Jinyuan City is not too far from Xianshi Mountain, only three days away.The city is adjacent to Dongting, with well-developed water and water transportation. It is an important transportation hub between the north and the south, and is very prosperous.The Tao family, where Master Tao Ye came from, is one of the big families with deep roots in Jinyuan City.

"Junior Brother, you really hid my "Four Loves"?" Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng led two horses side by side, and entered the gate of Jinyuan City.The bustling scene in the city did not attract Xu Qing's attention at all. Ever since he got off the mountain, he had been thinking about the sweethearts he specially gave to Wen Jifeng to hide before they left the house.

Wen Jifeng still had the same indifferent look on his face, but he replied with helplessness: "Brother, this is not the first time I have helped you hide this book."

Xu Qing laughed twice.

He has always had a habit of reading idle books.Although Taoism pays attention to conforming to nature and following one's heart, not all books are beneficial, and Chong Yangzi will not just let him play with things and lose his ambition.From childhood to adulthood, there are not many books that Xu Qing was thrown into the alchemy furnace to make ashes.

Therefore, during the monthly school inspections in Guannei, Wen Jifeng, who lived in the same room as Xu Qing, had the door knocked open from time to time.

Every time Xu Qing has a fiery expression: "Brother, master is coming to make rounds soon, brother, this "Four Emotions" is hidden with you!" Then he stuffed the book into his arms, regardless of Wen Jifeng Agreeing, she closed the door for him intimately, and went back to her room to put on a show.

Wen Jifeng also wondered why Xuqing wasn't worried that he would report him. After all, Wen Jifeng also had a modest position in the Law Enforcement Hall, helping a few uncles to supervise the precepts.As for Xu Qing, she often just puts her arms around his shoulders, making a mysterious smile without saying a word.

The Tao family can be regarded as a very prestigious family in Jinyuan City, the two found the Tao family mansion, and while waiting for a short period of time to deliver the greeting card, Xu Qing was very moved by the majestic stone lion in front of the Tao mansion.It's not the first time for the two of them to go down the mountain, but in the past, they just followed the master to find a few old friends of Qingxiu, or followed a few uncles to a few sects they had made friends with to discuss the Tao, and set foot in the rich smoke of the world of mortals, or first time.

I don't know if he was thinking about the incense and friendship he once practiced in Xuanchong Temple, which was cultivated by the head of the Tao family, so he came out to greet the two of them in person.Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng met the ceremony in a regular manner, and followed Tao Ye into the main room.

Xu Qing knew in her heart that this uncle Tao Ye was already at the age of knowing his destiny, but Tao Ye's beard in front of him was jet-black, his face was like a crown of jade, if it wasn't for the beard on his face, no one would believe that he was at a weak age.

"Senior Nephew Xuqing has been staring at me since I entered the door. Could it be that there is something on my face?" Tao Ye said with a smile. These two nephews are heroic and should be the leading figures among the disciples of this generation.However, I am not deeply involved in the world, and some things are still not done properly.

Sure enough, even the voice is so young.After muttering in his heart, Xu Qinghan said with a smile: "Nephew is a tired and lazy person, he is often reprimanded by master in the meditation. But now seeing uncle, although he is busy with mundane affairs, he has not fallen behind in cultivation, I feel a little ashamed."

Xu Qing said it euphemistically, and Tao Ye understood what he meant: "My nephew doesn't know something. I have a close friend who is quite accomplished in alchemy. I am ashamed to say that the family is busy with affairs, and the matter of cultivation has been abandoned. No. According to my current description, nephew, it’s just the power of pills.” Thinking about the past few years, Xu Qing is not the only one who has been surprised by his appearance in person.

Xu Qing was curious: "It is said that the way of alchemy is mysterious, but all famous alchemists are amazingly talented. I never thought that in Jinyuan City, there would be such a powerful alchemist hidden in the market."

Tao Ye laughed loudly, entered the main hall and sat down.

After Xuqing and Wen Jifeng were seated, Wen Jifeng said: "Such a senior, if you have a chance, you should visit him." Although Wen Jifeng was reticent, his brows were clear and upright, which made Tao Ye very fond of him.

"Before the birthday banquet, this friend of mine will also come to Tao's residence for a short stay. Nephew Wen doesn't need to bother to visit anymore." Tao Ye said with a smile.

Hearing Tao Ye's recommendation, Wen Jifeng nodded in gratitude.

The servant served tea and snacks, Xu Qing picked up the teacup, and just as he blew off the floating tea on it, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Father, it's not good, another one came out!" Before seeing him and hearing his voice, Xu Qing looked at the door curiously.

The person who came was a young man in a moon-white robe, apparently only 23 or [-] years old, holding the robe in one hand and a letter in the other, with a very anxious expression on his face.Seeing Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng sitting in the hall, the young man froze for a moment, straightened his clothes, bowed his hands to the two, and walked to Tao Ye's side.

"Father, who are these two?" the young man asked in a low voice.

Tao Ye said: "These are the two nephews sent by Xuanchong Temple to watch the ceremony, and this is the dog Tao Ran."

Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng were just about to stand up and salute, but they saw Tao Ran frowned. Although he lowered his voice to talk to Tao Ye, he could hear a trace of anger: "Is it too childish for Xuan Chongguan to be so big? Just send two little Taoist priests here?"

Xu Qing laughed lightly: "Young Master Tao is joking, Junior Brother Wen and I are both disciples of Master Chongyang, the sect head. Shocking sincerity."

"What nonsense!" Tao Ye reprimanded Tao Ran in a low voice, and then said to Xuqing and Xu Qing with an apologetic face, "The dog has no shape, the two nephews must not take it to heart."

Tao Ran seemed to have come back to his senses, and turned to the two of them: "Tao's inappropriate words offended you two, please forgive me."

The father and son apologized one after another, Xu Qing had to sell face to Tao Ye, but the expression on his face was not as bright as when he first came.Tao Ye secretly sighed, and called the servants to take Xu Qing and the two to the guest room to rest.

"Didn't father say that he has already repaired the book for Daoist Chongyang? The boy found the Taoist priest earlier..." Before leaving, Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng could still hear Tao Ran's deliberately lowered but hasty voice from inside the hall .

Wen Jifeng followed the servant leading the way peacefully, but suddenly his shoulders sank.Xu Qing hooked his shoulders, and asked in a casual tone: "Junior Brother, do you think our Master Tao is a bit weird?"

Wen Jifeng raised his eyes, and the servant of the Tao Mansion who was walking in front showed nothing unusual: "Brother, if you will learn these tricks..." Wen Jifeng's lips suddenly felt cold, and the hand that appeared suddenly will The remaining half sentence was blocked back.

Xu Qing leaned close to his ear, speaking with a warm breath different from the palm of his hand: "Junior brother, urging me to study hard, that's the job of master and uncle. Let's come out after a long time, how about not mentioning these things?" Wen Jifeng turned his head but couldn't speak, he stared at Xu Qing for a while with black and white eyes, and nodded.Xu Qing withdrew her hand in satisfaction.

"Master Tao's complexion is very good." Wen Jifeng said this without beginning or end.

Xu Qing still hooked him with one hand, and rubbed his chin twice with the other hand, narrowing his eyes: "Yeah, it's really impressive that a person who obviously has a lifeless look in Yintang has such a good complexion." It's weird."

Although swindlers often use opening lines like "My brother, seeing that your seal is black, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe in the near future..." to trick and abduct, but these reasons are not without reason.The two of them are not proficient in numerology, but they can see the death aura in Tao Ye's body, not because of anything else, the death aura in him is too strong for them to turn a blind eye.

Wen Jifeng had some guesses in his heart: "Alchemist?"

Xu Qing said: "Brother, we really have a good understanding, we all guessed that we went to the same place." Wen Jifeng ignored him, "When this alchemist arrives, we should really observe carefully."

"Aren't you going to send the letter to Master?"

Xu Qing laughed in a low voice: "Junior Brother, sometimes you are so naive and interesting. Do you think Master doesn't know about this?" As he spoke, Xu Qing tugged Wen Jifeng's earlobe.Unlike the cold piece like the real one, the small piece on Wen Jifeng's ear is soft and warm.

Although they only heard half of what they heard when they left the main room, it was enough to see many things. For example, there was a difficult matter in the Tao family that ordinary people could not decipher; For example, this incident is probably related to Tao Ye's abnormal condition, but Tao Ye probably doesn't know about it.

Wen Jifeng finally patted Xu Qing's paw off his shoulder: "Why did Master do this?"

Xu Qing thought for a while: "Perhaps because you think the matter is not serious, so you want to use it to test us?"

Xu Qing looked at Wen Jifeng who went back quietly again, thinking that maybe his words annoyed his junior brother again, making him feel that he was being perfunctory: "Or, with just a letter, the master himself can't understand what is going on. What's going on."

Wen Jifeng raised his eyes to look at him, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the seeming solemnity in his tone just now completely disappeared: "In short, these things have nothing to do with us. If Master didn't tell us, we have the right to pretend that we don't know about it." Love, after this banquet, you can go back to the business."

Wen Jifeng frowned, and Xu Qing stretched out his hand to pull his ear teasingly, but Wen Jifeng's skills were always better than his, so how could he succeed again.

The room for the two of them has arrived, one for each.The servant opened the door for them and retreated, Xu Qing looked inside, and saw that all the utensils were in place.As soon as he turned his head, Wen Jifeng was about to close the door, Xu Qing hurriedly called him to stop.

"Brother, brother is not good at learning, if you encounter any powerful monsters, you must protect me!"

What responded to his words was Wen Jifeng's heavy closing of the door.

Touched Xu Qing with a gray nose, touched his chin: "I never pinched it, why are my ears red?"
