The head of the White Tiger Gate in the West smiled strangely, "The inscription does exist." But none of us can know it. It was like an ancient text, and it was also like a formation symbol. There is not much ancient inheritance in the Lingyin Continent, and for thousands of years, no one can decipher the inscription. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again, "Alas, I don't know if it's because the people of the Lingyin Continent are incompetent, or if the inscription is meaningless in the first place." As for whether your father arrived at Xuanwu Gate or not, whether he deciphered the inscription, there is no news later. ”

Ding Qin suddenly realized. In the dark, he had another intuition.

The inscription must have something to do with Chiyan Mountain!

Including the bone soul at this time, he also prompted, "The basalt stone tablet is mostly left over from ancient times, so you must go and see it!"

After saluting the head of the White Tiger Gate in the West, Ding Qin said, "Thank you for the suggestion." Then I will go to the Xuanwu Gate in the north, refer to the stone stele, and strive to solve the mystery. ”

The head of the White Tiger Sect did not stay, "You guys should act according to your own plan." It's just that I want to remind you that the head of the Northern Xuanwu Sect acts relatively strangely, and often decides affairs based on personal emotions, likes and dislikes. After you arrive at the Xuanwu Gate in the north, you must act carefully, so as not to anger the head of the sect and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Speaking of this, the head thought again, "That's right." When your father left here, we suggested that he take the Northwest Passage. This is the main traffic road between the White Tiger Gate in the West and the Xuanwu Gate in the north, and choosing this road can reduce the risk a lot. ”

Ding Qin thanked him. After that, he took He Yan out of the central high-rise area of the Western White Tiger Gate.

In the headquarters of Baihumen, there is no indication from the high-level, and it is impossible to find a car. Ding Qin and He Yan walked out of Baihumen, walked more than 20 miles, arrived at a small town, bought a car, and drove away.

If Ding Qin walked by himself, he would definitely choose to run at full speed. However, he also had to take care of He Yan. Along the way, there will be a lot of sections that need to be camped in the wilderness, and it will be more convenient for girls to have a car.

Moreover, He Yan's cultivation is not enough. Even if she can keep up with her speed, her spiritual power will always be in a state of extremely high consumption. In this case, although it is good for her to improve her cultivation, it is bound to fight due to the lack of spiritual power.

No one knows if there will be any emergencies on the road. Ding Qin didn't want to encounter a strong enemy, He Yan had no ability to protect himself at all.

Besides, there may only be a 10-day difference between a ride and a full-beam walk. For this long journey, it is only seven or eight times.

Fortunately, the road between the two of them was quite smooth. Except for the four waves of bandits encountered while crossing the mountains and forests, nothing hindered the journey.

Exactly ninety-nine eighty-one days later, they arrived.

However, Ding Qin and He Yan, no one was happy.

The disciples of the Xuanwu Sect ranked martial arts, and foreign merchants did not meet.

After waiting for half a month, the Xuanwu Gate opened to welcome guests, but Ding Qin learned that according to the rules of the Xuanwu Gate, if you want to refer to the Xuanwu Monument, you must obtain the consent of the head of the house.

What's even more infuriating is that if you want to see the boss, you must first submit a written resignation, and after three reviews and find that the reasons are sufficient, it will be handed over to the boss, and the boss will decide whether to see him.

Ding Qin wanted to meet the head of Qinglongmen on the grounds that he had sent a special letter, but he was told that the first review had not been passed.

The reason is simple. The matter of Qinglongmen has nothing to do with Xuanwu Gate. There is no diplomatic friendship between the two sides, and there is no obligation to help each other.

What an arrogant Xuanwu Gate!

Ding Qin had scolded them no less than twenty times in his heart.

However, scolding and scolding, you have to find a way to see the Xuanwu Monument. The problem was that Ding Qin changed the application three times, but each time, it was rejected at the first review.

In less than three days, a layer of foam appeared on Ding Qin's mouth.

He Yan was also sullen because of this. During this period of time, she felt that Ding Qin's affairs were already hers.

Just when Ding Qin was sleepless day and night because of this incident, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

At dusk, a stranger found Ding Qin. In the house of Ding Qin's inn, the man introduced himself, "My name is Ma Sheng, and I am a disciple of the Northern Xuanwu Sect. I know you want to meet the boss, but you can't pass the first review. ”

Ding Qin was very suspicious of his intentions, and said cautiously, "That's right. We've submitted it three or four times. ”

Ma Sheng smiled mysteriously, "What if I say, can I help you?"

Ding Qin was a little puzzled, "What do you mean by helping us?"

Ma Shengdao, "It's actually very simple. You can't pass the audit because you didn't get the auditor. You must know that in the Northern Xuanwu Sect, every disciple above the second order has to wait for the head of the sect to carry out the exercises. And this process is also arranged by three levels of review. So, "

He also went straight to the point, "What was originally a routine procedure has slowly become a powerful link." The third-tier auditors are accustomed to being held up to the sky by others, and if there is no oil or water audit, they will generally not pass. ”

After hearing this, Ding Qin couldn't help frowning.

In the Xuantian Empire, there are also such officials. This kind of person who eats and takes cards and plucks goose feathers has always been what Ding Qin hates the most.

But it turned out that when his father was there, he had his father's background, and no one dared to do anything to him. After his father's absence, he came back again, and he met the emperor by chance, and he didn't meet anyone who set up a card.

Therefore, Ding Qin's impression of this kind of person is only at the level of hearing and hearing.

Now, finally, I have met.

A wave of resentment rose in Ding Qin's heart, and he involuntarily scolded, "I'm his grandmother." ”

Ma Sheng smiled, "What's the use of scolding? In Xuanwumen, in fact, this is the rule." Not only the disciples of the Xuanwu Sect, but also the affiliated sects around here, small towns and towns, are also used to it. If you don't take out some oil and water, you want to see the boss, it's a fantasy. ”

Ding Qin slammed the table hatefully, "Isn't such a person afraid of being punished by heaven?"

Ma Sheng still smiled, "Then you will say that it is serious." In the past few decades of life, how many people have been cursed by the so-called heaven? Besides, this is the Northern Xuanwu Gate, and the Lingyin Continent is the dominant party, so who can help them?"

Ding Qin was so angry that he sighed again and again. This also has something to do with his background since childhood. However, He Yan's reaction was obviously faster at this time, she looked at Ma Sheng and asked, "How can we pass the review?" Oh yes,"

She took out two gold and silver ingots from the Lingna stone belt, "We didn't prepare any good gifts when we first came here, so we should know each other, and I hope Brother Ma will accept them." ”

Ma Sheng took it with a smile, without the intention of shirking.

When Ding Qin saw this, he was even more angry.

I thought you Ma Sheng was a good person, come and remind me. Unexpectedly, it turned out that he also took the opportunity to ask for bribes. How can the people of the Northern Xuanwu Sect have such virtue?

But after thinking about it, Ding Qin felt that he had figured it out again. If it weren't for the virtue of these people, the letter sent by Dongfang Qinglongmen at the earliest would definitely be replied to. With the introduction of Qinglongmen, he will be able to meet the master.

People are under the eaves, and they really have to bow their heads.

Ding Qin took a deep breath and said to Ma Shengdao very reluctantly, "Well, yes." Brother Ma made a special trip to remind us, and we are deeply grateful. In addition, how we should operate, please also ask Brother Ma for some more advice. ”

Ma Sheng was even more smiling at this time, "It should be, it should be." It's better to say hello to all levels of auditing. Tell us about your situation and see if they really mean it. If it's just something bad in terms of favors, it's easy to do, as long as the two of you make up some gifts and bring them to me, you can naturally pass the review. But if there is really a substantive reason for refusal, then there is nothing I can do. ”

Ding Qin smiled a little helplessly, "Well, in this way, you can only trouble Brother Ma." By the way, there is one more thing I would like to ask Brother Ma for advice. ”

Ma Sheng said in a fake and cordial tone, "Why should Brother Ding be polite, they are all his own people, so it's easy to talk and talk." ”

Ding Qin scolded him directly more than a dozen times in his heart. What kind of own people, you are the one who comes to ask for benefits, where is your own person?

But he didn't show it in his words, and asked very seriously, "Four years ago, was there a person named Ding Shouyi who came here and wanted to refer to the Xuanwu Monument? Brother Ma is familiar with all levels of auditing, so I don't know if he has some impressions." ”

Ma Sheng didn't even think about it, "Yes." I remember it well. At that time, he was in a similar situation as yours, and I also introduced him. ”

With the news of his father, Ding Qin still had a little balance in his heart. At least, the money wasn't spent in vain. "So, what about after the introduction?"

"After the introduction......" Ma Sheng thought for a while, "it seems that he is going to comprehend some Xuanwu Monument." Because I don't care much about those things, I can't remember clearly. I vaguely remember that one night, he left suddenly, and he didn't even say hello, probably because he had penetrated the Xuanwu Monument. ”

"Really?" Ding Qin's hope rose again. "Do you know where he went?"

Ma Sheng shook his head at this time, "I don't know." At that time, someone in the gang judged that maybe he had penetrated the mystery of the Xuanwu Tablet and wanted to get him back. But after looking for more than a month, there is no news. Later, because there was no news related to the Xuanwu Monument, the matter was closed. ”

"Really?" Ding Qin muttered, "That's really possible, he understands it." ”

Ma Sheng thought about it at this time and asked Ding Qin, "I just reacted, you are also surnamed Ding." Then you and that Ding Shouyi ......"

Ding Qin said, "That's my father." I'm here to find him. If he leaves after contemplating the Xuanwu Monument here, then I must also look at the Xuanwu Monument. ”

Ma Sheng let out an "oh" and looked at He Yan again. After that, as if he was afraid that the money he had just put in his pocket would be lost, he touched it with his hand very covertly, and smiled again, "Filial piety is respectable." I'll do my best. Tomorrow morning, wait for my news. If there is no situation, you can also prepare some gifts tonight. ”

Ding Qin nodded. The three of them didn't say anything more, and Ma Sheng left alone. When he went out, Ding Qin looked at his back from the window and cursed, "What a bastard." ”

He Yan also sighed, "What can a bastard do?" But I always feel that it is really uncomfortable to let them take benefits for nothing. No, I've got to find a way to cure them. ”
