Chapter 37: The Problem

"Shopkeeper, some strange things have happened within the Asuka Dao Alliance recently. ”

In the middle of the city.

Xia Fan sat at the noodle stall along the street, while eating the mixed sauce noodles in the bowl in his mouth.

Old Guan noodle stall.

It is said that this noodle stall has been passed down for three generations.

And the Laoguan noodle stall has been passed down to the present by relying on the secret sauce in the noodles.

Someone once paid a lot of money to buy the secret sauce of the Laoguan noodle stall, but the Laoguan noodle stall refused, and he still guards his own small stall, and it seems that he has never thought of expanding his noodle stall.

Xia Fan knew that the old Guan noodle stall was still a year ago.

Although he has always liked to nest in the mountain villa all these years, it does not mean that he will not go out.

The Laoguan noodle stall is located in the nearest town outside the mountain villa.

Therefore.

Every time I think about it.

Xia Fan would go to the town for a walk twice.

On the one hand, you can experience the fireworks of the mortal world, and on the other hand, you can enjoy the local food.

The business of the Lao Guan noodle stall is very hot.

Most of the guests are neighbors in the neighborhood.

At the busiest times.

Basically, there is a long queue.

The fact that Lao Guan Noodle Stalls can have today is not only because of the unique secret sauce, but also because of a very key factor.

The amount is large and the tube is full.

This is the same as when Xia Fan opened the inn in the first place.

For ordinary people who work physical work, it is a supreme pleasure to be able to eat a large bowl of mixed noodles with mixed sauce every day, and then a delicious broth that comes with it.

It's a pity that Xia Fan is not filming "Qingwei World on the Tip of the Tongue".

I will not repeat them one by one about the old Guan noodle stalls.

An inconspicuous corner.

Xia Fan, like many diners, didn't care about his appearance.

Eat noodles and soup.

The noodle stall is not far away.

There was an elderly man with a pipe in his mouth, and from time to time he took a sip of coarse tea on the table.

All the way.

He smiled and looked at the diners who were eating with relish.

This man's name is Lao Guan.

The young man who is busy at the noodle stall is his son Xiaoguan.

In the future, when Lao Guan dies, Xiao Guan will also become Lao Guan, and Xiao Guan's son will become the new Xiao Guan.

Although Lao Guan's body still looks tough.

However, he only cooks noodles himself when he meets regular customers.

Most of the time.

He would sit at a low table next to the noodle stall.

Looking at the diners around him quietly, the happier the diners ate, Lao Guan's smile will always be filled with indescribable satisfaction.

Wait until Xia Fan finishes the third bowl of mixed sauce noodles.

He breathed a sigh of relief, took out his handkerchief and touched his greasy mouth, threw a little money on the table, and swaggered about the market.

It didn't take long.

Ah Chao's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Why are you here?"

Who knew that Xia Fan said as if he was deaf.

"I think there are some situations that need to be reported to the shopkeeper as soon as possible. ”

Ah Chao quietly appeared behind Xia Fan, and the people passing by around him seemed to be unaware.

"Then you can just talk about it, I'm listening. ”

Xia Fan stopped and watched with interest at a vendor who was fiddling with candy men.

There were many plainly dressed children gathered around the vendors, each staring at the candy man in each other's hands.

"There has been a bizarre disappearance in the Asuka Dao Alliance, and among the missing people there is even a Jindan Realm monk. ”

Ah Chao immediately said concisely.

"Are you sure there really is a Jindan Realm monk missing?"

Xia Fan said quietly on the surface.

"It's true, but now the Asuka Dao Alliance has blocked the news and has not announced it to the public for the time being. ”

Ah Chao said in a deep voice.

"Which Jindan Realm monk is missing?"

Xia Fan thought for a while.

"Furukawa Sect. ”

Ah Chao said.

"Guhe Sect, I remember that the Guhe Sect is a major sect in the Flying Bird Dao Alliance that is second only to the Wuhua Sect in strength, do you think this could be done by the Wuhua Sect?"

Xia Fan's eyebrows raised unconsciously.

"Probably not, because the first person to disappear was Ding Ran, a senior disciple of the Wuhua Sect. ”

Ah Chao shook his head.

"A wave of unevenness is rising again and again. ”

Xia Fan muttered thoughtfully.

"Did the shopkeeper find anything?"

Ah Chao asked.

"No, Lao Tzu is not an immortal who can pinch and calculate, but my intuition tells me that this matter is not as simple as it seems. ”

Xia Fan said calmly.

"And I had a vague premonition. ”

“......”

on this.

Ah Chao was silent.

"Forget it, let's wait and see. ”

Xia Fan didn't seem to take it to heart, and continued to wander leisurely.

As for Ah Chao.

Directly in the process of wandering around, he disappeared.

A teahouse.

Walked around for a while.

So he came to this teahouse.

Order a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks.

He watched and listened slowly, and the storyteller on the stage was talking about the storytelling story.

"Hey, it's him."

Unexpectedly, Xia Fan sat down not long after.

Located in the upstairs seat, a young man in a cyan suit suddenly set his eyes on Xia Fan's body.

Because.

The young man seemed to recognize Xia Fan's identity.

Although it hasn't been seen in years.

But he still recognized Xia Fan at a glance.

His name is Xue Qing.

I once stayed at Xia Fan's inn.

But he didn't expect to see Xia Fan in this place.

Since the collapse of Tsing Yi Building.

Xue Qing, who withdrew early, began his aimless wandering life.

all these years.

He has been to many places.

But he never returned to White Sparrow City again.

The four joys of life.

Encounter old acquaintances in a foreign land.

Although Xia Fan is not Xue Qing's old age.

But when he met Xia Fan again in such a place, in addition to doubts and curiosity, Xue Qing also felt surprised and happy.

Evening.

After the storyteller finishes the book.

Xia Fan left the teahouse and prepared to return to the villa.

He naturally found Xue Qing upstairs.

It's just that.

For such little people.

He didn't even take it to heart.

Maybe behind the door of the teahouse.

Yes, I will never see myself again.

However.

Wait until Xia Fan walks out of the teahouse.

He pouted inexplicably, and then walked towards the outside of the town, seemingly nonchalantly.

He walked seemingly slowly.

But the careless man has already walked from the street to the end of the street.

It didn't take long.

He appeared outside the city.

The farther away from town, the more desolate the road becomes.

After all, it's getting dark.

Hardly anyone stays outside the city at this time.

"Come out, I can already smell the smell of you from afar. ”

In the middle of nowhere.

Xia Fan suddenly stopped, shook his head, and sighed lightly.

"Hehe, it's worthy of the person who suppressed Xiao Seventeen, obviously the slave family has been hidden very well, but you still found out. ”

The next moment.

A seductive neutral voice suddenly sounded.

It's a pity that I only hear his voice but don't see him.

"Little Seventeen?"

Xia Fan tilted his head and thought about it.

"Are you worth the demon who made a big fuss in the Asuka Dynasty a few months ago?"

"That's right. ”

A seductive voice said.

"So, are you here to seek revenge on me? ”

Xia Fan said in a calm tone.

"Hehehe, the slave family is very self-aware, since your Excellency can easily solve Xiao Seventeen, how can the slave family be your opponent?"

The seductive voice chuckled like a silver bell.

"Since you're not here to take revenge, what are you doing with Lao Tzu?"

Xia Fan said impatiently.

"The slave family follows Your Excellency, just to know who Your Excellency is. ”

A seductive voice said.

"That's what the person behind you wants to ask, right?"

Xia Fan said indifferently.

"Your Excellency sees. ”

A seductive voice said.

"Go back and tell the people behind you, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke me, I won't interfere in your affairs either. ”

Xia Fan said directly.

"What about Little Seventeen?"

The bewitching voice said coldly.

"He's looking for his own death. ”

Xia Fan said expressionlessly.

"Yes, Your Excellency's words, the slave family will bring it back truthfully. ”

After speaking.

The seductive voice stopped moving.

Xia Fan didn't stay for a moment, and directly returned to the villa by shrinking the ground into inches.

Eat up dinner hastily.

He went to the courtyard as usual to cool off.

"I need an explanation. ”

It was late at night.

But Xia Fan always lay on the rocking chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Suddenly.

He opened his eyes and spoke.

"The demons have their eye on you. ”

Immediately, a cold voice sounded in my ears.

"Of course I do. ”

Xia Fan said in a deep voice.

"But you know that's not what I'm trying to ask about. ”

"The demon who is eyeing you is called Luo Xuan, the other party is the demon king who rules the Qianmu Mountain, and the little seventeen you suppressed is the descendant of the other party. ”

Ji Shang said calmly.

"Luo Xuan will naturally send someone to investigate the situation after knowing the death of Xiao Seventeen, and it is inevitable that he will find out about you, after all, your affairs are not difficult to inquire about. ”

"So the mysterious disappearance of the Asuka Daomeng is related to the other party?"

Xia Fan frowned.

"Yes. ”

Ji Shangdao.

"The other party should have come to you, right?"

Xia Fan said suddenly.

"Yes, after all, my presence will greatly affect the other side's decision-making in future wars. ”

Ji Shangdao.

"Now that there is such an unexpected factor as you, do you think Luo Xuan will not pay attention to you?"

"Why didn't he come in person?"

Xia Fan asked.

"On the one hand, there are people watching Luo Xuan's every move, and on the other hand, I won't allow him to set foot here. ”

Ji Shang said lightly.

"If in the future, after you leave, I'm afraid that Luo Xuan in your mouth will take me as soon as possible, right?"

Xia Fan said coldly.

"I'm not going to give him that chance. ”

Ji Shangdao.

"I can't trust you. ”

Xia Fan shook his head and said.

"But if you decide to stay in the Asuka Dynasty, you can't avoid these things. ”

Ji Shang is still ancient and has no waves.

"Hehe, you've really left me with a big problem. ”

Xia Fan said in a deep voice.

"No one is stopping you from leaving, everything is your own choice. ”

The words fell.

Ji Shang's figure disappeared without a trace.

"Nima's, Lao Tzu knows that it is not good to continue to stay in the Asuka Dynasty. ”

on this.

Xia Fan couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

According to this conversation with each other, it can be seen that Ji Shang is not unfamiliar with Luo Xuan in his mouth.

It's normal to think about it.

After all, at his level.

How could you not know a demon king like Luo Xuan.

What's more, he has blessed the Flying Bird Dynasty for more than 500 years, and he may not know how many times he has dealt with Luo Xuan secretly.

There is one thing he should not be lying.

Luo Xuan couldn't make a move on him easily.

In other words, Xia Fan is a high-level human monk, and he will also focus on keeping an eye on the every move of a demon king like Luo Xuan.

But there is a time when everything is close and negligent.

Once Luo Xuan finds an opportunity, he will inevitably take action against him.

With Xia Fan's current cultivation as the realm.

In the face of a demon king, he has no chance of winning, and it is good to be able to save his life.

Because.

He is still in the realm of human immortals.

It's just that he is now more than a step stronger than ordinary human immortals.

Since he fled to Dongmingzhou.

Don't look at how he looks like he has nothing to do all day, but his cultivation has never been left behind.

The problem is if he wants to move to the next level.

To say the least, it will take a hundred years.

If a third of a hundred years have passed.

There are still two-thirds of the way to go.

Seventy years is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

For ordinary practitioners.

If you can be promoted to a new realm within a hundred years, and it is a realm above the human immortals, I don't know how many people will jump with excitement.

But time waits for no one!

Seeing that the war between demons and humans is about to break out.

What's more, he is always facing the threat of a demon king.

If he has a cultivation realm above the immortals.

Where would he still think about that now?

All the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.

"Husband, you seem to be a little annoyed, have you encountered any problems?"

After returning to Dong Chae-ling's boudoir.

Years of sharing a bed.

Dong Cailing is already quite familiar with Xia Fan, the pillow person.

And Xia Fan didn't hide his feelings.

So as soon as he entered the house.

Dong Cailing noticed his abnormality, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask with concern.

"Your husband does have a very difficult problem. ”

After sitting at the table and pouring himself a cup of tea, Xia Fan shook his head and said without concealment.

“...... Husband, is there anything Cailing can do to help you?"

Dong Cailing couldn't help biting her lip when she heard this.

"I'm afraid you can't help this matter, and even I don't have the confidence to solve it. ”

Xia Fan said with a deep gaze.

"Husband......

Seeing this, Dong Cailing subconsciously reached out and gently tugged at the hem of Xia Fan's clothes.

"Wouldn't the problem you have had related to Cailing?"

"Don't get cranky. ”

Xia Fan stretched out his hand and stroked Dong Cailing's little head and said with relief.

“......”

Dong Cailing snuggled into Xia Fan's arms and fell silent.

It's a woman's intuition.

Is this related to Dong Cailing?

If Dong Cailing was willing to leave the Bird Dynasty with Xia Fan, perhaps he would no longer have to face the problems in front of him.

True.

He can indeed leave Dong Cailing alone.

You must know that each other is only a superficial couple, and they have not even had any substantive relationships.

However.

This is not in line with Xia Fan's style of life.

Since he has regarded Dong Chae-ling as his wife, no matter what, he will not abandon the other party because of danger.

Just like he won't abandon Peaches, Ah Chao and Xiao Ming.
