() What state should a person in the middle of Mahayana be unaware of?

Ximen Luo didn't have time to think about it, and pulled out the Zhenyue treasure knife with a "poof", and with the yellow knife light, he saw the outline of the person at the table clearly: dressed in black, wearing a hat on his head, and the hat hung down the veil, so he couldn't see his face.

"Put the knife down. The man's voice was mellow and calm, and he didn't seem to be afraid of the power of the Zhenyue Demon Knife.

Hearing his voice, Ximenluo suddenly remembered someone, but he couldn't believe it at all, could this person be ......

The man picked up the teapot on the table again, filled the teacup in front of him, raised it gently, took a sip, and said with emotion: "I really haven't tasted the tea of the Ximen family for many years!"

"Ah!" Ximen Luo seemed to have been struck by thunder, his right hand let go of the Zhenyue knife, his legs trembled slightly, he slowly knelt down, leaned forward and bowed, threw his five bodies to the ground, and exhaled excitedly and excitedly: "Meet the Demon Lord!"

Ximen Luo had heard this voice several times at the Fengyun Conference, and this person was the twelfth generation of demon lords!

Since the "Record of the Demon Lords of the Past Generations" was announced by the newly enthroned new generation of demon lords after each generation of demon lords ascended, the name of the current demon lord is not known to others, at least during his reign.

Why is Ximen Luo sure that the person in front of him is the contemporary demon lord, in addition to the voice, there is also the realm. This person is unfathomable, so that Ximen Luo can not be aware of it, and he must be above the realm of tribulation. He also has an aura beyond ordinary people, calm and solemn, elegant and majestic, and he must be the demon master.

"Hmm. Get up. I heard that you caught a spy of the Nangong family and got a blue yuan stone, but is there such a thing?"

Ximen Luo's eyes widened in shock, and the demon lord's soft words slammed into his heart like a hammer, not caring about catching Xiao Tianhe, but how did the demon lord know that he had obtained the Blue Yuan Stone?" I was just about to dedicate that blue yuan stone to you on the occasion of the Storm Cloud Conference, and now I will go and get it. Ximen Luo was surprised and relieved a lot, and it was easy to present Lan Yuanshi at this time.

The demon lord stopped Ximen Luo, who was about to go out: "Slow, that's not in a hurry." ”

"The old man is stupid, I don't know what else the lord commands?" Ximen Luo finally reacted, Lan Yuanshi would be in the hands of the demon lord sooner or later, as for who gave it, it didn't make any difference to the demon lord. He must have appeared here for something else.

"Hmph, dare to call me 'old man' in front of me?" the demon lord was dissatisfied.

Ximen Luo immediately knelt on his knees again, bowed his head, and said tremblingly: "Please also ask the demon lord to forgive the villain's mistakes, the villain usually has a high status in the Ximen family, and it is natural to get used to it, so he accidentally said the wrong thing, and he really didn't mean to offend ......"

The demon lord slapped the table impatiently and interrupted Ximen Luo's begging for mercy: "Enough!"

......

After a while, Ximen Luo gently pushed open the door and stepped out, and the moment he turned to cover the door, he felt a light breeze blowing by his side, and when he looked closely, the figure of the demon lord was no longer in the room.

Simon Luo let out a long breath, he was already scared into a cold sweat because of the loss of words, but fortunately the demon lord was not really angry. For the demon lord's later orders, although Ximen Luo didn't know the reason, he didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly disappeared into the night along the path.

......

In the early morning of the second day, a commotion erupted outside the gate of Ximen Garden.

"You all get out of the way!, you actually dare to stop our Nangong Family's Guixi Sect Master!" Nangong Ting yelled angrily at the guards.

Nangong Tong stretched out his arm to block Nangong Ting, stroked his beard with his right hand, and said with a smile: "I am Nangong Tong, the master of the Guixi Department, and I am an old friend of Ximen Luo, the master of the Zhenyue Department. ”

The leader of the guards replied, "This is a rule set by my family patriarch, no outsiders are allowed to enter during the Demon Treasure Conference, and I ask the master of the Tong tribe not to embarrass us." ”

Nangong Tong frowned, "Then it's okay to ask you to report for us, right?"

"This ......," the guard still hesitated, "the patriarch has also stipulated that you are not allowed to disturb the Governor Elders during the rest period, please forgive me for not being able to help." ”

"What is breaking the rules! My family master came from afar, how could the Ximen family avoid it?" Nangong Xue was also a little angry.

"Excuse me, if the Demon Lord is here in person, do you have to abide by this unreasonable rule?" Nangong Wei asked.

Before the guards could answer, someone behind the door shouted, "How can you be compared to the Demon Lord?" The door was opened from the inside, and it was none other than the Zhenyue Sect Master Ximen Luo: "Who dares to make a loud noise in front of the gate of Ximen Yuan!"

"I've seen the ministry master, you came just in time, the Guixi department master of the Nangong family asked to see you. The guard breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside.

Nangong Tong smiled "hehe" and arched his hand: "Lord Luo, it's really not easy to see you." The hospitality of the Simon family, I finally saw it. ”

"It turned out to be the master of Kiribe, and it's been a long time. The rules of the Simon family have always been so strict, and they are not aimed at you alone, and you are still looking at Haihan. Come, there's something inside!" Simon fell sideways.

"Aren't you afraid that we outsiders will disturb you?" Nangong Tong said sarcastically.

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. When you come to visit early in the morning, you must have something important to discuss, and it is not a disturbance. Simon Luo smiled.

Nangong Tong nodded slightly, and stepped up the steps with his negative hand. Nangong Wei, Nangong Xue, and Nangong Ting hurriedly followed. When passing by Ximenluo's side, Nangong Ting glanced sideways, Ximenluo was full of spring breeze and smiling at this time, if he hadn't seen his violent temper with his own eyes, he would definitely regard him as an amiable old man.

After closing the gate, Simon Luo rushed to the front of the four to lead the way.

Nangong Tong said: "Don't hide it from the master, we arrived in Sealand City last night." Thinking about the dead of night, it was inconvenient to disturb, so I stayed until the early morning to visit, but I still ate a closed door. The rules of your Simon house are really unreasonable,

It's time for a change. ”

Ximen Luo smiled and said: "Heh, I don't hide it from the head of the Tong Department, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Oh, Ximen Daoist thought I would come?" asked Nangong Tong.

Ximen Luo laughed: "You and I both know it, why pretend? Anyway, it's either you who come, or Nangong Rong, or Nangong Yan, or the three of you come together." ”

Nangong Rong, the head of the Tyranny Department. Nangong Yan, the head of the Kunwu tribe, is also the patriarch of the contemporary Nangong.

"Nangong Ting and Xiao Tianhe belong to my Guixi Department, so Nangong Rong will naturally not come. The patriarch is busy, and I haven't informed him about it yet. Besides, when it comes to friendship, it should be up to me. "Nangong Tong's words are to Ximen Luo: The reason why I didn't inform the patriarch is to settle it in private, rather than to bring the matter of Lan Yuanshi to the level of the family and the family to deal with it, this is my Nangong Tong's courtesy first, and you Ximen Luo must also take care of the proportions of this matter.

Ximen Luo couldn't hear the meaning of Nangong Tong's words, but he didn't answer, just smiled.

"It seems that this old guy has already thought of a countermeasure......" Nangong Tongxin said. He came here for two purposes: one was to ask the Ximen family to release Xiao Tianhe immediately, and the other was to try to ask for Lan Yuanshi. The first thing is easy, but the second thing is harder. Nangong Tong made up his mind, even if Ximen Luo refused to return Lan Yuanshi, he couldn't let him take it so happily. If you really don't want to go back to Lan Yuanshi, you will go back and report to the patriarch Nangong Yan, so that Nangong Yan and the two patriarchs of Ximen Ding can talk directly, and no matter what, they will share a piece of Lan Yuanshi.

And Nangong Xue and Nangong Ting didn't think about it so much, for them, Xiao Tianhe's people were far more important than Lan Yuanshi.

Ximen Luo led the four of them to a lobby and pushed the door open with a "squeak".

There were three people sitting in the hall, and they got up one after another after seeing Nangong Tong.

The leader was very tall, thin, with an angular face, three wisps of green beard under his chin, and a pair of narrow and thin eyes that reflected a sharp gaze.

"Ximen Ding!" Nangong Tong was very surprised, he didn't expect the patriarch of the Ximen family to come forward.

"Ximen Ding has been waiting for a long time!" Ximen Ding was very enthusiastic.

"It turned out to be the head of the Guixi Division, it's been a long time. I thought that Patriarch Nangong Yan would come in person. It was a middle-aged man with a neatly dressed and ruddy face behind Simon Ding.

"Even the Shoubu master of the Broken Water Department is here, it seems that your Simon family attaches great importance to this matter. Nangong Tong returned the salute. He secretly said in his heart that it was not good, the three major masters of the Ximen family were all here, this was to overwhelm himself with momentum, and he had already informed Nangong Yan to come together.

Nangong Tong set his eyes on another person, this person was quite young, dressed in gray, and it seemed that he was not from the Ximen family. Nangong Tong was a little unsure of his guess, and asked Nangong Xue sideways: "Is that one?"

"Brother Xiao!" Nangong Xue and Nangong Ting's shouts in unison confirmed that what Nangong Tong thought was not wrong, that young man was Xiao Tianhe.

Nangong Tong was very puzzled, and he didn't know what the Ximen family meant by this move.

"What are you still standing for, please take a seat. Come on, serve tea!" Ximen Ding called out loudly.

Xiao Tianhe winked at Nangong Xue and Nangong Ting, signaling that he was fine. One by one, they sat down and waited for Simon to speak.

"Master Tongbu, the night before yesterday, this Xiao brother broke into Ximen Yuan at night and was caught by the lord of the Luobu. During the period, there was some unhappiness because of Lan Yuanshi's matter, and I also looked forward to the head of the Tong Department and the Xiao brother Haihan. "Simon is going straight to the point.

Except for the three masters of the Ximen family, everyone else's eyes widened, this is too polite, right? Whether it is strength or status, Ximen Ding does not have to be like this.

"Well said, well said. Ximen Ding's attitude surprised Nangong Tong, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, "I don't know how Patriarch Ding plans to deal with this matter?"

"Hmm...... Although Brother Xiao said that the Blue Yuan Stone was taken from the belly of the demon fish, I can't believe it. Since getting a Blue Yuan Stone twenty-six years ago, the Xiping Sea has laid a net of heaven and earth, and there are people patrolling day and night, and any turmoil will be immediately noticed. Brother Xiao, it's not that I look down on you, just with your realm, it seems impossible to kill a demon fish silently and easily, right?" Ximen Ding, "As for you saying that it was already dead when you saw the demon fish, I'm afraid it's not the truth." The last time my Ximen family got the Blue Yuan Stone, it was also taken from the belly of the fish, and it took a lot of effort to subdue the fish. Perhaps for the huge demon fish, the Blue Yuan Stone was just a stone that was inadvertently swallowed in the stomach. ”

Since Ximen Ding's attitude was kind, Xiao Tianhe also had to give three points: "That's true." It's just that that night Ximen Luo's predecessors pressed him to ask questions, so in order to avoid other incidents, I made up a fake copy of the news of Lan Yuanshi's appearance last time. ”

Nangong Tong said: "As far as I know, Xiao Daoyou's Lan Yuan Stone is a relic of his mother. As for the fact that he was caught by the Silkworm Net in Xipinghai before, I'm afraid it was just a coincidence, after all, Xiao Daoyou has followed his mother to cultivate in a closed environment since he was a child, and he has never set foot in the rivers and lakes, so he doesn't know that the current pattern of the world is also normal. Nangong Tong said, glancing at Xiao Tianhe. Whether Lan Yuanshi was his mother's relic or not, he was not sure, so saying that it was equivalent to helping Xiao Tianhe make a round, at least this explanation made sense, and it also gave the Ximen family no reason to occupy Lan Yuanshi.

Xiao Tianhe nodded and said, "That's true." In her early years, my mother once found a blue cobblestone and a red cobblestone at the bottom of a deep pool in a mountain stream, and she loved it very much, so she always carried it with her. I don't think she knew that the blue cobblestone was the rare blue elemental stone. ”

"Since this blue yuan stone is not taken from Xipinghai, it should be returned to Brother Xiao to show my sincerity, I hope you will forget the unhappiness between you and the Ximen family, how about it?" Ximen Ding took out the blue yuan stone from his sleeve.

The crowd was secretly amazed.

"Senior Ximen, do you want to return the Blue Yuan Stone to me?" Xiao Tianhe was incredulous.

Simon laughed heartily

sighed: "Lan Yuanshi is right in front of you, don't you believe it, Brother Xiao? If you suspect that this stone is fake, you can test it." ”

"No, no, I do. Xiao Tianhe took the blue yuan stone and put it away.

Several people in the Nangong family were dumbfounded, they thought it was an extremely troublesome matter, but it was actually solved so easily?

Nangong Tong stood up and thanked him: "I really didn't expect that the Ding patriarch would be so generous, which really made the old man admire!"

"As the saying goes: 'A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.'" 'How could I not know the value of the Blue Yuan Stone?, if it was taken from Xipinghai, I would never back down. The Ximen and Nangong clans have always been on good terms, and they must not affect the interests of the entire family because of temporary greed. A blue yuan stone may bless someone in the Simon family, but it will damage the friendship between the two families, and in the long run, it will do more harm than good to my Simon family. If it were the patriarch of Nangong Yan, I think he would do the same. Simon said.

As the head of a clan, one should indeed have a heart for the well-being of his people.

But for some reason, Nangong Tong always felt that something was wrong. The provenance of the blue yuan stone is a matter of no evidence, even if the Ximen family strives for it, it is understandable. And judging from the tone and attitude of Ximen Ding's speech, it seems that he did not take into account the situation of the friendship between the two families, but almost did it to please Xiao Tianhe. A mere demon cultivator in the early stage of the cave void, how could the head of the dignified clan be so polite? Nangong Tong couldn't figure it out.

"Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, please go back. After all, today's Demon Treasure Conference will continue, so please forgive me for not being able to wait long. Ximen Ding politely said goodbye, and then walked out of the lobby with Ximen Shou and Ximen Luo.

Xiao Tianhe, Nangong Xue, and Nangong Ting looked at each other, and things turned around, no one expected it.

Nangong Xue asked, "Brother Xiao, they didn't embarrass you, did they?"

"It's fine. After Brother Ting left, Ximen Luo tied me up with silk and locked me in a room. No one showed up until the early hours of this morning, when Simon Luo came to untie me and brought me here. I thought I was waiting for the top of the Simon family to fall, but I didn't expect you to come. It wasn't until Nangong's predecessor opened his mouth that I learned that those two people were the masters of the other two divisions of the Ximen family. ”

Nangong Ting said disdainfully: "Hey, Ximen Luo's attitude was so bad that night, and he refused to let go, and he also said wildly that even if Patriarch Yan came, he would be justified, but what was the result? In the end, Ximen must not have to release people politely? I just said, how dare the Ximen family dispose of my Nangong family people at will!"

Nangong Tong glared at Nangong Ting: "Ting'er, isn't this whole thing because of you? There is a magic circle in the entire Ximen Garden, you are not small, you dare to climb over the wall in the middle of the night! When you go back, your father will definitely punish you well!"

"Yes, it's okay for me to be punished a little, as long as Brother Xiao is okay. Nangong Ting said honestly, "But we are also unlucky, why did Ximen, who is difficult to speak, come to arrest us? If Ximen Ding came to arrest us in person, he might have released us that night, and he would have saved this trouble." ”

Nangong Tong knocked Nangong Ting's head and reprimanded: "What do you think? This is Xilan City, Ximenluo's old nest." Although the magic circle of Ximen Yuan was laid by the ancestors of the Ximen family, it is now in charge of Ximen Luo. ”

"Grandpa, I always feel that the three heads of the Simon family are a little strange. Ximen's attitude before and after the fall was very different; although Ximen Shou was polite, I just looked at his expression, and it seemed that there was some reluctance; Ximen Ding's words were high-sounding, but for this matter, leaving Lan Yuanshi in the Ximen family is for the benefit of the family, right? After all, my Nangong family can't come up with evidence to prove the exact source of Lan Yuanshi. If the positions of the two sides are exchanged, I'm afraid that Patriarch Yan will not be as happy as him. The calm Nangong Wei has been paying attention to the words and demeanor of the three heads of the Ximen family.

"Ximen Ding is by no means a good stubble, why he is so polite this time, there must be a reason, I really don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd...... That's it, it's better to talk less about this matter in Ximen Garden, I'm going back to Nangong Mansion. Nangong Tong said.

"Grandpa, do you still need to report this matter to Patriarch Yan?" Nangong Wei asked.

"Of course. Lan Yuanshi was lost and recovered, such a big event, but it is incomprehensible, maybe the Yan Patriarch has a unique opinion. In short, we must let him know the strange behavior of the three heads of the Simon family. What about you? Will you stay in Sealand and watch the battle?"

"It's okay anyway, I'd better stay. Nangong Tingdao.

"After the Demon Treasure Conference, I want to talk to Ximen Jue. "Nangong Xue also intends to stay.

"The senior players haven't all appeared yet, so I'll wait until I watch the first round before I go back. Nangong Wei said. For him, the master of the Simon family's advanced group may be the opponent of the Fengyun Conference in the future.

Xiao Tianhe took a deep breath: "I want to go back to Nangong Mansion." ”

Nangong Xue asked in surprise, "Brother Xiao, why don't you stay with us?" Don't you want to meet Ximenrui?"

"It's okay, you don't have to rush to see it, there will always be a chance in the future. I want to go back and meditate and prepare for the Magic Treasure Conference. In fact, after seeing Ximen Rui on the night she was arrested, Xiao Tianhe had already guessed why she looked at her coldly before before. It can be seen from the change in Ximenrui's expression later that the misunderstanding has been eliminated. In addition, Xiao Tianhe wanted to see Ximenrui for another purpose: he wanted to confirm whether the feeling of being peeped at when he watched the game in the ring a few days ago came from Ximenrui. He also got the answer to this point from Ximen Jue's words that night, the three sisters of Ximen had never been to the ring in the early days of the Demon Treasure Conference.

Was it his own delusion or was someone really peeping in secret? Xiao Tianhe was faintly uneasy. In addition, the fact that he was tied up at night in Ximen Yuan swept away the only interest left in his heart, and he didn't want to stay in Xiting City anymore.

"Okay, Xiao Daoyou will go back with me, I happen to have something I want to ask you. Nangong Tong said.

Xiao Tianhe nodded.
