Chapter 86: Misunderstanding

Later, when he saw the dragon and phoenix treasure box opened next to the boy (shēn), the man in black immediately ran the dantian, and before his hand could hit the cover of the young man's heavenly spirit, he was attacked by the thief's mother-in-law, this Yang family is really against him!

"Are the people of the Yang family despicable and shameless?" The black-clothed man shouted loudly.

When Yang Xiao heard it, he immediately replied: "The people of the Yang family don't need to be questioned by their predecessors, aren't their predecessors the ancestors despicable and shameless?" You infiltrated my Yang Mansion and almost ruined the reputation of my Yang family, if I hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid I would have really let you escape! ”

The man in black snorted coldly, he knew that it was important to escape for his life at this moment, and immediately said: "Huangkou Xiaoer, I won't debate with you, you want to find the treasure in the city mansion, right?" It's a pity not that I'm here! ”

When Yang Xiao heard this, he sneered: "Not in the seniors? The senior stole and entered the Yang family, and this treasure was gone, didn't he want to accuse me of the Yang family's loyalty? ”

The man in black couldn't argue: "Hmph! I told you that you don't believe it either, if you weren't injured by your Yang family, you would also want to besiege me? ”

Yang Xiao no longer quarreled with the man in black, glanced at the guard, and immediately besieged the man in black. Yang Xiao used his spiritual power and slashed at the man in black, and the man in black immediately slapped back. was already seriously injured, and the man in black was covered in the abdomen

The spiritual power where Xu Yan hit was stagnant, and he immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably.

The man in black looked at Yang Xiao and sneered: "Qingzhou City says that Yang Xiao is the best among the younger generation of the Yang Mansion, I think the rumors are not worthy of the name!" ”

"If the name is not deserved, aren't the predecessors still defeated in my hands?" Yang Xiao snorted coldly, and Xindao's subordinates were defeated.

"If I hadn't been seriously injured, with your cultivation, you would still want to catch me? It's ridiculous! I don't think you're as good as the young man under eighteen in the ruined courtyard, his (shēn) exercises are so weird that you don't deserve to lift his shoes compared to him. The treasure I stole from him is the most compatible! The man in black immediately fought back sarcastically, and thought fiercely in his heart, let your Yang family eat dog by yourself, and earn your life and death.

A dilapidated courtyard?

Under the age of eighteen?

Xu Yan???

How so? No! It is impossible for his father and aunt to teach him the cultivation of immortals, even if the second uncle is the proud son of the sky, and he has been in the Yang family for hundreds of years

The most gifted, so what? Isn't his son still a useless mortal, whose cultivation talent in this Yang family can match him Yang Xiao? Xu Yan's waste is only worthy of being a cook and a waste man in that dilapidated yard!

"Senior, don't you know, I just told a joke?"

Yang Xiao really didn't believe it.

How is it possible for a person who has never cultivated to be able to injure a person whose cultivation level is higher than his?

It must have been the man in black who deliberately blindsided him to divert his attention.

As long as the man in black is caught, everything will be revealed!

Xiuxiantang confronted

When Yang Xiao took advantage of the black-clothed man's vomiting blood and was seriously injured, he used his spiritual power to seal the black-clothed man's Shenque, (yīn) Jiao, Qihai and other (xué) positions. Sealing the thief dantian, his aura is difficult to operate, and it is difficult to fly even if he has wings!

Yang Xiao was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that Yu Xuezhong was deliberately making things difficult for him, but in case the thief was really hiding in the Yang Mansion, if he really let Yu Xue capture the thief from the Yang family, how would he Yang Xiao mix in the Xiuxian Hall in the future? The other party (rì) will definitely use this to hit him in the future. He might as well guard every part of the Yang family closely, giving people the illusion that the guards are negligent, if the thief is really in the Yang family, he will definitely find the omission and escape.

I didn't know that the thief was really in his Yang Mansion, but fortunately he was caught. Okay, now that he hands over the thief to the Xiuxian Hall, plus the half of Xu Xiang's authentic handiwork that he got from Xu Yan's room, the city lord should have some impression of himself, right?

In the snow, what will you do to fight me when the time comes?

However, this thief said that the treasure is in Xu Yan's place, and this matter really can't be careless, what if it's really there? After all, even Xu Xiang's true handwriting

They can all be found in his dilapidated house, what else is impossible? It seems that after sending the thief to the Xiuxian Hall, he should come to interrogate Xu Yan properly.

If Xu Yan really has a problem... He must have personally tied Xu Yan to the Xiuxian Hall. What if Xu Yan is the son of the second uncle? He Xu Yan is not a waste person in the Yang Mansion, and no one can stop him from soaring and affecting his career!

Yang Xiao immediately ordered the guards: "Go, go to the Immortal Hall." ”

A group of people from the Yang family walked out of the Yang Mansion, and Yu Xuezhong's subordinates naturally saw the black-clothed man who was being held by the Yang family, and immediately evacuated a few people and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion to report to Yu Xuezhong at this time.

After a while, two groups of people gathered in the Immortal Cultivation Hall.

The smile on Yu Xuezhong's face had disappeared, and he stood aside with a frown, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yang Xiao's face was full of happiness, glancing at Yu Yu in the snow from time to time, and there was a lot of provocation in his eyes.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Sitting in the hall was an old man of about sixty, who was squinting at the two of them. Somewhat strangely, today (rì) he is not authorized to snow

Did you go to the Yang family mansion to check? Why didn't you find it during the day, but was caught by Yang Xiao at night?

Yu Xuezhong seemed to understand the meaning of the master book, and as soon as the other party's voice fell, he clenched his fists and said: "Lord Master of the book, although Yang Xiao will arrest the thief tonight, the Yang family has long been disobedient, and they have already secretly colluded with the thief, and there is a nest of snakes and rats. ”

Yang Xiao snorted coldly and said, "Master Book, how could my Yang family collude with that thief?" My Yang family's contribution to Qingzhou City for hundreds of years is not something you can slander casually in the snow! ”

Yu Xuezhong showed a smile on his face, and took out the calligraphy he had found a few times ago from his sleeve without hurrying, and stepped forward to present it to the main book and said: "Please look at the main book, this ink treasure is the "Canglan Chapter", which is the words and aspirations written by Xu Xiang when he was young, but I don't want to be found in the second brother's house of Yang Xiao of the Yang family. And the lower left corner of the calligraphy is also covered with the word Xu Yan. ”

Yu handed over the calligraphy and painting in the snow, then turned his head to look at Yang Xiaopan and asked, "Deacon Yang, you said that I slandered the Yang family, so how do you explain this authentic Xu Xiang?" If it weren't for the collusion with the thieves, how could Xu Xiang's true works be in your Yang Mansion? If it weren't for a nest of snakes and rats, how could the thieves hide in the Yang family if they stole the treasures of the City Lord's Mansion? I'm afraid that the treasures lost in the City Lord's Mansion are already there

Your Yang family's treasury is right! And the Yang family's savings over the years are probably also stolen! ”

"You don't want to talk nonsense!" Yang Xiao was furious.

"Humph! Nonsense? Then let's listen to what the master has to say! Yu Xuezhong sneered and turned his head.

The main book got the handwriting, and the more I looked at it, the more surprised I became, this was clearly Xu Xiang's handwriting, and it was the "Canglan Chapter" that was said to have been lost for a long time!

Hurriedly stabilized his mind, patted the shocking wood on the table, looked at Yang Xiao and said, "Yang Xiao, let's not talk about why the thief is hiding in the Yang Mansion, should you present the treasure stolen by the thief first?" Also, why is this Xu Xiang's true work in your Yang Mansion? Could it be that it was privately collected by the Yang family? But it's not right, I remember this letter, it was rumored to be stolen by thieves, so that the whereabouts are unknown, and now this... How do you explain that? ”

Yang Xiao looked at Yu Xue and secretly hated, thinking that sooner or later one day he would trample this guy under his feet!

Yang Xiao also presented the other half of the calligraphy in his sleeve to the main book: "The main book, calligraphy may be related to my second uncle Yang Wuji." My second uncle's cultivation talent is top-notch, don't say that in Qingzhou City, he is also one of the best in the entire Great Wei! When the second uncle was twenty years old, in order to concentrate on cultivation, he traveled around

, but unfortunately God was jealous of the talent and died early. This ink treasure should have been found by my second uncle when he was traveling abroad, and it was stamped with his own private seal by my second brother, who was not a weapon. I also ask the master to forgive my second brother, he is not a vulgar person, so my father did not allow him to go out. The treasure of the city lord is indeed not on the thief (shēn), the Yang family will never collude with the thief, and if the Yang family really takes the treasure of the city lord's mansion, how can they gain a foothold in Qingzhou City? The Yang family will never do this thing to cut off the back road, and please ask the master to check it out. ”

"Deacon Yang, this is just your side of the story. Lord Bookkeeper, I will immediately go to search the Yang family tonight, and Yang Xiao's second brother also needs to be interrogated. Yu Xuezhong said, thinking that even if I can't pull your Yang family down today, I will let you Yang Xiao stay shameless in Xiuxian Hall, such as letting the second brother of Yang Xiao dare to shamelessly stamp the private seal of Xu Xiang's authentic handwritings... As soon as this incident came out, what would those disciples of the Xiuxian Hall who had Xu Xiang as their lifelong admirer think?

"Master book, my Yang family's loyalty and martyrdom have not changed, if the treasures of the City Lord's Mansion are really found in the Yang family, someone will also frame the Yang family. If my Yang family really coveted treasures, how could they escort the treasure thieves to the Xiuxian Hall? If you have the heart to grab the treasure, you should kill people as soon as possible, so that no one will know that the thief is in my Yang family, why bother to do more? Yang Xiao looked at Yu Xue coldly

Middle Way.

The master bookkeeper glanced at Yang Xiao and Yu Xuezhong: "You and I go to the City Lord's Mansion, the reappearance of Xu Xiang's authentic works, and the theft of the treasures of the City Lord's Mansion are very important, I need to immediately report to the City Lord, and then make a decision." ”

The chief bookkeeper ordered the man in black to be imprisoned, put away the calligraphy, and the three of them immediately rushed to the city lord's mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is not far from the main book.

A red-painted gate, a small but delicate garden, and a few steps further to the resting place of the lord of the city, Ping (rì).

The lord of the castle is an old man who is over the age of six.

When the three of them came to the house, he was using a scoop made of a gourd, scooping up water and pouring it on the green plants.

If it weren't for shēn, the most luxurious mansion in the entire Qingzhou City, I'm afraid many people would think of him as an old farmer.

The master bookkeeper stepped forward and said respectfully: "City Lord, the treasure thieves have been arrested in the Yang family, and now they are in prison." But the treasure has not been found so far, presumably it was hidden somewhere by the thieves, and I will interrogate it later, and strive to return the treasure to the city lord as soon as possible. In addition, we found the true trace of Xu Xiang's loss in Yang's house. ”

"Oh? Xu Xiang's real handiwork? The city lord seemed to be indifferent to the unfound treasures, and when he heard Xu Xiang's true handiwork, he paused in watering the flowers, and then dried his hands and feet, and pointed to the direction of the lobby while rolling up his trouser legs: "Let's go, go to the lobby and say." ”

Entering the lobby, the master book immediately unfolded the original handwriting on the table.

The city lord looked at the real handiwork obsessively, and said: "That's right, it's Xu Xiang's real handiwork, you see that this font is multifaceted, staggered, ever-changing, and full of twists." The sixteen characters of the book are written with a pen to stand in the center of the bones, and the side pen is taken from Yan, sometimes hidden and subtle, sometimes sharp. In particular, the chapter, from beginning to end, the brushwork is looking forward to the upward, sparse and transparent, the shape is broken and the meaning is connected, and the rhyme is vivid..."

Well? Wrong.

This shouldn't be the real thing...

He is obsessed with calligraphy in this life, Xu Xiang calligraphy is his favorite (ài), Xu Xiangxiu is talented, and the practice experience is hidden in the font, the real work should have a sense of fairy spirit, but this word is a lot more plain... If it weren't for the fact that the person who wrote the book had a low level of cultivation, he might not be able to recognize it.

The handwriting almost fooled his eyes.

Who wrote it? The city lord glanced at the place where the payment was made, and looked at the three people who were waiting beside him: "I see that this calligraphy is covered with the word Xu Yan, who is this Xu Yan?" ”

After Yang Xiao heard this, he immediately reported: "Don't hide it from the city lord, Xu Yan is the villain's second brother, because he is greedy for fun, he doesn't know the preciousness of Xu Xiang's authentic handwriting, and he has stamped his private seal, and after the villain goes back, he will definitely punish the second brother heavily." ”

The city lord suddenly felt amused, and couldn't help but feel a little interested in this person in his heart: "No need, you send someone to summon Xu Yan to the city lord's mansion." ”

See you in person

Yang Xiao walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and immediately rushed to Xu Yan's courtyard, pointing at Xu Yan and getting straight to the point: "Xu Yan, after we left last night, who did you meet in this courtyard?" ”

A trace of vigilance flashed in Xu Yan's heart, could it be that the man in black was caught? He replied, "No." ”

Yang Xiao looked at Xu Yan's god (qíng) carefully, but Xu Yan's god (qíng) was no different, and said coldly: "You'd better tell the truth, I fought with the treasure thief last night, and when I fought him, I found that his spiritual power was not good. He also told me about the wounds he had suffered in the fight with you yesterday, and then you took the treasure. ”

Xu Yan shook his head: "Brother, you also know that my uncle doesn't allow me to practice, how can anyone dare to disobey my uncle's order and teach me exercises privately?" The thief is not a decent gentleman in the first place, and what he says can be taken seriously. ”

In fact, Yang Xiao also felt that Xu Yan had beaten the man in black with this wretch? He himself had fought with the man in black, and knew that the man in black was not bad at cultivation, and it was impossible for him to plant it here with Xu Yan.

Yang Xiao skimmed Xu Yan, although the treasure may not be in Xu Yan's hands, but what if the thief saw that the courtyard was dilapidated, he deliberately hid the treasure here, hoping that no one would find out? Then he threatened:

Xu Yan, everyone in the Yang family has kept their respective missions in mind since they were born, and they never dare to forget the grace of the family's upbringing. Even if you can't do something that benefits the family (qíng), you won't discredit the family. If the treasure is really here, hand it over to me as soon as possible, if you offend the city lord because of you, my career will be affected in the slightest, and it will be difficult for the Yang family to move an inch in Qingzhou City, and it will be difficult to atone for even death! Don't forget, if it weren't for the Yang family, you wouldn't be alive to this day (rì). ”

Xu Yan replied calmly: "Yes." Xu Yan didn't dare to forget the Yang family's nurturing grace. ”

"By the way, the city lord Ming (rì) will send someone to take you to the city lord's mansion, and the thief insists that he has been to your courtyard that night, and you can answer the city lord's question honestly. There are also the authentic traces of Xu Xiang found in your house, you are really bold enough, Xu Xiang Mobao dares to spoil it. The calligraphy of the city lord cool (ài) Xu Xiang, don't make the city lord disgusted with the Yang family, and don't shirk what you do (qíng). As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiao didn't look at Xu Yan, and walked out of the yard quickly, as if he would stay for a moment longer

As if I had insulted myself.

Xu Yan was a little surprised.

Xu Xiang's real handiwork? I really wrote it myself, and there's another one in the house! Could it be that even the city lord didn't see it?

It seems that I want to bring the calligraphy that I copied that night, and explain it to the city lord. The matter of Xu Xiang's authentic work is easy to say, it is the treasure stolen from the City Lord's Mansion...

That treasure is now in his body, if the city lord blames the Yang family for this, he will not sit idly by, after all, the Yang family has raised him so far, even if he loses this life... No, he still wants to live, to live to find out the truth about the death of his parents...

Xu Yan thought about the matter of the treasure bead (qíng) in his heart, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, and did not fall asleep until Yinshi.

In a blink of an eye, the next day, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion arrived at Xu Yan's courtyard and led Xu Yan to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Xu Yan, the city lord asked me to lead you here, and you can see the city lord when you walk along this path. Remember, don't lie when asked. The guard pointed to the path and said to Xu Yan.

"Yes, Xu Yan remember."

Xu Yan walked along the path, which was about forty meters long and twenty meters wide, and was paved with cobblestones. All kinds of flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the road, such as pompoms, moon seasons, roses, etc., which are red and green. The breeze blows, and the flowers and plants are fragrant and fragrant.

In the depths of the flowers, an old man (tǐng) wearing a straw hat squats on the ground with his back straight, planting flowers, and his beard is as long as the palm of his hand and is silvery-white. Wearing a gray but not gray, yellow and yellow shirt. The pants rolled up to the knees, revealing the muscular and powerful calves.

This path has come to an end, and I haven't seen the city lord yet, could it be that the guard pointed the wrong way? Xu Yan couldn't help but walk straight up to the old man, squatted down (shēn), and asked, "Old man, where is the city lord?" The younger generation has something to visit his old man's home. ”

"You're Xu Yan, right?" The old man slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Yan with a kind face.

But this look didn't matter, but it made the old man feel a little surprised.

He saw that the aura around the young man was flowing towards his dantian

Gathering, if the guess is good, this should be the effect of the spirit sucking beads... The stolen spirit sucking beads actually took the initiative to admit the owner?

This spirit absorbing bead had been in his hand for almost ten years, and no matter what means he used, he couldn't open the box. I didn't expect this young man under eighteen to have such a deep blessing!

The old man was extremely emotional for a while. It's just that, sometimes there must be in life, and there is no time in life to force it, so absorb the spirit bead and give it to him, which can be regarded as a good fate with this child.

Hearing the old man's words, Xu Yan looked at him, although the old man was dressed ordinarily and seemed to be no different from the old farmer in the field, but that gaze and demeanor were by no means something that ordinary people could have.

Could it be... Thinking of this, Xu Yan hurriedly said respectfully: "The kid is Xu Yan." What the deacon of Xiuxiantang found in the kid's room was not Xu Xiang's authentic handwriting, but the kid imitated Xu Xiang's words and wrote, but he didn't want to cause such a big misunderstanding. The boy also has an imitation calligraphy in his hand, and he also asks the city lord to look at it. ”

After Xu Yan finished speaking, he immediately presented another piece of calligraphy to the old man.

"Oh? How do you know that the old man is the city lord of Qingzhou City? "Old

The person looked at him with interest and said, "Just like the old man, isn't he the city lord's subordinate?" ”

Xu Yan shook his head: "It feels different." ”

The city lord's eyes lit up slightly: "What do you feel?" ”

Xu Yan said: "I can't say..."

"Okay, good" The city lord looked at Xu Yan and seemed to be more and more satisfied, and the smile in his eyes was even more than before. He wiped his hands clean, took the words in Xu Yan's hand and looked at them carefully, and found that it was really exactly the same as the words last night.

Unexpectedly, this child cultivates immortals and has a spirit (xìng), and even his calligraphy talent is not low. Is this to become the second Xu Xiang?

"I look at your calligraphy sometimes with subtlety, sometimes with a sharp edge. This is very good, reading books is like watching people, not arrogant, not impatient, not humble or arrogant, and also, your cultivation is among your peers, but it is not low! The city lord touched his beard and exclaimed.

Isn't the cultivation low?

What this means... Has he really stepped into the ranks of immortal cultivators?

Xu Yan was taken aback, and immediately replied, "Go back to the city lord, boy."

This year's sixteenth, I don't know if the city lord can tell the kid a little bit of common sense about cultivating immortals. Afraid that the city lord would think too much, he continued: "Because the kid is stupid and afraid of delaying the cultivation of the people in the clan, he is not very thorough in cultivating immortals. ”

The city lord thought about it, took out a book from his sleeve and threw it to Xu Yan. Dao: "I have been practicing for decades, and in the later stage of my practice, I mostly relied on my understanding of the Heavenly Dao, and there is also this book on cultivating immortals (shēn), if you take it and take a look, it should be able to solve most of your doubts." ”

"It's sixteen this year, has it been my birthday? How about the leap test? The city lord then asked.

Leap attempt? Could it be that the uncle doesn't allow him to cultivate immortals, and... What is this leap test?

Seeing Xu Yan's blank face, the city lord smiled immediately: "You are deeply blessed, and you are the master of absorbing spirit beads, it doesn't matter if you go to the leap test or not." The leap test is just a passage for cultivators to become officials..."

Xu Yan didn't listen to the words in the back, but the three words in the front: Absorb the spirit bead?

Is it the bead? Saying this, the city lord seems to have known about the beads for a long time

The son is on him (shēn)...

"City Lord..."Xu Yan hurriedly saluted, wanting to explain, but before he could say anything, the old man waved his hand.

"Since the pearl has chosen you as Lord, it is your thing, and it does not care what others think." The old man said with a smile.

Xu Yan was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you, City Lord!" Dare to ask the city lord, I don't know what kind of treasure this spirit absorbing bead is? ”

The city lord smiled and said, "Absorbing spirit beads can absorb the aura of heaven and earth on its own, which is a great opportunity for immortal cultivators. Go back, don't tell anyone about sucking spirit beads (qíng). ”

Xu Yan's face didn't change much, but his heart was full of excitement (qíng), and he bowed (shēn) and said, "Thank you, city lord!" The boy must take it to heart. ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Cultivating immortals

Bidding farewell to the city lord, Xu Yan's hand holding the book trembled all the way, this was the first book on cultivating immortals he had received in sixteen years, and he couldn't wait to sit down immediately and turn the book through from beginning to end.

Xu Yan said goodbye to the guards of the City Lord's Mansion and immediately rushed to the Yang family.

The doorman of the Yang family was taken aback when he saw Xu Yan. Today, Xu Yan was taken away by the guards of the city mansion, and the Yang family spread the news that Xu Yan destroyed Xu Xiang's authentic works and stole the city lord's treasure.

They don't believe that Xu Yan stole treasures to death, how can his weak chicken-like (shēn) body steal treasures? I was afraid that before I could get close (shēn), I was killed.
