Xuanyuan Lie returned to the Valley of Death and bolted up the alien beast, and the sky was getting dark.

The houses on either side of the Valley of Death were shrouded in twilight, and Xuanyuan Lie quietly walked towards his compound.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I saw a person standing by the small flower pond in the courtyard, looking at the chrysanthemums that had just bloomed.

This person was wearing a gray robe, with clear eyebrows and a long and healthy body, looking like a well-mannered scholar, but there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

He heard Xuanyuan Lie's footsteps, turned his head, and immediately smiled on his face, and bowed: "My subordinates meet the second master." ”

Xuanyuan Lie said weakly: "Ji Ming, why do you have the leisure to come to me to enjoy the flowers, is there nothing to do in the valley?"

Xuanyuan Lie didn't have a great impression of Ji Ming when he first came to the Death Valley, and he always felt that this person didn't have any real materials, and he relied on his mouth skills, but all the affairs in the valley Ji Ming seemed to be doing a good job every time, making him the second sect leader a lot easier, otherwise he was afraid that it would be him instead of Ji Ming who would turn like a spinning top.

Ji Ming's smile didn't change, but he asked, "Second master, has the Moon Swinging Bow been recovered?"

Xuanyuan Lie couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "You're quite well-informed! How did you know?"

He thought it was strange, Ji Ming had always been only in charge of the housekeeping of the valley, and he only walked in the valley and on the top of the mountain, how could he even know what happened in Zhaoyao Town in the afternoon.

Xuanyuan Lie forgot that the affairs of the five sect pavilions of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth were originally his own duties, but he was not good at managing the affairs of these sect pavilions, and later simply pushed them to Ji Ming, and he went to practice martial arts all day long.

And the defense and security work of Zhaoyao Town is the responsibility of several military battalions belonging to the General Altar, and the person who now manages these military camps instead of Xuanyuan Lie is Ji Ming.

Ji Ming smiled: "Second master, I know what happened in the Zhaocai Gambling House today." His face was straight, and he said: "Second master, you are too careless this time, this moon bow can be said to be the magic weapon of our Sanyang Sect, you can't lose this bow if you lose!"

Xuanyuan Lie hurriedly said: "What can I do, I don't want to lose, but that kid is too lucky...... This, won't the last one win for him!" Speaking of this, he was also angry, "It's just that I forgot to ask his address and name, otherwise I can come back immediately and get the silver coins in the library to exchange the bow back!"

Ji Ming said: "Second master, this person is clearly to gamble with you for the Moon Bow, how can he tell you your name and address." He didn't say anything, but in his heart he thought that these two sect masters were too brainless, and they still didn't know that the real purpose of the man in white was to swing the moon bow.

Xuanyuan Lie actually figured it out at the top of the mountain just now, the man in white really wanted to be entangled with him to the end at that time, and he kept betting small, and each time he bet more silver coins than the previous few days combined, so that it is impossible to open big in a row, and there is always a time to win, as long as the man in white wins once, Xuanyuan Lie will definitely not have enough money to lose, and in the end he can only bet on the moon bow.

He said helplessly: "Then what can I do now? I don't know who he is, otherwise I will go to him immediately!"

Ji Ming's expression also seemed to be a little heavy: "I guess this man in white is either from Taikun Sect or from the Six Broken Palace." As soon as I received the news, I sent someone to secretly pursue him. ”

"Huh?" Xuanyuan Lie was happy and said, "That's good!

Ji Ming smiled bitterly: "How can it be so fast? Although the nearby towns are our jurisdiction, since he dares to come to Zhaoyao Town and gamble with you, he must have come prepared, and he must not be an ordinary person." Whether our people can trace his whereabouts is still unknown. ”

When Xuanyuan Lie heard this, he recalled that the man in white was indeed extraordinary at that time, and nodded and said: "That kid's momentum can really scare people, and it really doesn't look like an ordinary person." What do you mean that he came prepared?" He saw that Ji Ming seemed to be standing here for a long time, and said, "Let's go! Let's go into the house!"

The place where Xuanyuan Lie lives is a large courtyard, this courtyard is second only to Yan Wuping in the Death Valley, the yard is very large, Ji Ming also specially asked people to renovate it at that time, paved the courtyard with bluestone bricks, and arranged flower ponds and pools.

There are houses on three sides of the courtyard, the left and right are for the maids who take care of Xuanyuan Lie's living and eating, and the big house in the middle is two floors, the upper floor is Xuanyuan Lie's bedroom, and the lower floor is the hall where guests usually meet.

The two entered the hall and sat down, and Ji Ming said: "This man in white, if it is a person from Taikun Gate, then I am afraid that Taikun Gate has already installed people in our swagger town." ”

He added: "I asked them to ask the people in the gambling house, the man in white has never appeared in the Zhaocai gambling house before, but as soon as you arrived at the gambling house today, he came, which means that they also have eyeliner in Zhaoyao Town, and there must be more than three or two." ”

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Lie said confusedly, "so what?"

Ji Ming said again: "This shows that their plan has been planned for a long time, and the plan can only be implemented when you go down the mountain to gamble for money." Maybe they've been waiting for half a month. ”

Xuanyuan Lie suddenly realized: "I really haven't come down the mountain for half a month, no wonder I always feel a little evil today!"

He thought about the situation again: "Yes! It must be so! No wonder I always win, they deliberately let me win!"

Ji Ming nodded and said, "They know your temper in the second master, let you win enough first, and the last one will be unguardable." ”

"Then if it's someone from the Taikun Sect, then what will happen to them next?" Xuanyuan Lie couldn't help but ask. In fact, he didn't need to ask to know that if Taikun Sect had already obtained the Swinging Moon Bow, then he would have much less fear of the Sanyang Sect, and he might immediately launch a large-scale attack on Zhaoyao Mountain and Death Valley.

Ji Ming said: "I'm also worried about this problem, I just hope that the man in white is better from the Six Broken Palace, so that at least we still have time." In case he is from Taikun Sect, there will be a big trouble. ”

He paused for a while, as if thinking about something, before he said: "Whether this man in white is from Taikun Gate or Liuduan Palace, he is definitely not a nobody, Liuduan Palace has always been mysterious, and he doesn't know the roots." But if it is Taikun Sect, I am afraid that this man in white is likely to be Tian Mai. ”

"Tian Mai?" Xuanyuan Lie frowned, he wasn't very familiar with these people.

"Hmm! Tian Mai is the banner master of the Taikun Gate Star Banner. Ji Ming nodded, and he explained: "Xingqi is in Taikun Gate to be responsible for espionage cases, pursuit and assassination. The news of the appearance of the Moon Bow in the Valley of Death has long spread all over the world, and if Taikun Sect wants to send someone to Zhaoyao Town, it must be the star flag first. ”

He added: "If the people of the Star Banner come to Zhaoyao Town, then Tian Mai will definitely come in person, the six major artifacts are extremely important things for the Taikun Sect, and the door master Gu Jueyun will definitely ask Tian Mai to come in person." ”

Xuanyuan Lie smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, maybe he is a person from the Six Broken Palace?" He hadn't heard of Tian Mai, and when he heard Ji Ming say it so mysteriously, it seemed that the Sanyang Sect was about to be in a catastrophe, and he didn't believe it in his heart.

Ji Ming replied: "Some time ago, when Guo Lao Er, who taught the Water Pavilion in Qingqiu Town, came back with the news, he said that the intelligence point of the Liuxuan Palace in Qingqiu Town was pulled out by Taikun Gate, and many people were lost. The Sect Master was there at the time. ”

"Is there any news about my eldest brother?" Xuanyuan Lie asked anxiously, he ignored the teaching affairs for many days, and many of the news was not as clear as Ji Ming.

"The sect leader only let Guo Lao Er bring a message, saying that he was going to do something outside, and he didn't know when he would come back. Ji Ming replied, "It is also said that the people of the Six Broken Palaces have also paid attention to our Sanyang Sect, and they also want to send someone to Zhaoyao Town to investigate the news of the Swinging Moon Bow." ”

He continued, "So, if the man in white is from the Six Broken Palaces, I can't guess who he is. Because of the situation of the Six Broken Palaces, we don't know anything about it. ”

Xuanyuan Lie asked, "Then the person you sent to find him, is there any news back?"

Ji Ming shook his head: "How can it be so fast, I have already informed the Sect Fire Pavilion, they happened to lead people to patrol the official road near Zhaoyao Town today." If you find the man in white, you must report it immediately and follow it secretly. ”

At this time, the maid had already brought the meal and waited for Xuanyuan Lie to eat.

Xuanyuan Lie tossed for half a day, and he also felt hungry.

He waved his hand at Ji Ming: "Okay, you go back first, if you find out the news of the man in white and report it to me as soon as possible, I will go and kill him immediately!"

Ji Ming got up and said, "Yes!" and was about to retreat, but he suddenly remembered something: "Second master, I have recently arranged a few new maids for you, so it's okay to summon you, right?"

Xuanyuan Lie nodded again and again: "It's okay, it's much more diligent than the previous ones!"

Ji Ming smiled: "This is very good, I'm worried that the second master is not used to it, some of them are newcomers, and I am afraid that they will not serve carefully enough." With that, he retired.

Xuanyuan Lie ordered the maids to pour wine and serve food, and asked them to retreat and sit alone in the hall to drink and eat.

After eating two large bowls of rice and drinking five or six glasses of wine, Xuanyuan Lie always felt that someone behind him was pulling his waist, just like the force that pulled him to the left side in the cave where he was chasing the Alien Beast that day, but when he looked back, the candles in the hall were flickering, but there was no one in sight, and he couldn't help but wonder a little, raised his glass and drank it all again, thinking that he was drunk?
