Panshi City is not a magnificent city, but it is particularly famous in Qingzhou. Dachu Nine Ya Eighty-one Prefectures, Qingzhou is very martial. Since ancient times, Qingzhou has produced many great cultivators who have gone down in history. In addition to Li Lanfeng, who founded the Little Mantian Sect, there are two other people who cannot but be mentioned.

One, it is the stone block of the Shi family in Qingzhou. It is rumored that Shi Zhutian was the strongest cultivator in Qingzhou in the past, and he had no opponent in Qingzhou. When he was young, he went to Kunlun alone to seek Taoism, and was accepted by the Kunlun Mountain Hermitage, and after 12 years, he became a great success and left Kunlun to return to Qingzhou.

Shi Zhutian challenged all the masters in Qingzhou, and no one could stop him. Since then, the Shi family's reputation has been shaken. From a small rich family, he has become a big cultivator. Shi Fangtian left many powerful exercises for future generations to practice, so that the Shi family's position in Qingzhou has been as stable as a rock.

The other one is Zhao Qinghuan of the Zhao family.

Zhao Qinghuan's experience is somewhat similar to Shi Zhutian, except that he went to the imperial capital instead of Kunlun Mountain. It is rumored that he has an amazing talent and was admitted to the Shodo Academy, one of the four major colleges in the Imperial Capital City. He also had a reputation for himself in the Righteous Path Academy, and immediately after completing his studies, he joined the army and became a subordinate of Templar General Huang Roll.

Huang Roll led the Great Chu army to fight in the south and north, and Zhao Qinghuan made great achievements. He was named a Kokang candidate by the then Great Chu Holy Emperor, and he was hereditary and replaced. Since then, the Zhao family in Qingzhou has begun to trace, and has always had some contact with the Huang family of the Holy Church.

Zhao Qinghuan was made a marquis, and Panshi City was his fiefdom.

So here, the land belongs to the Zhao family, the people belong to the Zhao family, and even the flowers and trees belong to the Zhao family.

When Chen Xi stood outside the gate of Rock City, he raised his head and glanced at the city wall, and suddenly a sense of pride appeared in his heart, wanting to sweep away the city wall of this rock city with a flat shoulder. After pausing outside the city gate for a moment, he took a special look at the soldiers who were guarding the city. At present, there are not many cultivators among them, and their cultivation is below the three grades of Kaiji.

At the gate of the city, there were several people waiting for Chen Xi. Chen Xi didn't know them, but Chen Xi was sure that these people were waiting for him.

After a big battle between him and Huang Fubo in Wujiatun last night, he randomly found a place to meditate cross-legged and recuperate. Relying on the method taught to him by the great monk Yangzhao, he entered meditation and recovered his spirit very quickly.

"We thought you wouldn't dare come. ”

The young man said coldly, he was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and his face was somewhat similar to Zhao Wu who died in the Qingwu Academy. Chen Xi saw hatred in this person's eyes, and that cold was cold with killing intent. Obviously, when the elders of the Zhao family explained to these young disciples, they identified Chen Xi as a murderer.

This person gritted his teeth at Chen Xi and said, "My name is Zhao Wen, Zhao Wu's eldest brother. ”

Chen Xi gestured slightly, but did not say anything.

Zhao Wen snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the Rock City first. Chen Xi followed behind those people, casually looking at the streets of Rock City. After looking at it for a while, I immediately learned the origin of the name of this rock city. The houses in Rock City are all made of huge stones. Even the road is paved with stone, and there is not a single brick in sight.

It is located in a plain, and there is not a single mountain for two or three hundred miles around. I don't know what the people who built this rock city thought in the first place, but they did not hesitate to spend huge manpower and material resources to transport stones from so far away to build the city. So this seems a little weird, everything that is abnormal must have its root, but Chen Xi doesn't know what this root cause is for the time being.

He didn't have the heart to think about the origin of this rock city.

Walking along the street, the people in Chen Xi's city were particularly afraid of the people of the Zhao family. It was still far away, and when they saw Zhao Wen and the others, the people avoided them one after another, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads. is so afraid, it is obvious that the art of convincing people is not in virtue.

The Zhao family's mansion is in the middle of Rock City, covering an area of hundreds of acres. Chen Xi followed Zhao Wen and a few of them into the courtyard gate, and what came into sight was a large lotus pond. It stands to reason that the garden should be in the backyard. The Zhao Mansion's plan is obviously a little out of line with common sense.

The lotus pond can have dozens of acres, but it looks a little depressed. The lotus flowers in the water seem to have withered a lot, but no one takes care of them. With such a big family, there are naturally a large number of slaves and miscellaneous servants in the door. There was no one to clean up such a dirt in the lotus pond, Chen Xi couldn't help but take a few more glances at the lotus pond and secretly pay attention.

There was originally a stone-paved road in the middle of the lotus pond, which could be passed directly through the lotus pond. But Zhao Wen and the others took a detour and walked along the path outside the lotus pond. Chen Xi frowned, always feeling that there was something strange in this.

Walking to the front of the main hall, Zhao Wen asked Chen Xi to wait outside, and he and those people went in to communicate. Chen Xi stood in the clearing and looked around, and now a trestle bridge was built at the edge of the pond, about twenty or thirty meters long. Chen Xi's eyesight is excellent now, and he sees a layer of dust on the trestle, and there are many footprints on the dust, but judging from the size and texture, these footprints belong to the same person.

The trestle bridge is twenty or thirty meters deep into the lotus pond, and there are several large wooden barrels at the end.

Those barrels were enough to hold a cow, and it looked like it was some years old. Chen Xi sniffled, and there was a faint fishy smell in the air.

At this moment, Zhao Wen came out of it and looked at him and said in a cold tone: "The elders of the clan are waiting for you in the main hall, you can go in." ”

......

......

Chen Xi walked into the main hall, which was very spacious. Unlike the outside, which is paved with stone, the floor of the main hall is paved with a grayish-black looking brick. Even with boots on, you can still feel a chill on the ground. Chen Xi subconsciously rubbed it with his feet, and the gray and black were wiped off a little.

Chen Xi's heart moved, and he was sure that what he was stepping on was not bricks and stones, but ice bricks.

From the moment he entered the door, Chen Xi felt that the structure of the Zhao family's mansion was a little strange. As soon as you enter the door, there is a large lotus pond, which is nothing if it is a garden. But this is the front yard of a famous family, and Zhao Qinghuan, the ancestor of the Zhao family, has a title, in this case, the mansion should be built in accordance with the regulations.

Then Zhao Wen and the others did not go directly through the lotus pond, but had to take a detour. There must be a reason why there is a short way and not a long way. And then there's the trestle...... Since there is a stone road in the center of the lotus pond that runs straight through, the trestle bridge of more than 20 meters is meaningless. After that, the floor of the main hall was paved with extremely strong ice bricks. The gray and black layer on the surface was obviously deliberately sprinkled with dust to hide people's eyes and ears.

"You are Chen Xi?"

Hearing someone talking on the other side, Chen Xi raised his head and looked over. On the throne sat an old man in a gray cloth robe, who looked to be about seventy or eighty years old. However, cultivators live a long life, and this person's face is already so old, and his real age is only very big. Behind him stood respectfully a middle-aged man, Chen Xi recognized that it was Zhao Wujing, who had gone to the Qingwu Academy to take him away.

"Yes"

Chen Xi nodded, and leaned over slightly according to the courtesy of the juniors.

The old man snorted, and his voice was a little hoarse: "You have the courage to really come alone." I heard that you have entered the Inner Sect of the Little Mantian Sect and have ascended to the fourth floor of the Transformation Tower...... At your age, it's impressive to be able to accomplish something like this. I am glad that the outstanding people of the younger generations of the rivers and lakes are endless, and the rivers and lakes will be your rivers and lakes in the future. I'm getting old, and I like to see more outstanding teenagers supporting this river. ”

He spoke in a slow and gentle voice: "So, don't worry. If you answer me honestly, the Zhao family will not be embarrassed for you. After all, the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes of young people, and it is a sin to casually strangle the rivers and lakes of young people. ”

Chen Xi nodded: "I know everything." ”

The old man put away his smile, and his face became solemn: "Then let me ask you, Zhao Wu was killed by you?"

"It's not"

"Why did you die outside your door?"

"I don't know"

"Have you ever had a holiday with Zhao Wu!"

"Nope"

"What did he do with you?"

Chen Xi smiled and asked rhetorically, "I also want to know, what is Zhao Wu looking for me?"

The old man's series of questions were interrupted by Chen Xi's rhetorical question, and the momentum that he was about to occupy suddenly stopped. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then after his tone softened, he said: "When the children of the Zhao family go out to practice, especially the cultivation of big sects like the Little Mantian Sect, the Zhao family will not ask. So, what Zhao Wu is looking for you to do, I don't know. But...... You should know. ”

Chen Xi replied: "Zhao Wu said that he was willing to be friends with me and came to me in private to contact my feelings." ”

"You fart!"

Zhao Wujing, who was standing behind the old man, said angrily: "Full of lies! Zhao Wu went to find you, obviously because you were a threat to him!"

"Oh?"

Chen Xi asked with interest: "So, at that time, I was a small handyman, what threat did I have to Zhao Wu, who was born in a famous family? So much so that he knew that there was a threat, and he went to look for me?"

Zhao Wujing was stunned, and then he realized that he was taken into the ditch by Chen Xi's words. He thought about it and immediately changed the topic: "In any case, Zhao Wu died in front of you, and there was no one else at that time. Besides, I suspect that the white jade wall that I was carrying was snatched away by you. If my guess is correct, it is precisely because you found out that Zhao Wu was carrying treasures that you have the intention of killing people and seizing treasures!"

Chen Xi snorted: "Sounds a little reasonable...... It's not like I've never done this kind of thing. ”

He stretched out his hand and looked at Chu Lizhu on his wrist.

When they saw the string of beads, Zhao Wujing and the old man all changed their faces.

"It turns out that the rumors are true...... You even dare to grab the treasure of the Huang family in the Holy Hall of the Imperial Capital City, the Chu Lizhu given by the Holy Emperor himself. So, robbing Zhao Wu's Bai Yubi is nothing, right?"

The old man asked.

Chen Xi shook his head: "Wrong, wrong, wrong, such a garbage thing, I can't look at it yet." ”

Zhao Wujing was furious, and he stepped forward to make a move, but was stopped by the old man waving his hand. Zhao Wujing snorted and retreated, subconsciously glancing behind him. Chen Xi was keenly aware of this subtle movement, and looked along Zhao Wujing's line of sight, and there was a black shadow behind the screen that flickered and disappeared.

He sneered in his heart, although the figure flashed extremely fast, he still saw it. Chen Xi's eyesight is amazing, and his memory is also amazing, and he found a person in his mind who could overlap by looking at his body movements and movements.

It seems that this trip to the Zhao family may really involve something dirty and dirty.

Chen Xi adjusted his breathing and raised his chin slightly.
