Zheng Lei's words made everyone else wonder, after the little girl went back, she couldn't stand Hu Mei's interrogation, and explained the reason for this matter, Hu Mei listened, just smiled slightly, and took Hu Xiaowan to Baiyun Temple. It's not that she came to Xingshi to ask about the guilt, but as an eight-tailed spirit fox, she still knows a lot about men's hearts.

However, after coming to Baiyun Temple, Hu Mei did not see Zheng Lei immediately, so she waited here for a few days.

In the past few days, she also told Tian Chengyang about this matter, even Tian Chengyang, and she also felt a little unhappy about what her apprentice did, after all, not everyone approached Zheng Lei with some shady purposes, and they couldn't all be beaten to death with such a stick.

However, the people present, no matter which one of them is an old goblin who has gone through the world, they Zheng Lei said this, and they all heard that things seemed to have changed somewhat.

Hu Mei didn't break Zheng Lei, but said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing else, it's just that I haven't seen Xiaowan for so long, I miss her a little, so I called her back to say a few words, you really did it this time, and you actually took back the jade seal of the country with the power of one person." ”

"How can there be? It was all the help of Taoist friends and seniors that I was lucky enough to bring the jade seal back. Zheng Lei was a little embarrassed to be praised, and couldn't help scratching his head and said.

"Anyway, this time it was you who brought back the jade seal of the country, so that the matter on Fishtail Island did not deteriorate further, speaking of which, you have made a great merit. Tian Chengyang said.

"Great merit?" Tian Chengyang's words reminded him, he hurriedly reached out on the top of the storage bag and took out the merit ruler, and at once, he was a little surprised, only to see that the merit ruler had grown from the original length of one foot to a length of one and a half feet.

"Master, why has the merit ruler become longer?" Zheng Lei said.

Tian Chengyang was also very surprised by Zheng Lei, and said: "It's strange, the ancestors of the past generations have never encountered the situation where the merit ruler has become longer, how did it come to your hands, and the merit ruler has become longer? When did it start to get longer?"

"I don't know, I guess it's only been these two days, and it hasn't gotten longer until we escape back from the Black River Grand Canyon. Zheng Lei said.

Tian Chengyang took the merit ruler in his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and still didn't find anything, the merit ruler that had grown half a foot long, exuding a golden light more than three inches long, the golden light on the merit ruler represented the merits accumulated by Zheng Lei, the more merits, the more golden light.

"Heck, don't study it if you can't figure it out, we'll bring back one person when we come back this time. Lin Xitian Chengyang stared at the merit ruler all the time and couldn't help but say.

"People?" Tian Chengyang raised his head and asked, "Who?"

"A Dongying person, in her memory, I vaguely found something, but my soul searching technique is not very good, so I don't have all her memories, so I brought her back and let you, senior brother, come here, you should be able to find some useful information for us. Lin Xi said.

When Tian Chengyang heard this, he said, "Where are the people?"

Lin Xi to Zheng Lei, Zheng Lei took out the picture scroll, pulled it open a little, and shook it slightly, Yue Xian'er fell out of it, covered in ash, a face that was originally pretty, but now it was also blue and purple, she fell into a coma, and closed her eyes tightly.

"Why did this happen?" Tian Chengyang said.

She lurked beside Xiao Lei's roommates, trying to wait for an opportunity to take away Xiao Lei's body, but unfortunately Xiao Lei was discovered, so his roommates were not in a good mood, so they beat her like this. Lin Xi explained.

"She's still a cultivator?" Tian Chengyang asked.

"Yes. Lin Xi nodded.

"Why can't I find a trace of spiritual power fluctuations on her body?" Tian Chengyang was puzzled.

Lin Xi continued to explain: "Her internal organs were sealed by me with a golden needle, even if she has spiritual power, she can't circulate in her body, so my senior brother can't detect it, however, she is a person from the Cave of Bliss, even if I don't use a golden needle to seal her internal organs, it is not easy to detect that she is a cultivator, our Xiao Lei is much more powerful, I found her directly as soon as I came back, fortunately I found it early, otherwise I would have fallen into her way." ”

Tian Chengyang didn't have a good impression of the islanders, and said at the moment: "Okay, give me a day, and I will dig out all her memories." ”

"With Senior Brother Lao, I always feel that the incident of Yuwei Island is not only related to the heirloom jade seal, but also a bigger conspiracy is hidden behind it. Lin Xi said.

"Well, when the results come out, if there are any clues, let's report to the realm quickly. Tian Chengyang agreed, while holding out a small umbrella, closing it to Yue Xian'er, and actually put it in.

After receiving Yue Xian'er, Tian Chengyang said: "Okay, you guys should rest first, Xiao Lei has been running around for so many days, it's time to go home, junior sister, you also need to rest and rest." ”

"Master Xie (Senior Brother) cares. Zheng Lei and Lin Xi said at the same time.

Tian Chengyang nodded, took the umbrella and left.

Zheng Lei pulled up Hu Xiaowan and Hu Mei.

Hu Mei nodded and said, "You go." ”

The little girl was dragged back to Lin Xi's villa by Zheng Lei with a bunch of question marks.

When the son who hasn't been successful for many years comes back, the old couple can be said to be happy and angry, happy that the son has finally come back, and angry that they haven't even called them to report their safety during the New Year.

But these don't matter anymore, Zheng Lei stood in front of them intact, which made the second elder's mood suddenly relaxed.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Lin Xi called Zheng Lei to Baiyun Temple.

Tian Chengyang hasn't found any results yet, and Zheng Lei and the two of them can only wait here.

The two sat bored for a while, and Hu Mei walked out of the door leisurely.

"Grandma Zu, you didn't leave?" Zheng Lei asked.

"Why, don't you welcome me here?" said Hu Mei with a rare smile.

"Who said that? It's just that you've always been in a hurry, and yesterday I thought you were gone again. Zheng Lei said.

"I stayed because I wanted to tell you something. Hu Mei said.

"What's the matter? Zheng Lei said.

"Let's go somewhere else. Hu Mei glanced at Lin Xi and said.

Lin Xi smiled slightly and said to Zheng Lei: "Go, there are some secrets that you can't let me know." ”

"Thank you for your understanding. Hu Mei said.

"Daoist friends are very polite. Lin Xi replied.

Zheng Lei followed Hu Mei to the Yunji Garden with a mind full of questions.

"Grandma Zu, what's the important matter?" Zheng Lei asked.

But Hu Mei's actions made Zheng Lei startled. She took Zheng Lei all the way over, and then knelt on the ground with a snap.

"Grandma Zu, you hurry up, this can't be helped!" Zheng Lei hurriedly supported Hu Mei and wanted to help him up.

Unexpectedly, Hu Mei did not get up, but bowed deeply to him three times.

Zheng Lei was even more confused, and asked in surprise: "Grandma Zu, you ......?"

"Engong don't call me grandma in the future, I can't stand Engong's words, and ask Engong to call me Hu Mei in the future, or 'Mei'er', if you can't do it, it's okay to call a 'Taoist friend'. It's just that don't call the words 'grandma' anymore. Hu Mei lowered her head and said.

"You, you, you ......" Zheng Lei was speechless for a while, how could this Hu Mei suddenly seem to be a different person?

"Engong, don't be so surprised, there are some things that are inconvenient to explain clearly now, and Engong will understand in the future, but now Mei'er has something to ask for. Hu Mei raised her head and said.

"Oh, you stand up first, you can say anything you want, don't kneel like this, you are like this, how can I be good?" Zheng Lei said eagerly.

"Let's let Mei'er say this. Hu Mei said.

"Oops!" Zheng Lei stretched out his hand to hold his head, and after a while, Hu Mei said, "You said I was your father-in-law, right?"

"Yes. "Is that what I say you usually have to listen to?"

"Yes. "Then you stand up and speak!"

Hu Mei hesitated, but slowly stood up and looked at Zheng Lei.

"Okay, it's better to stand and talk, just say anything, as long as I can do it, I'll try to help you do it. Zheng Lei said.

Hu Mei sorted out her thoughts and said: "Before talking about this matter, I will give Engong a general introduction to the situation of my clan, our clan, there are only seven people in more than 3,000 years now, and there will only be these seven people, you may be a little confused, this is because these seven of us, including Xiaowan, are actually not a complete person, or rather, until now, the seven of us are all living for our ancestors." ”

"I don't understand, do you have anything left by your ancestors that you need to do, but why aren't you a complete person?"

Hu Mei continued: "More than three thousand years ago, the ancestors were scattered, and the three souls and seven spirits were scattered in the holy land. After all, the cultivation of the ancestors at that time was close to attaining the Tao, and it was only because the demonic qi on the body was not exhausted that he committed many catastrophes and caused the disaster of killing, but that time the soul was scattered, and it happened to be the most favorable opportunity for the ancestors to gain the Tao, because the soul was scattered and left **, so the demonic energy had nowhere to rely on, so it dispersed by itself, but the three souls and seven spirits that were scattered could not return to ** on their own, so they have been floating in the holy land. For a long time, the three souls and seven spirits of the ancestors were not conscious. ”

"That means that later, your ancestor's three souls and seven spirits gradually became conscious, and now you are guarding her three souls and seven spirits?" Zheng Lei guessed.

"Barely I can say that, but that's not the case, eight hundred years after the Holy Land was banned, at that time I was still a little fox who had not opened my spiritual wisdom, and I inadvertently broke into the Holy Land, and in the Holy Land, I coincidentally fused the soul and soul of the ancestors, so I opened the spiritual wisdom, and I have cultivated until now. Hu Mei said.
