"Mmmmmmmmmm 」

"Hey, the drumsticks are mine. 」

"You're a liar! I didn't eat chicken thighs yesterday. Today it was my turn to eat. 」

"How many legs does a chicken have? You didn't eat it? I didn't eat it! Give it to me!"

"No, no!"

The dim daylight shone in through the window of the flower hall, and Jing Tianming was awakened by the noisy screams of children. The eight little boys, who were still arguing just now, are now performing all martial arts directly below Jing Tianming. The culprit that caused Bai'er's ears to be red and swollen, Hong'er's nose bleeds, and Lu'er's arms to be bruised is said to be a chicken leg that has been bitten.

Jing Tianming didn't even bother to watch the chicken leg war, but instead looked out the window, he originally thought that the morning sun was so dim and boring, but he didn't expect it to be evening. "I slept all day. It's no wonder, after all, I haven't slept for seven or eight days. Jing Tianming tried to swing his feet and shrug his shoulders, but it was difficult to do so when he was tied up by layers of Jiao Jinsuo. I can't even speak, and I still have my sleeve in my mouth, "How can I let the little ghost down there find out that I'm awake? or even ...... Scamming ...... Oh, no, how do you want them to let me go?" he thought, tilting his head.

When Jing Tianming finally found out that he could only hang in the air and shake around like a slewing insect that liked to tie itself in rotten leaves, he simply gave up. The chicken leg war on the ground was quickly settled, and when Huang Er swallowed the burnt and tender chicken thigh, he also found that Jing Tianming had woken up.

"He's awake. He woke up. Huang Er slurred his words, and his muscles almost fell out of his mouth where he was changing his teeth.

"Oops, the gold ingots are awake!" shouted Lu'er

"Oh, no! hurry, hurry. Hong'er exclaimed.

"Yes, hurry up, eat quickly!" Bai Er panicked.

"Yes, yes, before the mother-in-law lets him down, eat all the dishes. 」

"What are you afraid of? If we don't speak, how will the gold ingots know that these dishes are all cooked for him by the palace master. 」

"Oh! He doesn't know. Shall we eat slowly?"

"Eat slowly, eat slowly. The palace master often said that if you eat too fast, you will choke. 」

Although Jing Tianming was hung in the air, he could hear it clearly in his ears. I know that a few little ghosts are deliberately saying it to annoy themselves, but they are still very annoyed. He scolded in his heart, "These little hairy boys, they actually ate the food that Ah Yue cooked for me while I was asleep. Knowing that he couldn't eat it, Jing Tianming couldn't help but look down to see what good dishes Ke Yue had cooked, and Yu was looking at his stomach and gurgled Yu loudly.

"Alright, alright. Bai Er added the last bit of soup at the bottom of the bowl, and shouted triumphantly, "You have eaten it all! 」

The first thing Granny Jiang did after she came was to reward Jing Tianming's three crutches first. The three sticks hit the chest and abdomen continuously, and if it weren't for the layers of Jiaojin rope blocking, Jing Tianming would definitely vomit blood.

Obviously she was the one who beat people, but Granny Jiang's expression was very aggrieved, and she said, "If it wasn't for my girl to stop her, I would have killed you a long time ago. 」

「......」

"No thanks. 」

「......」

"Alright, children, what are you waiting for? 」

"Yay! Roast pig, roast pig!"

"Wrong. It's a roasted ingot!"

"Okay yes! Roasted ingots, roasted ingots!" With the concerted efforts of the eight children, the black smoke soon took advantage of the fire to crackle, and smoked Jing Tianming, who was hanging on the roof beam, like ham. Jing Tianming was choked with tears, and he had to greet Granny Dong's ancestors for eight generations in his heart. I hoped that Keyue would come to herself soon, but she just didn't show up. It was getting hotter and hotter, knowing that it was futile, Jing Tianming still twisted it hard and wrote it down, but he didn't expect that the so-called Jiao Jin rope, which even the shadowless ghost could tie up, couldn't help him writhe it a few times, and with a snap, one of the four thin ropes was broken.

When Granny Jiang saw that the thin rope was broken, she immediately flew up to the beam, opened the bow left and right, slapped Jing Tianming twice, and then hooked the index finger of her right hand to break the swarthy rope. It turns out that the Jiaojin Rope of the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital is not only complicated to use, but it is also very difficult to unravel. The fine rope of twine mixed with human hair has to be burned, the cowhide and cow tendon are foamed, the copper wire and gold wire are intertwined and cut, and the black rope that does not know what it is has to be broken by a deep internal force.

"......" Jing Tianming didn't know what to say (because he still had his sleeve in his mouth), but looking at that expression, it should be very hot.

When the eight children saw him fall off the beam, they burst into laughter. laughed until Granny Jiang roared, and then hurriedly took out a large wooden box from the back of the flower hall. Some of the eight children have grasps, some scratch their feet, and some pull their heads. Lifting Jing Tianming up with all hands and feet, he forced it into the wooden box.

"Woo-" Jing Tianming's wail was much clearer, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by the chorus of the eight little children. The children carried the boxes and followed Granny Jiang out of the house.

"Hey, hey!" the children shouted for the first half hour. Later, the shouting gradually became messy, and then it was no longer heard.

"I can't see that this gold ingot is quite heavy. Lu'er's voice sounded a little gasping.

"Yes, yes. Why are the eight of us in charge of carrying the boxes?" Hong'er began to complain as well.

"Yes, yes, we are so pitiful, the gold ingots lie in it without any effort. 」

"Do you think I'm willing?" Jing Tianming thought secretly, "If you let me out, I can naturally go by myself." 」

"I'm tired!" "I'm tired too" "I'm not doing it anymore!" "I'm not doing it anymore" The four children gave up one after another. With a pop, the wooden box fell onto the road.

"Hey, why did you stop all of a sudden? Hit me on the head!" "Take a break!" "No! I'll be scolded later!" "Won't it be okay to take a break!" "Oh, let's put him on the ground first!" "My shoulders are so sore!" "Me too!" "Hey! Where did you just get knocked over?" "Here, you touch it, it's all swollen. "Really...... "Show me." "I'm going to touch it too!" "It's all gold ingots!"

Bang. The wooden box shook slightly.

Jing Tianming thought to himself, "What's my business?"

Knock, knock "Stinky Gold Ingots!" "He's all hurt him!" "Oops, my feet!" "Who taught you to kick so hard?" "I want to! I have another foot!" "Eh, if we kick like this, will the box break?" "Huh, yes!" "Yes......" "Yes......"

Jing Tianming secretly shouted, "No, no! Please kick as hard as you can! It's better to just take a small hammer out and hit it hard!"

But the wooden box didn't move, and the clattering stopped.

"A silly child is a silly child. Granny Jiang said in a voice, "Can't you push if you can't move? You see, the Weihe River is just ahead." Wouldn't it be better for you to push the boxes into the river, and you're done?"

"yes. "Ahead is the Wei River. "It's almost there, it's almost there!" "Push hard!" "Come on-" "Come on-oil-" "Hey-yo-hey-hey-hey-"

Hearing Granny Jiang's laughter coming from outside the box, Jing Tianming, who was tied up in the box, became nervous, "Could it be that Ah Yue didn't know that they concocted me like this."

"Yes, it must be. There was no way Ah Yue would allow them to sink me to the bottom of the river. This must be Granny Jiang's attention, she is trying to break up me and Ah Yue. Thinking about it, Jing Tianming couldn't help but sweat, but he still had the remaining two gold ropes wrapped around his body, and he couldn't move at all, so he had to writhe desperately in the wooden box. At first glance, it seems as if the box will jump on its own.

The sound of gurgling water came, and even Jing Tianming in the box could hear it clearly.

"The Wei River has arrived. Granny Jiang lifted the lid of the wooden box with one hand and said to Jing Tianming, "I can throw you into the river with my own hands to feed the fish." The old woman was so happy, alas! Look at me, I almost forgot about it. Granny Jiang took out the rotten cloth stuffed in Jing Tianming's mouth, "The old woman has something good to reward you boy." As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his sleeve, opened the cap, and poured all the contents of the bottle into Jing Tianming's mouth.

After forcing Jing Tianming to drink the potion, Granny Jiang smiled maliciously and said, "I know that your kid is capable of high endurance, and he has taken the Red Ice Toad without poison. But this one. It is the ten-day drunkenness concocted by the moon god Wuduan. It's not a poison, it's just a thing to keep your kid asleep for ten days. Okay, mother-in-law, I'll let you go to the bottom of the river and get enough sleep. 」

「......」

"What are you talking about? Mother-in-law, I can't hear clearly. Granny Jiang was about to cover the wooden box, but Jing Tianming's mouth was vague and he didn't know what to say.

"I say...... Aa ...... Ah Yue, she, she knows...... No...... Know ......."

"Hey! The effect of the drug is so fast. Granny Jiang smiled with satisfaction, "You know what? 」

"Know...... You...... River...... Shen"

"Nonsense!" Granny Jiang grimaced, "Of course she does! I'll tell you honestly, boy, it was all planned by the girl. Since that day you rescued those Confucian people, everything has been arranged by the girl. 」

Perhaps seeing Jing Tianming shaking his head, Granny Jiang said again, "What? You don't believe it? Alas, think about it, if the old woman wants to take care of you, will she have such patience?"

"Moon...... Yue ......" Jing Tianming's mouth was vague, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all, but Granny Jiang said, "I know you want to ask where the girl is, right? Now, I won't hide it from you, as soon as you fell down last night, the girl left here to find Xin Yanyan's bad luck." 」

"Yan ......" Jing Tianming heard this, and he was really worried about Xin Yanyan's comfort, but the ten days of drunkenness were indeed extraordinary, and he was no longer able to make any sound. But the wooden box made two loud thumps. The first sound was that Granny Jiang threw the lid of the wooden box, and the second sound was that Granny Jiang used her cane to give the big wooden box a hard blow.

The wooden box containing Jing Tianming was so strong that it tilted and immediately slid down the slope of the river. Then there was a plop, and the wooden box fell into the Wei River as Keyue wished. However, Jing Tianming did not hear these two loud noises, because he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Hah-huh. Jing Tianming opened his eyelids, loosened his limbs, and lay on the bed and yawned well. Comfortable bed, soft futon, and thin embroidered veil for shading, Jing Tianming opened his eyes and saw these embroidered quilts and brocade curtains, fragrant pillows and warm pavilions, thinking that he hadn't woken up at all, so he closed his eyes again. Unexpectedly, when I closed my eyes, I really fell asleep again, and I slept until dawn the next day, and then I really woke up.

"Strange, strange. Probably accustomed to the rude treatment of Granny Jiang and Keyue, Jing Tianming was not used to the favorable environment in front of him. He rolled over and sat up, got out of bed, and stretched his limbs a little. Except for the hunger and a slight weakness, there was no discomfort in the whole body.

"Ah Yue—"

"Mother-in-law—"

"Kiss baby Ah Yue—"

"Stinky mother-in-law—" Jing Tianming pushed open the wooden door of the bedroom, and shouted out for a long time, but when no one responded, he dared to shout and scream. Walking upstairs and downstairs, there was no one else in the house, so I had to turn back into the room. When I entered the room, I saw a green silk gown, a white satin belt, and a pair of clean shoes hanging on the screen in front of the bed. All the sizes of the clothes are obviously customized according to Jing Tianming's figure.

"Good workmanship!" Jing Tianming picked up his robe and praised, "But my body is dirty and smelly, and if I change into these good clothes, I don't have a tyrannical thing." Jing Tianming muttered to himself, while reaching out to touch his neck, the original oily and greasy place, now it is clean and refreshing, how can there be a little dirt. "It's weird, when did you wash it? This is telling me to change my clothes?

Changing into brand-new clothes, hats, shoes and socks, Jing Tianming simply re-tied his hair in front of the bronze mirror, which made him look even more chic. Jing Tianming looked in the mirror and saw that the person in the mirror was richly dressed and radiant, but he stuck out his tongue.

"This house is the same as the one in Xianyang, the furniture is very luxurious, could it be another hidden place in the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital? I don't know where this is?" Jing Tianming walked to the window and pushed the window outward, it was noon, and there was a round of red sun in the sky, and the sun was blazing. In the shining sunlight, I saw that there were two-story buildings of similar height, one after the other, winding out backwards and forwards like a crescent moon. On the far left of the many houses was a green mountain, and what he had seen at this time was a great city built around the mountain.

"Weird. What a magnificent city!" Jing Tianming estimated in his heart, "In the past few years, I have been running around, and I have never seen such a village. Where the hell is this?Why did Ah Yue send me here?" Jing Tianming didn't close the window, just sat cross-legged on the table and thought about it, "No matter what Granny Jiang says, Ah Yue will never want my life. Throw me in a wooden box, maybe, but not to kill me. She must have sent me here for a deep purpose. But what does this mean...... And what is it?"

"Goo-lur-g-" Jing Tianming didn't have a score in his heart, and his stomach screamed first. It's okay that my stomach doesn't bark, but when I scream, I feel even hungrier, "I'd better get something to chew first." Jing Tianming ran around the house, obviously it was a big building, but there was no kitchen in it, not even a stove.

"What kind of bird place is this? don't the people who live here need to eat?" Jing Tianming couldn't help but complain. Seeing that his stomach was screaming more and more miserable, although Jing Tianming was reluctant to leave here, he had to go to the street first to find something to feed his stomach, hoping that Ke Yue would not come back when he left.

When I just looked through the inside of the house, I vaguely felt that something was wrong. Walking out into the street at this time, this weird feeling is even stronger.

The buildings and rooms that come into view are made of trees more than thirty years old, and the size of the houses is very similar, the bluestone floor tiles under the feet, each piece of which is an arm's length and width, are continuously paved all over the city, and the pedestrians on the road are all glorious and richly dressed, and some even wear mink belts.

The more joy he saw, the more doubtful Jing Tianming became.

"What's wrong?" is not even Xianyang. Jing Tianming looked left and right, carefully observed, and finally found the difference between this place and other places.

There was not a single rotten house, not a single broken brick, not a single poor person on this whole street. No matter how bad the clothes are, they are also cotton cotton shoes, not to mention the cleanliness, and the workmanship is extremely fine. Not to mention ragged, not even a patch of straw sandals can be seen.

After noticing this, Jing Tianming quickly gained insight into the other phenomena he saw.

There are no poor people.

There were no patients.

There are no old people.

No children.

Not a single one. He took a step forward, becoming more and more cautious. "This place is weird. An inappropriate feeling rose in my heart, "I have to find Ah Yue and get her out of here." 」

Jing Tianming was secretly surprised, and suddenly smelled the aroma of wine and food. He turned his face to look, it turned out that the entire line near the left was full of restaurants and restaurants, and at this time, it was noon, and the guests who came to eat and drink crowded a bluestone avenue.

Of course, these hundreds of people are also all dressed in gold and silver, not to mention that they are all extremely strong men. But Jing Tianming was really hungry since he met Ke Yue, smelling the aroma of wine and rice, and the worms in his stomach were weird, so he couldn't care so much anymore, so he pulled his two feet and entered the nearest restaurant-Xuanyuan Building.

"Bring me a pound of bread first. Before Jing Tianming's ass sat down, he had already raised his voice and shouted, "Quick, quick! I'll order other drinks and dishes while eating!"

There were three drinkers at the next table, and they couldn't help but laugh at his anxious look. One of them laughed and said, "Dude, it looks like you just got off work, isn't your public meal bad today? Are you hungry?"

What kind of dinner, what kind of work? Of course, I don't understand it.

But Jing Tianming is not in vain, and his kung fu has already been practiced at home. He first stuffed two pieces of bread into his mouth, and then shook his head and said indistinctly, "No! Listen, my stomach is screaming." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud grunt in his belly.

The three men at the next table couldn't help but laugh again. Another shook his glass and said, "I think it was the same when I was on my shift last month, when I was not a good cook, and the crispy skin of the roast chicken was dry, and it was like firewood. But I guess it's just a bad meal, so forget it. Your brother is picky, but you'd rather be hungry. Jing Tianming straightened up and said, "Is the skin of the roast chicken unpalatable? I think your brother is picky!" There was a look of great approval on his face.

Seeing Jing Tianming's wind and clouds, the hotel ran the hall as if he had swept away a plate of bread, and immediately hurried over with a large piece of hot cake, put the cake plate on the table with one hand, and put a wine glass on the other hand, his hands and feet were very clean and neat.

Jing Tianming was about to reach out and pour the wine, but the wine jug had been lifted up by the shopkeeper of Xuanyuan Tower. The shopkeeper greeted him courteously, "What else do you want, sir? I see that you are very angry, today is the first time to come to our Xuanyuan Tower, right? Our ice sweet and sour mixed fish and pepper chicken here are the most famous. Vinegar is a real old vinegar, and this sour smell can float up to ten miles away. 」

Jing Tianming hummed a few times, but he didn't say anything. It's not that he's putting on a show, but he's stuffed his mouth full of bread and chewing it, where is the time to reply?

The shopkeeper was not like an ordinary businessman, he was very patient, he smiled and pestled aside, and waited for Jing Tianming to swallow the cake before continuing: "What kind of food do adults like to eat? 」

"Pick up a few plates of famous ones. The dishes are casual, just be quick!"

"Done!" the shopkeeper smiled and said, "It must be fast! It must be fast!

It didn't take long for three hot dishes to be served. Jing Tianming opened his bow left and right, holding the cake in one hand and the vegetables in the other, only hating that he didn't have an extra arm to serve the wine glass. He was so hungry and depressed for several days that he knew that he was shy, and he couldn't take care of it for a while, so he secretly thought, "It's a big deal, I'll take this new dress and put it back on the torn one, so that everyone in this city can see what it means to be poor." Hahaha. The idea is set, and it is even more indulgent, but there is nothing more bliss in the world than this.

Jing Tianming was munching on his own, and the three guests at the next table had finished their meal. "Slow down, brothers, go first. The three of them were very friendly, and they didn't forget to say hello to Jing Tianming when they left. I saw them raise their hands to find the shopkeeper, and one of them pulled up the right sleeve of his shirt, and the two next to him pulled their collars down slightly. But seeing that the three of them have sub-optimal tattoos on their right arms, the middle of their necks, and the sides of their necks, although they are different in size and color, they are all the same ghostly fangs, which are the marks of Guigu.

Jing Tianming almost choked, and hurriedly poured two sips of wine, secretly thinking, "Guigu has always acted secretly, why are these people acting so openly?"

turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, but saw that the shopkeeper saw the ghost valley tattoos of the three people, not only was he not afraid, but he smiled slightly, and took care of himself to invite the messy cups and plates on the table to run the hall. And the three people from the Ghost Valley waved at Jing Tianming, who continued to gobble, and didn't pay, laughing with each other and leaving Xuanyuan Tower.

Jing Tianming saw that there was no fear on the faces of the two people who ran the hall and the shopkeeper, and his heart became even more suspicious: "It stands to reason that ordinary people don't recognize the Guigu totem, but the two of them obviously recognize it and are not afraid, could it be that they are also disciples of Guigu?" He was full of doubts, and he had no clue for a while, so he could only be secretly vigilant, and continued to eat and drink as usual.

After a while, another man nearby got up and left the table after eating, and the shopkeeper had just walked towards the man, who had already spread out his palm and raised it towards the shopkeeper, and his feet did not stop, and he walked out of the restaurant while burping. Seeing that the shopkeeper's face was full of joy in an instant, he bowed and shouted, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! Your lord will have to come to the shop more often in the future!"

With just a glance, Jing Tianming had already seen the pattern in the man's palm, although it was the same ghost face and fangs, it was not cyan, and the ghost face was as red as cinnabar. This was the first time Jing Tianming had seen a red ghost face. Judging from the shopkeeper's face and courtesy, the red ghost face seems to have a higher status than the cyan ghost face.

The more Jing Tianming looked at it, the more frightened he became: "Why are there so many people from the Ghost Valley here, and they are all blatant? Could it be that the nest of the Ghost Valley is near the left, accumulating prestige all the year round, and the people in this city are accustomed to it? Why did Ah Yue send me here? Could it be that the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital are really as Lu Yuanding said, and they have already been in the same breath and in the same stream as the Ghost Valley?"

Seeing that the crowd of people who were leaving one after another lit up the ghost valley marks on their bodies, Jing Tianming faintly felt that something was wrong. Looking down, the three dishes on his table have bottomed out, and he immediately called two more dishes and half a catty of cakes, and ate the second round leisurely, planning to find out the situation in front of him before making plans.

This Xuanyuan Building is obviously doing a good business, and it is past noon at this time, but the diners in the store are still in an endless stream, changing batch after batch. Jing Tianming ate more and more slowly, and ate more and more slowly, and then he simply began to pour wine, because he found that he had been sitting for most of the day, and he didn't see half of the guests eating and taking out the money to pay the bill, and everyone showed their ghost face tattoos before leaving, and there was no exception.

As time passed, Jing Tianming roughly figured out the mystery of the ghost face tattoo. It seems that the ghost face pattern has about four colors, one black, two purple, three red, and four blue. Black is the top, and cyan is the bottom. As for the difference between the high and low colors, how did he notice it? This is all thanks to the fact that the running hall and the shopkeeper in this store are actually very realistic, and the smiling faces and greetings of the two people are also divided into four grades according to the four colors from large to small.

"Yes, yes. Jing Tianming secretly recalled, "Many years ago, when I met the four Xiao of the Ghost Valley, didn't that Chun Lao wear black clothes, Bai Qianhong wore purple clothes, Liu Daimei wore red, and Shu Baiyu wore blue clothes. 」

But Jing Tianming was not the only one who was observing Bill, the shopkeeper saw that he had been sitting all afternoon and did not leave, and had already looked at him several times, looking quite suspicious, and secretly pulled the running hall aside, and the two pointed at Jing Tianming.

Jing Tianming saw that the emotion in his eyes was not good, and thought, "This is good. It seems that not only do I have to be the first poor person in this city, but I also have to work hard to be the first non-ghost valley disciple in the city. 」

He was about to preemptively strike, swallowing a few sips of wine, smacking his lips, squinting his eyes, and pretending to be drunk. grabbed the flask and was about to fall into the face of a person next to him, but the man suddenly reached out and pressed it lightly on his arm, calling out, "Brother Yue?"

"Huh?"

"Brother Yue Gao. 」

"Huh, do you recognize me?"

"Why doesn't the little brother recognize it, Brother Yue has drunk too much, right?" The man was tall and mighty, and although he was born with a pockmarked face, his eyes were full of heroism. Jing Tianming had already noticed that this pockmark had stared at him several times, and he had made up his mind that if he wanted to find trouble, he would start with this person. I don't know that I haven't had time to find trouble, but people have already found my own head.

Jing Tianming tilted his head to look at it, and couldn't remember who this pock-faced man was? Although I have made friends everywhere, I have never had any contact with the people of Guigu. 」

"Hahaha, Brother Yue really likes to joke!" The pock-faced man suddenly burst out laughing, so loud that everyone in the restaurant looked sideways.

"Hahahaha, TOEFL TOEFL. 」

"Yes, yes, yes, it's been a long time. It's been a long time!"

"What? you and I are the same immortal! 」

I saw that the horse-faced man tilted his head, approached Jing Tianming at once, and left again, and his voice was louder than the other. But in fact, Jing Tianming didn't say anything at all, it was all the pockmarks talking to himself.

Jing Tianming's eyes widened as he watched Na Mazi play a one-man show, the more he watched it, the more funny it became, and he simply cooperated with Na Mazi, and followed the other party to make a surprise and inexplicable situation, and his mouth was "Huh!" and "Ah!" in a timely manner.

Na Mazi acted for a while, pulled Jing Tianming to stand up, and said, "What kind of Xuanyuan Tower is this? Come on, come to me, and wait for the younger brother to cook tea and serve wine himself." Let's go!"

"Okay, let's go!" Jing Tianming shouted as well.

When Ma Khan passed by the shopkeeper of the restaurant, he lifted the sleeve of his left arm, and it was a black ghost face. Seeing that the shopkeeper was surprised and delighted, he ran to see off the guests with the runner, and the two bowed next to the door, shouting in unison: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, please come again!" After the pockmark pulled Jing Tianming out of Xuanyuan Tower, he stopped talking, but just signaled for Jing Tianming to follow him. The two of them walked for about half an hour, and it was getting late before they came to the door of a large mansion. The pockmark led Jing Tianming around the back door, but instead of entering the main courtyard, he walked through a forest and pushed the door into the firewood house.

Jing Tianming put his hands behind his back, standing outside the door with a smile but not following. The pockmark turned around and saw it, and said with a slight smile: "I heard that Your Excellency is strong in martial arts and has great courage, why are you afraid now? There is no hidden mechanism in this house, if you don't come in, do you want you and me to catch up outside the house?"

Jing Tianming glared at the person in front of him, and while he was overjoyed, he did not forget to be vigilant, and hurriedly stepped into the door, closed the door properly, and then hugged the person, and said with great joy: "Liu Bi, why are you, why are you here?"

The man disguised as a pock-faced man was Jing Tianming's childhood companion Liu Bi. I haven't seen him for eight years, and now although he is only in his early twenties, he is the chief disciple of Confucianism, second only to Shao Guangqing. Except for Shao Guangqing and Ziyu couples, everyone in the door calls him the senior brother.

After talking straight from last year but knowing that his life was in danger, he secretly handed over a white fish jade pendant to himself, Liu Bi ran around to solve the mystery of white jade, secretly laid out and searched, it can really be said that it took a lot of hard work to get into this place, but he didn't expect to meet Jing Tianming in Xuanyuan Tower.

"I'm just going to ask you. How did you get here?" Liu Bi asked rhetorically, "I see your cramped appearance in Xuanyuan Tower, you must have just arrived, right? Do you know what kind of place this is? What are you doing here?"

"A few days ago, I couldn't find you among the Confucian scholars, and I was really anxious to kill me. Jing Tianming also asked, "Where did you go when you were a child? Didn't the people from Guigu come to snatch the white jade? Are you injured? Is the white jade that Brother Tan handed over to you to keep still on you?"

The two of them, who are like brothers, haven't seen each other for eight years, and they seem to be asking questions non-stop. As a result of the two rushing to speak, neither of them could hear clearly. Jing Tianming and Liu Bi were stunned for a moment, and then laughed relatively loudly.

"I'm glad you helped me out of the restaurant just now, otherwise I really don't know what to do. Jing Tianming patted Liu Bi on the shoulder, Liu Bi took his hand, and the two sat down cross-legged at the same time.

After laughing, the joy of knowing that the other was okay quickly disappeared. The atmosphere in the firewood room suddenly became very stiff. If it weren't for the fact that Jing Tianming rescued the Confucian who was killed by the pit a few days ago, Liu Bi would have stopped treating him as a friend in the past eight years. But he happened to appear in this place at this time, and Liu Bi's heart was full of doubts.

Jing Tianming saw that Liu Bi wanted to speak and stopped, so he said, "I'll say it first. 」

Liu Bi nodded and said, "First of all, how did you get here?"

"That's absolutely true. Jing Tianming shrugged his shoulders and scratched his head, and replied, "I'm also inexplicable. When I woke up today, I was already here. Jing Tianming saw that Liu Bi's face was full of disbelief, and pushed him, "I didn't lie to you. Ah Yue got me. 」

"Ah Yue?" Liu Bi exclaimed, "You mean Ke Yue?"

Jing Tianming nodded and sighed, "Yes, now that her name is Ke Yue, and she has also become the head of the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital, it seems that you already know it." To tell you the truth, I was tied up by Ah Yue, thrown into a wooden box, and floated down the river. Jing Tianming said his guess.

Jing Tianming originally thought that Liu Bi would laugh when he heard how Ke Yue was evil, but he didn't expect Liu Bi to get angrier the more he listened.

"This Keyue has gone astray and is drowning day by day, and it is no longer the Ah Yue of the year. Liu Bi's face was heavy and he said, "Tianming, eight years ago, you ruined your reputation for this woman, and now you are finally a new person, but you must not repeat the mistakes of the past. 」

"No, no, no!" Jing Tianming hurriedly said, "Liu Bi, eight years ago, you and I were all wrong to blame Ah Yue. The truth about Gailan's death was revealed at the moment. After a little hesitation, he also informed Liu Bi of Ziyu's identity and Zhao Nanyang's suspiciousness. Jing Tianming said solemnly: "I know that Ziyu's identity is now the Lady of Confucianism, and this matter is very involved, I can't tell you who told me, but you believe me, what that person said is absolutely credible, Ah Yue is really innocent. 」

Jing Tianming couldn't tell if the expression on Liu Bi's face was not believing him, or if he already knew. I saw Liu Bi nodding and saying, "It seems that you don't hide anything from me, so it's very good. It's not worth it for our brothers. Liu Bi held Jing Tianming's hand and said earnestly, "Tianming, even if we were wrong to blame Ah Yue eight years ago, you must know that Gao Yue eight years ago may be innocent, but Ke Yue is definitely not today!"

"I don't believe it!"

"Tianming!" Liu Bi's words were full of reproach, "You and I grew up together, and I don't know about your infatuation with Ah Yue. But as a brother, how can I let you repeat the mistakes of the past and go astray? Let me tell you the truth now, since Brother Tan handed over the white jade to me, first the Guigu, and then the disciples of Keyue and the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital have been chasing after me. If it weren't for the brother's fate, he would have died at the hands of Keyue. 」

"Impossible!"

"Are you still delusional? Listen, Guigu and Shendu Jiugong have joined forces......! She first came forward to trick me into handing over the white jade, but I was not fooled, so she took the palm. You see, I still have her handprints on me!" Liu Bi pulled open his upper clothes, and there were marks of injury on his chest.

"This ...... Is this what Ah Yue did?"

"But no, these two palms shook me, and when I fell to the ground, the enchantress ......."

"Don't call her a witch!"

"Forget it. Keyue, she took advantage of me to fall to the ground, and also poisoned me with powder. Throw me into the wilderness and sleep for ten days. 」

"Yes...... Ten days drunk. Jing Tianming muttered.

"When I woke up, the white jade on my body was gone. She must have taken it. However, it is a shame that she poisoned me, otherwise I would have been arrested by the Qin soldiers, I am afraid that this is the demon girl...... Keyue didn't expect it. 」

"That's enough! I took her once eight years ago. It's useless no matter who says it now, I believe Ah Yue. 」

"You, you're really! She's ...... with Guigu."

"Silence!" Jing Tianming heard footsteps not far from outside the house, and suddenly interrupted Liu Bi's words, saying, "Someone is coming. 」

Liu Bi immediately stopped. I listened intently, but I heard nothing. I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart, "I didn't hear anything, Tianming's internal strength is much better than mine. It turns out that what everyone said is true. 」

Not long after, a big man pushed the door in, followed by a hunchbacked old man. The two of them pushed open the door of the firewood room and were surprised to see Liu Bi and Jing Tianming, who had taken off their disguises, but on the contrary, the expression on Liu Bi's face did not change. The big man with a big nose like a bucket, a fat face, a bald head shiny and shiny, and a big tattoo of the ghost valley mark on the top, but it was the purple ghost face. The big man hugged Jing Tianming and said excitedly, "Brother, you are really alive!"

"Huh. The taste of being hugged by a bald fat man was obviously not very pleasant, and I saw Jing Tianming's face full of embarrassment.

"Why, brother, don't recognize me?" the big man asked.

"If he recognizes you, I should cry. The hunchbacked old man interjected.

The bald man laughed and nodded again and again. "Yes, yes, I forgot. Then he grabbed his bald head and began to tear it down. Seeing this, the hunchbacked old man hurriedly shook his hand, "Huh! Huh! you be careful...... Tsk, oops, hey......" I saw a fat fake skin ripped from the top of the bald man's head all the way down to his neck, and suddenly revealed his original hair, nose and cheeks, but this person was a flower general.

This time, Jing Tianming had tears in his eyes, and he scolded with a smile: "Bastard!

Hua Sheng laughed, casually stuffed the fake skin in his hand to the hunchbacked old man next to him, patted the old man's shoulder and said, "It's all due to his exquisite craftsmanship. 」

"What a powerful disguise. Jing Tianming exclaimed.

The old man had a bitter face, holding the tattered fake skin and rummaging through it, and said with great regret, "Ruined...... Ruined...... It's all ruined...... Can't you tear it slowly? Do you have to do it so messily? You have to do it again. 」

"Let me tell you a little bit about it. Liu Bi patted the old man's back to comfort him, "This is Jing Tianming. This is my fellow disciple, named Duanmuyu. 」

"Duanmu?" Jing Tian said clearly, "Could it be related to Aunt Rong?"

"Did you say Duanmu Rong?" said the old man as he unbuttoned his coat, pulled off a cloth bag from his back, and immediately stopped hunching over, straightened up and said, "Well, she's my cousin. You call her aunt, so in terms of seniority, you should be my nephew, I call you good nephew, huh? So what should you call me?"

Liu Bi explained to Jing Tianming, "Senior Brother Duanmu is a member of the same clan as my ancestor, but since he has entered the Confucian sect, he and I are called brothers of the same generation. 」

This end of the wooden fish since childhood addicted to painting, carving, very late into the Confucian sect, the essence of disguise has been the only in the world. Because Confucianism has never liked protégés and playthings, Duanmuyu can only be very low-key and secretly obsessed with study, although this is a master, few people on the rivers and lakes know about it.

"Yes, yes, yes. General Hua Sheng also said, "Don't fall for this hunchbacked old man, he is actually very young. 」

"The surname is Hua, why are you pulling my hind legs?" Duanmuyu's speech, posture, and movements at this time were completely energetic young people, but his appearance was in the shell of an old man.

Jing Tianming saw that he was acting funny and quipped, "Uncle Duanmu, your disguise skills are amazing, come and help me change my appearance tomorrow, right?"

"Good boy, what's so difficult about this?" Duanmuyu is a casual person, not as restrained as other Confucian disciples, and he heard Jing Tianming call him uncle, and he called him a child with a big mouth.

Thinking that he could show off his skills again, Duanmuyu looked Jing Tianming up and down excitedly, "Looking at your size, you should be able to pretend to be a black ghost." Where should I draw this ghostly face? This time I will definitely paint it in a place where I don't need to redraw it every day. Then again, who knows if Hua Sheng's head will be oiled like this?"

"Alright, alright," Liu Bi smiled and pushed Duanmu Yu, "Since you are the only one here who hasn't taken off your mask yet, please ask Brother Yu to go again and bring some wine and food back." 」

"That's right!" shouted Admiral Hua Sheng, "I should have a good drink or two with Brother Jing today. 」

"Got it. You drunkards. Duanmuyu stuffed his hunchback back again, and pretended to say, "Old man, I'll go now, cough! 」
