Two men came up to him, and when they saw the short and fat woman, they bowed together: "Sister Pan." ”

"Hmm. The short and fat woman didn't seem to want to take care of the two of them anymore, and walked straight ahead. The two men hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it. The woman was rude, but the two men did not dare to say much, and it seemed that the status of the woman was higher than that of the two. When Ye Linglong passed by the two men, she felt their eyes sweep across her face.

"Ah, could it be ......" Ye Linglong deliberately paid attention to the short and fat woman, and found that her malicious afterglow glanced at her face from time to time, and her heart suddenly understood. Ye Linglong is beautiful, and the short and fat woman is ugly. When the two walk together, the beautiful becomes more and more beautiful, and the ugly naturally becomes even more ugly. The market was crowded and lively, and the short and fat woman deliberately chose a route with few people.

"Heh, it's ...... for this kind of thing" Ye Linglong already knew that the short and fat woman was a very jealous person, so she took out a hat and brought it.

The short and fat woman found out about her actions, but she looked even more unhappy, maybe she thought that the reason why Ye Linglong covered her face was out of pity for her, so she asked with a hint of anger, "What do you mean by this?"

"I came to meet the two seniors to discuss important matters, or don't let too many people know. Ye Linglong said.

"Hey, so it's a mystery ......" The short and fat woman sneered, "Do you think it's so easy to see our 'Qingming Shuangjie'?"

"'Qingming Shuangjie'?" Ye Linglong heard of it for the first time.

The short and fat woman sneered proudly: "Lonely and unheard!

'A thousand feet deep in Tibet,

There is my Qingming City.

Asgard into the kun soil,

The jade is in the dust.

The light is the shadow of the sun,

Fluorite generation moon wheel.

Don't hear about the double masterpiece,

In vain. ’

Our 'Qingming Shuangjie' is famous all over the world, don't you know? The 'underground miracle' of Qingming City can only be built by relying on the two of them, if it is replaced by someone else, how can it have such an achievement?"

Ye Linglong couldn't cry or laugh: "How can I say this? I just came to see the two seniors, how can I not know? It's just that I haven't heard of this name." ”

The short and fat woman's expression was a little embarrassed, but she still didn't give up: "If you don't know the name of Shuangjie, it proves that you are not familiar with them." In any case, Shuangjie is not something that anyone can see if they want to, especially someone who wants to climb to a high position with a little bit of possibility!"

This was too ugly to say, Ye Linglong snorted dissatisfiedly, and no longer paid attention to the woman.

The short and fat woman thought that she had guessed correctly, and began to babble, while ridiculing and ridiculing Ye Linglong for being "shameless and cheap", and at the same time not forgetting to sing praises for the noble quality of "Qingming Shuangjie" who is not greedy for women. Ye Linglong didn't want to have more boring arguments with the short and fat woman at all, but the woman saw that Ye Linglong had been silent, but became more and more energetic, as if she wanted to vent all the jealousy and dissatisfaction in her heart.

However, there was a sentence from the short and fat woman that caught Ye Linglong's attention, according to what she said, since the establishment of Qingming City, many people have come to He Tongjie to defect. Everyone knows that the "Qingming Shuangjie" plays a pivotal role in the He Tong world, so some people want to take the crooked path and climb a little relationship with Shuangjie.

"Sister Pan, do you mean that the people of Qingming City are not just Ascenders?" Ye Linglong interrupted the short and fat woman's words.

The short and fat woman was a little surprised, she didn't expect that Ye Linglong had been ridiculed for so long, and she couldn't hear the slightest dissatisfaction from the tone of her voice. "Of course! There are so many people in Qingming City, how can they all be ascendants? There are many people in the Yuyu Realm who can't get along in the territory of the Five Emperors and Five Monarchs, and there are even many who have made enemies with the Five Emperors and Five Monarchs, thanks to our 'Qingming Shuangjie' who is open-minded and righteous, and has taken in these people. In short, as long as you are upright and fair, you can go to He Tongjie to work for Shuangjie!" she said proudly.

Ye Linglong hurriedly asked, "Then I don't know if there was a formation master named Ye Yuansheng who came to defect?" Her grandfather Ye Yuansheng disappeared from the rivers and lakes after making a feud with the Red Emperor, according to the short and fat woman, it is indeed very likely to defect under the command of the "Qingming Shuangjie".

"Ye Yuansheng, I've never heard of it. The short and fat woman's answer made Ye Linglong very disappointed, "Besides, there are only a handful of formation masters in the world today, 'There is the Chi Emperor in the south, and there is the Kong Bian family in the north', what is the name of Ye Yuansheng you are talking about, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"

The "Kong Bian family" is similar to the Ye family, and it is also a famous Wang family who is good at formations. Kong and Bian have been married all year round, and the routines of the way of formation are the same, so people are called "Kong Bian family". Ye Linglong had heard of these two, but Ye Yuansheng had said in his early years that the formation level of the two families was actually inferior to the Ye family, but they were deliberately pushed out by the arrogant immortal cultivators in order to "compete" with the Demon Dao Chi Xi Emperor in terms of fame. As a result, the phrase "there is the Chixi Emperor in the south, and the Confucian family in the north" has spread far and wide. Now the short and fat woman only hears of the "Kong Bian family", but she doesn't know the name of Ye Yuansheng, she is the real lonely and unheard.

Ye Linglong was secretly amused, and said in her heart: "Grandpa's formation attainments, how can they be compared to just Kong and Bian Zhiyi?" It seems that it is useless to ask her, so let's wait to see the 'Qingming Shuangjie' and ask in detail!"

The short and fat woman took Ye Linglong up and down, and she didn't know how many turns, and finally came to the door of a three-story small building at the edge of the cave. Looking back, the entrance to the tunnel where Ye Linglong entered the cave before was far away from this small building. Each floor of the building extends a corridor that connects with the buildings in the central area of the cavern, as well as the upper and lower corridors and the ground on the cave wall

The crossings are connected. Looking down, the small building is twenty or thirty zhang high from the bottom of the cave, and what is even more surprising is that there is actually a river at the bottom of the cave, and there is a trestle by the river, and there is a boat parked on the water! There is a spiral staircase under the small building, which hangs down to the side of the trestle.

The stocky woman knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and a large man poked his head out and looked at the two of them suspiciously. The woman smiled all over her face: "Brother Xu, this person said that he had something important to ask to see the two adults, so I brought her here." Sister Li is here?"

The man glanced Ye Linglong up and down: "You come in first!"

Ye Linglong entered the small building, and the short and fat woman also wanted to follow in, but was blocked out of the building by the man: "Hey, you don't have to go in." Sister Li is busy now!" After speaking, the man politely closed the door, and the short and fat woman had to turn around and leave in a huff.

The man led Ye Linglong into a room, asked her to sit down in front of a long table, and sat on the other side of the long table, and lazily put his legs on the table, and asked, "Who is the surname, where does it come from, and what is the purpose, tell me one by one." ”

"Is this an interrogation of prisoners?" Although Ye Linglong felt very uncomfortable, she had to answer honestly: "My name is Ye Linglong......

Before she could finish a whole sentence, the man shouted, "Don't you even know the rules?

Ye Linglong did as he said, and gently placed the hat on top of the long table.

As soon as the man saw Ye Linglong's face, his expression immediately changed, he quickly took his feet off the table, sat upright, cleared his throat, and said in a kind tone: "Miss Ye's name is very good. I don't know where you came from, what are you doing with the two adults?"

"I am a native of Yutian City in the Red Domain. Seeing the two seniors, I wanted to find a few people. ”

When the man heard this, he laughed, sat a few inches forward, patted his chest and said, "It turns out that I was just looking for someone." There is no need to alarm the two adults about this, just leave it to me. In this Qingming City, there is no one I don't know!"

"Oh, then there is work, I want to find three people: He Tianyao, Hua Qingyu, and Ye Yuansheng. Ye Linglong directly reported the names of the three people.

Xu Haisheng's expression changed abruptly: "This ......"

"Do you know?"

"Knowing is knowing, but ...... It's not easy to do!" Xu Haisheng looked embarrassed.

Ye Linglong's heart tightened: "Why? Could it be that something happened to them?"

"No, Miss Ye doesn't have to worry. I don't know why, since He Tianyao called our Qingming City, he has been treated as a guest by the two adults. Later, I heard that he was born in the Taiqing Sect of the Great Red Realm, so he was taken away by those people from the Taiqing Sect of the Yuyu Realm. Hua Qingyu should be the new woman from Hua Jun's lineage, right? Although the two of them are in Qingming City, they each have their own belongings, so it is not easy to meet them, and they must go through the Taiqing Sect and the predecessors in charge of Hua Jun's lineage. As for Ye Yuansheng...... I thought about it, there is no such person in the city, I am afraid that the information that Miss Ye got is wrong. ”

"Well, that's okay. The main reason I came this trip was to find He Tianyao and Hua Qingyu. I wonder if Brother Xu can report to the seniors in charge of the Taiqing Sect and Hua Junmai for me?"

Xu Haisheng hesitated embarrassedly: "This ...... Miss Ye, the affairs of the Taiqing Sect and Hua Junmai are not something that can be seen if you want to, I still have to report to the top. If you can get two adults to come forward, then it's no problem. ”

Ye Linglong felt very funny, Xu Haisheng's words were simply summed up: he is not qualified enough. He talked too much, went around and came back, it seems that he still has to see the "Qingming Shuangjie" first. It can be seen that the hierarchical management system of Qingming City is very strict, and it seems to be divided into several factions, which makes Ye Linglong feel very uncomfortable.

Xu Haisheng's superior is the "Sister Li" he said to the short and fat woman before. He said that "Sister Li" is not here now, and he will be back in an hour. After that, he chatted with Ye Linglong. Ye Linglong couldn't bear this "enthusiasm", so she said that she wanted to go to the market. Xu Haisheng was even more attentive, and he had to accompany him, saying that he was worried that Ye Linglong would get lost alone. Ye Linglong thought about it, she was new to the city, and her unfamiliar face was indeed noticeable, and it was not a bad thing to have Xu Haisheng to lead her, so she agreed.

After leaving the small building, Xu Haisheng gushed to Ye Linglong about this magnificent Qingming City. It turns out that this underground cave "square" is not the largest one, but the "White Tiger Cave" in the west of the city. There is a cave of the same size in the east, south and north of the city, which is the same as the "White Tiger Cave", all named after the four elephants. The four caves surround a larger cave and are named "Dongtian", which is taken from the meaning of "there is no cave". The Dongtian Cave is the center of Qingming City, and the residence of the "Qingming Shuangjie" is there. The White Tiger Cave is a crowded area in the city where people buy and drink, and the Xuanwu Cave in the north is a natural mineral deposit, not only money mines, but also some rare metal mines. The surface of the Xuanwu Cave is a large forest, and there are many precious snow medicinal materials in the forest. It is precisely because there are medicinal materials and mineral deposits there, so the Xuanwu Cave is the only one of the several major caves in Qingming City that is completely excavated by artificiality; the Qinglong Cave in the east is the area of alchemy and casting, and it is also the storage warehouse of Qingming City, where all kinds of materials obtained from the outside world will be stored, and then transported to the market of the White Tiger Cave through the underground river after casting or refining into cultivation items; the Vermilion Bird Cave in the south is the main residence of Qingming City, but the people who live there are relatively low status. In the south of Suzaku Cave, there is a large group of small underground caves, which can be inhabited by a little modification, and if the strength is strong enough, you can apply for a separate cave. Like Taiqing Sect, flowers

The forces of the Jun vein disdain to crowd together with others in the Vermilion Bird Cave, and it is precisely because of their important position that there are several large caves on the periphery of Qingming City that are far away for them to live in and use. As for the Dongtian Caves, it is the residence of the top masters in Qingming City, and there are also more than a dozen martial arts platforms built in the Dongtian Caves for cultivators to learn from.

Ye Linglong couldn't help but sigh, Qingming City was actually no longer a "city", it was already similar to the territory ruled by the Five Emperors and Five Monarchs. People say that He Tongjie is located in the extreme north, the environment is harsh, and the population is sparse, who knows that in the deep underground, there is such a prosperous hidden place!

"I believe Miss Ye can understand why the hierarchical management of Qingming City is so strict now, right? If it weren't for this, I'm afraid the secrets of Qingming City would have spread all over the world!" Xu Haisheng said with a smile.

Ye Linglong was skeptical: "Having said that...... However, with such a huge project and so many cultivators, it should be impossible to completely seal the secret. Besides, the 'Qingming Shuangjie' has repeatedly appeared on the rivers and lakes, and all the emperors probably know that there is such a power of ascendants. ”

"Hey, that's the so-called: 'How can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch?' The Five Emperors and Five Monarchs actually look down on the two adults, look down on us He Tong Realm, and think that if we can't make any moves, they will regret it sooner or later! Hmph, they probably never dreamed that Qingming City would develop to the current prosperity! According to the plan of the two adults, it will be further expanded in the future, first underground, and then on the ground, starting from the He Tong Realm, which no one is optimistic about, to open up our own territory!" Xu Haisheng said proudly.

Ye Linglong did not agree with what Xu Haisheng said. In her mind, a force led by two Nine Palace-level masters, the Five Emperors and Five Monarchs had to weigh it carefully if they wanted to get rid of it. On the other hand, it is not easy for Guo Shimian and Yi Qianjue to eradicate any of the ten emperors, firstly, the power is not strong enough, and secondly, everyone understands the truth of "cold lips and teeth", Guo and Yi will never be stupid enough to provoke public anger. Therefore, the balance between the two clans of He Tong Realm and Immortals and Demons is quite delicate now, for the Five Emperors and Five Monarchs, your Ascendant forces just occupy a hostilous land with a harsh environment, as long as you don't come to invade my territory, you can toss around on your own territory, and for the Ascendant forces, they are even happier to have no one to disturb and develop freely. However, Ye Linglong believes that the leaders of all parties must have a long-term plan in their hearts, and what the current stable pattern will eventually lead to can only be verified by time.

At this moment, Ye Linglong didn't want to discuss this kind of world event with Xu Haisheng, she just wanted to meet the two old friends earlier.

Xu Haisheng led Ye Linglong around the market building, there were many people who knew him in the market, and when they saw a beautiful girl behind him, people's eyes were different. Xu Haisheng also enjoyed this eye-catching feeling, and proposed to take Ye Linglong to other buildings for a walk.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" a woman walked up the stairs of the corridor, plump and quite beautiful.

"Sister Li!" Xu Haisheng hurriedly bowed to the woman, and then briefly explained the situation.

After hearing this, the woman walked around Ye Linglong with her hands: "You are friends with the two people from the Taiqing Sect and the Huajun Vein?"

"Yes. ”

"What is the relationship between you and He Tianyao?" the woman's question was strange.

"It's friendship. ”

Xu Haisheng on the side was very excited when he heard this.

"Heh, it's unfortunate that you came, He Tianyao had already left He Tongjie two months ago. The woman's tone seemed to be a little gloating.

Ye Linglong frowned slightly: "Where did he go?"

"I don't know. The woman spread her hands out, "I just happened to see him out of town." ”

It's so strange, He Tianyao is thinking about the Taiqing Sect of the Yuyu Realm, and now that he has finally found this place, how can he leave easily?" "Is it to visit an old friend?" Ye Linglong thought about it, since the separation of the Emperor Cliff Realm, it has only been a few months now, and He Tianyao will definitely not go to her and Xiao Tianhe. In addition to the two of them, the only people who can be called old friends are Hua Qingyu, Fei Tukong and Zhao Xianglin. Hua Qingyu is also in the He Tong Realm, Fei Tukong is far away in the Chixi Domain, and Chaohuan Gorge where Zhao Xianglin is located is even farther away. "Sister Li, I don't know which direction he went when he left Qingming City?"
