"Don't worry, I've asked a few aunts nearby to help in the past few days, so you don't have to worry about the welfare home." Liu Ruoxue looked at us with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but when she looked at me, her eyes were a little worried.

I grabbed her hand and smiled at Liu Ruoxue and nodded, indicating that I could handle it.

The meeting ended hastily after I had eaten.

Late at night, everyone went to bed after a simple freshening up, and I was no exception.

I don't know why, the closer I get to the competition with the White Lotus Sect, the calmer my heart becomes.

We slept comfortably, got up early in the morning, had breakfast, and then rushed to the bus and came to Qingming Town.

There is a faint layer of white mist around Qingming Town, which surrounds the town.

Looking at the town, Li Qingyun instructed: "Take care of your luggage, there are all thieves here, and there is no one to help you collect your debts if you have less money." ”

Hearing this, I quickly covered my pockets.

I know that people in this town like to steal money, so I only have a hundred dollars with me in this business, and if it is all stolen, I will have no money to go back.

Walking into the village, there are really a lot of people in this village, every villager is busy with their own affairs, children are running around the streets, everything is so natural.

Several children were playing a game of chasing me, and a seven or eight-year-old kid accidentally bumped into my body.

The child was still young, one did not stand firmly, and sat on the ground with a butt, I was worried that the child would fall into something, so I hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Kid, are you alright?"

The child shook his head with a smile, that cute look was really cute.

When I came out, I was afraid of motion sickness, so I brought a few pieces of candy.

He took out the candy from his pocket and gave it to the child, who got the candy, smiled brighter, and ran to his friend without saying thank you.

Young is good, and vitality is infinite.

I sighed and shook my head, stood up, and touched my pocket, and my tears almost didn't fall out.

"What's wrong?"

The Ninth Master walked up to me and looked at me strangely.

"My hundred dollars are gone! It must have been that kid just now! ”

Originally, the money was still there, but when I was hit by that child, the money was gone! It's not him, who else could it be! I blamed myself for being careless, thinking that the kid wouldn't be a thief.

The ninth master glanced at me helplessly: "Come on, that kid has run away, let's quickly find a hotel to stay." ”

I glanced indignantly at the place where the child had disappeared and nodded.

Jiu Ye had already booked a hotel in Qingming Town, and when we arrived at the place where we lived, two people came to meet us, and they turned out to be acquaintances.

The first and fourth years of junior high school, dressed in white, walked out of the hotel.

When they saw me, the faces of the two people did not show surprise, the first junior still greeted us with a gentle smile on his face, and when the fourth junior saw me, a trace of guilt flashed on his face and he lowered his head.

I know, he still remembers the events of Baojia Village.

"Senior Wen, Master Li, Thirteen, you haven't seen you for a long time."

"Long time no see."

Jiu Ye's smile is still so hearty, but the smile has not reached the bottom of his eyes, and he knows that it is perfunctory at a glance.

"Tomorrow is the competition, and I'm looking forward to the skills of the thirteen brothers." The voice of the first year of the first year is very flat, and there is nothing wrong with it at first glance, but if you taste it carefully, you will know that it is full of irony.

Bai Qingzhen has fought with me before, and I am considered a defeat, and now that I say this, it is difficult not to let me think crookedly.

"Then you just look forward to it, and besides, your master also has to call me Senior Brother Wen, you call me brother, is this generation a little messy."

Chu Yi's face stiffened slightly.

This thing seems to be gentle and elegant, but it is actually the most real lackey of Bai Qing Zhenren, I don't think he has a good face, and he whistled to himself: "I hope, when you see me in the future, you will call me Master Wu, otherwise, I can accept calling me Grandpa Thirteen." ”

With that, I strode towards the hotel.

The ninth master knew what I had done in Baojia Village, and he didn't say anything, just followed me with a light smile.

Li Qingyun didn't know the grievances between us at the beginning, so he didn't ask much, and walked into the hotel with us.

After verifying my identity with the shopkeeper, paying the money, and taking the key, I returned to the room and told him everything I had done before.

After listening, he nodded thoughtfully: "I heard that Bai Qingzhen likes to collect some magic weapons and treasures, and it is the kind that does not compromise the means, for the sake of money, whether it is an evil law or an evil formation, it is not mistaken, and he is extremely cautious, thirteen, it is better for you to be careful." ”

I nodded, "I know." ”

Look at the time now, it's already noon.

"Are you hungry? When I came here just now, I saw another seller selling baked cakes in front of me, so I'll go buy some Chinese food. ”

"There you go."

Jiu Ye sat on the bed and meditated, heard my words, and nodded.

I smiled a little embarrassedly and moved to the side of the ninth master: "I brought a hundred yuan, and it was stolen by that kid just now, the ninth master, can you ......?"

When he opened his eyes, the Ninth Master looked at me with extremely contemptuous eyes: "In my bag, take it yourself." ”

I answered, took fifty yuan from the ninth master's wallet, and walked outside.

As soon as I walked out of the hotel, I found a dusty child squatting in the doorway.

As soon as the boy saw me, his eyes lit up and he walked towards me.

"Hey, aren't you the kid on the bus yesterday?"

The child pursed his lips, took out a hundred yuan from his shabby clothes and handed it to me: "This is your stolen money, I will help you find it." ”

I was stunned for a moment and took the money from him.

"Also, the two people you met just now were dressed in white, they are very fierce, they seem to be very capable, you should be careful."

After saying that, I turned around and wanted to run.

I hurriedly grabbed him: "What are you doing running so fast!" You helped me get my money back, how about I treat you to dinner? ”

The child shook his head: "You borrowed so much money from me, I can't let you ask me to eat anymore." ”

"You're welcome, let's go!"

I didn't care about the child's reaction, and just pulled him towards the baked cake shop.

This child's appetite is absolutely top-notch, I originally only bought eight baked cakes, thinking of two for each person, but this child is like a starving ghost reincarnated, and he actually eats all eight of them.

"How many days have you not eaten?"

The child was a little embarrassed to swallow the last bite of the baked cake into his stomach and touched his mouth: "I have a big appetite since I was a child." ”

"By the way, I don't know your name."

"My name is Da Ming."

I nodded: "You're from this village?" You just told me to be careful of those two in white, why? ”

Da Ming glanced around mysteriously, and after making sure that there was no one left, he leaned into my ear and whispered: "They came a week ago, once, I was picking mushrooms in the mountains, and I heard them talking to a fox, saying that they were going to deal with a person named Wu Thirteen, do you know this person?" ”

"That person is me."

Da Ming's eyes widened suddenly, and he swallowed: "You're not afraid? ”

"The more the world is afraid of something, the more something comes, what is there to be afraid of."

Pursing his lips, Da Ming lowered his eyelids: "You are a good person, I don't want anything to happen to you." ”

I smiled and touched his head, "By the way, you heard them talking to the fox from that mountain?" Is the fox snow-white and has five tails? ”

"I heard it on the mountain of Dove, which is on the hill behind the hotel where you stayed, but that mountain used to be a mass grave, and it was not clean, so you better not go."

"Okay, to thank you, I'll buy you a few more baked cakes, and you can bring them home to your mother to eat."

Da Ming's eyes were red at that time: "Thank you." ”

I didn't speak again, and bought ten more baked cakes for Daming, and after sending him home, my whole face fell.

The White Lotus Sect really colluded with Hu Xin'er.

Mt. Cave? Isn't this the place where I was asked to compete?

I stood on the side of the road, my face slightly gloomy.

There were quite a few people walking on the streets in the village, although they were all dressed in coarse clothes and linen, but the faint aura around them could not be concealed.

They are all cultivators, so let's come to see the excitement of tomorrow.

Holding the pancake in my arms, I walked in the direction of the hotel.

After eating the lunch, I went to my room alone and began to draw talismans and meditate until the evening.

There was a sudden knock at the door, and I saw through the cat's eye that it was the ninth master standing at the door, so I dared to open the door.

Jiu Ye held a fast food box in his hand and put it in front of me: "It's not early, let's eat something." ”

Only then did I realize that it was nine o'clock, and my stomach was really a little hungry.

Unpacking the box, I began to eat, halfway through eating, I felt that something was wrong, Jiu Ye has always looked at me with a father's eyes looking at his son, and I was uncomfortable looking at it.

"Ninth Master, if you have anything to say, just say it, you are like this, I am panicking."

"No, I just sighed, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, you have changed from a coward who doesn't know anything to a Zhenyin person who is now in charge alone."

I scratched my hair: "This is all what you taught well, Ninth Master, can I ask you a question?" They all said that Bai Wuchang was my previous life, do you know Bai Wuchang? Can you tell me a little bit about him? ”

I looked up a lot of things about Bai Wuchang, but most of the stories are nonsense, and there is no truth at all.

The Ninth Master thought for a while: "Actually, I am not particularly familiar with Bai Wuchang, but Bai Wuchang has served in the underworld for thousands of years, and his mana is high, even stronger than Black Impermanence. ”
