"No, let's just say it here. If I can come in handy, we'll work together. Sima Yin shook his head and shook off Zheng Ergou's hand.

Zheng Ergou glared at him and sighed helplessly, "What are you afraid of?"

"Your master, what kind of cultivation is it now?"

"A little taller than you, four layers of condensation. Zheng Ergou replied.

"Compared with the fourth layer of condensation and the third layer of condensation, the strength of refining is several grades higher. I had long expected that the person who dared to choose this task would definitely not be ordinary in terms of talent. You're the last one to take action, and she's all there to get there. I can't be disgraced in front of my classmates. Sima Yin said stubbornly. Zheng Ergou thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it." But first tell me about your background, specifically, how your guide died, so that we can trust each other.

Then I will tell you the plan, including you, of course. We may just need one more person on board. ”

Sima Yin glanced at him, still nodding a little reluctantly. But as soon as I told my story, I couldn't help but be moved.

He wasn't actually from the area around Blackwater City, his hometown was in Sun Moon City on the northwest border. Before the guide entered his life, he had been sending people under the fence, following his father's friends to do business with the Northwest Trading Company to make a living. When he was very young, his family was not yet in the middle of the road, and his father was a big salt merchant in Sun Moon City. The Sima family once had the opportunity to be recognized by the imperial court and promoted to a family. It was only when he was two or three years old that his father got into a verbal altercation with someone and seriously injured him. didn't know that the other party also had some powerful people, and the government soon sent someone to arrest him and put him in prison. Soon after, news broke that he had committed suicide in prison.

But it's not over yet. The other party came to their door again and drafted an IOU, suing the official Sima family for owing their family a huge amount of money, and Sima Yin's father held a grudge against the other party because he was unable to repay. This case has always become one of the biggest unjust cases in Sun Moon City, and those in the know know that the Sima family was simply wronged. But so far there is no way to rehabilitate. The family property was sold, the mother committed suicide, and the former servants were scattered. Fortunately, a business friend of my father at the time accepted him. Entrusted to him to raise a little, let him follow him to live every day and every night, and make a living with difficulty.

It wasn't until about half a year ago that the guide came into his life. At that time, he and his father's friend followed a caravan to do a gold business in Daheng Kingdom, in the western part of the Qinshan Kingdom, where the value of the local area was temporarily greatly depreciated. On the way home, I encountered a rare sandstorm in the famous Onishi Desert between the two countries. When Sima Yin was separated from his peers and disappeared, it was the guiders who helped him in a sand cave where he was hiding, and gave him the water he needed most at the moment, and sent him back to his companions.

The sandstorm lasted for five days. When he was sent to his counterparts who were hiding in a sand cave and had run out of water. Even though their mouths were thirsty, they surrounded him and the guide, and in the process of dodging, a large number of the items in their bags were lost. Did Sima Yin see them?

When Sima Yin said no, everyone was like a collapse. After all, it's a gold deal. If you lose it, you will lose all your money, and you will go to jump off the building collectively. The guide was quick to say that he could try to help the travelers retrieve their bags. Sima Yin was rescued by the guide and trusted him very much, so although everyone didn't believe that this person had any special skills, he saved their little brother after all, so he simply used the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and pretended to be grateful and asked him for help.

They sent two men from the sand cave to follow the guide, one of whom was an old friend of Old Sima. The guide quickly found three places, where the windswept luggage and dead horses were scattered. And then... The Guiding Men killed another with a sword. And said to the man who was already frightened that Sima Yin didn't have to suffer with him anymore, and finding the luggage was a favor he gave them in exchange for Sima Yin to travel with him. The old friend was frightened, and the guide stuffed a bag of money into his hand in time, and pointed to the corpse next to him that had an excited expression and had not yet reacted. He understood what the guide meant, and the guide spoke to him with kind words, but did not explain his true identity. After receiving his assurance, the guide told him where he could meet him, and left the Great Western Desert.

After Sima's father's old friend cleaned up the body, he returned to the sand cave. After thinking of a reason to bury the cause of the man's death, everyone went to the three places to retrieve their bags. Fortunately, they found their jobs again, and everyone only felt sorry for this person's death, and they didn't have much sadness, and after bringing his share of gold to his family, they went their separate ways. After returning home that night, his uncle, who had been with him for more than ten years, told him about it, and said a simple goodbye to Sima Yin, who was already a little tired of his current life, and went without hesitation to find his guide.

"Did he tell you that man? Also, how did he die, do you know who did it?"

Zheng Ergou asked a series of questions like a cannonball, and Sima Yin sighed and explained one by one.

"Yes, my uncle didn't tell me, it was the guide who told me later. But in addition to this incident, the dream Lao Wu in your mouth is actually really good to me, he shouldn't be a bad person. We lived in a Taoist temple in the mountains, and I learned the things he taught me very seriously, so I made rapid progress at first. It's a pity that we've only been together for about a month, just... Alas"

He shook his head, sighed, and continued, "Actually, I don't know how he died. We have been cultivating in my family's backmountain Taoist temple, and our residence is very secluded, and basically no one will disturb us. And it is more conducive to the release of the dream creation Dafa. It's just that I meditated in the secret room that afternoon and didn't wait for him to come back. In the evening, my instincts told me that something might have happened to him. And that morning was very strange, he didn't tell me what he was going to do before he went out, but told me not to leave the cultivation room that day. But in the middle of the night, I couldn't take it anymore, and my instincts grew stronger and stronger, and I rushed out of the secret room. Just by the guidance of the senses......"

"Finally, I found him on the other side of the back mountain on the shore of a clear spring. The moonlight was fine that day, and I could see it very clearly. He moved a small chair and sat next to Qingquan, holding a fishing rod in his hand. I was strange because I grew up here and I knew there were no fish in this spring at all. I approached him, and that's when I noticed that he was no longer breathing. He sat in his chair with his eyes closed, his expression smiling a little. ”

"I wasn't too upset, or too surprised. Maybe my gut told me that this was going to happen. But... What's even stranger is that when I picked up his rod, I saw that there could be no hooked fish on it, and no bait hanging from the hook. When I finally dragged his body back to the temple, it was already the next morning. Because we haven't been out of the secret room for almost a month, the viewer told me that that day is this year's Qingming Festival. They buried him the same day, and I should leave the temple and find another way. ”

"However, just as I had finished packing my bags in the chamber, the watchman stopped me and told me what he had found on the guide. Although the disciples in the ordinary Taoist temple did not know the real Taoism, with their own set of techniques, they could also see some clues from the corpse. He could faintly sense that the part of the guide's body that he called the 'sea of knowledge' had completely dried up. I didn't understand ..... at the time."

Zheng Ergou suddenly realized and interjected, "That missing sea of consciousness has turned into a spirit body and entered your divine consciousness!"

"That's right, that's how it looks like now. After I left, I planned to continue my cultivation in a small abandoned temple in the back mountain. However, that night, I suddenly felt a wave of extreme tiredness, which you should know is relatively rare for monks who have undergone physical refinement. I fell asleep and fell asleep again. I met Master Mori... Master Mori knew that he was dead, and in his words, he was now talking to the remnant soul of the guide who had wandered between heaven and earth and had not yet entered reincarnation, but he didn't know it at the time, in fact, I heard everything he said. In the next few days, he would come to dream every night, and leaked some things about the Dream Clan's underground palace, and I knew that there was such a place in the world where monks gathered and mana was boundless. He said that he would take good care of the family of the guide, and said a lot about a hundred tribes holy palace, the founder Menghe, I didn't understand well. ”

"Then did he say anything about Meng Lao Wu's death?" Zheng Ergou asked with a serious expression.

Sima Yin shook his head, "No, Master Sen doesn't seem to be surprised by his death. It wasn't until the last day he discovered the anomaly that he said that he would personally find me and teach me cultivation through the Dafa of Dream Making. The next night, he discovered that the guide had placed the remnant soul in my consciousness. However, he didn't care, but because I had learned about the underground palace for a long time with other registered disciples, he said that he wanted to cultivate me well. And even if he knew exactly how my guide died, he probably wouldn't have told me. For your sake, that's all I can tell you. ”

Two years ago, Sen Qian sent a total of three groups of guides, arranged in Qinshan Country, with about 20 people. Many of them grew up playing with Zheng Ergou when they were children. All of them are people who obey Sen Qian's orders in the Hundred Clans Sacred Palace, and they are children who were rescued from Long Night City more than ten years ago, so after entering the Dream Palace and being sensible, their feelings for Sen Qian are naturally unusual. Of course, Zheng Ergou does not belong to this kind of person, and his background is even more special.

And it wasn't until half a year ago that he ordered separate actions to find suitable registered disciples.

He sighed deeply, it had been months since his former playmate died, and now he learned that it was such a bizarre way to die... What was he trying to imply?

In the clear spring, when the water is clear, there is no fish, and above the fishing rod, only the willing person takes the bait. Zheng Ergou really didn't understand what he wanted to express in the two most obvious signs before he died. But he was sure that it must be a hint at something going on in the Dream Palace.

"I see. Since Meng Lao Wu is your guide, then I feel that I can completely trust you. Zheng Ergou patted him on the shoulder and suppressed his thoughts first. There was another thought in my mind: they hadn't been home for a long time, and they didn't know what had happened in the Dream Palace recently... In this way, he should pull Sima Yin by his side. He hopes to get some information from Dream Five's bizarre death. Not only for the dead friends, but also for the unknown secrets hidden in the forest dive and the dream palace.

Sima Yin nodded silently, his eyes seemed to be a little distracted. Zheng Ergou paused and told him about the plan they had designed.

The whole plan is not easy to say, but it is not difficult to say. Zheng Ergou and Qiao Xuebin have nothing to do, they just want to help He Yue escape from the search of border patrols. But it was a test of He Yue's ability in all aspects, especially when dealing with those two female cultivators. Zheng Ergou had temporarily taught her some fist and foot kung fu, but she was still a little unsure. He Yue generously said that he was not afraid, so that there was a sense of test. Otherwise, Master will see that she has completed the task with the help of others.

Even so, Zheng Ergou was still not at ease. No, there happened to be a like-minded person. Therefore, he planned to hand over the main part of the plan to Sima Yin and He Yue to complete together. After all, although he is not very good at it, after all, he has practiced swords, and he has been practicing for a long time, and his fist and foot kung fu is definitely better than He Yue, but his cultivation is a little lower. If the two of them can act together. Zheng Ergou can be regarded as reassuring.

From the time Zheng Ergou told their plan, Sima Yin's expression was a little gloomy. After speaking, Sima Yin took a step back. Lowering his head and thinking carefully, his expression suddenly became a little painful. Finally, he said, "No. I figured it out, this task, I won't take it. ”

Zheng Ergou was anxious, "I'll tell you the plan, how do you say that you can change? Because Meng Lao Wu is your guide, so I trust you so much, you just give up?"

Sima Yin kept sighing, and squirmed for a long time before saying, "Your plan is too clever. I'm just a liability. You don't have to persuade me, I know. Your young lady's cultivation is also higher than mine, if she really fights with those barbarian nobles, I can only hold back. Moreover, I just followed you to get some light and rob you of your credit. If I and He Yue were in competition, and the master chose me as his true disciple, then my conscience would be even more unhappy. This kind of cheeky thing, I still don't do it. ”

"I won't interfere with you. Now that I still have time, I'll just go on another task. With that, Sima Yin turned around and wanted to leave.

Zheng Ergou felt that he really couldn't figure it out, so he pulled him over angrily, "What's wrong with you? I'm afraid of a fart! Didn't Sen Qian say that he wanted to cultivate you well? Are you worthy of him with this kind of character? Are you still worthy of your guide? Indecisive, and do you still look like a man? You said that you are cheeky with us, so don't you feel ashamed when you can't communicate with Sen Qian?"

Sima Yin was speechless by him, and could only hold back a sentence, "Don't persuade me anymore! How to explain to the master, I will solve it myself! Let me go!" He began to struggle hard.

Zheng Ergou scolded, let out a long sigh, and let go of his hand helplessly. watched Sima Yin timidly run away. Shaking his head, he slowly turned to leave. In his heart, there was a pimple in his heart because of Sima Yin and his life experience, which became a matter of his heart, and he couldn't understand it.
