Today's business in the Treasure Seeking Pavilion is a little deserted.

When Meng Li came to the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, he was the only one who leaned back in his chair boredly.

Usually, even if there is no one in the store, Snake Boy will be busy at the counter, but today, he is rarely idle.

The sun poured in from the window, just shining on his body, full of leisure.

"Master Meng, welcome, welcome!"

Although he was enjoying a lazy life, when he saw the customer coming to the door, the snake boy still took the initiative to greet him.

After all, treating wealth as life is not a waste of fame.

Meng Li didn't want to waste time, so he went straight to the point and said, "Do you have any information about the ancient period here?" ”

"Ancient times?"

The snake boy was surprised: "What are you asking for?"

"Curious. ”

Meng Li said perfunctorily.

If there are no accidents, in two months, the task of clearing the wasteland will begin, and the original body of the Unbounded Small Secret Realm is the altar of the ancient period.

Snake Gongzi was puzzled: "The ancient period is a very long era, even older than the powerful Liang of the year, it was an era when martial arts had just taken shape, there was no effective means of recording, and there were not many documents left. ”

Daliang is the name of the heyday of the Northern Liang, when there was no Southern Tang Dynasty, and the history of the existence of the Liang has been more than 600 years.

In other words, the history of the ancient period is at least 600 years old.

"Do you have ancient documents here?" Meng Li was ready to dig out the silver, but the snake boy shook his head.

"Nope. He paused and said, "Friendly reminder, it's best not to think about the things of the ancient period, as far as I know, the north and the south seem to be afraid of something, and have been trying their best to hide the historical documents of the ancient period. ”

"And such a thing!"

Meng Li looked surprised, and asked again, "Then how much do you know about the secret realm?"

"What do you want to ask?"

Meng Li said, "Have you ever heard of that kind of little secret realm that is used as an altar?"

"You mean the small secret realm in the Unbounded Stone Forest?" the snake boy did not answer, and looked at Meng Li with burning eyes.

"That's right!" Meng Li nodded with a wry smile, as the most well-informed organization in Jieshui City, of course he didn't think that he would be able to hide it from the other party.

The snake boy touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "It turns out that the small secret realm in the Unbounded Stone Forest is actually the altar of the ancestors in the ancient period!"

Knock!

Meng Li knocked on the table to urge.

"Excuse me, occupational disease. The snake boy smiled awkwardly and said solemnly: "I've heard some about the altar of the ancestors. It is said that this is an altar created by the ancestors of the ancient Han Dynasty to worship the gods......"

In ancient times, the people, that is, the ancestors of the ancient Han Dynasty, believed in the gods of heaven, and in order to show their respect for the gods, they changed the small secret realm with abundant spiritual energy to the altar of the ancestors who sacrificed to the gods.

The altar of the gods was the core of culture in ancient times, and there were five sub-altars in each small secret realm.

It is pentagonal in shape, and in the center of the five altars, there is also a sacrificial palace, that is, the main sacrificial arena of the sacrificial ceremony.

From the mouth of the snake boy, Meng Li soon learned about the altar of the first god.

Although the content is not much, it has given him some understanding of the situation in the Unbounded Small Secret Realm, which may be helpful for the next wasteland opening mission.

"Check out!"

Knowing what he wanted, Meng Li prepared to check out and leave.

"Two hundred taels of silver. ”

The snake boy stretched out two fingers and smiled brightly.

He regards wealth as his life, and he is happier than anything else to earn money.

However......

"Okay, just two hundred taels, take out the silver!"

Under the stunned gaze of the snake boy, Meng Li stretched out a hand.

Fingertips hooked.

"What?" said Snake Boy, stunned.

Meng Li said: "You got the information of the Boundless Little Secret Realm from me, shouldn't you give me the intelligence fee according to the law?"

The snake boy looked at Meng Li with a look of surprise.

"Pavilion Master Meng, this account shouldn't be counted like this!"

"It really shouldn't be that way. Meng Li nodded in agreement and said, "Then let me recalculate it for you." ”

Meng Li snapped his fingers and said: "The Unbounded Small Secret Realm is opened, and the task of clearing the wasteland will be carried out in two months, you get the news of the Little Secret Realm from me, and resell it to other martial arts halls, how much profit can you make from it?" Let me calculate how many martial arts halls there are in the Boundary Water City......

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Before Meng Li could finish speaking, the snake boy interrupted him.

According to this algorithm, it is not as simple as two hundred taels of silver.

However, Meng Li was not wrong about one thing, if this information was sold by him, he could indeed make a lot of money.

Thinking of making money, the snake boy's mood improved again.

But if you want him to dig out the money......

Snake Gongzi smiled and said, "Pavilion Master Meng, I have a proposal. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

The snake boy said: "Those things at the altar of the ancestors, even if we exchange information, how about it?"

"That's ......" Meng Li touched his chin and hesitated: "Okay then, I'll suffer a loss!"

In the end, Meng Li patted his ass and walked out of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion beautifully.

Fubin Building, the first restaurant in Nancheng, the property of the Ming family.

In the evening, when Meng Li came to the Fubin Building, the building was already full.

Walking into the elegantly decorated hall of the Fubin Building, Meng Li looked around and did not see Ming Xuan and Du Mu.

At this time, a guy spotted him, trotted over and said, "Objectively, do you want to eat?"

Fubin Building, as the first restaurant in the south of the city, in addition to the restaurant where Meng Li is at this time, there is also a hotel with a courtyard behind, and its scale is much better than that of the rich inn.

Meng Li said: "It was Ming Xuan who asked me to come." ”

"It turned out to be my son-in-law's honored guest!"

When the guy heard this, he exclaimed, and hurriedly said: "My son-in-law has already explained just now, if there is a distinguished guest to look for him, you can go directly to the second floor." I'll send your guest upstairs. ”

The service of Fubin Building was indeed in place, but Meng Li was used to being free and stopped the guy who was about to go upstairs.

"No, I'll just go up myself. ”

persuaded the guy to retire, Meng Li went straight to the second floor.

Fubin Building, a total of only two floors, the first floor is a restaurant, is a place for ordinary guests to eat and drink, the second floor is a private room seat, is the place where the literati of Jieshui City are elegant.

Different from the lively scene on the first floor, the environment on the second floor is more elegant, and there is only one table on the entire floor, and there are two people sitting at the table, it is Mingxuan and Du Mu.

"Brother Meng!"

Ming Xuan saw Meng Li and waved his hand.

Meng Li stepped forward: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. ”

"Out of the way, we've just arrived. ”

Mingxuan stood up and pointed to the steaming wine and food on the table, indicating that he was not lying.

Du Mu got up and clenched his fists.

"Brother Meng Li, long time no see!"

Du Mu is a typical person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, although he will give people a feeling of indifference, but his character is not arrogant.

The crowd took their seats.

Meng Li said: "Everyone is here!"

Ming Xuan smiled: "Zhou Wei hasn't arrived yet?"

Meng Li said unexpectedly: "Zhou Wei has also returned to Jieshui City?"

"To be precise, he's never left Boundary Water City. Ming Xuan said with a smile: "Do you know about the cooperation between Shengxuan Valley and the city defense army?"

"I've heard about some. ”

When he was in the martial arts assessment before, Meng Li had heard Zhou Wei mention this matter, and he didn't pay much attention to it at that time.

Ming Xuan said: "Zhou Wei came to Jieshui City before, not only to participate in the martial arts assessment, but also to complete the tasks under the sect. ”

"Patrol mission?"

"That's right!" An unusually loud voice came from downstairs, and everyone looked for the sound, and saw Zhou Wei, who was dressed in iron armor, slowly walking up from the stairs.

"It's late, it's late, hahahaha......"

Zhou Wei, who was dressed in armor, held a helmet with red feathers, strode into a meteor, and came to everyone in a few steps.

"Brothers, I'm sorry, I'll punish myself first!"

Under the stunned expressions of everyone, Zhou Wei picked up a glass of wine and drank it all.

Meng Li had a surprised look in his eyes.

It's only been a long time since I've seen him, and Zhou Wei gives him the feeling that he seems to have changed a person.

"Brother Zhou, how are you doing?"

Zhou Wei heard his voice and said with a wry smile: "If you stay in the barracks for a long time, you will inevitably be affected." ”

After participating in the patrol mission, Zhou Wei learned that the military camp and the sect were two completely different worlds.

If you want to be like a fish in water in the army, you must integrate into it, and there is no way for him to do this.

But it seems to be good to live spontaneously.

"Someone has successfully transitioned to simple-mindedness and well-developed limbs. ”

Du Muzui had a poisonous attack, which damaged Zhou Wei's sentence.

Zhou Wei laughed, not impressed, but looked at Meng Li and said, "I heard that you have been in trouble recently." ”

Meng Li looked at Ming Xuan, who shook his head, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.

"How do you know?" Meng Li looked at Zhou Wei with a puzzled gaze.

He's been in trouble lately, and he's in big trouble.

Zhou Wei said in a deep voice: "Before I came, Commander Xue told me personally. ”

"That old man!"

The young man suddenly realized and smiled bitterly: "What else did he say?"

Zhou Wei put down his chopsticks and said with a serious expression: "He said that you did a good job, didn't let him work in vain, and asked you to keep a low profile, lest the other party jump off the wall in a hurry." ”

"Okay, I'll take notice. ”

Meng Li nodded, and Xue Bawu's reminder coincided with his thoughts.

Now, Feng Yu is in charge of the Jianjing Mansion alone, and because of the perfect legal system of the Southern Tang Dynasty, although he can't make a move against himself, if the other party wants to break the net, he will be the first to be unlucky.

The atmosphere in the banquet was a little heavy, Ming Xuan changed the topic and asked Meng Li, "Have you read the Hundred Broken Sword Technique?"

Meng Li smiled bitterly: "I took a look before I came, and the help was limited. ”

Although the Hundred Broken Sword Technique was a good second-grade sword technique, it did not allow Meng Li to raise his power to another level.

At most, he can be more calm when fighting with the martial artists at the peak of the Seven Forgings.

Meng Li's wry smile suddenly reminded Ming Xuan of the scene when he saw him in the Wooden Sword Martial Arts Pavilion that day.

"You're still working on talismans?"

Hearing the word "talisman", Du Mu shuddered as if he remembered some painful experience.

"I advise you, this thing is a talisman, if you can, you won't touch it. ”

Meng Li saw the sincerity in Du Mu's eyes, and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to if I can, but I have no way out now." ”

Spending energy on talisman making was certainly not the result Meng Li wanted.

Ming Xuan asked, "How are you learning?"

"Not ideal. Meng Li's face was full of bitterness.

His current situation is not only not ideal, it is simply hopeless.

"I'm in dire need of a talisman teacher. Meng Li added.

Ming Xuan pondered for a moment and hesitated, "Maybe I can help you find one." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Meng Li, but at Du Mu.

Du Mu frowned and said, "Cousin, you don't want to ......"

Ming Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I thought, I just don't know if her old man will agree." ”

Du Mu said: "I should agree, but ......"

He suddenly looked at Meng Li, his eyes full of pity.

Meng Li, who was originally planning to be happy, was cold all over his body, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Who is the talisman teacher you want to introduce me to?"

"You'll know when the time comes!"

The time together is always short.

After they had eaten and drunk, the four of them went their separate ways.
