Eating is always the eternal theme of people!

Whether you are a hermit master who sucks wind and drinks dew and absorbs the essence of day and night, or a beautiful woman in the city who is ethereal and unstained with fireworks...... As long as you are still human, you will naturally always have to eat.

Although the sword god is called a god by the world, it is just an honorific title, and in the final analysis, he is still a person. Therefore, in the face of Tang En's invitation, the sword god Wu Ding did not hesitate, nodded calmly, and said hello directly.

As a result, smoke rose from the kitchen of the secret agency......

......

For a moment, the hall was not too far away, with a brown wooden table, and the two of them sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little dull. The dishes in front of him are steaming, three dishes and one soup, very simple, it is a home-cooked dish that often appears on the table of ordinary citizens, and it is accompanied by two bowls of white rice, and that's it.

Slightly adjusted his sitting posture, Tang En's expression was extremely calm, and there were a few polite smiles on the corners of his mouth, and the owner's demeanor was undoubtedly displayed. But in my heart, I am inevitably a little apprehensive......

To be honest, Don En really didn't think that one day he would eat at the same table with the Sword God. Although it was true that he took the initiative to invite it before, it was just a polite remark in Philip's face. Who would have thought that the other party would actually nod and agree......

For a moment, Don En had a lot of thoughts. This is a sword god, isn't it too simple for me to entertain food? This table seems to be a little greasy. That, do you need to find two chicks to come over and help out......

Of course, in all his thoughts, Tang En was the only one who didn't consider whether the Sword God's move was a signal of goodwill. Originally, not to mention the bad news he got from Philip, just to say that he had just beaten up a proud disciple, which is not something that can be bought with a meal......

Thinking of this, and then looking at Wu Ding's fixed gaze, Tang En unconsciously adjusted his sitting posture again. The dagger in the sleeve trembled slightly, ensuring that it was instantly hit at any time.

Immediately, the big eyes stared, and the atmosphere became more and more calm and stiff...... Half-ringing, just when Tang En's temples were slightly wet, Wu Ding looked at the hot rice wipe and frowned slightly: "Don't eat?"

"Huh?" After being stunned, Tang En came back to his senses, squeezed out a smile, and hurriedly waved his hand to invite. "How could it be...... Please, please, it's all some northern home cooking, see it. Well, it may be slightly heavier than the southern cuisine, so please don't dislike it. ”

"It doesn't matter. Shake your head casually. Wooding directly picked up the knife and fork and buried his head in eating.

The arm froze in mid-air. I was stunned. Tang En suddenly remembered that in the customs and etiquette of the other world, there is a rule that when going to someone else's house as a guest, if the host's house is not invited, the guest cannot use the knife and fork first...... Nima! Because of this, you keep staring at me for a long time? Wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with great pressure, and Tang En felt ridiculous for a while.

OK. The crunch of knives and forks touching the dishes gradually eased the stiff atmosphere in the side hall. The taste of northern cuisine is indeed heavier, and some things similar to the modern peppercorns are basically essential seasonings in the north. It didn't take long. Wooding's forehead under gray hair was faintly showing sweat stains. Seeing this, Don handed over the napkin, and Woodin nodded and took it casually, and the tension between the two of them was almost gone......

After a moment, he put down his knife and fork, "Ah...... I haven't tasted authentic northern food for many years, and now I'm really a little unaccustomed to it. The napkin wiped the sweat on the side of his nose, and Woodin said casually.

"I'm sorry, I was negligent. Don nodded apologetically, and then asked tentatively, "Why don't you drink some wine to suppress it?"

"Wine?" Woodin's eyes lit up when he heard this, like a child who had gotten a toy he had wanted for a long time. But at this moment, on the side outside the "cough cough ......" hall, Hai Tower, who was standing next to the door, suddenly stretched out his fist and coughed twice, as if he was dissatisfied.

Wu Ding's shoulders slumped, and he waved his hand in anticipation: "Forget it, let's have tea." ”

"Good. Don nodded, first waving his hand to the members of the secret agency guarding the door, then glancing at the Sea Tower, before turning around. Don't drink alcohol? It's because of your body......

The food on the table was taken down, and soon two fragrant light teas were brought back to the table. Unlike the meal, the tea is the best tea, and it is brought to Don by Alan every time he comes over.

During this time, the two also talked a few words, but most of them were scene, Woodin thanked Don for his hospitality, and Don said that it should be, and then talked about Philip and so on...... until

Sipping the tea, Wu Ding's white eyebrows moved slightly, closed his eyes and savored it, nodded, gently put down the teacup, and made a soft "knock". Don straightened his back slightly, knowing that the main drama was coming.

Unexpectedly, Wu Ding bowed and said solemnly: "The little apprentice is reckless, and there is no way to teach, thank Your Excellency for showing mercy to the knife just now." ”

Don did keep his hand just now, otherwise it would not be Wensling's hand bone that would have been shattered, but the throat bone. Of course, Don En also had no choice but to do it after seeing Wooding. Of course, Woodin is also clear about this.

However, there are many masters in this world who regard all beings as ants and don't like to be reasonable. Tang Enyuan didn't expect to impress Wu Ding's kindness with this, and he didn't want this Wu Ding to be a sword god, so instead of holding Tang En's spicy hands accountable, he thanked him first, which surprised him......

"Huh?" After a moment's pause, Don came back to his senses, looked up and snorted, "This...... It's nothing. I have always loved peace and persuaded people with virtue, hehe......"

Wooding also chuckled, and revealed the topic, without commenting on Don's words of putting gold on his face, and said calmly: "I have heard all kinds of rumors about Your Excellency in Brando, and I was a little curious at that time. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I'm even more confused......"

Tang En did not respond to this word immediately, but waved his hand and said, "You are too polite, I really can't afford your lordship's plain title. I call Philip and I friends, and since you are Philip's grandfather, you can call me Don, Don, or whatever......"

This is indeed Don's sincere mention. Because at least from the current point of view, the sword god Wu Ding did not show his hatred for killing him quickly, but was quite peaceful and polite, as if he was treated as a person of the same level. And Don's temper is like this, to put it mildly, that is, you respect me by a foot, I respect you by a foot! You press me by an inch...... Well, then don't blame me for calling you immortal!

"With your current strength, you are worthy of your Excellency. But since you don't want to ......," Wooding didn't dwell on it. nodded: "Then call it Xiao Tang, it sounds kinder." ”

Don and Sugar ...... Well, you might as well call it good. And this is Your Excellency admitted by the Sword God himself, what a face it is to say......

I touched my nose and complained about it. But since this title was mentioned by Tang En himself, he had to bow his head now: "Well, if you have any doubts, just ask, I ......" paused, rolled his eyes, "I can say." I'll say it all. ”

Wu Ding smiled, but he didn't have any objections to Tang En's reservation, and asked, "What are you cultivating ...... Is it vindictive?"

I ...... Tang En's heart suddenly shook when he heard this, and he almost didn't jump on the spot. Of course, what he cultivates is not fighting qi, but blood qi. But flesh is about the killer system. is his biggest secret. Could it be that this is all seen by Woodin?

Although there were thousands of waves in his heart in an instant, Tang En still looked calm on the surface. Then it turned into an inexplicable puzzled look...... After calming down. Don still didn't believe Wooding could see his secret, so he asked blankly, "Of course, what's wrong?"

After getting the answer, Wu Ding didn't have any special expression, and shook his head slightly: "It's nothing...... It's just that I can't see your cultivation realm. ”

Suddenly, Don knew what the problem was. The Otherworldly Douqi trait is domineering. It's hard to hide. Therefore, in the eyes of high-level martial artists, the strength realm of low-level martial artists is almost clear at a glance. But Tang En is different, he cultivates blood qi, so Wu Ding can be regarded as having the realm of a martial saint. I don't want to see his strength level.

"Oh, maybe it's because of the assassin profession, but I have a little bit of a knack for hidden strength. With a wave of his hand, Tang En casually took this question, and then his mind turned to lightning, and he immediately changed the topic, "By the way, you are not the first person to have doubts about my strength realm...... Well, I once went to the Northern Wilderness, and in the Imperial City Library, I met an old man from the Northern Wilderness named Bamutu. He also had this doubt, and because of this, he almost mistook me for your old disciple, hehe......"

Wu Ding raised his eyebrows: "Bamutu, have you seen him?"

"Yes, he said that you are also good at condensing and hiding your fighting spirit. Tang En secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that under the poisonous tongue of the old butler, his ability to change the topic was already superb. But......

Wu Ding nodded, looking at Tang En's gaze a little complicated: "It seems that you really know the storage of the knots in your body." ”

"En......" Don blinked, his expression was still habitually calm, but his heart was very inexplicable, what is that? Is it related to the topic of our chat...... Forget it, no matter, since he's already found a reason for me, that's great......

Wooding did indeed find a reason for Donne. You must know that the reason why he doesn't care so much about not being able to accurately see Tang En's strength realm is because he already has a preconceived answer in his heart - this Tang En, like himself, knows that the knots in his body can store hidden fighting energy, so it is normal not to see the strength realm.

And later, Don En's unsurprised expression, as well as the words that he and Wu Ding were equally good at hiding their fighting spirit, undoubtedly made Wu Ding even more convinced of this judgment!

But in reality, Don is really just pretending, and changing the subject......

......

Thinking that he had confirmed something, Wooding took a sip of tea from his teacup, and when he put it down, the complicated meaning in his eyes before was all indifferent. Then he raised his hand and took out a few pieces of tissue paper from his sleeve, put them on the table, and pushed them over.

Looking up, he asked calmly, "This is what you researched?"

Tang En subconsciously lowered his head and swept his eyes, his gaze suddenly froze, and the chaotic lines like ghostly drawings on the paper were all too familiar to him, because this was the Dou Qi circulation channel that he had drawn with his own hands, but somehow it got into the hands of the Sword God......

But after thinking about it, Tang En was relieved again. With the energy of the Sword God, as long as he noticed the turmoil in the north and found out the root cause of this madness of the martial artist, it would naturally be a breeze.

"Oh, this......" At this point, the words were sudden. The pause was brief, not even a second, and there was no sense of disobedience. Because Don was reaching out to pick up the teacup on the side and bringing it to his lips.

Of course, this was not due to his sudden thirst, but somehow, just now, the alarm bell in Tang En's heart shook slightly, and he felt the slightest murderous intent...... There are only two people in the side hall, so the source of this killing intent can naturally only be Wu Ding with a calm expression!

What I want to say is that this killing intent is very faint, very faint, and almost imperceptible. It's just a slight movement of the mind, if it's another person sitting here. Even if the strength is equal to Woodin, it is absolutely impossible to detect. But Tang En is different, under the training of the killer system and the old butler, as long as the killing intent is aimed at him, even if it is slight, it can be keenly perceived. What's more, Tang En was already in a state of extreme vigilance at this time......

But...... Lips touch the rim of the teacup, and Don chuckles at Wooding. Why did Woodin suddenly have murderous intent towards himself? There's a problem with that question -- this is something you researched?

Yes or no...... Is there any difference?

The finest tea brewed and swirled in Don's mouth, losing its original fragrance and becoming extremely bitter. Mind to ...... Don naturally put down the teacup. Shaking his head: "No." ”

The sword god is not an ordinary person, and when he has a murderous intent, any tricky answer is actually just an admission of change of direction, and he is just a cocoon to bind himself. And between yes and no. No, the risk is naturally smaller.

Of course, it's just relatively small. As a matter of fact. This is still an out-and-out sentence of life and death!

The words fell. Don calmly looked at Wu Ding, his left hand was placed under the table without a trace, the dagger in his sleeve trembled slightly, and he was ready to wait.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze suddenly at this moment, suffocating and cold. Wooding squinted his cloudy old eyes, not letting go of any trace of the slightest expression on Donn's face. After a few breaths, he said noncommittally, "Oh?"

Don didn't see it, and said to himself: "This was given to me by a painter friend on his deathbed. ”

"Painter?" Wooding was surprised to know that he had already inquired about the internal passage when he came. If Tang En answered the news circulating in the market, that is, from the Shanhai City Auction House, then Wu Ding would never believe it. Because his old friend spent more than 100 years digging through all the ancient and modern classics in order to study this object. If there really was such a secret book of mental methods, it was impossible for him not to know it......

"yes, a down-and-out painter. Not perceiving any fluctuations in killing intent, Tang En couldn't help but settle down, and immediately told the story of the ghost face......

There's nothing to hide, Tang En can't take this matter on himself, he still understands the truth of his guilt, so he can only push it to Ghost Face. And it's not all a lie, the Dou Qi circulation channel was discovered by Ghost Face first, and Tang En just took this opportunity to complete the follow-up work. Moreover, Ghost Face is already dead, and the dead naturally can't testify, so Don En is very relieved......

Half-ringing, as Don roughly recounted the contents of Ghostface's diary. "I see...... Wooding was the first to retract his gaze, regretful, regretful, and happy...... All kinds of complicated feelings flashed away from his face, and he nodded and sighed lightly: "Also, Xiao Tang, you are still young, even if you are a true genius, it is impossible for you to come into contact with this field...... It's me who is too careful. ”

It's not that Wooding didn't have a scheming mind to believe Don's words so lightly. It's that this can't be concealed at all, Laiyan City, the identity of the ghost face, the diary, etc., the details of these locations can be easily verified, and there is no possibility of lying at all.

However, Tang En pouted without a trace when he heard this, "Boom, disdain me, will the master sue you if he has a full set of fighting qi circulation channels......

Wu Ding naturally didn't know what Tang En was thinking, and his expression was a little emotional: "It's a pity...... Presumably you also know the significance of these internal circulation channels for the Dou Qi Martial Dao. If someone can fully grasp the rules, they will definitely have a transformative impact on the martial arts in this world. At that time, if you want to come to the Martial Saint Realm, it will no longer be the pinnacle of martial arts, and magicians will no longer be able to suppress martial artists of the same level......"

After a pause, he shook his head slightly, "But that's fine, if you really start studying this Dou Qi circulation channel, I can only choose to kill you now." ”

Sure enough...... Tang En's heart sank when he heard this, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and he was throbbing. Of course, on the surface, he still made a look of shock and surprise: "Uh...... Why?"

Wooding was frank: "Because it's too dangerous! You should know that although this internal circulation channel has an extremely attractive prospect, at the moment, it is just an empty dream." This is not a path that can be figured out in one generation or several generations. You only have to take out a few half-finished products now, and in this short period of time, you can make countless martial artists crazy. But who knows if they won't lose their minds and die for no reason, like that down-and-out painter?"

This is also the problem, in the eyes of Wooding, who cares about Bran, the fighting qi circulation channel in Don's hand is not only a thing of change, but also the source of troubled times.

The key to this is because this passage is incomplete, just a half-finished product with unknown dangers. And it is impossible for Tang En to tell the news that he has mastered the complete passage, in fact, the passage that those martial artists outside are indeed problematic now, as long as Tang En is willing, he can create countless madmen in the world in an instant......

This is an irreconcilable issue, and it is bound to face certain choices.

"Understood. Don nodded, narrowed his narrow eyes, and looked at Wooding calmly, "What do you mean by ...... old?"

"Any martial arts in my sect, you can choose three copies at will. But...... You must hand over all the internal Dou Qi channels in your hands. Wooding's tone was equally calm, calm and categorical, unmoving!

Tang En was silent when he heard this, and raised his head: "What if I don't pay it?"
