He Xiaozi's face changed, his eyes were a little evasive, and he pretended to be calm: "I don't know what this benevolent brother means?"

"Do you want me to say it again, or do you want to try the sword in my hand first?" Duan Qing disagreed, repeating again.

The scene suddenly became quiet again, and seeing that Duan Qing didn't seem to be joking, He Xiaozi had no choice but to sigh and said slowly: "Okay, I really can't hide it from you, but I want to know your name." ”

"Duanqing. ”

"Okay, Brother Duan, you should be wondering why I was hunted down by them, and for what reason I offended Canghai Villa. Seeing that Duan Qing didn't speak, He Xiaozi said again: "It's not a secret, Canghai Villa is the owner of this area, and it has close contacts with Luojia Town and Luoyu Town on weekdays, and a grand ceremony is being held in their villa recently." ”

"Ceremony, where is Canghai Villa?" Duan Qing said a few words silently in his heart, but he didn't hear anything in his memory, and asked suspiciously.

"Oh, it seems that Brother Duan rarely asks about these things, the location of Canghai Villa is in Tianzong Mountain, which is thirty miles away from here, because it is surrounded by lakes on three sides, and has a view like watching the sea, so it is called Canghai Villa. He Xiaozi's explanation will tell you the origin of Canghai Villa one by one.

"And what is the so-called ritual?"

He Xiaozi pondered for a while, and said a little strangely: "Actually, I don't know very well, I heard that it is related to something that has been handed down from Canghai Villa through the generations, and I was mistaken for a thief by Canghai Villa because I wanted to see the so-called treasure." Speaking of this, he also made a very helpless expression.

Not only that, but they also invited the strongest people from all walks of life to come and witness it, and there was also a competition, and the winner could have the honor to see the treasures of their town. ”

This time, he was confused, and hurriedly said, "Does this have anything to do with you being chased and killed by them?"

It's not that Duan Qing doesn't understand, but he doesn't understand a little, He Xiaozi was caught as a thief just to take a look at the so-called treasure of Zhenzhuang.

It doesn't make sense to be reasonable, and it must be in some kind of purpose to decide the number of places to be able to see the treasure of Zhenzhuang in the end with a competition.

Seeing that Duan Qing mentioned the matter of him being hunted down again, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Brother Duan, don't mention the previous matter, by the way, is Brother Duan interested in going to the magic of that treasure?"

"Oh, can I go with my strength? As a strong mountain villa, shouldn't it be a competition between masters, isn't it? Duan Qing thought about it for a while, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"A wise man speaks, and one sentence is better than ten. He Xiaozi didn't forget to pat Duan Qing's fart, and followed closely: "This competition in Canghai Villa is not a competition between those strong people who refine the eighth or ninth rank, it is said that if you want to see that treasure, you can only see it with the strength of cultivating the sixth stage or less of the refining body, as for the reason, I don't know, how about it?

"Why are you so concerned if I don't want to go, do you still want to go back?" Duan Qing looked at the wounds on He Xiaozi's body, "You look like this, let's find a place to treat the injuries on your body first." ”

Unexpectedly, He Xiaozi didn't care about the injuries on his body at all, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't worry, a little injury, it's not in the way, I will heal my injuries myself, but, listening to Brother Duan's tone, it seems that I have a trace of interest, why don't we go together, how about it?"

Duan Qing pondered for a while, and when he thought of the mysterious treasure, he wanted to go and see it.

With a decision, Duan Qing nodded and said, "Brother He is tired of leading the way." ”

"Hehe, be polite, I have long watched Duan's brother look extraordinary, he is young, he has such a cultivation, this competition, the first must be you. He Xiaozi still didn't forget to take a picture of Duan Qing's sycophant, and walked towards the outside of the woods with Duan Qing.

Two hours later, Duan Qing, under the leadership of He Xiaozi, came to a huge lake.

"Brother Duan, it's here. He Xiaozi stopped and said to Duan Qing on the side.

Duan Qing is enough to forget, looking at the scenery of the lake that is not weaker than the demon beast forest sea, it is also breathtaking.

"Hehe, let's go, let's go up first, and in three days it will be the day when the competition begins, so you can't miss it." He Xiaozi patted Duan Qing's shoulder and pointed to a mountain villa not far away.

"Let's --!"

"Who's coming?"

The two staggered to the gate of the villa, and a guard looked at them vigilantly and blocked their way.

"This little brother, we came to watch the competition, I don't know if we can be accommodating. Duan Qing still bowed his hand to the guards very politely, but He Xiaozi on the side was hesitant.

"Oh, are you here to participate in the competition, if you want to participate in the competition, it's no problem, one hundred spars per person!" The guard raised his nostrils and opened his mouth to let Duan Qing pay money.

When He Xiaozi heard this, he immediately couldn't bear it, and stepped forward and said, "What do you mean, you only received ten spars when I came, and now it has risen tenfold, and you are sitting on the ground and starting the price." ”

"Yes, the price is set by our owner, if you have any objections, you can find our owner to theorize, oh, I almost forgot, you can't even get in, let alone see the owner. The guard scoffed, not impressed.

"You. ”

"Okay, here are a hundred spars, now we can go in, right?" He Xiaozi just wanted to say something more, Duan Qing stopped him, and with a thought, a small cloth bag appeared in his hand, and he threw it directly to the guards, so he took He Xiaozi in.

"Don't go in and walk around, someone will come to meet you" The guard took the money bag, weighed it with a smile, and didn't stop them, and counted them by himself.

"Thank you. ”

"Squeak--!"

Duan Qing pushed open the door and came to Canghai Villa with He Xiaozi.

Spacious houses, dust-free courtyards, and faint shouts can be heard not far away.

"What about the people they are talking about? Why haven't they come yet? He Xiaozi looked around, but didn't see anyone here.

"What are you anxious about, there are still three days, and besides, haven't you been to Canghai Villa, how can you not know the road inside?" Duan Qing glanced at He Xiaozi, and He Xiaozi was uncomfortable.

"This, ahem, it's not that Brother Duan doesn't know that we are chasing and killing, and I didn't enter through the gate, so I didn't have time to take a closer look at the layout of the villa. He Xiaozi snorted and covered up his embarrassing scene.

Duan Qing naturally knew what he meant, and didn't say anything.

"Two, are you here to participate in our Canghai Villa's once-in-a-year competition on the sea? Well, yes, yes, a body refining fifth stage, just to be able to participate, oh? There is actually a little ghost who refining the fourth stage of the body. Suddenly, just when Duan Qing and He Xiaozi were still talking to each other, an old and indifferent voice sounded in their ears.

"Who!" Relying on the experience of fighting in the Demon Beast Forest Sea, Duan Qing was immediately in a state of vigilance, and directly put his hand on the hilt of the Red Sword Tianji.

The other party saw through his and He Xiaozi's cultivation at a glance, and his cultivation was definitely extraordinary.

"Hey, little brother, don't get excited, don't get excited, I'm not a bad person. The old indifferent voice sounded again, but there was a very helpless taste in it, "I just said it casually, no offense, if you have something to say, put down the sword first." ”

Under the vigilant gaze of Duan Qing, the owner of the voice also appeared in front of the two.

This person is dressed in cyan linen, with snow-white and messy hair, coupled with his old and wrinkled face, which makes people think that they are some kind of monster at first glance.

He Xiaozi opened her mouth wide on the side, really startled by the old man's appearance.

"Old man, are you?" In contrast, Duan Qing is quite calm, he will not relax just because the other party is an old man, he can observe the cultivation of others at a glance, and in addition to having special martial arts, that is, his cultivation is much higher than his own.

"Hehe, I am your butler to participate in the competition in the sea this time, of course, I am also the housekeeper of Canghai Villa, you can call me Hou Steward, let's go, don't stay, I will go and see where you live now, the competition will start in three days, but it is the most solemn ceremony of our Canghai Villa. The housekeeper greeted the two of them eagerly, and led them through the houses.

From time to time, there will be a collision of qi in the ears, as well as the shouts of the warriors, which attract the sideways glances of Duan Qing from time to time.

"Hehe, those are the people from the great families of other towns who came to participate, Situ Ming from Heavenly Wolf Town, Jiang Wenyu, a genius of the Jiang family in Qingyan Town, Ge Tianheng, a genius from the third-class sect Breaking Yue Sect, and many forces from all walks of life. The housekeeper led the way in front while touching a few whiskers on his chin, and explained the current situation to Duan Qing.

Duan Qing nodded, touched his chin, and didn't say a word, He Xiaozi on the side didn't care too much, and he didn't know what to think when he lowered his head.

Not long after, under the leadership of the housekeeper, Duan Qing and the two came to another house.

"Squeak--!"

"Here, the two of you will rest here for the next few days, and if you have any requirements, you can just order your subordinates. The butler pushed open the door and spoke.

"Hehe, it's good to have a place to live, let's go in. ”

Seeing that the two of them had entered the house, the butler waited for him to leave.

In the house, He Xiaozi sat directly on the chair, looked at Duan Qing, and said, "Brother Duan, do you have a chance of winning the competition in three days?"

Hearing this, Duan Qing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I didn't say I wanted to participate, I just came to see." ”

"Ah, Brother Duan, we said okay, let's participate in the competition together, how can you regret it!" Seeing Duan Qing's posture as a bystander, He Xiaozi jumped up.

"I didn't promise anything to participate in the competition on the sea, you finished talking by yourself, and I didn't have anything to say. Duan Qing's eyes purred, and he didn't care at all.

After listening to it, He Xiaozi thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, so he had no choice but to touch his head and said with a sneer: "This." Brother Duan, if you don't participate, just be a companion with me, if you get the first place, brother, I will definitely take you to see that baby, and besides, don't you want to see those geniuses fighting, if you participate, you can learn from geniuses from all sides, and it will also be of great benefit to the mastery and progress of cultivation!"

Duan Qing raised his eyebrows, He Xiaozi's last sentence undoubtedly said the key, and now he did continue to improve his cultivation, thinking a little in his heart: "If I participate, I shouldn't have any loss, even if I lose, it will be beneficial and harmless to me." ”

He looked down at the Ask Immortal Ring in his hand, and a sense of battle arose, "As the master of the Ask Immortal Ring, how can I be worse than them, let me see what the strength of the so-called genius is." ”

Looking at He Xiaozi, Duan Qing smiled lightly and said, "Okay, Brother He has said this, I won't participate, it seems that it is my loss, I promise you to participate in this sea competition." ”
