The sun is scorching, the earth is steaming like a steamer, and the vegetation along the road is also sluggish.

The scorching sun shone in the blue sky, and a pedestrian hung his head all the way against the blazing sun.

One old and one young, both of them are wounded, one with internal injuries and one with external injuries, because they have to take care of the old and the young, the overall speed of progress can be called a turtle crawl.

Meng Xiaopao and Tie Niang were sweating profusely, and the iron ball was also hot and listless, but Sun Zhenyan was much better, and he didn't have much heat except for his lame legs and walking slowly.

There is a big tree not far ahead, but at this time there are already three people sitting under the big tree, because the fire sun is in the sky, so there is not much shade under the big tree, and the three of them happen to occupy all the shade at this time.

Meng Xiaopao helped Sun Zhenyan, Tie Niang carried the iron ball on her back, and the four of them went straight to the big tree.

The three people sitting under the big tree are the three shopkeepers, they have not found a chance to start these days, Sun Zhenyan will be Meng Xiaopao very closely, every time the iron lady mother and son fall asleep, he secretly released Xiu Wei to demonstrate to the three of them, and the three of them had scruples and did not move.

The three of them who followed in the morning finally figured out Meng Xiaopao's temperament, to put it bluntly, the limbs are developed and the mind is simple, in the face of Tong Suo's overflowing love, after this early secret research, the three of them decided to have a chance encounter on a journey at the same time.

Slowly came to the big tree, Meng Xiaopao looked at the three of them and asked politely: "Can the three heroes let us have a small place to rest for a while, the old man and the child have been sunbathing all morning, I want them to rest in the shade." ”

The purpose of the three of them is to let Meng Xiaopao talk, and then pretend to let the position be close to her, as long as Meng Xiaopao speaks, they will definitely respond.

The shopkeeper Chen, who took the money, said: "There is no need to be so polite about a vacant land. After saying that, he gave the shopkeeper who had saved money a look, and then the two of them got up together and gave way to the empty space.

When the two of them squeezed to the pawn Huo shopkeeper together, Tie Niang suddenly exclaimed: "You, you are the shopkeeper?" ”

Shopkeeper Chen pretended not to know and said, "Who are you?" How do you know I'm a shopkeeper? ”

Tie Niang saw that the shopkeeper Chen didn't know herself, and thought that people might see too many guests every day, so she didn't remember herself, and she had been worried that they would kill people and rob money, but at this time it seemed impossible, and people didn't remember who they were.

After being completely at ease, Tie Niang said with relief: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." ”

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, people often mistake me." ”

Seeing that it was an oolong, Meng Xiaopao didn't ask Tie Niang much about the situation, she hugged her fists and thanked the three of them again, and then helped Sun Zhenyan to the shade of the tree, at this time Tie Niang had already put the iron ball under the shade of the tree.

People are under the shade of trees, but the heat is still unabated, there are many people and few places, and crowding is not cooler than sunburning.

The beads of sweat were still soaring, and Shopkeeper Chen looked at the hot and smoking Meng Xiao and said, "Girl, I see that you also have at least one internal force in your body, why don't you use internal force to dissipate heat dissipation?" Look at the old man next to you, he uses his strong internal force to dispel the heat, and there is no heat in his body. ”

A line of words smashed into Meng Xiaopao's heart like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the old man has strong internal strength? Then what he said before was not a lie, why did he pretend to be pitiful and sympathize with himself when he was so powerful.

His eyes looked at the old man beside him who claimed to be Sun Zhen, he was indeed cool, not like a person who was subjected to the heat, thinking back to this way, he had never shed a drop of sweat and gasped.

Just as he was about to ask, suddenly a cold light rushed up to his neck, and Sun Zhenyan held a dagger in his hand to his throat.

The three shopkeepers were shocked when they saw this, and the shopkeeper Chen suddenly said viciously: "Dead old man, you pretend to be pitiful to win her sympathy, she is pure in heart and has fallen into the hands of you, an old gray wolf, and has taken good care of you all the way, how can you be so ungrateful and turn your face, quickly put down the dagger, the sword has no eyes, you are careful to hurt her." ”

Sun Zhenyan was also angry in his heart, obviously he was the first to expose his identity, but at this time, he actually preached himself with a good attitude.

Holding the dagger in his hand tightly, he also said a secret message: "Don't pretend, the three of you followed this woman to Manzi Village that day, and lurked so far, do you dare to say that you have no plans?" ”

Meng Xiaopao was completely stunned by the confrontation between the two sides, and he was not a big person, why would they target him.

Still speculating in his heart, Sun Zhenyan suddenly opened his mouth and threatened: "My face has been torn, then I won't talk nonsense, hand over the secret of the immortal law, and I will spare you from death." ”

Sun Zhenyan's immortal law made Meng Xiaopao's brain dizzy, when did he expose himself to the immortal law, except for the lonely forgetful dust, there was only the iron ball, but he just opened up the meridians for the iron ball, as for the matter of cultivating immortals, he hadn't taught him a piece of hair, even if it was him, he was a hairy kid who was afraid that no one would believe it, the old man's tone was very sure, think about it like this, who else but him.

I felt a little stuffy in my heart, and I felt an indescribable feeling of dullness, and even my voice was a little unsmooth at this time: "You were sent by Gu Wuchen, I didn't expect that he could be so ruthless in order to cultivate the method of cultivating immortals." ”

Things are getting more and more chaotic, Sun Zhenyan was thinking of taking a gamble, whether she said or not, she would let her go, although she didn't get along for a long time, she felt the warmth from her, at least ten thousand times stronger than her vicious apprentice who deceived her teacher and destroyed her ancestors.

Who knew that it was just a little blackmail, and he actually came up with such good news, "You don't care who sent me, as long as you hand over the method of cultivating immortals, I will let you live." ”

The more Sun Zhenyan said, the more painful Meng Xiaopao's heart became, she ignored the dagger that Sun Zhenyan was holding, raised her eyes to look at the three shopkeepers and said, "Say, who sent you, is it also for the method of cultivating immortals?" ”

The three of them were really shocked, they only knew that the top had sent someone to arrest her, but they didn't say why, at this time, they were broken by three words, and the three of them were also surging in their hearts.

Shopkeeper Chen took the lead in replying: "This matter is a long story, we were not sent by anyone, in fact, it is like this......"

Saying that, he pointed to Tie Niang and said: "This woman went to our money village last time to exchange a deposit ticket, how could she be a peasant woman with such a precious thing, because she had received a report from Lord Mo before, saying that he had a deposit ticket stolen by a concubine, according to the time and date of exchange of the deposit ticket he kept, we found the same date mark on the deposit ticket exchanged by this woman, thinking that the concubine of Lord Mo is as beautiful as a flower, how can it be a peasant woman, in order to find out the truth, we have been secretly following, After I came, I found that there was a master secretly lurking outside the walls of your courtyard, and we have not shown up in order to avoid startling the snake, but we have already conveyed a message to Lord Mo, and I think he will be here soon. ”

Shopkeeper Chen said that even Shopkeeper Zhang and Shopkeeper Huo next to him believed his nonsense.

After the shopkeeper Chen finished speaking, Meng Xiaopao believed eight points, because Gu Wangchen had also gone back on his word before, and gave himself money to knock himself out.

Despite this, Meng Xiaopao still looked at Tie Niang and said, "Do you really know him?" ”

Tie Niang was already so frightened that her palms were sweating at this time, and she kept nodding and said, "Yes, yes, I just exchanged the gold beads with the deposit ticket at him." ”

Meng Xiaopao looked at the two waves of people in front of him, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable, he worked so hard to cultivate the method of immortals, one was sent to assassinate himself, and one wave was used to search openly, he really looked up to himself.

"Since you are all people sent by him, then there is no need to say the purpose, isn't it just to cultivate the immortal method, if you want, you can let him come to see me in person, otherwise I won't say it even if you kill me."

Meng Xiaopao's death-defying appearance made Sun Zhenyan a little difficult, he was not a person from Lord Mo.

However, shopkeeper Chen is different, what he said before was unintentionally heard on the trail, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time, since he wanted the prince to come in person, it must be indispensable to send a message.

Shopkeeper Chen immediately took out a colored feather and said to Meng Xiaopao: "Then bother the girl to wait patiently, and I will go to the prince to continue the summons." After saying that, he pinched Caiyu and walked away.

Chen's shopkeeper's actions made Sun Zhenyan a little anxious, his left leg was lame, and it was barely okay to kill, it was absolutely impossible to take people away, not to mention that the cultivation of these three shopkeepers was not low, and his heart was anxious, and he had to find a way to get out.

The shopkeeper Chen finished carving with the colorful feathers, but the content on it was: "Hong Protector, the situation is urgent, come quickly, west of Manzi Village, under the thirty-mile tree." ”

Jin Hong flew away with the information, the shopkeeper Chen turned back, he looked at Sun Zhenyan, who was still holding a knife, and said: "Since they are all their own people, don't make such a sword and crossbow like this, I have sent a message to the prince, we might as well wait for the prince to come and let the prince decide for himself." ”

Shopkeeper Chen's play is very deep, Sun Zhenyan has fallen into his play, and these three people are not sure to kill them all, if they wait for the reinforcements to arrive, even if they get the magic of cultivating immortals, they will be blessed.

The image of his old man has disappeared from the moment he took out the dagger, and his gloomy eyes looked at the iron ball beside him, he was thin and light and easy to carry, and Meng Xiaopao seemed to be very interested in this iron ball, and if he was captured, he might be able to win a chance.

As soon as the idea came out, Sun Zhenyan pushed Meng Xiaopao away, and in the blink of an eye, he held the iron ball in his arms, imprisoned the iron ball in one hand, and threatened with a knife in the other: "Meng Xiaopao, if you want to save this child, bring your immortal cultivation method to see me, my name is Sun Zhenyan, your lustful public will definitely recognize me." ”

After Sun Zhenyan finished speaking, he flew away with the iron ball and performed light skills.

Meng Xiaopao hurriedly shouted to the three shopkeepers: "Go and save the child, as long as you go to save him, I will obediently follow you back to the palace......"

Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper Chen stepped forward, he grabbed Meng Xiaopao's arm, and his palm was raised to knock on Meng Xiaopao's neck, and suddenly Tie Niang roared bitterly: "Qiu'er ~ Mother's ball......"

Shopkeeper Chen paused for a second because of Tie Niang's voice, and at this second, he broke free, pointed his spiritual power condensation blade at his neck, and roared in his mouth: "You are not lonely people, say ~ You are sent for the end, if you don't say it, I will die for you." ”

Meng Xiaopao is also gambling now, she is betting that the leader of this gang does not want her own corpse, from the time they met until now, if they want to kill themselves, they will die at least seventeen or eighteen times.

This bet will win no matter what.

Shopkeeper Chen also wanted to argue vigorously: "Who sent us to say it and what is the difference between saying it and not saying it, anyway, we will arrest you." ”

Meng Xiaopao knew that what Shopkeeper Chen said was the truth, and he would not really commit suicide in the first place, his purpose was just to understand.

"I just want to understand, aren't you really going to say it?" Meng Xiaopao stabbed the spiritual dagger into his skin, and yelled while enduring the pain, "To say it or not to say it." ”
