"Little brother Xia Yi, what are you ......" Master Aode looked at Xia Yi's face and asked in surprise.

"It's ...... Alas, it's too much back today. Wait a minute. After Xia Yi finished speaking, he immediately went to clean up the bird feces on his face.

After a while, he came up to Master Odd and said, "Master Odd, I have made you smile. I was cultivating, but the birds on the tree ......."

Xia Yi looked at Master Aode embarrassedly, and Master Aode opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Haha! Little Brother Xia Yi, you are going to be lucky!"

"Luckily, I think it's bird poop luck!" Xia Yi said with an unhappy face.

Master Aode stroked his beard and looked at Xia Yi and said, "You come with me!"

After speaking, he walked next door to Xia Yi's room, he didn't know what was going on, he just followed closely behind Master Aode.

Push open the vermilion mahogany door and enter the room. The layout of this room is roughly the same as that of Xia Yi's room. There is just a bookshelf on the innermost wall, which is filled with all kinds of books and treasures.

Master Odd walked to the bookshelf and moved it with his hand, the stone carving in the third grid on the left. The bookshelf swished, moved to the right, and a secret passage through which only one person passed appeared in front of him.

Xia Yi followed Master Aode into the secret passage, which was filled with torches on both sides and brightly lit. The secret passage is designed like a labyrinth, and it may be difficult to get out of here without the guidance of Master Aodeh.

I walked along the narrow secret passage for more than ten minutes, and I didn't know how many turns I made left and right. Bright sunlight finally appeared in the distance, and as the pace progressed, the hole in the distance grew larger and larger.

"Wow, this is here?" After Xia Yi walked out of the secret passage, he was fascinated by the scenery in front of him.

In the middle is a huge banyan tree, and various shade-loving plants provide it with a green carpet.

There are thousands of strange plants around, some glow blue, some glow red, some are transparent and colorless, and the high and low levels are distinct. The high top looks like the sky at the mouth of the well.

Around the back of this ancient banyan tree, about 100 meters behind, a shuttle-shaped upright transparent stone. A stone is divided into two colors, red and blue on the left and right, and the exterior exudes the smell of the corresponding color.

"This is our important place, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit, this tree has a history of thousands of years, and that red and blue transparent stone, there is no record of when it existed, it is the magic weapon I told you, it is called Huijing Stone!" Master Aode introduced this place to Xia Yi.

"Huijing Stone, it looks like it has a lot of energy!" Xia Yi said with a smile as he looked at Huijing Stone.

"That's right, the Essence Stone can gather the essence of the sun and the moon, and it exudes a pure air mass around it. It is of great help to cultivation. Master Odd stroked his beard and said.

"Then Master Aode, don't you have a lot of masters in your family?" Xia Yi asked him curiously.

Master Aode shook his head and turned around and said, "If we have a so-called master, then do we still need to be afraid of the Golden Axe Gang? This Convergence Essence Stone only increases the cultivation speed, but it cannot make people reborn. Our family has not had a cultivation genius in more than a hundred years. Even if there is such a magic weapon, it is only slightly stronger than ordinary people, plus we are mainly engaged in business, and there are not many opportunities for cultivation. So this time I'm pinning my hopes on you. ”

"For the sake of Ziruo, I must also succeed. Xia Yi said with a somewhat gloomy face.

"Only this motivation can make you miraculous, so I chose to help you. Another function here is that if something happens, it can be used as a place of refuge to protect the family from the catastrophe. Therefore, I hope that the little brother will keep it secret in the future. Master Aode stared at Xia Yi and said.

"Don't worry, you've helped me so much. How can I take revenge?" Xia Yi gave Master Aode a satisfactory answer, and thought to himself: "The labyrinthine secret passage, even if someone knows about it, how can they get in without you leading the way?"

"Then you can cultivate here in the future!" said Master Aode, who was about to turn around and leave.

"Master Aode, then how do I get out?" Xia Yi called out to him.

"After three months, you can go out again, you can cultivate here with peace of mind, and I will send someone to deliver the food. With that, Master Odd walked into the secret passage.

"What? Let me stay here by myself for three months? This old man, is he afraid that I won't be able to kill Dai Zong, or is he afraid that I will take the secret path every day to remember the route?" Xia Yi thought to himself.

He then walked towards the Convergence Stone, and slowly he felt a powerful force getting closer and closer to him.

When he walked near the Essence Stone, he felt that all the pores of his body automatically opened slightly, and he had already begun to absorb the breath of the Essence Stone.

So he sat down nearby and started to adjust the air. I saw a stream of pure air mass starting to pour into his body along his mouth and pores. What is different from the previous one is the air current, sometimes warm, sometimes cool. He was constantly moving and mingling in his body, and his body felt very uncomfortable.

"Acting Gang Master, are you here? I heard that something happened to the gang recently?"

"Master Odd is really well-informed, and everything has been arranged. Let's get down to business first, I'll have to get back to business as soon as possible. Dai Zong replied coldly to Master Aode.

"Look, can we still charge the fee this year as in previous years?" said Master Aode, pleading with Daizong.

"Master Ode, since you already know that something happened to us, I might as well say it directly. We came here to talk to us about the price, and my fourth brother came here and died. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to say this at this time?" said Daizong with some heavy eyebrows.

"Alas, I am also very sad to hear about Su Wu's incident, it is indeed because of us, and what happened at our doorstep, we must also be responsible, do you think this will work, how about 120,000 gold coins a year?" said Master Aode.

"120,000 yuan, Master Aode, you are not a person with bad money, because tens of thousands of open mouths are not a loss of your identity?" Dai Zong looked at Master Aode and said impatiently.

"I am not satisfied with the helper, business has not been doing well recently, and profits are gradually declining. I hope you can help us at this time. "Master Odd is still praying for Daizong again.

Our brothers are now spending more and more. I helped you, who will help me then? No one will help me, so I have to stop some goods to cover the expenses, Master Aode, don't you say?"

At this time, Master Odd didn't know what to say, just lowered his head and thought.

After a while, Dai Zong got up and said: "Master Aode, you and I are both happy people, 150,000, agree that we will continue to cooperate, if you don't agree, we have to think of other ways." ”
