Chapter 614: Undercurrent (I)
In the next few days, because the Dongfang family took over Huanggucheng, and Dongfang Yuming himself sat in the Tingfeng Pavilion, there were many fewer disputes in the city.
More and more children of famous families are pouring into this small city built by Huanggu Ancestor from all directions. Some people are swaggering through the market, and some are simple and low-key, and the originally small Huang Lonely City is almost crowded.
The inn has long been full, and even the T-shaped rooms that these local tyrants don't have to look at on weekdays are all full.
As a result, new caves were built outside the city, and many wandering traders came to do all kinds of trading.
Everyone is secretive about what they are coming from, or patiently and leisurely or restlessly waiting for something.
Seeing this scene, the Huanggu Old Ancestor was mixed with joy and sorrow, and he was more and more glad that he wisely handed over the Huanggu City to Dongfang Yuming for trusteeship.
If it weren't for that, these young men inside and outside the city, who were flying above the top and looking at no one well, would be able to tear down Huanggu City into ruins in less than half an hour.
However, the backstage of these little overlords is extremely hard, Penglai Immortal Palace, Great Light Sect, Dragon and Tiger Sect, Ghost Sea, Longkong Mountain......
Huanggu Ancestor has lived for nearly two thousand years, and he has never seen so many famous families.
The homework he must do every day now is to go to the Tingfeng Pavilion in the morning and evening to greet Dongfang Yuming, and by the way, listen to the latest instructions of the proprietress of the Tingfeng Pavilion.
But he didn't know that in fact, Dongfang Yuming was also secretly frightened.
According to the information collected by the Tingfeng Pavilion from all over the world, it has been determined that there are nearly one hundred and thirty people from all walks of life who have arrived so far, which is far beyond her expectations.
She wrote a letter two days earlier to send it to the nearest fifth sister through the blue bird to ask for help, and all she did was for her younger brother Dongfang Qiming.
"Madam, the little boy has been staying at the Mandarin Inn for three whole days, do you need to bring him back?"
Xie Yao pondered the hostess's mind and asked tentatively.
"What is he doing today?" Dongfang Yuming asked Xie Yao as he sorted out the files piled up like a hill on the table.
"As usual, go to the casino first to try today's luck, then go to the opposite building to drink, and finally be carried back to the inn by the mountain ointment. ”
He took out a roll of bamboo slips from his cuffs, respectfully placed them on the table and said, "This is the bill sent by Diao Xiaosi yesterday, a total of one hundred and sixty-two ingots of gold. ”
Dongfang Yuming sighed softly and said, "Forget it, as long as it doesn't exceed one thousand in the future, there is no need to report to me again." ”
Xie Yao wanted to speak and stopped: "Madam, I always feel that Diao Xiaosi's background is strange, and it is probably inappropriate for the little boy to stay with him all day long." ”
Dongfang Yuming smiled disappreciatively and said: "Qiming is rarely willing to make friends with people, since he is interested in Diao Xiaosi, let him play for a few more days." ”
Xie Yao bowed and responded: "Yes, my subordinates understand." I will send more people to protect the safety of the little boy. ”
"No need, just withdraw everyone. The Mandarin Inn is close at hand, so why bother? By the way, is Diao Xiaosi still refining talismans?"
"Yes, he always shut himself in the house, but he also stopped. Xie Yaoyu reported: "The little boy lived with him, and the girl surnamed Qi of the Ming Dao Sect didn't leave." ”
"Refining talisman ......" Dongfang Yuming glanced at a list placed on the table, which clearly listed the items that Diao Xiaosi had purchased in the refining shop that day, and even the quantity and price were exactly the same.
She thought for a moment and ordered: "This time I brought two pieces of candle dragon scale armor, as well as a small half box of Foggy Mountain Cloud Cream, you go to it yourself and give both things to Diao Xiaosi." ”
"Send ......?" Xie Yao looked surprised and hesitated, "If he asks his subordinates, how should he reply?"
Dongfang Yuming chuckled: "You just have to go with confidence, I promise he won't even ask a word." ”
Xie Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Madam Mingjian, my subordinates have always suspected that this kid has a lot to do with Thunder Immortal Venerable. I was ...... that day."
Dongfang Yuming waved his hand and said, "None of this is important. The important thing is that Qiming is with him. ”
Xie Yao bowed his head and said: "My subordinates understand, I will do what you explained." ”
Dongfang Yuming nodded and said, "By the way, I will inform Diao Xiaosi of the whereabouts of Ya Lauder and Long Chuyi." ”
Xie Yao was stunned and said, "But Elleder is ...... now"
Dongfang Yuming smiled: "You just tell him the news, and then leave immediately." ”
Xie Yao bowed and said, "Subordinates obey!" and left Dongfang Yuming's study.
According to Dongfang Yuming's instructions, he took the candle dragon scale armor and the foggy mountain cloud ointment, and came to the Mandarin Inn to see Diao Xiaosi with the makeup gorilla and the golden-ring witch.
The person who came out was the listless guy with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks who had been following Diao Xiaosi, Xie Yao and the two of them were smiling in the garden, and they were all over the world, and they were talking until their tongues trembled and their throats were dry, and Diao Xiaosi walked out unhurriedly.
It was the first time he had walked out of the room in three days, as if he had gone back to a long time ago when he was frantically immersed in talismans, hoping to make a fortune with it.
This time, he was going to refine the Nine Dragons Panhai Talisman, but the effect was not ideal.
In fact, in the three years that he was waiting for Diao Xiaobao to be born in Kunlun Mountain, Diao Xiaosi tried to refine a Nine Dragons Panhai Talisman, but as a result, a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures were wiped out, but he didn't even toss out a fart.
At that time, whether it was the materials required to refine the talisman, or his own comprehension and control of the laws of the Heavenly Dao, it was actually far from enough to support him to complete a treasure that should have belonged to the Heavenly Realm Immortal Talisman.
Even if the Wonderful Five Yin Talismans that were successfully refined before were only semi-finished products that had been castrated at most, and their power was certainly stronger than that of the best Dao Talisman in the mortal world, it was obviously not enough to use it in the Void Wilderness to deal with a guy like Hou Yuxuan.
On the way to Huang Lonely City, he had been thinking hard about this matter, and gradually grasped some important nodes in refining the Nine Dragons Panhai Talisman. It's a pity that after three days of hard work, the effect of refining talismans is not satisfactory. The realm is not enough, the materials are not enough, don't think about perfection.
"Lao Jie, you have something to do, is it my companion who has news?"
He looked at Xie Yao sullenly, and sat down on the threshold.
Xie Yao was displeased, he was a second-turn scattered immortal and an old minister of the Dongfang family, and now he followed Dongfang Yuming into the Tingfeng Pavilion, holding real power in his hands, and he was a well-known figure wherever he went. When Ren Huang Gu Ancestor saw him, he also had to politely call him "Immortal Venerable", but Diao Xiaosi opened his mouth and closed his mouth "Old Solution" and "Old Solution" endlessly, without the slightest sense of awe.
He pressed his displeasure and said, "Madame ordered me to send you two gifts. ”
"Gift, what gift?" Diao Xiaosi was quite surprised, and couldn't understand what Dongfang Yuming wanted to send someone to give a gift to pat himself?
- Could it be that Chu Wei was not strict with his words, or was Qi Hongyuan deliberately making trouble and passing some unspeakable words into Dongfang Yuming's ears?
Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but think of countermeasures in his mind, although he knew that he knew that it was very cool to be a person from an Oriental family, but Lao Tzu was also a person with a bottom line.
However, when Diao Xiaosi opened the brocade box handed over by Xie Yao and found that it contained the Candle Dragon Scale Armor and the Foggy Mountain Cloud Cream, he suddenly forgot anything related to the bottom line.
He didn't say much and put the brocade box in his pocket first, and then cleared his throat and excused himself: "Fairy Yu is so polite, no merit is not accepted, how can I be embarrassed to accept it?"
Xie Yao still maintained that smiling expression, watching this kid put things in his pocket, and began to be hypocritical with himself again!
It's no wonder that Diao Xiaosi was excited, with the two refining materials that can be called the finishing touch, the Candle Dragon Scale Armor and the Foggy Mountain Cloud Plaster, and a few small refining materials that are not difficult to find, the power of the Nine Dragons Panhai Fu has increased by several grades. This kind of carefully selected good things, not to mention Dongfang Yuming's door-to-door delivery, even if she doesn't send it, Diao Siye has to get it if she gives up her life.
When the two treasures were in the bag, Diao Xiaosi realized that he wondered, why didn't Dongfang Yuming send gold, silver, or beautiful women's mansions, but instead sent himself candle dragon scale armor and foggy mountain cloud ointment?
He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, realizing that this seemingly delicate and beautiful young woman was thoughtful and unfathomable, and had already deduced a lot of useful information from the clues he had purchased from the refining materials.
Even so, Diao Xiaosi didn't plan to return the meat to Xie Yao.
He got up and patted Xie Yao affectionately: "Old Jie, you are still a friend enough." Please thank Fairy Yu on my behalf, and wish her twenty years and eighteen next year, and she will become a mother sooner rather than later. ”
The dry smile on Xie Yao's cheeks was gone, and he said bluntly: "Your friend has a whereabouts." ”
"Where are they?" Diao Xiaosi asked eagerly.
"Long Chuyi and Long Chuer are in the Hopeless Mountain, and a group of newly met partners are laughing at the mountains and forests to dominate the side. ”
Xie Yao's answer made Diao Xiaosi unable to laugh all of a sudden-smiling at the mountains and forests to dominate one side, isn't this just a change of words for Kou? It turns out that there is also such a high-risk and high-return profession in the Void Wilderness. And it sounds like these two people are getting along well, and they are only stronger than the little fourth master, which is very enviable.
"That'...... What about Elleder?" Diao Xiaosi asked Xie Yao.
Xie Yao glanced at him and said, "She lives in the Crescent Moon House next door. ”
"What?" Diao Xiaosi lost his voice and said, "Why didn't this girl come to Lao Tzu?"
Xie Yao said with a smile: "With her is Luo Shuihan, the first descendant of Penglai Immortal Palace, and the two of them have been locked in a guest room for three days. ”
Diao Xiaosi was stunned, and said to himself with a strange face: "Niang Xipi, she found her next home so quickly?"
Xie Yao smiled meaningfully and said, "Sure enough, the old man is going to congratulate Fairy Ya." Luo Shuihan is known as the heir of Penglai Immortal Palace, handsome and talented, if I were a woman, I would also be infatuated with him. ”
Diao Xiaosi snorted disapprovingly: "Can he be more feminine than Lao Tzu?"
Xie Yao was stunned for a while, and then replied, "In my opinion...... Half a catty, that's eight taels. However, this person's cultivation is afraid that Diao Gongzi is beyond his reach, it is said that not long ago, he only used two photos to seriously injure the young master of the Ghost Sea, Hai Wuxie, and this matter has already caused a sensation in the Yan Domain. ”
Diao Xiaosi had no idea what the sea was, and muttered intently: "Luo Shui Han...... As if I've seen it somewhere, the three big ones are hideous. Old Solution, how can you compare him with me, it's too visionary. ”
Xie Yao stopped talking, and held back for a long time before he said quietly: "Compare him with you, count me blind." ”
