The first lot in tonight's auction is a Gu altar.

"This Gu altar is made of a natural hollow rosewood, and after special processing, it is especially suitable for cultivating all kinds of high-grade Gu worms, and it starts at five hundred taels." Yuerong quickly started the auction.

After several rounds of competition, it was finally sold at a price of 700 taels.

The next few lots were also Gu-related lots, Xiao Yao didn't have any interest, just chatting with Hu Yiyi on the side.

And Hu Yiyi obviously doesn't look down on these things, thinking that there are higher-level things in the Poison Dragon Sect.

It wasn't until the second thing at the end that it piqued Xiaoyao's interest.

A short, refined scimitar.

Xiao Yao looked at the scimitar and directly told himself that it was what he wanted.

This scimitar is about the same size as Wei Decai's knife, but the workmanship is obviously much better than Wei Decai's. Due to the high starting price, there were not many bidders.

Xiao Yao easily bought it for two thousand taels, and then the two of them felt bored, so they left the auction and went back to the inn.

Hu Yiyi went directly to the eldest lady's room to chat, while Xiao Yao went back to his room to play with the scimitar.

It is said to be a scimitar, but in fact, the blade is only slightly curved, and it is a short knife as a whole, and its appearance looks very similar to the witch knife.

Ever since he got the Jiuli Witch Codex, Xiao Yao felt that he should have a witch knife, but he had never found a suitable one, so he was very satisfied with the short knife he photographed tonight.

It seemed that the little guy in his arms was not satisfied with the scimitar, and under Xiao Yao's stunned gaze, he forcibly pinched the small round ball into a filament again and set it on the knife body.

A fine short knife suddenly turned into the appearance of the Green Dragon Glaive Knife.

Xiao Yao was amazed by the strangeness of the little monkey, could it be that this little guy was reincarnated by Sun Wukong?

Xiao Yao settled the little guy to sleep, no longer regretting his scimitar. Calm down again, run the true qi of the leisurely tour, meditate, and the whole person gradually enters an ethereal state.

At this moment, the speed of absorbing the air flow around the body has become a little faster than before, and the true qi in the body is also running much faster. Xiao Yao now almost no longer needs to sleep, and he meditates and runs **, which is faster than sleep to replenish energy.

After running for a small week, Xiao Yao looked out the window at the night and decided to explore the Tusi Mansion again at night, and then test the guard surnamed Du.

Ever since I fought with this person, I have a vague feeling that this person has too many secrets, and it is not as simple as just a guard on the surface.

Xiao Yao heard that there was no movement next door, and thought that the two of them had already fallen asleep, and hid the little monkey in his arms, but he didn't bring the scimitar, sorted out his bags, put on his mask, and flashed out of the inn.

Soon came to the Tusi Mansion, dodged over the high wall, entered the Tusi Mansion, found the small building where the high priest and Du guards of King Miao lived last time, and quietly sneaked into the second floor.

The High Priest had been killed, and the room was pitch black, but the lights were still on in the room of the Du guards.

Xiao Yao was afraid of startling the snake, so he didn't dare to approach rashly. This Du guard's martial arts are not below him, so he should be careful.

Xiao Yao crept along the eaves and slowly moved over, and heard someone talking inside the house.

"What happened to the two entourages of the second son?" It was the voice of the guard surnamed Du.

"My lord, those two family members seem to have been drugged, and they have been convulsing all over their bodies, what to do, please show me." A young man replied.

"Arrange for someone to send them back, and let the people in the house watch and deal with it, after all, they are Mrs.'s people." The surnamed Du thought for a moment and said softly.

"My lord, are we going to Phoenix Mountain, I heard that Lord Qincha went to Phoenix Mountain." The young man asked again.

"No need, let's go back to Xizhou, we have almost done what we should do this time, you can take someone back to Xizhou tomorrow." Guard Du said.

"My lord, what about the matter of Qin's errand?" The young man asked.

"I will tell Master Kang directly, you just need to return to Xizhou and wait for my news, I think there may be something else happening in Miaojiang." The man surnamed Du lowered his voice and said.

"My lord, won't you go back with us?" The young man asked.

"I still have to go to see King Miao and Lord Kang, after all, the high priest of King Miao is missing, and many people from Tantra, Zhong and Wuliu factions are also missing, and now there are all kinds of forces in this village, and there is no need for you to stay here, and there is no need to get involved in the disputes of these Jianghu factions."

"Yes, sir." The young man replied respectfully.

"Go down, I'm going to see someone, and tomorrow morning, you leave early." Guard Du commanded again.

The young man bowed out of the door and snapped it shut.

At this time, I heard the guard surnamed Du shouting, "Friends outside the window, come into the house and talk, why be sneaky." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yao was shocked in his heart, he found out? Immediately thinking that he might be deliberately tempting, he calmed down and waited for the change.

"Come out. Friend, do you need Du to personally invite Your Excellency to appear? Guard Du's voice sounded again.

Just as Xiao Yao was about to leave, he saw a sound on the roof of the house closest to him, and a black shadow flashed and jumped into the room surnamed Du.

"Master Du, we meet again." This is a middle-aged man, and his voice is somewhat familiar to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao secretly rejoiced, fortunately he didn't show up.

"Yes, we meet again. Ghost-faced friends. Guard Du snorted coldly and said.

The person who came was actually a ghost-faced real person from the Witch Clothes Sect.

"Your Excellency is polite, I have no choice but to come to visit you tonight." The ghost-faced real person was a little abrupt and said with a chuckle.

"No need to go around in circles, Bloody Clothes asked you to come and talk to me?" The guards surnamed Du didn't seem to be very friendly to the ghost-faced man.

"Your Excellency, our boss asked me to visit late at night, just to ask my lordship. Does the condition that the adult agreed to before still count? The ghost-faced man asked in a deep voice.

I can't imagine that there is a secret agreement between this surnamed Du and the Witch Cloth Sect? Xiao Yao secretly speculated.

"As long as your faction is willing, of course you can continue. But the premise is that the surname Du's voice changed, and he continued: "The premise is that your faction needs to be able to show the strength to continue to cooperate. ”

"My lord, the head of our faction means that he wants to continue the previous cooperation, but he needs your help. I hope that the adults can come forward to say hello to our Witch Clothes Sect and the Four Great Toasts, and try to delay the handover of our Witch Clothes Sect and the Poison Dragon Sect as much as possible. ”

Ghostface was cautious about it.

"Yes! As long as you show enough sincerity, I can promise you on behalf of Lord Kang. Guard Du said lightly.

After a pause, I heard the ghost-faced real man say again: "My lord, I would also like to ask you to help investigate the master who appeared this morning, that person is definitely not from the Poison Dragon Sect. Even if the Poison Batian is alive, he will never have the skills of this person, and if this person is on the side of the Poison Dragon Sect, it will inevitably affect our plans. ”

Du is also very curious about this person, and there are few people in the world who can defeat the Sanqing swordsman Qiu Ming with only two moves. I have already sent someone back to the Central Plains to investigate, and I suspect that there are other people who have come to Miaojiang. So I don't need you to tell this person, I will also investigate it. Guard Du said.

"Our boss has recently found a breakthrough, and it just takes some time before we can continue with our previous plans." Ghostface said.

"It's best to be like this, a valuable friend is a friend, otherwise Lord Kang will be very disappointed. If Lord Kang is disappointed, that Lord will also be disappointed, and this kind of result is not something you can afford. Guard Du continued to speak lightly.

"Yes, my lord, we will definitely finish our part according to the previous plan. The villain retired. Ghostface said goodbye.

"Go ahead, sue sù blood in the sky, I will give him the support he wants." Guard Du said.

The ghost-faced real person quickly exited the room, but Xiao Yao was still lying motionless under the window. The vigilance of this surnamed Du is much higher than that of ordinary people, and it is better to be careful.

It seems that this surnamed Du is not only Kang Qincha behind him, but also has a more complex background.

After waiting for a full stick of incense, Xiao Yao quietly left the Tusi Mansion and returned to the inn.

Halfway through, he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing on the side of the road, and with Xiao Yao's eyesight, he immediately determined that this person was Wei Decai.

After witnessing the conspiracy between the Wuliu faction and the Zhong family in the cave, Xiao Yao had already realized that many things he was still thinking too simply.

Wei De is here at this time, and for what?

Xiao Yao followed closely, and when he saw Wei Decai, he came to a stilted building and entered in a flash.

Xiao Yao quietly sneaked into the outside window of the second floor, the stilted buildings of the Miao people are generally used for living on the second or third floor, so Wei Decai should go to the second or third floor.

As expected, Wei Decai soon appeared on the second floor, and the lights were on on the second floor.

"Brother Wei, you're here." Only the voice of a middle-aged man could be heard.

"Daoist Qiu, Decai came here this time to do Daoist Qiu a favor for me." Wei Decai said.

"I already understand Brother Wei's situation, since the Wei family has abandoned you, you might as well stop worrying, of course, our cooperation will not hurt the Wei family, Brother Wei, as long as you help us investigate the whereabouts of the missing person I sent to you, we will definitely reward you heavily."

The person who spoke was none other than Qiu Ming.

"Last time, thanks to Daoist Qiu's secret guidance, he saved Wei's life, and Wei will definitely do his best to investigate this matter. Tantra, the Zhong family and the masters of your sect disappeared together, I think there must be a big force behind it, and there are not many forces in Miao Jiang with such great power. Wei Decai analyzed.

"I also thought about what Brother Wei said, but this morning's competition changed my mind, if it is a top master, such as the person who competed with me today, it is not surprising to kill all of them." Qiu Ming said.

"Daoist Qiu, I've never heard of such a powerful master in the Poison Dragon Sect, so I suspect that this person is very likely to be from the Central Plains like you." Wei Decai said.

"I have secretly sent someone to investigate this person, you can try to find out the whereabouts of these missing people now." Qiu Ming said.

"The Wei family is too greedy this time, there is a way that greed is not enough to swallow elephants, but I am afraid that it will end up miserable. Therefore, Qiu hopes that Brother Wei will still keep a distance from the descendants of your clan. Qiu Ming secretly mentioned.

Hearing this, Wei Decai also sighed, "The elders of the clan also hope to take this opportunity to change the status quo of the clan's continuous decline." ”

"This time, although Lord Kang is leading the matter, the Tantric Sect was invited by the Witch God Temple, the Zhong family was invited by the Wu family, and our Wuliu Sect chose to cooperate with your Wei family, I didn't expect your Great Elder to be so greedy that he actually wanted to get his hands on the Eyeless Silkworm."

Qiu Ming sneered, the meaning was self-evident.

"The clan was also made to lose their minds by the news of the appearance of the eyeless silkworm, hey!" Wei Decai sighed again.

"I think this eyeless silkworm is like a bait, attracting all forces to Miaojiang, making Miaojiang a huge whirlpool. And we are inevitably drawn into this vortex. Qiu Ming said.
