Chapter 43: A Night Visit
Before I knew it, more than a week had passed since the end of the Demon Eradication Conference Trials. During this time, in addition to his daily cultivation, Huo Xiu regularly went to Mu Lao to change his medicine.
The daily tasks of the students of Baicao Garden, as Mu Lao said, do not need to do it at all. This also saved Huo Xiu a lot of time to cultivate, and his mastery of the Xuanyin Sutra became more and more proficient, and his strength increased a lot compared to before.
Huo Xiu seized the title of the first person in the lower house, but it brought him a lot of trouble.
During this time, more than a dozen martial artists who had been cultivating in the Great Perfection Realm of the Qi Control Realm for many years came to provoke, they were not qualified to participate in the Demon Eradication Conference selection competition, and Huo Xiu's strength was only heard about, and they did not see it with their own eyes.
A kid in the middle of the Qi Control Realm took away the title of the first person in the lower court, and these martial artists were very hot-eyed, and naturally wanted to challenge it.
Huo Xiu didn't want to waste too much time on these mediocre people, so he simply refused one by one under the pretext that he had not recovered from a serious injury, but it also caused a lot of criticism.
Huo Xiu had no choice but to wrap his left arm tightly, although there was no major problem for a long time, he still made a look of being extremely injured, and barely blocked Youyou's mouth.
Now, it's late at night. The entire Baicao Garden was pitch black. This place is originally in the middle of nowhere, and there is nothing to do after dark except for cultivation, so naturally few people light the lamp at this time.
However, at this time, the back hall of Mu Lao's residence was quietly lit with an oil lamp.
The oil lamp was so dim that it barely illuminated the entire back hall. If you look at it from the outside, it is easy to confuse it with fluorescent phosphorescent fire, and it is difficult to see that this is a large-scale building.
Rao was like this, outside the back hall, there was still a soft knock on the door.
"Who?"
Inside the back hall, an impatient voice came out. It doesn't sound old, but it's very young. It was Mu Lao's personal follower, Lynch.
"I, Kang Xiaoba. ”
A young voice that was also not too big replied eagerly.
"Why are you?"
Lynch was a little surprised and immediately questioned.
"Don't worry about that, let me in first, I've snuck into the city. ”
Kang Xiaoba was very anxious and didn't explain much.
Lynch had no choice but to open the courtyard door.
I only heard a "squeak", and a thin figure jumped in from outside the door, it was Nakang Xiaoba.
As soon as Kang Xiaoba entered the door, he said impatiently: "Big brother, your strength is so strong, how can you not perceive that it is me." ”
Lynch frowned and said, "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, you have to pay more attention." And I had an accident during this time of practice, and my right hand was almost useless. By the way, you haven't answered my question yet, why did the second child send you here this time, the fifth one?"
"Don't mention that bad guy. ”
Kang Xiaoba covered his stomach and said with a smile: "When that guy was hunting monsters, he accidentally stepped on the trap he set, and his butt bloomed when he landed. Now I can't move at all, and I can only sleep on my stomach. ”
Lynch's brows didn't stretch, and he still asked with a serious face: "Don't talk about those empty things, did you bring the goods I wanted?" ”
"Of course I did. What the eldest brother explained, how dare the younger brother disobey. ”
Saying that, Kang Xiaoba unloaded a package from behind his back, and said earnestly: "It's all inside, please take a look at it, big brother." ”
Lynch opened the package, glanced at it slightly, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Well done, Hachi. Although it's your first time here, you finally didn't poke any baskets. ”
Kang Xiaoba said with a smile: "Thank you big brother for the compliment, it's not me who brags, if he comes here as the fifth child this time, he may not be able to come." ”
Lynch raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kang Xiaoba didn't answer immediately, but looked around and said, "Big brother, you don't have anyone else, that old man Mu is not here." ”
Lynch snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, that old man doesn't dare to go against my will." On the surface, this is his residence, but it is still at my disposal, and he can only find a small hut to make do. ”
Only then did Kang Xiaoba put his mind at ease, leaned over to Lynch's side, and whispered: "Big brother has lived in Yuanwu Mansion for a long time, and he doesn't know anything about the outside. It is said that the Black Evil Sect stole the treasures treasured by a branch of the Nanshan Sect, and it was spread in private. However, neither party admitted to this matter, but the eyeliner planted in various places has increased a lot out of thin air. ”
"So that's the case, the two of them had better fight each other. Then, our next actions will be much less distracting. ”
Lynch touched his chin, a hint of joy on the corner of his mouth.
Kang Xiaoba shook his head and sighed: "Although this is the case, I am also cautious along the way, lest I be discovered by the Black Evil Gate." ”
Lynch patted Kang Xiaoba on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry so much, Xiaoba, you came here this time, and it can be regarded as a hard work." I have arranged a place for you to live in the old Song Ji store in the south of the city, and you can rest there for the time being. Tomorrow night, sneak out in the dark of night and don't attract anyone's attention. ”
"I have to leave tomorrow? I have to leave at night? If I hadn't been afraid of delaying, I wouldn't have come so late, and you would have to let me rest for two days before leaving." Kang Xiaoba's mouth was deflated and he said in embarrassment.
Lynch's face turned cold, and he said sternly: "Xiaoba, don't think that you will be safe when you enter the city, there are also black eyeliners here." If our identities are revealed, you should know the consequences. Compared to the Nanshan Sect, the Black Evil Sect hates us even more. ”
Between the words, the entire back hall seemed to become extremely cold.
Kang Xiaoba couldn't help but shudder, didn't dare to stay longer, hurriedly said goodbye, and turned to leave.
But before he could go far, Kang Xiaoba changed his mind.
"The eldest brother eats and drinks spicy food in the city, but our brother eats and drinks in the mountains. It's hard to get into the city, and you have to play for two days to get there. This is also the county seat of Zhenyuan County, and the power of the Black Demon Gate should be relatively weak. And as long as I don't fight people, the guards in the city and the people of the Martial Mansion will not find out my secrets. Anyway, I'll go to the old Song Kee store to rest for a night, recuperate enough, and then have a good time in the city for a few days. ”
After Kang Xiaoba left, Lynch looked at the bottles and cans inside the package and couldn't help but sneer.
The materials this time are unusually rich, and they are carefully selected according to Huo Xiu's characteristics, as long as the other party can completely absorb them, what was lost before can be replenished, and even slightly improve their strength.
From then on, Huo Xiu would become dependent on the potion provided by Lynch. At that time, there is no need to coerce and induce, the other party will naturally do things for him obediently. After many years of planning, there is finally a glimmer of success.
