The old man had left something else but a stone tablet.

The ancient stele was full of cracks, even spreading to the center of the stele, and there was no doubt that this stele could shatter at any time if it was touched lightly.

His fingers touched the stone tablet, and the words on it were blurred in many places, and only when his fingers touched it, he could feel that there were indents of words on the smooth and rough stone tablet.

And with the contact between his palm and the stone tablet, the meat ball has begun to writhe restlessly, and something is restless in the belly of the meat ball.

If this is the stone tablet he is looking for, then the restless thing in the belly of the meat ball should be the mysterious stone that is boxy.

"How do you have such a thing??"

He was not in a hurry to verify, but asked the bad old man about the origin of the stele.

"Hmph, they want to go, how can they do it at no cost, this is scavenged from the house of the palace master, I look like the stone tablet you got before and brought it back."

The old man said lightly.

Sure enough, if you want to leave, it is not without a price, once the palace master chooses to leave, not only will he be taken back everything he has, but he will also hand over all his net worth, treasures, and collections.

Nothing the Underworld has given them, not a single one can be taken away.

It's like going out of the house when you get divorced.

Think about the bull head and horse noodles and others, the same is true, all the treasures that they rely on for a living must be recovered.

The price seems to be fair, but it is by no means something that anyone can make up their minds to do, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as painful.

Just imagine Niu Tou Ma Mian, such a top fighter in the Ten Palaces, without treasures, his strength has dropped by at least more than half.

Not to mention the palace master and the others, the accumulation of so many years has completely turned into flowing water.

At the same time, he lost all authority he had in the underworld.

Even if he has god-level strength, the terrible decline in strength is equivalent to being beaten back to the original point at once.

Ding Xiaoyi even doubted for a while that after losing so many treasures, authority, and status, it was unknown whether he could defeat the experienced bull head and horse face in terms of fighting skills alone.

But even so, they still resolutely decided to leave the underworld, so you can imagine how strong the temptation of the outside world is for them.

What's more, those who leave today are not really core in the underworld, and the authority they hold is limited.

Therefore, they can perceive that after their own shackles are gone, they can decisively abandon everything about themselves with the most decisive mind, like a strong man breaking his wrist.

I believe that with the passage of time, such as some ghost kings who hold real power, or cores such as the Ten Hall Yama Kings, will also begin to loosen their minds.

Until these ghost emperors such as Yongxiao, Tu Tu, Du Ziren and so on, and even such as the fat fat with a high status, will inevitably leave the underworld.

Maybe this day is still a long time away, but he believes that there will be such a day, and these powerful bigwigs have no reason to let go of this opportunity to go further.

At that time, I am afraid that this prosperous underworld will gradually decline and decay.

"What if...... I mean, if, if I leave the underworld, it wouldn't be the same. ”

Ding Xiaoyi suddenly thought of everything he had now, and couldn't help but ask the bad old man.

As soon as these words came out, he himself was startled, and he didn't know why he had a sense of panic that made him want to flee from here urgently.

But now that the words have been spoken, you might as well ask directly to understand.

The old man's brow furrowed, but after a moment it quickly relaxed.

"No!" He replied decisively, but then added: "You are a special case, and the power of disposal is not in my hands, but even if you give up everything and choose to leave, there will be no punishment, after all, ......"

Speaking of this, the bad old man didn't say any more, but Ding Xiaoyi had already understood, his face changed suddenly, his eyes sharpened sharply, and he stared at the bad old man's face: "After all, my son is still there." ”

The bad old man's eyelids were slightly raised, and he didn't answer, but he didn't deny it.

Such an attitude made Ding Xiaoyi's heart suddenly feel like a basin of cold water had been poured on it, and it was cold to the bones.

Although he was a little skeptical at the beginning, it was not until this moment, after seeing the bad old man's attitude, that he really realized that Xiao Ding Peng's fate seemed to be destined to have an inextricable relationship with the underworld since he was born.

This is a threat, but also a warning.

It's just that he didn't move this idea for the time being, and the bad old man didn't want to say this sentence in the real sense of his mouth for the time being.

So the two tacitly chose to end the topic.

Everyone knows that the result of further progress will inevitably be to tear the skin.

The bad old man stood up and left without looking back, and before leaving, he told Ding Xiaoyi that between the people living in the hotel, whatever they wanted.

There is no need not to provoke them, but if you want to do it, you must not leave any troubles, even clues, or there will be endless troubles.

After the bad old man left, Ding Xiaoyi stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the yellow spring in front of him, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It wasn't until Shuang'er came out and added a piece of clothing to him that Ding Xiaoyi came back to his senses.

"Young Master, what are you thinking about?" Shuang'er saw that he had already squinted, and couldn't help asking.

"Hmm...... I miss my son, but I don't know how this little cub is doing when he just entered school. ”

Ding Xiaoyi took a deep breath and said to Shuang'er.

He didn't want to reveal the words of Fang Cai and the bad old man to anyone around him, on the one hand, things didn't come that far.

On the other hand, it is also because he is not without a backhand, when he was in the Bliss Dream Realm, he concealed many things, including the fact that the Shangqing Daoist gave Ding Peng another life.

At that time, if he really comes to that point, he will give up everything and get out with Ding Peng.

Thinking of this, Ding Xiaoyi's mood also relaxed a lot.

His eyes looked at the stone tablet in front of him again.

Although the ancient inscription has been broken in many places, if you look closely, you will inevitably find that this stone tablet is surrounded by an unusual mysterious power.

Even if the words on it are already damaged, it still can't hide its extraordinaryness.

He did not rush to absorb the stele, but quietly observed, trying to find the secret of the stele text.

He even took out a professional camera and carefully photographed every detail on the stele.

"It's a pity that Zhao Ke is no longer there, otherwise maybe he can let him translate the content for himself."

pondered for a while, but he couldn't think of a clue at all, and Ding Xiaoyi simply didn't toss.

Besides, if it were so easy to crack the secret.

I don't know how long it took for them to get the stone tablet, and if there was a secret, it would have been cracked a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Ding Xiaoyi took out the boxy stone from the mouth of the meat ball.

As soon as he threw it into the stele, he saw that the stele suddenly burst into a burst of golden light, and then the stele seemed to turn into particles and was quickly sucked into the quadrant.

And on the quadrangle that absorbed the stone tablet, there was an extra mysterious rune that was lit up.

Ding Xiaoyi took the square in his hand and studied it for a few more hours.

I want to see what mysterious changes there are in the quadrant that lights up the three runes.

However...... Nothing has been found.

"Isn't it just that you can light up all the runes on it? What the hell is this thing?? ”

He looked at the square in his hand and felt that this thing fell on his hand, but it was like a big problem for himself.

I have to try to decipher the mystery layer by layer, but as for the final answer given inside, I don't know anything.

But he believed that this thing must have a very magical effect, otherwise it would not have been stored by the Queen Mother in a special box.

At the other end of this time, after the bad old man left, he went directly to find the fat fat who was in his own dojo.

The chubby in his own dojo is completely different from what Ding Xiaoyi sees on weekdays.

The figure is tall, the facial features are upright and generous, and the rounded earlobes naturally hang down to the sideburns of the cheeks.

Even the clothes on his body are completely different from usual.

After the fat fat dispersed the disciples around him, he sat in the pavilion with the bad old man and tasted tea.

"So, he's already aware of it?"

Chubby frowned slightly and put the teacup in his hand on the table.

"I've noticed it a long time ago, it's been so many years, and you still think he's the hairy boy back then?"

The bad old man stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth and ate it with relish.

"This ...... Hehe, yes, if you don't say it, I don't feel anything, the little sparrows back then have now become eagles who want to soar in the sky. ”

Chubby remembered the scene when he and Ding Xiaoyi met for the first time, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

Time flies too fast.

For him, a few years is just a snap of his fingers, and it is not even as long as the time he has been lecturing to a few disciples.

Maybe I've adapted to this kind of wasted life.

"Hey, if he really gets to that point, he'll hate us to death."

Chubby looked at the tea cup in his hand, and his eyes became a little sad.

The bad old man on the side was also very silent, but he was obviously more decisive than Chubby: "Let's talk about it then, if it really comes to that day, I think this kid will have a decision, this is his fate." ”

Speaking of this, the bad old man seemed to remember something, looked up at Chubby and said, "I didn't come to tell you this, I mean, you have to pay more attention recently, I'm afraid that Xiao Yi will do something crooked." ”

"What did you say??"

Chubby's face was dazed.

The bad old man rolled his eyes, and his face suddenly pulled his hips: "What else, don't think I don't know, you are secretly teaching children the Dharma, I just don't care about you." ”

After being broken, Chubby smiled and nodded to promise that he would pay attention to the changes in the child.

Speaking of this, Chubby said with a little regret: "It's a pity that the child went to school, hey, there is not much time left for us......"

"yes, time is running out."

The bad old man got up from his chair and threw a sign from the bamboo basket behind him.

Chubby looked at it, and his calm demeanor suddenly became nervous.

"He's leaving, too?"

He picked up the token on the table, carefully checked it, and looked at the bad old man incredulously.

"He's crazy, isn't he? Didn't he know how terrible the price would be when he left the underworld, and how much power was so contested, and didn't he know anything about the events of the past? ”

The more Chubby talked, the more excited he became, and he really couldn't accept it.

But the bad old man was not surprised.

Looking at Du Ziren's name on the sign, he sighed: "It's just that he knows it, so he wants to leave." ”

Du Ziren, as a ghost emperor, is in charge of hundreds of thousands of Yin soldiers in the south, which is a treatment that several other ghost emperors do not have.

It can even be said that Du Ziren is the ghost emperor in the underworld system, whose authority is at least in the top five.

Even a ghost emperor like FU is far inferior to Du Ziren in terms of real power.

Chubby thought that there would be a ghost emperor leaving, and even thought that Tu Tu might have to leave, but he didn't think about Du Ziren.

That's why I was so surprised.

"Ge Hong said back then that Du Ziren has a good character, but his personality is dictated and he is unwilling to be subordinated to others, so I tried to dispel his concerns and let him take power alone, but this is too far from what he thinks."

The old man remembered that he once played chess with Ge Hong by chance.

At that time, Ge Hong just glanced at Du Ziren in a hurry, and concluded that this person was ambitious in his heart and was not a good minister.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Ge Hong's words were still fulfilled.

"Du Ziren is not only gone, but 80,000 elites are leaving with him."

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the bad old man, and the fat fat who was familiar with him looked at his slightly clenched fingers.

Knowing that at this time, the bad old man's opinion was about to be unable to contain the signs of killing intent.

In fact, don't say it's him, even Chubby is very angry, 80,000 Yin soldiers, this must be the elite that Du Ziren has cultivated over the years.

These elites have been trained for so many years, even if they are far inferior to the Great Emperor's hussar guards, but they are also a force to be reckoned with.

Du Ziren took this group of troops away, obviously he already had a plan for the future.

"You don't chase?" He asked the bad old man, such a big thing, it didn't make sense that he could still sit down and drink tea.

"How to chase, his army is mixed with ordinary ghosts, even if I can catch a few."

The bad old man let go of his hand, and finally dissolved the murderous aura that was breathtaking.

At this point, it was already doomed.

Even if I can stop it once, I won't have a next time.

After all, after so many years of good brother, if he really wants to leave, there is no need for him to stop him.

Thinking of this bad old man, he took out his ghost mobile phone, clicked on the ancestral tomb chatter, and sent a message to Ding Xiaoyi:

[Give another plate of beef to Qi Zhenji, just say that the elder brother wishes him to be honest, keep his righteousness, and be a ghost. 】
