After passing through the forbidden zone, the jungle has basically come to an end. Ding Qin only felt that his eyes were bright, and what came into view were two antique manors.

He didn't know which one was the Gao family. However, there are only two here, so just go up and ask. With that in mind, he headed straight for the manor on his left.

However, he was only halfway through when suddenly seven black shadows burst out from the front. Ding Qin immediately stopped, and before he could introduce himself, he heard someone among the seven people say sharply, "Who dares to trespass into Shennong Valley?"

Ding Qin wanted to report his name and intention directly, but he didn't want Mei Qing to step forward from behind, "In Xia Meiqing, she is the daughter of Mei Zhishu, and she was entrusted by Uncle Guo Cheng to come to Shennong Valley to meet Uncle Gao Yu." ”

At the mention of Mei Zhishu and Guo Cheng, the seven people were obviously stunned for a moment. The big names of the two of them, in Tiannan Prefecture, basically no one does not know.

And when Mei Qing was commensurate with Gao Yu as an uncle, the eyes of these people were even more complicated. After a moment of silence, the man in the middle said, "What do you have to prove your identity?

Mei Qingdao said, "If you don't believe it, you can send this thing to Xia Shishi, the wife of a thousand feet tall, for identification." ”

After that, Mei Qing took out a small jade brand and threw it directly.

One person caught the jade plaque and looked at the person in the middle. The man in the middle nodded, and the man sped away.

The person in the middle looked at Mei Qing, "Do you know Grandma Xia?"

Mei Qingdao, "Hmm." Xia Shishi studied art on Caizhu Island three years ago, and I was there at that time. The two of us were very good, and later I learned that she was from Shennong Valley. It's just that after we finished our studies, she went back to her Shennong Valley, and I didn't come to visit, so I never saw her. ”

The man was skeptical, and after listening to it, his eyes looked at Ding Qin. Ding Qin didn't say much, waiting for the person who delivered the letter to return.

It didn't take long to hear someone shouting in front of me, "Qing'er!"

At the sound of voices, a woman of about twenty-five or sixteen years old walked briskly.

In terms of appearance and figure, she should not be under Mei Qing, but no matter how you look at it, she has a little more mature charm than Mei Qing.

Of course, the most conspicuous thing is the collapsed straps on her shoulders and arms.

When Mei Qing heard the shout, her eyes immediately moved over, and when she saw someone coming, she immediately responded, "Shishi!"

Xia Shishi ran quickly in small steps, and when she arrived in front of Mei Qing, she pulled Mei Qing's hand up with one hand, with tears in her eyes, "Qing'er, you, why are you here?"

Mei Qing didn't answer, but looked at Xia Shishi's injury, "Shishi, what's wrong?

As soon as her question came out, all the people in Shennong Valley present had gloomy expressions.

Ding Qin also naturally linked Taniguchi's ban and destruction with Xia Shishi's injury.

Xia Shishi couldn't hold back any longer, her eyes burst out, "Valley, there's something wrong in the valley." Now that the turmoil is undecided, it is better for you not to come at this time. ”

Mei Qing subconsciously looked back at Ding Qin, and then turned to Xia Shishi, "What is the situation?"

Ding Qin also stepped forward, "In Xia Ding Qin, there is something important I want to ask to see Patriarch Gao Yu." This matter is related to the six-eared monkey, and I hope to report it. ”

Xia Shishi glanced at Ding Qin with some confusion, and forcibly held back her tears, "Who are you?

The kindness and gentleness she showed to Mei Qing were gone at this moment, leaving only a kind of stiffness and coldness. Ding Qin didn't explain it for a while, so he had to say, "It's a big deal, I hope ...... it"

"This is our Gao family's business, and it has nothing to do with you. Xia Shishi directly rejected Ding Qin, "If you are here for this, you can leave now." ”

Seeing Ding Qin eating turtles, Mei Qing actually secretly pursed her lips and smiled. Ding Qin knew that if he only relied on his own explanation, he could not save the situation, so he could only turn to Mei Qing.

Unexpectedly, Mei Qing twisted her head slightly, pretending not to see it, and she didn't want to pay attention to it at all.

Ding Qin had no choice but to speak, "Miss Mei......"

"Even Qing'er is useless. Who knows, Xia Shishi didn't give Mei Qing a chance to open her mouth at all. She said to Mei Qing, "Qing'er, if you come to catch up with me, or have other things, we welcome you in Shennong Valley." But if you come all the way with him, and you are also here for the six-eared monkey, I'm sorry, our old friendship, and I can't make an exception for you. ”

This time it was Mei Qing's turn to be stunned. She looked at Xia Shishi, "Shishi, he really has something important, so he ......"

Xia Shishi's face sank, "All the six-eared monkey matters are internal to the Gao family, and I don't want anyone to get involved." Let's go. ”

Ding Qin's brows furrowed. He didn't expect that the Gao family would be so taboo about this matter. In desperation, he could only try to explain the reasons for all the things, "I hope you will think about it again." I'm here to tell you that some time ago, the sea beast attack on the island in Honglang County, as well as the crystal source land, are actually related to the beast spirit source, and this beast spirit source is directly ......."

Xia Shishi's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of color, and she said sharply, "Shut up!"

Under this impasse, Ding Qin naturally didn't want to be commanded by her anymore, "I'm going to finish what I'm saying." ”

Xia Shishi's tone suddenly calmed down, "Don't say it anymore." I ask you, how do you know so much?"

Ding Qin said, "The master instructs." ”

"Where is the master?" Xia Shishi's face didn't know whether to be curious or cautious, "What is the purpose of your coming here?"

Ding Qin said, "I'm going to tell Patriarch Gao Yu what I know." I'm trying to get you on your guard. The six-eared monkey is a must-find thing for bad people, so ......"

"Say no more. Xia Shishi took a deep breath and turned to Mei Qing, "He's a reliable person?"

Mei Qing nodded, "Yes." If he wasn't reliable, I wouldn't have brought him with me. ”

Although Ding Qin strongly disagreed with Mei Qing's statement that he brought himself, it is undeniable that this sentence played a great role.

Xia Shishi thought for a while, "You two come with me." ”

Before leaving, she also specially explained to a few people on the side, "What this son said just now, you must not spread it to the outside world." ”

Several people nodded their heads.

With Xia Shishi, Ding Qin and Mei Qing bypassed a gravel path and entered the Gao family's residential area after a planted landscape jungle.

It may be due to the fact that there was an artificial landscape to cover it before, so when he saw this residential area for the first time, Ding Qin couldn't help but feel that the scale was still considerable. There are no less than 100 large and small houses, the highest of which has more than 10 floors, and most of the others are small buildings with two or three floors.

These buildings are all made of local materials, with wood as the main raw material, some even with live wood as pillars, and many places still grow green branches and leaves, there is a feeling of integration with nature, and the whole is very harmonious.

Xia Shishi said as she walked, "Go in later, don't feel strange about everything you see." ”

Ding Qin and Mei Qing did not respond. When he entered the residential area, several guards came up to greet him, but to Ding Qin's surprise, all of them were women.

Could it be that the Gao family is the female protagonist and the male protagonist are the extreme, and even the matter of guarding the guard is handed over to the woman?

With this in mind, Ding Qin deliberately observed these people. As a result, these people are obviously weaker and do not have the momentum of a strong woman.

Further inside, the men in sight are quite rare. Xia Shishi didn't explain this, and led the two of them to a compound.

The gate of the compound is closed and also guarded. As soon as he got closer, a distinct medicinal fragrance came out.

Seeing Xia Shishi, the guards came up to greet him, and opened the door according to Xia Shishi's instructions. After entering, Xia Shishi took the two of them to the middle building, and then asked Yu to wait outside, go in first, and come back after a while, letting Ding Qin and Mei Qing enter.

Walking through a deserted outer hall, Ding Qin went to the inner room. There was a thin veil hanging here, and there were three or four people busy handling medicinal herbs outside, and inside it seemed to be a bed.

Xia Shishi walked to the tulle and lifted the veil directly, "Father-in-law, they are here." ”

With a cough, a weak voice rang out, "Hmm." Everyone else should step aside. Please be seated for two guests. ”

Xia Shishi went to close the door and came back to beckon Ding Qin and Mei Qing to sit down. The person on the bed was already slowly propping himself up, half leaning on the head of the bed.

He was probably in his fifties, pale, and short of breath. The thick bandage on his chest indicates that he was seriously injured.

The two came from afar, but Gao Yu was seriously injured, and it was rude. The old man said this, and coughed violently again.

Xia Shishi hurriedly stepped forward to support Gao Yu, "Father-in-law, your injury is serious, let's lie down and say." ”

Gao Yu shook his head, "That's even more unhospitable." ”

Seeing that Gao Yu was so polite, Ding Qin still stood up and saluted Gao Yu. Mei Qing also followed.

Gao Yu nodded, "Let's explain the meaning of the two of you." ”

Ding Qin said, "Patriarch Gao, under Ding Qin." Because there have been many abnormal things recently, which may involve the six-eared monkeys of the Gao family, they came to warn, but unexpectedly disturbed the patriarch's recuperation. ”

Gao Yu nodded, did not speak, and motioned for Ding Qin to continue.

Ding Qin continued, "I was instructed by a master to learn that the attack on the island by sea beasts in Honglang County was a man-made disaster, and the appearance of the crystal source was not accidental, but someone wanted to activate the source of the beast spirit. After the Beast Spirit Source is activated, it can greatly increase the spirituality of the six-eared monkey, but at the same time, it also makes other spirit beasts form a demonic nature. ”

He paused for a moment and continued, "Not long ago, the ancestral Qili incense burner in Guo Cheng's predecessor sect was stolen, coupled with what I had seen and heard, all kinds of indications showed that the person who activated the source of the beast spirit was a six-eared monkey who was intentionally domesticated among the nobles. Although we don't know what this person's true purpose is for the time being, the seven-mile incense burner, the five blessing ointment, the six-eared monkey, and the eight immortal boats must be in Tiannan Prefecture. In order to prevent further accidents, I came to Shennong Valley. Please rest assured that the younger generation has no evil intentions. ”

Gao Yu nodded, "Well, now I can tell you very clearly that your speculation, or that master's speculation, is right. Because just yesterday, the six-eared monkey has been taken away. ”

"Took away?" Although Ding Qin had been mentally prepared to hear this result, when Gao Yu personally confirmed it, he still felt unacceptable.
