Fortunately, it didn't take long for Xiao Ming's good old man mask to fall off before he put it back on again, and his attitude towards Su Yucheng returned to gentleness.

In the final analysis, Xiao Ming was not actually angry at Su Yuzheng's behavior of betraying his teammates, but just dumped on Xuanyue the frustration that could not be vented from Xuanyue.No matter how close and friendly Xiao Ming and Su Yucheng are on the surface, the friendship between the two of them has only been known for more than half a year, and the number of times they even meet is pitifully seldom - let alone when he is still "Xiao Ming" At that time, the connection with Su Yucheng was nothing more than "Xuan Yue".

To Xiao Ming, Su Yuzheng was just a passer-by, no matter what the other party did would not cause him any emotional fluctuations, but it was a pity that it was about Xuanyue, which made Xiao Ming lose his composure again and again.

However, Xiao Ming's endurance is very good, and his control over his emotions is too strong, so he quickly restrained the leaked emotions, and smiled slightly at Su Yucheng's every possible care to please him, which can be regarded as turning over the page.

Seeing that Xiao Ming was finally "normal", Su Yucheng finally heaved a long sigh of relief, thankful that he managed to get away with it.

The place where the secret realm is located is called Xishan. It is said that this place was originally a deserted place with few people. Prosperous appearance.

Xiao Ming and Su Yuzheng's foothold naturally also chose this Xishan Town. Firstly, they can recharge their spirits to fight again tomorrow, and secondly, it is also convenient to collect some information about the secret realm, so as to be prepared.

The appearance of Xishan Town is not much different from ordinary cultivation towns, but when they actually set foot in it, Xiao Ming and Su Yucheng discovered the difference. Compared with the entire comprehension world, the painting style is completely wrong!

At least in other towns, it is impossible for them to see a group of cultivators sitting together to seriously discuss "why is the pigeon so big", and it is impossible to see a group of people for "how big is the captain who raised 75 cows and 32 pigs?" age" and disputed endlessly.They even saw someone swearingly selling a magic weapon called "refrigerator", and mortal animals such as pigeons and elephants were carefully watched by the cultivators as treasures, as if they were trying to get rid of it. It's as if they see something secret in them.

Along the way, Xiao Ming and Su Yucheng's expressions were extremely tangled, and the strings of ellipsis almost drowned their thoughts.After a long time, Su Yuzheng turned his head to look at Xiao Ming, and blinked with admiration: "This is really... an extraordinary place."

Xiao Ming reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, speechless.

Different from Su Yuzheng's ease and ease—after all, he came here to join in the fun from the beginning, and never thought he would be the lucky one who passed the test—Xiao Ming felt quite frustrated, and was originally satisfied with the jade and convenience left by his predecessors. Full of self-confidence at this moment, like a balloon being pricked by a needle, burst in an instant, leaving only a layer of wrinkled leather.

Xiao Ming originally thought that he still had a slight chance of winning, but when he really came into contact with these weird questions, he suddenly found that it was simply impossible to solve the questions only by relying on the jade slips left by his seniors.

The predecessor’s jade slips indeed mentioned a lot of things about his past world, but there are many puzzles without any clues at all—if you want to ask “why the pigeon is so big” or “the captain’s age”, at least you should Give me a synopsis? !Throwing a question so straightforwardly, who would know what the hell the answer is? !

Xiao Ming overturned countless tables in his heart, and a bit of disappointment naturally appeared on his face.Su Yucheng could see what his fellow traveler was thinking, and couldn't help but raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Just keep a normal mind, we came here just to see something, I'm lucky, Lose my life, everything depends on fate."

Xiao Ming nodded lightly, pulling himself together a little bit. While talking, the two of them came to the largest inn in the town and looked at the incomplete couplet at the entrance of the inn.

"The earth vibrates in Gaogang, and the streams and mountains are beautiful through the ages..." Su Yucheng read softly, "Is this Shanglian also a topic in the secret realm?"

"That's right." However, the manager of the inn in the foundation building period smiled slightly, neither arrogant nor humble, "And this couplet is also the origin of the place name 'Xishan'. Originally, this mountain had no name, but because of this couplet, so it has the title of 'Xishan'."

Su Yucheng smiled with the manager of the inn very friendly, and then asked for two upper rooms, and at the same time looked at Xiao Ming with interest: "I don't know much about couplets, can fellow Daoist Zhao get something?"

Xiao Ming frowned slightly, and shook his head ponderingly, but his heart almost jumped out of his throat in private.

There is no other reason, because of this couplet, he has indeed seen it in the jade slips of his predecessors!At that time, the senior was once made things difficult in the cave left by a great power. The senior couldn't answer the couplets of the great power, but instead asked questions with several couplets. This "Earth Vibration Gao Gang" is one of them.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Xiao Ming to show this. That is something only a fool would do. He just maintained a contemplative expression and followed Su Yucheng to the reserved room. The cultivators are discussing what kind of demons the "psychological shadow" is.

...Well, "area of ​​psychological shadow" or something, this term is very familiar to him...

The rooms of Xiao Ming and Su Yucheng were next to each other, Su Yucheng took the lead in pushing away his room, and invited Xiao Ming to enter.Xiao Ming didn't think too much, and followed in directly, but he didn't expect Su Yucheng to smile and wink at him just after closing the door: "Zhao Daoyou, you already have the answer to the second couplet of that couplet." , can I guess correctly?"

Xiao Ming was slightly taken aback, then looked at Su Yucheng in surprise: "Why did Fellow Daoist Su say that?"

"Intuition." Su Yuzheng spread his hands casually, "My intuition has always been accurate."

Xiao Ming smiled on the surface, but his heart turned a thousand times, and instantly determined the way to deal with it. He nodded slightly: "You Daoist Su is right."

——He and Su Yucheng are going to act together next time, and Su Yucheng's tone is firm. If he blindly vetoes it, it will make the other party feel distrustful or disgusted, which is extremely unfavorable.Besides, Su Yucheng has always been frank and honest, and has a very good reputation, so Xiao Ming doesn't need to be too guarded against him.

Hearing Xiao Ming's answer, Su Yuzheng's eyes lit up, and then he smiled meaningfully: "Sure enough, I always thought that this secret realm was destined to be related to Fellow Daoist Zhao, and it's true."

Having said that, Su Yucheng didn't ask further about the answer or how Xiao Ming got it, but changed the subject: "It's just that Daoist Zhao was in a low mood earlier, probably because he wasn't sure about other puzzles?"

"That's true." Xiao Ming smiled wryly, "I disappointed Fellow Daoist Su."

"Disappointed? No, no, no." Su Yucheng waved his hands happily, his eyes were clear, "I don't have anything to do with this place, I just join in the fun, I'm afraid that Fellow Daoist Zhao will be too careless."

Being watched by Su Yucheng like this, Xiao Ming's originally disturbed mood because of the puzzle suddenly calmed down. He looked at Su Yucheng and smiled sincerely: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Su, for your suggestion."

Seeing this, Su Yucheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "That's good."

Next, the two didn't mention the mystery of the secret realm anymore, but chatted about other things.

Su Yucheng's footprints are all over the north and south of the river, he has seen a lot, and his eloquence is excellent. He can't stop talking, and Xiao Ming is also a person who is very good at words. He has a quick mind and strange experiences. It hit it off.

The two chatted very speculatively, and before they knew it, the sky was getting dark.Su Yucheng stopped talking regretfully: "It's getting late, Zhao Daoyou has a good rest, and we will leave for the secret realm early tomorrow morning."

Xiao Ming got up quickly, said good night to Su Yucheng, and went back to his room.It's just that when he thinks about tomorrow, he can't settle down to fall asleep, so he just sits in meditation on the bed until he is awakened by an angry roar.

It was just dawn outside the window, Xiao Ming frowned slightly, quite displeased.

After all, cultivators are people with sharp eyes and ears. Whether it is for others or themselves, they will try to move as lightly as possible, or set up a soundproof circle, so as not to hinder others and cause trouble.But the owner of the roar just now obviously broke the well-known rules of this layer, and soon many cultivators who were awakened got up angrily and confronted the owner of the voice.

It had nothing to do with him, Xiao Ming wanted to hang on high, but his companion Su Yucheng was a fun-loving person, and soon knocked on his door, dragging him to watch what happened.

Xiao Ming was a little helpless, but there was nothing wrong with it, but he couldn't avoid it, so he let Su Yucheng drag him down to the second floor of the inn without interest.

There are already many cultivators on the second floor of the inn, everyone's face is ugly, and the atmosphere is quite tense.

"What happened?" Su Yuzheng's complexion changed, and he looked a little worried, and asked.

The cultivator who was questioned glanced at Su Yucheng's cultivation at the peak of Jindan, and quickly saluted respectfully, and lowered his voice: "Last night, someone in this inn died of being harvested."

"Picking up to death?!" Su Yucheng's surprise this time was sincere, and he frowned slightly, "Did you find out the identity of the murderer?"

"That's not true..." The cultivator shook his head, but his expression was slightly disapproving, "But eight out of ten. Nine out of ten, it was the one from the Huan faction—"

Before the words were finished, everyone heard a jingle of rings, and several beautiful women also descended from the stairs to the second floor, with serious expressions and extremely low air pressure around them.

Seeing these women, a middle-aged cultivator's eyes burst into tears, and he roared angrily: "Hey, the witch of the Huan faction! Give back my disciple's life!"

The face of the leading woman sank solemnly, and in an instant, the coercion of the high-ranking Jindan pervaded: "The facts have not been verified, so don't spit blood!"

The cultivation base of the middle-aged cultivator was slightly inferior, but at this moment, he was still staring at the woman named leader with red eyes, as if he would not give up until he reached his goal, while Su Yuzheng frowned, quite a bit. Worried, but the target of this worry is not the person who was killed, but these few people.happy party woman.

Xiao Ming stood outside the crowd, his eyes were cold and out of the way, he glanced at Su Yucheng, then looked at the youngest woman among the women, raised his eyebrows slightly.

That young girl seemed to be inexperienced, and her heart was simple and escaped, but now she had an expression of resentment, and wanted to refute, but was suppressed by the other women and had to keep silent.From time to time, her eyes drifted to Su Yuzheng who was in the crowd, with a look of anger and anger that was embarrassing in front of her sweetheart, and even a blush of shame and dryness flew on her cheeks, expressing affection.

It is rumored that Su Yucheng's confidante is all over the world, but now it seems that it is true. Didn't he meet one just a few days ago?Thinking of Su Yucheng's "matchmaker" actions before, Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, which seemed a little meaningful.

——Perhaps, he should also pay back a little by "returning the other body in the same way"?
