On the other side of the street, a young man dressed in white smiled at Chen Xi. That smile is distant and kind, it seems like it was yesterday and it seems like it is in the future.

Guan Lie

At the time of the Great War of the Mantian Sect, almost all the disciples of the Inner Sect were taken hostage in Qingliang Mountain. But Guan Lie is obviously not among them, and a person like him doesn't even dare to detain Qiu Xin'an. There are nine gates in the rivers and lakes, and the Guan family ranks first. And the Guan family also has an old man who claims to be Guan San and no one dares to challenge him for many years, and this old man's favorite great-grandson is Guan Lie.

Perhaps because of this reputation as the third in the world, the Guan family is the only family among the nine gates of the rivers and lakes that has not participated in the dirty affairs of the princes. Because the Guan family doesn't need to stand in line, they just need to quietly watch who sits on the chair in the end. Someone once said that Old Man Guan was the person who had the greatest influence on the Holy Court besides the national teacher. Because he is the third in the world, the weight of which side he stands on will be heavy enough to tilt the scales.

"You're also going to see King Pingjiang?"

Chen Xi asked.

Guan Lie was curious: "Why did you use a word yes?"

After he finished asking, he suddenly remembered something: "Before, the Liuyun chariot of the Liu family flew in the sky and suddenly disappeared, and it was expected that someone from the Liu family saw you?" It seems that the rumors are true, and the peerless beauty of the Liu family who should only be in the sky really has something to do with you. ”

Chen Xi asked, "Where are the rumors?"

Guan Lie replied with a smile: "I don't want to talk to people in the Mantian Sect, that's because those people think I'm high, so I just want to be high." But when I returned to Tianshu City, where was my turn to be high? The circle is that everyone in this circle is from a similar background, so there are more words. Besides, I wasn't ugly, so the woman's popularity is not bad...... You also know that gossip comes mostly from this circle. Of course, this kind of thing is still spread in a very small circle, and no one dares to say it nonsense. ”

Chen Xi was curious: "How did the matter of the Mantian Sect spread to Tianshu City so quickly?"

Guan Lie looked at Chen Xi with idiot eyes: "Do you think that Liu Xichen voluntarily left the Mantian Sect and returned to Tianshu City?"

Chen Xi's heart was shocked, and then he understood. People like Liu Xichen practiced in the Mantian Sect, and they didn't know how many family masters protected them. And Liu Xichen entered the same illusion and experienced the same life in the Fortune Change Tower, and this kind of thing can't be hidden after all. And Liu Xichen was pinned on by the family, and it was rumored that the two families were very satisfied with the childhood sweethearts of King Pingjiang. Therefore, it is not an accident that Liu Xichen was forced to return to Tianshu City by the people of the family.

Chen Xi only felt that he was so stupid, if it weren't for Guan Lie's reminder, he wouldn't have thought of this layer.

"Why are you here?"

He didn't want Guan Lie to see what was on his mind, so he diverted the topic.

Guan Lie pointed to the distance: "A few streets away is Zongheng Academy, and I am studying in the academy." ”

Chen Xi was slightly stunned: "Abandon martial arts and follow literature?"

Guan Lie laughed: "Where is it as simple as you think, people like us have been arranged for fate from birth, even if I struggle for a while, I still can't get out." Entering Zongheng Academy to study is nothing more than adding a halo to yourself. When I entered the Holy Court later, it sounded better to say that I was born in Zongheng Academy. Seven or eight times out of ten people in the academy are like this. ”

Chen Xi suddenly felt that Guan Lie was a little pitiful.

"King Pingjiang has a big banquet today. ”

Guan Lie said: "Banquet for the leaders of the younger generation of various families, I am naturally on the list. In the past month, the Tai Hospital has been notified of the Holy Emperor's critical illness three times in a row, and now except for the Dark Law Division, which is still trying to find a way to continue the Holy Emperor's life, everyone else has given up. ”

"The two most promising people to inherit the throne now are King Pingjiang, who has the support of the national teacher behind him. Moreover, in order to win over the generals of the Thirty-six Holy Churches, King Pingjiang must be concerned about his marriage with Liu Xichen. The second is the King of Anyang, who has the support of the other Jianghu Eight Gates except for my Guan family, and the support of other Templar generals except the Liu family. These two holy princes are fighting openly and secretly, and they are fighting inextricably. ”

Chen Xi shrugged his shoulders: "These have nothing to do with me. ”

"Yes"

Guan Lie said: "Since we are friends, then it is necessary for me to remind you...... Once King Pingjiang knows what is between you and Liu Xichen, he will not let you go. So I still have to advise you, leave Tianshu City as much as possible. ”

"Will leave, but not now. ”

Chen Xi smiled gratefully at Guan Lie: "You're not in a hurry to go to the banquet?"

Guan Lie shook his head: "On that occasion, I don't want to stay longer." Go a little late, eat and drink when you arrive, and then pretend to be drunk and leave. ”

Chen Xi nodded: "Then find a place to sit first?"

Guan Lie shook his head again: "No...... Later, my brother will come to me and go to the Pingjiang Palace, and he will not be very good to see you. ”

Chen Xi thought of the young man named Guan Ze, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that I really shouldn't come to Tianshu City, there are all very awesome enemies here." ”

Guan Lie said: "This is exactly what I want to say...... Tianshu City is a good place, and many, many people are crowded to have a place in Tianshu City. Either it is bull-forced in Tianshu City, or it is bull-forced and then comes to Tianshu City. Why don't you wait, wait until you're done?"

Chen Xi replied seriously: "Because I don't have enough time." ”

......

......

Liu Xichen left, and Guan Lie left.

Chen Xi regained his peace of mind.

He walked aimlessly, and after half an hour he had reached seventeen streets. Su Kan was startled when he followed behind Chen Xi, the two great cultivators that Chen Xi was going to deal with lived in the innermost part of the seventeenth street, Chen Xi actually dared to come here...... It's crazy.

Seventeen avenues are wide, and every street in Tianshu City is wide. But it was a bit crowded, with people rubbing their shoulders and no one remembering the faces of the people around them. Because there is a wet market, the environment here is not only messy but also dirty.

The leaves were trampled into pulp, and the color mixed with the dust looked like stool, or the kind of bad stomach. People passing by don't care about this, and the footsteps of the chirp are connected.

Chen Xi looked like he was casually looking at his surroundings, but he was carefully trying to distinguish what was special. All the information about the Chen brothers kept coming to his mind, and he wanted to find a special place on this street. The Chen brothers definitely didn't just choose seventeen avenues as their residence, there must be something here for those two people to pay attention to.

The most special place of Seventeen Streets is naturally this dirty and messy vegetable market, Chen Xi thought about it carefully, and the vegetable market has nothing to do with the Chen brothers. The great cultivators of the Lingshan realm will be fine if they don't eat for a few years. Since it has nothing to do with vegetables and meat, what does it have to do with anything else?

Chen Xi walked all the way and watched all the way, from one end to the other.

There are a total of 266 shops on the 17 streets, including four restaurants, three casinos, two tea houses, and one green building. In addition, there are mostly ready-to-wear, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and there is nothing eye-catching.

"Childe, what are we looking for?"

Sukan asked.

Chen Xi shook his head: "I don't look for anything, just take a look." I ask you, if you had to say one reason why you would choose to live on Seventeenth Street?"

"Must?"

Su Kan thought for a while and scratched his head: "There really is no other reason other than this vegetable market. There are other shops on this street, and there are also other streets. If there's a reason, it's just to eat some fresh vegetables. ”

"Fresh?"

Chen Xi repeated these two words, and something suddenly came to mind in his mind. He immediately turned and walked back, leaving Sukan a little overwhelmed. Back at his residence, Chen Xi immediately contacted Chen Dingdang with the Directional Treasure Guide. The latter arrived within half an hour and quietly entered Chen Xi's courtyard. With Chen Dingdang's cultivation, it was easy to hide from the people in the Strange Guest Hall.

"Uncle Chen"

Chen Xi asked, "I want to know, do you need any external assistance to practice illusion exercises?"

Chen Dingdang pondered for a while and then replied: "I don't know much about this, there is only one Chen Diji in the Mantian Sect who practices this kind of exercise, and he does a very good job of keeping it secret, and he has not revealed it to anyone." But as far as I know, this kind of exercise often requires something as a medium...... He can't just get into other people's heads, he needs something to help. However, this kind of thing is a top secret for people who practice illusion exercises, and even close relatives and friends rarely tell sù. ”

"Wet market...... Fresh ......"

Chen Xi muttered to himself, there must be some inevitable connection between this and Chen Diji's exercises.

"Could it be blood?"

He asked.

Chen Dingdang said: "It's really hard to say, after all, there are very few people who practice this kind of exercise. It's not just a casual cultivator who can practice illusions, it requires strong spiritual power. Because it's rare, it's mysterious. But...... Maybe it's blood. He wants to enter the spiritual world of others, and the medium he needs must be the most direct to him. And what could be more direct than blood? He certainly wouldn't use his own blood, nor would he use human blood, so fresh animal blood was the most likely. ”

Chen Xi nodded, Chen Dingdang's speculation was very reasonable. Using one's own blood as a medium outweighs the loss, and using other people's blood as a medium is not easy to get, after all, hurting people can't be hidden, and once there are more people who have been taken blood, everyone will inevitably be suspicious. There are meat sellers, fish sellers, and all kinds of live animals sold in the vegetable market, and it is indeed the most convenient to collect blood.

"Sue sù Ao Qian, let him do his best to set up a stall in the vegetable market. ”

Chen Xi clenched his fists: "It seems that he is about to find Chen Diji's life." ”

......

......

Mu Lingsan came to the door for the fourth time, and this time he did not invite Chen Xi to go to the Strange Guest Hall to be the master of the sixth hall. Instead, he asked directly, "What should I do for you to help me?"

"Intelligence"

Chen Xi's answer was more simple and direct: "If you want to make the Yiketang rise, what you need is intelligence. Intelligence from all sides, from the top to the bottom, all kinds of intelligence. Any casual cultivator who has just arrived in Tianshu City can be wooed, and after entering Tianshu City, the Yike Hall must know it as soon as possible, and it will be the first time to win it over, which requires intelligence. What happened to those big people at the top has a direct impact on the bottom, and knowing it a minute earlier will be of great help, which requires intelligence. If you want to make the stranger hall bigger, you need to know everything about the enemy, even if the enemy eats and when these trivial things are useful, which requires intelligence. ”

"Chen Gongzi, please make it clear, what do you need me to do, I will do it immediately. ”

"Pick thirty people, good eyesight, clever people, and good skills to give it to me. ”

Chen Xi said: "I don't go directly to the hall to be the hall master, but to help you in secret." Give me thirty people, and I will train them in the shortest possible time. These thirty people are the first batch of intelligence officers in the Stranger Hall, and I will let them play their best role. ”

"Good!"

Mu Lingsan stood up and nodded vigorously: "I will do my best to select people to come out." ”

Chen Xi reminded: "Don't sue anyone, even if it's a whisper. ”

Mu Lingsan said: "I know, only you and I know about this matter. ”

Chen Xi smiled, stood up and said, "Give me a month, and I will find out all the gangs that pose a threat to the Strange Guest Hall." But let's talk about it ahead...... If I did it for you, how would you thank me?"

Mu Lingsan immediately replied: "After the Yike Hall, you and I are one and a half." ”

Chen Xi smiled: "I don't want so much, I just need one thing." ”

"What is it?"

"You'll find out later. ”

Chen Xi looked out the window: "When you soar, you can give it to me again." ”
