Hei Chuan didn't answer, flashed to Zhangyuan, and shouted: "Gongzi Xie, can't you see that the old man is running away in a hurry, and he is actually leading the way for you? This time, the son came from afar, the old man did not entertain well, causing the son to be in danger, you want to kill me, I die without complaint, but before I die, please let me argue. ”

Xie Gongbao thought back slightly, and felt that there was indeed something suspicious about Heichuan's hasty escape.

Suspicion one, the meridian rat woke up, and there was no need for him to run away at all.

Suspicion two, just jumped out of the exit, and he closed the iron cover in time.

These two doubts, thinking about it carefully, do mean to help each other.

With such doubts in his heart, Xie Gongbao called out to Shang Jun and said to Hei Chuan: "Okay, I'll let you argue." ”

Kurokawa took his hand and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the back room." ”

Xie Gongbao looked around, this is the residence of Kurokawa, this place is a courtyard, but the exit that jumped out at the right time is a wellhead. - Kurokawa's lead is the small meditation room he used for meditation, and when the three of them enter the room, the room is empty, and there is a painting depicting mountains and rivers hanging on the hall, and there are several futons on the ground, and there is nothing else.

Hei Chuan sat down on the futon first, and invited Xie Gongbao and the others to take a seat.

Shang Jun snorted lightly, his face full of murderous energy, and he refused to sit down.

Xie Gongbao was afraid that she would be impulsive, so he pulled her to his side before sitting down.

Waiting for Xie Gongbao to sit down, Kurokawa sighed and told the whole story.

It turned out that the cause of the matter was Xie Gongbao, yesterday Xie Gongbao visited, and the meridian rat sensed the demonic power of the nine-faced jade fox, so he appeared to force Heichuan to keep people in order to sneak attack at night. Heichuan was forced to comply, but he also found a way to rescue Xie Gongbao, he thought at that time, the Yihe faction has always wanted to contact the outside world for eight hundred years, and if he learns that there is an immortal here, he will definitely find a way to get in touch. Therefore, he first spread the news, saying that Zhongzhou had come to a Shangxian, and then secretly sent someone to the village of the Yihe faction to spread the news that the meridian rat intended to harm Xie Gongbao, and only hoped that Lan Gong'e would send someone to pick up Xie Gongbao and help him escape for his life.

Xie Gongbao listened to it and didn't make a detailed distinction, but he believed Kurokawa's words.

If nothing else, it is not false to say that the meridian rat wants to eat him. Because he remembered that when he fell into the boundary mountain, the intoxicated ape also pushed him down the mountain because of the nine-faced jade fox, intending to kill him, but he had to be stopped by Bai Jiwen to save his life.

Hei Chuan saw that Xie Gongbao was speechless, afraid that he would not believe it, and continued: "Master Xie, what the old man said is true, just imagine, this meridian rat is a five-element spirit animal, which has been in the mortal world since the beginning of the flood and famine, not a demon or an immortal, and a self-proclaimed supreme in the world. However, this nine-faced jade fox is connected with the nine shadows, and there is a conflict between the two, and it senses that there is a nine-faced jade fox attached to your body, and it naturally wants to eat you. ”

Shang Jun didn't believe it, and didn't wait for Xie Gongbao to answer, and rushed to say: "Hmph, it's nonsense! You said that you secretly sent someone to spread the news, obviously ...... It's obviously ...... In short, the source of this news has nothing to do with you, it is an undercover letter that my grandmother planted next to you. ”

Heichuan stroked his beard and chuckled, and said: "You're talking about Liu Abing, hehehehe, this Liu Abing is not bad, but he is a little lustful, he often goes to the village to steal Xiaoxiang's sister-in-law, once your grandmother caught rape in bed, your grandmother was originally going to kill him, and then she simply planned to ask him to be an undercover agent." ”

Shang Jun opened his mouth wide and blurted out, "How do you know about this!"

Kurokawa smiled: "Your grandmother planted an undercover agent next to me, how can the old man not notice, in the end, you are all the descendants of the old man, as long as you don't anger the meridian rat, some things will be up to you." You don't need to question it, it was Liu Abing who was sent by the old man to deliver the message. ”

Shang Jun squeezed his brows to the bridge of his nose, and his gaze fell on Hei Chuan:

"My grandmother said you were a traitor, and I don't believe your words. ”

At this time, Xie Gongbao continued to say: "Yes, why did Mr. Kurokawa become a traitor to the Yiga faction, and he was willing to give an animal a life, and you tortured the descendants of your fellow disciples for the tiger for eight hundred years, don't you have a trace of remorse?"

Hearing Xie Gongbao's question, Hei Chuan's face suddenly became gloomy.

His eyes were painful, and he remembered for a moment, and he grew old in an instant.

He shook his head and said sadly: "Who would be willing to give an animal a life, the old man was also forced." You may not know that these five elements spirit beasts have their own preferences, the intoxicated ape is good at dancing and greedy for cups, the purple-scaled dragon king is sleepy and lazy, the thousand-year-old swallow likes to live in the grave, the drum is greedy for beauty, and this meridian rat likes to cultivate the Tao and wins the throne in the immortals. A thousand years ago, the demon fox was in trouble, this meridian rat came to my Yihe faction to avoid trouble, the first two hundred years were still peaceful, until eight hundred years ago it suddenly changed its temperament, forcing me to send people to help build the Tower of Babel, and the conflict arose. ”

Xie Gongbao asked, "What about later?"

Kurokawa smiled bitterly: "After fighting a few times later, my Yihe faction is really difficult to defeat it." Although this meridian rat has high mana, it can't actually change its timid temperament, it is afraid of Zhongzhou Shangxian, so it only bullies me Yihepai. One night, the meridian rat kidnapped me and forcibly instilled a ray of spiritual light into my body, saying that it was sharing Shouyuan with me, but in fact it was to manipulate me, and it used the life of the same sect to force me to serve for the past 800 years. Hey, he wanted to eat people to enhance his spiritual power, so he asked me to go to Zhongzhou to arrest people, at first I refused, so it killed the head, and then I had to follow. ”

Shang Jun said: "According to your meaning, you have always had the intention to save us?"

Kurokawa said: "Of course, it's a pity that I haven't been able to do it." ”

Shang Jun doesn't care how senior Heichuan is, he is angry when he should be angry, and he is angry when he is annoyed: "You are lying!" You haven't driven to Zhongzhou every half a year, if you have the heart to kill the demon rats, why don't you go to Xuanxian Liu and Longshu Temple to ask for help?"

Hei Chuan was questioned and blamed, he was not annoyed or angry, and his face was even more bitter: "How do you know, the demon fox is in troubled times, the immortal family is almost extinct, there is no famous teacher to teach, and it took a full three hundred years for Zhongzhou to cultivate qi to ease up, how can they have time to pay attention to us." Finally waited for them to recover, but they never expected that Xuan Xianliu, Ambergris Temple, and the Banner Corpse Sect attacked each other because of what "The Last Law Sutra", during which they were unscrupulous, and the killing was too much, and I don't know how many innocent lives were tragically affected, and the old man knew that people were unpredictable, and he didn't dare to release the news of the meridian rats, so as not to invite disasters. ”

Xie Gongbao nodded: "Mr. Heichuan is right, how can these immortal families care about human life, the younger generation has seen them compete for the Purple Scale Dragon King, I was almost killed that time, if you recruit them all, it will be turned upside down at that time, and you are afraid that the Yihe faction will suffer." ”

Heichuan said: "Yes, the old man is afraid of this, so he didn't dare to ask for help, these hundreds of years, the old man and people have made friends, explored their temperament, and chose the best, but they always couldn't fully believe in people, until they met Zichen Fairy Fang Xiweak, she is good at singing and dancing, helping orphans, treating people kindly, is a female Bodhisattva, the old man pinned his hopes on her, looking forward to interacting with her more, but later she married Bai Jiwen and attracted disaster. ”

Xie Gongbao heard him mention Shi Niang, so he remembered something and hurriedly asked:

"You gave me the jade plate, could it be that you are planning to subdue the meridian rats?"

Hei Chuan's mouth pursed slightly, and he reluctantly squeezed a smile: "That's right, the son ascended to the top of the immortal in the year of the weak crown, and everyone in Zhongzhou who knew the son's praise was praised, and the old man saw that the son had a heroic temperament, and he was also happy, so he couldn't help but give you a jade plate." However, Childe's strength alone is definitely no match for the Meridian Rat, so I want to wait for Childe to be older, and then gather one or two helpers to kill the demon rat!"

At this point, the whole thing is clear.

Xie Gongbao said to Shang Jun: "What Mr. Kurokawa said should be true. ”

Shang Jun didn't answer, he turned his head to look at the window leaves, obviously refusing to accept Hei Chuan.

Kurokawa got up and walked to the door, looked at the well of the courtyard through the doors and windows, and said: "The meridian rat must sleep soundly for an hour at noon every day, even if the sky collapses at this time, it is too lazy to get up, now calculate, it has been sleeping for about half an hour, Childe, take Shang Jun and leave from the Tower of Babel quickly, and invite all the helpers to come again after going out, if there is no helper, don't come." ”

Xie Gongbao also got up slowly: "Don't leave first, I want to stay and subdue this rat." ”

Hei Chuan was stunned and said: "Childe, the Five Elements Spirit Beast is not trivial, and it must not be reckless. ”

Xie Gongbao said: "Sir, rest assured, I have already dealt with it, its Taoism may not be higher than me, I want to try, I came to save people from the earth, since the earth comes from the meridian rat, then subdue this rat for my use, so as to solve the dilemma of you and others, but also to solve the urgent need in my heart." ”

Kurokawa was skeptical: "Are you sure you can do it?"

"I'm sure, even if I can't subdue, I won't be able to suffer. Xie Gongbao was not in a hurry, he was full of confidence, he opened the door, made a gesture of invitation, and said to Shang Jun: "Miss Shang, you go back first, so as not to hurt you by mistake in a while." ”

Shang Jun hesitated, wanting to stay but couldn't find an excuse to stay.

She had something to say, but she couldn't say it, so she simply hooked her head and left.

As soon as Shang Jun left, Xie Gongbao also went out of the house and walked to the well, he didn't lift the manhole cover and jump down, because he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past and be trapped underground again, not to mention that the meridian rat can control the land and is well versed in the art of earth escape, and fighting with it underground will only be restrained everywhere. - As a result, he asked Kurokawa to go down for a while to report the news, trying to lure the meridian rat out of the ground.

Hei Chuan saw that Xie Gongbao insisted on going his own way, so he simply let it go.

Estimating that the meridian rat would wake up soon, Kurokawa lifted the manhole cover and jumped down.

After he left, Xie Gongbao took off his tattered shirt, bandaged it in the wound on his shoulder, and then jumped to the roof, staring at the well. - After about five minutes or so, Kurokawa rode out of the bottom of the well on a meridian rat. At this point, Xie Gongbao saw the whole picture of the meridian mouse, this rat is about five meters long and two meters wide, it is a behemoth, its fur is fiery red, and the two rows of fangs in its mouth are particularly scary, in addition, it also has a pair of meat wings, which looks like a bat at first glance.
