An aunt with a vegetable basket in her hand saw Chen Ruhui and immediately greeted her warmly.

Chen Ruhui also seemed to know this aunt who sold vegetables, greeted each other with a smile, walked up and the two began to chat, Qu Wei explained: "This is Aunt Liu we met in Shixia Town, our disciples usually come to perform tasks, and they all stay at her house. ”

"I see, it seems that Miss Chen is also quite popular here. ”

"It's not just here, let me tell you, there are also many people who love Senior Sister Chen in the other two sects, and my sect has a master to suppress other people's dissatisfaction for you, but the other two are not, you should be careful yourself. Qu Wei said in a low voice.

Chen Xuanqi didn't care, some people were jealous of the relationship between him and Lu Xiaoxiao in Yue Huazong at the beginning, and later after he showed his strength above the big competition, these voices slowly disappeared.

"Senior Brother Qu, Chen Xuanqi, you two come here, it just so happens that Aunt Liu has bought vegetables, we can go to her house for dinner. Chen Ruhui, who was not far away, waved and shouted at the two.

Qu Wei responded: "That's great, I haven't tasted Aunt Liu's craftsmanship for a long time." ”

The three of them followed Aunt Liu through the only main road in the town, Aunt Liu's house was in the center of the town, it was a two-story tiled house, and usually when a disciple of the Liuyun Sect came over, they would arrange to rest on the second floor.

"Lao Liu, the little immortal of the Liuyun Sect is here. ”

As soon as Aunt Liu stepped into the house, she shouted loudly, and a middle-aged man walked from the backyard to the front hall, and when he saw that it was Qu Wei and Chen Ruhui, he said happily: "The two of you have worked the road, hurry up and sit down and rest." ”

The middle-aged man didn't notice one more person at first, but later saw another Chen Xuanqi standing behind, looking at this fresh face, he wondered, "I don't know who this is?"

Chen Ruhui introduced very positively: "This is Chen Xuanqi, he is from Yue Huazong, and this time he is also here to help our three sects get rid of the corpses. ”

Liu Laosan was a mortal, so naturally he hadn't heard of Chen Xuanqi having a double spirit root, but they still knew about Yue Huazong's name.

"The villain has eyes and does not know the master, please don't be surprised by this little fairy, the home is simple, please bear with me. Liu Laosan hurriedly turned over the teacup on the table and turned it over, making tea and pouring water.

Chen Xuanqi naturally didn't care, he smiled and said: "Uncle Liu is too polite, you are an elder in terms of age, just call me Xiao Chen." ”

Liu Laosan formally nodded and agreed, but he still didn't dare to call it that, the monks are all people with capricious emotions, and they don't know when they turn against each other, and they ordinary people naturally have to be treated carefully.

The three of them sat down around the table, sipping tea, and Qu Wei and Chen Ruhui asked Liu Laosan about some of the recent situation in the town.

"Uncle Liu, have any spirit corpses wandered around the town recently?"

"Recently, there have been fewer of them, since the one called the Immortal Corpse Daoist was driven away by you, the number of zombies here has decreased a lot, not to mention the spirit corpses, and I haven't even seen a shadow. Liu Laosan thought about it for a while before saying.

The expression on Qu Wei's face was also much more relaxed, before the Immortal Corpse Daoist was discovered, Shixia Town attracted a lot of zombies to wander from the peak where the ancient tomb was located to the vicinity of Shixia Town because the Immortal Corpse Daoist secretly dug the grave and refined the corpse, and that period of time was also the time when the most injured people were infected with corpse poison, and many townspeople who had not had time to be cured turned into zombies.

Chen Ruhui also patted her proud chest and said, "Fortunately, that Rotten Corpse Daoist died in the hands of Chen Xuanqi, otherwise he would definitely come back to take revenge on us." ”

When Liu Laosan heard that even the Immortal Corpse Daoist had died in Chen Xuanqi's hands, his eyes looked at Chen Xuanqi with more respect, and after a while, Aunt Liu successively brought the prepared meals from the kitchen in the backyard.

"Come on, a few home-cooked side dishes, everyone makes do with them. ”

Aunt Liu also specially brought a small jar of wine, and Liu Laosan was going to pour wine for Qu Wei and Chen Xuanqi first, but Chen Xuanqi refused, so he had to hand a bowl to Qu Wei.

After the three of them were full of wine and food, they began to discuss the next actions.

The agreed location of the three sects is the only inn in Shixia Town, the Gongshi Inn, and the other two sects are closer to Shixia Town than Liuyun Sect, even they have arrived here, and the people from the other two sects should have arrived a long time ago.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu for your hospitality, let's go meet them first. Qu Wei said politely.

Liu Laosan smiled honestly: "It's okay, when you come back, come to me again, I'll buy a few kinds of game for my wife to make for you to eat." ”

Gongshi Inn and Liu Laosan's home are only separated by a few buildings, Chen Xuanqi and they walked a few steps to arrive, this inn is a relatively luxurious building in Shixia Town, but compared to the Fenglai Inn in Changxiang City, it is simply one in the sky and one on the ground.

The three of them walked into the inn, there were not many guests in the inn usually, and there were two tables of people sitting in the entire lobby, and each table was two people together.

"Qu Wei, your Liuyun Sect has also made us wait too long, which oil bottle did you bring with you this time?"

As soon as a man saw Qu Wei walking in front, he immediately sneered, but he immediately saw the beautiful woman following behind, and his eyes immediately straightened.

"Ru Hui, I didn't expect you to come this time, you haven't eaten yet, come on, we ordered a few of the best dishes here." ”

Chen Ruhui walked behind, of course she heard what the man said to Qu Wei in front of her, she didn't even bother to communicate with the man, and deliberately shifted her gaze to other places.

Qu Wei was secretly happy in his heart, this man was Deng Mao from Huaqing Sect, usually the three sects had more exchanges, this Deng Mao was proud of himself, and looked down on people who were weaker than himself, the innate disciples of Liuyun Sect and Huayu Valley were not worth mentioning in his eyes, even Gong Xi and others in the early stage of concentrating were ridiculed by him, but only Chen Ruhui was he who did not dare to talk nonsense.

"Brother Qu, you don't have a meal, if not, you can dine with us. ”

The disciples of Huayu Valley at the other table also sent out an invitation, and the person who spoke was a woman with a delicate face, she was wearing a plain blue robe, and whispered softly.

Qu Wei politely refused: "Miss Qu, no need, we have already eaten at Liu Laosan's just now, let's find a place to sit for a while, and wait for you to finish eating." ”

After the three of them found an empty table and sat down, Chen Xuanqi introduced himself: "Hello to the four fellow Daoists, I am Chen Xuanqi of Yue Huazong, and I am entrusted by the three sect masters to serve as one of the captains of this operation, please bear with me." ”

Chen Xuanqi bowed, and the three disciples of the other two sects also politely returned the salute, only Deng Mao looked at Chen Xuanqi with disdain, and said: "I thought that Sect Master Lu had found some powerful character to lead the action, but it turned out to be just a congenital boy." ”

Qu Wei heard Deng Mao's disrespectful remarks, and also said the name of his master, and said angrily: "Deng Mao, what do you mean, Chen Xuanqi's appointment was jointly decided by the three sect masters, what kind of thing are you, you dare to question the decision of the three sect masters." ”

Deng Mao slapped the table and said: "The trip to Gumu is dangerous and unpredictable, the stronger the person who is the captain, the better, I am the highest cultivation among the seven of us, the three sect masters must be confused by this kid, can't the decision made by the three old men be wrong?"

After saying this, even his companion's expression stiffened a little, the male disciple was called Dong Qing, and he said, "Senior Brother Deng, the master will definitely be unhappy when he hears you say this, have you forgotten what the master said?"

The disciple of Huayu Valley over there also had a very ugly face, Qu Xiaolu frowned slightly, and said: "Deng Mao, don't think that you can talk nonsense if you are a high cultivator, you dare to say that my master is an old man, wait for me to return to the sect, tell her your original words, and see how my master comes to ask for an explanation." ”

Deng Mao realized the offending point in his speech just now, but he couldn't pull it off, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "I just don't accept this congenital kid leading us, what I said just now is all angry words, not what I think in my heart, you... You kid, don't you dare to fight me? ”

Chen Xuanqi couldn't believe what he heard, he looked at Deng Mao suspiciously, and asked, "What were you talking about just now, do you say it again?"

"I said, do you dare to fight with me, if you lose, this captain will give it to me. ”

Chen Xuanqi laughed, Chen Ruhui heard Deng Mao's request, no matter how good her temper was, she was also angry, and shouted: "Deng Mao, are you sick?" Chen Xuanqi He has a thunder spirit root, and he has a natural restraint advantage over spirit corpses, this time the three sect masters asked him to be the captain in order to protect us, and now you want to suppress him with cultivation?"

Chen Xuanqi stretched out his hand to block in front of Chen Ruhui, signaling her not to continue arguing, he said: "A monk in the concentrating stage proposes a duel against a monk in the early stage of congenitalism, it is really a shame for you Deng Mao. ”

"Then you can honestly give me the position of captain, and save you from suffering from flesh and skin. Deng Mao's face turned red when he was said like this.

Chen Xuanqi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll fight with you, but the condition is that if you don't defeat me within five moves, I will still be the captain, and the spiritual elixir you collect later will be divided into fifty percent for me, how about it?"

None of the others thought that Chen Xuanqi would dare to accept Deng Mao's challenge, although Chen Xuanqi had a good reputation outside, but it was all about his dual spirit root talent, as for his strength, he only knew that he was very good among the innate stage cultivators.

But there is a big realm difference between the condensation period and the innate stage, and this threshold is not so easy to cross, even if there are only five moves, the early congenital monks have no way to resist the spiritual attack of a contemplation monk, not to mention that Deng Mao, as the strongest among the seven people, is already the strength of the late stage of condensation.
