Chapter 18: The Old Fox

As soon as he walked out of the thatched house, Xiao Ning saw a group of Sanssouci Sect disciples wearing coarse cloth clothes walking down the mountain on the mountain road not far away.

"What are these people going to do?" Xiao Ning quickly approached the group with doubts, and it happened that he was about to ask where the inspector of the Casting Department lived.

"Senior brother, where are you going?" Xiao Ning asked, holding a Sanssouci Sect disciple who was walking at the back of the pedestrian.

The person who was pulled by Xiao Ning was the same age as Xiao Ning, and his face was not good-looking, but he seemed to be very kind.

The unattractive young man looked Xiao Ning up and down, and then said, "Are you new here?"

"Yes, junior brother Xiao Ning is going to look for senior brother inspector. ”

"Oh, it really is. But now that the time for the sect to recruit disciples has passed, you might as well come back next year. After the man with the basket finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but Xiao Ning hurriedly grabbed it.

"Senior brother, it doesn't matter if this time has passed, I have here to test a letter written by my brother's deceased, and it is with this letter that I came here to find him. Xiao Ning saw that the man in the basket was leaving, and hurriedly made up a lie, which made him tell the place of inspection.

"Oh, that's right. Then you will look for this mountain road all the way up, and if you see a place with flowers in a small courtyard, it will be the residence of Senior Brother Chen Daoguan. After the basket man finished speaking, he left, and Xiao Ning began to walk up the mountain road he said.

After about half a pillar of incense, Xiao Ning walked halfway up the mountain with a sweaty head, and then saw a small attic in the green trees.

"I guess this is it. Xiao Ning approached the attic and found that this senior brother Chen seemed to like flowers and plants very much, and actually planted many flowers and plants of different shapes in the courtyard of the attic.

"Who's coming?" Xiao Ning hadn't approached the attic yet, and a voice that looked like a middle-aged man came from the attic.

"Senior Brother Xiao Ning came to meet Senior Brother Chen. Xiao Ning didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he directly set himself up and called himself a junior brother.

"Xiao Ning?" The middle-aged man paused for a long time as he read Xiao Ning's name, and then said to Xiao Ning.

"Come in and talk. ”

"Senior Brother Xie. ”

The door of the attic was pushed open by Xiao Ning, and an old man sitting in front of the desk entered his eyes, and when he saw the old man, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart, this feeling was like being targeted by an old fox.

Holding back the doubts in his heart, Xiao Ning smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chen is early. ”

The old man of Chen Daoguan did not answer Xiao Ning's words directly, but picked up a cup of flower tea on the desk and drank it.

"What peak are you?" After taking a few sips of tea, Chen Daoguan put down the teacup, looked at Xiao Ning and asked.

"I am your junior brother, so naturally I am a disciple of the third peak. I came this time because I accidentally dropped my identity token when I went out on a mission, so I came to my brother to make up for one. Xiao Ning said with a smile.

"Nonsense!" Chen Daoguan listened to Xiao Ning's words, slapped the table and stood up directly, the momentum on his body soared instantly, and he directly reached the peak of the tenth layer of Qi training, and there was a cold flickering in his eyes, as if as long as Xiao Ning's words were wrong, he would be killed!

Seeing this scene, the idea that he could rely on the storage bag he snatched from Chang Wude and them to obtain the third peak identity token on the grounds that he had lost his identity token was suddenly shattered.

"Senior brother is angry, senior brother is angry, I have two things here, if senior brother doesn't dislike it, please laugh and accept it. After Xiao Ning clearly felt Chen Daoguan's cultivation, he knew that he had no strength to resist, although he didn't know if the two storage items he had taken could impress him, but at the moment there was nothing he could do but try.

Catch the two storage bags that Xiao Ning threw over, and after opening them, he saw that there were several 'white crystals' in them, which eased up a little.

"You came to me for the identity token?" Chen Daoguan rolled his eyes, and although he knew Xiao Ning's original intention, he still asked deliberately.

"Senior brother, senior brother is indeed here today for the identity token. Xiao Ning barely squeezed out a smile and said.

"Do you know that now that the Sanssouci Sect has passed the time to recruit disciples, you will not be able to enter the sect at all if you come now. After Chen Daoguan finished speaking, he threw off his robe and sat down.

"This, the junior brother does know, but all roads lead to Rome, and people can naturally find a way, not to mention that Senior Brother Chen is still a smart person. ”

Listening to Xiao Ning's words, Chen Daoguan laughed, "All roads lead to Rome, you are quite knowledgeable, but now it is not so simple to enter the sect." Chen Daoguan said and paused deliberately.

When Xiao Ning heard this, his eyebrows jumped, so he smiled and said: "It's not simple, there is a way, as long as Senior Brother can let me Xiao Ning enter the sect, I should repay Senior Brother for his kindness." Xiao Ning said and bowed with his fists.

"Solution... Naturally, there is, but whether you can do it or not depends on your creation. Chen Daoguan said this, looking at Xiao Ning's reaction, Xiao Ning naturally did not hesitate.

"As long as Senior Brother has a way, I, Xiao Ning, will definitely do it. ”

"Okay, since Senior Brother Xiao is so confident, then I'll give you this way. Chen Daoguan said as he took out a wooden token and threw it to Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning took the token, he didn't expect to get the token so easily, and was about to thank Chen Daoguan, but he heard him say.

"This token was found after a disciple of the Third Peak disappeared inexplicably when he went out on a mission many years ago, and you can use it. Chen Daoguan was talking, Xiao Ning listened to his words and obviously hesitated, and when he saw him looking at himself suspiciously, Chen Daoguan continued.

"I have one more thing for you to do here, and once you've done that, your identity token will be ready. Chen Daoguan looked at Xiao Ning meaningfully, and Xiao Ning didn't know what he meant.

"Do you want me to be a cow and a horse, or do you want me to die?" Xiao Ning thought to himself, and couldn't help but pout.

"I don't know what task my senior brother wants me to do? If this task is too difficult, I'm afraid that with my junior brother's cultivation, I am afraid that I will not be able to complete it. "Xiao Ning is not stupid, Chen Daoguan wants to do the murder and arson by himself, so he would rather not have this identity token. It's just a pity that his two bags of storage were given to Chen Daoguan for nothing.

Xiao Ning said that he already had the intention of returning the token and leaving, but Chen Daoguan waved his hand.

"Senior Brother Xiao, don't panic, I naturally don't want you to do anything dangerous, I just want you to do this thing, just to find a black iron box that I lost in the black iron mine many years ago. I remember that the tin box was the only thought that my relatives gave me when I left home and went up the mountain, and it was also the only valuable thing in my family, and now that decades have passed, my loved ones have passed away, and I want to find the only thought more and more, so I asked you to find it for me. Chen Daoguan said that tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, which made Xiao Ning frown.

"This old thing... It's going to make a fuss. Xiao Ning, who didn't understand what Chen Daoguan's intentions were, beat a drum in his heart.

"As long as Senior Brother Xiao finds the iron box for me, I can promise you not only an identity token, but also a gift. Chen Daoguan laughed slightly as he spoke, revealing the wrinkles on his face.

Seeing that Chen Daoguan was seducing and acting, Xiao Ning also vaguely guessed that this iron box was unusual.

"Since it is the senior brother's dearest thoughts, and there is no danger, Xiao Ning will naturally not shirk it, as long as he finds it, he will definitely return it to the senior brother. ”

With the words of junior brother, I am relieved. Then, there is also a storage item here, which contains a few pieces of sect clothes, as well as the things that the disciples of the third peak do every day, you can take it back and study it carefully. Chen Daoguan said as he tossed a storage bag to Xiao Ning.

After taking over Chen Daoguan's storage, Xiao Ning said a few words politely before leaving.

"I was thinking that I could have a house to live in with an identity token, but I didn't expect this old fox to say that the house was full and let me solve it by myself. Walking on the way down the mountain, he muttered to himself, remembering the two storage bags he had lost.

"Damn old fox, take out my two storage items at once. "Xiao Ning didn't get much benefit at all, and even lost two storage items in a row, and his heart was dripping blood at this moment

After probably taking a cup of tea, Xiao Ning returned to his dilapidated thatched hut, and as soon as he sat down, he opened the storage given to him by Chen Daoguan's old fox, and found that there were indeed only a few clothes and a booklet inside, and immediately scolded.

"Iron rooster, old fox, let me find you the iron box, even if I find it, I won't give it to you!"
