"Old man, I have been a merchant all my life, and I have traveled many places. When he was young, he made many enemies and escaped death several times. When he was middle-aged, he was righteous, made countless friends, and his enemies were gone. When he was old, he was talented, and he went to all directions to judge the good jade, just to continue a few good fates.

Seeing the two little friends today, the old man actually wants to have a good relationship with you, and there is nothing else to ask for. Always smiling and kind, the old man said slowly.

"I see. So where are you ...... from?" Bai Mei nodded, and then asked metaphorically

"Hehe, little friend, don't talk to me, it's better for you not to inquire about the place I came from now. Looking at Bai Mei with a smile, the withered vine old man turned his hand and took out two things, one was a bamboo fish basket, and the other was a white jade net bottle.

"The old man has two things here for the two little friends, and if they accept them, they will have to owe me a favor. Now, I don't want you to pay it back, and when he sees him again one day, if I need it, I will have to trouble the two of you to return me this favor. How?"

"This thing is ......" Looking at the two things in the hands of the withered vine old man, Bai Mei and Cao Xuankong said slowly.

"Hehe, let's take a look first. He smiled and handed the fish basket in his hand to Cao Xuankong, handed the white jade bottle to Bai Mei, and the withered vine old man rolled up his sleeves and stood aside.

Taking the things handed over by the old man of the withered vine, Cao Xuankong opened the lid of the fish basket, and looked inside, a carp with a golden body and an extremely perfect scale texture was swimming happily in the fish basket, and closed the fish basket with a snap, Cao Xuankong's heart could not help beating uncontrollably, and his eyes were full of vibration when he looked at the old man of the withered vine.

Seeing Cao Xuankong's exaggerated expression, Bai Mei was even more interested in what was in the white jade net bottle in his hand, and gently pulled the stopper on the white jade net bottle, Bai Mei squinted and looked in, a drop of round and transparent, light silver liquid was dripping and shaking at the bottom of the white jade net bottle!

Demon Water !!

The pupils shrank to the extreme, and the white eyebrows were like Cao Xuankong just now, and the stopper of the white jade bottle was covered with a snap, and his eyes vibrated and looked at the withered vine old man on the side!

"You mean to say that these two things were given to us for nothing?" Still a little unconvinced, Cao Xuankong asked the old man withered vine with his arms around the fish basket.

"How can I say it's for nothing, old man, I don't do a loss-making business. It's just that most businessmen value the immediate benefits, but I prefer the future, old man. Have you thought about it, this thing ...... Do you take it or not? The old man stroked his beard and said.

"Close!" shouted in unison, Bai Mei and Cao Xuankong looked at each other tacitly, and they both saw a thick smile in each other's eyes.

"Okay, since the two little friends agreed, please also ask the two to give me a token as a proof, and when the old man I have a request for the two of you, I will come to the two with the token in hand. ”

Nodding, Bai Mei took out a spirit stone and raised his hand to mark a sword talisman on it, the sword rune technique is only known to Bai Mei, so it is best as a token, Cao Xuankong also rubbed a piece of yellow dragon scales from his back and handed it to the withered vine old man.

Accepting the tokens of Bai Mei and Cao Xuankong, the smile on the old man's face became even brighter: "Okay, it's done, let's say goodbye." I hope that the next time we meet, you will live up to the old man's expectations of you. Before the words fell, the withered vine old man slowly retreated, his body merged into the withered vine tree, and there was no life in the blink of an eye.

Windfall!

As soon as the withered vine old man left, Bai Mei and Cao Xuankong put away the fish basket and white jade bottle in their hands for the first time, and the chicken thieves glanced at each other, and the two smiled tacitly, never mentioning what they were getting.

Then the two silently jumped down the dry well and left the forbidden land of Xiling!

......

After experiencing the darkness like gliding on the road, the white-eyed Cao Xuankong and Wangcai brightened up and rushed out of a waterfall!

The moment they rushed out of the waterfall, Bai Mei and Cao Xuankong stabilized their bodies and stayed in mid-air, and Wangcai obviously did not have such ability, and took a perfect parabola and fell into the waterhole under the waterfall with a pop.

Suspended on the waterhole, Cao Xuankong arched his hand towards Bai Mei with a smile on his face: "Brother Bai has done me a great favor this time, and Xuankong remembers it." If there is anyone who needs help in the future, Brother Bai will open his mouth directly, and Xuankong will definitely do his best to help. ”

This time with Bai Mei in the forbidden land of Xiling, Cao Xuankong can be said to have gained a lot, not only found the fetal egg of the Shengang Star Lion as he wished, but also got the golden scale carp in the hands of the old man with withered vines. far exceeded Cao Xuankong's original expectations, so at this moment, Cao Xuankong's gratitude to Bai Mei is really sincere, not false.

"You're welcome, cultivation is like a reverse journey, and resolving grievances is a long-term way. Smiled in return, white eyebrows said.

"Well, don't leave it at all. If Brother Bai comes to Zhongzhou, you and I will get together again and say goodbye!" The words fell, and Cao Xuankong immediately turned into a golden rainbow and crossed the sky and left, watching Cao Xuankong leave, Bai Mei flew down to the waterhole to lift the prosperous wealth that was still fluttering in the water, and flew towards the direction of Shu Mountain.

......

"You mean, I've been away for a year and a half?" As soon as he returned to Shushan, Bai Mei felt a little wrong, he had only been away for a month, but the cultivation of the disciples of Shushan had improved a little unbelievably, and this doubt was explained when he saw Zhao Shanhai and Xia Zhong.

"Yes, it's been a year and a half since you left Shushan. Looking at the surprised white eyebrows suspiciously, Zhao Shanhai and Xia Zhong both secretly wondered, what kind of dangerous place did the sect master go, and even the concept of time was confused.

It seems that the speed of time in the Xiling Forbidden Land is not the same as that in Kyushu, I have only been in it for less than a month, and a year and a half have passed in Kyushu. Fortunately, the demon water has already arrived, otherwise it would have been too late.

When the old man of the withered vine of the dark path appeared, Bai Mei sank down and said, "How are the Lock Demon Tower and the Lock Demon Chain prepared?"

"Back to the sect master, one hundred and eight demon chains and I have completed all the forging with Elder Xia, please check it out. The construction of the Lock Demon Tower has also entered the final stage, and it is estimated that it will be completed in the near future. "Hand Bai Mei a storage ring, which contains one hundred and eight demon chains that Zhao Shanhai and Xia Zhong forged day and night.

After taking the ring, Bai Mei poked out a wisp of divine thought, and checked the one hundred and eight demon chains inside.

After a while, Bai Mei nodded with satisfaction: "The two elders have worked hard, the two of them are not in charge of the affairs of the sect, but also have to forge the demon chain, and the hard work of the sect will definitely reward the merits, the two elders will go down to rest first." ”
