Shen Ming reached out and picked up a black bead the size of a little thumb from a pile of rubble, looked at the extremely black bead, and smiled with satisfaction.

This is the real gluttonous stone, and the scattered pieces of rubble are just its companions.

The function of the gluttonous stone is very simple and practical, and it can be refined through a unique secret method, which can be made into a magic weapon that gives birth to a space inside.

Shen Ming is not in a hurry, although he has learned the method of refining weapons from the book, he has never put it into practice, at this time, he naturally can't rush to refine this gluttonous stone, but to use other things to practice his hands, so as not to waste things when he gets it.

He glanced at the companion creatures scattered around, although these things were not as valuable as the gluttonous stone itself, but as companions, they also had extraordinary effects

Shen Ming casually picked up a piece from the ground, then picked up Zhou Zhi's judge's pen, and slowly began to refine the weapon.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the room where Shen Ming was was flickering with some dazzling light from time to time.

......

Next.

The sky is slightly bright.

There was a long queue outside Beiwang City, all of which were people living outside Beiwang City waiting to enter the city.

However, for people like Gong Qing and them, naturally there is no need to be so troublesome.

Gong Qing walked to the city gate and took out his chivalrous order, and the soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to slack off when they saw it, and hurriedly let a few people into the city respectfully.

This is also one of the perks of the Chivalry Order.

Beiwangcheng, a big city generally has a six-door branch, and they are all near the official yamen, Gong Qing and a few people entered the city, and went straight away.

After returning the wanted warrant for Tiger Cliff, Gong Qing and the others appeared at the six doors again.

Gong Qing looked at a few people and ordered, "A few of you go back to the villa first and report what happened this time." ”

Chu Wei asked, "What about you, Senior Sister Gong?"

Gong Qing said: "I still have some things to do, you guys go back first!"

A few people nodded, and then left together.

Seeing that several people had left completely, Gong Qing slowly turned around and walked briskly in the direction in her memory.

She felt that the old man who was down and out of the mood must be very interested in what had happened last night.

In a very remote location in the city, there is a very simple house, and in front of the gate of the house, there is an old man who is also very poorly dressed.

The old man was very old, his old hair was about to fall out, his thin face was covered with age spots, and his teeth were basically gone.

The old man's eyes kept looking at the end of the alley, as if he was expecting someone.

Gong Qing's arrival was seen by the old man, and he slowly got up with great effort, pushed open the closed courtyard door behind him, and slowly walked into the courtyard.

Gong Qing came to the courtyard gate, stretched out her hand to take off her boots, and then stepped on the snow-white socks and walked into the courtyard gate.

This is the rule of the elderly.

Entered the courtyard gate.

Even if she had been to this mansion before, when she saw it at this time, Gong Qing was still surprised by the cleanliness of the mansion.

In pristine condition!

It's a fitting word, the white socks have been walking on the ground for so long, and they are still as clean as before.

Not only that, but she also found that the setting and scenery of the courtyard were the same as those seen the previous times, even the pruning of the flowers and plants, and it was as if time had never slipped away.

"Sit, what's the matter?"

Listening to the old man's voice greeting him oldly, Gong Qing sat down, and then looked up at the old man.

Gong Qing said slowly: "The junior met Shen Xiu, but the junior is not sure if it is him. ”

The old man's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Gong Qing, and he just said "oh!" very calmly.

Gong Qing didn't care either, and continued to speak clearly about what happened on the Tiger Cliff last night, without the slightest concealment.

After the matter was finished, the old man did not say anything, Gong Qing did not speak anymore, and the court fell silent for a while.

This lonely atmosphere made Gong Qing very uncomfortable, and she couldn't imagine how the old man spent his time alone on weekdays.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the old man to speak.

"I'll talk about the opening story at this birthday banquet. ”

Gong Qing frowned slightly when she heard this, the old man's request made her feel a little embarrassed.

"This ......"

The old man continued to speak: "It's nothing, you go back and tell Zheng Yangjian, he will agree." ”

Gong Qing nodded.

The old man waved his hand.

Gong Qing naturally understood what he meant, bowed down, took a few steps back, and turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.

After Gong Qing left, the old man slowly got up, took out a white silk handkerchief, and carefully wiped it in the place where Gong Qing had just sit.

He didn't bother, because the owner of the yard loved to be clean.

When he had done this, the old man sat down again outside the courtyard gate, and looked quietly at the end of the alley, as before.

Gong Qing left the mansion and returned to the bustling street again, and suddenly felt like a world away, she found a good direction and went straight to the city gate.

As she passed by the six doors, she habitually glanced sideways.

I saw an ox cart full of wine jars slowly driving towards the six gates, and a Taoist wearing a Taoist robe was lying on dozens of wine jars, and the Taoist was carrying wine and pouring wine into his mouth at this time.

Wine man?

Gong Qing had this name in her mind, but she was not very sure in her heart.

is also a Taoist priest, Gong Qing compared the Taoist priest in front of him with Shen Ming, and found that this is really incomparable.

Well...... It looks like the gap is quite large.

Gong Qing shook her head, and didn't have much to do, and continued to walk towards the location of the city gate.

However, after she left, the Taoist priest on the ox cart slowly got up, looked in the direction she left suspiciously, touched her head, and then lay down again.

When leaving the city gate, there was still a long queue at the city gate, and Gong Qing showed the token according to the old rules and walked out of the city gate easily.

"Huh!"

She was slightly surprised by the five people who passed by, and she looked back to see a middle-aged man just showing his token.

Fifth-level Golden Order, Yan!

The master of the Five Holy Gates, Yan Sheng, a grandmaster-level master!

Gong Qing came up with this name in his mind, looked at the rest of the people around Yan Sheng, and then thought about the person he saw earlier who was suspected to be a wine man.

Vaguely, she felt that a storm was brewing.

Gong Qing returned to the villa, her master was waiting in front of the villa, saw Gong Qing, and hurriedly beckoned Gong Qing over.

"Come with me, the two ancestors want to see you!"

Gong Qing was not surprised, nodded and followed.

In the owner's hall.

Regarding the questions of the two ancestors, Gong Qing answered all the questions, and once again recounted what happened last night.

She didn't know what the reason was, so she chose to hide the idea of getting out of the sword dance, but she just took the process in one sentence, relayed what Shen Ming asked her to bring, and finally said the same thing about the meaning that the old man asked her to convey.

After listening to all the words, Zheng Yangjian slowly spoke: "I know, you go down first!"

Gong Qing replied: "Yes, patriarch, the disciple retires!"

Gong Qing slowly withdrew from the temple door, closed the temple door with her hand, and then walked forward slowly with her thoughts.

"Click!"

A small voice pulled her mind back, she turned her head in confusion, the sound of the teacup falling to the ground just now seemed to come from the owner's hall.

"He didn't die, and he dared to come back!"

This seems to be the voice of Patriarch Wang, Gong Qing thought in her heart that Gong Qing basically guessed what Patriarch Wang was talking about, but she didn't dare to stay longer, so she hurriedly hurried away at a faster pace.

Shortly after Gong Qing left.

There was a white dove flying out of the sky above Chuanjian Villa with a letter.

There were several disciples at the back door, one person and three horses, and they left in a hurry with the letter.

The main gate was wide open, and there were four horse-Chinese cars slowly driving out, and the people in the car were sitting.

The owner of Chuanjian Villa, the Divine Shadow Swordsman, Zheng Yangjian!
