The more indifferent this old man is, the more bored Zhan Qingxiao feels, but he knows that sooner or later he will explain the reason to himself, and he is not in a hurry at the moment.

"Childe, don't listen to him, the old man has never been reliable this month. Everyone knows that the people who come to our south and leave the city want to go to the demon clan to find the demon yuan, but how can the demon yuan be so easy to get? Every time someone wants to come to find the demon yuan, they come to our Xiangyun Building to live and eat, and the old man Yue pretends to be unfathomable, and then says that he can take them to the demon clan, but in fact, he is deceiving these people of the silver. The shopkeeper really couldn't look past it, and suddenly said a word.

The old man surnamed Yue glanced at the shopkeeper suddenly, and then gave a "haha" to relieve the embarrassment.

Zhan Qingxiao smiled dumbly, seeing that this old man doesn't look like a person who has been abducted and deceived and disrespectful to the old, why does this shopkeeper seem to know his way very well.

Zhan Qingxiao naturally didn't believe that this old man would be a person who cheated people out of money, would such a master go to cheat people out of money for those little silver? The answer is obviously not, where is such a master not to be robbed to be worshipped, if he wants silver, it can't be simpler.

"You go down first!" Zhan Qingxiao took out another ingot of ten taels of silver and said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was flattered to take the silver, and said gratefully: "You are really the most generous guest I have ever seen, but I still have to remind you, don't believe the words of the old man Yue." ”

Time passed little by little, and the two just drank without saying a word.

After all, Zhan Qingxiao couldn't hold his breath and asked, "Senior, how did you know that I wanted to go to the Demon Clan?"

"As Xiao Bolt said, as long as the people who come to our south and leave the city want to go to the demon clan to find the demon yuan, I think you are no exception. However, if you want to find the Demon Yuan, you must have me to help you. Otherwise, you won't even be able to go to the demon clan. ”

Zhan Qingxiao showed a disappointed look on his face, it seemed that as the shopkeeper said, everyone who came to the south and left the city seemed to want to go to the demon clan to find the demon yuan, but they didn't have the purpose of looking for the demon yuan. I want to go to the Origin Conference of the Demon Clan to see if I can find a way to rescue Bai Zhi's Seven Spirits.

As soon as this old man came, he said that he wanted to find the demon yuan, but he didn't know his true purpose for coming here, so he directly made a discount in his heart with the unfathomable sound and shadow.

The old man saw that Zhan Qingxiao hesitated to get the appearance, and did not say more, but untied a gourd from his waist, and then poured the wine in the wine jug into it, when there was no drop of wine left in the wine jug, he screwed the mouth of the wine gourd, and then showed a mysterious smile, and said: "If you want to go to the demon clan, if you want someone to help, you can come to me at any time, I live in a broken temple outside the southern city." ”

After speaking, he got up, carried the wine gourd, and left the inn.

Zhan Qingxiao returned to his desk, Baili Lingju put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "How is it?"

"Alas, it's hard to say, it looks quite mysterious, but it looks like a deceived old man. Zhan Qingxiao shook his head, very helpless. He beckoned to the shopkeeper, who trotted over and asked, "Childe, what do you command?"

"Let me ask you, what is the origin of the old man this month?" asked Zhan Qingxiao.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "What can he do? He is a homeless bad old man, who usually relies on coaxing some outsiders to not starve to death." In the past few years, there have been no outsiders at all, and almost everyone in Nanli City knows about him, so no one deceives him anymore. He can only come to our Xiangyun Building to eat and drink. ”

"You just said that he only gives five cents every time, I think your inn is also good, so don't you do loss-making business every day?

"Girl, what you said is very true, you see that even one of your guests can think of this floor, but our shopkeeper has never said a word, and I don't know what kind of soup this old man has poured into him. The shopkeeper said with an indignant face.

"Where are you shopkeepers?" Zhan Qingxiao thought that if he asked the innkeeper, he might be able to know something.

"Our shopkeeper is out, and we won't be able to ...... until the evening Why did you come back so early, shopkeeper?" The shopkeeper was only halfway through his sentence, when suddenly a middle-aged man in a blue silk walked in, the man had a small beard, his body was a little bloated, and when he walked in, he looked like a rolling meat-ball.

The man's round fleshy face, with a small slit at the place of his eyes, revealed those small eyes, and said, "Little bolt, you go and prepare, I will have guests coming later." ”

The shopkeeper answered, walked over to the man, and whispered something while pointing at Zhan Qingxiao and the others.

The man showed a look of surprise on his face, then walked over and said to Zhan Qingxiao, "This son, aren't you from our southern departure from the city?"

"Are you the shopkeeper of this inn?" asked Zhan Qingxiao.

"Yes, let me introduce myself, the contemptible surname is Chu, Chu Yibo. He replied.

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Chu, fortunately, fortunately!" Zhan Qingxiao hugged his fists and said. Then he opened his mouth and asked about the old man surnamed Yue.

"Childe, you want to

I know why Mr. Yue came to my Xiangyun Building to drink, and he only gave five cents every time, why I didn't have any opinions, right?" Chu Yibo asked again.

"Yes, it's inevitable that it's a little strange, don't all those who do business never make loss-making deals?"

"Actually, I don't know exactly why. I just know that the rule passed down by my grandfather is that Mr. Yue comes over, and he only needs to pay five cents, which is an agreement. Since it was my grandfather's order, my father and I didn't care. Chu Yibo also replied with a hint of doubt.

"So, this Mr. Yue, have you drunk a lot of wine here?" Zhan Qingxiao thought to himself.

"A few guest officials are slow to use, and there are still things to do, so you need to prepare first. Chu Yibo said apologetically, and then asked the shopkeeper to continue to greet them, while he walked inside.

A total of five rooms were opened for them, Zhan Qingxiao and Baili Lingju, Qiwei, and Land Rover lived in one room, and Zhang Wan'er and Erya lived in one.

When night came, Zhan Qingxiao couldn't fall asleep over and over, he couldn't help but think of the old man during the day, this old man made Zhan Qingxiao very curious, did he really know how to go to the demon clan. Although I didn't want to get any demon yuan, but to participate in the Demon Clan's Origin Conference, if someone could lead the way, it would naturally be good.

Thinking of this, he got up from his bed and decided to go and find out what was going on at night.

There are very few people in the south of the city, and the streets are even more deserted at night, there is not even the sound of dogs barking, and the whole street seems very quiet.

At this time, it was winter, and the night was very cold, Zhan Qingxiao wrapped in a robe, walked through the streets and alleys, and came to the broken temple in the south of the city mentioned by the old man earlier.

Zhan Qingxiao walked lightly into the ruined temple. The temple is indeed very dilapidated, and probably only beggars live here at night.

The temple gate looks thousands of years old, and it is also dilapidated. There was a smell of decay emanating from the entire temple, and with a gentle push from Zhan Qingxiao, the door opened. He walked into the temple, trying not to make a single movement, for fear of waking up the people in the temple.

In the distance, he smelled a strong smell of wine, and tattered wine jars were spread all over the ground, some of them were old, and some of them looked like new jars that had just been added.

By the glow of the night, he saw the statue of the temple's enshrinement, a statue of an old man with a beard and a fierce face holding a large sword.

The statue was covered with cobwebs, and a very tattered altar was laid out under the statue, and there were some bones of chickens, ducks, and fish on the altar.

Further down to the ground, there was a pile of weeds, and an old man with a white beard was lying on top of these 'weeds, covered with a tattered quilt, and the quilt was very dirty at this time, and the old man did not dislike it at all, but was sleeping with the quilt in his arms.

Zhan Qingxiao vaguely saw in the darkness that the immortal power on his body was actually circulating, this person was actually cultivating when he fell asleep?

He carefully observed the immortal power circulating around him, and there was no longer any trace of spiritual power in the dantian of the original human being, which meant that his spiritual power had been completely converted into immortal power! Judging by his state, he has already cultivated to the late stage of the Heavenly People's Congress, and he is only one foot away from the immortal servant! However, why can he still stay in the human realm? You must know that once a person in the mortal world reaches the realm of the unity of heaven and man, after the spiritual power begins to transform into immortal power, he will be guided by the ascension, and when the spiritual power is completely transformed, whether he accepts the guidance to ascend or not, he will passively ascend, because the heaven and earth in the mortal world cannot carry the body of an immortal at all. And the people of the immortal realm can't forcibly open the passage to the human world, unless there is a way to block the way of heaven.

Could it be that this old man has a way to shield the way of heaven? Just when Zhan Qingxiao was thinking about various possibilities, the old man suddenly turned over, Zhan Qingxiao thought that he had woken him up, and hurriedly held his breath, and waited for a while to find that this old man was not very satisfied with his previous sleeping position, so he turned over.

Seeing that the old man continued to fall asleep after turning over, Zhan Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief, if his own was discovered, this old man regarded himself as an enemy, then the casual blow of the master of the late stage of the Heavenly People's Congress, I am afraid that he would suffer a big loss.

Zhan Qingxiao turned around and tiptoed out.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly saw the old man who was still asleep just now, sitting quietly on the threshold, raising his head and drinking the wine in the wine gourd. This made Zhan Qingxiao suddenly startled, and his body shrank back a little.

"Since you're here, why don't you wake up the old man?" the old man didn't even look at Zhan Qingxiao, and said.

"Aren't you asleep?" asked Zhan, startled.

"The demon clan is very mysterious. Every 10th year, on the second day of the second month of the 10th month, there is an Origin Conference. On top of the Origin Conference, there will be all kinds of secret treasures, and even things that have been handed down from the fairy world! After ten years, it is time for a new Origin Conference. Young man, I saw the blue-clothed girl beside you, this soul, something is not normal, you are here for this, right?" said the old man with a deep face.

This word contains too much information, first of all, he knows the Origin Conference, and along the way, he attacked those who have heard about the Demon Clan, but no one knows the Origin Conference of the Demon Clan, and he is also from

Zhang Shaohan learned from his mouth; secondly, he could see through Bai Zhi's soul at a glance; also, he knew that the Origin Conference had something that could unlock the seal on Bai Zhi's body!

"Senior, who are you?" Zhan Qingxiao had to ask.

"Hmph......," the old man snorted softly to himself, "who's who?

After speaking, he took another sip of wine, Zhan Qingxiao looked at the wine jars spread on the ground, and said cautiously, "You like to drink very much?"

"Drinking? Over the years, I didn't like to drink, I just wanted to get drunk. It's just that since a drunken episode ten years ago, I can't get drunk anymore. The old man had a faint sadness on his face, and it seemed that he had a lot of things hidden in his heart.

"If the junior didn't guess wrong, ten years ago, all the spiritual power in your body was converted into immortal power, so you can't continue to get drunk. ”

"The young man has good eyesight, and it is true, he can see through that the old man is now an immortal. He smiled faintly, and in his tone, he was not very happy to break his mortal body and officially become an immortal. In other words, if you are a mortal and cultivate into an immortal, it is naturally very gratifying, like Jing Zhen has never been able to break through the mortal body and become an immortal, and now he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Only by becoming an immortal will you be free from the suffering of mortals' birth, old age, sickness and death.

"That'...... Since you have become an immortal, why are you?" Zhan Qingxiao wanted to ask why he had stayed in the mortal world instead of ascending to the immortal realm, but as soon as the words came out, he felt that he had made a mistake, after all, how could a stranger know the secret of people's shielding of the Heavenly Dao.

"What?, interested in this?" he smiled slightly, looking at Zhan Qingxiao, as if he wanted to find something unusual from Zhan Qingxiao. "You are only in the fugue stage, and you are still far from the realm of the unity of heaven and man. When you reach the unity of heaven and man, it is better to come to the old man again. ”

"No ......" Zhan Qingxiao denied, he couldn't wait to cultivate this physical body to the realm of the unity of heaven and man as soon as possible, as long as he reached this realm, then his spiritual power would not be as troublesome as that of mortals, and when the time came, he could break the mortal body at any time and ascend to become an immortal.

"Young man, you don't have to be in a hurry to deny it, maybe you may really have to find the old man and get this way to shield the way of heaven. The old man seemed to be able to see through Zhan Qingxiao's appearance that he would definitely be able to soar into an immortal, and smiled faintly.

"If there is really such a need, it will naturally trouble the seniors at that time. ”

"Hmm!" the old man nodded, and then continued, "I can take you to the Demon Clan and take you to the Origin Conference, but as a condition, you have to help me save someone in the Demon Clan." ”

"Save people, save whom? There are still people in our human race who are trapped in the demon clan, and there is no reason to live?" Zhan Qingxiao said suspiciously.

"What kind of person to save, when you get to the demon clan, the old man will naturally find an opportunity to tell you. In fact, the demon clan is not as ferocious and murderous as rumored, eating human flesh and drinking human blood. He said indifferently, "The rumors about these demon clans are just false rumors. It was the people in power at that time who deliberately slandered the demon clan in order to demonize them and prevent humans from coming into contact with them. It has been passed down to the present, and in the eyes of the human beings in the demon clan, it is already heinous. ”

Zhan Qingxiao came to Nanli City, naturally he was fully prepared, so he inquired a lot about the demon clan, and the rumors about the demon clan that he knew were among the people, although they may not be true, but they should not be too outrageous. But now the old man's words completely subverted the impression of the demon clan in his heart.

"Oh? yes. What the younger generation is puzzled about is, since you are already so strong, why do you need my little fugue person to help you save people?" Zhan Qingxiao was quite curious.

"It's just the reward I took you to the Demon Clan's Origin Conference and asked for it. How about it? Do you agree or not? Without the old man, your trip is quite dangerous. Not to mention that humans are hostile to the demon race, the demon race is also very resistant to humans. ”

It's understandable to ask for compensation, but the old man's words are not clear, as long as he goes to the demon clan to save someone, he doesn't say in detail what kind of person he is going to save, and in whom he will save it. Therefore, Zhan Qingxiao is naturally not very willing to accept this matter, for him, what he promised must be completed, even if it is at the cost of his own life, this is his consistent criterion.

"The younger generation can give you silver, as for saving people......."

Before Zhan Qingxiao's words were finished, the old man suddenly became very angry, and said coldly: "Do you think that the old man is very poor?

"You can't even afford to drink. Zhan Qingxiao was not deterred by him, and pointed to the wine tank in that place and said.

"It's just a little mundane thing, it's not worth the old man's trouble! You just say it, promise it or not!" said the old man's face was slightly red, and he said arguedly.

"No, I don't. Zhan Qingxiao didn't think about it, so he said. After all, this old man is now in the late stage of the Heavenly Dynasty, and he is only one foot away from reaching the Immortal Servant, and this kind of strength can almost go sideways in the Five Elements Continent, but now he doesn't make a move, and let others save people, there must be a reason.

Therefore, Zhan Qingxiao is not in a hurry at this time.

The old man looked at Zhan Qingxiao seriously, with a stiff face, looking directly at Zhan Qingxiao, raising his head and drinking all the wine gourd in his hand. And then said, "Do you really want to know?"
