Because of the agreement with the old flame-loving beast, Xiao Cong made a general tour of the civilian area of the Holy City, and saw that the helpers were in good order and the project was going smoothly, so he didn't stop any longer, but only slightly instructed Xiaofeng, Ouyang Xun, Yuwen Fengdu and the old helper foreman to say a few words, and hurried back to the post house where the Xiao family lived temporarily, he couldn't help but wonder- Why haven't I seen this guy today, but the earth, stone, wood and iron piled up there have obviously increased compared to yesterday, so he is sure that Xingliuyun must have come back last night, but at this time, this problem does not allow him to think too much, there are priorities, you know, properly settling the old flame-loving beast is also one of the orders given to him by Xing Guanghao, if Zhang Meng really catches him first, then things will be really difficult to handle, after all, the matter of face and friendship is always very difficult.

Xiao Cong returned to the post house, walked through the hall to the living room, and made a pot of good tea for the servant, he sat upright on the carved wooden chair in the middle of the living room, smelling the fragrance of Nana's tea, his fingers rhythmically tapped the wooden table, quietly waiting for the arrival of the old flame-loving beast, he knew that the old flame-loving beast would definitely come, and it would come soon-even the well-trained heavy armored soldiers of the Holy City could not guard him, how could his small post gate be under his words?

Sure enough, Xiao Cong sat in the living room for less than a cup of tea, and faintly felt a familiar qi machine slowly approaching, although that guy was light and silent, but how could the wind and grass within a radius of dozens of meters be able to avoid Xiao Cong's powerful spiritual sense, not to mention that the guy's qi was so special. Xiao Cong's lips just left the wall of the cup, the teacup paused slightly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and slowly hooked a smug smile, he took another sip of tea, slowly put the teacup back on the coffee table in front of him, smiled, and slowly said:

"Whoever comes is a guest, friend, why not come out and speak. ”

A small beast with a fiery red body slowly walked out from behind the door, and stood about three feet away from Xiao Cong, Xiao Cong looked at him condescendingly, with a look of "surprise", he also looked up at Xiao Cong, with a look of wariness.

After looking at each other like this for a while, Xiao Cong smiled and said:

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, what is it to do in the post house where my Xiao family temporarily lives, is it ......?"

"Are you Xiao Cong?" the little beast with a fiery red body asked, the look of vigilance on its face not being reduced by half a point.

Xiao Cong smiled unabated, and said:

"It's Xiao Cong, the fourth son of the Xiao family, who dares to ask the senior, but the person sent by the senior?"

"Senior, which senior?" the old flame-loving beast asked coldly.

Xiao Cong smiled,

"I really don't know what the senior obeyed, but I saw his servant a few days ago and complained to him, but today he told me that the solution to the problem is coming soon, no, you are here. ”

"Humph!"

The old flame-loving beast spewed out rough air in his nostrils, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with this reply, but Xiao Cong's face did not change, how did he not know that the old guy really tricked him, but such a straightforward trap, how to tell him to be fooled.

"I have heard for a long time that Xiao Cong, the fourth son of the Xiao family, is outstanding and extraordinary, and he is an immortal genius who is the leader of today's Yanguan, and I see it today, but so. ”

The old flame beast said calmly, his face was not only indifferent, but even looked a little hostile.

"Provoke me!"

Xiao Cong secretly laughed in his heart, the flame-loving beast clan is dull by nature, this old guy is quite a city, and he can be regarded as an outlier, but from another point of view, people are old and fine, and it seems to be reasonable.

"Gossip, don't listen to it, seeing is believing, the predecessors are so discerning and so straightforward, it really makes Xiao Cong admire. ”

"Humph!"

The old flame-loving beast snorted softly, seeing that Xiao Cong was really sleek, and knew that no matter how he continued to trap it, he would gain nothing, so he immediately stopped being reluctant and began to get back to business, he said:

"Did your senior tell you why I came? ”

Xiao Cong stretched out his hand and motioned for the old flame beast to sit down, and he did it on the chair he was sitting on, and said:

"The seniors are heavy on the poison of the punishment of the day, and there is nowhere to solve it, so I came to Xiao Cong here to ask me to beg my father to set up a formation to remove the poison for the seniors. ”

"How?" said the old flame-loving beast with a drooping face.

"God has the virtue of a good life, and my father is also a person who believes in the way of heaven, and I believe that my father will gladly agree to the request of my predecessors, not to mention that my predecessors are still the head of a family. ”

At this time, I saw the old flame-loving beast suddenly raise its head, and his aggressive gaze shot on Xiao Cong's face, and he said coldly:

"How do you know that I am the patriarch of the Flamephilic Beast Clan!"

Xiao Cong's harmless little face was full of disapproval, and he spread his hands;

"It was the servant of the senior who told me, and he also said that you have a strange poison in your body and cannot protect yourself, so let me not be afraid of you, and do everything possible to protect you, that's all. ”

Xiao Cong clearly saw that the old flame-loving beast's body was constantly trembling, and even his beard trembled, and he could only hear him gritting his teeth and scolding in a whisper:

"This machine spirit!"

"Senior, the younger generation has no ill will towards you, what the younger generation wants is just a cup of inflammatory beast blood, you deign to live here temporarily, as soon as you serve, the younger generation can do it, the matter of building a formation in the slums of the Holy City is imminent, and I hope that the seniors wish the younger generations a helping hand." Xiao Cong got up and bowed happily.

"Come next door tonight. ”

After speaking, the old flame-loving beast jumped off the chair and walked straight to the door, but when he came to the door, he suddenly stopped, Xiao Cong looked at his fiery red back, and heard him say:

"I hope everything you say is true. ”

The voice was low and sad, and there was a faint sigh in the air, gently, but it made people feel extremely heavy in their hearts.

Xiao Cong bowed to the door, but when he stood up straight, he was no longer in sight of the old flame-loving beast.

When the red glow of the sky fell into the West Sea with the remnant sun, night fell, and after a long period of drowsiness and gloom, a full moon slowly rose from the east, rose up the treetops, climbed up the roof, and then became a huge and brightest lantern hanging in the sky, so that the cold fluorescence once again enveloped the earth.

Xiao Cong walked into the study, he thought that from today onwards, the old flame-loving beast was going to live here, and his study would no longer be a place where he could do whatever he wanted. He didn't know why the old flame-loving beast would choose his study as his temporary place to stay, in fact, he wanted to arrange the old flame-loving beast in another room, a room that was more like a sleeping place, but considering the old flame-loving beast was withdrawn by nature, he decisively dispelled this idea - in case he had the wrong tendon and left, the four princes would not be able to explain themselves!

He looked around, and found that the study was neatly arranged, no different from usual, and his eyes moved to the desk, and when he looked closely, he saw that a fiery red shadow was sitting there quietly, and when he looked closely, he found that the old flame-loving beast was reading in front of an open book, motionless and earnest.

Xiao Cong walked in slowly, walked to the desk and called softly:

"Seniors. ”

The voice was like a whisper, as if it was afraid of destroying the elegance of the old flame-loving beast and the beautiful artistic conception of this tranquil.

The old flame-loving beast stretched out a claw, flicked it slightly, closed the book, and then slowly turned around, glanced at Xiao Cong, and said expressionlessly:

"It's not the right time for you, it's too early. ”

Xiao Cong thought for a moment, and suddenly realized that the Flame-Loving Beast Clan was not a powerful race in the entire Xuanzhen Realm, and it was extremely weak but very rare to recruit monks, if there was only one Flame-Loving Beast swaggering through the streets of this holy city at this time, which was still like a bustling Luojing, it would have to cause a commotion or even a riot.

Xiao Cong casually found a chair and sat down next to the desk, the old flame-loving beast jumped off the desk and jumped up to the window, he condescendingly looked at the bustling market under the window, looked at the three religions and nine streams coming and going in the bustling market, and suddenly let out a long sigh, Xiao Cong watched quietly, he felt that the back of the old flame-loving beast was so sad and lonely at this time, and the fiery red of the whole body was just like a bitter and strong irony.

After a while, the old flame-loving beast gently asked:

"Fourth Young Master Xiao, I heard that you are a teacher of Tiandao Weng and a person who came out of Tiandao Xuan?"

Xiao Cong nodded lightly "um", the voices of the two of them were very soft, as if they were tacit, they were afraid of losing the peaceful enjoyment that their hearts were full of at this time, the study room was a space of its own, and all the hustle and bustle were isolated.

"He's an old man who can do everything from heaven to sea!" the old flame-loving beast sighed, his gaze moving upward, seemingly full of infinite longing and yearning.

"No, senior, you're wrong, dragons can't be compared to my master. ”

Xiao Cong replied calmly, but there was a pride that could not be concealed, this voice came from his heart, and even made his voice slightly raised.

"You mean that. The old flame-loving beast said quietly, "That thing is not what you think, and it is not what the world says, you are all wrong. ”

"The seniors are talking about ......"

"That piece of jade hanging from your waist......"

The old flame beast wanted to speak and stopped, and the long tail echoed in Xiao Cong's ears, and it was only now that Xiao Cong suddenly realized that this person knew a lot about his master, and it was likely that he was intertwined with his master in cause and effect.

He asked tentatively:

"Senior...... What the hell are you trying to tell me?"

"Nothing, just talk. The old flame-loving beast said calmly, this seemingly innocuous sentence made Xiao Cong feel as if there were thousands of grass and mud horses galloping in his heart.

"Pretty naughty, old fellow!" he said to himself.

"It seems that your master didn't tell you these things, since he didn't say anything, then there is no need for me to mention it, when you should know, you will know, this is your cause and effect, and it is also your choice. ”

This sounds a little mysterious, and some fucked up words confuse Xiao Cong, but there are two words he heard and understood, because the master often mentioned these two words to him back then-cause and effect.

"Senior, do you also believe in cause and effect?"

Xiao Cong asked steadily, whenever the word cause and effect was mentioned, he would have a trace of foreboding from nowhere, although this premonition was quite unsuccessful, but it always lingered in Xiao Cong's heart.

"If you don't believe it, how can I believe that you are a disciple of Tiandao Weng! This is the core of Tiandao Weng's lifelong thoughts, if he doesn't even believe in his own disciples, then it will really become a big joke in the Xuanzhen Realm. ”

The old flame-loving beast said, looking up and laughing a few times, in Xiao Cong's opinion, this laughter actually sounded a little sad.

"The younger generation always believes in the theory of cause and effect, and never dares to go against my teacher's belief, but the seniors also believe in it, which makes the younger generation extremely surprised. ”

"What's so surprising! In the first war, your master was famous all over the world, and there were tens of thousands of followers of him, and I was just one of them. ”

"It's just slaughtering a dragon, how can it be so exaggerated. Xiao Cong pursed his lips, he thought that the old flame-loving beast's words were really a bit exaggerated.

"Slay the dragon?" the old flame-loving beast chuckled,

"Where is the dragon, it's just a Jiao, the dragon clan has always been rare and mysterious, almost invisible after the immortal Gu, the current dragon clan is just a side line that those guys in the god capital used to fill the number, it can't be regarded as a dragon. ”

"What do you mean?"

"God-killing war!"
