That night, Xiao Cong and his entourage were placed in a house near the Xianmu Mansion by Ying Pei.

At the beginning of the unitary hour, Ying Pei personally led people to carry several huge food boxes to bring dinner, placed them in the open space in the middle of the circle of felt, and apologized:

"The suddenness of the honorable came up, and it was really too late to prepare, because my clan has always sat on the ground to eat, so I am afraid that tonight I will have to grieve you to follow the customs. ”

Xiao Cong grinned and waved his hand and smiled:

"Where, when we were in the wild before, didn't we eat like this, and we didn't pay so much attention to it. ”

Yingpei also laughed,

"With this sentence, I will go back to the errand. ”

And he said, and bowed down, saying:

"Eat and drink well, and take your leave. ”

When he finished speaking, he turned around.

Xiao Cong hurriedly called:

"Hey, wait a minute. ”

Ying Pei turned around and raised his eyebrows slightly,

"Do you have any other commands?"

Xiao Cong touched his nose,

"It's not a command, but I have a question for you. ”

Ying Pei's face was calm,

"Your Excellency, please speak. ”

Xiao Cong put down his hand,

"I want to ask, do you already know my true identity, and the reason why you don't tell it is just because your Virtuous Shepherd has instructed you in advance?"

Ying Pei pursed his lips and smiled,

"If you go back to your honor, the reason why I went there is because my family Master Xianmu was afraid that you would not find here, so he sent me to meet you, as for your true identity, Lord Xianmu really didn't say it explicitly when he gave me the order at that time, he just said that I should go to that place and wait for a group of people. ”

Xiao Cong thought about it, and before he could speak, he heard Ying Pei continue:

"However, I did know in advance that you were a member of the Xiao family. ”

"When?"

"When you tell me your surname, hehe, Xiao Cong, Xiao Chong, but anyone who has a little brain, when he hears these two names and so many masters, he will inevitably think deeper, what do you say?"

Xiao Cong's mouth pursed and nodded thoughtfully,

"That's right, this time, it was really me who was careless. ”

Ying Pei chuckled a few times,

"If there is nothing else to do, then he will take his leave. ”

Xiao Cong woke up from his state and said enthusiastically:

"It's all friends when you know each other, what else to go, just stay and deal with a few mouthfuls. ”

The corners of Yingpei's mouth hooked politely,

"The good intentions of the honorable are received in my heart, but this is really not in line with the rules of the clan, you are a distinguished guest, and in my capacity, I can't sit down with you to eat. ”

Xiao Cong nodded as if he didn't understand, and pulled out a sentence in embarrassment,

"That'...... Slow down on your way. ”

Yingpei laughed out loud, didn't answer, and turned away.

I think I saw that Xiao Cong's group should have a lot of food, so the three coffin-like food boxes brought here were full of delicacies, including suckling pig, roast sheep, sauced beef, etc., vegetarian raw radish with the length of an adult's arm, baked potatoes the size of a dustpan, and a large plate of cold salad and exquisite assorted dishes, and the combination of meat and vegetables is also reasonable.

The group of people who haven't eaten a normal meal for a long time are not poor and particular now, Xingliuyun and the others asked Xiao Cong for a few jars of good wine as usual, and used a big bowl to ride, no longer pushing the cup to change the lamp, just like this, everyone drank and ate in a big gulp, no one spoke, and the room was full of the sound of eating like pigs.

After a ventilation of the clouds, some people patted their belly and breathed a sigh of relief, some people wiped their mouths, looking unfinished, and some people used fish bones instead of toothpicks to pick their teeth there, and even more people directly lay back there regardless of their health, which can be described as full of ugliness and clumsiness.

At three o'clock, the waiters who had accompanied Ying Pei to deliver the meal returned here to clean up the leftovers of pots and pans, and returned the clean and tidy temporary living environment on everyone's side, Xingliuyun was still picking his teeth with fish bones, and said vaguely:

"There's something I've always wanted to ask you, you said, let's finally come to the Guzhou Plain, really don't you go to the core area to see those legendary existences?"

Xiao Cong didn't hear clearly, and asked:

"What do you say?"

Xingliuyun put down his hand, scraped the molars on the right side of his palate with his tongue, turned his head and spat into the spittoon, and then replied with a fluttering eyebrow:

"I said, let's take a trip to the Guzhou Plain, shouldn't we go to the deepest part of the country like we did in the near sun desert, maybe there will be some unexpected gains. ”

Everyone here, except for Gayin, could hear the meaning of Xingliuyun's words - he thought that there were also ruins related to the "Xuanzhen Secret Words" like the temple in the depths of the Guzhou Plain, and that kind of place was undoubtedly advantageous for them, and the opportunity hidden in it must not be small!

For Xingliuyun's prompt, the three of them, Yin Nuo, the brothers of the Hades Wu clan, remained silent, and like Ouyang Xun Hongxiang, the two of them, their eyes turned twice, and they also made a look of not knowing, only the ghost girl wanted to speak and stopped, but her brain was only a little slower than the others, and she swallowed the words that were about to blurt out in time.

For the strangeness of these people, Jiayin naturally saw it clearly, but the near sun desert was thousands of miles away, and she had never gone out, so naturally she couldn't guess what was going on here, so she was silent, just as if she hadn't seen anything.

Xiao Cong lowered his head, but before he could do it, he raised his head and said seriously:

"This time, I think it's okay, the ancestors of Yingmu Xuan said that the depths of the Guzhou Plain are dangerous and abnormal, I think what I said is true, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and when the strength is enough, it's not too late to see it again." ”

Xingliuyun was also interesting, and smiled and didn't speak again.

Ouyang Xun suddenly sighed faintly, and said sadly:

"I've been here for so long, and I don't know which one of the world's plays I've sung. ”

Xingliuyun seemed to be infected by Ouyang Xun, and he also let out a sigh abruptly,

"Alas, you can sing as much as you like, anyway, now that the Xing family is gone, Lao Tzu doesn't matter, let's fight, beat him up, it's already good to be able to protect himself, who can take care of whom. ”

Ouyang Xun smiled in his nose,

"Heh, Xingliuyun, this doesn't look like the words that came out of the mouth of your dog-headed young marshal. ”

Xingliuyun turned his head and gave Ouyang Xun a roll of his eyes, and sneered:

"What's the matter, you Ouyang Xun is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect yourself, and you really remember that the world is not successful?"

Ouyang Xun stretched his waist and put his two arms behind his head, showing an idle attitude,

"You're right, we're all mud bodhisattvas now, but that doesn't mean that things outside have nothing to do with us, young people, we must take a long-term view, and knowing ourselves and knowing the other side will not be defeated, after all, we still have to go back to the outside world after all. ”

The nebula shook his head weakly,

"Go out, or go back to the camp of the Xuanzhen Royal and work for them?"

Ouyang Xun's tone was calm,

"No, we will only work for ourselves in the future. ”

The head of the nebula is getting lower and lower, and the sound is getting quieter and quieter,

"But who is our enemy, and what are we going to live for in this life? I'm a little confused......

The girl bit her lip, looking at her brother with a heavier worry in her eyes.

Ouyang Xun raised his head and laughed,

"There are no enemies, we don't live to protect the people and things we cherish, life is actually very simple, but it is too complicated for you to think. ”

Nebula shook his head, 56

The answer is not clear enough. ”

Ouyang Xun: "How to say it is clear." ”

Xingliuyun choked for a while, and only replied after a while:

"I believe that in the future, you and I will become more powerful people than our parents, but they have more than just family and friends in their hearts, are they wrong?

Ouyang Xun smiled helplessly, slowly lowered his hand, scratched his forehead again, and after a little consideration, said:

"Xingliuyun, I admit that you are a person of noble character in the eyes of your heart, your pattern has always been very large, and your vision is long enough, but you ignore one point, the depth of thinking is also an indispensable part of a person's smooth growth, these three things add up, is your world. ”

After a pause, he continued:

"Maybe you don't understand what I'm saying, let me tell you this, eat a bite of food, walk step by step, have you ever thought that your current pattern is actually something that doesn't match your other aspects, to put it mildly, this is called worrying about the sky, having noble virtues, daring to dedicate yourself, this is not a wrong thing, but more importantly, it is necessary to weigh how many catties and taels you have, the business of a gentleman, self-cultivation, family, governance, Ordinary world, is also like this step by step, you can't even protect the most precious people around you, talk about what to save Li Min, go deeper, step by step forward process, must be accompanied by a process of change, the reason why you are now feeling confused for the world, it means that you don't really have the world in mind, because you don't know the true meaning of this at all, what you do is just an imitation of the sages, but I admit that none of us can compare to you in this regard, then again, when you understand the true meaning of the world in this process, you will no longer feel confused, so nowIt is a process of seeking, don't always think about those unrealistic things, thinking too much is a kind of redundancy, life will always give you inspiration and insight, and what you have to do is to study seriously. ”

"Finally, Xingliuyun, you must know that you are not the only one in this world who has a conscience, so don't always carry those things that should not be borne by you on yourself, you must know that since you are the role of protecting others, and at the same time the role of being cherished and protected by others, your life is not only your own!"

After listening to this, Xiao Cong looked at Ouyang Xun holding the big bowl in front of him, raised his head and drank the tea in it, and then scolded and scolded, "Damn, I feel a little thirsty after talking about such a big deal!"

He thought to himself,

"Yes, Ouyang Xun is right, life will always teach us some things that we can't learn from books, those feelings, those inspirations, although they are the troubles brought about by growth, but at the same time, they are also the gift of youth, maybe each of us is confused, but as long as we have a humble attitude to experience and feel and break through, all this will eventually clear the clouds and see the moon, this is it, whether it is a person or an immortal, after facing the unknown, isn't it all like this?"

Ouyang Xun put down the big bowl and said seriously:

"Now let's get down to business, I think, now we really need to plan and plan, and it's time to implement a policy when we return to the outside world. ”

Xingliuyun raised his eyebrows, and said arrogantly:

"Policy, what policy! Whoever is looking for something to do will not be able to do it. ”

Ouyang Xun shook his head inscrutablely,

"Your policy is wrong, and if you are not careful, you will push us into the abyss. ”

Xiao Cong nodded approvingly, and said worriedly:

"Even if things go well, when we get out, it will be almost three and a half years later, the current catastrophe, the various forces have annexed each other and united, and it is estimated that it will be finalized by then, such a situation, to be honest, will not do us much. ”

Xingliuyun's eyes slowly sharpened,

"Once the distribution of forces is clear, it is not easy to fish in troubled waters. ”

Ouyang Xun echoed:

"And if you want to achieve great things, surviving in the cracks is not a long-term solution after all.

Hongxiang bit his lip and thought for a moment, then said:

"Since in this situation, we people can neither be completely independent, nor are we willing to succumb to other forces, then we can only seek unity, this Xuanzhen Realm, is there really no force that doesn't care about the identity of my brother Xiao's family? ”

"Yes, but judging from the current situation, there is only Xuanzhen Royal. ”

Xingliuyun didn't speak, just glanced at Hongxiang somehow.

"Is there anything wrong with the Xuanzhen Royal Alliance?" Hongxiang asked, turning his gaze to Xiao Cong.

Xiao Cong didn't know how to answer this question, because after experiencing such things, he didn't think about uniting any forces, in his opinion, striking iron still needs its own hardness, and the ability is enough, there is no need to engage in unity.

The Nebula prevaricated:

"The Xuanzhen Royal Tree is too big, and it is easier to attract wind, which does not match our situation. ”

Hongxiang thought about it again, and his eyes flashed,

"Baihua Valley will definitely not behave against us because of my brother's identity, how about we go to Baihua Valley, it just happens that Sister Leng is on the line, this matter should not be difficult. ”

The nebula seems to have heard a big joke,

"It shouldn't be difficult to think about?

Ouyang Xun, who had frowned and thought for some time, finally spoke again,

"If we had enough people to trust in the various forces to disguise themselves and monitor their movements at all times, we would be able to do it alone, don't you think?"

Xingliuyun scrubbed his chin with his right hand, and thought about it,

"Although the idea is good, but the implementation is a little too difficult, I have been doing intelligence reconnaissance for so many years, and I know the difficulty of intelligence transmission, I am afraid that even if the secret pile can find out the news, it will not be able to send it to us in time, besides, where to find these people who trust enough." ”

Everyone fell into deep thought, and it can be seen that what Xingliuyun said is quite reasonable.

Xiao Cong thought for a while, and had a general solution to the problem raised by Xingliuyun in his heart, but there were too many involved, and it was inconvenient to disclose it now, but in his opinion, it was feasible, so he turned over this article and reopened another topic:

"It's rare to have such an in-depth conversation, since this problem is difficult to solve for the time being, let's leave him aside first, let's talk about the future trend of the major forces?"

Xingliuyun glanced at Xiao Cong intentionally or unintentionally, sank for a moment, and smiled,

"Then you can give it a start. ”

Xiao Cong's flat mouth,

"I think it's more appropriate for Ah Xun to take the lead in this issue, after all, he knows this aspect better than us. ”

Ouyang Xun grinned bitterly,

"Hey, I said Xiao Cong, don't scold me, take a trip with you, I know what it means to be outside the world, if you add these extraterritorial forces such as the White Lotus Village and the Win Clan, where will I know." ”

Xiao Cong smiled and shook his head,

"These foreign forces have never asked about the world, and it is estimated that it is a bit unrealistic to want them to stand in line, so it is not in our consideration for the time being, you can just pick up what you know, and the forces below the three major pavilions can be said. ”

Ouyang Xun couldn't refuse, and spent half a cup of tea organizing the language, and then said:

"If this matter starts with the collapse of the Holy Mountain, in the past five years, five of the Ten Ancient Families have been destroyed, plus the previous Nangong Family, it is considered six, just a decisive battle of the Holy Mountain, there are four less in the Nine Mansions, the Slaughtering Mansion, the Jade Snake Mansion, the Worship Mansion, the Night Mansion, and the Luoxian Mansion were destroyed not long ago, and the remaining ones are Yuyu Mansion, Qianxun Mansion, Aotian Mansion and Turtle Mansion, Four Palaces, Five Towers, Seven Sects and Eight Courtyards have not moved so far, and except for the Xiao family, there are some forces that are not enough to be annihilated in this time and space, so from this point of view, this catastrophe has not yet developed to a certain scale, even if there is a lonely family and the Huangfu family competing on the surface, but in the final analysis, it is a feud, the Dugu family is fishing in troubled waters, and it is not part of this matter if they want to take the lead before the catastrophe comes.

As for the remaining forces, the Xiaoyao Palace and the Ethereal Palace in the Four Palaces, and the Ximu Sect in the Seven Sects are all super forces, with that arrogance, I am afraid that they will not stand in line and unite unless they have to, but it is not excluded that there are some cats that we can't see, maybe they have secretly reached some kind of contract.

Since the news is not enough, let's leave them aside first, and the remaining first-class forces, such as the Five Towers, the Turtle Mansion, the Bliss Palace, the Qianyuan Palace, the Three Venerable Sects, Gu Yuanjiao, the preservation is relatively complete, first from my most sure of it, the Turtle Mansion must be Mingzhe to protect himself and not stand anywhere, don't ask why, listen to me absolutely right, before Zhao Sanping of the Fire Saint Tower said that he was willing to persuade the other four tower masters to submit for Xiao Cong, I think this matter is a play, because if you want to break the seal of the spiritual object they use to combine, you must have a divine weapon, and it is not an ordinary divine weapon, this can be seen from the Fire Saint Tower's use of the price of two Star Picking Realm bull-nosed veterans to trick the Dugu family, and now......”

Ouyang Xun knew that he was almost speechless, so he quickly cleared his throat, covered up the past, and continued:

"And the Zhuxian Sword in Xiao Cong's hand can definitely have the same effect, besides, Xiao Cong is a formation master, and he can help them unexpectedly, so there is no reason for them not to make this sure deal, but there is no need to have any hope for this matter for the time being. ”

The ghost girl could hear it, and at this time, she heard Ouyang Xun say such an exciting thing and had no hope for the time being, and couldn't help asking:

"Why?"

Ouyang Xun didn't have time to pick up the bowl and drink water, so he replied with a grin:

"This is called the gentleman's innocence and guilt, you think, if the five towers are really under the command of Xiao Cong, and Xiao Cong helps to give birth to five half-immortal-level powers, then we will definitely become the target of the various forces of Xuanzhen, and it is good to be shot into a sieve, so the five towers can only be regarded as a hidden card, and when our forces are strong enough, we can hold the diamond diamond and take the porcelain work, so that it can be revealed. ”

The phantom nodded thoughtfully,

"Oh, I see. ”

Ouyang Xun drank a bowl of tea stupidly and continued the analysis just now,

"The rest of the Bliss Palace, Qianyuan Palace, Sanzun Sect, and Gu Yuan Sect are all behemoths that have stepped into the super power with one foot, and their direction is really difficult to judge, but judging from what happened in the past, it is very likely that the Bliss Palace and the Gu Yuan Sect will not sit back and enjoy their success, followed by the Eight Courtyards of the second-rate forces, the Heaven Destroying Sect, the Tongyou Sect, The White Horse Sect and the Eastern Sun Sect, these forces may have a clear position, the Eighth Academy, needless to say, has been under the command of the Xuanzhen Royal, there is news that the White Horse Sect has also taken refuge in the Xuanzhen Royal, but the news is not very reliable, the Heaven Destroying Sect and the Luoxian Mansion that has been destroyed by us are the minions of the Dugu family, but I faintly feel that the Tongyou Sect may also be behind the Dugu family's ass, as for the Dongri Sect...... It's hard to speculate, but it will be related to the Ximu Sect.

Finally, the remaining Yuyu Mansion, Qianxun Mansion and Aotian Mansion in the Nine Mansions, although it is said that Yuyu Mansion has declared that it is subordinate to the Xuanzhen Royal, but I estimate it, this is purely forced to do so, they know very well in their hearts that the Xuanzhen Royal Zhao'an They are just to serve as a façade, and they don't care too much about them in their hearts, and Aotian Mansion and Qianxun Mansion have not yet made it clear, but there is a lesson from the Luoxian Mansion, they will definitely not take refuge in the Lonely Family, so we can fight for these three forces. ”

Xingliuyun smiled and said playfully:

"Heh, digging the corner of the Xuanzhen royal wall, Ouyang Xun, what do you think!"

Ouyang Xunling said:

"Did I say that I wanted to dig up the corner of the Xuanzhen Royal? I said to fight! Fight, do you understand! As long as we take down the Qianxun Mansion and the Aotian Mansion, and give more benefits to everyone equally, then the Yuyu Mansion will naturally take refuge in the eyes of the Xiao family, and because of the relationship between the Xiao family, the Xuanzhen Royal will definitely not be able to say anything. ”

Xingliuyun gave a thumbs up and said in admiration:

"Okay, Ouyang Xun, you are yin enough, but I like it, hehehe. ”
