Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and at this time, five years have passed since Zhou Xingyu entered the Finger Xuanmen.

A lot of things have happened in the past six months, Wang Ye has passed the assessment in the door, and has become the young master of the Xuanmen, and his status has improved a lot. The auction house he cooperated with the Wang family was also successfully established, and it was named Tianxing Auction House, because there were two old top 100 people in charge of Elder Li and Bald Ye, although there were some twists and turns, but in general it was still very smooth.

After meeting that day, on the second day, the bald master and Elder Li sent medicinal materials, in order to facilitate Zhou Xingyu's alchemy and hide his whereabouts, the two bought Zhou Xingyu a mansion with a wide area in Yunshan City under Xuanmen Mountain. Because it was not the first time to refine the pill, Zhou Xingyu only spent half a month successfully refining the Huanglong Pill and handed over the pill to Wang Ye.

When the first auction was held, because the news that Huanglongdan could help break through the hundred was directly released, the Yunshan City under the mountain could be described as overcrowded, and countless people in the rivers and lakes frantically poured to this side, not only from Bazhou, but also from other states.

Because there were too many masters, in the end, they even alarmed Chen Linsu, the owner of the Xuanmen, and under the control of this great master, there was no chaos, but because of this, the profits of the Tianxing Auction House had to be shared with the Xuanmen.

In the secret room, Zhou Xingyu sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, and an incense burner was placed on the low table in front of him, from which curling green smoke rose. Next to the incense burner, there is an empty jade bottle, and a faint fragrance overflows from the bottle.

When Zhou Xingyu opened his eyes, a fine light shot out of his eyes, cutting through the darkness, and he pushed the door and came outside the secret room.

"Another good day!"

Zhou Xingyu stretched hard, his eyes full of smiles.

After half a year of cultivation, the martial arts, and the mysteries have condensed four hundred and five, and they have officially entered the fourth layer of breaking one hundred.

Aoki broke through to the eighth layer.

In addition to the breakthrough of cultivation, because of the sufficient alchemy materials, Zhou Xingyu also developed a new pill called Huang Lingdan, the medicinal power is between Huang Ya Dan and Huang Long Dan, in addition to not being able to improve the success rate of breakthroughs, it is almost the same as Huang Long Dan in terms of internal strength. The cost of alchemy is only one-fifth of that of Huanglong Dan, and about 5,000 taels can buy a pair of medicinal materials.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Xingyu was able to make a breakthrough in martial arts and Aoki at the same time in such a short period of time.

"The master has been gone for half a year, and I don't know when I will come back, and there is no news from the senior brother." Zhou Xingyu sat by the stone cliff outside the secret room, his thoughts were flying, and he couldn't help but think of Li Qingtai and Li Tong who had left.

I don't know what happened to them.

Just as Zhou Xingyu was silently distracted, he was suddenly slapped on the shoulder.

"Ah Xing, we may be about to set off." Wang Ye sat beside Zhou Xingyu, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to him.

Zhou Xingyu took the letter in his hand, looked at it, and his face began to become heavy.

……

The night was dark and the wind was high, the wind was howling, the surrounding trees creaked and the rain poured down, and the ground was splashed with countless mud.

On an official road in the bamboo forest, two young men wearing robes and hats and riding black horses galloped wildly.

"Ah Xing, the rain is too heavy, there are still fifty miles away from Qingxi City, let's find a place to rest first, shall we?"

The heavy rain fell, although Wang Ye's voice was not small, but under the cover of the rain, it was not so obvious, but fortunately, Zhou Xingyu's five senses were far beyond ordinary people because of the reason for cultivating Aoki Jue, and he clearly heard Wang Ye's words.

"Brother Ye, there is a light in the col ahead, I took a look at it and it seems to be a manor, let's go over there!"

Now that they had a goal, the speed of the two couldn't help but speed up a little, and soon they passed through the bamboo forest and came to a corner.

The two horses stood side by side, the two of them holding the reins, and in the thunder they swept their eyes downward, where a courtyard painted by a wall fell quietly below, surrounded by dense and verdant bamboo forests, and in front of the manor, two lanterns emitted bright yellow fire in the night sky, which was clearly visible.

Looking at the manor in front of them, the two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't have to brave the rain to hurry tonight.

The two led the horses, walked slowly along the path, and soon came to the front of the manor, tied the horses to the stone lion in front of the manor, Wang Ye stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone there? The rain is too heavy tonight, and we want to borrow it for one night in the courtyard, and hope that the host will give it convenience. ”

The door slammed, and soon there were bursts of footsteps in the door, and as the door creaked, it slowly opened, and an old woman with a wrinkled face poked her head out from behind the door, she lifted the lantern, looked at the two of them, and then asked, "People in the rivers and lakes?" ”

There was a look of scrutiny on his face.

Wang Ye hugged his fists and said: "This old woman, we passed by the bamboo forest tonight, the rain was too strong, it was inconvenient to rush overnight, and there was no place to shelter from the rain nearby, so we came to Zhuangzi to spend the night and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Old mamma, don't worry, we won't be less than the house money."

Hearing Wang Ye's words, the old woman stood for a long time, looked up at the door, and after thinking for a while, she said, "It's not impossible to borrow a night, but remember not to disturb my master and wife to rest." ”

Since the other party agreed to live temporarily with them and others, the two naturally had no opinion on this request, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, old lady, we can save it." ”

The old woman nodded, walked behind her, and did not forget to say: "You come with me, there are a few houses in the front yard, just for you to rest tonight." Also, if it's okay, don't go to the backyard, where my master and wife live. ”

The two followed the old woman all the way, and soon came to the outside of a dilapidated room, the old man took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve, opened the door, and then instructed the two of them, and then turned around and left the front yard, walking towards the back yard.

"Are those people arranged?" A hoarse voice spoke, its voice gruff, as if its throat was filled with sand.

"The host, all arranged, are two people in the rivers and lakes who rushed overnight, are young students, because the rain is too strong, the road is inconvenient, so come to our house to borrow a night. I've told them not to come to the backyard and disturb the master and the lady. The old woman said respectfully.

The man nodded and said, "That's it, I'm going to stay with Madame for a while, you go down and rest first." ”

The old man bowed, turned and left the room.

Zhou Xingyu and Wang Ye entered the house and looked at the surrounding environment, the room was not big, only a bed and a table, perhaps because the windows were closed and no one lived in it for a long time, the room was full of musty smell, fortunately, the walls and roof were still intact, but there was no need to worry about wind and rain.

"I can only do it tonight." Wang Ye looked at the clothes on his body, and a wry smile appeared on his face, although both of them were wearing robes and hats, but the rain was too strong, and the clothes inside were almost soaked.

"It's nice to find this place." Zhou Xingyu shook his head.

The two took off their robes and hats, and were about to take off their clothes, when there was a knock on the door, the two stopped moving, Wang Ye stepped forward, and saw the old woman reappear at the door, with a basket on the ground.

"Here's some charcoal, you can use it to keep warm, to get out of the cold, and remember to open the doors and windows a little at night."

After the old woman finished speaking, she didn't wait for Wang Ye to speak and turned around and left.

Wang Ye bowed to the old woman and said, "Thank you, old lady." ”

Seeing the old woman walking away, Wang Ye lowered his body and carried the basket on the ground into the house.

Zhou Xingyu stepped forward and checked it, then nodded at Wang Ye and said, "Brother Ye, these two things are fine, they are ordinary charcoal and charcoal basins." ”

Hearing Zhou Xingyu's words, Wang Ye sighed: "This time I really met a good family. ”

The two of them worked together, and soon lit a charcoal fire in the house, took off the wet clothes on their bodies and put them on the fire to dry, and the two changed into dry clothes wrapped in oiled paper in the package.

"I'll be in charge of the first half of the night tonight, Brother Ye, you can sleep first."

Wang Ye casually put a piece of charcoal into the brazier, nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, you call me in the second half of the night." ”

Since that day, I went to Huichun Valley to inform Zhou Xingyu that the two of them set off overnight that day, at this time it has been half a month, the two of them hurried and hurried, and finally came to the territory of Xuanzhou, the distance of two or three months was shortened to half a month, even if the martial arts cultivation of the two of them reached more than 100, they still couldn't stand it, so they just took this opportunity to repair.

Wang Ye came to the bed and lay down, there was Zhou Xingyu keeping vigil, he quickly fell asleep, and there was a snoring sound in the room.

Zhou Xingyu came to the window, stretched out his hand and touched the windowsill, looking at the dust in his hands, he frowned slightly, and then sat down again, staring at the outside tightly.

The next day, when Zhou Xingyu woke up, Wang Ye had already fallen asleep against the wall. Zhou Xingyu didn't say much, and talked about the clothes that dried last night, and then woke up Wang Ye, who was asleep.

I thought something bad was going to happen, but I had a good night's dream, and it seems that I was thinking too much.

The two of them came to the house and walked to the backyard, and were about to thank the owner of the manor and give them the money for last night's stay, when they were suddenly shocked by the scene in front of them.

There was no one in the back, only two huge Nanmu coffins and an ordinary coffin of average material next to it.

Above the coffin, on a portrait, a good-looking man and a woman snuggled together, and below was an old woman with a wrinkled face, looking at the two gently.

It wasn't until this moment that the two realized that the old woman who entertained them last night was not a person at all.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but get goosebumps.

But fortunately, the two of them are no longer young children who have just entered the rivers and lakes, and they have even seen zombies that are immortal and live on blood, so they will not be frightened by the battle in front of them.

In the end, the two respectfully put three bunches of incense in the incense burner, bowed a few times, and left a silver ingot, and then walked towards the outside of the Zhuangzi.

When the two of them came to the door, they looked up at the plaque on the door, on which a black ribbon hung and floated with the breeze.

It was too dark last night for neither of them to notice, but now that they think about it, they finally understand why the old woman has been waiting for so long.

Yang people break into the yin house without knowing it, how can the old man not be puzzled.

Fortunately, the owner of this house treats people and things quite well, which avoids disputes between the two parties.

The horses were found in the bamboo forest in front of the door, and the two left and came to the official road from the new.
