Chapter 1332: Two Months
In fact, Dr. Chen was very sure in his heart that if the superior steward really found that middle-aged man, even if he had nothing to do with Xuanju's disappearance, I am afraid that there was little chance of survival. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because he also has a little black bird on him, a little black bird full of spirituality.
How could such a strange beast not be able to see with the eyes of a superior steward?
The best result is that the superior steward takes away the little black bird, disdains to kill, and spares the life of the middle-aged man, and the worst result is to lose his life.
However, compared with himself and the lives of his relatives, he would choose to expose the fact that the middle-aged man had a strange beast and save himself and his relatives, and there was no way, this is human nature.
So Dr. Chen told the superior steward about the situation.
"A strange beast full of spirits, what level is it in your judgment?" asked the senior steward after hearing this.
"At least superior. Dr. Chen didn't dare to hide it.
"At least a high-grade alien beast?, that is, there is a great chance to break through and become a 'spirit beast', you found out about such an important thing, and you didn't report it?" asked the senior steward coldly.
"My subordinates know that they are wrong, and please listen to my explanation. Before the senior steward could speak, Doctor Chen hurriedly said, "At that time, the main masters were concentrated in the courtyard outside the city where the 'Beast Fairy Grass' was stored, and the person who had the little black bird didn't seem to be weak, and I usually didn't have any masters in this medicine shop, even if I had any thoughts, there was no way." Later, when Steward Xuan also noticed it, he thought that he would deal with this matter, and he was lucky, so he didn't care, which was a dereliction of duty on his subordinates. ”
The senior steward stared at Dr. Chen for a long time before he said lightly: "Now is not the time to investigate whether you have reported or not, when I find Xuanju, it will naturally be clear whether your words are true or false." ”
"The subordinates don't dare to lie. Dr. Chen said with sincere fear.
No matter how he said that he has lived for so many years, he is also an old man, he knows that he absolutely cannot tell the truth, and once he tells the truth, then I am afraid the end will be very miserable.
Because he was intent on letting Huang Xiao go at that time, this was a betrayal for the villa, and this crime was not something he could afford.
Therefore, now that he is true and false, he is interjecting the truth and falsehood, so that the superior steward cannot judge the truth or falsehood at once.
It is true that Huang Xiao has a little black bird, and he is extremely spiritual, this is true, he can't deceive the superior steward, after all, when the senior steward finds the middle-aged man and sees the little black bird, it will be clear.
And he is very familiar with these strange beasts, and the levels of these strange beasts are naturally clear, if he is still sloppy with the superior steward, it is self-defeating.
As for his statement that he thought Xuanju had noticed it and that Xuanju would deal with it, he lied, because what he told Xuanju at the time was that it was just a relatively ordinary beast.
By deceiving the superior steward in this way, he could be fooled for the time being, but it left a huge hidden danger.
As long as Xuanju is found, I am afraid that my words will not be right at that time, and I am afraid that it will be bad at that time.
Dr. Chen never thought that he was now in such a crisis.
Originally, this matter was very secret, as long as no one knew, no one investigated it, it was nothing at all, and it was over, but who would have thought that Xuanju would be missing, which led to the subsequent things completely beyond his ability to solve.
"I hope he never comes back!" Dr. Chen could only pray secretly.
In fact, in his heart, Xuanju has been missing for so many days for no reason, and there is no news at all, I am afraid that he was killed.
This is definitely a good thing for him, as soon as Xuanju dies, there is no proof of death.
Even if he takes some responsibility, he can afford it.
"That wouldn't be wrong, it looks like he's tracking the man. The senior steward nodded.
No one knew where Xuanju went, and Dr. Chen's words could be regarded as clearing his doubts.
"How is that man's strength compared to Xuanju?" asked the senior steward again.
Doctor Chen shook his head and said, "My lord, you know that my subordinates don't know much martial arts, and that person doesn't use martial arts, so my subordinates can't see it." However, Manager Xuan is a master of the 'Half-Step Martial Realm', so there is no problem in thinking about it. I haven't come back for so many days, maybe something has delayed. ”
The superior steward did not dwell on this question any longer, but asked, "Do you know the direction or destination of the man?"
Doctor Chen still shook his head and said, "Although I'm not sure where that person went, but looking at his appearance, he should be going to Huangzhou." ”
"Huangzhou?" the senior steward nodded and said, "The period of Huangzhou's competition for the list is coming, it is normal for this person to go to Huangzhou, it seems that this matter has something to do with this person, if you find this person, you may be able to find Xuanju, you find someone to come and describe the portrait of that person." ”
Dr. Chen did not dare to hesitate, and quickly sent someone to find the best painter in the city.
Then, under the description of Dr. Chen, the painter quickly drew a portrait of a human head.
"Is this the man?" asked the senior steward, picking up the portrait and looking at it.
"It's him. Dr. Chen nodded.
The portrait on this portrait is the easy Huang Xiao, and the appearance is extremely consistent with Huang Xiao's appearance, and the level of this painter is not low.
"Follow this portrait and draw a few more. The senior steward said.
After listening to the words of the superior steward, the painter turned his head to look at Dr. Chen.
The painter can see that the middle-aged man in front of him is not an ordinary person, but he has to calculate the money for painting one by himself, and he has to make it clear first, he was invited by Dr. Chen, and he has to discuss with Dr. Chen.
When Dr. Chen saw the appearance of the painter, he knew it in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Let you paint, you can paint, and then I will give you a hundred taels for each copy of it." ”
Hearing this, the painter's face was happy, a hundred taels is definitely a high price, although his paintings are very good, but they have not yet been able to become a generation of famous artists, and the price of each painting is not very high. Even if it was a painstaking work that he spent ten days and half a month to create, I am afraid that it would only be a few hundred and twenty-one, and now it is just a simple copying of the portrait, which is simply too simple, so he quickly spread out the paper and began to copy.
Half an hour later, the artist copied more than a dozen portraits at once.
After letting the painter leave, the superior steward said to Dr. Chen, "Give these portraits to the spies of the villa, and let them send someone out to find out the whereabouts of this man." ”
Seeing that Dr. Chen was a little hesitant, he added another sentence: "Say it is what I mean." ”
"Yes, sir. Dr. Chen said hurriedly.
In the name of the superior steward, he can also use the power of these secret agents, otherwise he, a person who is not even a low-level steward, has no right to issue tasks to the secret agents.
"My lord, aren't you staying here?" saw the senior steward walking outside, and Dr. Chen hurriedly shouted.
"I personally went to Huangzhou to look for them, and after they found their traces, they reported to me in the direction of Huangzhou. After the superior steward finished speaking, he left Dr. Chen's pharmacy.
After the senior steward left, the fat man Yang didn't know when he appeared in front of Dr. Chen.
"Lao Chen, thanks to you this time, you provided clues about Steward Xuan, as long as you can find Steward Xuan, we will probably be fine. Yang Fatzi said with palpitations.
The words of the superior steward just now frightened him and fainted directly.
Later, although he woke up, he did not dare to come any closer, and fortunately the superior steward did not take himself to heart, and he did not dare to come out until the superior steward left.
"What the final result will be, we can only wait until Steward Xuan finds it. However, we still have violations this time, and punishment is still indispensable, so you have to be mentally prepared. Dr. Chen sighed.
Yang Fatzi thought that Dr. Chen was a little worried about the punishment, so he was relieved: "Old Chen, this time you and I share the hardships, and I have relied on you a lot, don't worry, I, Yang, am not a person who knows how to repay the favor." That punishment is nothing, if you have any losses, I will make it up to you three times afterwards, and I will definitely not let you suffer. ”
Yang Fatzi's words made Dr. Chen stunned, in the past, this Yang Fatzi didn't care much about himself, because Yang Fatzi's background in the villa was still stronger than his own, so Yang Fatzi didn't care about his nominal boss. But he didn't want to deal with him, except for the fact that he had to meet to complete the task, and at other times, he was too lazy to contact.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Fatzi took the initiative to show goodwill.
Doctor Chen sighed just now, not because Yang Fatzi was worried about the punishment, but because there were other reasons, one was because Huang Xiao was gone, this time the top stewards were all out, Huang Xiao was more than lucky, and the second one was even more unreassuring to Xuan Ju.
He guessed in his heart that Xuanju was probably dead, but who can determine the final result?
"Wait, let's see if God blesses you. Dr. Chen thought to himself.
"Lao Chen, I'll go back first. This time something so big, I don't dare to slack off in other aspects, I have to go back and watch quickly. Fat Yang didn't care that Dr. Chen was a little distracted, and gave his leave.
In front of the thatched house, Huang Xiao's figure flashed quickly, and in the flash, he saw the wooden knife in his hand slashing forward.
Although it was a wooden knife, it still burst out with a sharp knife force.
With a 'bang', I saw the figure of the demon phoenix appear, and its wings flapped, which immediately dispersed Huang Xiao's sword strength.
Huang Xiao saw that his knife strength was shaken away, and he didn't mean to stop, and swung the knife again.
However, when he wanted to cut this knife out, his body was stunned, and the originally fierce aura on his body instantly dissipated.
"Forget it, reluctantly. The Demon Phoenix said.
Huang Xiao breathed for a moment, threw the wooden knife in his hand aside and sighed: "The fifth form has still not been practiced, and it has been two months." ”
"It's already very good, in just two months, you have a deep understanding of the fifth style, although you haven't succeeded in performing the 'fifth style', but the power of this 'fourth style' sword technique is much stronger than two months ago. As for this breakthrough, it may be just a moment, just one opportunity away. Demon Phoenix said.
Huang Xiao and the Demon Phoenix have been here for two months, originally planned for a month, but the Demon Phoenix found that the 'Heavenly Fire Flame' contained in the 'Ming Hong Knife' was beyond its expectations, not only because of the large amount of it, but also because the effect of this 'Heavenly Fire Flame' far exceeded its imagination.
A month was not enough to satisfy the Demon Phoenix, so it took an extra month for the Demon Phoenix to feel that he could no longer absorb the 'Heavenly Fire Flame' to recover his strength for the time being.
Demon Phoenix knew that his next step was to absorb and fuse the 'Heavenly Fire Flame', and it was okay to take his time on the road, so it didn't make much sense to stay here any longer.
Besides, two months have passed, and there is only one and a half months left for Huangzhou to compete for the list, although this time is enough for them to rush to Huangzhou, but once they encounter any trouble on the way and delay for a few days, it will be tense.
It is for this reason, no matter what, they are about to set off, and it doesn't matter if they delay the competition in Huangzhou, but this is related to the matter explained by the masked old man, and Huang Xiao does not dare to disobey it.
In the past two months, Huang Xiao has been pondering the 'fifth style', but unfortunately, he thinks he has figured it out, but when it comes to really performing it, the critical moment is always lacking in stamina, and his skills are difficult to sustain.
This made Huang Xiao know that he hadn't really comprehended the 'Fifth Form' yet.
The fight with the Demon Phoenix just now was the last attempt here, and it still couldn't be successful.
Although he was comforted by the Demon Phoenix, Huang Xiao was still a little disappointed in his heart.
Whether this 'fifth form' can be practiced is a key to whether or not he can deal with Pang Yi.
If he can't deal with Pang Yi in Huangzhou, then even if he kills Chao Yi, his attraction to the 'Heavenly Demon Hall' may not be so great.
"What I said is that it is not a way to practice so hard, maybe this time the competition can give me some inspiration. Huang Xiao took a deep breath and said.
"I know that you are unwilling in your heart, but you can't rush to learn martial arts, down-to-earth, one step at a time is the key. Demon Phoenix said.
"I'm a little disappointed, but I'm not going to sink here. Huang Xiao said with a smile, "Even if I can't practice the 'Fifth Style', I have to fight with Pang Yi to see how much strength he has, the most powerful young master of the 'Burial God Hall'." ”
"What's the matter, Sword God Yi, you're not interested?" the Demon Phoenix asked with a smile.
"I don't have so much energy, I don't have much chance of winning against one. Huang Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Pang Yi is my goal, I have nothing to do with the 'Immortal Sword Monarch' now, and I am not the descendant of the 'Immortal Sword Monarch', what do the people of the 'Sword Pavilion' do?"
"That's right. The Demon Phoenix nodded.
"How are you recovering?" asked Huang Xiao with some curiosity.
"It's still far from healing, but it's much better than before. The demon phoenix said, "Of course, even so, I still didn't pay attention to your three-legged cat kung fu." (To be continued.) )
