After lunch, Xu Qinghou walked alone on the mountain road, and after slowly digesting first, he went to a cave on a hill to practice swords, which was his habit all along.

He was once born in Zhong Mingding's family, but his family fell into the middle of the road when he was young, and his father died tragically in prison, leaving nothing but the name he chose for himself. Mother took her to live in desolation, and finally met her benefactor, not only brought herself to the Sword Sect and successfully got started, but also found an easy and stable job for her mother in Dayi Town under the mountain.

Knowing that his talent is not particularly outstanding, Xu Qinghou redoubles his efforts and cultivates diligently every day, and he can be regarded as an upper-middle level in the second grade.

At this time, many disciples would sleep peacefully for a while during their lunch break, and he also had to hurry up his cultivation.

Walking to the mouth of a cave, Xu Qinghou walked in with a familiar car, which was the place where he practiced his sword at noon every day.

When he arrived on the flat ground inside, he found a man standing inside, and in a frightened state, he unsheathed his sword and shouted, "Who is here?"

The man turned around quietly, and Xu Qinghou was surprised and delighted, "Engong?!"

The man put his index finger to his mouth, "Shhhhh

Xu Qinghou said softly: "Engong, why are you here?"

The man smiled slightly, "Come and see you, how is your cultivation progressing recently?"

Xu Qinghou said: "It's not very soon, it disappointed Engong." ”

The man patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's already good, I heard that you are about to start the group trial?"

Xu Qinghou said: "Well, but I know my own strength, and the Wu Sword Stone will definitely not have my share." ”

"How can you say that, my monks, who are already going against the sky, how can they be cowardly before fighting!" the man was a little dissatisfied.

Xu Qinghou hurriedly said: "What Engong taught me is that I must work hard and strive for a good ranking." ”

The man was relieved: "That's right, if you don't have this heart, I can't help you." ”

Xu Qinghou's eyes lit up, "Can Engong help me?"

In his mind, his benevolent father is omnipotent, and everything he has is thanks to him, and he is very excited to hear that his benevolent father wants to help him.

The man nodded, "You've done a good job for more than a year, and I appreciate you, so I don't want you to miss such a big opportunity as the Sword Stone." ”

Xu Qinghou lifted his robe and knelt down on his knees, "Thank you so much." ”

The man helped him up, "It's up to you whether this is successful or not, the opportunity is rare, you must grasp it, if you miss this time, the road is hopeless!"

Xu Qinghou solemnly said yes.

The man said, "I have a mantra here to teach you, this mantra can be used by the soul beasts in it for a short time, but in order not to be discovered by the people who monitor the trial, you only have one chance to change shifts at night, and the time will not exceed a quarter of an hour." What do you think you can do with it?"

Xu Qinghou lowered his head and thought quietly, the man did not urge, and after a while, Xu Qinghou's eyes lit up again, "Rob?"

The man nodded, "You can teach." ”

Xu Qinghou was encouraged and began to refine his plan.

"That is, on the evening of the next day, after two days, a lot of soul crystals have been collected, and at the same time, they are more or less tired or injured, and when the army of soul beasts rushes up, those people can only crush the jade card, and then I can go and clean up the battlefield. ”

The man said, "It's important who you surround, you can't surround everybody." ”

Xu Qinghou nodded, yes, if you want to get it, you have to make it big, who is it, is it difficult to get Zheng Fulong's group?

The man asked, "Is there a goal?"

Xu Qinghou had a flash of inspiration in his mind, there is!

-----------------------------------------------

"If it's done, you can write the name you want on it. ”

In a hidden mountain forest, a woman took out a letter of appointment from the Cui Elder Hall appointing the deacon of the Shu State Branch and gently handed it to Cui Gu.

Cui Gu looked at the fluttering piece of paper with burning eyes, and the longing that he couldn't hide kept his eyes on the woman's right hand.

Qinghe Cui's huge industry and power need to be managed by many talents.

According to the division of the Daduan Dynasty, the Cui family also changed its industry to a pattern with each prince and king as the branch, Tianjing City as the headquarters, and the Cui family as the core.

Shu has been prosperous since ancient times, and the Shu branch is second only to the Tianjing City and the Wu branch in the Cui clan, and the weight is extremely heavy.

Each branch has a superintendent, an associate superintendent, and five deacons.

One can imagine how much power and weight this deacon's chair has.

Cui Gu was born in a side branch and was named a relative of the Cui family, but in fact, he was never taken seriously by the Cui family.

For that letter of sponsorship, his parents exhausted the last trace of incense.

It's a pity that he doesn't stand out in the sect, and even he himself has doubted the possibility of really getting ahead by cultivation.

If he hadn't felt the luxury and scenery enjoyed by the Cui family, maybe he could have spent his life with peace of mind.

Although it is a side branch, the family background is quite solid, and it is already an unattainable life for most ordinary people to mix up in the three realms and four realms.

But helplessly, he had seen it and felt it before, so he was unwilling.

As the saying goes, if I had never seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.

Cui Gu knew very well that if he wanted to obtain such benefits, the price he had to pay would inevitably be huge.

So he tried to hide his excitement, "What do you need me to do?"

The woman looked at Cui Gu deeply and said, "I am entrusted by the eldest prince, and the future eldest prince hopes that you can become his cronies." ”

The eldest son, the eldest son of the Cui family, Cui He.

The other party threw out such a big pie, but Cui Gu was silent at the moment, waiting for the woman to get to the point.

The woman nodded slightly at Cui Gu's composure, "I have three talismans here, which were drawn when the prestige of Sixiang Mountain was at its peak, and each talisman was equivalent to the full blow of the peak monks of the Three Realms. The eldest prince wants you to be able to enter the top three. ”

The woman paused, "At the same time, the eldest prince doesn't want the eldest lady to enter. ”

Cui Gu said in horror: "You want me to kill the eldest lady?!!"

The woman sneered and said, "Can you kill you? Do you dare? Killing is the most direct and stupid way, why does the eldest lady keep pressing the eldest son, isn't it because the old ancestor takes a fancy to her talent? If a genius cannot be called a genius, why should she enjoy the glory in the name of a genius? If she is like you, what face is worthy of the old ancestor's blue eyes?"

Cui Gu's face struggled, knowing that such an opportunity would only come once, so he finally gritted his teeth, sweated, and nodded heavily.

--------------------------------------

Shi Wei, a disciple who had already opened up his own cave mansion in the Sword Sect, walked down the mountain, came to Dayi Town, found an ordinary restaurant, asked for a private room to sit down, ordered a few spicy and fragrant side dishes, ordered a pot of wine, and ate and drank by himself.

A middle-aged man pushed the door in, pulled out the stool and sat down, picked up chopsticks to eat, and poured himself a few glasses.

After a little enjoyment, the middle-aged man sighed: "The food here is spicy and spicy, and it is indeed better than ours." ”

Shi Wei sighed lightly, "After staying for a long time, I still think about the bite at home." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, "It's almost there, wait for another two or three years." ”

Shi Wei raised his eyebrows, "Have eyebrows?"

"Guess. The middle-aged man spread his hands, "I don't know, and I don't dare to ask." ”

"Hey, there's something that can get you going. After a sigh, Shi Wei took a bite of food and asked casually.

The middle-aged man's expression changed to extremely serious, he lowered his voice, and gestured a number in his hand, "This person has secretly run to the Sword Sect." ”

Shi Wei's hand holding a piece of fish meat paused in the air, and without paying attention, the fish meat shattered, fell into the basin, and splashed a few drops of red soup and fell on Shi Wei's mountain-patterned brocade robe.

Immediately after the middle-aged man's words, he was even more head-picked.

"The master has spoken, and he can't be allowed to go back alive. ”

Shi Wei calmed down, drank three glasses of wine in a row, and said with a mouthful of wine: "They just had a trial the day after tomorrow." ”
