"So you went around the mountains for half a day yesterday and got lost?"

The tavern in the morning was deserted, there was no one, Wu Duan was holding a plate of side dishes in his hand and putting it on the table, and Bai Benwei was eating with relish, because the golden mirror yesterday should be worth a lot of money, so Wu Duan didn't care about the cost of this meal.

looked at Bai Benwei, at this time he had already changed into a suit, his hair was neatly combed, the beard on his face was also clean, and he was dressed in a light blue robe, not to mention, but he looked polite, and he really looked like a scholar at a glance.

"Don't mention it, it was almost dark when I was about to go down the mountain yesterday, and I stepped on the air halfway, fortunately, I have excellent physical fitness, but the surrounding is densely packed with trees, I went around all night to touch the town, so I didn't hurry up and clean up and came to find the little brother."

Bai Benwei's words made Wu Duan speechless for a while, just this look is still traveling all over the world, and it is a great fate to live until now.

"After all, why did you come to Qingtian Town?"

This Bai Benwei didn't look burly, but he dared to wander alone in the deep mountains, Wu Duan was really curious about the purpose of his coming here.

"Ah, this, how do you say this, it's just some trivialities." Bai Benwei didn't make it clear.

"Mr. Bai, the spiritual energy on the mountain in Qingtian Town is abundant, basically everyone knows this situation, and there are countless outsiders who come to the town every day, and I have heard a lot of people who want to try their luck in this tavern come all the way to hunt for treasures, could it be that you are too..."Wu Duan raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice.

"I see, the little brother is also well-informed, and Bai is abrupt." Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Bai Benwei continued: "What the little brother said is good, but Bai Mou is not here to hunt for treasure, but to find a legendary place called Louwailou. ”

"Outside the building?!" Zhang Da had this name in the two sentences he said to Wu Duan the day before yesterday, but he didn't expect that there really would be such a place.

"I've heard of it, but does this place really exist?" Wu Duan asked.

"Legend has it that there was a sacred place called Louwailou, although the name sounds like a building, but it is actually a luxurious palace, this palace is built by the mountain, the materials are extremely luxurious, all the gold and stone jade bricks and tiles, and there are countless precious treasures in it. It's just that there was a sudden day when the sky changed, the earthquake shook the mountain in an instant, and the palace was buried in the ground. ”

While speaking, Bai Benwei kept looking at the expression on Wu Duan's face, but Wu Duan was obviously confused.

"After talking about it for so long, what do you call the little brother?" Bai Benwei asked.

"Oh, me, my name is Wu Duan."

"It turned out to be Brother Ng." Bai Benwei arched his hand and continued to ask, "Brother Wu was born here, haven't you heard of this?" ”

"No, I've basically walked all the roads on the mountain, but I've never found the building you mentioned."

"The building outside the building is a place of legends, if it can be easily discovered, it is not a legend."

"Brother Bai, you have been walking on the continent for so many years, have you ever heard of a plant called Huangyan Grass?" Wu Duan thought that Bai Benwei was well-informed, and he might probably know clues about Huangyan Cao.

"Huang Yancao? I seem to have heard that this plant grows in extremely hot places, I wonder what Brother Wu wants to do with this thing? ”

Wu Duan was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, the wine in my tavern is brewed by my uncle, and he has recently developed a new formula, but this thing is missing in the formula." ”

Bai Benwei touched his chin, as if he had thought of something, and continued: "It is rumored that the outer building of the building is buried underground, and the surrounding environment is extremely dangerous, and there are many ground fires spraying out from the cracks, maybe this thing can be found in the outer building of that building. ”

I finally have a clue, but listen to Bai Benwei's meaning, the building outside the building is dangerous, and it seems that this phoenix grass is not easy to obtain.

"Brother Wu, you and I are destined, and you happen to be locals, why don't you and I work together to find clues to this outer building?"

As I just said, the mountains of Qingtian Town are overgrown with trees, and if you are not careful, you will get lost, so many outsiders come to Qingtian Town, most of them are looking for locals to lead the way, and over time, an industry has slowly formed.

"Hahaha, Wu boy, I didn't see you yesterday, I didn't miss you, Brother Zhang, and me!"

Before Wu Duan could answer Bai Benwei's words, a voice came from outside the door, and he pushed the door in, only to see Zhang Da walking in with a smile.

Zhang Da looked around the hall and found that Wu Duan was talking to someone, and after Bai Benwei heard the voice, he also turned his head, and when the two looked at each other, their eyes suddenly widened, and the words sounded at the same time.

"Why are you here!"

Zhang Da took a few steps closer and said in an unkind tone to Bai Benwei: "I asked you first, what are you doing here?" ”

Not to be outdone, Bai Benwei also replied in a tough tone: "Can't you see that I'm chatting with my friends with your eyes wide open." ”

Hearing Bai Benwei's words, Zhang Da looked at the two people in front of the table and said, "You are friends?" ”

"Can you handle it?" After a pause, Bai Benwei also glanced at the two of them, and also asked, "You know each other?" ”

"Humph! The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, I can't control you, can you control me? Zhang Da snorted coldly.

Seeing the two of them sandwiched themselves in the middle, Wu Duan, who was confused, stretched out his hand and interrupted the two.

"Wait a minute, you two, have you met?"

"I don't know."

"I haven't seen it."

Both seemed to disdain each other, their heads tilted to the side at the same time.

"Hey, they're all guests, Brother Zhang hasn't eaten yet, wait for me to prepare a few dishes." Although he didn't know why the two of them were as red as enemies when they met, Wu Duan hurriedly pushed Zhang Da to another table in order not to aggravate the conflict between the two, and then walked to the back kitchen.

In the hall, Zhang Da took a teacup casually, and said while pouring tea: "It seems that someone was beaten lightly yesterday, otherwise he is still bouncing here today." ”

Bai Benwei naturally knew that he was saying this to himself, so he turned his head and sneered: "Don't scold Huai there, your kick is not light, and it is beyond my expectation that I can stand up today." ”

"Don't be complacent, you kid, or go out and come back for a few more rounds." Zhang Da stood up and motioned to go out.

"Just go, but don't even think about running this time." Bai Benwei slapped the table hard.

At this time, Wu Duan walked out with side dishes, saw the two people who were tense, and hurriedly put the plate on the table.

"Why are the two of you making a big fuss, the small shop can't stand it."

Wu Duan persuaded the two with a bitter face, and the two also snorted coldly, sat down, and ignored each other.

"Wu Duan, let me tell you, this guy is not a good person, you don't have much to do with him." Zhang Da pulled Wu Duan and said.

"Hmph, it's not a good person who speaks ill of people behind his back, Brother Wu, I advise you not to listen to this old liar, lest your tavern be swept away by someone."

"You fart! Why didn't I strangle you to death in the first place, and it saved you from making a mistake in front of my eyes. Zhang Da glared angrily and said fiercely.

"You have that ability, with a brother like you, I'm embarrassed to say it."

"Wait, you said he was your brother, but the surnames of the two of you..."Wu Duan understood between the lines that the two were originally brothers, but the surnames of the two were different, and he couldn't help asking.

"Hmph, mouthy." Zhang Da said dissatisfiedly to Bai Benwei, and then said: "He is indeed my unassuming brother, but I have long stopped associating with him, and I have nothing to do with him." ”

"Bai Lishan, you are really capable, I don't know what my father will do under the Nine Springs..."

"Don't mention him to me!" As if angered by Bai Benwei's words, Zhang Da raised his hand to interrupt Bai Benwei's words.

"Don't eat it, unappetizing fellow." Zhang Da stood up and turned to leave.

"As if I would like to see you." Bai Benwei also stood up and walked to the door.

Looking at the current situation, Wu Duan also shouted helplessly to the two: "Two big brothers, dissipate your anger, peace is precious!" ”

Bai Benwei turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Wu can't help it, I originally wanted to talk to you about it, but such an incident happened today, you think about the suggestion I just made, and I will find a chance to talk to you in detail." ”

When Zhang Da heard this, he paused for a moment, looked at the two thoughtfully, but didn't say anything and continued to walk forward.

Coincidentally, just because Zhang Da paused just now, he and Bai Benwei walked to the door at the same time, but the red-eyed two didn't let anyone, and finally had to squeeze out with each other's shoulders.

As soon as they walked out of the door, the two ran into Uncle Bing, Zhang Da was angry, he didn't communicate too much with Uncle Bing, he just nodded at Uncle Bing casually, and when Bai Benwei passed by Uncle Bing, he turned his head meaningfully and took a second look.

"What's going on with these two people?" When Uncle Bing met the two, he felt that the atmosphere between them was not right, and asked Wu Duan after entering the door.

"How do I know, the first in the morning came to quarrel." Wu Duan spread his hands and said.

Ignoring what happened just now, Wu Duan said excitedly to Uncle Bing: "By the way, Uncle Bing, I know where Huang Yancao is?" ”

"Huang Yancao? Your kid has been mysterious for the past two days, so it's not just for this matter. ”

"It's got to be you." Wu Duan smiled and continued: "I can't buy the Phoenix Flame Grass, but I got a clue that the Phoenix Flame Grass may grow in the mountains behind it, and there is a place called Louwailou. ”

As soon as Wu Duan's words fell, Uncle Bing suddenly froze and stopped the movements in his hand, but Wu Duan didn't seem to notice the change, and continued: "But no one has ever seen Louwailou, but I heard that this place is very dangerous, by the way, Uncle Bing, have you heard of it?" ”

Uncle Bing didn't answer Wu Duan's words, but asked rhetorically, "Who are you listening to about this place?" ”

"No, it's the one who went out with Zhang Da just now." Wu Duan raised his head in the direction of the door.

"You are not allowed to go to that place, and you should not look for Huang Yancao." Uncle Bing said coldly.

On weekdays, Uncle Bing has a kind attitude, and he has never spoken to Wu Duan so strongly, and Wu Duan is also confused.

"Why, isn't the Phoenix Flame Grass very important to you? And besides..."

Uncle Bing waved his hand, interrupted Wu Duan's words, and said: "If you can't say it, it's not allowed, I promised your parents to take care of you, can't you live in peace and stay in the tavern honestly!" ”

The word "parents" is very far away from Wu Duan, very unfamiliar, he was still a child, and was said by children of the same age to be a weird person without a father, he didn't understand what it meant at the time, but as time went by, he gradually understood the meaning of the word "parents", whenever he asked Uncle Bing about his parents, but he was always perfunctory by Uncle Bing's sentence "I am your father".

Perhaps Uncle Bing's words touched the softness of his heart, Wu Duan's emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly exploded, his eyes gradually moistened, and he said to Uncle Bing: "If you promised them to take care of me, you shouldn't let me stay in this town for the rest of my life!" I shouldn't have told me about them! I shouldn't let the so-called parents only exist in my imagination! ”

After saying that, Wu Duan turned his head and ran out of the tavern, leaving only Uncle Bing in the hall, hearing Wu Duan's words, Uncle Bing lowered his head and instantly wilted, standing there motionless, as if he was a few years older.

After a long time, Uncle Bing raised his head, sighed, wiped away a few tears from the corners of his eyes, and then raised his head to look at the north, as if to someone, and said in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "Am I doing this right?" ”

......

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

The sun was setting in the west, Zhang Da was angry in the morning and didn't read anymore, at this time he was sitting at the table in his residence drinking tea, and his face was also churning and changing when he had something in his heart.

A breeze blew, the bamboo leaves in the courtyard trembled slightly, Zhang Da raised his eyes, and saw a figure appear in the middle of the courtyard at some point.

"What are you doing here?" After seeing the comer, Zhang Da's tone was not good.

"Big brother, it's been so long, don't quarrel between you and me about it, I have something to find you." Bai Benwei walked to the table and pulled a chair and sat down.

"Hmph, didn't I make it clear yesterday, don't even think about returning to the gods." Zhang Da said coldly.

"Big brother, you are still so paranoid, the number of Station Zero has already become a thing of the past with that incident, why do you still refuse to go back to the division with me."

"That's what you guys think! If the matter doesn't come to light, let Station Zero carry that name, I can't do this kind of thing! ”

"Ugh." Bai Benwei sighed, and then took out a booklet from his body, the booklet was obviously a few years old, and the surface seemed to be smoked, with a small part of burnt black.

"After that incident, there was a fire at Station Zero, and people thought it was a fire to hide incriminating evidence, and I found this brochure in the ruins, you see." With that, Bai Benwei handed the booklet to Zhang Da.

Zhang Da took it, opened the booklet, and after reading its contents, his face changed greatly.

"Like you, I've been investigating since the incident, and it wasn't until I discovered this booklet some time ago that I found out that there was something strange about it. This booklet is a secret disk for Station Zero to pass the secret order, which states that Station Zero was ordered to go to the place, not a private inquiry in the conviction book, the two statements are very different, but unfortunately the key text on the secret disk was burned, and there is no way to use it as evidence, but I hope this is useful to you. ”

"How do you... Why didn't you say it earlier. Zhang Da was indeed moved, and he couldn't help but blame himself a little when he thought of his misunderstanding of his younger brother for so many years.

"I want to say, if you come up and do it with me, what can I do!" Bai Benwei spread his hands and said helplessly.

"But I'm here this time, not just because of this." didn't let Zhang Da say sorry again, Bai Benwei said with a straight face.

"The division has found traces of the disaster, and there is a hidden stronghold in Qingtian Town, and it is very likely to be in the outer building of that building."

"I didn't expect the disaster to be right under my nose, it seems that I'm really old." Zhang Da sighed and said after hearing this.

It is rumored that the Demon Emperor who brought a shocking catastrophe thousands of years ago has a group of forces composed of various monsters under his command, and after the Demon Emperor was sealed by the Heavenly Venerable, this group of monsters did not disappear with it, but were hidden in various places in the continent. For thousands of years, humans have struggled with monsters, and these monsters have been renamed Calamity, meaning hoodoo that brings disaster.

Zhang Da didn't blame him for not finding the traces of the disaster, the disaster is extremely good at hiding his whereabouts, and it is basically difficult to find without some special means.

"On top of that, I made an amazing discovery on this trip." Bai Benwei said mysteriously, and his voice was lowered a few times.

Zhang Da didn't know why, so he didn't answer.

"Do you remember the prophecy of the Heavenly Machine Mansion?"

“！”

If the information of the calamity didn't make any waves in Zhang Da's state of mind, then Bai Benwei's words just now were like a boulder thrown into the water, stirring up layers of waves.

"I think you remember, well, it seems to be some kind of dragon sinking into the sea, and the spiritual sound is absolutely stringy... What's next? ”

"The Son can save the world or turn the world upside down."
