Kuroko's dwelling is not very large, but the conditions are very different from the orphanage camp.

Located diagonally below the Dani Elder Cave Mansion, it is dry, comfortable, and full of aura, and the layout of three bedrooms and one living room is also one more room than the ordinary quenching period fox repair.

There is a bedroom, a practice room, and a utility room, as well as a two-zhang square living room, and the extra room is a practice room, and the other fox cultivation in the bone quenching period is a combination of bedrooms and practice rooms.

It seems that Kuroko really didn't brag, at least under Elder Dani, he still had a certain status.

The small boss who is responsible for the daily material management will naturally have some convenient conditions, and the furnishings in the sunspot house are obviously much more complete than those of other bone-quenching stage fox cultivators, with stone beds in the bedroom, all kinds of equipment in the practice room, and shelves classified in the utility room, which makes other bone-quenching stage fox cultivators who come to the party envious.

The most exaggerated thing is the living room, in the living room of a demon cultivator in the quenching period, in addition to the futons made of animal skins, there are a few low small tables, which are particularly eye-catching.

The rooms of ordinary bone-quenching fox repairs are very simple, basically there is no furniture, at most, a few pieces of animal skins are placed in the living room to decorate the façade as a reception for guests.

There are already five fox corrections in the living room chatting and waiting, they are trying to learn the same as the human race, sitting on the animal skin futon, now the beast race learning the human race has become a fashion, the demon cultivator in the demon pill period can carry out part of the body evolution, learning the human race has been vivid, and the demon cultivator in the bone quenching period does not have this evolutionary ability, but is also trying to learn some movements and behaviors of the human race.

On the small table in front of the demon cultivators, there were horned rabbit meat, bamboo rat meat and some elixir fruits, which were actually held on a porcelain plate, which was amazing.

The most surprising thing is that there is also a white porcelain wine glass on each small table, which contains more than half a glass of crystal clear liquid, and from time to time there will be a mellow aroma of wine.

Although the waiting fox cultivators were already hungry, but before the host arrived and the guests were not gathered, everyone still pretended to be indifferent, and tried to avoid looking at the table when chatting.

After Heizi and Ah Li came in, they apologized again and again, and all the fox cultivators got up to say hello.

Soon the guest and the host sat down, Kuroko put his front paws on the small table, tried to stand on his hind legs, cleared his throat and said: "Brothers and sisters, it is rare to have such an opportunity today, the fox cultivators from our orphan camp can sit together and tell good stories. Thirty years ago, this would have been unimaginable. ”

The guests nodded in agreement, the environment of the orphanage camp is harsh, and there are very few fox cultivators who can be promoted to the bone quenching period, even if they are promoted to the bone quenching stage, because of their background, they will be excluded and isolated by other demon cultivators, and there will be no good jobs and residences assigned to them at all.

So the fox cultivator who was born in the orphanage camp has developed a low-key and introverted character, just to survive, like this party, even if there is an idea, no one dares to take the lead, this time the sunspot came forward to organize, everyone was surprised, so they all came with the attitude of coming to take a look.

Ah Li looked at the brothers and sisters in the party, and they all knew each other.

There are also nails, hammers, ugly girls, thin girls, and iron girls, and there are a total of seven people who have come from orphanage camps, and they have lived together for at least more than two hundred years.

All of you present are lucky, the orthodox dispute between Qingqiu Fox and Xuanyuan Fox five hundred years ago caused many innocent fox cultivators to die and be displaced, leaving behind a large number of orphans.

The fox ancestor had just been promoted to the demon pill stage at that time, and he was willing to take risks and took in three or four hundred orphan fox cultivators one after another, until fifty years ago, when the orphan fox cultivators in the vicinity were basically extinct, and he stopped the adoption work.

Five hundred years later, more than 300 orphan fox cultivators, except for the seven people present who were promoted to the bone quenching period, there were only forty-three people left in the orphan camp.

Kuroko continued: "Today, Kuroko specially invited everyone to come, first of all, to celebrate the return of our good sister Ah Li's smooth promotion to the bone quenching period, and to bring back a four-grade elixir for the clan, which really raised the face of our orphan camp, and made us very happy;

The second is that I miss the brothers and sisters in the orphanage camp very much, we all grew up together, and now we are all out of the woods, usually busy with each other, and have never had the opportunity to get together, but we still have to move around often in the future, and it is right to consolidate our feelings and support each other. ”

Everyone stood up to congratulate Ah Li, and thanked Kuroko for his hospitality.

Kuroko proposed: "Brothers and sisters, Kuroko is not talented, he is naturally reckless, and he is the latest in our group to be promoted to the bone quenching period (Kuroko doesn't know that Ah Li has only been promoted to the bone quenching period in recent days, he thinks that Ah Li's realm is higher than himself, and he should be promoted earlier than himself), and now he can only do some material management chores under Elder Dani." Barely arranging such a table of wine and food, it is still a little shabby, and I ask all brothers and sisters not to see outside. ”

Kuroko's words are a bit hypocritical, he is not a small handyman under Elder Dani, he is a small boss who is really responsible for daily material management and has a certain amount of power.

Otherwise, with a small demon cultivator in the bone quenching period, how could he live in such a house, how could he buy a meal of this level for seven tables, and many of them in this group of people have never eaten with a plate when they are so old.

Although I despise the hypocrisy of Kuroko in my heart, everyone is not good at showing it, and they all say, "Where, where", and it is really rare to praise such a delicacy.

Kuroko raised his voice: "In this case, let's gossip less, I propose, let's drink this glass of 'Lingquan Wine' together, and then start our dinner today, everyone, please." ”

After Kuroko finished speaking, he picked up the glass of wine on the table and drank it all, and Ah Li also took the wine glass and sucked it down.

This 'Lingquan Wine' is a little spicy in the mouth, but the aroma of the wine is rich, after the wine enters the throat, it immediately turns into a stream of heat, and instantly the aura fills the stomach, and it is quickly absorbed by the body.

Everyone looked at Kuroko in surprise, such a good thing is really not something that a small leader of Kuroko's level can get.

Heizi was very satisfied when he saw everyone's surprised looks, but suppressed his smug expression and said: "This 'Lingquan Wine' is the special spirit wine of our Fox Immortal Forest, which is brewed with the spiritual spring in the belly of the mountain, plus more than ten flavors of first- and second-class elixirs, and after twenty years of cellaring, it can only be taken out and drunk. ”

The hammer is the best thing in the cup, and he couldn't help but ask: "Heizi, how can you get such a good thing?" You are even willing to take it out and give it to your brothers to drink, you are really righteous, and my brother appreciates you!"

Kuroko laughed: "Brother Hammer, you have a good reputation." This wine was used by Elder Dani to entertain the Grand Elder of the Weasel Clan for a banquet a few days ago, because I served me properly and arranged it properly, and after the banquet, Elder Dani gave me the remaining half pot of 'Lingquan Wine'.

How can I be stingy with this kind of excellent wine? Of course, I want to share it with you, or how can I say that we are brothers and sisters?"

Kuroko's words are affectionate and righteous on the surface, but secretly he is constantly flaunting and reinforcing how much he is valued under Elder Dani, and how well he is mixed now, only elm heads like hammers can't hear it, and the others pouted when they heard it.

Tianhuo listened to the sunspot on the stone platform, only felt a burst of tooth soreness, goosebumps all over his body, I really wanted to rush out to shine on the sunspot is face is punch, the master's master is so bullish, I haven't seen me so arrogant? This sunspot is too stinky fart, it's really unbearable.

Tianhuo called Ah Li loudly: "Ah Li, this sunspot is too disgusting, you get him, I support you!"

Ah Li also felt that Heizi was a little too hypocritical, and when he heard Tianhuo say this, he immediately remembered that he also had some food brought back from Qingzhoufang in his Qiankun bag, and hurriedly said:

"That's right, Kuroko is right! I also have some food brought back from the Terrans here, and Kuroko didn't say that I forgot it, so I'll take it out and share it with you. ”

After speaking, Ah Li took out seven dishes from the Qiankun bag, and sent a plate to each table, and the ugly girl exclaimed in surprise: "Is this the spiritual meal of the human race?

Ah Li smiled lightly and said: "A few days ago, I passed by Qingzhoufang, and an elder invited me to dinner, I brought some back by the way, everyone should try it." ”

Except for the sunspot, everyone cheered, enjoying the food of the Qingzhou Inn, and no one moved the meals prepared by the sunspot.

Tianhuo was very excited to see it on the stone platform, rubbing his hands while walking, and seeing the black line on the sunspot's face from the canopy, he felt particularly relieved, and couldn't help laughing: "Let you pretend! Let you pretend to be better than the master, now you are deflated!"

Seeing that Ah Li had destroyed all the atmosphere he had so hard created, and that he couldn't continue the words he was going to get to the point later, Kuroko was so angry that his paws trembled a little.

Ah Li was also very happy to see the children happily tasting the food she brought, although it was done to disgust the sunspots, but the effect was very good.

Ah Li saw that the sunspot didn't taste it, so he pretended to be curious and asked, "Sunspot, why don't you eat it?" Is it that you are usually used to big fish and meat, and you don't like these dishes?"

Although Kuroko's face was ugly, he still tried to hide it: "No, don't misunderstand, I'm the host, you are the guest, you haven't tasted it yet, I can't eat it first, come, everyone don't just eat the dishes in front of you, exchange them for food." ”

Kuroko hopes to use his generosity to make the atmosphere more harmonious and make everyone's attention focus on him again.

In fact, the cup of Lingquan wine provided by Kuroko had more than one step in aura content than Ah Li's spiritual meal, but the dishes brought by Ah Li had a much better taste.

This group of small people eat two bites at this table, and taste it at that table, and every dish can cause a burst of praise from everyone, many of whom are pretending to love it and applauding loudly, just to stimulate the sunspots.

Kuroko couldn't insert it into his mouth for a while, so he had to cover his head and eat, and after a while, several plates of dishes were basically wiped out, and Kuroko had a chance to speak: "Everyone is so happy today, you can play with me for a while, talk, reminisce, and have fun." ”

Everyone said that the proposal was very good, and Heizi said: "Ah Li just came back from outside, and he is not very familiar with the situation in the Fox Fairy Forest, everyone introduces Ah Li to his position, so that others can also deepen their understanding, Brother Nail, or you will say it first." ”

Nail and Hammer are a pair of twin brothers, they are a pair of brothers in the orphan camp, they were promoted to the quenching period fifty years ago, and they are currently quenching silver bone realm, Nail is a small leader of the dark sentry camp, and Hammer is a backbone of the patrol camp.

The ugly girl is one of the managers of the bamboo rat beast pen under Elder Erni's door, and she is not particularly valued by Erni. Since Erni's disappearance, Erni's ethnic group has been panicking, everyone is fierce, and the ugly girl, an outsider, has been having a hard time recently.

Slender Ya is one of the managers of Elder Sanni's medicine garden, because she has a good personal relationship with Elder Sanni's daughter Fat Ya, and she is half a best friend, so she is more valued by Sanni. However, Ah Li heard from other people's words that the so-called attention of the thin girl is specifically responsible for being bullied by the fat girl.

Tieya is the maid of Elder Keqing Bat Wing, and her work is the most envied by everyone, because Elder Bat Wing is not in the Fox Fairy Forest for most of the year, and no one usually cares about Tieya, Tieya only needs to keep Elder Bat Wing's pet well.

But Tieya seemed to be very painful, and when she told her story, she could be described as bloody, bloody, and tearful, and she cried loudly at the scene.

It turned out that Elder Batwing's pets turned out to be five poisons - scorpions, poisonous snakes, centipedes, toads and spiders, each of which was not one, but a group!

At the beginning, Tieya was bitten by the five poisons many times, and almost died a few times, but fortunately, Elder Bat Wing treated him in time, and then slowly got used to it, Tieya had a certain degree of anti-toxicity, and the ordinary bite was red and swollen for a while.

But the most unbearable thing is that Elder Bat Wing has to let Tieya bleed a bowl every month to feed the head of the five poisons, and every month when it comes to the day of bloodletting, Tieya feels that she is worse than dead!

Although Tieya has only served Elder Bat Wing for more than three years, Tieya is now thinner than Thin Ya, and in Tieya's own words, she really doesn't know how long she will live.

Everyone condemned Elder Bat Wing and appeased Tieya, Ah Li heard tears rippling in his eyes, and specially took out a Guben Pill and gave it to Tieya to replenish his body.

Everyone asked Ah Li curiously, what position the ancestor arranged for her.

Ah Li had no choice but to say that she had not been assigned a job for the time being, maybe she had just come back, and the ancestor had not thought about it yet, so she prevaricated in the past, but fortunately, this group of small people did not ask.

After that, everyone began to chat about some things that they had seen, because they came from different departments, and the situation in recent decades was very different, so all kinds of past allusions, gossip and anecdotes, everyone chatted with great interest, and soon under Ah Li's intentional guidance, the topic talked about the disappearance of Elder Erni.

Kuroko told everyone to be quiet and not to be heard by others, but when the gossip flame is burning, it is not a reminder that can interrupt this hot topic.

Everyone told a part of the truth they knew, which was equivalent to exchanging information.

On the day of Elder Erni's accident, Nail and his secret sentry brothers were in charge of guarding Shen Shi's arrival, and they did not find anyone entering or leaving the Fox Immortal Forest during that time.

On the afternoon of Elder Erni's accident, Elder Dani was holding a regular meeting every fifteen days in the cave mansion, where the backbone leaders of different lines under him reported on the recent work, dealt with some thorny problems, and arranged the work for the second half of the month.

The meeting was held unanimously until the end of the second watch, and after the end of the meeting, Elder Dani left a leader and arranged some other work. Therefore, Kuroko patted his chest and said that the disappearance of Elder Erni must have nothing to do with Elder Dani.

Because there was a flower garden that needed to be replanted with elixir seeds that day, Ugly Ya didn't send Elder Erni home, and she didn't know where Elder Erni went later.

Elder Erni said that he would go to Elder Sanni's mansion to discuss the distribution of elixirs this year, and he was also going to visit Elder Keqing, because there was a termite plague in her cave recently, and she wanted to ask Elder Keqing to borrow some poisonous insects to get rid of termites.

On the day when the thin girl proved that something had happened, Elder Sanni was taking the school for the fat girl's cultivation homework, because the fat girl's cultivation progress was not ideal, Elder Sanni was furious and trained the fat girl for a long time, and the thin girl was accompanying her, and she didn't see Elder Erni visiting.

Tieya confirmed that Elder Keqing was in the cave that day, but when she arrived in Shen, Elder Keqing sent her away and asked her to go back to her residence to rest, as for whether Erni went to Elder Keqing later, she didn't know.

But since Erni disappeared, Elder Keqing has become strange, always running to the Ancestor's Cave Mansion, and not even coming back all night.

Tianhuo basically ruled out the possibility that Erni was killed outside the Fox Immortal Forest, and through the combing of evidence, Elder Keqing's suspicion was much greater, and Sanni and the old ancestor could not completely rule out suspicion.

Kuroko interrupted everyone's groundless speculation, saying that it would be better for everyone to listen less and talk less about this matter.

It's easy to wait for everyone to talk a little lesser, Kuroko coughed twice, let everyone look at him, and then said: "Brothers and sisters, from the disappearance of Elder Erni, we should know that the road of cultivation and the road of survival are very difficult, I think that although everyone's living conditions have improved a little now, they are not very ideal, and they are still struggling at the bottom of the Fox Fairy Forest, so everyone should unite as one, support each other, and climb up in a group to have hope."

Elder Dani has always cared about her brothers and sisters who have come out of the orphanage camp, and if you can visit Elder Dani more often when you do your job, Elder Dani will definitely be very happy!

Elder Dani said that she had always been a virtuous corporal, and that the door was always open to her fellow workers in the orphanage camp.

If you have any difficulties in life or cultivation, just ask, Elder Dani is responsible for the allocation and management of the Fox Immortal Forest's materials, and he will not be stingy with everyone here.

If some important news can be told to Elder Dani in advance, Elder Dani will also have a reward, do you want to know Elder Dani, I can introduce you to you. ”

The other people were silent for a while, and looked at each other, it turned out that there was no good banquet, and today Heizi came to collect the group of quenching fox cultivators in the orphanage camp on behalf of Elder Dani, and it seems that the disappearance of Elder Erni has given Elder Dani a sense of crisis, so he made this decision.

After a long silence, Ah Li was the first to stand up, and his little paw slapped his chest loudly, praising Elder Dani like a saint, but there was no word of refuge.

The others immediately understood what Ah Li meant, and they also followed Elder Kudani, and by the way, they also praised Kuroko for being benevolent and righteous, and when he was rich, he didn't forget to pull his brothers along, and immediately drowned Kuroko in a piece of flattery.

Kuroko only felt a feeling of dizziness in his brain, and this moment seemed to be the peak of his life.

Just as Kuroko was still indulging in a sense of pride, Ah Li got up, and everyone said that the hour was not early, and there was something to do tomorrow, so they needed to go back to rest early.

Kuroko tried his best to keep it, hoping that this group of hair boys would give him a letter, but this group of hair children was like a group of Tai Chi masters, and they didn't answer Kuroko's words at all, and they talked about him left and right.

In the end, Kuroko reluctantly suggested that everyone get together once a month in the future, and under Kuroko's regretful look, everyone took it upon themselves and dispersed.

On the way back, Tianhuo asked, "Ah Li, you did a good job today!"

Ah Li said: "Hmph, Heizi is too philistine, it's really a good feast, I thought he was kind enough to gather everyone together, but it turned out that he came to gather his subordinates for Elder Dani, too scheming."

In the future, you must not participate in this kind of small gathering! You see them, not only sunspots, which one of them has no sense of showing off, and it is unappetizing to hear too much.

These people have almost forgotten that they have come out of the orphanage camp, it is like a different person, and those who have forgotten their roots are not worthy of deep friendship. ”

Tianhuo was a little surprised and said, "Ah Li, you can see this, you have grown up very quickly recently!"

Ah Li said angrily: "I even doubt that Elder Dani asked Heizi to recruit us, the ancestor broke up all the fox cultivators from the orphan camp and assigned them to various ethnic groups and departments, just hoping that we would integrate into the ethnic group as soon as possible, and did not want us to be united, Elder Dani was very clear about this matter."

But today, the sunspot gathered a few of us together, I'm afraid that most of them are pulling tiger skin and beating big drums, trying to use our strength to help him climb up, he only has power and future in his eyes now, completely ignoring the life and death of our group of small hairs, how can I let him succeed. ”

Tianhuo nodded and said: "Ah Li, you guess most of the truth is true, Elder Dani wants to finally take power in the Fox Immortal Forest, it is too difficult, her bloodline is not correct, her foundation is too thin, her current power is all given to her by the ancestor, if the ancestor wants to take it back, she will immediately become nothing."

At present, the smartest thing for her to do is to continue to keep her head down, sit back and watch the clouds disappear, and whoever can come to power will assist whom, this is the safest way?

However, Elder Dani is not as scheming as you think, and when you look at her handling of Erni's disappearance, you will know that Dani is not so simple. ”

Ah Li nodded: "Well, thank you Tianhuo for teaching me so much, I grew up very quickly with you, I don't want to be left farther and farther away by others, I hope to be able to take my destiny into my own hands in the future!"
