The appointment and dismissal of a city defender is never a trivial matter.

Especially at this time, how dare Qi Qiao be so picky?

Zhong Zhengnan was very puzzled.

"In fact, after my husband died in the war, in order to compensate, the adjudication department promised me an idle position, which was of a high level, but I didn't agree, but chose here, and chose my husband's favorite place during his lifetime!"

Qi Qiao looked at Zhong Zhengnan, who was suspicious and difficult to ask, and said, "You must be eager to ask, in this case, why did I make such a decision?" You probably know that if you don't become a city defender, you can't stay here! ”

Zhong Zhengnan nodded, and Qi Qiao continued: "It would be great if Chibi didn't save me back then, but our children!" That way, you won't have to suffer for so many years! ”

"Huh?"

Zhong Zhengnan thought that he had misheard, and looked up at the beautiful woman holding the teacup with both hands.

Qi Qiao's face was calm, he looked directly into Zhong Zhengnan's eyes, and said, "It's what you think, it's very ...... Irony! I love my husband deeply, but I have a child with Chibi, I have been thinking, I decided to stay in Xiangfan, is it more love or more guilt? ”

Hearing this, Zhong Zhengnan's eyes widened, coughed dryly, and said, "Qi ...... Why is Mrs. Qi telling me this? ”

Without waiting for Qi Qiao to answer, Tian Yan behind Zhong Zhengnan spoke: "I've only met once, and the friendship is so good?" ”

Qi Qiao smiled faintly and said extremely calmly: "I don't know why Chibi didn't come in person, but since you have a relationship with him, I want you to bring a message for me, I want to see him, I want him to know that child!" ”

Zhong Zhengnan didn't know how to answer, and instinctively looked back at his senior sister. Tian Yan glanced at her junior brother, turned to look at Qi Qiao, and said, "My junior brother is not your microphone, will you go by yourself if you want to see it?" ”

Qi Qiao ignored Tian Yan's words, stared at Zhong Zhengnan and emphasized: "If you want, please tell him that I am waiting for him at the source of all this!" ”

Zhong Zhengnan didn't agree, nor did he refuse, but just watched Qi Qiao, who got up and walked out of the door after speaking, leave, and was speechless for a long time, just sighed in his heart, life is like a play!

After Qi Qiao left, Tian Yan came to Zhong Zhengnan, picked up the silver-blue meteorite iron with an expressionless face, nodded slightly, and said, "The thing is really good, you can get it, and your skills are not bad." Tell me honestly, what else is there to hide from me, you 'worked hard to write' overnight, what is it that you wrote? ”

Zhong Zhengnan knew that something was wrong, looked at his nose and nose, and practiced closed-mouth meditation.

Tian Yan continued: "I'm curious, why was there such a big movement in the Huzui Peak that day? What did you write? If you change to such a precious thing, you can still make Qi Qiao promise to do things for you! ”

Zhong Zhengnan thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind to tell his senior sister about Zhong Kui's existence, because only in this way could he dispel his sister's doubts, and let his sister rest assured that he would let himself repair Linghai.

After making up his mind, Zhong Zhengnan got up and ran to close the door of the store, and then came to Tian Yan and said, "Senior sister, you have to promise me that no matter what you see, you must keep it a secret for me!" ”

Tian Yan smiled and nodded, even more curious in her heart.

Zhong Zhengnan sighed and said, "Come out!" ”

A golden light swept out from Zhong Zhengnan's eyebrows, and slowly condensed a figure beside him.

Tian Yan looked at this scene, her eyes widened, and she frowned even more. As a great disciple of Fu Sheng, he has naturally heard some unknown secrets, such as Zhong Kui, one of the patrol envoys of the underworld, who was removed from the divine register, such as the chaos in the underworld twenty years ago, such as the reincarnation of the Emperor Xudu......

"Zhong ...... Zhong Kui? ”

Zhong Kui laughed, "I didn't expect Miss Tian to recognize Ben...... I got it! ”

Zhong Zhengnan looked at his senior sister and said, "What senior sister wants to ask, he did it!" ”

Tian Yan gritted her teeth, ignoring Zhong Kui being at the scene, and said to Zhong Zhengnan bluntly: "Do you know that he is a criminal wanted in the sky and on the ground?" Do you know that if you are involved with him, once you let other people know, what will you face? ”

Then, Tian Yan stared at Zhong Kui again and said, "What do you just find him, you will kill him!" ”

Zhong Zhengnan could see that the senior sister was really angry this time, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Tian Yan's arm, pulled Tian Yan back to the chair and sat down, "Senior sister dissipates her anger, I know what you said......"

"You know it's not far from him!"

Zhong Kui shook his head helplessly, and returned directly to Zhong Zhengnan Linghai, leaving only one sentence.

"You woman, you're too unkind!"

After Zhong Kui disappeared, Tian Yan still stared at Zhong Zhengnan and asked, "How long have you been with him?" ”

Zhong Zhengnan didn't dare to sit down, and said honestly: "Before I practiced!" ”

Subsequently, Zhong Zhengnan remembered the conversation between Liu Danqing and himself when he was in Xiyi, and hurriedly added: "Master knows about this, and Uncle Gong also knows!" ”

"Really? What do they think about this? ”

Seeing that the senior sister's solemn expression eased a little, Zhong Zhengnan also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They all think it's a good thing!" Master also said that he was too busy to take time out to guide me in my cultivation, and it was a good thing to have Zhong Kui by his side! ”

After Tian Yan heard this, she shook her head very helplessly, looked at her junior brother and said: "The old man has no other skills, but he is a good hand at harming disciples, since this is the case, I won't ask more, but there is one thing, you must not let others know about Zhong Kui's existence, do you hear?" ”

"Got it!"

Looking at the smiling face of his junior brother, Tian Yan resisted the urge to reward him with a chestnut, and then said, "So it was also his idea for you to collect natal objects to repair the Spirit Sea?" ”

One Zhong Kui made the senior sister angry, how dare Zhong Zhengnan let the senior sister know about the existence of that black shadow again, so he had to take advantage of the situation to push everything on Zhong Kui's head, nodded and said: "Yes!" ”

Tian Yan tilted her head to look at Zhong Zhengnan, and suddenly laughed, "You said that you don't have much fighting ability, but your ability to cause trouble is not low!" ”

"I haven't made a difference, how can I be embarrassed to say that I am the junior brother of the senior sister!"

Zhong Zhengnan didn't plan to continue talking about this topic after patting his ass, who knows if the senior sister will find something else wrong, so he asked, "I heard that you are going out of the city tomorrow?" ”

Tian Yan nodded, "Yes, tomorrow is the agreed five-day period!" After speaking, Tian Yan suddenly grabbed Zhong Zhengnan's ear and explained: "You have done enough, you are not allowed to go!" ”

Zhong Zhengnan screamed and held his senior sister's hand, begging for mercy: "It hurts, it hurts!" Senior sister, don't worry, I'm still injured, I will never go! Besides, even if I don't get hurt, my little cultivation will be in vain! ”

Tian Yan let go of her hand, looked at a junior brother who was rubbing her ears vigorously, inexplicably a little distressed, and said: "Don't worry, I will do it for you if you want to investigate, just stay in the city with peace of mind!" ”

Zhong Zhengnan's whole person suddenly froze, slowly looked at his senior sister, held it for a long time, and only called out his senior sister, and then there was no more follow-up.

After being silent for a long time, Tian Yan reached out and pinched Zhong Zhengnan's cheek, looked at the extremely special eyes of her junior brother, and said, "Since you have already made it up, let's start quickly, while I am still in the city, otherwise I must wait for me to come back!" ”

Zhong Zhengnan snorted, took the meteorite, and walked to the backyard with his senior sister.

The Snow Tongue girl and the old shopkeeper, together with Xie You, who fled back to Xiangfan City with Zhong Zhengnan, have been staying in the backyard, and when they saw the two of them walking in, Snow Tongue walked forward quickly, looked at the piece of meteorite in Zhong Zhengnan's hand, and said curiously: "What is this?" It must be a treasure, too! However, it doesn't seem to be as powerful as that little wooden bowl! ”

Zhong Zhengnan pinched the little girl's cheek, glanced at her senior sister, nodded slightly, and walked to the room alone.

Xue Yu frowned and looked at her senior sister, "What is the head going to do?" ”

Tian Yan smiled at the little girl and said, "He wants to heal, we will wait for him outside!" Then, Tian Yan looked at the thin old man Xie You, "I will arrange an enchantment here later, just in case, please also ask Senior Xie to put another one, so that no one can perceive the movement here!" ”

After speaking, Tian Yan took out more than a dozen spirit runes of not low quality, threw them high, and recited the spell at the same time. In just an instant, more than a dozen rune papers flew to different positions on their own, and after a while, the spirit runes connected to each other, finally forming a transparent light cover, enveloping the entire shop.

When Xie You heard this, he did not refuse, and decisively pinched the seal, and set up a slightly smaller barrier under the enchantment set up by Tian Yan.

Zhong Zhengnan, who returned to the room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said to Zhong Kui in his heart: "I have to borrow some spiritual energy from you in a while to refine these three natal objects together!" ”

Zhong Kui glanced at the badly injured spiritual sea, then at the three slow-moving Taiji seals, and said, "Have you thought about it?" If you don't succeed, you may never be able to cultivate! ”

Zhong Zhengnan took out the water jade and the geocentritis pith at one time, put them next to the meteorite, and said helplessly: "It's all this time, can you stop saying such frustrating words!" Do you know that I made a decision with great difficulty, as soon as you talk about it, I will hesitate, and it is easy to fail if I hesitate! ”

Zhong Kui laughed, "It seems that you have to do it, it's good!" But I still have to pour cold water on you, the more you are obsessed with getting good results, the more difficult it will be for you to achieve what you expected, so let go of your mind, ignore the results, step by step, and do what you should do at the moment! ”

"Got it! Why didn't I notice you being so verbose before! ”

"This is not verbose, even if it is me, I have never seen two spiritual seas merge, if you say this, you must not scare people to death!"

Zhong Zhengnan repeated a few deep breaths, and beckoned Zhong Kui: "It's started, come on!" After speaking, he tried to communicate with the black shadow who didn't know where, "I'm going to start refining the natal object, you can't succeed, give me a word!" ”

A black shadow slowly appeared next to Zhong Kui, and after the black qi dissipated, a naked man who was exactly the same as Zhong Zhengnan, but much stronger than Zhong Zhengnan, greeted Zhong Kui with a smile, and then said to Zhong Zhengnan: "You just have to let it go, after the refining is completed, I will start fusing immediately!" ”

Zhong Kui looked at the man beside him with well-defined muscles and a similar appearance to Zhong Zhengnan, but much taller than the real Zhong Zhengnan, and said tentatively: "Shura people? ”

The man didn't answer Zhong Kui's question, but said depressedly: "Why are you still stunned?" Help with refining! ”

Zhong Kui glanced at the man a few times, and then flew to another piece of "earth" suspended in mid-air with full doubts, sat down cross-legged, and began to gather the only remaining part of the spiritual energy in the broken spiritual sea for Zhong Zhengnan to drive, Zhong Kui and Zhong Zhengnan both understood that these alone were definitely not enough, so in the later stage, it was necessary for Zhong Kui to use his own strength!

As soon as he said it, Zhong Zhengnan looked at the three natal objects with different attributes in front of him, gritted his teeth, and urged Zhong Kui to gather the aura, turn it into spiritual fire, and began to calcinate the three natal objects of water, fire, and gold.

Among the three natal objects, the geocentrite marrow ablation speed was the fastest, followed by meteoric iron, and as for that piece of water jade, after more than two hours, it only refined a thin layer on the surface.

In the spiritual sea, Zhong Kui looked around, and there was no residual spiritual energy available, so he had to constantly release his body power for Zhong Zhengnan to use.

The aura of the three attributes continued to pour into the spiritual sea and began to run around, Zhong Kui did not be distracted and concentrated on providing strength for Zhong Zhengnan. He believed that it was impossible for the naked man to unscrupulously rush into the Linghai barrier by these spiritual qi, and sure enough, when the naked man saw this, he just smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and the earth aura and wood aura that were conjured by the two natal objects that existed before in the Linghai slowly gathered from everywhere. At the same time, I don't know what means he used, the other three kinds of aura also converged after the two aura of wood and earth converged, and in the end, the aura of the five attributes gathered in one place, chasing each other and spinning non-stop.

The naked man glanced at the "Heavenly Canopy", shook his head and greeted Zhong Kui: "Eh, can't you also possess yourself, this is too slow, these spiritual qi are too long to control, you go, refine the natal object as soon as possible!" ”

Zhong Kui rolled his eyes, "Why don't you go and call me?" Besides, he refines the natal object and I will do it for me, is it feasible? ”

The naked man smiled, "You just need to follow his method and refine the natal object and send it here, is it difficult?" The matter of integrating natal objects into the small world, I have to do it, how can't it be done! As for letting me go, that's fine! But in that case, his secret can't be hidden! ”

"If you ......, just go!"

Zhong Zhengnan listened to the conversation between the two throughout the whole process, and agreed with the suggestion that the person should possess Zhong Kui, if Zhong Kui was allowed to do it, it would indeed be faster. The damage to the spiritual sea, mobilizing the spiritual energy was extremely difficult for him, and every time he manipulated the spiritual energy into spiritual fire, he himself had to suffer a severe pain, which was not a pleasant taste.

Anyway, there is also the step of Linghai fusion, so it seems that there is no problem with being lazy at this time! It's already this miserable appearance, and no matter how bad it is, it can be so bad.

In fact, Zhong Zhengnan himself doesn't know why, for that black shadow, he always feels a kind of natural closeness and trust, as if that person is himself, and he is that person.

It's all come to this point, if you don't try it, you won't be reconciled!
