This New Year passed in a festive and busy atmosphere.

Before the seventh day of the first lunar month, Yuan Qi and Peng Kuan returned to Jiangning one after another, and all affairs began to run in an orderly manner.

At the beginning of the new year, there are also many new plans and arrangements on the side of Longhu Courtyard, so everyone is extremely busy at the beginning.

On the contrary, Xu Lai, the dean and commander-in-chief of Jiangning, seemed to be more comfortable, and what he did every day was either wandering around Jiangning City or locking himself in the house.

Maybe it was a little diluted by the joy of the New Year, but the world was stable in the middle of the first month, and nothing big happened.

Until the day of the Lantern Festival, all the sects and factions in the sect received a message at the same time.

The six major sects are preparing to hold a conference in Mount Tai in half a month, and invite all sects to participate.

"The Surgical Symposium...... Usually this is the time when the surgery conference is held? Chen Duo said as he looked at the invitation in his hand over and over again.

"Generally speaking, the conference is only held once every three years." Xu said.

"When was the last time?" Chen Duo asked.

"It was only opened the year before last." Gao Xiang said.

According to the time, that is, just a year has passed, and they Yuan Men were also invited, but they were not qualified to go with Yuan Tianlin.

"I heard that this matter was proposed by the Quanzhen Sect." Yuan Qi inquired about the news.

"What tricks does this Quanzhen Sect want to do?" Sun Muyu frowned.

Yuan Qi said: "I didn't say anything about the purpose, but recently the world has been unstable, strange things have happened frequently, and all the large and small sects are a little frightened, so at this time, most of the sects are still very welcome." ”

"Then who are you going to arrange with you this time?" Chen Duo asked if she wanted to adjust the next affairs according to this.

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Xiang, Sun Muyu, Yuan Qi and Peng Kuan gathered their eyes on Xu Lai, all of them had hot eyes, and they obviously wanted to go along.

After all, the conference is basically the highest level of the conference, and countless sects participate, if you can't go, it will be a big pity.

"If you four want to go, go together, and it's good for you to go through it." Xu Lai said with a smile.

Gao Xiang, Sun Muyu and Yuan Qi immediately cheered, and Peng Kuan also smiled slightly.

"Then what about Jiang Ning's side?" Chen Duo was a little worried, if Gao Xiang and all of them were transferred away at once, she was afraid that Jiang Ning would not be able to take care of them.

"It's not a big problem in the short term." Xu said.

"Isn't it big?" Chen Duo was apprehensive, but since Xu Lai had said it, she didn't have any opinions.

"What about the others, who else are you going to take with you?" Chen Duo asked again.

"Let Lao Hong arrange the rest, this time Lao Hong will lead the team, and I won't go." Xu said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.

"You're not going?" Chen Duo suspected that he had heard it wrong.

This is the Sect Conference, and when the heads of various sects gather, Xu Lai, as the dean of the Dragon and Tiger Academy, actually didn't go?

"Yes, great god, if you don't go, this ...... This ...... "Gao Xiang and others are all uneasy.

Although Hongyuan Dao Elder is also an old man, after all, he can't compare with the great god.

Their Dragon and Tiger Academy was originally a small sect that had just been established, but it was on the cusp, and this time when it came to the Sect Conference, if there was no great god Xu Lai, none of them would have a bottom in their hearts.

"I have other things to do, so I might not be able to make it by then." Xu said.

"You've figured it out?" Chen Duo asked with some excitement.

What Xu Lai has been doing in the house during this time, she naturally knows quite well.

"It's not that easy, just go and see it first and try your luck." Xu said.

In the past six months, he, Tang Tang and Li Qingyun, brothers and sisters, formed a four-person team and swept all over the country, on the one hand, to suppress the evil spirits that have emerged in various places, and on the other hand, mainly to explore the pattern of various places, and record them, as a condition for deducing and calculating the feng shui array, to find the root cause of this disaster.

But the Feng Shui Great Array is so huge and complicated, trying to find out what went wrong is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, even if it is a master of mathematics like Xu Lai, there is no certainty.

Hearing that Xu Lai was going to do such an important thing, Gao Xiang and the others naturally had nothing to say, but this time without Xu Lai leading the team, everyone was always nervous.

"It's okay, with Lao Hong leading the team, you can't suffer." Xu came to comfort.

But everyone is still afraid, after all, although Hongyuan Daoist is quite old and serious, but in such a big scene, it is useless to just be old and serious.

"Let's see, maybe I'll be able to get there in time." Xu Laidao.

Although everyone was helpless, they had no choice but to accept it, and could only pray that Xu Lai could finish the matter as soon as possible and rush over in time.

It was the Lantern Festival that day, and Chen Duo also specially prepared a lot of lanterns and glutinous rice balls, ready for everyone to be lively and lively together, but Xu Lai didn't have time, and went out on the train in the afternoon.

But before leaving, I finally ate a bowl of rice balls under Chen Duo's own hands.

"Landlord, this rice ball is not bad." Xu Lai said while eating.

"Is it okay?" Chen Duo was proud, she had practiced in advance, and she had to cook a big pot at night.

"It's just a little bit rotten." Xu said.

"It's kind of rotten." Chen Duo's face flushed slightly, the appearance of this rice ball is indeed not very good, "Is this brand of rice ball not very good, should I buy other ones to try?" ”

"Just put cold water in the pot, right?" Xu said.

"yes, otherwise how else would you get out of the pot?" Chen Duo asked.

"It's nothing, your craftsmanship is already very good, it's just that this brand of glutinous rice balls is too bad, you can try something else." Xu said.

"Oh, I think so, too." Chen Duo nodded.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Lai took a car to the southwest, and when night fell, the sky was full of fireworks and bustle.

His first stop was the black bamboo ditch in the middle of the river.

Heizhugou has a steep terrain and deep valleys, and it has been an extremely dangerous place for generations, and in modern times, although it has become a place for many people to travel and explore because of its beautiful scenery.

But over the years, there have often been people missing, so Heizhugou's reputation outside is quite vicious, and many people are shocked when they hear it.

In the eyes of the people in the spell, the reason why the black bamboo ditch is unpredictable is not only because of its steep terrain, but also for another reason.

Xu Lai entered Heizhugou for a day and a night, and then went to Wawu Mountain, which is also a notoriously dangerous place, with complex terrain inside, like a huge labyrinth.

If someone rushes into it, they will not only get lost, but also often have hallucinations, ecstasy and other visions.

Even if a spell master like Xu Lai enters, he has to be careful.

However, these two places are dangerous, but they are not as he expected.

Xu Lai was not discouraged and continued to explore the past as planned.

In the evening of this day, he arrived at a small town called Huairen in Xiangxi. This town is near Wuling Mountain, and due to its remote location, the population is not very large, so it seems a little empty.

At this time, the time for the Taishan Sect Conference was getting closer and closer, and the news from Chen Duo said that Gao Xiang and the others had already gone to the Dragon and Tiger Courtyard to meet with Hongyuan Dao Chang.

This time, Miao An and Fat An were responsible for staying in the Dragon and Tiger Courtyard, and Hongyuan took Gao Xiang, Sun Muyu, Yuan Qi and Peng Kuan to the meeting.

Xu Lai found a small shop that was open, went in and ordered a few dishes to eat.

At this time, the weather was still very cold, and as soon as the night fell, the north wind was howling outside, making people shiver.

As soon as Xu Lai took a few bites of food, four people came in from outside.

These four people, three men and one woman, looked like tourists from other places, dusty, sat in the innermost position when they entered the door, ordered food, and whispered over there.

Xu Lai paid a little attention.

Because these four people are not ordinary tourists, but four mages.

"Everyone eats a little bit and has to stay up all night at night." One of them said, apparently the heads of the four.

Although they tried to keep their voices as low as possible, they naturally couldn't escape Xu Lai's ears.

"Senior brother, I'm ...... I'm a little scared, what should I do? One of the chubby young men's voice trembled.

"What are you afraid of, you're a mage, do you know!" His senior brother scolded.

The fat man lowered his head and said with a flushed face: "Senior brother, I know." ”

Mage is unmatched
