Back at the old man's village, Shang Shirong dismissed the clansmen and invited Nie He into his study.

After taking his seat, Nie He said: "Before I appeared, I had been observing you for many days, the grudge between the Shang family and the Cao family, I have learned through the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, to put it mildly, with your current strength, if you want to take revenge, it is simply a pipe dream!"

Shang Shirong said respectfully: "Master Wangnie points out a clear path for the Shang family!"

Nie He said: "It's not a secret, my lord went to do a very important thing alone, entrusted his wife and children to me to protect him secretly, who knew that he would never return, and even the Dark Fragrance Pavilion could not know his whereabouts."

My lord has the virtue of rebirth for me, and I must find out his whereabouts to be at ease, but before I leave, I must try to entrust the safety of his wife and children to a reliable and powerful man!"

Shang Shirong asked, "Are the wives and children of your lord all ordinary people, or are they ......?"

Nie He said: "Madame is a high-ranking samurai, and the son has entered the South Garden of the Lin'an Academy. ”

"I'm ashamed that I just ...... promoted to a high-ranking samurai not long ago!" Shang Shirong said.

Nie He said: "In Lin'an City, there are few people who dare to touch Mrs., I am only worried that my son will be bullied or secretly harmed when he walks outside the mansion!"

Shang Shirong said: "You mean, you want us to lock Childe's whereabouts in the field of vision as much as possible, and ensure his safety at all costs!"

Nie He nodded and said, "Exactly, not only that, but if you get any news that is unfavorable to your son, and you can't handle it properly, you must warn Madame in time."

Again, as a last resort, try not to expose it, so as not to disturb their lives.

As long as you can do this well, when I find my lord, I will definitely ask him to help you uproot the Cao family!"

Shang Shirong said very frankly: "Although the strength of the Shang family is low, but all of them are loyal and courageous, what to do, you just give orders!"

More than a month later, in the evening.

Nie He found Shang Shirong and handed him a ring of acceptance, and said, "This ring is for you, it contains a Xuanhua Treasure Knife, as well as some cultivation resources and belongings from the secular world, it should not be a big problem for you to spend a few years." ”

Shang Shirong's eyes turned red and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Nie He said: "Well, after this month's special training, I have seen your ability and potential, and I can finally leave with confidence, if everyone asks, you will say that I will go out to do errands, and I will return in a few days!"

Shang Shirong nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, as long as I, Shang Shirong, still have a breath of air, I will definitely not let Gongzi make any mistakes!"

......

After Shang Shirong finished talking about the past, he distributed a few dishes to Shen Yun's dishes, and continued: "After Master Nie left, we followed his instructions and arranged fixed eyeliner in the place where you often go, and arranged for the well-behaved Shihua to enter the City Lord's Mansion on an errand, while Shifu and I mixed into the local beggar gang, and after seizing the position of the gang leader, we placed our own people in it.

On weekdays, as soon as you leave the Dong Mansion, someone will immediately notify me or Shifu who are on duty in the city, and we will immediately follow you until you return home safely.

In the school house where you are located, there are also people we have paid off, who learned that you were angry with Cao Mo and gambled with him, so they found an opportunity to steal the gambling contract you gave him.

On the day of the release, Shifu has been waiting for you to come out in the corner next to the city lord's mansion, and he was really hungry, so he went to the restaurant next to him and stole a roast chicken, wrapped it in oiled paper and returned to its original place.

Just after a few bites, Shihua quietly walked out of the city lord's mansion and told Shifu about the situation inside, Shifu felt that the situation was a little serious, and he didn't bring a pen and paper, so he went to the side to find a charcoal block, threw the roast chicken, wrote a warning sentence on the oiled paper, and reported it to Mrs. in time!"

Although there was a certain deviation between the development of things and Shen Yun's inference, fortunately, the general direction was correct, which made him find Shang Shirong by mistake.

He raised his wine glass and said seriously: "Even if there is no matter of your Shang family, I and the Cao family are already incompatible, and the other party will definitely not let me go, any apologies and advance payment of tuition are just a plan to stabilize the monarch, seniors rest assured, this blood debt, we must ask the Cao family back!"

At this moment, Shang Shirong suddenly received a spiritual transmission from his fourth brother Shang Shigui: "Big brother, something happened!"

Shang Shirong frowned, and said to Shen Yun: "Son, the fourth said that something happened outside, or I'll go and see it first?"

Shen Yun said: "Since there is something, then I can't stand by and watch, let's go together!"

......

Under the oldest banyan tree in the village, lies a water buffalo that has just died.

The shepherd boy said to Shang Shirong, Shen Yun and others who were standing beside me: "When I returned from grazing, I took the cattle to drink water and put them in the shed.

After counting, I found that there was one missing, so I hurried back to look for it, not wanting it to be lying here without life!"

Shang Shirong asked Shang Shigui, "Have you found out the cause of death?"

Shang Shigui scratched his head and said, "Looking at the wound, it was penetrated by some unknown object, but we searched under the corpse several times, but found nothing, it's really incomprehensible!"

"Yun Shao, it's the essence of Yuanmu!" Shen Yun suddenly received Hulu's excited spiritual sense transmission.

Shen Yun said, "What is the essence of Yuanmu?"

Hulu explained: "It is the purest wood essence in the spirit world, it is made of plants that have grown for 10,000 years or more, it falls when it encounters the wind, it stops when it encounters the soil, although it is small, it can easily penetrate the golden stone, if it can be included in the ring mansion, then the green wood forest can be revived!"

"Aoki Forest, could it be hidden in the clouds and mist of the West Main Road!" Shen Yun thought for a moment, and then asked Hulu, "Then how should I put it into the Ring Mansion?"

Hulu said: "Use the method of receiving the ring!"

Shen Yun said: "I'm only a middle-level warrior, don't say that I don't know how to collect, even if I know, it's useless!"

Hulu smiled: "It's too late to explain more, the law is like this......"

After Shen Yun wrote down the decision, he asked for a torch from the hand of a person next to him, walked to the pool of blood on the ground, squatted down, and carefully searched for it in the pool of blood with his hands.

When he touched a hard object the size of a fingernail, he immediately received a voice from Hulu: "This is it!"

Shen Yun pinched the piece of Yuan Wood Essence with two fingers, and frowned matter-of-factly: "Could it be it!"

Taking advantage of the fact that others were stunned, Shen Yun put the essence of Yuanmu into the Star Glass Ring, then twisted his fingers vigorously, and sighed: "It turned out to be just a piece of congealed blood!"

Shang Shirong was very moved when he saw that Shen Yun was so enthusiastic about helping to find clues, and hurriedly asked the onlookers for a clean Juanpa, stepped forward and handed it to Shen Yun, and said: "Such a small thing is worth doing it yourself, wipe it quickly!"

Shen Yun shook his head, walked to the water's edge to wash his hands, wiped them dry on his body, returned to Shang Shirong's side, and said with a smile: "Such a beautiful and clean handkerchief, it can't be washed clean if it is stained with blood, I am reluctant to use it!"

Everyone present more or less knew that Shen Yun had some relationship with Master Nie, and seeing that he was not only outstanding, but also kind-hearted, they couldn't help but think a little higher.

Shang Shirong returned Juan Pa to the woman and said to Shen Yun: "Let them continue to investigate, let's go back and wait for news!"

Shen Yun saw that some people's eyes were faintly flashing with panic, and he groaned for a while, and suddenly patted his forehead hard, and said: "I remember, "Persona" has a report, there is a spirit insect called [Banyan Cicada] in the world, which likes to inhabit the banyan trees that have no similar existence in the surrounding area.

In appearance, it resembles a golden cicada with two wings, a sharp, hard silver horn on the top of its head, and two front chelae that are also extremely sharp.

Before dying, the banyan cicada will fly to the bottom of the tree at a very fast speed, pierce the ground with its silver horn, dig a straight hole downward, and complete the mission of reproducing offspring by self-destructing!"

Shen Yun's voice was very loud, and everyone present could hear it clearly, and then it became a heated discussion.

"I see, I thought it was some kind of brute!"

"I thought that the silver horn of the banyan cicada pierced the back of the buffalo, and mistakenly thought that it was to the ground, so I dug all the way down the body of the cow, and after penetrating it, I thought that it had gone deep into the ground, so I exploded and died without hesitation. ”

"Can't be wrong, that's it!"

“......”

Shang Shirong saw that everyone was convinced, and immediately said loudly: "Now that everyone already knows the cause of the buffalo's death, then stop being suspicious and presumptuous, the night is dark, go home quickly!"

......

Back in the dining hall, Shang Shirong smiled and said to Shen Yun: "You are really knowledgeable!"

Shen Yun smiled noncommittally, because he was anxious to know why he was able to use the Na Ring to access items as a middle-level warrior, and he was extremely curious about the essence of the Yuan Wood, so he bowed his hand to Shang Shirong and said: "Senior, maybe I have rested too little in the past few days, and the younger brother feels a little weak, you see ......."

Shang Shirong hurriedly said: "The room has already been prepared, I'll take you over to rest!"

After Shang Shirong invited Shen Yun into a quiet and comfortable bedroom, he said goodbye and left.

Shen Yun closed the door, went to the bed and sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered the Xingli Pavilion of the Xingli Ring Mansion.

Soon, Hulu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Senior brother, didn't you say that only high-level warriors can use the Na Ring?" Shen Yun asked straight to the point.

Hu Lu said: "Before you left that day, I suddenly found that your spiritual aura far exceeded that of a low-level warrior, and after a closer look, sure enough, it was really the breath of a middle-level warrior, and now, from the perspective of spiritual sense, you are completely a high-level warrior!"

"You're saying that the growth rate of my spiritual consciousness is a small level higher than that of the spiritual power realm!"

"Exactly!"

Shen Yun snapped his fingers excitedly and said excitedly: "That's really good, so I can use the Yipin Spirit Knife right away!"

Hu Lu laughed dryly twice and said, "Magic weapons are different from ordinary magic weapons, they need to be infused with sufficient spiritual power and constantly replenished to be able to exert their power.

The spirit yuan reserve of a mid-level samurai is not strong enough, and it is a standard high-level samurai with the minimum threshold for using a first-grade spirit sword. ”

Shen Yun looked slightly disappointed, and comforted himself: "It's already very good to be able to use the Na Ring!"

Hu Lu smiled: "Actually, in addition to allowing you to use the Ring to collect items in advance, there are even greater benefits of a small realm of spiritual awareness!"

Shen Yun hurriedly said, "Let's hear it!"

Hu Lu said: "I think you have been busy improving your spiritual cultivation these days, and you should not have time to carefully study the Prologue of the Missing Dao Sutra!"

Shen Yun smiled bitterly: "I also know that basic theories are important, but there is extra time!"

Hu Lu said: "The ancestor has explained to me some of the principles of human cultivation, now let me briefly explain it to you!"

Shen Yun said happily: "Then there will be Senior Brother Lao!"
