"Hurry up, little brother, you can call me Brother Chen, and on formal occasions, you can call me Mr. Chen. Don't call me Teacher Chen, I'm not used to ......" Chen Jiageng helped Chen Fangguo up with a smile and said to him.

"This is not good, in the words of the old master, it is the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, how can this kind of rule be transgressed casually?!"

"Okay, that's right, I didn't expect you to have such an awareness, I'm going to decide on you. It's just that you have to be mentally prepared, it is very hard to cultivate in the academy, and you have to endure loneliness...... Sometimes I think about my students, and it feels like being a monk, very hard, very boring, very ......," Tan Kah Kee emphasized.

Chen Fangguo shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, what you said is actually not a matter, I will definitely be able to persevere." ”

Chen Xuan stood aside and looked at them with interest, he felt that the two classmates in front of him were really too interesting to talk to.

"Brother Chen, do you think what I said makes sense? We were all a family five hundred years ago, so if you talk like this, you will directly deal with your subordinates...... No, now it should be a former subordinate, you just remind him, in the future, you can still call me Brother Chen according to the old rules, I like to hear this title...... To be honest, I am far away from home alone, in fact, sometimes I am quite lonely, and I really want to find someone to talk about family life and family affairs. ”

"Brother Chen, don't worry, this is not a matter, my little brother is very clever, he knows what you say...... His greatest specialty is good eloquence, I believe that after a period of cultivation on your side, it should be even more amazing, maybe he will become a pillar of the Great Chu Empire in the future......"

After listening to Chen Xuan's words, Chen Fangguo was excited, because after all, the master's encouragement was the most effective, and what he said was the most pertinent.

"I'll just talk to him, and we'll probably see each other less in the future. I...... You need to take care of yourself......"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Fangguo's tone was a little choked, Chen Xuan clearly saw from his eyes, there were tears flashing, so he hurriedly comforted him: "You don't have to look like this, aren't we good together......?

Chen Fangguo stopped talking, he looked at Chen Jiageng, as if to say, master, let's go.

For these subordinates, the master only needs one sentence to give them away, although the laws of the Great Chu Empire have prohibited the buying and selling of slaves and maids, but private trading still exists.

However, for people like Chen Fangguo, Chen Xuan actually didn't see him as a subordinate, but as one of his brothers.

To be honest, he is now following Chen Jiageng like this, and Chen Xuan is still a little reluctant in his heart.

If the status is a little higher, you can't be so casual, and even have to open a stage to worship, and then complete it ceremoniously.

For example, the emperor wants to set up a worship platform, and the worship of brothers and other things must be solemn.

Chen Jiageng looked at his new scholar with satisfaction, then didn't say anything, turned his head and said to Chen Xuan: "I have thought of several plans in total, I will tell you now whether it is okay or not, time is pressing, if you think one of them is okay, we will follow this plan." ”

"Brother Chen, you can say it, we will listen to your ......"

"The first plan is that we should go this time, and don't rush to fight him head-on, because according to my observation, he is cunning...... Maybe that Wang Ergou just now was a bait released by Yuwen Li'er, which made us take the bait......"

"You mean to say that he lied to us?!" Chen Fangguo asked.

"That's what worries me as well...... Wang Ergou himself is a road rage, he is in that pavilion, I don't know how many passing merchants have been robbed in the way...... Of course, he himself was cleaned up by us, and he was to blame. Think about it, how could a man as faithless, unrighteous and shameless as he could suddenly find out in his conscience and come to us for the good of their village?!"

"Brother Chen, it's hard to guarantee that his parents, parents, brothers and sisters died at the hands of that person...... I think a person, no matter how bad he is, should not be so indifferent to his family and friends. Chen Xuan asked with some confusion.

"There's a possibility, and there's no way we can rule it out. Chen Fangguo echoed.

"Then how likely do you think this is?!" Chen Xuan asked.

Chen Jiageng pondered for a moment and said, "I think there is at least two or three percent of the possibility." I think it is very likely that this Wang Ergou and that Yuwen Li'er have reached some kind of agreement with each other, or have made an exchange of interests...... As long as he can successfully trick us out, then it's a deal. ”

Chen Xuan remembered the large stack of silver tickets he was carrying, and thought to himself that since this Yuwen Li'er was willing to invest such a large amount of money, he should not do it at least for the time being.

Even if you want to start, you have to wait until that Shangguan Hong is found.

So, he said to Chen Jiageng and them: "Two, I think this possibility is still relatively low, low enough to be ruled out." ”

"I don't think it's likely, but I think he must have found something in Wangjia Village after he left here. Chen Fangguo said.

"It's very unlikely, but we still can't rule it out, right?! In that case, if there is such a possibility, we must first observe the outskirts of the village before determining whether we can enter or not. ”

"It's so simple, just release my Condor. ”

After speaking, I saw Chen Xuan's body shake, and a black sesame seed-sized thing suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, and then this thing got bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and actually turned into a carving more than one person high.

"Yimen Condor ......"

Chen Jiageng's eyes lit up, when he was in Xunyang Academy, he had already heard that people in his hometown talked about such a magical thing, and it is said that only the head of the family has the power to drive.

Unexpectedly, I saw this treasure in the hands of the young master today.

After a brief whisper, the Condor nodded, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky, soon turning into a dark shadow again.

The necks of the three people were sore, and before they could react, they saw that the divine eagle circled in the sky a few times before flying down on Chen Xuan's shoulder.

After another whisper, the Condor retracted its original appearance, and then was put away by Chen Xuan.

"What did Diao'er see?!" Chen Jiageng asked impatiently.

Hearing him ask, Chen Xuan's face became even more grim, he paused, and said: "Just now Diao'er saw a tragic scene, the archway at the entrance of the village has collapsed, and the two newly built wooden houses next to it for trading are gone. ”

"It's not necessarily a bad thing, this shows that Yuwen Li'er and their family's conspiracy has been exposed, and the emperor's ancestral dragon can reopen his eyes again, which is a great thing, it's really good. ”

Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "If only things were so simple. ”

"What does that brother mean?!"

"Not only that, but all the buildings on the ground in the whole village were gone, and we saw the mountain next to it collapse......

"Could it be that when you and that Yuwen Li'er were dueling with each other just now, it was caused by your stomp on the ground?!" Chen Jiageng asked in shock.

"I just doubt that there is such a possibility, it seems that today it was really a mistake, I didn't expect it to lead to the destruction of lives......

Speaking of this, Chen Xuan regretted a lot, although he was now a cultivator of the ninth stage of the mortal realm, this kind of cultivation could never be easily used.

It's like people often say, real people don't show their faces, and they don't show real people.

"Don't blame yourself, maybe all this is not caused by you......"

"I'm just skeptical, and it's still very likely. Chen Xuan regretted it and said.

"Now that the matter has come to this point, it is irreparable, and we should make up for it as much as possible. So what Wang Xiaoer is saying now is probably a little different from what we see. ”

"No matter what, this Yuwen Li'er should still be in this village, let's just rush in and fight with him ...... no matter what, we don't want to do anything," Chen Zhong said.

"No, no, no, you can't be so tough, didn't you see that your master just now caused such a big disaster because of his youthful spirit?!" Chen Jiageng said.

"Brother Chen, what about your second plan?!"

"The second plan should be that Wang Ergou is telling the truth. On the basis of the information he provided, we will give that Yuwen Li'er a turtle in an urn. ”

"So it's possible he's in that cavern?!"

"I'm just saying it's possible...... If he's in the cave, he's really made a big mistake......"

"How to say this, we can surprise him to catch a turtle in an urn, that is, we can suffocate him in it. ”

"I'm afraid there is no need for this, because as long as we suffocate him inside, when we go to the court to complain, there will be no proof of death. On the contrary, it is possible that those with ulterior motives, especially those from their Yuwen family, will say that we are framing them. Besides, the dead don't speak......"

Chen Jiageng smiled and said, "Brother, don't be in such a hurry, I have my own clever plan." ”

Chen Xuan smiled: "I knew you would definitely have a way." ”

As soon as the four of them were summed up, they rushed in one after another, and when they entered the entrance of the village, they were completely different from what they had seen before.

I saw that the archway at the entrance of the village had collapsed to the ground, and the wooden houses on both sides had disappeared, and everyone looked around, except for the quiet hill and the roaring river, there was no sign of human life.

Is there a mistake?!, or is there another time-space disorder?!

Chen Xuan muttered secretly in his heart, he tried his best to recall the situation earlier today, and opened the map left by Ji Xiaofeng to identify it carefully.

Finding out that this place is exactly where Wangjia Village is located, there should be absolutely no mistake.

Soon, to his delight, he continued to walk more than a hundred steps inside, and still clearly saw the rut marks left on the ground.

He happily pointed to these rut marks and said to Tan Kah Kee: "Come and see, this is it, this is it, we have finally found this place." ”

Chen Jiageng also saw it and said, "This is the enchantment, and this is the entrance." It is the heart of the current emperor Zulong...... It seems that there is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them......"

"Is there a tunnel leading to the cave at the location of the cabin at the entrance of the village?" asked Chen Xuan.

"It shouldn't be there, because that place is the location of the dragon's eye, and they built two small cabins to seal the dragon's eye. What we have to find now is the entrance to the cave, and we have finally found it. But now there is still a problem that we have no way to solve......"

"What's the solution?!"

"How do I get in......"

Chen Xuan then remembered that when he first came to this village, he clearly saw that a carriage entered the mountain from here and disappeared.

At that time, he was surprised and told Chen Jiageng about this very strange thing.

It's just that Chen Jiageng was busy protecting the Ji Xiaofeng sisters at the time, and he didn't care too much about what Chen Xuan said.

Unexpectedly, in the end, several of them still have to face this.

"Brother Chen, your cultivation is so high, don't you know how to enter the enchantment?!" Chen Jiageng asked with a smile.

"You're kidding, I'm a quick player. In fact, before that, I was a waste wood at home, and I didn't have much foundation, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to Xunyang Martial Arts Academy to go to martial arts. Chen Xuan said helplessly.

He was also talking about the actual situation, because in his body, except for those few treasures

。

Then there are some secrets in the martial arts that his father Chen Xuan taught him.

For a period of time, due to the big changes in his family, he didn't have much thought about cultivating.

In addition to those most basic exercises, he really doesn't have much more ability than the little brother in front of him.

This is also where he feels distressed, it seems that he really hates books when they are used.

"Come and see, there seems to be a crack here......" Chen Fangguo and Chen Zhong, who were groping around, shouted excitedly in the distance.

Chen Xuan and Chen Jiageng glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in their hearts.

So they hurried to the side of the mountain in three steps and two steps, and saw that there was a large abrupt rock, which had just cracked from the mountain, as if it were a miraculous workmanship.

didn't expect it to have such a great power, Chen Xuan even felt a little surprised himself.

If Chen Jiageng's judgment just now was correct, this big rock should have been caused by Chen Xuan's earth-shattering kick.

Looking through the crack in the rock, you can clearly see a huge space in the black hole, and there seems to be no end in sight.

At this time, Chen Xuan drove his divine sense, and his eyes looked inside without blinking, only to see his expression change from surprise to surprise, and then surprise to surprise.

"Brother, what do you see?!"

"No, no, I see that there is a lot of space in here......"

"Did you hear anyone talk?!"

"How is that possible? It's quiet, there shouldn't be anyone. ”

Chen Jiageng nodded and said, "Okay, let's find a way to move this rock away and go to the cave to have a look." ”

This kind of brainless heavy physical work is simply not a problem for them.

Especially for Chen Xuan, his strength far surpassed them.

This is the best for him!

Therefore, when Chen Xuan told Chen Jiageng to dodge away, he stood on the spot and stood still, and then made a gesture of sinking into the dantian, and then, a layer of steam-like smoke came out of the top of his head, and then his whole body was shrouded in this layer of white smoke.

A few people next to him were stunned, they couldn't see Chen Xuan who was wrapped in this layer of smoke at all.

"Obediently, our young master is going to make a big move...... Today was an eye-opener. First of all, this earth-shattering kick shook the entire village. And now it's a cloud of smoke again......" Chen Zhong didn't dare to blink his eyes, and said excitedly.

"If you talk too much and don't learn your lesson, when you were in the woods, if it weren't for me, you would have become a piece of......"

Chen Fangguo talked about him dissatisfied, and it seemed that he had not forgotten the scene of fighting the shining snake in the woods.

"Hmph, you still say me, you think about yourself...... When you were in the village before, if it weren't for me, you would have been beaten to death by those brothers. ”

It turned out that Chen Zhong remembered that when he and Chen Fangguo were children, they laughed and scolded with those fellow villagers who were older than them in the village.

Since he Chen Fangguo has turned over his old accounts, he might as well flip through a book for him to see.

"Okay, okay, you two brothers are going to separate soon, why do you have to quarrel? Look at your master, what kind of trick is he going to make......" Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Chen Jiageng hurriedly persuaded him.

"Okay, adults don't care about villains, so I won't be like you today. ”

"You ......"

Chen Zhong was so angry with him that he couldn't speak, and because of Chen Jiageng's persuasion, he couldn't say anything more, so he had to look ahead angrily.

I saw that the smoke around Chen Xuan was getting thicker and thicker, and in the blink of an eye, the smoke actually began to roll, only to hear an earth-shattering roar.

The cracked rock, with this roar, turned to dust.

The entrance to a cave with more than two people high and one person wide was presented in front of them.

"Good...... It's really wonderful, so ......."

When Chen Jiageng saw this, they couldn't help but applaud.

However, they had just finished applauding, and they felt that something was not quite right, because according to Wang Ergou, as long as they went over, that Yuwen Li'er would definitely be inside.

Maybe he'd be hiding in the shadows now, or maybe he'd just meet them on a narrow path.

It seems that this matter should not be as simple as they think, maybe there is fraud in it.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan, who was gradually dissipating from the smoke, came to their side after making a few lucky moves, and then expressed his worries.

"Whatever, let's go see it first, I won't believe it......," Chen Zhong shouted.

"No, it's dark, if there's a ghost in here, wouldn't it...... Throw yourself into the net?!" Chen Fangguo said.

"Don't worry about this, I have this thing in my hand......" Tan Kah Kee took out a bead from his arms and said to them.

"What kind of good thing is this?, is it the Pearl of the Night?!" Chen Xuan asked.

Chen Jiageng smiled, and then said: "That's right, this is the Night Pearl, it is said that it was transmitted from overseas body poison, I went to Panyu, the capital of the Southern Dayue Empire, a few years ago, and found such a good thing on the black market." ”

"Well, it's really good, it's really good, then we don't have to worry about the torches. Chen Xuan took it and couldn't help but admire.

"Under normal circumstances, it is completely possible to take more than 100 ......steps," Tan Kah Kee further added.

"So according to what you say, when you were studying, I meant that you didn't need to light the oil lamp at night?!!How much gas money would you have to save?!" Chen Fangguo asked.

"Of course, but under normal circumstances, I still have to light an oil lamp. ”

"Then since there is such a treasure, wouldn't it be ...... to put it there?"

"Don't just get a treasure and show it off, this is the way to deal with people...... Chen Jiageng smiled and said.

"What Brother Chen said is very reasonable, it seems that there are still many places for the younger brother to learn from you, and it is really the ...... that Sansheng is fortunate to be able to follow you."

"Look at Brother Chen, I'm not wrong, this little brother of mine is the best at ...... The beard is slapped. You must make good use of this characteristic of his, for example, after you arrive at Xunyang Academy in the future, if you want to make friends with characters in the officialdom, he can help you. Chen Xuan smiled and said to Chen Jiageng.

"To be a man, you still have to be realistic, and you still have to rely on yourself. Okay, let's stop talking nonsense now, now I'm holding this night pearl in front, and then you follow behind me, everyone must be careful, and withdraw as soon as there is a situation......"

When Chen Xuan and the others followed Chen Jiageng, who was holding the Night Pearl, and cautiously arrived in the cave, they suddenly felt a piercing aura all over their bodies, attacking them in all directions.

There is no way to hide if you want to, this feeling is completely different from when Chen Xuan was drilling holes before.

As Chen Jiageng said just now, the night pearl he was holding in his hand could indeed shine far away, because Chen Xuan could clearly see the cave wall more than a hundred miles away.

It seems to be densely packed up, something is flying around, don't think about it, this should be those bats.

This small creature that likes to hang its body and brain upside down, and the cave is their main habitat.

And the most terrifying thing about this animal is that if an alien creature attacks, they will attack it in groups, and at the same time release a deadly poison on the invader.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan felt an indescribable fear, so he hurriedly reminded them: "Everyone be careful, there are bats in front of you, don't alarm them, it's best to walk slowly, or don't approach them at all." ”

"Brother Chen, look at what ...... is here"

Chen Jiageng didn't seem to pay attention to Chen Xuan's words, but turned his attention to the side.

Chen Xuan looked in the direction of Chen Jiageng's finger and couldn't help but gasp.

I saw that more than a hundred steps to the right of several of them, there were many corpses lying horizontally.

Could it be that this is the same person Wang Ergou cried to them in the courtyard just now?!

"Everyone be careful, Yuwen Li'er may not be far away......," Chen Jiageng reminded.

His words made the vigilance of several people reach the highest.

After Chen Xuan and Chen Jiageng exchanged glances, Chen Xuan took out the Tiger Sword, left them, and then walked towards the pile of corpses.

By the light of the bright luminous beads, he finally saw the appearance of these corpses clearly.

Judging from their dress, they should be some villagers in the vicinity, and their deaths are extremely miserable.

It can be seen that they should have been greatly tortured before their deaths, and they did not have a complete piece of clothing on their bodies, and they were tattered like willow catkins blown by the wind.

However, they didn't have any obvious injuries, because Chen Xuan didn't smell blood, and he didn't see any blood on the ground.

Judging by their expressions, in the moment before they died, perhaps they were frightened in some way.

Chen Xuan thinks that they should be scared to death, so what is this kind of thing that is enough to kill them?!

Chen Xuan thought that today's Great Chu Empire had reached a time of turmoil, from the emperor's relatives to the common people of Limin, everyone was intriguing and exhausted.

All kinds of demons and monsters have taken advantage of this opportunity to come to the world to make waves, and all kinds of people who have seen and have not seen will like to show their faces.

Could it be that they were really killed by Yuwen Li'er as Wang Ergou said?!

As soon as he thought of Yuwen Li'er and that he was the top beast tamer of the Great Chu Empire, Chen Xuan understood everything at once.

These people, these poor villagers, must have been killed by this damn Yuwen Li'er.

He must have driven some terrifying monster he had tamed, and he had scared the villagers to death without much effort.

"Yuwen Li'er, you come out! Yuwen Li'er, you come out for Lao Tzu! You have a kind, get out of Lao Tzu right away! Lao Tzu is going to duel with you today! Lao Tzu is going to fight with you today, you get out of Lao Tzu! Do you hear it?!" Chen Xuan was a little hysterical, he screamed desperately at the air and the dark cave wall.

However, the empty cave walls, except for a few chaotic echoes, were only the sound of startled bats flapping their wings.

"Brother Chen Xuan, get out of the way, it's dangerous ahead, those little things are coming at you......" Chen Jiageng shouted to him from afar.

In a hurry, Chen Xuan looked around, and sure enough, he found that under the cave wall not far ahead, there was a black oppressive thing that was rushing towards him, and it should be those damn little bats......

"Run, everyone, run back, run in the direction of the exit......"

Only then did Chen Xuan realize that this sudden danger was fatal to them, and the only thing to do now was to run out of the cave as soon as possible.

In this way, they have a slight chance of survival.

However, when several of them rushed to the exit, they only heard a loud "boom", and a boulder rolled down from nowhere, blocking the exit tightly.
