Crowded with people, noisy and noisy, North Street is still as lively as in memory.

Xiao Cong and Hongxiang followed Yin Nuo and went straight to Ding Bushan's treasure village after entering North Street.

In the past few days, Xiao Cong asked Hongxiang to recite the mysterious scriptures to Yin Nuo and him every morning, noon and evening, and asked Yin Nuo to feel it carefully, so as to verify his idea, he felt that the mysterious scripture should have a special power, which can give the listener protection and protect it from mental harm, of course, in the end, his idea was not verified, because this matter could not be verified at all, if there is really any way to verify his idea, it is to test the law, with the blessing of the scriptures to the depths of the Valley of Forgotten Life to feel it, and see what the actual effect is, and by the way, take a look at how the depths of the Valley of Forgotten Life are not as evil as Yin Nuo said.

Ding Bushan still met Xiao Cong and his party in the side hall last time, the four of them sat around the table, the atmosphere was like a gradually warming heat, it was slowly thickening, Ding Bushan said a word, Xiao Cong said a word, Yin Nuo and Hongxiang were sitting in silence, Ding Bushan smiled and Xiao Cong was still expressionless, this looks extremely contradictory, or Ding Bushan's self-inflicted sentimentality makes people feel a little unbearable, Xiao Cong's soft and hard does not eat makes people feel a little angry- Everyone is an old man, and here you force a smile and stick your hot face against your cold ass, even for the sake of that insignificant respect for the teacher, you should always have something to say.

At the beginning, Ding Bushan did not introduce the topic to the matter of sending them to the hunting city, although it was slightly touched, but it was only a painless side knock, Ding Bushan's words did not run to the topic, Xiao Cong did not say anything, let him say that he would be cold and warm, he was not moved, put aside once he had already left the felt and wanted to brush his sleeves away, this time to be able to listen to Ding Bushan here for so long, it can be regarded as giving him some face.

Finally, Ding Bushan brought the topic to the matter of going to Hunting City, the atmosphere seemed to rise to a certain temperature, and the layer of hidden ice covering Xiao Cong's body melted, changing his sitting posture and changing his expression.

"I don't know what your Excellency thinks about letting the old man send you into the hunting city. Ding Bushan asked cautiously.

Xiao Cong smiled coldly,

"What decision do I make, with the insight and scheming of the shopkeeper Ding, can't I guess?"

Ding Bushan smirked a few times,

"It seems that Your Excellency is willing to let the old man send you to the hunting city. ”

Xiao Cong didn't answer, and said playfully:

"There is no free lunch in the world, entering the hunting city is what I want, but when I come to you, I put the cart before the horse, as if you begged me, you are so low, I really feel panicked. ”

Ding Bushan smiled,

"Your Excellency actually doesn't know that entering the Hunting City requires certain conditions, without this condition, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death in the Hunting City, even if I don't come to your lobby, there will be other people like me to lobby Your Excellency, I can be the first to be considered a fluke, but Your Excellency's encounter is inevitable, because you want to enter the Hunting City. ”

Xiao Cong smiled disdainfully,

"According to what you say, I have added a little more interest, dare to ask the shopkeeper Ding, what are the conditions?"

Ding Bushan picked up the cup and took a sip lightly, straightened his body slightly, and then said slowly:

"A man cannot stand without faith. ”

Xiao Cong thought for a moment, slowly understood, and then teased:

"Why, I have to stand in line in Hunting City, what if I don't stand in line?"

"Shhhh

Ding Bushan put his withered right index finger against his lips, made a silent posture, his eyes were like knives, and his face was solemn and unmixed with any ambiguity:

"Your Excellency's words must not be said nonsense in the Valley of Forgotten Life, be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth and invites unwarranted disasters. ”

Xiao Cong snorted softly and said disdainfully:

"So it's a mystery, pretending to be a fucking big-tailed wolf. ”

Ding Bushan pursed his lips and laughed again,

"Your Excellency doesn't have to test me like this, what I said to you is true, and Your Excellency is better not to joke about such a life-threatening thing. ”

Xiao Cong looked at Ding Bushan, the corners of his mouth were full of irony, Ding Bushan looked at this Ling Ling smile, his eyes flickered, and he dodged slightly, as if he was avoiding something in a weak heart, for a long time, Xiao Cong's eyes did not leave on Ding Bushan's face, and he couldn't raise his head until the other party couldn't raise his head, finally, Ding Bushan glanced up at Xiao Cong, and said in a low voice with a smile on his face:

"Your Excellency, don't look at it again, I admit that I have offended a lot of words before, and I would like to compensate you here, Your Excellency has a lot, so don't worry about me as a short-sighted old man. ”

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and bent down to make a gesture at Xiao Cong.

Xiao Cong's lips finally lifted up, revealing a few white teeth, and the sharpness on his face almost disappeared, replaced by a warm and peaceful feeling.

The shopkeeper Ding went on to say that's it. ”

Ding Bushan swallowed his saliva, straightened his body quite unnaturally, and his tone was much more serious than before, and continued:

"The situation in the Hunting City, Yin Nuo must have told you something, but he has never entered the Hunting City, so what he said is inevitably biased......

"He hasn't been in the hunting city, could it be that you have been there?" Before Ding Bushan finished speaking, Xiao Cong intervened coldly.

Ding Bushan's complexion didn't change, he just smiled casually and said with a retrospective taste:

"I haven't been in it, but it's been a long time ago. ”

"Why did you come out again, isn't it better to open a treasure village on North Street in the hunting city?"

Ding Bushan lowered his head and smiled, and said weakly:

"Alas, I can't get along, so I came out, now I think about it, it's actually good to spend a while on North Street, fighting and killing all day long, it's really tiring to say, I think when I was as old as you, I was the same as you are now, and I don't know how high I want to go in, but the cultivation is not as high as you, so it is more difficult to walk, and the time to go in is a lot late, and the sins of suffering are countless, now I think about it, I don't know how I survived at that time, and then I really couldn't hold on, and I happened to accumulate some contacts and capital, so I returned to this North Street to open a treasure village, this open, is nearly two hundred years, alas, The world is unpredictable, but then I also saw it, people in this life, it's just like that, how to live it, some things, after all, it is essential, if you can't get by, you will be trapped, but people will be trapped after all, it's just the difference between time and evening, so to say, experienced, is the harvest, think so much, it's useless. ”

Ding Bushan said with emotion, like a person who has seen through the red dust, and the person who said a few words was lost, but Xiao Cong was unmoved, his face was still cold,

"I heard Yin Nuo say that there is a mysterious power in the Valley of Forgotten Life, and the impact of this power on the monks should be the highest in the Hunting City, in my understanding, the purpose of the existence of this force should be to restrain the monks, and if you rush back to North Street from the Hunting City like this, will it have no effect at all?"

Ding Bushan smiled, and glanced at Yin Nuo intentionally or unintentionally, the latter was sitting precariously, a pair of already cold eyes were shining with cold light at this time, and an eye for an eye, Ding Bushan didn't do the trick of the needle to Mai Mang, and after a glance with a smile, he took his gaze back, and continued to say to Xiao Cong:

"It seems that Yin Nuo knows a lot, and told Your Excellency everything you know, yes, he is quite loyal, but in the Valley of Forgotten Life, such a loyal dog is rare, Your Excellency is really good-looking, admire, admire. ”

Yin Nuo looked at Ding Bushan diagonally opposite for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, the cold was even worse, as if he was about to freeze, his hand slowly stroked the handle of the demon knife that was flat on his thigh, and when he was clenched just now, he was gently held down by Xiao Cong's hand, he turned his face to Xiao Cong, and saw that the latter slowly shook his head at him, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, and the hand holding the handle of the demon knife slowly relaxed.

Ding Bushan pursed his lips and smiled slightly when he saw this scene, calmly and calmly, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and said lightly:

"Your Excellency knows a lot, but you are only half right, that inexplicable power does exist, but it is not the strongest in the hunting city, because the hunting city is not the deepest place in the Valley of Forgotten Life, as for the deepest place, it may be just a legend, anyway, I have never entered it. ”

As he spoke, laughing at himself, he continued:

"But anyone who mixes in the Valley of Forgotten Life will be more or less disturbed by this force, but there has never been such a thing as turning the sea into water, where you live, how affected you are, not so evil and serious, as for the hunting city, it's really not as much as you want to enter and out, my departure is not so much a return, but a defection, as for the price I paid, if you want to hear it, then I will not hesitate to show a scandal, if you don't want to listen, hehe, that's just right, anyway, I don't want to say. ”

Xiao Cong chuckled a few times without emotion,

"It seems that I really want to uncover the scars of the shopkeeper Ding today. ”

Ding Bushan waved his hand nonchalantly,

"It's not as serious as Your Excellency said, the old things have been seen, and it doesn't hurt to look through the old accounts at this time, just with Your Excellency, maybe you don't have a taste, you should give Your Excellency a little more experience, I don't tell him about ordinary people!"

Xiao Cong was silent, but he heard Ding Bushan sigh wistfully, his eyes slanted upward, and he told a story from the past.

"Think about it more than two hundred years ago, speaking of which, I am still the beginning of this routine, I will not tell you the truth, my peak period is also the cultivation of the middle stage of the river crossing realm, which is higher than the current Yin Nuo, however, I am not as lucky as him, he has the demon knife in his hand, it is not surprising or unusual to be able to cultivate to the river crossing realm before the age of three hundred, as far as I know, the last few generations of the demon knife gate, there are many people who stepped into the Liyang realm with one foot before the age of three hundred, and my strength is little by little with my life, from North Street to Hunting City, I have walked for sixty years, sixty years, say it, do you believe it！”

Ding Bushan's voice was like a very sad howl, but there seemed to be a little bit of pride in it, his eyes were sad, and his face was even more old, through the shriveled chest, it seemed that he could see the trembling of his already somewhat shrunken heart, he slowly let out a breath, and did not wait for Xiao Cong, who was sitting opposite, to say, in a deeper tone,

"The year I entered the hunting city, I just stepped into the river crossing realm, I am not a master in the hunting city, but there is no problem with self-preservation, and before entering the hunting city, I already have the belonging of faith, so there is no danger at all, after all, as the old saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, I started to climb up from the bottom of the identity, ambitious, unscrupulous, dangerous, I can't remember how many times I crawled out of the pile of dead, at that time fate seemed to be particularly merciful to me, relying on this luck and the courage of ordinary people far from reaching, in just thirty years, my position in the hunting city has risen three steps, perhaps compared with them,I'm different.,But maybe it's because of this difference.,It's destined that I can't stay in the hunting city at all.,I struggled there for a full hundred years.,Finally, I'm still tired of life there.,At this time, fate began to stop taking pity on me.,Disasters followed.,In the end, I was stabbed in the back.,A junior who was more valued by me betrayed me.,But he was unlucky than me.,I was slaughtered.,But since I was trained out.,I'm jointly and severally responsible.,Although the sin is not to death.,But after all, I still have to make up for it.,I once again fought for my life and made a contribution.,I could have gone up to a higher level.,It's a pity I'm tired. , so he cut off the path of cultivation and returned to North Street. ”

Xiao Cong smiled slightly,

"What kind of credit can make the shopkeeper Ding Da go to a higher level on the premise of making up for it, I'm very curious, can you tell me about it, and let me make some preparations to make up for it." ”

Ding Bushan let out a long sigh and didn't look up,

"I helped the priest kill the sect leader and put him on the throne as everyone wanted. ”

"Then he should have killed you, right, how could he put you back on North Street one by one?" Xiao Cong's tone was full of sarcasm.

Ding Bushan replied in an equally sarcastic tone:

"I said it, it was to let him ascend to the throne as expected, all this is logical, not a conspiracy as you think, if he kills me, it is a thief's heart. ”

"Then he didn't abolish your cultivation in the end!"

Xiao Cong's tone changed from full of ridicule to aggressiveness, but Ding Bushan's attitude didn't seem to change at all, and he replied coldly:

"That's the rule, he's already very kind to me, what do you think I've been able to spend all these years on North Street safely?"

"But I don't believe that there will be true faith in the Valley of Forgotten Life!" Xiao Cong said in a firm tone.

Ding Bushan suddenly smiled, the coldness in his tone was even worse, and there was a little playfulness,

"Although Xinyi is valuable in the Valley of Forgotten Lives, it is not completely absent, why do you think that this kind of thing is valuable in the Valley of Forgotten Lives, it is because things are precious, you don't believe that there is real faith in the Valley of Forgotten Lives, so how can you still believe in Yin Nuo, as far as I know, he is a native of the Valley of Forgotten Lives, according to your thoughts, it should be bad to the roots, okay, I know that you have a way to enslave him, and it is very useful, but I can see that you believe in him, believe in him from the heart, for this, how can you justify itYoung people, it's better not to be too self-righteous, lest you get into the tip of the horns and not be able to get out, and in the long run, you will not end up with good results. ”

Ding Bushan was speechless with his words, this is really not contrived, he really has nothing to say at this time, not only because he thinks that what Ding Bushan said is also a little reasonable, but also because the old fox sees that he has no doubt about Yin Nuo, and he can only admit that he can refute Ding Bushan with a cheeky and strong force? In that case, wouldn't it seem that his qi is too narrow, and he will directly let the old fox look flat.

Therefore, this topic can no longer be carried out.

"What's going on there?" he said.

"As I said before, people must have faith in the hunting city, otherwise they will be infidels, and they will be attacked by a group of people, and if they are unlucky, they will inevitably die. ”

Ding Bushan didn't hold on to Xiao Cong's little flaws, his tone was still light, he gave Xiao Cong a step, after all, he was still in front of the other party's two servants.

"How many faiths?"

"A lot. ”

"What kind of beliefs do you have?"

"All sorts of things, you can't think of them. ”

"And how did you get to that group of believers before?"

Ding Bushan smiled slightly,

"Do you want to ask what kind of believers like you are more suitable to follow, rest assured, this matter is not up to you, what form do you enter, what kind of person you are, naturally there will be believers who are suitable for you to find you and pull you into them, I am different from you, I walked to the hunting city step by step, and before entering the hunting city, I was targeted. ”

"Then why are you sending me in?"

"What do you mean?"

"Since I can't help you with what kind of faith I believe, then I may not enter your previous camp after entering the Hunting City. ”

Ding Bushan picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said lightly:

"It's not a secret, if I'm right, you'll end up in the same camp with me, because we're the same kind of people, so we'll have the same beliefs. ”

Xiao Cong also smiled on his face,

"The shopkeeper Ding saw something, so I can't help but say that I want to hear it. ”

The smile on Ding Bushan's face slowly retracted, and he leaned forward slightly, his tone was as firm as his eyes,

"You are different from others, you are not hunted down by the enemy, most of the people who come to take refuge in the Valley of Forgotten Life, do not have this sharp and deep temperament on your body, move like a tiger and a rabbit and be as quiet as a jackal, and the best conditions can't cultivate a seedling like you, the forces behind you have spent a lot of effort in order to cultivate you, in fact, I am the same as you, I also came for that thing back then, but this road, but you can't turn back, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, or just like me, alas, like me is good. ”

As he spoke, he sighed to himself.

The smile on Xiao Cong's face also slowly rose, his complexion became very cloudy, his eyes shrank slightly, his small mouth was closed, and his whole face suddenly looked a little angular, in fact, this was not what he wanted to express, it was just his cover-up, because with the experience accumulated from years of wandering in anecdotes, he knew that what Ding Bushan said next was definitely earth-shattering news!

Regarding the sudden solemnity on Xiao Cong's face, Ding Bushan just glanced at it casually, smiled indifferently, and said disdainfully:

"But anyone who has achieved a little in cultivation, before becoming famous, has come to the Valley of Forgotten Death, in addition to the Valley of Forgotten Life, another place is called Qingcheng, they always pass the level of the Valley of Forgotten Life first, and then go to Qingcheng to experience, this is not a secret in the eyes of people like us, so you don't have to be so cold to me, not afraid to tell you, even if it is the North Street of the Valley of Forgotten Life, there are many people like us, most of them can't get out, and there are a few new people like you, but to be honest, I am not optimistic about them, I am only optimistic about you, I am like your teacher, I am willing to put the treasure on you, so don't let us down。 ”

"Sure enough, it's big news, and even I, the Xiao family who came out of Tiandaoxuan, don't even know it!"

Although the turbulent waves had been turned up in his heart, he still pretended to be an ancient well without waves on the surface, he looked at Ding Bushan for a moment, and asked:

"What treasure?"

Ding Bushan was stunned at first, and then shook his hand and laughed as if he suddenly realized,

"Your Excellency, don't get me wrong, what I said about the bet, it's just a hope, there has been no one who has gone out of the Valley of Forgotten Life for many years, I will send you into the hunting city, if you can go out, for a loser like me, what a great relief it must be, it can be regarded as a thought, to be able to personally participate in the rise of a generation of strong people, it can be regarded as a wish, so that you can live your life in peace in the future......"

The atmosphere that has just warmed up is like a lake that has been broken by stones, and it hasn't been rippling for long, and then it has fallen silent again, Ding Bushan no longer speaks, because there is nothing to say, his words have already been said here, it is useless to say more, but it may be counterproductive, Xiao Cong did not speak, because he was thinking hard about making a difficult choice, because until now he felt that he couldn't understand this seemingly sincere Ding Bushan, Ding Bushan Ding was not good, and his name was not good, how could he be so kind, and the more honest he was with Xiao Cong, the more suspicious Xiao Cong became, and the more indecisive he was, he had already made up his mind to pay attention, This time he came to Ding Bushan here just to go through the motions politely, who knew that this seemingly erroneous gossip made him hesitate again.

The matter is big, you must not act arbitrarily, Ding Bushan said this, if he leaves, Xiao Cong can't guess his purpose at all, if he wants him to enter the hunting city, he shouldn't say so many words that make his heart listen to the frustration, if he doesn't want him to enter the hunting city, but the sincerity in the words is noncommittal, Xiao Cong thought about it over and over again, and tried his best to think about it, but he still felt ambiguous,

"Could it be that this old fox is trying to catch me and catch me?"

"Be careful of the Ten Thousand Year Ship, I'd better feel the facts before making plans. ”

So he answered,

"I've heard that the closest place to Hunting City is Skull Suburbs, and I wonder if the Grand Shopkeeper Ding would be willing to send us there first. ”

Ding Bushan laughed when he heard this,

"It seems that Your Excellency still can't trust me, an old man, after all, and since Your Excellency wants to go to the Skeleton Suburbs first, then the old man is better than obeying his fate, anyway, this matter is much easier than sending you into the hunting city. ”

Xiao Cong bowed his hand,

"Then thank you to the shopkeeper Ding first. ”

Ding Bushan waved his hand,

"Your Excellency is polite, when will you leave?"

"Three days later. ”

"Okay, then we'll settle it. ”

"Well, that's a deal. ”
