Xiling City, located in the northwest of the Yunhai Continent and the periphery of the Demon Beast Forest in the south, together with Beiling City, is known as the two major towns that protect the Demon Beast Forest, and is under the control of the Beast Control Faction, and the selection of the city lord has always been selected from the affiliated families within the Beast Control Faction.

It stands to reason that Xing Ling's identity is not qualified enough, because of Xing Po's birth that year.

At the moment when Xing Po was born, the spirit beasts of the entire Xing family rioted, attracting the attention of the elders of the clan.

The Beast Control Sect also sent monks to check, and after many investigations, it was finally determined that Xing Po was an extremely rare pure heart, born close to demon beasts, and had a unique advantage in subduing demon beasts.

In order to protect him and let him grow up steadily, he only said to the outside world that his mind was pure, and he could lower the vigilance of the demon beast slightly, and there was no other news coming out.

With such a treasure, the Beast Control Sect naturally wanted to hold it firmly in his hands, and wanted him to grow up directly in the sect and have a greater sense of belonging, so he made an exchange with the Xing family and gave him the position of the city lord of Xiling City for the next hundred years.

Xing Po came from the lineage, but at that time, the main branch was in a state of decline, and if it weren't for his birth, the position of patriarch would probably be banned.

Prior to this, only the Eighth Elder clearly expressed his support, and because of this, almost all the manpower was used to sort out the Xing family's internal affairs, and there were no extra candidates available in the lineage, so Xing Ling was launched in desperation.

At that time, he was only in the middle of Jindan, but he was the only monk with enough status, and the Xing family hired three elders from the Yuan Infant Stage to protect him, so he stayed in peace for so many years.

"Senior Lin, are we going in like this?" Huang Gong took Cheng Xiaoman and followed behind Mo Ghost.

"Since Xing Ling said to let you go, I won't be embarrassed anymore, even if you don't follow me in the future, you can enter the city with confidence. After knowing that it was Xing Ling who had been embarrassing Huang Gong, Mo Ghost didn't worry anymore.

He has managed Xiling City for so many years, and his actions seem absurd, but he is also very disciplined, the whole city is orderly, and there is no basket, which shows that he still has some city government.

As far as these two people are concerned, they don't have any substantial impact, and it doesn't matter if they let them go, since they gave Mo Ghost this face, and promised to open up the net, they won't make any small moves behind his back, there is no need.

"It's better for the two of us to follow our seniors," Huang Gong said quietly.

"Which restaurant in this city has better spiritual food?" Mo Ghost walked on the streets of the city, which had exactly the same layout as Beiling City, and the roles of each area were similar, and it looked quite familiar.

"I want meat!" the little fox squatted on his shoulder, his eyes shining, "I haven't eaten anything all the way." ”

"Xiling City is so close to the Demon Beast Forest, there are many kinds of meat in almost every restaurant, and the most delicious one is Liuxiangju," Huang Gong also hunted demons in the Demon Beast Forest before, but occasionally came to Xiling City to trade, and he knew a thing or two about it.

"It's just that the price is a little expensive," Huang Gong only ate there once, and he was rewarded to himself when he successfully built the foundation.

"What smell?" the little fox's nose twitched, and the entire upper body stood up.

"It is the bone broth of Liuxiangju, which is naturally boiled by the earth fire without using the formation, and it takes three days and three nights to boil it naturally, and the aroma is fragrant, as long as you enter the store, you will send a bowl to each person. Huang Gong smelled this, and his saliva couldn't help but flow down.

"Let's go here!" the little fox patted Mo Ghost on the shoulder, "Hurry up!"

"What's the hurry? There are three floors of Xiangju this day, and the seats are not full," Mo Ghost looked at it from a distance, there were indeed many people, but there were also many seats.

"I'm hungry!" said the little fox aggrievedly.

"Senior Lin, let Xiaoman go in with you, I'll go to the cave rental office to have a look, and first set up a retreat place for you. Huang Gong secretly patted Cheng Xiaoman, and then saluted.

"Okay," Mo Ghost glanced at him, and the character adapted quite quickly.

"Then I'll go to Liuxiangju to find you later," Huang Gong nodded slightly, and was about to leave, but he was bound by a burst of spiritual power, and there was an extra storage bag in his hand.

"Don't be stingy with spirit stones. After Mo Ghost finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.

"Yes, senior!" Needless to say, Huang Gong didn't dare to set a low-level cave, took the storage bag and took a cursory look, only to feel that his hands were a little shaky.

He subconsciously tightened the mouth of the bag, wanting to put it in his arms and hide it, but the moment he put it on his chest, he stopped and pinched the hanging chain.

Thinking of this, he straightened the chain, hung it on his belt, and walked to the rental place with his feet up.

"This guest officer, what kind of cave do you want, how long do you want to rent it, and I will help you advise if you say it?" Before he could step in, a small servant walked out of the store, and he didn't despise his dress, and the smile on his face seemed to be a template.

"Find a retreat cave for my master, the highest level, tentatively set for a year. Huang Gong said politely, and he didn't become complacent because he followed a high-ranking monk.

"Tell me about this fellow Daoist, what level of monk is it?" The smile on the little guy's face became more real when he heard this, this order was completed, and he could also get a lot of spirit stones, "The highest-level cave mansion we have here is also divided into cultivation." ”

"In the middle of Jindan," there is nothing to hide, Huang Gong said truthfully.

The little guy's smile suddenly froze, "Jindan mid-stage?" He looked the monk up and down, "Your Excellency is Huang Gong?"

"How did you find out?" Huang Gong's heart jumped, and he immediately became vigilant.

"Don't worry, Daoyou, the city lord came here a few days ago to order, and he has already booked a cave for that senior," the little guy was disappointed in his heart, the spirit stone was gone, but he cheered up and befriended this Huang Daoyou, "Boss!"

The boss, who had been in front of the counter, also heard the conversation between the two and took down three tokens from the board in the back, "This fellow Daoist, give you the token." ”

"This..." Huang Gong hesitated.

"Daoyou must accept it, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the city lord, and you can also be considerate and considerate of us," the boss sent the token to him, "What's more, this cave mansion is the most suitable for the middle stage of Jindan, and the location is good, it is the closest to the city lord's mansion, and there is no problem with safety." ”

"I don't know how many spirit stones I want, I'll pay you first," Huang Gong arched his hand.

"You can torture me, today I received the spirit stone, and tomorrow I have to leave from here," the boss put his hand on the token, "The dark one is the token of the retreat cave, and the light one is the token of the courtyard, and the address is also written on it, you take it." ”

"Then thank you here," Huang Gong held the token, thought for a moment, and accepted it.

"Why do you have to say thank you, this is all the arrangement of the city lord, and we have repeatedly told us to pay attention to it, and we must give this courtyard to the hands of our seniors," the boss smiled on his face, "You, just speak for us." ”

"The boss can rest assured that he will definitely bring the words. He had seen this boss a few times, all of them with a cold face, and it was the first time he had seen him smile so flatteringly.

"That being the case, I'm here to wish my seniors success in their advancement. The boss nodded slightly.

"Borrow your auspicious words," Huang Gong's face couldn't see any expression, and he was thoughtful, "The seniors are still waiting for me, so I'll leave first." ”

"Huang Daoyou walks slowly. The boss made a gesture of please.

Huang Gong walked out of the rental office, holding the token in his hand, with mixed feelings in his heart, since he was born, he had not been treated so politely.

If you say that there is no uneven mood at all, it is self-deception, but Huang Gong puts his mentality very positively, not now, it does not mean that it will not work in the future, since the predecessors are willing to use him, he must seize the opportunity, as long as he can be promoted to Jindan, he has not lived in vain in this life. When the time comes, use the spirit stones he earned to make Xiaoman advance to the next level and build a foundation, and he will have no regrets.

Having made up his mind, Huang Gong walked quickly towards Liuxiangju.

"Here!" Cheng Xiaoman stood behind his senior, wearing a veil, and waved his hand when he saw Huang Gong's figure.

"How is it?" The food ordered has not yet been served, this is a little faster than Mo Ghost's estimated time, it seems that Xing Ling has made arrangements, Huang Gong didn't need to go to the cave to investigate, and came back directly.

"The city lord of Xing has already explained, so I took the token and came back directly, and it was useless to go to the spirit stone, and I hope that the seniors will not blame me. Huang Gong took the storage bag and said respectfully.

"I see," Mo Ghost scooped a bowl of soup, "You can keep the storage bag for later use." ”

"Yes," Huang Gong was prepared at this point, and there was no accident, he hung the storage bag on his waist again, and stood behind her with Cheng Xiaoman.

At this time, the dish that I had just ordered was delivered.

"Come and sit down, don't stand," Mo Ghost put a small plate for the little fox, and followed the direction it pointed, and sandwiched a piece of Babao chicken on it.

"There is a difference between master and servant, just stand here with the two of us. Huang Gong arched his hand and said.

Mo Ghost's hand paused slightly, and he glanced up at him, this person was even smarter than she thought, but in a few days, he saw the situation and put himself in the right position.

But even now, Mo Ghost has not been completely sure whether he wants to accept him under his command.

It is not so easy to raise a force, Huang Gong's loyalty, she can't be sure, but judging from his current performance, at least he is a smart person.

"Xiao Er, according to this, pack a copy and give it to me when you leave. ”

"Okay, don't worry," the waiter agreed with a smile on his face, and returned to the back kitchen with the empty tray.

The place where Mo Ghost sat was the window on the second floor, a table for six people, and there was only one person and one beast, which seemed a little empty. The dishes in front of her, she only moved a few chopsticks, then put down her hand, after many years of Bigu, she has eaten less and less.

There was a commotion downstairs, and the three of them looked over and saw a familiar figure appear on the stairs.

"Yo, isn't this Lin Daoyou?"

"City Lord Xing," Mo Ghost got up and bowed to Xing Ling who came over, not intending to explore whether his coming over was intentional or a coincidence, "I also want to thank the City Lord for giving up a cave mansion for me, thank you here." ”

"Where did you come from, isn't this what you should do?" Xing Ling sat on the opposite side of him, followed by only one Xing Tu.

"There is no tea and wine, so I will add a bowl of bone broth to the city lord," Mo Ghost took out a small bowl and poured the bone broth sent by Liuxiangju, "I see that the city lord Xing seems to be very leisurely, could it be that my news is wrong?"

"Oh?" Xing Ling seemed to be puzzled, and then suddenly realized, "Daoyou is talking about Xing Po, right? He is indeed coming, but the road is delayed, and I haven't arrived in Xiling City yet, so I can still be idle for a few days." ”

"Xing Po Daoyou is a well-known rising star in the Beast Control Sect, with outstanding talent, how could he suddenly come to Xiling City? What's going on?" asked Mo Ghost, pushing the small bowl over.

When she learned the news, it was given by Senior Bai, and the Secret Guard would regularly send her recent news.

Xing Po is coming to Xiling City, although there is no announcement, but people with a little channel can find out, since it is not a secret, it doesn't matter if you discuss it when chatting.

"Hey, Xing Po has been in the middle stage of Jindan for seven or eight years, but the barrier in the later stage has not been eyebrow-raising, and he has experienced few things, so he is a little anxious, and begged his master to come to the Demon Beast Forest to practice. Xing Ling picked up the bowl and said casually, "Just come here to have fun, it's not a big deal." ”

"Xing Po Daoyou is only in his sixties, less than seventy, at such an age, with such a cultivation, we are really ashamed. Mo Ghost agreed, and there was not much expression on his face, but it was not cold.

She wore a jade pendant on her body, which concealed her bone age, and her divine sense swept over to be more than 100 years old, not too outstanding, but her talent was not weak.

"I can't compare, but Daoyou is not, you will reach the Jindan stage before you are 100 years old, who dares to say anything about you," Xing Ling raised the small bowl and took a sip, "Well, this bone broth of Liuxiangju is as delicious as ever." ”

"Don't dare to be, Lord Xing praised falsely. Mo Ghost added another spoonful to him.

"Where is the false praise, Lin Daoyou can take it," Xing Ling wiped his mouth and said casually, "I heard that Xiaoyao has already subdued the mutated rattlesnake, I think come, Daoyou is also involved, right?"

Mo Ghost secretly raised his eyebrows, and the purpose of this coming over was finally said.

It's been more than ten days since she sent the rattlesnake back, and it's not surprising that the Beast Rider is the head snake here.

However, this snake was brought back by her, and Senior Bai will definitely keep his mouth shut, and Xiaoyao will only admit that he has surrendered the big demon, but how many people are there and who is involved, it must be kept secret, Xing Ling has this question, but she found her figure nearby and came to test it.

"Just go over and take a look, it's almost dangerous," Mo Ghost said in a deep voice, which was regarded as an admission of being there, but no matter how much there was, there was not a word.

"It's already lucky to be able to follow the past and gain knowledge, my brother Xing Po knows that he must be very envious," Xing Ling's finger tapped, "He will stay here for more than a year this time, and if he has the opportunity, he will definitely introduce him and exchange his experience." ”

"Ahem, Castle Lord..." Xing Tu was behind him, and suddenly coughed.

"Look at my memory, it's not too early, I'm here today, I've made an appointment, I really can't delay, I have the opportunity to invite Taoist friends again. Xing Ling seemed to have just reacted, and quickly got up.

"City Lord Xing is at his own convenience. Mo Ghost also got up and was stopped by Xing Ling, "Then I won't send it." ”

"Don't send it off, eat something, the spiritual food here is really good!" Xing Ling pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Farewell!"
