"What, do you have anything else to do in Feiyun District?" Zhao Xianglin asked.

"Yes. I got lost with a few friends there, and I wanted to go back and look for clues. "Xiao Tian Dao.

"I really admire you, it's only been so long since you ascended to the upper realm, and you've made so many friends. ”

Xiao Tianhe smiled faintly: "You don't know how difficult it is for the Feiyun District's lower-level cultivator evaluation competition this time, thanks to the care of those friends, I won't die." I had made an appointment to reunite, but after only one night, I lost contact with them, and I heard that one of them seemed to have been taken captive. I wanted to ask you to help me inquire about it, but I never had a chance to say it. ”

"Feiyun District is too far away from here, and my network is not wide enough to reach that point. Zhao Xianglin smiled self-deprecatingly, "I've been holding back in the Eight Kings Camp, but in fact, I don't have any connections." ”

"After returning to Feiyun District, where should I start? I also asked the Feiyun City Lord for help on this matter, but to no avail. Xiao Tianhe was very helpless, he didn't have any background of his own background, and of course he was not qualified to ask the city lord to contribute to his private affairs.

Zhao Xianglin thought for a moment, and suddenly tapped the table: "Hey, you can ask the master who saved you! With his strength, it shouldn't be difficult to find out a person's whereabouts, right?"

"Speaking of which, this is one of my many plans, the master has already saved me twice, but I still don't know who she is and why she wants to save me. All I know is that she's a woman. ”

"Woman, since you haven't seen her, have you ever heard her speak?"

Xiao Tianhe nodded: "When I was in the Zongpiao Realm, it was she Feishi who saved me and repelled the five generalissimos of the Lingwei Emperor and the Marshal Liang Feilian of the Hualin Lord. ”

Zhao Xianglin gasped in shock: "Drunk the six marshals, then how powerful should she be!"

"That's exactly what I wanted to figure out. ”

"But it's nothing to just fly rocks to save people. How could the six generalissimos be frightened by this little carving insect skill?" Zhao Xianglin asked curiously.

Xiao Tianhe recalled: "At that time, she said: 'Liang Feilian! Don't you remember who I am? Have you forgotten the losses you suffered with Yun Pingping, Zhu Wenying, and Huang Xuanshang?" ”

"Tsk, it seems that the marshals of Hualin Dajun have all been defeated by that master!"

"Maybe. Although I tried to figure this out, I always felt that there was no hope. As long as that master doesn't want us to find out, we won't find out. Xiao Tianhe raised his wine glass and took a sip.

Zhao Xianglin held her cheeks in her hands and looked at Xiao Tianhe with interest, unable to take her eyes off it.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Tianhe asked her.

"It seems that my younger brother is a good thing everywhere, why did the marshals treat you badly when you were in the Zongpiao Realm? You were deployed by Marshal Xin to the Eight Kings Camp, how did you reconcile later?"

"It's for those demon friends in the Meng Zhang realm. In fact, the six marshals were ordered to go to the Zongpiao Realm to eliminate the demons, but they recognized the wrong person and took Yan'er and the others as targets, and I was involved in it in a daze. Later, the misunderstanding was clarified, and Marshal Xin naturally would not pursue it again. ”

"I see. Zhao Xianglin asked again, "What other plans do you have, let's listen to them tonight! I can also help you with your staff officers." ”

"In addition to the two I just mentioned, I plan to look for my younger brother and sister. With their qualifications, they should also be in the Yuyu realm at this time. Also, I have to practice my sword and body skills. In addition, I have to help He Chongbao and them find the overseer Pei and their master. ”

"Find people, find things, look for this, find that, look for the past, you are really busy!" Zhao Xianglin said.

Xiao Tianhe smiled awkwardly: "No way, I am entrusted by others and should be loyal to others." Moreover, they are all kind and righteous to me, and I should do these things. ”

"But each of these things lacks clues, and it's not easy to find!" Zhao Xianglin sighed.

"Yes, and I can't just talk about those things of the demon clan and listen to others, otherwise, with my friendship with Marshal Xin, it is better to ask him about it than to grope for a needle in a haystack like this. ”

Zhao Xianglin pursed her lips and said sarcastically: "I want to advise you, don't trust others too easily." Although I have never seen that Marshal Xin, I always feel that he is a little strange when I listen to your description. With his identity, why do you take such good care of you, a one-yuan sword demon, even if you are the long-lost ascendant of the demon race, it will not be like this. Perhaps, he had another purpose......"

"I'm a one-yuan sword demon, what other purpose is it worth him to have? Sister Zhao, you're too worried. Xiao Tianhe didn't believe it, "But now that we're breaking away from the demon army, I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore." ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Xianglin nodded, "In that case, let's go and entrust the Elephant Gate!"

"What door?"

"The machine is like a door. The name is taken from 'a thousand machines', which is a special institution in the rivers and lakes, mainly to solve some difficult problems for others. If you have no clues, you can hang a commission at the machine door and attach a reward in advance, and those who have the ability to complete the commission can get most of the honorarium. Zhao Xianglin explained.

Xiao Tianhe was happy: "There is such a good organization? I have such a clueless commission, are they willing to accept it?"

"As long as you give money, you can entrust anything. It is as big as destroying the world, as small as trivial, and it will be accepted as ordered. But whether anyone is willing to accept the commission is not certain. As far as I know, a mandate is listed for a period of ten years. If no one is willing to accept your commission within ten years, it will be considered invalid, and all the honorarium will go to Jixiangmen. Zhao Xianglin said.

Xiao Tianhe still didn't believe it: "It's so big that it destroys the world? It's too exaggerated! If I want to hang a commission to assassinate the Lingwei Emperor, is this okay?"

Zhao Xianglin said with a smile: "Of course! The secrecy and fairness of the Jixiangmen are still obvious to all, you can completely hang a commission to assassinate the Lingwei Emperor, and even a commission to kill all the five emperors and five monarchs, no one will stop you." The amount of the honorarium is also up to you, but whether or not you want to take it is a question, and whether you can complete it if you accept it is also a question. ”

"What will happen if the assassination fails?" Xiao Tianhe asked with interest.

"If you fail the mission, half of the gratuity will be refunded to you. If it is successful, the machine elephant door and the person who accepts the commission will divide the account. Because of this

Some money transactions are calculated according to the share, so the machine elephant gate does not care whether the remuneration you pay in advance matches the difficulty of the entrustment. Even if you put up a minimum price - the commission of ten beads, let people destroy the world, and the machine elephant gate will accept it. Many people accumulate a lot of money by constantly completing various commissions. ”

"I see. Xiao Tianhe had to admire in his heart, the person who set up this institution was indeed a talent. "Then my search for my younger brother, my sister, and my lost friends will be settled. But are we going to go back to Feiyun City and put out the commission?"

"Not at all. There is a special communication method inside the machine door, and you can see the commissions issued by each place at any branch. If the geographical restrictions are too great, wouldn't the commissions such as searching for people and sending things for thousands of miles never be completed? I think that in the first place, I hung up a commission in the Eight Kings City and found my younger brother. Zhao Xianglin said, "So, in addition to the plans you mentioned, if there are any other things you don't want to do, can't do, or dare not do, you will also be hung up at that time, and you will not be short of money anyway." ”

"Oh, by the way, there's another thing that's not a 'thing', but you can't take it upon yourself, look at this. Xiao Tianhe took out the strange stone slab he got from Zhan Hongyue and handed it to Zhao Xianglin.

Zhao Xianglin took the slate and looked at it upside down for a long time, but she couldn't see the reason. "Where did you get that?" she asked.

"A friend. It was a relic of her late husband. When her first husband died, she only ordered her to keep her life, but she was an ordinary person, and she was powerless to take care of her when she was robbed by others, but fortunately she was rescued by me. In the end, she had to entrust it to me. Xiao Tianhe replied, "I've always been curious, trying to figure out what this thing is, but I can't go to the commission, don't you say?"

"Well, not really. Zhao Xianglin thought for a while, and said, "It's a little strange, if I were the deceased husband, knowing that this thing would be coveted, and knowing that my wife was not able to take care of it at all, I would tell my wife to let her throw it away or hide it somewhere, and never let her take it with me." ”

There is some truth to this.

Zhao Xianglin proposed again: "Those demon clans in the Meng Zhang Realm have lived for a long time, and their knowledge must be more extensive, have you ever asked them?"

"Hey, good idea. So, Xiao Tianhe entered the Mengzhang realm with the slate, and summoned He Chongbao, Li Cuiyan, and Du Huairou to the Eight Desolations Hall to display the slate.

It's a pity that even these demon clans don't know what this stone slab is, and Xiao Tianhe can't help but be a little disappointed.

"Miss Li, they have been in the Nether Realm, and a few of us have lived in the Zongpiao Realm for a long time, if this stone slab is something that has only appeared in recent years, then we will naturally not know. He Chongbao reminded.

"Hmm......" Xiao Tianhe thought thoughtfully. He regretted it a little, he should have taken out the slate and let Lu Shangwen take a look. With his experience, he should know this thing.

Suddenly, a loud neighing sound interrupted Xiao Tianhe's thoughts, and when he looked back, a big black horse was limping towards the Eight Desolation Palace.

"Xiao Hei!" Xiao Tianhe shouted in surprise. This dark horse, which was accidentally purchased in Overwatch City, has been very well-behaved since entering the Meng Zhang realm, either resting on his stomach on the grass or walking by the river, running happily around several halls at most twice. This time it was rare to see a rush in the past.

"Xiao Hei, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Tianhe touched its face affectionately. Normally, Xiao Hei should have rubbed Xiao Tianhe's palm with his head with a snort at this time, but now it was staring at the stone slab tightly.

"Have you seen this slate?" Xiao Tianhe's question was a little incredible, what can a horse know?

Xiao Hei turned his head and bit Xiao Tianhe's sleeve, pulled it straight to his side, and squatted down his front knee, as if he wanted Xiao Tianhe to ride on his back. But when Xiao Tianhe turned over and got on the horse for some reason, Xiao Hei refused to let go of his sleeves, and kept shaking his head.

"Looking at its meaning, it seems to let you release it out of the Meng Zhang realm. Li Cuiyan said, "It must be trying to carry you somewhere." ”

"But now we're not in the wilderness, we're in the inn. Xiao Tianhe gently stroked Xiao Hei's neck and comforted him softly, "You don't have to be impatient for a while, and when it dawns tomorrow, I'll put you outside." ”

Xiao Hei is worthy of being a horse with human nature, as if he understood, he quietly bowed down, knelt beside the slate, and looked at the slate intently.

"How can a horse know that this is the Mengzhang realm and not the outside world?" With the same doubts, Xiao Tianhe and Zhao Xianglin left the Mengzhang realm. Zhao Xianglin said with a smile: "It seems that this is not a 'thing', and it must be mentioned before other plans!"

Xiao Tianhe nodded: "Let's see where Xiao Hei wants to take us." ”

In the slightly apprehensive wait of the two, the light of dawn finally sprinkled the entire land. Xiao Tianhe hurriedly checked out the inn, first went to the military affairs office to pay the military fee for the two of them, and then went all the way out of the city. walked more than ten miles before releasing Xiao Hei.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Hei came out, he motioned for Xiao Tianhe to get on the horse. The saddle groove was wide enough to seat two people, but before they could sit down, Blackie spread his hooves and galloped northeast.

Because Xiao Hei ran unexpectedly, Zhao Xianglin also fell in the saddle groove, and after struggling to sit firmly, she complained dissatisfiedly: "Tianhe, didn't you say that Xiao Hei is a lame horse?

Xiao Tianhe also opened his mouth in surprise: "You didn't see it running last night, it was limping, how could you let go of its hooves and run today? Could it be that the three lame legs were healed overnight?"

"A lame leg is not a broken leg, how can it be healed? You can see where it is taking us first!"

Xiao Tianhe was already very unfamiliar with the geographical distribution, how did he know? He had to guess randomly: "Seeing that this direction is the direction of Feiyun District, could it be that it knows that we are going to Feiyun City, so it specially came out to carry us?"

"How is that possible!You've never said in front of it that you're going back to Feiyun City!" Zhao Xianglin said.

Xiao Tianhe's mind suddenly flashed a fine light, and he slapped his thigh: "I know, Watch City! I bought it in Watch City!"

Xiao Hei seemed to understand again, raised his head, and hissed happily. It seems that Xiao Tianhe guessed correctly.

Shouwang City is a little-known state city located in the northwest of Feiyun District, and Zhao Xianglin has never heard of it. She just wanted to ask, Xiao Tianhe

He wondered again: "But this is not right, I have never released Xiao Hei on the way from Feiyun City to Eight Kings City, how did it know the road?"

"'Old Horse Knows the Way'!"

Xiao Tianhe shook his head and said: "That's even more wrong, Xiao Hei is obviously very young, and the store that sells horses claims that Xiao Heisheng is a lame horse, and he only needs to be raised to kill and eat meat." I'm sure it's never been this far!"

"Hmph, I still want to kill and eat meat, it's good that I didn't eat him!" suddenly a male voice sounded in the ears of the two of them.

"Who?" the two shouted in unison, looking around, in the wilderness, the sun was rising, and there was no figure at all.

"Could it be ......" Xiao Tianhe's gaze fell on Xiao Hei, who was running wildly, and his eyes were about to fall out. Xiao Tianhe suddenly felt that his heart was hairy, and goosebumps arose.

"It's me, that's right!" the voice sounded again. This time, the two of them heard it clearly, and it did come from Xiao Hei's mouth.

Xiao Tianhe jumped back in surprise and shouted, "Wow, it's haunted!"

Zhao Xianglin turned his head and gave him a roll of his eyes: "What the hell is going on in broad daylight! Xiao Hei is clearly a demon clan! You are still its owner, and you don't even know this!"

"Demon Clan?" Xiao Tianhe's brain couldn't turn around all of a sudden, but this was also the only reason that could reasonably explain Ma Turen's words.

Xiao Hei said again: "This sister is right! I am not an ordinary dark horse, let alone a crippled horse! I am a dignified Wuyang Divine Horse!"

The two looked at each other, they were not familiar with the demon clan, and they didn't know where the "Wuyang Divine Horse" was.

"Xiao Hei, I've been blinded by you for so long, you have to give me an explanation!" Xiao Tianhe patted the horse's body.

"When I was sold to the stables of Overwatch as ordinary livestock, I was a little lame, but not born, but injured. Xiao Hei explained.

Xiao Tianhe wondered even more: "Since it was injured, why couldn't ......the horse seller see it?"

Before Xiao Tianhe finished speaking, Xiao Hei replied disdainfully: "That's because of his clumsiness! My injuries are not in my skin, flesh and bones, but in my meridians, and they are not bruises, but they are injured by someone with strong skills!"

Xiao Tianhe stuck out his tongue and swallowed back the sentence "I didn't see it at the time" that he didn't finish just now.

Xiao Hei said again: "I was already injured to the point where I couldn't hurry, in order to get rid of the pursuit of the strong enemy as soon as possible, I can only think of a way to go deeper into the human realm faster." So I took the form of a foal, and with my pitiful appearance, changed hands several times, and finally settled in the stables of Overwatch. The environment there is not bad, and it is comfortable enough, just enough to slowly recuperate. So, I worked quietly there as a 'lame horse' for a few years. No one wants to spend money on a cripple horse, so I don't have to worry about being bought again. It's also thanks to the ridiculous shopkeeper who plans to raise me to eat meat, so he didn't throw me away. ”

"Then why were you willing to let me buy it? After all, your legs were three times lame, and if you hadn't rubbed your head against my palm, I probably wouldn't have bought you. "Xiao Tian Dao.

"In order not to be suspicious, I had to control my size and change the growth rate of an average animal. I was already a 'big horse' when you arrived, and I believe it won't be long before the shop will send me to the butcher to be slaughtered. I was going to slip away, but it happened to be a time when many junior cultivators were buying horses and hurrying away, and horses were scarce. I had a whim, and I wanted to wait and see if someone would buy me out. Almost all of them were lame horses when they heard it, and they didn't even want to look at it. Just as I was about to give up this ridiculous idea, you unexpectedly appeared. The shopkeeper knew that I was not good at selling, so he deliberately agreed with you before taking me to see the horses. So you didn't want to buy it at that time, you didn't have to buy it, you had no way out. Seeing that you, a dumb-headed boy, were willing to come to see a lame horse that others didn't care about at all, I softened my heart and decided to send you to the Zongpiao Realm first and then leave, lest you spend so much money in vain, right? Who knows that you are really stupid, and actually use silver as money, which makes me laugh, hahaha!"

"Uh...... That's not because I've never seen what the money in the Yuyu realm looks like!" Xiao Tianhe also smiled awkwardly, "It's also fate for you and me, and then I went back and replaced you with a magic knife." Then you also pretended to be sweating profusely after walking all night?"

"Hey, of course!" Xiao Hei shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect that an unintentional chance would allow me to meet the owner of Meng Zhangpei, it's really unpredictable!"

"Xiao Hei, are you planning to carry us to Watch City now?" Zhao Xianglin asked.

"That's right!"

"Why?"

"Go find something. Tianhe, where did you get that slate?" Xiao Hei's tone sounded as casual as Xiao Tianhe's old friend for many years.

Xiao Tianhe briefly recounted the process of getting the slate.

After listening, Xiao Hei immediately asked, "That woman's name is Zhan Hongyue?"

"That's right, you know her?" Xiao Tianhe said in surprise.

"Of course I do! She's my sister. Xiao Hei said regretfully, "My sister must have found out my last whereabouts and found you, but she didn't find any trace of me, so she deliberately entrusted the slate to you in the end." If you had released me for us to meet, it wouldn't have been so troublesome now. ”

Xiao Tianhe said helplessly: "Who could have predicted this? Fortunately, when Sister Zhao asked me about my future plans last night, I thought of that slate, otherwise I don't know when you will come out!"

"My injuries have almost healed, and it is not a long-term solution in the Meng Zhang realm, you don't know how hard I have to hide from a master like Shi Haoming. If it hadn't been for the slate you took out last night, I think I would have said goodbye to you in the near future. "Little underworld.

"Then what are you going to take us to find?" Xiao Tianhe asked.

"You'll know when you get there. With that, I was able to get in touch with my sister. Well, to avoid getting into trouble, I stopped talking all the way. Tianhe, Sister Zhao, I have a request, don't tell my secret to those demon clans in the Meng Zhang Realm and the Prison Realm, is it okay?"

The two looked at each other: "Of course." ”

Xiao Hei hissed happily, increased his speed again, bathed in the bright sunshine, and walked away.
