On the afternoon of the third day, Xia Fanxing agreed with the other two in advance, went to the Hufu store as promised, and took away the boots ordered by the woman beside Xinheng. In order not to be recognized by the people of Xinheng Dao for the first time, he put on the horse mask that Shang Meng gave him in the black prison.

The hotel where the people of Xinheng Dao live is a well-known inn outside the East City, called Yuelai Inn. The inn was much bigger than they were staying in, with several floors. Just looking at the guests who are eating snacks downstairs, you know that the grade of Yuelai Inn is not low, and there are no vulgar people. The interior of the inn is ingenious, and the environment is also very elegant. Xinheng took the woman to live here, so happy.

Xia Fanxing slapped his head fiercely and suppressed these distracting thoughts. But the curiosity in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

As soon as he walked in, he was stopped by a small guy guarding the door, he looked at Xia Fanxing's robe, and glanced at the mask on his face in surprise. Squeezed out a smile and said, "Dao, Dao Chief, have you made an appointment before?"

Xia Fanxing saw that he had been staring at the big wooden box with boots in his hand with some embarrassment. He was a little puzzled, why did he have to make a reservation to stay in a hotel?

"Dao Chief, I'm sorry... This is the rule of the shop, you shouldn't be from this place, right? No matter how rich or poor you are here, you still have to make a reservation in advance..."The man smiled. Xia Fanxing's face sank and said, "I'm here to deliver the goods, busy with you!"

Unexpectedly, the man had no intention of moving his leg at all, and looked at him with a dry smile on his face. Xia Fanxing suddenly understood that this guy wanted to make some extra money. Within a few days of coming to Chang'an City, I had to talk with money everywhere. Xia Fanxing was a little angry in his heart, and even more heartbroken that the silver taels that Hua Rongyu gave him had already used a lot.

But in desperation, he still took out a piece of broken silver, secretly stuffed it into his hand, and went upstairs angrily.

Walking to the guest room on the third floor, the corridor outside the room is elegant, and the surroundings are very quiet. Xia Fanxing suddenly felt that such an environment was indeed worthy of the name of reservation. The master is not in charge of affairs in the sect, but he actually came here to enjoy happiness with the beauties? The heart balance in Xia Fanxing's memory, although he is not a serious person, he is also very serious in his work, otherwise he would not be able to become an elder of the Tu Feng Sect. Looking at the luxurious specifications of this inn, he felt even more confused.

After a few knocks, the door to the guest room opened as if the wind had blown it open, and I didn't ask who it was. Seeing this, Xia Fanxing understood that this must be Xinheng's guest room. He moved slowly, and suddenly felt a little afraid to see the scene he had envisioned - a man and a woman in disheveled clothes, sitting on a bed and even panting...

But what he saw next made him even more puzzled about the relationship between the two. There were two beds in the room, and the girl slept on one bed, her head tilted to Xia Fanxing's side, as if she was having a sweet dream. And the Heart Hengdao stood by her bedside, leaning against the window, looking at her calmly. Suddenly there was a gust of wind outside, and the window closed in response to the sound of the wind. The sleeping woman suddenly moved her lips, Xinheng walked to her bedside, picked up the quilt and covered her bed. He looked at her quietly and smiled.

Xia Fanxing felt that he had been stupid just now, and he didn't know how long he had been watching. Hurriedly stepped in, and when he saw Xin Heng turning his soft gaze over, he was shocked in his heart. But Xia Fanxing is a person who knows how to improvise, so he hurriedly bowed, and used his spiritual power to control his vocal cords, making his voice sound very gloomy. You, the cotton boots that were ordered in our store three days ago, the villain sent them. ”

Zhou is Xinheng's common surname, Xia Fanxing had an idea, and felt that Xinheng would not say his name outside, so he called him Zhou Daochang.

"Oh, thank you so much, this bit of broken silver is for you, take it. Xinheng said softly, making a gesture to signal him not to speak loudly to wake up the girl, and took out a handful of broken silver and gave it to him.

Xia Fanxing didn't know how to continue to answer for a while, and hesitated for a while. This is enough for Xinheng to see the flaw. The middle-aged Taoist priest chuckled lightly and said, "What's the matter?

Xia Fanxing regretted it in his heart, and the general delivery person received a reward, and he could admit his father and thank him on the spot, how could he be so confused?" "No, no, no, Zhou Daochang is that you are too generous, the villain is flattered, flattered!"

He smiled again and again, and Xin Heng also smiled, pointing to the mask on his face and saying, "This one on your face is a soul seduction horse face, right? This thing should be unlucky when worn on the face." Or is this a folk custom of the Tang Dynasty?"

Oops. Xia Fanxing heard Xin Heng mention his mask, and secretly said something bad in his heart. What a smart person is Xinheng? His little wit was learned from his master. Listening to his tone, it is already very abnormal. But where did he show his flaws?

"Yes, this is the custom of our Hu people. "Xia Fanxing is dual-purpose, and the more flaws are exposed. Even he didn't know what he was answering.

Xin Heng was very patient, a curious expression appeared on his face, and he didn't intend to let Xia Fanxing leave, he stretched out his hand, and after the door closed, he said, "Hu customs." Well, the workmanship is really good-looking, can you take it off and give it to Poor Dao to take a closer look?"

Xia Fanxing bowed his head and was silent, Xin Heng said this, he must have seen the clues. But he was surprisingly not particularly flustered inside. After hesitating for a while, Xia Fanxing didn't plan to speculate with Master anymore, after all, he came today to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Master. He slowly took off his mask and handed it to Xinheng.

After seeing Xia Fanxing's appearance that he didn't know what to say, Xinheng Daoist nodded, first put a finger to his mouth, and said softly: "Be quiet, don't wake up the person in your dream." ”

"Hmm... Master, who is she?" Xia Fanxing quickly adjusted his heart, and asked his own question in a low voice.

"Let's talk about you first. Xin Heng's voice was also very small, but both the master and apprentice tacitly did not use the sound transmission technique. "Now that I think about it, Fanxing, you saw it as a teacher that night?"

"Yes, Master. I beg your pardon for being rude. ”

"Rude is indeed rude, how dare you do this. However, when I was in the store, I felt that someone was peeking, but I was distracted at the time and couldn't sense who it was. So, I didn't stop you in time. Xinheng said. Xia Fanxing didn't expect Master to be so calm, shouldn't he be surprised that he appeared here?

"But after the teacher comes back, he will naturally pay more attention to the vicinity of the inn. The fist method is for the teacher to teach you, right? Among them, the fist intent, after being proficient, you can easily recognize the body, as soon as you go downstairs, you will be discovered by the divine consciousness I left, but I didn't expect it to be my apprentice. Xinheng shook his head and said with a smile.

"Moreover, you still call me Daoist Zhou, when did I tell the boss about my common surname?" Xia Fanxing blushed when he said this.

"Master, why aren't you surprised at all? That day, you told me the news that the Xuan Neng Immortal Master had let me enter the secret realm. It stands to reason that the apprentice should still be in the secret realm now. Xia Fanxing saw that he had already been discovered by Xinheng, but the master was still so calm, and couldn't help asking.

"I've known what happened in your secret realm. Xin Heng raised his head, thoughtfully, and the words he said surprised Xia Fanxing. He paused for a moment and continued: "That night, when your Senior Sister Hou came back from abroad, the person who escorted her was the Yuanying Monk named Li Wuxin, and the array disc he used was mismanipulated by him and teleported to the front of Guanmei Peak's array eye. After the retreat, the Xuan Neng Immortal Master was guarding the peak for the teacher, and I found him and Hou Ying. He reported his identity, and Hou Ying told his teacher everything that happened. Moreover, before you entered the secret realm, the Xuanneng Immortal Master handed over the Yongmei Seal to me for safekeeping for some reason. When Hou Ying re-entered the secret realm that day, it was opened for the teacher. ”

"Array plate manipulation error?" Xia Fanxing repeated in some surprise, Xin Heng immediately made a silent gesture, glanced at the girl who was still sleeping on the bed, and looked a little stern. Xia Fanxing hurriedly apologized, "Master, you have told me something about the array plate before. This thing is very easy to manipulate, unless there is not enough aura to infuse?"

"Yes. It's strange that a primordial monk would make such a mistake. And when I saw him at the time, Li Wuxin's face was flushed, and he was sweating profusely. I don't know if I was scared or what. This person was born with a demon, and he practiced the Yin and Yang Sect's Yin and Yang Secret Method, and I clearly felt a kind of Yin Qi gushing out of his body, causing Li Wuxin to be very weak. And you, Senior Sister Hou, have a seven-killing star qi that is even more powerful. Xin Heng recalled the scene of that day and said with some doubts.

Elder Li, Senior Sister Hou, and I haven't heard Hua Rongyu mention what Xin Heng said, could it be that Elder Li didn't talk to Hua Rongyu?...... Suddenly, an extremely terrible thought flashed through Xia Fanxing's mind. But he was immediately left behind.

"Master... I'm in the Yin Sha Sect..."Xia Fanxing thought that Xin Heng had learned from Hou Ying that he had been in the Yin Sha Sect for so long, and all kinds of things about Ji Yanliu, Hua Rongyu and the others suddenly became unspeakable.

Xin Heng pressed his hand down, and said jokingly, "It's natural to fall into a place where there are a lot of beautiful women, and you can't help yourself." ”

Xia Fanxing lowered his head in shame and said, "Master, the apprentice is incompetent..."

Xin Heng smiled and jokingly asked, "That aspect of incompetence?"

Xia Fanxing was stunned for a moment, and also smiled, "No, that's good!

"I can't help myself, I can't blame you. Xin Heng sighed and said, "In this case, it is better to be wishful than reluctant." ”

Xinheng is always such an enlightened master, Xia Fanxing thought that he had interacted with Han Ningxue before, and the master didn't say much. He has always been very relieved of Xia Fanxing. This is also the reason why Xia Fanxing is willing to confide in Master everything that has happened in the past month. After hearing this, Xia Fanxing smiled, thinking of Ji Yanliu's lively and lovely appearance, although the relationship between the two of them had gone through so much to get to this point, he still said happily: "The apprentice understands, just as the master said." ”

Xinheng was stunned for a moment, laughed, and said, "Hi." It's better to be a young person. See one and love the other, how chic and free! In the future, we must find an opportunity to let the teacher meet. However, don't mention this matter in the sect!"

Hearing the master mention the little junior sister, Xia Fanxing found that he didn't care so much anymore, and he also laughed.

Immediately, Xia Fanxing told Xin Heng about the reason why he appeared here-Qin Daxia, Drunken Immortal Tower, mysterious organizations and the like. The only thing that was omitted was the unjustified disaster that he suffered in the Yin Sha Sect, and there was really no need to talk about the indescribable days in the black prison. just said that he was tired of staying in the Yin Sha Sect, and wanted to come out to understand the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty.

Xinheng listened patiently. At this time, the woman on the bed suddenly turned over, Xin Heng immediately turned around, half-squatted down to look at her, and found that her lips trembled even more violently. Fanxing, take out the blanket from the cloth bag on the table and cover it on the bed. Xin Heng put his hand on the already thick quilt, showed a distressed expression, and instructed Xia Fanxing.

This strange girl is as precious as Xin Heng's heart, and Xia Fanxing naturally doesn't dare to slack off. After covering the woman with a thick blanket, she looked at Xin Heng, who was half-squatting on the ground, her face was full of gentleness, and she couldn't help asking, "Master, how is the sect lately? Why are you here at this time? And this young lady is..."

Xin Heng raised his hand, interrupted him, and said, "I'll talk to you about her when I have a chance to talk to you later." Xin Heng saw that the girl was sleeping peacefully again, stood up, her face became a little gloomy, and said, "The organization you just mentioned is for the sake of the sect this time. I only caught a few loose cultivators before mentioning that the people of the Tang Dynasty seem to have this organization, and it is related to An Lushan. I didn't expect that it really exists when I heard you say it, and the scale is not small!"

Xia Fanxing asked nervously, "Master, such a big organization was really planned by An Lushan?" According to Qin Daxia's inference, the high-level of that organization is likely to be a senior member of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and he is a friend of the person who is currently investigating the apprentice. An Lushan usually stays in the three towns in the north, so he shouldn't have such a great influence in Chang'an, right? Besides, State Minister Yang Guozhong and An Lushan have always been at odds, and Yang Xiang is in charge of the three provinces and six departments, so how can he tolerate dissidents in the court?"

Xinheng sighed and said, "As you said." It's just possible that An Lushan planned it. But every man has his own way. This organization instigates ignorant and foolish people to become traitors, and it is really despised. I am afraid that there will be no chaos in the world, and it will be even more shameless than the real chaotic ministers and thieves! Several elders in the sect have reached a consensus with the sect master, if this organization is indeed related to An Lushan, all his help will be cut off immediately!"

Xia Fanxing nodded and said, "Master, then Fan Yang's side, the Heaven Sacrifice Array has been completed?"

Xin Heng said in a deep voice, "Because of this, someone was sent to order Yun Ming and them to stop work a few days ago. The time of this ceremony will also be delayed, An Lushan has no objection, he said that it is impossible for him to do such a shameless thing. Therefore, as a teacher, he must find out about this matter as soon as possible, and he must not miss the great cause of the sect. ”

You still call it as soon as possible!" Xia Fanxing glanced at the girl who was shrunk in the thick quilt, and teased in his heart.

"And the sect master said that if this matter has nothing to do with An Lushan, for this organization, Tu Feng Sect will also stand on the side of the imperial court. ”

"It really should be. Master, the apprentice and Qin Daxia also happen to be investigating this matter, or we will take care of each other in the past few days, exchange information, and catch the traitor in the DPRK as soon as possible!" Xia Fanxing proposed with great interest.

Xin Heng shook his head and said, "The sect also sent Senior Brother Xinyun to accompany the teacher. And the entire sect is only known to the teacher about you and Hou Ying, so it can't be like this. Moreover, Li Wuxin's explanation is that because An Lushan's incident has changed the luck of the Yexin Sect, and the secret realm is originally a land robbery, it is easy to cause heavenly punishment, which will bring down your heavenly tribulation in advance and cause the abnormal changes in it. This explanation sounds plausible at first glance, but in fact there are some loopholes. ”

"Why did Master say that?"

"It's too complicated for you to explain, and you're not going to understand it, and I'm just scratching the surface. Your heart and her uncle are still in retreat to prepare for the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, and after this matter has passed, the master plans to ask her to deduce the qi numbers of the eight secret realms with the Heavenly Machine Dao technique. Xinheng said with some heaviness.

"Fanxing, since you are also here, it is not impossible for us to investigate this matter together. Seeing that Xia Fanxing was a little lost, Xinheng said, "Your Uncle Xinyun and I are investigating the line of An Lushan, mainly investigating people who have connections with An Lushan in the court, and you and that Qin Daxia are different from the places we investigated. ”

A round copper coin half the size of a palm appeared in Xinheng's hand, and four golden inscriptions were engraved around it "Taihao Lingbao". He stuffed it into Xia Fanxing's hand and said, "You have seen this, the first generation of sect secret orders in the sect." Passing on credit. You are probably the first disciple of the sixth generation to use the secret order. ”

Xia Fanxing looked at the copper coin, took a deep breath, and said, "When the Seven Absolute Ancestors in ancient times were still slaughtering pigs and selling meat butchers, they used this copper coin with the words Taihao Lingbao?"

"That's right, this is the highest level secret order in the sect, a batch made ten years ago. Xin Heng approached Xia Fanxing and said, "It can be used four times in total, and the transmission of the message is absolutely secret and will never be discovered." If you take down that Boss Duan, tell me the news you get. The other three chances are up to you. ”

"Understood," Xia Fanxing accepted the secret order. Xin Heng's eyes seemed to let him go, he glanced at the girl on the bed, and then turned his gaze to the master.

Xin Heng understood what he meant, sighed, and said, "A friend of the teacher." She suffered from a rare disease and was weak and afraid of cold. If I'm not mistaken, she's in her thirties, and you'll call her sister. ”

Master's eyes were always as gentle as water when he looked at the sleeping girl. He continued to say to Xia Fanxing: "You came over like this today, if you are seen by your Uncle Xinyun, it will be difficult to explain. So in the future, let's use the secret order to get in touch. ”
