized.

After that, after Xiong Ba tentatively operated the demon power in his body, while determining that he had lost the demon pill and fallen into cultivation, he also found that this major operation that moved the internal organs did not cause any harm to his body, and even the operation of the demon power was still smooth as usual, as if he had never refined the demon pill.

Of course, the sequelae of the operation are not said to be absent, according to Qin Hunt's medical advice, Xiong Ba's digestive system has now lost the auxiliary function of the gallbladder, and the future diet needs to be vegetarian, and excessive alcohol and large meat foods will cause additional burdens on his stomach.

However, for Xiong Ba, who cherishes his life, it is better to fall into cultivation and be a vegetarian than to be killed by Gu worms.

After all, as long as you save your life, you can continue to cultivate, for monsters who have nothing to do to fight and kill, it is not uncommon for them to fall into cultivation because of injuries, and even Xiong Ba has heard that the deeds of some monks who fail to survive the tribulation and start over again are somewhat similar to human re-exams.

As for vegetarianism, it's not a big deal, for the monsters who can fast and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, eating is more often a joy of life than a necessity for survival, and Xiong Ba should experience the way of Buddha cultivation and abstinence.

The key question that bothers Xiong Ba is that what should he do in the future?

Although Xiong Ba really wanted to go back like this, catch Zhou Qingqing's harmful fox spirit, first circle and then fork, and force the mastermind behind the Ice and Fire Demon Gu to kill him, and then fight back, happy revenge. However, this idea is clearly not realistic enough.

After all, with Xiongba's strength after the decline, he may not be able to beat Zhou Qingqing if he goes head-to-head, not to mention the mastermind behind the family who has a deep family background and can take out the Liyang Fire Cicada and the Tianshan Ice Silkworm.

Even, maybe you don't need Zhou Qingqing to do it yourself, this vicious and cunning female fox, who has been with Xiong Ba for so many years, naturally knows his interpersonal relationships, as long as the news of Xiong Ba's declining strength is released to his enemies at that time, it is strange that those enemies do not take the opportunity to fall into the ground.

Thinking of this, Xiong Ba rubbed his sweaty and greasy hair irritably, turned his head and glanced at Hogg, who was arguing with Zhang Hao not far away, feeling guilty and angry.

Originally, Hogg wanted to pull Xiongba into the six doors, first do a temporary job or something, not to talk about any treatment, so that his life safety is guaranteed.

In order to survive, Xiong Ba even sold the demon pill that he had cultivated for many years, so naturally he would no longer bother with any dignity and face, and even considered that he would simply wash his name, maybe he could take revenge with the power of the six doors, but the problem came again.

Six Doors...... Strictly speaking, Zhang Hao, the person in charge of Six Doors in Ping'an City, did not agree.

The reason is very simple, Xiong Ba is not like Hogg, he has innocent lives on his hands, and he can't directly apply for any good citizen certificates, let alone be awarded public office by the six doors, and even, Zhang Hao also threatened to arrest Xiong Ba and return to the headquarters for trial, if he wants to atone for his crimes, it is estimated that he will have to be reformed through labor for one or two hundred years first.

It is precisely because of this time that Hogg forgot about his superiority and humility for the sake of his brother's righteousness, and he was bitter and unscrupulous, and he had a quarrel with his boss Zhang Hao, just to find a way out for his good brother.

To be honest, in Xiong Ba's eyes, Hogg was originally a relatively good friend of wine and meat, and it was common for the children of the rivers and lakes to act on the scene and call each other brothers, and I didn't see a few big guys take the so-called brotherly righteousness seriously.

Again, demon cultivators are also monks, cultivating and cultivating, seeking the word immortality after all, and if you want to cultivate to achieve positive results and seek immortality, you can't take feelings too seriously, indifference and selfishness are the necessary qualities of a successful monk.

A temperamental person like Hogg, who has self-destructed cultivation to mature his three younger brothers, is simply a rare animal among the monsters, and he generally can't achieve the Great Dao and can't live for too long.

Therefore, Xiong Ba has never taken Hogg too seriously, calling him brother on his lips, but in his heart he just treats Hogg as a joker.

However, when Xiong Ba was in trouble, he could still have a good brother like Hogg who would never abandon him, and the feeling in his heart was really warm.

Seeing that the dispute between the two seemed to be becoming more and more intense, Xiong Ba couldn't help but think: "Huh, this Zhang Hao doesn't seem to have any aura on his body, that is, a mortal, and he still wants to arrest me and go to prison?" Hey, even if Lao Tzu's demonic power is attenuated greatly, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the rotten ship has three catties of iron, so I just don't do it and slaughter this six-door eagle claw grandson......"

However, seeing Hogg's crumpled auxiliary police uniform, Xiong Ba's mind was a little hesitant, and then he thought: "Hey, Brother Hogg's heart is too hot, and he is too sincere to be suitable for mixing rivers and lakes." Now that I have finally cleared my identity, I don't have a bright future in the six doors, and my life is stable. If I resist arrest and kill the officials of the six gates today, it doesn't matter if I die in the world, I am afraid that it will affect the Hogg brothers......"

"Poof!"

only heard a muffled sound, but Xiong Ba saw that Hogg actually knelt down for Zhang Hao with a sad face, and the pitiful appearance of begging was so moved that Xiong Ba's tears were about to fall.

Finally, Xiong Ba made up his mind, he vigorously pinched the cigarette butt that was still burning into a ball, threw it aside, gradually raised his curved back, straightened up, and said resolutely: "Zhang Hao...... Pavilion chief, huh? I'm willing to go back to the six doors with you, and if you turn yourself in, I should be able to reduce my guilt as appropriate, right? ”

"Big brother! Don't! Hogg hurriedly stumbled up from the ground and shouted anxiously: "Big brother, don't be impulsive, if you really enter the six-door demon suppression prison, it will be a catastrophe!" ”

As he spoke, Hogg ran up to Xiong Ba again, forced a confident smile, patted his chest and introduced, "Big brother, you don't know yet, right?" This gray alley is the 'Valley of the Wicked' in the dark world, I don't know how many demons and monsters who can't get a good citizen certificate live in seclusion here, even if it's six doors, as long as you don't get out of the alley by Zhang Hao, he doesn't dare to take you directly! ”

"Hey! Hogg! Are you tired of working as a temporary worker? How can everything leak out! Zhang Hao jumped to his feet in anger, lowered his voice and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, you kid!" What the Valley of the Wicked, think too much! I just think that Qin Hunt is an old friend, and it's inconvenient to do anything in his house! Believe it or not, I'll whip you both to death on the spot! ”

"Phew! Pull it down! You have the ability to take away all the demons and monsters in the gray alley! Hogg also fought for his brother's righteousness, and he didn't care that Zhang Hao would find a back account with him, and said to Xiong Ba: "Big brother, let's go and beg Doctor Qin Hunt again, let you retire to the rivers and lakes and live in seclusion in this alley!" Don't worry about me, it's a big deal that I'll move in with you, when the time comes, our brothers will drink and play cards every day, how happy! ”

"Hogg! You kid has a kind! If you have the ability, you will hide in the gray alley and never come out for the rest of your life! Zhang Hao shook his head angrily, and could only helplessly put cruel words on his lips, but he didn't really take out the whip, and it seemed that he did have a little scruple about Gray Lane.

Facing Hogg's earnest and enthusiastic gaze, the trace of anger between Xiong Ba's eyebrows finally completely dissipated, at this moment, he suddenly had a sense of sublimation of enlightenment, he smiled and patted Hogg's shoulder, and then looked up at Zhang Hao, who was angry and angry, he has always been cold and selfish, and decided to experience the feeling of selflessness.

"Sorry, brother." Xiong Ba mischievously reached out and poked the root of Hogg's broken tooth, causing Hog to scream in pain.

Xiong Ba grinned and said with a relaxed face: "I still want to go back and find Zhou Qingqing for revenge." ”

After saying that, Xiong Ba pushed away the stunned Hogg, strode towards Zhang Hao, who was also surprised and inexplicable, and asked solemnly: "Can the criminals serving sentences in the Demon Suppression Prison still maintain their cultivation?" ”
