"Master, let me tell you that we are honest people. It's the guy who doesn't deal with him as soon as he comes up. He sees people as inferior, so I'm not easy to bully. People respect me one point, and I respect others three points. He is like this I'm sure I'm going to go back." Xun You said with a grunt.

Xun Nagan watched her take a sip of tea, with no expression of joy or anger, and asked, "What did he say?"

"He said that our Dingxuan Temple is a shabby household. Anyway, he looks down on us inside and out, and thinks that their Chicheng Temple is the best in the world." When Xun Youling said this, he couldn't get angry.

As soon as she said this, Xun Ge and the others on the other side also had a bad face, and they chimed in to Xun Nagan.

"Master, what Xiaochun said is right. Our Dingxuan Temple is incomparable with the time when the incense was at its peak, but it is not enough for such a person to scold in the face."

"I have long thought that Chicheng Temple was not pleasing to the eye. The people in it are not very good, and their eyes are on the top of their heads. They look like leaders in the Taoist world."

"Their Chicheng Temple has developed rapidly in the past few years. There are a lot of people wherever they go, but they are all a group of people. How many people know Taoism? They spend money to get an identity card and advertise that they are immortals. of."

The three of them chattered at each other, and Xun Youling felt relieved when he heard that, as expected, his family understood the truth.

Xun Nagan waved his hand to signal them to shut up, and continued to ask, "Then what did you do?"

Xun Youling was about to speak, but Ji Xinxi was afraid that her personal emotions would be too strong and that Xun Nagan would blame him, so he took the lead and said: "He has provoked him several times, but I can't understand it, so I provoked him a few words and tricked him." If so, make a bet with him, each according to his ability, and he promises to pay if he loses."

"Yes, that kid, he did stupid things later on, if we hadn't saved him, he would have no life to gossip around now, and he even said that he would send us a pennant, admitting that Chicheng's skills are not as good as others, but I didn't ask him for it. "Xun Youling added, there was some pity in his words.

Xun Nagan slapped the table, his voice was not loud, but everyone closed their mouths and looked at him. His small eyes narrowed, and he said slowly after a long while: "A Chicheng temple dares to be so arrogant, why don't you want to use the pennant?" , Of course I have to ask for it, another day I will personally take you to the door to ask for it, and see if they will give it."

Hearing what he said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Xun Nagan's words changed again, and he suddenly said: "But Xiaochun and the others have made a fuss, and our Dingxuanguan has now been pushed to the forefront. Youyuan went around spreading the news that you were accompanied by two Yin spirits, which has already attracted the attention of all parties."

The three of Xun Ge were silent when they heard the words, and Xun Youling was a little puzzled, and asked, "Who's noticed? Why do you look so serious?"

Xun Nagan touched the handle of the fan and said, "Xiaochun, there are some things I didn't tell you before, but I thought it was unnecessary. Now you grow up too fast, and in just one year, you will surpass your senior brothers. It's time to tell you that I didn't take care of it before."

Ji Xinxi listened and glanced at Xun Youling, and said hesitantly, "Daoist Xun, do you need me to avoid it?"

Xun Youling pressed Ji Xinxi's hand immediately, and gave her a dissatisfied look. Seeing this, Xun Nagan said, "Listen, girl Ji, you and Xiaochun are on the same boat, and she owes you all this year. You won’t be able to get rid of these things in the future.”

After Xun Nagan said that, Ji Xinxi sat in his seat with peace of mind, and smiled flatteringly at Xun Youling. Xun Youling gave her a blank look, and instead of letting go of her hand, he held it tighter.

What Xun Nagan said next took the two of them a lot of effort to digest.

According to Xun Nagan's narration, their line of business is not only a branch of Taoism, but including the reselling of antiques, tomb robbery and cave exploration are divided into four forces.

Their Dingxuan Temple follows the orthodox Taoism, and they are located in the west, and this is where the Taoist temples gathered in the early years, so the people here are mainly those who have practiced Taoism.

There are many mountains, rivers and rivers in the north, and there are many mountains and mountains, which are the most likely to form a so-called geomantic treasure land, so there are countless large and small tombs there, so that tomb robbery is prevalent there.

The east side does not have as good a geographical advantage as the north side, but they do a good job in international trade, and the ancient relics stolen from the north side are basically sold from there.

And the south side, where Ji Xinxi and Xun Youling are staying now, is the most chaotic place, with a little bit of everything. The people on the other side are all good people, and the sea, land and air are developing rapidly. Yes, knowing the news one step earlier than others and intervening first, the benefits are self-evident.

Among the four forces, the situation on the west side is the most special. Whether it is tomb robbery or selling, the other three sides always have to deal with things in the underworld. At this time, it is inevitable to find Taoist priests to drive away evil spirits , so you have to sell their three-point thin noodles wherever you go.

Among them, Dingxuan Temple has a long and extensive heritage, so the Taoism in the west is headed by Dingxuan Temple, and the other three sides naturally have their own leaders. The leaders of the four forces hold a four-party meeting every year. For the current market To make a summary of the exchange, it is said that the exchange is actually a re-drawing of the boundaries every year.

Hearing this, Xun Youling couldn't help interjecting: "Why does it sound like I've heard a book? I always thought that our Dingxuan Temple was a small temple that no one cares about. So why is it so powerful?"

"Master is still talking, Xiaochun, please stop interrupting." Xun Ge scolded in a low voice, Xun Youling covered her mouth and nodded obediently, signaling her to stop talking.

Xun Nagan glanced at Xun Youling, sighed helplessly and said, "Actually, what you girl said is right, the time for Dingxuan to see the scenery has long passed."

As Xun Nagan continued to tell, the current situation was gradually dissected out. In the past, the west side was indeed overwhelmed by the other three sides. However, with the development of the times, many Taoist temples moved to other places for various reasons. Local and Quartet's ability divisions have gradually blurred.

Dingxuan Temple is also gradually declining, and the name of the leader of the West has long since existed in name only. As for why no one has replaced it now, there is another reason.

"Xiaochun, do you know why?" Xun Nagan asked suddenly.

Xun Youling, who was listening with gusto, was a little dazed when he was suddenly called on to answer the question, but Ji Xinxi, who had been following Xun Nagan's train of thought, tentatively replied, "It's because I have something to depend on, so others dare not provoke it easily? "

"Young girl Ji is smart, tsk." Xun Nagan glanced at Ji Xinxi appreciatively, and then tsk his mouth at Xun Youling in disgust.

"That's because everyone knows that Dingxuan Temple still hides something incredible. Although there are few people, the inheritance has not been lost. If we are in a hurry, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no problems, so we have to hang on to it all these years." This false name maintains the harmony on the surface."

"As for what is hidden in Dingxuan Temple, believe me, you should have guessed it without telling me, right?"

Xun Youling rolled his eyes, then took a sip of the water in front of him in embarrassment, and said with little confidence: "Could it be the two tombs we broke down before?"

Xun Nagan beat his fan in the palm of his hand, turned up his voice and said, "Hey Xiaochun, it's just a coincidence that these two tombs are here."

Ji Xinxi sat up straight in embarrassment, and Xun Youling silently put down the water glass in a cute gesture.

"Actually, the rumors from the outside world are true or false. We haven't admitted it directly. It's safer to let them guess, but it's okay to be wrong. If they really push us, we will withdraw Release everything in the tomb, without our Dingxuanguan, how many people in this world can hold them, let's all die together."

"But now the tomb is broken. Although the outsiders don't know that this tomb is our Dingxuanguan's trump card, they still feel that something is wrong. There are wave after wave of people who inquire. The smell came out, but that group of people were too clean to catch their tails."

"In addition to this incident, everyone in the industry now knows that the little apprentice of Dingxuan Temple who has never shown up has two imperial spirits as soon as he appears. I didn't do anything harmful, but the temptation is too great, and it's inevitable that someone will be moved."

These words caused Ji Xinxi and the two to think deeply, could it be that they really caused a lot of trouble for Ding Xuanguan?

Seeing the serious faces of the two, Xun Nagan said again: "But I don't think this is a bad thing. We have been underestimated at Dingxuanguan for too long, so it's time to remind them that we are not so easy to mess with, and now Both tombs are broken, so it's time to collect all the large and small Dao artifacts left on the mountain that were used as array eyes."

As soon as these words came out, all the people at the table except Ji Xinxi straightened their backs in a jerk, with calculating expressions on their faces, and calculations in their eyes.

Xun Nagan slapped the table and got up, and said: "The big array is broken, but it doesn't mean that all of these arrays are broken. Many of them are still in operation. No one is allowed to act privately without my permission. Wait until the fourth and fifth come back." , let’s act together again, we’ll probably be gone today.”

The rest of the people just talked about this topic after Xun Nagan left. The brothers and sisters were thinking about how many treasures could be dug up on the mountain. Thoughts.

She followed Xun Nagan's words, so the Seventh Master might have been sent by other forces to find out the truth. It was not a coincidence that Geng Sheng died in Feng Moxuan's tomb, so how much did others know?She has been with Xun Youling all this time, has she also been investigated?

Just when Ji Xinxi was thinking wildly, Xun Youling got up and walked in the direction Xun Nagan left.

. . . . . .

The next morning, Xun Youling, who had had breakfast, took Ji Xinxi to sit at the canteen at the entrance of the village, saying that he was taking her around and waiting for her two senior brothers to come back.

Grandma Zhong from the canteen was the one who brought up Xun Youling. She was nearly seventy years old but she was very energetic. When she heard that Ji Xin was Xun Youling's friend in the past, she warmly greeted the two of them for lunch.

After dinner, it's almost New Year's Eve, and Grandma Zhong's children are back. Grandma Zhong is busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, so she handed over the shop to Xun Youling and the two of them, and went home by herself to prepare.

Ji Xinxi felt very fresh sitting in the canteen. Xun Youling introduced to her the snacks she loved when she was a child and stuffed her a bag full. She sat at the entrance of the canteen with a lollipop in her mouth basking in the sun. I feel that this day is really comfortable.

Xun Youling greeted the customers who came to buy things at the counter, while Ji Xinxi sat still and didn't want to move. When she saw a person coming from the entrance of the village, she looked around and found that it was Zhang Chenghu, an old acquaintance.
