Chapter 5: Fellow Practitioners

Inside, a little sunlight pours in. A book of poems was scattered on the floor. In the other corner of the narrow space, the man with good facial features had a hideous face and pressed another young man who kept swallowing and spitting against the wall.

Qiao Xuebin, the second son of the Qiao family, somehow lost his temper, and it was Zheng Ming, Heyue's servant, who was pressed against the wall.

"I'll tell you one last time, now I'm going to see the real Nan Kelu! If you dare to lie to me again, I have a way to get you back to your mountains and wilderness forever!"

Zheng Ergou's ruffian face showed a rare look of helplessness, and he nodded with difficulty. Qiao Xuebin finally let go of his hand. To lighten the mood, he grinned. And the surprise in the hearts of these two people at this moment is equally strong.

Two quarters of an hour ago, Zheng Ergou cleaned up He Yue's bedroom in Xifu, and then went out for a stroll with nothing to do. Because he had already heard some rumors, the Qiao family seemed to have a cultivator who cultivated Dao arts. Thinking of his origins and deeds, he vaguely felt that this mysterious monk would have a change in his plans and those who planned his approach to the Netherlands.

When he walked to the edge of Qiao's mansion, something strange happened. He went out for a walk with the Tiantian Stone that Qiaofu gave to Heyue, playing with it while shopping. Zheng Ergou has been pondering this stone for a while, and he found an opportunity to touch it some time ago. However, with his current knowledge and knowledge, he could not see what was famous in this stone.

And when I passed through the treasury, the luster on the stone suddenly dimmed a lot. This was the first time that Zheng Ergou had clearly observed the induction of the Heaven Replenishing Stone Relic into the outside world. As he crept into the aisle between the two rows of warehouses, one hand, still stinking of ink, at least to him, covered his mouth and nose. Then he noticed that he had an extra dagger around his neck, and he had to follow the man into a cramped hut in the far corner.

After being escorted into Qiao Xuebin's bedroom, Qiao Ergongzi's fingertips flicked, and the relics of the Tiantian Stone hidden in Zheng Ergou's chest in a panic somehow fell out and were caught by him steadily.

"Hehe... Presumably the second son of Qiao is the second son......"

Qiao Xuebin took a hemp rope and skillfully tied his hands behind his back. Zheng Ergou knew that he was too negligent and had fallen into the hands of others, and this person's cultivation did not seem to be shallow, so he did not struggle. The biggest reason is that this person must be the legendary Qiao family monk, if he knows anything about this Tiantian Stone, Zheng Ergou still wants to ask for advice.

But just when he wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, Qiao Xuebin suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and muttered, "A man, why is it so fragrant?"

"What... What?" Zheng Ergou looked confused, he had just finished cleaning up the room, and he was sweating...

"Take off your clothes, immediately!" Qiao Xuebin picked up the dagger on the table and said against Zheng Ergou's neck.

"Okay, okay, but I've got it..."

"Don't pretend to be garlic, I can't see what you do, but as a cultivator, it doesn't seem to be difficult to take off your clothes without your hands, right?"

Zheng Ergou had no choice but to do it obediently. As soon as the thoughts in his mind moved, the upper half of his body, which was full of sweat, was exposed. "There's something fragrant there, my lord, you won't be... Yes..."

Zheng Ergou pretended to be calm, and wanted to ridicule Qiao Xuebin for not having any complex for boys. But I suddenly thought of one thing, and what Qiao Xuebin said, I am very fragrant and have a lot to do with it...

"What are you doing! You, you let go!" Qiao Xuebin put one hand under his armpit, as if he was feeling something. He understood that this was his private place, and this was the only place, Qiao Xuebin might say so. However, his secret must not be revealed to him!

However, Qiao Xuebin's ability is far beyond his imagination. Just lightly on his acupuncture point, Zheng Ergou's arm couldn't move. Seeing that the second son of Qiao still put his nose down, he took a deep breath under his armpit that should be full of sweat and sourness, raised his head, and came to a conclusion, "You are neither a human race nor a demon race." ”

"You really dare to come back!" Qiao Xuebin pressed his chin fiercely and released it again.

There was silence for a while, and neither of them spoke. "You, who are you, how do you know these things! ”

Zheng Ergou broke the silence first. He sat on the ground with his hands tied. It seems that he has been seen through and lost his mind.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Xuebin ignored him, but spoke to himself, and the more he spoke, the more excited his tone became, "Dream Clan, you are Dream Clan, right! One of the hundred clans who was expelled ten thousand years ago...

"Don't say it! Speak softly!" Qiao Xuebin said these little-known secrets, and they were also the secrets of Zheng Ergou and his people's life experience. That's right, he Zheng Ergou is not a human race, and he is not an ordinary person. He didn't expect that not long after the mission began, it seemed that today it was about to expose all this!

He was afraid that the wall had ears, and he didn't want to listen to Qiao Xuebin's speculation. The person in front of him made him feel unpredictable. Such a secret is known, what is his teacher!

Qiao Xuebin naturally ignored him. "On the southeastern border of Qinshan Country, at the junction with Demon Mountain, the gathering place of the demon clan, there is an independent city. ”

"There are a lot of races living there, and it's called the City of the Long Night. On this continent, the only place that exists other than the two major races of the human race and the demon race is the Long Night City. Zheng Ming, have you heard of all this?"

Zheng Ergou smiled and shook his head, "You are a little wrong, there is another place, there are those so-called alien existences. It's just that this place has its own world in the mainland, and there are several more layers of prohibitions than the cave sky, and it is impossible for ordinary people to enter it. ”

Qiao Xuebin smiled, "These things were told to you by those people who used you!" he shook his head, and did not continue the topic, but said to himself, "And among those alien races, there is a race called the Dream Clan. The Dream Clan, whose Qimen secret method belongs to the Heavenly Machine Star Sea. On the body of the Dream Clan, there is a meridian, which is about the same place under the armpit, which is the main object of their body refining. ”

"The races of Long Night City have basically lost the innate ability that their ancestors were able to fight for a place in this land. None of them knew what their own race had been. And the entire Qinshan Country, the entire continent, didn't think their existence was strange, it was just a very small number of races except for the human race and the demon race. Only the descendants of a few races still have the instincts of the past. Because these bloodline memories are too deep in the soul. They still possess extraordinary abilities that can only be explained by Taoism. ”

"This kind of ability of theirs has long lost the strength of the past, and it is nothing more than a trick performed by the dignitaries and nobles after tea and dinner. The descendants of the Dream Clan also still have a peculiar ability, the Dafa of Dream Making. As long as each Dream Clan member has gone through a certain amount of cultivation, they can use their unique spiritual veins to urge the Dream Creation Dafa. It's just that there is a huge gap in the intensity of different levels, and it is easy to leave some traces, a strange body fragrance that will not be buried by other breaths. ”

Qiao Xuebin touched Zheng Ergou's arm, and Zheng Ergou sneered, "What do you mean, I escaped from Long Night City, and in that prison enslaved by your so-called orthodox race, there is still an organization that has been planning to rebel for a long time?"

"You have stumbled upon me, and what I said has made you extremely suspicious and curious about where I came from. Unfortunately, you're now in my hands, and my mentor may be looking for you guys. ”

Zheng Ergou snorted coldly and shook his head, "In this case, if you want to kill or chop as you like, the master will not say a word more." ”

"If you hadn't used this high-grade Nan Ke Lu on you, I wouldn't have been able to smell it from your stinky sweat. And, at most, a day or two ago, you just used the Dream Secret Method to create a big and real dream for someone, right?"

Zheng Ming did not speak. Qiao Xuebin suddenly squatted down and punched him hard in the chest. The force of this punch was so great that Zheng Ergou almost didn't catch his breath. When he was very sensible, he didn't scream. Qiao Xuebin said with a hideous face, "You are not the Dream Clan who escaped from the Long Night City! You Dream Clan, as well as other races allied with you, have long since left the imprisoned Lonely City. Maybe a hundred, maybe even hundreds of years. You've been hatching a big conspiracy a long time ago, but I don't think you would know about it with your status. ”

With a wave of his hand, a complete set of divination talismans appeared on the small table, "A few days ago, when I was practicing divination, I strayed into the remnants of the Yinxi Dream Realm, and almost injured you and your master He Yue by mistake! Nan Kelu is the most famous elixir of your dream clan, and it is almost necessary to prepare for the dream Dafa. And you must be using the best Nan Kelu, right? With such a cultivation of yours, you can create such a vast dream, and the power left behind is also so great. ”

"I see you on the border between destruction and peering, pretentious aliens, ghosts in the wilderness of lonely mountains, never in the sight of man, brewing your plots. Send a few people once in a while, just like you. But I'm thinking, you were so easily discovered by me, could their premeditated plan be so oversight? You know, if you leave the Long Night City, if you find a foreign race that is not on the list, those big people will immediately pay attention to it. So, I wonder if they want to show their faces, or if they want to make some deal with the big guys!"

"What kind of list did you just say?" Zheng Ergou spat out a sentence, as if he was testing Qiao Xuebin.

Qiao Xuebin looked at his face and said seriously, "You just said it yourself, there is another place where there is an alien race. And these aliens have long been allied with them, so they can move freely and live in the cave. But other than these races, the others are not on the list!"

"You... How do you know this!" Zheng Ergou asked in disbelief.

"The cave heaven you are talking about, its name is called the fairy land in the Dao, and it is here when you come out of the lower division!"

Qiao Xuebin said sincerely. "Why are you saying this to me!" In the fairyland of the Dao, Zheng Ergou silently wrote down these four words. Master once told him that there is a place here that is beyond the existence of countless regimes on this continent, and it seems to be the abode of the gods, and even the ability to communicate with the upper realm. On the surface, there are countless disputes among the countries on the mainland, but in fact, traces are everywhere. The huge cage of the Long Night City is their handiwork. It turned out that it was called the Wonderland in the Dao, and the person in front of him actually inherited the Wonderland in the Dao! This time, it really hit the head and broke the bloodstream.

It's just that he doesn't understand, why did Qiao Xuebin tell him this? Now it is very clear, he is a member of the Dream Clan, and he has a heavy responsibility. There are also many Dream Clans hidden in various parts of the continent, as well as other alliances, all of which are alien. And his identity has been exposed, it stands to reason that he should immediately escort Zheng Ergou to the Southern Territory of the Long Night City, and this Dao Immortal Realm has always been on the side of order and balance. And their actions are certainly intended to make waves, so they are also hostile to them. Qiao Xuebin's attitude like this, is there still room for negotiation? This made him rekindle a glimmer of hope.

"Because..."Qiao Xuebin was a little choked up somehow, "Because, because my master, after learning the results of my divination that day, I was very worried about what would happen to you aliens who fled from Long Night City." At the same time, I also blame myself for why I haven't found any trace of you for so many years. He... He wants to know what you want to do, force your way out, and set up a forbidden array for divination. Unexpectedly, he just came out of the customs and his mana was disordered, and he was devoured by the big array, and his body was still bedridden....."

Zheng Ergou saw that the corners of Qiao Xuebin's eyes were a little red, Qiao Xuebin sniffed, and said sincerely, "Uncle Shi came to me a few days ago and sighed to me, in fact, the fairyland in the Dao does not have to be so hostile to foreign races... You may not know that the Long Night City, which imprisons the Hundred Clans, was established by the Daozhong Immortal Realm, and there are still many formations waiting for you if you want to escape. In order to maintain stability, the Daozhong Wonderland covered up the expulsion 10,000 years ago... Forget it, you definitely don't know the specifics of these secrets. For these reasons, the Dao Immortal Realm has long been in a hostile state with you......"

"Now that Master Venerable is sick, the already unharmonious fairy land is immediately in chaos, and Uncle Shi has given me such a hint, and I am thinking, in case you exiled races make trouble at this time...... Zheng Ming, you also think about it carefully, those people behind you, at this time when the two countries are in a big war, sent people out, and you were discovered by me so easily, wouldn't it be easier for the spies in the Dao Wonderland to find out? They also want to sit down and have a good talk... I don't want to hurt you, what if our friendship could start with the two of us?"

Qiao Xuebin had already untied the hemp rope on Zheng Ergou's hand. Zheng Ergou listened so much, was silent for a long time, sighed, and said slowly, "Young Master Qiao, I understand some of what you said, and I don't understand some of it. After all, the master below has the grace of reinvention for me, and I am doing things for him... However, we and several allied races have been in exile for more than three hundred years since we escaped from Long Night City, and although I am not very old, I can feel the same way. If we can reconcile, it is indeed what we both want. But I'm a soft-spoken person, and I don't have many years or seniority. And I just got acquainted with Miss Heyue, and the current task still has to be completed. But you can trust me, and I will try to convey your hopes to the elders. I hope this can also be the wish of the fairy land in the Tao. However, the final decision is still up to the two of us. ”

He looked at Qiao Xuebin, who was nodding, and added, "You can trust me completely. My handle is now in your hands. You can send me to Long Night City now, or you can let the people from the Dao Immortal Realm come and touch the melons. I don't dare and there is no need to disobey you. The elders may also have the idea of reconciliation, and I hope that the centuries of hatred between our two families, even thousands of years, may begin to dissolve between us, and the friendship between the two families can also begin with us. ”
