The lobby of the pavilion chief's mansion is full of friends.

Duan Chen accompanied him all the way, followed Xu Chu into the pavilion chief's mansion, and saw four red lacquered wooden chairs placed side by side at the top of the lobby, and pavilion chief Li Zheng was sitting on them, chatting and laughing with the other three.

Duan Chen looked carefully and immediately recognized the three people, who were Zhuge Xuanshuang and his party who had come to worship Lu Fuzi in the morning.

In addition to the four of them, there were eight or nine other people sitting on both sides of the hall, and Chenyang, Zhou Changgong and others were impressively in the ranks.

In this kind of battle, Duan Chen secretly said in his heart: "Lord Li Zheng called me to come this time, didn't he want to wash the dust for that Zhuge Xuanshuang?"

After thinking about it, he and Xu Chu entered the hall before and after, and heard that Zhuge Xuanshuang was talking to Li Zheng: "This beast tide suddenly broke out, the situation is strange, my father expected that there must be a demon cultivator behind the beast tide, and sure enough, I really intercepted the three demon cultivators behind the beast tide, but unfortunately those three people are very cunning, and the demon law is extremely high, although the three of us killed one of them and severely injured the other two, but they still escaped." ”

Duan Chen listened carefully, and was shocked in his heart, but his face was silent, and he sat down with Xu Chu on the wooden chair under the hall.

At this time, I saw Li Zheng's face startled, and said: "How is this good, these two demon cultivators escaped with their lives this time, and when they recover from their injuries in the next day, they are bound to make a comeback, if my Tiandu Town is not guarded by a foundation monk, how can I compete with them?"

Zhuge Xuanshuang said with a smile: "Uncle Li can relax for the time being, let's not talk about whether these two demon cultivators are seriously injured, whether they can still live, even if they can really survive, it will take three or five months to recover from the injuries in their bodies, so there is no need to worry." ”

Li Zhenglian said: "What about three or five months later?"

Zhuge Xuanshuang smiled: "At that time, the new master should also arrive. ”

Li Zheng's mind was sharp, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard the words, and said, "What the virtuous niece means is that the new master is a master of foundation building?"

Zhuge Xuanshuang nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

After a slight pause, she didn't see how she moved, so she conjured a wooden box out of thin air in her hand, handed it to Li Zheng, and said: "Xuanshuang came this time, and was entrusted by my father to bring you two Zhuji Dan to Uncle Li. ”

When Li Zheng heard the word Zhuji Dan, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly took the wooden box from Zhuge Xuanshuang's hand, and said, "Thank you for your father on my behalf, I accepted these two Zhuji Dan with shame." ”

Zhuge Xuanshuang said: "Uncle Li doesn't need to be so polite, I think that when Li Zhenren was still alive, he took care of my Zhuge family, and my father always thought of this matter, and he was often grateful. ”

Li Zheng sighed and said: "Thinking back then, when the ancestors built the foundation into Jindan, how high-spirited my Li family was, and now that the dynasty has fallen to this, only your father still remembers us." ”

Zhuge Xuanshuang saw that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, his eyes turned, he glanced around at everyone in the hall, followed his eyes to Duan Chen's face, and asked, "You are Duan Chen?"

Duan Chen hurriedly got up and said, "Senior Duan Chen, have you seen Zhuge senior?"

Zhuge Xuanshuang was only seventeen years old, and he was shouted by his Zhuge seniors that he was old, but he was not angry, and said with a chuckle: "Let me ask you, you are only fifteen years old now, and you have cultivated to the ninth level of qi refining?"

Duan Chen secretly glanced at Li Zheng, and when he saw Li Zheng nodding slightly, he couldn't help but say, "Yes." ”

Zhuge Xuanshuang's beautiful eyes lit up, and he smiled lightly: "Fifteen years old, the ninth level of qi refining, it's too late, let me ask you, are you willing to go to Qingshan City with me to cultivate?"

Duan Chen then remembered that when he was in that black water prison, Li Zheng had said that he would recommend him to Qingshan City, and he couldn't help nodding at the moment: "The junior is willing, it's just ......."

Although he was very willing to go to Qingshan City with Zhuge Xuanshuang and his party to see the world, he was a little hesitant for a while when he thought that Han Sheng was still recuperating in the medicine hall at the moment.

Zhuge Xuanshuang said: "Just what?"

At this time, I only heard Li Zheng on the side say: "Xian's niece doesn't know, Duan Chen has been dependent on his cousin Han Sheng since he was a child, but this Han Sheng entered the mountain a few days ago and did not return, Duan Chen is worried about his cousin's safety, so it is difficult to decide." ”

Duan Chen was worried about how to explain, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said, "That's right." ”

Zhuge Xuanshuang Dai frowned slightly, and said: "I will return to Qingshan City in two days, and I will give you two days to think about it for the time being, if you are willing to go to Qingshan City with me in two days, you will prepare your bags and come to the Pavilion Chief's Mansion to meet us, if you don't want to come, we will not force you." ”

Duan Chen's heart was relieved, and he said, "Thank you seniors." ”

Zhuge Xuanshuang was annoyed that he didn't know how to lift, and said in a cold voice: "You call me a senior again?"

Duan Chen was stunned and said, "Then how should I call the former ......?"

When the words came to his mouth, he stopped them in time, so he didn't shout out the word "generation".

At this time, I only heard Zhuge Xuanshuang say coldly: "Whatever you want, don't call me senior anyway." ”

Duan Chen secretly said in his heart: "Although this Zhuge Xuanshuang is a master of foundation building, but her age is here after all, if I call her old, she will definitely be angry, but if I call her by her name, it seems that it is not polite, and it is even more impossible to shout small." ”

For a while, he didn't know what to call Zhuge Xuanshuang, so he had to be silent.

Zhuge Xuanshuang saw that he didn't say a word, and said, "Why don't you speak, but secretly scold me in your heart?"

Duan Chen said: "Late ...... How dare you be. ”

Zhuge Xuanshuang said: "Then why don't you say a word, pretend to be dumb and show it to whom?"

Duan Chen said helplessly: "I really can't think of what to call it, so I can't offend...... You. ”

In the end, he still couldn't think of what to call Zhuge Xuanshuang, so he had to temporarily replace him with you.

Zhuge Xuanshuang sneered and said, "You are open-mouthed, and you keep saying the wrong things and are angry, I naturally want to be unhappy." ”

Duan Chen said: "I don't have this intention in Xia, it's just that in this cultivation path, the one who reaches is the first, if I don't call it like that, how should I call the girl?"

Zhuge Xuanshuang smiled and said, "Don't you already have the answer in your mouth?"

Duan Chen was puzzled, and said, "What is the answer?"

Zhuge Xuanshuang said: "What did you call me in the last sentence?"

Duan Chen recalled, and said hesitantly: "You mean the girl?"

Zhuge Xuanshuang corrected: "It's Xuanshuang girl." ”

Duan Chen said: "Everything is up to Miss Xuanshuang. ”

The bickering words between the two made everyone in the hall laugh secretly.

However, the square-faced man sitting beside Li Zheng seemed to be a little dissatisfied with this, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Senior Sister Xuanshuang, right now, Tiandu Town is in ruins, I think it's better for us not to take up too much time for Li Zhengdaoyou." ”

Zhuge Xuanshuang thought so, and immediately nodded and said, "Senior Brother Pei Yuan's words are reasonable. ”

At that moment, the three of them left the pavilion chief's mansion under the pretext that they wanted to check the situation in the nearby village.

Duan Chen was concerned about Han Sheng's situation, and then left the Pavilion Chief's Mansion and rushed back to the medicine hall. But seeing that the door of the main room was hidden, I couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly pushed the door in, and looked closely, and saw that the bed in the main room was empty, and there was still a trace of Han Sheng.

Duan Chen exclaimed Uncle Han, when he wanted to turn around and rush out of the main room to look for Han Sheng, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a corner of white note under the embroidered pillow on the bed, and immediately walked over quickly, took out the white note from under the pillow, only to realize that this white note was actually a secret letter, and the handwriting on the simple cover was as good as new, with four ink characters written "Chen'er personally enlightened", which was obviously left by Han Sheng.

Duan Chen couldn't wait to open the envelope, took out a thin letter inside, spread it out, and saw that it was written: "Chen'er, if this letter is in your hands, my uncle has been away from the town for a long time, and the future is uncertain. ”

With just two lines of ink characters, Duan Chen's heart was heavy, but he didn't know where to look for Han Sheng.

After a while, he remembered the Seven Demon Lords, and said, "Senior, do you know where my Uncle Han is now?"

The Seven Demon Lords said lightly: "I have been with you all the time, how can I know his whereabouts at this time?"

Duan Chen hurriedly said: "Haven't the predecessors always compared themselves to immortals, don't they even know how to do heavenly arithmetic and deduce human traces?"

The Seven Demon Lords said coldly: "If you had talked to me like this before, I don't know how many times I would have died. ”

Duan Chen knew that he had inadvertently offended the Seven Demon Lords, and said, "The juniors are anxious about Uncle Han's whereabouts, and if they lose their words, please forgive the seniors." ”

The Seven Demon Monarch knew that he didn't mean to, so he snorted coldly and said, "Heavenly Arithmetic, it's not difficult for me to deduce human traces, but now my strength is not as good as before, even if I have the heart to help you, I can't do anything." ”

Duan Chen held the letter in his hand, sighed, and had to temporarily stop the idea of looking for Han Sheng, folded the letter, put it in the envelope, and treasured it in his arms, so as to keep it for a thought in the future.

At this time, he only heard the Seven Demon Lords smile and said: "Actually, as soon as this Han Sheng leaves, it will save you a lot of troubles, then Qingshan City thinks that you are decided, but before that, have you forgotten the agreement between you and me?"

Duan Chen said, "What agreement?"

The Seven Demon Lords smiled faintly and didn't answer, Duan Chen was about to ask, when he suddenly felt an amazing suction force coming from the mountains and rivers in his arms, followed by the strength of his whole body as if he had been sucked dry, and the whole person immediately fell unconscious.

In a coma, I don't know how much time has passed, when Duan Chen woke up, he only felt weak and his limbs were sore, and he couldn't help asking, "Senior, what's wrong with me?"

The Seven Demon Lords were in a happy mood and said with a smile: "Shouyuan deprivation is like this, you can get used to it in the future." ”

The implication is that in the future, when the two get along, there may be many things at the expense of Shouyuan.

Duan Chen secretly slandered himself in his heart, but he said quietly on his face: "Senior, how long has it been since I was in a coma?"

The Seven Demon Monarch said: "It's been almost two days, counting it, I have worked very hard in the past two days, and there are many people who come to you, so I have to pretend to be your voice and think of countless reasons to trick them into leaving with peace of mind." ”

Duan Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked at the deep night outside the window, and said, "In other words, tomorrow will be the day when I will agree with Miss Xuanshuang to reply?"

The Seven Demon Monarch said: "Yes, this Demon Lord has always been very accurate, and he will not miss your big things." ”

Duan Chen didn't bother to take care of him, and began to pack his bags while the night was still dark.
