Three days later.

Sycamore Lane.

A girl in a blue dress walked towards the gate of the Zhong Mansion.

It just so happened that a woman in a yellow dress came out of it.

The girl in the blue dress stopped, waited for her to step forward, and solemnly bowed her hand: "Chen Daoyou." ”

The woman in the yellow dress glanced up and down, her eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "It turned out to be Gu Daoyou, Master Zhong is not here, Daoyou might as well come back another day." ”

"That's really not a coincidence, it just so happens that I have other things, Chen Daoyou will see you back."

Gu Baiyu greeted with a smile and turned to leave.

She is on the second level of Qi refining, and in the scattered cultivation of Qingyang City, she can be regarded as the existence at the bottom, and she is cautious everywhere.

A quarter of an hour later.

She returned and stepped into the No. 9 courtyard of Zhongfu, "I'm tired, Gu Baiyu begged to see Qingyao's seniors." ”

When the maid saw the face of the visitor, she asked carefully: "The honorable guest is an immortal master?" ”

Gu Baiyu smiled kindly: "Yes, there is labor." ”

"Immortal Master, please!"

All the way through the corridor, Gu Baiyu secretly observed, and sighed that the houses in the southern district were different.

Enter the side hall.

Dongcao came to greet him first and instructed the maid to make spiritual tea and fill spiritual fruit snacks.

"Immortal Master Gu will sit down for a while, and Mrs. Yao will come in a while."

"Thank you." Even in the face of mortals, Gu Baiyu was a little nervous.

Not for a while.

Gu Bai Yu hurriedly got up and slammed it to the end, honestly afraid, "Bai Yu has seen Qing Yao's seniors!" It's a sin to disturb the cultivation of your predecessors! ”

Yu Qingyao, who had just sent one person back to the cultivation room to prepare for cultivation, was originally a little depressed in her heart, but seeing her like this, she was in a good mood.

"Gu Daoyou doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat."

Gu Baiyu said with embarrassment: "My little sister is in a hurry, and she has never come to the door with gifts, and I don't want to look at Sister Qingyao." ”

Yu Qingyao said with a smile: "As a monk in the same city, you don't have to care about this. ”

Gu Bai Yu said: "In order not to delay my sister's time, with all due respect, I learned yesterday that there are demon beasts in Changle Town, Bai Yu wants to ask my sister to make it convenient, talk to Master Zhong, and let me go on a mission." ”

Yu Qingyao was surprised, "That's a fourth-layer demon beast refining qi." ”

Gu Baiyu said: "Sister, don't worry, I promise to complete it, and all the demon beasts I have obtained are dedicated to you." ”

Yu Qingyao pondered for a moment and said: "I can't be the master of this matter, my husband should return to the city today, let me ask." ”

Gu Baiyu got up and arched his hand, "In this way, thank you Sister Qingyao, little sister won't bother much." ”

Yu Qingyao was stunned, got up and sent him off, "By the way, where does Gu Daoyou live, I will inform you if there is news." ”

"My sister lives in the West District temporarily, if it's convenient, I'll come back tomorrow."

Western...... Yu Qingyao nodded.

"Sister Qingyao stays!"

Looking at the departing back, Yu Qingyao was a little stunned for a while, as if she saw her own shadow from the other party.

Many of the Keqing monks didn't look down on the task of slaying demons, and the cost of effort and time was not high, and she also took the initiative to go to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for a task.

The difference is that she only picks simple tasks, weak demon beasts, but Gu Baiyu dares to step forward even two levels higher than demon beasts.

Dongcao sent people back, glanced at the undrunk spiritual tea on the table, and said with a wink: "Sister Qingyao, this Gu Bai Yu is a little different. ”

Unlike the two female cultivators who came yesterday just now, they talked a lot about it, and they made friends, and Yu Qingyao was a little impatient before she was willing to leave.

"Sister Qingyao, what kind of cultivation does she have, why does she still live in such a chaotic place in the West District?"

"On the second floor of Qi refining, it is estimated that there is no spirit stone to rent a house in the southern district, the cultivation is so low, there is no livelihood, and mortals have no way to get money."

"No wonder ......"

Yu Qingyao thought for a while and said, "She will come back tomorrow and give her some silver, and some Lingmi demon beast meat, by the way, let Xiaozhong give me a copy of her information." ”

"Okay."

……

In the afternoon of the same day.

Zhong Yan returned to the mansion, sat down at the top of the main hall, and summoned a few people.

Zhong Xiaozhong said: "Master, the story of your encounter with mountain bandits in Fuyang Town has spread in the city, and yesterday Wei Changfeng and Liu Zhengchun visited the Yang Mansion and did not come out again......"

Li Shangwen said with a smile: "Uncle, it is estimated that Uncle Yang will come to the door in the next two days to be a peacemaker to resolve the conflict." ”

Zhong Yan nodded, "It's a trivial matter, I'm not going to fight with them, but the bandits in Shizhu Mountain are a little useful." ”

"Yunning, they will be the first training question in the battle hall, half a year later, go up the mountain to suppress the bandits and eliminate harm for the people, remember, you can't use talismans, you can't use strong crossbows, limit thirty people, and those who survive will enter the house."

Zhou Yunning: "Yes, husband! ”

Chatted for a while.

Zhong Yanping retreated from the crowd, leaving Li Yang's and asked, "How?" ”

"Uncle Hui, the three hundred dead guards have all been used, and no clues have been found in Qingyang and the eighteen nearby market towns."

"But it can be determined that the person went out of the West City Gate in March last year, and the specific whereabouts are unknown."

"Uncle, look, are you still looking for it?"

Zhong Yan pursed his lips and sighed in his heart, it is estimated that the spiritual root has completely left the Qingyang range that day, even the northwest realm, and even the Yan country border.

"Not yet."

Zhong Yan shook his head and asked, "How many dead guards are there in the city now?" ”

"About one hundred and sixty."

"Scatter them all out, and ...... them in Maple Forest and Pingqi Village"

After a detailed explanation, Li Yang nodded seriously and left in a hurry.

……

In the evening, Yu Qingyao mentioned Gu Baiyu's request for a task.

"Gu Baiyu?" Zhong Yan didn't have much impression of this second layer of qi training.

He probably knew that the few female cultivators who came to the mansion as guests either had an unclean background, or they were entangled with other male cultivators in the city, so he wouldn't want it.

"Qingyang, who was newly entered at the end of last year, when we had a ceremony, didn't more than 20 people come without receiving an invitation, and she was one of them."

Zhong Yan nodded, and said indifferently: "She can go if she wants, there are sergeants with her, what is so difficult about killing a fourth-layer demon beast of qi refining, you think everyone is as afraid of death as you!" ”

When he first entered the first layer of qi refining, he only learned the gravitational technique and the fireball technique, and he dared to follow his fellow sect to hunt demon beasts in the middle stage of qi refining.

Yu Qingyao glanced at her, pinched her husband's waist, and didn't say anything about Gu Baiyu.

Next.

Yang Yanqing really came to the door, and Wei Changfeng and Liu Zhengchun came with him.

After a pleasantry and a lot of friendly words on both sides.

Yang Yanqing said with a smile: "The three of them don't know each other, but fortunately, they didn't cause any losses, why not shake hands and make peace?" Speaking of which, Zhong Daoyou and Liu Daoyou are still in the same door! ”

"Oh?"

Zhong Yan was surprised, and suddenly said: "I said that I feel that Liu Daoyou is a little familiar, and I can't remember where I have seen it for a while, and when did Daoyou go down the mountain?" ”

Liu Zhengchun's face was full of sighs: "Three or four years earlier than Daoyou, wandering around, I only arrived in Qingyang recently, and now I have been away from the sect for almost ten years, but I can't compare with Daoyou." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Zhong Daoyou may not know, you and I still live in the North Courtyard, but I usually stay in the room to practice, and I have never had direct contact, but I have often heard of the name of Daoyou. ”

Zhong Yan showed a hint of embarrassment and changed the topic with a haha.

The acting skills of the two can be described as superb and abnormal.

True or false, after so many years, who can tell the specifics? The outer disciples have a stubble every year, and they can't check it.

A wine banquet solved the suspicions.

At the end, Yang Yanqing said: "At the end of the month, there will be an auction in Liufang City, many monks will gather, we are ready to leave in three days, why don't you go together?" ”

Yu Qingyao's heart moved, and she looked at her husband, she wanted to see the world.

Zhong Yan smiled: "I won't join in this fun, I will also watch others bid and drool when I go." ”

Yang Yanqing seemed to have a meaningful gaze, and others didn't know it, but he knew that Zhong Yanguang had shared more than 10,000 spirit stones from the money he had from selling "Sword Condensing Technique".

Zhong Yan smiled angrily: "Brother Dao, don't believe it! Little brother, my qualifications are so poor, how do you think I broke through to the fifth layer? It's all piled up with pills! That little thing has already bottomed out......"

Yang Yanqing was dumbfounded, and he believed it a little in his heart, he heard Bai Siyuan say that he also slammed the pill and rushed to the eighth layer.

After the banquet was dismissed, the three of them left the Zhong Mansion.

Yang Yanqing said: "Don't worry, although Zhong Yan is ruthless, he is usually easy to speak, as long as you don't provoke him again, there will be no problem." ”

In fact, if Wei Changfeng and Liu Zhengchun really have contradictions and hatred with Zhong Yan, and they want to mix in Qingyang City, they must take this trip.

Not to mention Zhong Yan's own strength, Shan Hu's name as a mage is not something that the two of them can fight.

And the other side.

Zhong Yan pinched the wine glass and sighed in his heart, it is still an old friend who cooperates tacitly, and a look is enough.

With Liu Zhengchun in Yang's Mansion, you can learn a lot of information.

The key is that he has to figure out where the hostility of 'Zhang Yufu' comes from, and he can't give people yin without knowing it.

Yu Qingyao asked, "Zhong Lang, why don't you go to Liufang City?" ”

"I heard that in addition to the auction, there is also a trading bazaar that lasts for half a month, bringing together countless monks from the past, and there must be a lot of resources to be replaced."

Zhong Yan smiled and asked, "Do you want to go?" ”

Yu Qingyao nodded, "Except for the small auction at the Qingyang Mid-Year Fair, I haven't participated in the auction yet, besides, we have so many herbs, we can just exchange some of them over there." ”

Zhong Yan: "There will be a chance in the future." ”

……

The next few days.

Zhong Yan frequently went out of the house, visited many monks in the city, and took the initiative to sell talismans.

Naturally, the news spread.

Coupled with the heated discussions in the city during this time, and many monks have already gone to 'Wangqi City' to join in the fun, it is speculated that Zhong Yan is also going to participate in the auction in order to raise spirit stones.

However, Zhong Yan did not move, and indicated to some of the monks that he had no money and was not ready to go.

Southern District, Zheng House.

Five monks gathered.

"What a chance!"

"Now that the middle and late stages of the city and many mid-stage monks are almost gone, if Zhong Yan goes out of the city, he will be able to intercept and kill him!"

"I heard that his talisman making level is good, and the success rate is also high, and he has accumulated it for more than a year, how can he sell thousands of spirit stones!"

"It's too early to be happy, who knows if he can't get out of the city!"

"In other words, I will take this opportunity to go to Fang City, it is not easy to be targeted, and not only Qingyang, but many monks elsewhere must also go to watch the fun."

"Let's not take a look? This is a grand event, I heard that there are at least 50,000 people, and people from various sects and families participate......"

"There's no money to go, there's a fart! After gaining knowledge, there are more opportunities. ”

"Let's go back to Zhong Yan, if you want to rob him, it's best to take advantage of this time, wait for Bai Siyuan and them to come back, and if he goes to Fang City again, he will definitely invite someone to accompany him, so don't think about it."

"Just take the initiative to ask him to go to Yangquanfang City!"

A group of people looked at each other, their eyes twinkling.

"You have to plan and prepare, and there is a Yu Qingyao, you have to be foolproof, finish this ticket, and leave Qingyang to change places!"
