"Ahem!" The old man suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly changed his words and said: "Kong Biao owed me a favor before, so he was willing to give me this thin noodles." ”

"So that's the case, no wonder he was willing to pay to appease the villagers. Xu Chen was a loyal person, and he didn't think about anything else, but asked a little puzzled: "But why did Master let Ah Cai set fire to the crops?"

"Actually, it's just a test I've arranged for you. ”

"The more I listened, the more confused I became. Xu Chen didn't understand the old man's intentions.

"Because I have an important thing for you to do, but this matter is so important that I can't easily entrust it to others. ”

"What's this, if you have something, you should ask your apprentice to run errands directly, why bother!"

Seeing that Xu Chen's eyes were suspicious, the old man told him the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that the old man asked Ah Cai to harass the villagers, just to make Kong Biaoshi famous, so that he could take the opportunity to examine Xu Chen's character. If Xu Chen, like the other senior brothers, just killed Ah Cai simply to complete the task, then the old man would naturally not give him that important thing to do.

"But I'm not the only one who participated in the mission, aren't you afraid that you will be incompetent and the credit will be taken by others?" Xu Chen was still confused.

"Ah Cai has refined a body that is indestructible, if you hadn't accidentally discovered its valve, how could you hurt it!"

"Oh, I see!" Xu Chen touched the back of his head and said, "The bloodstains left by the injuries left by Acai all the way are fake, and the purpose is to deliberately transfer others away so that I can trace it." ”

Thinking of this, Xu Chen hurriedly apologized to the old man: "I'm sorry, I don't know the master's hard work, and I blame your old man." ”

"That day, you stoned its young son to death, and in the end, I secretly ordered it to let you go. The old man laughed and said, "Tomorrow you win the battle against Tang Da Niu, come to the back mountain to find me, and then I will hand over the task to you." ”

It was only at this time that Xu Chen knew the cause and effect of the incident, and he couldn't help but feel grateful, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Master, the apprentice is to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and he will not fail your trust." ”

The old man drank Ah Cai, and then flew on the back of the bird, only to hear Ah Cai's long call, and then spread his wings and flew into the sky with the old man.

Xu Chen saw his master leave, and also turned around and went home. Halfway down the road, he heard a commotion in front of him, and a group of people rushed towards him.

Xu Chen opened his eyes and saw that the leader was Tang Daniu, the enemy of the enemy, followed by many senior brothers, they were all people who participated in the mission with Xu Chen, and after listening to Tang Daniu's nonsense, they were all a little angry, so they came to Xu Chen for comment.

When Xu Chen approached, they were all stunned, thinking that he would take the corpse of the bird demon with him, but now that Xu Chen came back alone, how could this not be surprising.

Tang Da Niu relied on the strength of the crowd and said to Xu Chen viciously: "That monster, where did you hide it? Hand it over early, the credit will be shared equally by everyone, and I won't care about you." ”

Xu Chen said coldly: "I can't beat it with low mana, so let it run away." ”

"Fart! I saw that it was only one breath away from death, how did it move?"

Seeing that Tang Da Niu still dared to make things difficult for himself, Xu Chen's eyes suddenly widened angrily, and he said sharply: "Tang Da Niu, don't deceive people too much!" After speaking, he grabbed Tang Da Niu's collar and stretched out his hand to punch him.

Seeing that they were fighting, the senior brothers next to them hurriedly came over to fight, and finally separated the two of them, Xu Chen had already beaten Tang Da Niu twice, and half of his face was swollen.

"The surname is Xu, you have brutalized your fellow disciples, I will go back to expose your evil deeds to the master!" Tang Daniu put down this sentence and ran away angrily, looking back from time to time, for fear that Xu Chen would catch up and beat him.

Several senior brothers had already looked down on Tang Daniu's character, but now seeing that Xu Chen was covered in blood and empty-handed, they realized that they were being prodded by Tang Daniu, and they also believed Xu Chen's words.

A junior brother asked him, "Senior Brother Xu, in which direction did the monster run?"

Xu Chen pointed in a direction casually, and this group of brothers and sisters who were eager to compete for merit immediately chased in the direction he said, Xu Chen sneered and went home by himself.

After going back, Nangong Muyang heard Xu Chen say that Tang Daniu was going to Kong Biao to complain, and he was immediately shocked, but Xu Chen knew that with an old man taking care of him, Kong Biao would definitely not embarrass himself, so he was not in a hurry at all.

waited until the evening and didn't see anyone looking for trouble, and Kong Biao didn't send anyone to invite them to Tianshu Palace, so Nangong Muyang let go of the stone in his heart.

But the more Xu Chen thought about it, the more angry he became, and he didn't even have the mood to cultivate, he secretly thought that this Tang Da Niu was vicious and calculated himself everywhere, so there was no need to be polite to him in the ring tomorrow.

He also saw that Tang Da Niu was afraid of himself, and he didn't know that his strength was not as good as him, and tomorrow's battle could be said to be a sure win or a loss, although it was impossible to beat him to death in front of everyone, but Xu Chen had decided to at least beat him to death, at least he had to lie in bed for a few months, otherwise, he couldn't swallow this evil breath.

Even if he was punished for this, Xu Chen didn't mind, he couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, wishing that this moment would come sooner.

As soon as it was dawn, Xu Chen got up from the bed and went straight to the place of the competition without eating breakfast.

There were already some junior brothers in the square who had arrived before him, and they were all waiting to see the excitement, and after Xu Chen arrived, he immediately looked for Tang Daniu in the crowd.

Tang Daniu hadn't come yet, but his master Kong Biao had come first, and was sitting on the rostrum chatting with Chu Hao, he had already seen Xu Chen, but there was no expression on his face, as if he hadn't seen it.

Xu Chen didn't know what the old man and Kong Biao were talking about, but he was also afraid that he would ask him about Luan Niao, so he also pretended not to see it, and sat in the ring and waited for the referee Chu Hao to announce the start of the game.

Slowly, the people in the square gathered more and more, and the three war saints came, and even the divine generals came, and they all wanted to see what amazing performance this young man had today. Only Nangong Muyang had no bottom in his heart, and told his apprentice to be cautious when competing, for fear that he would lose the game.

Unconsciously, half an hour had passed since the competition, and Tang Daniu didn't even see a figure, and everyone was surprised, and immediately exchanged heads and began to discuss.

Xu Chen was also impatient, and he said loudly to Kong Biao: "Senior Uncle, has Senior Brother Tang become less bold and dare not come to the competition?"

Kong Biao was also puzzled, he hurriedly arranged for two apprentices to find Tang Da Niu, and specially explained to them that no matter whether they were dead or alive, they must pull Tang Da Niu over to compete.

It took a long time for these two people to bring Tang Daniu to the square, and to everyone's surprise, Tang Daniu actually had bandages on his arms. Kong Biao was about to ask him why he was late, but one of the disciples had already stepped forward and whispered a few words to him.

After hearing this, Kong Biao immediately said to Tang Daniu: "You bastard, I, I ......" He held his breath and couldn't say a complete sentence.

It turned out that Xu Chen really guessed that after Tang Daniu went back to tell his master about Xu Chen's situation yesterday, Kong Biao didn't react at all, but let him concentrate on tomorrow's game.

Seeing that the wind was not in the right direction, Tang Da Niu felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what the problem was, the only thing he could be sure of was that he had framed Xu Chen many times before, and tomorrow Xu Chen would definitely settle the new and old accounts in the ring, how could he easily spare himself.

The more this guy thinks about it, the more scared he becomes, he didn't sleep all night last night, and in the early hours of the morning, he actually thought of a bad idea, that is, he deliberately injured himself, so that the competition would be canceled, and he didn't need to worry about it. So he cut his wrist with a knife, but lied to outsiders that he accidentally fell and broke his arm.

But how could such a little trick hide from the master's eyes, Kong Biao is such a smart person, listening to his disciples, he immediately understood what was going on, he never dreamed that this uncompetitive apprentice would come to such a hand, which made his face go down.

Tang Daniu pretended to be pitiful below and said, "Master, I'm sorry for your old man, if it weren't for the accidental injury......

"Get out, get out! get rid of this useless thing!" Before he finished speaking, Kong Biao angrily waved his hand.

"Haha!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Tang Daniu was about to sneak away cheekily, but was stopped by Liu Hanshan.
