The long time slipped away quietly, the night thickened, and there were bursts of snoring in Xiong Zhao's house, Zhou Xiaoba got up, Xiao Hei was already awake a little, and slipped out with his master.

calculated the timing, and saw that there were still people in the alley, he found a corner and wrapped Xiao Hei around his skin, separated under the back of his white shirt, his whole body was cold and swishing, and he was ready to greet the person after a while, "Auntie, are you going to the Spirit Temple?"

"You're Hachi?"

There were a total of seven people who came, all of them were women in the alley on weekdays, one of them saw his appearance and was a little skeptical, and the rest of them were about to turn around and leave when they heard it, Zhou Xiaoba hurriedly blocked them and explained, "Aunts and aunts, I heard that we have built a spiritual temple on Cangshan, and we can become immortals, and I also want to practice." ”

"So that's the case, it's much better than your uninteresting old bear, you just follow your aunt and go to the Spirit Temple, it will definitely open your eyes. ”

After listening to his words, another woman spoke, and pulled him to her side as she spoke, but the woman seemed to have touched some hard iron weapon, her face changed suddenly, but she was quickly pressed down again, and said slowly, "Xiaoba, what is your hard thing, can you let the aunt see it?"

"Uh, it's actually nothing, it's just a trick played by children, I bought it for three taels of silver, how about it, is it cost-effective?"

Zhou Xiaoba didn't think much about it, he turned his hand and took down the Biluo Sword, quietly infiltrated the scabbard with the aura, and tightly combined the sword body with it, under the control of his own aura, the strength of this group of aunts could not pull out the Biluo Sword at all, and handed it over as he spoke, and the eyes of the group of people were attracted for a while.

The aunt who said that she wanted to see the sword was pulled out for a while, but she didn't pull it out, and she looked a little angry, "Xiaoba, why can't you pull out this sword." ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they didn't believe it, and a few of them pulled it together, dragging the scabbard at one end and pulling the hilt on the other, and after three or four quarters of an hour, the sword still didn't move.

"What's going on!"

"It's ......"

"Hachi, hurry up and pull it out for us. ”

......

Zhou Xiaoba smiled secretly, the folk customs of the alley people are really simple, as long as there are some strange rumors, whether it is true or not, they all believe it, no wonder a few monks have been deceived, or there will be other reasons.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to explain, "Aunts, aunts, I just said that this sword is a child's trick, and it can't be pulled out at all, otherwise, how could it be bought for three taels of silver!"

"Well, that's right, then let's go quickly, lest we miss the hour, and then it will be difficult. ”

"Let's go, Hachi!"

As soon as Zhou Xiaoba put the sword on his back, an aunt pulled him forward quickly, obviously letting go of his previous doubts, and several women pulled him along the way, not at all, but made Zhou Xiaoba feel weird.

After all, Zhou Xiaoba had done a lot of "bad things" in the early years, and in addition to these aunts' meals and tea, whether it was scolding or talking, his name was basically indispensable. This has become a normal phenomenon, and gradually his personal image is deeply ingrained in the alley, and now the attitude of these aunts is really unacceptable to him, and he can only support himself.

......

After about half an hour, several people reached the foot of the mountain, and the fog that filled the surrounding area became thicker and thicker as the night deepened, and the group walked shoulder to shoulder when they came to the mountain, for fear of getting lost in the fog.

"Hey, auntie, how long do we have to go!" Zhou Xiaoba looked tired, pretending to be out of breath, and asked everyone.

"Don't worry, it's coming in two hours, rush before noon, the holy monks in the spiritual temple will distribute spiritual water, you can practice after drinking it, and you can increase your cultivation. ”

The women around Zhou Xiaoba explained, and they were very happy, but they didn't know that they didn't take it to heart at all.

"Oops!"

At this time, he screamed in pain, the soreness on the soles of his feet, as if he had stepped on some hard object, and almost fell over, and as soon as he lowered his head, he found an oval stone lying on the ground, and quickly picked it up while a few people were not paying attention.

In the next second, there was a group of condolences, Zhou Xiaoba prevaricated to cover up the past, looking at the dark gray round stone in his hand, he always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it.

Through the fog in the night, through the rare moonlight, just as he was trying to observe the stone, Xiao Hei in his arms suddenly felt restless, and it took him a while to press Xiao Hei's abnormality down, and when he looked at the stone again, there were faint dried blood stains on it, and suddenly shouted, "I remember!"

Hearing this, the pedestrian turned his head, his eyes full of doubts, "Xiaoba, who are you talking to?"

"No, no, is it that the aunt and aunt heard it wrong? ”

"That's weird!"

When several people heard his explanation, they couldn't help but wonder, they heard a man shouting just now, and he was the only one who was a man again, could it be that he really saw the hell?

But in a hurry, the group didn't ask what the hell was not a ghost, that is, just think about it, not only did they not feel terrible, but they disdained this ghost idea.

Since the construction of the Spirit Temple, the entire alley has been sheltered, not to mention that there is a sneak at the foot of the mountain below the Spirit Temple, which is impossible at all, obviously many people think so, Zhou Xiaoba did not explain much, and continued to follow a few people.

Taking advantage of the fact that a few people were not paying attention, he quietly took out the stone and fell into deep thought, when he was in the marching carriage, Zhou Xiaoba personally saw the stone in Qin Xianglin's arms, and the two stones were clearly the same in terms of hue and shape.

Could it be that the head of the Qin family has encountered an accident?

Zhou Xiaoba looked at the few drops of dried blood on the stone, and couldn't help but worry, although he was not angry with Qin Xianglin on weekdays, he could relieve boredom when he was bored, that is, he usually nagged people.

No matter what, Qin Xianglin came out with him, if something went wrong, he couldn't explain it when he returned to the army, at this time Zhou Xiaoba could only pray secretly, hoping that the Qin family's master Ji Ren would have his own natural appearance.

Qin Xianglin is already in the transcendent realm, if he encounters a horse thief, he should not have an accident, in the horse thief's den on the mountainside on the other side of Cangshan, these horse thieves are only robbing things at most, and rarely kill them, whether it is looting Lane 72 or hijacking pedestrians passing by.

To put it bluntly, the Qin family master is timid, as long as he hands over something valuable when he encounters a horse thief, he will be released, not to mention that even if he doesn't know that the other party is a horse thief, the horse thief will shout when he grabs something, Qin Xianglin can't not know, so with the character of the Qin family master, he will definitely hand over the property, but looking at the current situation, this method is not like a horse thief.

Monk! Must be a monk!

At this moment, he was extremely sure of this idea, if the Qin family master was captured by the monk, then it must be related to the disappearance of the rest of the alley people, thinking that he kicked the stone into his arms, only by arriving at the Spirit Temple earlier, could he find out the truth earlier.

"Plop!" A sound came, Zhou Xiaoba's feet slipped, and he fell directly to the ground, caught off guard, making him eat a mouthful of dust, his knees were also sore, and he grabbed the white jade bottle that made him stumble with one hand, and he had already greeted Qin Xianglin's ancestors one by one in his heart.

Undoubtedly, what did he confirm that the white jade bottle containing the elixir was also Qin Xianglin's thing, but there was still most of the elixir in the bottle, if he really met a horse thief, the stone would be thrown away as a waste, and the treasure of the elixir would definitely not fall.

Thinking about it, he was even more sure of what he thought in his heart, Qin Xianglin must not have encountered a horse thief.
