Inside the Eastern Capital.

The door of the Dark Guard Mansion was as silent as ever.

It's just that compared with the past, today is a little more solemn and tense. There are only a few guards in the black complex, but there are many secret sentinel masters hidden in the shadows.

This is the world-famous, or notorious, headquarters of the Secret Guard, and its defenses are almost second only to that of the Imperial Palace.

He has the power of the secret guard in the world, and is in charge of the dark guard governor of Da Zheng Ermu, and the official residence for handling official affairs is here.

In the main hall in the depths of the Dark Guard Mansion, in the deepest part was a tall black wooden table, and Xiao Lie, dressed in a black gold-rimmed official robe, sat behind it, and the faint candlelight reflected his face uncertainly.

A small child stood beside Xiao Lie.

"At the beginning, he was called the first person in the void, and most people thought that it was just a Taoist boast, even if he defeated the six faces of the Vajra Temple and the old thoughts of the Molun Temple, not many people felt that he deserved it. ”

Xiao Lie's face was expressionless, and he said softly: "Go on." ”

The childish boy organized his words a little, and after a moment of silence, he continued to say calmly: "Now that he can step into the frost, it shows that the eldest brother's cultivation talent, or luck, is really good, and his future achievements are immeasurable. ”

The identity of the childish child is revealed, naturally it is Xiao Lie's youngest son, Xiao Yu's half-brother Xiao Jin.

Xiao Lie gently rubbed the jade wrench on his thumb, as if it was a cat's eyes at night, exuding a deep and bewitching turquoise luster.

"The Dao Sect decided to cultivate him, and he also came into contact with so many high-level cultivators, if he couldn't reach the sky in one step, what was the use of such a mediocre Dao Sect?"

Xiao Lie turned sideways, looked at Xiao Jin on the side, and asked, "It's just why did he kill Wei Chi?"

Xiao Jin said: "I'm wondering if it's related to the pupil?"

Xiao Lie asked calmly, "Blind pupil or blind pupil law?"

Xiao Jin paused slightly, hesitated for a moment and then hesitated, "Maybe it's both?"

Xiao Lie said indifferently: "Last year, I died in Xiao Yu's backyard, but there was nothing left except a little scorch. ”

Xiao Jin was slightly surprised, raised his head and said, "So, is it the eldest brother who killed people?"

Xiao Lie said: "What kind of fire can burn people so thoroughly in a short period of time, leaving only a trace left?"

Xiao Jin's eyes lit up: "It can never be mortal fire, it can only be the fire of cultivators." And this can't be that Hitomi burned himself to death, that is to say, it was the eldest brother who burned Hitomi's body to nothingness at that time. ”

Xiao Lie said indifferently: "In addition to the pupil law, the pupil himself is the best at controlling fire. ”

Xiao Jin continued: "In this way, the pupil himself was sucked dry by the eldest brother using the pupil method, and his fire control technique and other mastery were also included in the eldest brother's bag. ”

Xiao Lie said with a faint smile on his face: "This time is good, but in the future, you must learn to find doubts from the details." ”

Xiao Jin bowed his head and responded.

Xiao Lie got up from the tall Taishi chair and said, "External factors aside, in all fairness, Xiao Yu is very good, but he has chosen a wrong direction, and this kind of excellence will only hasten his demise. ”

Xiao Jin remembered the news he had just seen, frowned slightly and said, "There are no absolutes in the world. ”

Xiao Lie looked at his eyes calmly and said, "You are brothers, but brothers will also be separated." ”

Xiao Jin frowned deeper and said, "I don't understand." ”

Xiao Lie walked down the steps of the black case a few times, his clicking voice was particularly clear, and he said quietly: "No matter how much Xiao Yu hates me, he is a member of the Xiao family after all, and it is the Xiao family's blood that flows." If one day, you and I disappear silently in this eastern capital, there will still be a Xiao clan person alive in the world. ”

Xiao Jin asked nervously, "On this day...... I'm afraid it won't come, right?"

Xiao Lie's eyes drooped slightly, and he said lightly: "There are no absolutes in the world. ”

Xiao Jin looked a little at a loss, and said to himself: "Our Xiao family has been for more than a hundred years, and there are countless branches and leaves, even if we encounter a big disaster, there will always be a few people who survive." ”

Xiao Lie raised his head and said indifferently: "Counting on those wastes who are struggling to survive? You have also spent some time with me in the dark guard these days, isn't it clear that those so-called clansmen can't escape the pursuit of the secret guard at all?"

......

There are two hidden places in the Eastern Capital City, one is Xiao Lie's Secret Guard Mansion, and the other is Mr. Tianji Pavilion.

The reason why Tianji Pavilion is named Tianji Pavilion is because it has a treasure called Tianji List.

And the Heavenly Machine List, as its name suggests, can show the level of the cultivator's realm, and it is really as wonderful as leaking the heavenly machine.

In the small attic in the dense forest behind the Tianji Pavilion, a young man in a blue shirt has been standing here since his husband left.

At this moment, he was staring at a name on the Heavenly Machine List, silent.

A few months ago, he was instructed by his husband to start paying attention to the name.

At that time, this name was just an inconspicuous existence at the end of the Void Darkness List, and just a few months later, that name was still at the end, but it crossed a realm, and was promoted from Void Darkness to Frost.

"You can cross a realm in a few months...... The power of luck is indeed mysterious. ”

The blue-shirted young man took down a book with a black cover from the tall bookshelves on both sides, opened it gently, and muttered to himself, "The last time a saint was born, it was about the period of the Dao Sect's sword fight. There was a saint in the way of the sword, and he overwhelmed the twenty-four great true people of the Dao Sect, forcibly split the Sword Sect, and formed a faction of his own. Now that a thousand years have passed, the saint should come out, and the Dao Sect should also send a saint to take back the Sword Sect. ”

"But who is this saint, Qiu Ye, Xiao Yu or the head of the Taoist sect?"

Then he immediately denied his speculation and said, "It shouldn't be Xiao Yu, he is probably the one who leads the way for the saint." According to the teacher's speculation, this saint should also fall into the Taoist sect. ”

"Taoism is in the ascendant, but not now. You're too early. ”

......

The northeast of the eastern capital is the northern capital, the southeast of the eastern capital is the Jiangdu, and the northwest of the eastern capital is the middle capital.

In the middle of the capital.

A team called Tongbao Merchant inexplicably mixed in with a woman and a monk.

Shopkeeper Sun was not happy in his heart, but he saw that the two of them were good, and even more so on the face of the heavy enough silver, so he didn't say the words of refusal.

Because there has been no war for a long time, Zhongdu City is not as indifferent as Xiao Yu thought.

Small merchants and hawkers, tea houses and wine shops, and even fireworks in green buildings are also available.

As the night deepened, a few young people in the caravan couldn't help it, and slipped away early to a few familiar green buildings in the city.

And a few older ones stayed in the inn because they had to guard the silver, and they also turned a blind eye to these young people who had been holding back for a few months.

And the trio of Xiao Yu, a monk, and a girl naturally stayed in the inn.
