Chapter 331
When the dishes on the table were almost finished, the little fox's belly was round, and Mo Ghost got up to leave, and the waiter in the store came over with a bag in his hand, which had limited storage space, but it was usually used to hold some small things.
"Thank you, dare to ask how many spirit stones?" Huang Gong took the bag.
"The city lord of Xing has ordered, the accounts here are all counted on his head, and the Taoist friends can just take it," the waiter put the bag into Huang Gong's hand, and did not give him room at all, "Senior, you go slowly, come often when you have time!"
"This..." Huang Gong hesitated and looked at Mo Ghost.
"That being the case, thank you for the kindness of the city lord Xing for us. Mo Ghost's mind moved slightly, and he hugged the little fox, "If you have a chance, thank you in person." โ
"Senior..." Out of Liuxiangju, Huang Gong followed behind her and hesitated to speak, "Senior, you are from Xiaoyao, Xing Ling will indeed give you some face, but since you entered the city, he has been thorough, and it seems a little unreasonable." โ
"I know," Mo Ghost followed the direction pointed by Huang Gong and walked towards the cave mansion, "Making friends is one thing, and on the other hand, there may be something to ask me for." โ
On the other side, in the private room on the third floor of Liuxiangju, Xing Tu was also talking about it.
"Young Master, why are you so polite to this Lin Qi? Although she is a carefree monk, she is only one of many monks, where is her status more noble than you?" Xing Tu has followed Xing Ling since he was a child, and he spoke a lot more casually.
Xing Ling glanced at him when he heard this, but Xing Tu didn't seem to notice it.
"Look at that Huang Gong again, thief eyebrows, rat eyes, thin and small, it's hard for him to look so ugly, such a person feels ashamed to do it," Xing Tu said with a lot of disdain, and poured a bowl of soup for Xing Ling as he spoke, turning his back to Xing Ling, "I don't know why Lin Qi wanted to save him, but you couldn't get angry." โ
Xing Tu turned around, picked up the soup bowl, and sent it to Xing Ling, with a wicked smile on his face, "Young Master, isn't Lin Qi going to retreat?
"Smack!"
Xing Ling overturned the soup bowl and looked at him coldly.
"Young Master, Young Master, you are angry!" Xing Tu immediately knelt there, "If there is something wrong with me, just point it out, you must take care of yourself!"
"Xing Tu, how many years have you followed me?" Xing Ling held a fan in his hand, his face expressionless.
"Young Master, what are these words, since the beginning of cultivation, won't I just follow you?" Xing Tu lowered his head, his body was in an unconscious state of relaxation when he said this, not to mention that he didn't feel that he was saying anything, even if he really made any mistakes, with this affection, he would open his mind.
"Do you remember what you used to be like?" Xing Ling's fan slammed on his head.
"What the young master said..." Xing Tu felt the strength above his head, and only felt that his heart was also jumping, "Is it when Xing's family is there?"
"My grandfather has always followed the patriarch, Xing Po was weak before he was born, and even with us juniors, he was a man with his tail between his legs, do you remember what kind of personality you had at that time?" Xing Yu put down his crossed legs.
"At that time, I must have been cautious..." Xing Tu's eyes rolled, what could he do at that time, it was nothing more than being careful not to cause trouble.
"That's right, it's cautious," Xing Ling slapped it heavily and closed the fan with a slurp, "Why did grandpa let you follow me, what I fancy is your cautious nature in words and deeds, but I found that I am not good, but you have floated a lot?"
"The subordinates don't dare," Xing Tu's pupils shrank, and his head slammed on the ground, "How dare the subordinates be frivolous!"
"No?" Xing Tu sneered, "Then what did you just say!" He kicked over mercilessly, "Let me tell you, I, Xing Tu, am a gentleman, mixed with seniority in Xiling City, as long as I see people from the top ten sects, you will give me some respect!"
He got up and stepped on Xing Tu's hand, "Cheng Xiaoman and Huang Gong are just minions, and now they have nothing to do with me, whether you meet Lin Qi or other monks in the future, you will give me some respect, there is no part of your ability here!"
"Yes, yes, young master, I was wrong, I shouldn't be complacent, I definitely won't!" Xing Tu wailed, his other hand holding the wrist of the hand that was being stepped on.
"If I find out that you are doing something that you shouldn't do under my banner, as long as you go back to Xing's house for me, I Xing Ling can't accommodate your big Buddha here!" Xing Ling's feet twisted and said fiercely.
In recent years, in Xiling City, the emperor is far away, and he is the lord of the city, and the large and small sects stationed here will give some face.
However, Xing Ling is still a little self-aware, this face is for the sake of the beast control faction, for Xing Po's sake, and has nothing to do with him, so he seems to be indulgent, but he has never crossed the line, and he will never have any tricks exposed.
But after meeting Lin Qi today, Xing Ling suddenly discovered that he was indeed very cautious, but his guards became more and more arrogant, and they secretly made a move?
Who gave him the guts!
"I don't dare, young master, I don't dare anymore, please let me go!" Xing Tu has followed him for many years, and naturally knows that his heart is ruthless enough, "It's me who lost my heart, but I'm absolutely sincere to you!"
"If you weren't faithful enough, you'd be a corpse today. Xing Tu let go of his feet and slowly walked to the chair and sat down, "Go back and think about it, what kind of attitude you should have." โ
"Yes, Young Master Xie will take my life!" Xing Tu's hands trembled, and he knelt on the ground to thank him.
"Uncle Thirteen!"
A brisk voice came from outside the door, Xing Ling glanced at Xing Tu, he immediately got up, came to the door, opened the door of the private room, and a young man with a pure temperament came in.
"Uncle Thirteen, I'm coming to see you again!" Xing Po came in, followed by the guards.
Generally speaking, each family is about fifty or a hundred years, and there will be a generation, Xing Po is the one hundred and sixth generation disciple, line six, but Xing Ling is one generation higher than him, line thirteen, so according to the number of etiquette, Xing Po has to call Xing Ling the thirteenth uncle.
The two met more than 30 years ago, when Xing Po had just built the foundation, and Xing Po came to experience it at that time.
Xing Jue is a person who acts uninhibitedly, and does not care about the courtesy of his elders and juniors, and Xing Po is like an equal, with him like a blank piece of paper, he has really gained some knowledge, so the two have a very personal relationship, and occasionally pass by to take a look.
"Little Liu, why did you suddenly come here again?" Xing Ling pointed to the chair opposite with a smile on his face, "Don't you miss me too much?"
"Uncle Thirteen, that's why you can say such things!" Xing Po sat opposite with a smile on his face, smelled the food on the table, and still smelled as fragrant as in his memory, "I've wanted to eat this for a long time!"
"I see that your breath is mellow, what's wrong with cultivation?" Xing Ling picked up the bowl and took a sip.
"It's just that I've been in the middle of Jindan for too long, and I'm a little impetuous," Xing Po's chopsticks paused, and then stuffed a large piece of spirit beast meat, "In recent years, the mainland has not been peaceful, and Master won't let me go out alone." โ
"You're a glutton, of course I can't let you out. Xing Ling also ate.
"But Senior Brother Yan Min can, he has been training outside, and if I want to go out, I will obstruct it in every way," Xing Po pouted, "Even when I came to the Demon Beast Forest this time, I begged for a while before agreeing, if I continue like this, when will my cultivation be able to improve!"
"Heh, I've been cultivating for more than fifty years, and I've only reached the late stage of Jindan, and I've only entered a small step. Xing Ling snorted coldly, but he was not angry, he just teased, "I didn't say anything!"
"Uncle Thirteen!" Xing Po knew his personality and snorted angrily.
"Okay, I won't tease you," Xing Ling waved his hand, "I'll tell you, without Yan Min, there can be the next one, but without you Xing Po, there is no next one," he said, pointing to his chest, where is the location of the heart.
Xing Ling is one of the few people who knows Xing Po's pure heart, and naturally knows the concerns of the sect, he must not die.
"But Senior Brother Yan Min is still the son of the head of the sect, his identity is much more expensive than mine, and I don't see what he is afraid of, and he doesn't walk around outside, how can he be like me, cowering in the sect..." Thinking of this, Xing Po suddenly lost his appetite.
"You two are different," Xing Ling's appetite is excellent, "Yan Min is cultivated as the next head, and he has ten heart eyes, and people can protect themselves, but what about you?"
"I..." Xing Po bit his chopsticks.
"You are stronger than Yan Min, that is, the sect is fancy to talent, but unfortunately your cultivation is still a little worse now, when you are promoted to the Yuan Infant, it is estimated that this continent will be able to run around casually," Xing Ling licked his lips, "Moreover, didn't I let you come over now? Have fun, play enough, go back to cultivation." โ
"Then you have to take me to the Demon Beast Forest for a good walk, I came here in March, and I'll go back in the winter!" Xing Po saw that he was eating deliciously, and he also started to move.
"Okay!" Xing Ling nodded, "I promise you have a good time!"

The cave mansion prepared by Xing Ling for Mo Ghost is close to the east of the city, where there are spiritual veins passing underground, and it is not a spiritual vein with abundant spiritual energy, but with the addition of the formation, it is enough to advance to the late stage of Jindan.
"A number three, this is it. Huang Gong handed the dark token to Mo Ghost.
"Open the door," Mo Ghost put away the token, this one is the token of the cave where the retreat is located, there is only one, and the other two belong to Huang Gong and Cheng Xiaoman.
"Yes," Huang Gong put the token in the groove on the door, only to hear a 'click', the door was opened, he stepped forward to push the door open, and asked Mo Ghost to enter, before turning around and taking the token down and closing the door.
The courtyard at the eye is not big, but it is by no means small, after all, it is located on the spiritual veins in the city, and every inch of land is gold.
Directly facing the gate, there are three rooms side by side, the leftmost room, the door is engraved with a formation, it is a one-way formation, as long as the formation is opened from the inside, the outside cannot be opened, I think it is where the retreat cave is located.
Mo Ghost walked straight over and pushed open the door, which was no different from an ordinary room, except that there was a door to a secret room on the wall facing it.
"Senior..." Huang Gong followed.
"This is my retreat place, let's go and take a look at the side," Mo Ghost finished speaking, and the little fox had already jumped off her shoulder, came to the middle room, pushed the door open and entered.
"This doesn't seem to be a place to sleep!" the little fox looked around, it was more like a place for hospitality, it looked to the room on the right, it was a normal room, yes, "No, the left side is for retreat, and the right side is for the two of you, so where do I go?"
"This..." Huang Gong was speechless, maybe when the city lord Xing was thinking about it, he didn't count a spirit beast at all, "Why don't I build another one on the open space next to me?"
"Alright, you have to do what I like!" the little fox's eyes lit up.
Seeing that the little fox was attracted, Mo Ghost walked into the room on the left alone, closed the door, opened the formation on the door of the house, and the runes on the four walls were suddenly revealed, and they were full of brilliance.
It seems that the beast control faction still used a lot of effort to build Xiling City.
Because of the peculiarity here, there are a mix of disciples stationed there, and there are many monks who need to retreat and advance to the higher ranks, and then returning to the sect will not be worth the losses, so they will choose to rent such a cave for retreat.
And on the street where this kind of cave house is located, there is a team of monks patrolling every hour, and the safety of the monks must be guaranteed.
There are monks in the city lord's mansion outside, and there is a burning formation inside, as soon as this one-way formation is opened, the whole room will be shrouded under it, and it is impossible to break through without making some movement, and this is only the first formation.
Mo Ghost pushed open the door on the wall, there was a secret passage to the underground, and with the sound of footsteps, the moonstones on both sides lit up.
At the end of the secret passage is a stone room, and when you enter here, you feel that the concentration of spiritual energy is at least twice as strong as the outside, and there is a spiritual gathering array in the middle of the place, but it has not been opened at this time, thinking that it is the material of this stone, which can gather spiritual energy without leaking out.
Mo Ghost came to the edge of the stone wall, the spiritual power penetrated into it, and the traces of the runes were mottled, which was the second formation of the stone room.
If she read it correctly, the outermost layer was a one-way array guarding the entire room, while the inner layer was a defensive array, and there was an extremely thin transparent layer between the two, which looked like it was burned together, and it was not clear to distinguish between them.
There is no need to worry too much about the safety here, Mo Ghost took out the futon, placed it in the center of the Spirit Gathering Array, and placed his own array disk around, which became the third formation.
After a short look at this place, it is indeed a rare retreat place, the reason why she chose Xiling City in the first place was the spiritual veins here, and now it really did not disappoint her, the aura is enough to support her promotion.
"You're out!"
Coming out of the secret room below, Mo Ghost saw the little fox waiting at the door, and when she came out, he jumped directly on his shoulder.
"Well, I'm going to retreat here, you stay outside, with Huang Gong and the two of them, don't make trouble, even if you suffer any grievances, wait until I get out of the customs, you know?" Mo Ghost put it in his hand and admonished.
"Got it, but you leave me some spirit stones, I want to eat Liuxiangju!" the little fox raised his paws, "I'll help you see if Huang Gong is worth staying." โ
"Oh, okay, then you have to wipe your eyes, and then it's up to you!" Mo Ghost retreat, she needs to leave someone to answer outside, and take care of the little fox by the way, which is also the reason why she temporarily left Huang Gong and the two, but I didn't expect the little fox to see it.
"Don't worry!" the little fox assured, patting his chest.
"Senior, is the environment here okay?" Huang Gong looked at the room on the right, and there was nothing missing, and when he came out with Cheng Xiaoman, he saw that Mo Ghost had come out.
"It's not bad," Mo Ghost nodded, "If nothing else, I will be in retreat for the next few months, you take good care of Xiaobai for me outside, watch it and don't let it cause trouble, everything will wait for me to come out, if there is something that can't be solved, go to the City Lord's Mansion to try." โ
"Yes, senior, rest assured. Huang Gong replied.
"Okay, you and they are outside, settle down, you know?" Mo Ghost pointed at it, took out a storage bag, and hung tens of thousands of spirit stones around the little fox's neck, which looked half the size of it.
"Hehe, I'm not at ease, aren't you worried?" The little fox checked the spirit stones, today's meal, it costs two hundred spirit stones, even if she orders so much every day, it is enough!
"Watch it!" Mo Ghost said to Huang Gong.
"Senior, don't worry, you won't let anything happen to your spirit beast," Huang Gong bowed, "Senior, below..." There is one more thing to ask for. โ
"Say it and listen to it," Mo Ghost's consciousness moved, and he probably knew what he was asking for.
"Senior, I want to carefully study the existing, poisonous spirit grass, but there was no spirit stone before, and Yu Jian couldn't buy it, not to mention the spirit grass, I thought... Borrow the spirit stones of my predecessors, and when I earn them, I will return them in full. Huang Gong was a little embarrassed, but he still opened his mouth.
It's not that he didn't notice anything, the seniors are willing to use him now, in order to take care of this spirit beast, and when the seniors get out, they won't necessarily take him with them.
If he wants to continue to follow his predecessors, he must show the ability to match, Huang Gong has carefully considered it, the only thing he can do is the ability to make drugs, he can go to his own wild path, and now it must not be enough to be by the side of his predecessors.
In the past few months of retreat, he had to do something, but whether it was to buy spirit grass or jade slips, he needed spirit stones, and his net worth was not enough to plug his teeth.
He wanted to advance the spirit stone, but it was also a helpless move.
"The storage bag is given to you, and the spirit stones inside are up to you, I never thought of taking them back," the spirit stones that Mo Ghost gave him were enough for him to buy something.
"Thank you, senior!" Huang Gong's hand clenched, and he couldn't help but cover the storage bag.
"Okay, okay, you go to retreat, I'm going to build my house!" The little fox said to Huang Gong to build a residence, "Whoever comes, come with me!"
Mo Ghost looked at their departing backs, turned around and entered the secret room.
"Spirit Beast-sama..." Cheng Xiaoman looked at Xiaobai's back with great interest, and hesitated to speak, "Can you let me..."
"What kind of spirit beast, call me Xiaobai!" the little fox patted his ears.
"Little white..." Cheng Xiaoman bit her lip, "I can build a house by myself, can I let Huang Gong go back to read the jade Jane?" she looked at the little fox's thinking, and quickly continued, "If you don't feel at ease, we'll stay here together." โ
"Forget it, then you can stay alone!" For human cultivation, this is not difficult, and the little fox doesn't want to embarrass her, so he nods and agrees.
"Thank you!" Huang Gong's heart skipped a beat.
"You hurry up, Cheng Xiaoman, come with me, my small house is going to be built..."
Xiaobai pulled Cheng Xiaoman to the place it fancied, leaving only Huang Gong alone, holding the jade slip in the storage bag that he hadn't seen yet, his heart was surging, he must follow his predecessors!
