Xie Shuci heard that his tone was not very good, and shook his head very wisely.

"It's not fun, it's nothing fun. There are candied haws for sale in front, do you want to eat it? Let me buy one for you?" Xie Shuci changed the subject with a sneer.

"No need."

Xie Shuci nodded, "There are still..."

"You'd better buy it for that girl, it's reciprocal."

Xie Shuci: "..."

Xie Shuci had a bitter face, "Oh, I was really just joking, please trust me a little bit."

"You don't have to reflect on yourself?" Xie An's smile didn't reach his eyes.

Xie Shuci hurriedly said: "Use, use, of course I have to reflect on myself."

Chu Guiyi and the two had seen enough excitement, walked to Xie Shuci and the other two, smiled lightly and said: "Shu Ci, there is a teahouse in front, let's go in and have a seat, and by the way, find out which other immortals are coming besides us .”

Xie Shuci nodded and said, "Okay."

Because there are too many monks from all walks of life gathered in Machine Reading City, the security in the city is very strict. Although the Meng family is the first Pill Cultivator family, there are not only Pill Cultivator disciples in its sect, but also many advanced disciples. There are disciples of the Meng family patrolling.

After all, although Pill Cultivator has a high status, it is well known that Pill Cultivator is the monk closest to ordinary people among all monks.

When he came to the teahouse, Xie Shuci originally wanted an elegant room, but was rejected by Chu Guiyi.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention that there are monks from all walks of life gathered here. It is hard to guarantee that some people will take advantage of the chaos to do something. It has happened in the past, so Chu Guiyi suggested that they be in the lobby. It is convenient to inquire about the situation.

Chu Guiyi was always thoughtful, and the other three had no objections, so they found a place by the window in the lobby to sit down.

"Guest officers, what would you like to drink and eat?" asked the waiter.

"Two pots and pastries are all you need."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The shop waiter responded and retreated.

Xie Shuci and the blind man were sitting on one side. They were in the corner of the lobby, and they could easily see every move in the lobby.

Apparently there are quite a few people who think the same as them. They are all wearing ordinary clothes and do not want to reveal their identities for the time being. There are more than a dozen tables of people sitting in the lobby. Xie Shuci can feel that they are almost all monks, and they seem to be casually chatting with others , in fact, has been paying attention to the surrounding environment.

Chu Guiyi lowered his voice and said, "Shuci, you must remember not to take out the token given by the Meng family before revealing your identity."

Xie Shuci asked in confusion, "Why?"

Chu Guiyi explained: "For this auction, the Meng family only needs to hand out the sign. No matter who the handed-out sign ends up in, as long as they have the token, they can enter the auction venue smoothly."

Xie Shuci nodded clearly, "I understand, that is to say, the auction conference only recognizes the brand, not the person?"

"That's right. The Meng family is ranked fourth among the 100 sects. There was an auction meeting in one year, and they sent the token to Free & Unfettered Sect, who ranked third. As a result, the disciples of Free & Unfettered Sect lost the token. I came all the way to Machine Reading City, even if I took out the inner disciple token to show my identity, I couldn't enter the auction venue."

Xie Shuci was dumbfounded, "They even dare to offend Free & Unfettered Sect? Free & Unfettered Sect's family is in the Buddha Realm."

Chu Guiyi explained: "The Futu Realm and the Realm of Cultivation have long been separated, and the entanglement between the various immortal sects in the Realm of Comprehension cannot interfere with the family in the Buddha Territory, otherwise they will be expelled from the Buddha Realm by Siming Pavilion."

Hearing this, Chu Wenfeng snorted slightly, and said, "Of course the Meng family is not afraid of offending Free & Unfettered Sect. Although the Meng family ranks fourth among the hundred sects, 70% of the top-grade and top-grade pills in the cultivation world come from The Meng family, it's not that the Meng family doesn't dare to offend Free & Unfettered Sect, it's that even if Free & Unfettered Sect loses face, they can only grit their teeth and swallow it, the Meng family can't afford to offend them."

Xie Shuci nodded his head half-understood, "That is to say, the Meng family's rule of only recognizing tokens but not people, even the first-ranked family of the immortal family must abide by it?"

"That's right."

Xie Shuci raised his head, and when he looked at the other people in the lobby, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"So, the monks who came to Machine Review City didn't necessarily have received the tokens of the Meng family, but they might have come to snatch other people's tokens?"

"Yes, the Meng family never discloses to the outside world who they will hand over the badge to. Everything depends on the monk who finally participates in the auction."

Xie Shuci clutched his little pouch tightly, and said nervously: "The sooner you reveal your identity, the more dangerous it is?"

"That's right, before the auction conference started, even if most monks revealed their identities, they would not reveal whether they had received the token from the Meng family, nor would they enter the residence arranged by the Meng family."

Entering the residence arranged for them by the Meng family, isn't that equivalent to making public the fact that you have a brand on your body?

Xie Shuci was a little surprised and said, "Isn't it safe to live in the place they arranged?"

Chu Wenfeng rolled his eyes at him, "You are stupid, no matter how high the Meng family's status is, it is still a Pill Cultivator family after all, if someone is really crazy enough to attack them, even if they can resist, they will not be able to resist for long, let alone protect other monks. Some people dare not offend the Meng family, so are they still afraid of offending other people? If they live in a place arranged by the Meng family, wouldn’t that be telling others, ‘I’m a target, come and hit me’.”

It was rare for Xie Shuci not to choke with him, and nodded in agreement, "It makes sense, but luckily I didn't give them the token just now."

Chu Guiyi smiled and said: "But not everyone will deliberately hide the fact that they have the token of the Meng family in their hands."

"Ah? No way, is there really such an arrogant person?" Xie Shuci couldn't believe it. If it was him, he would definitely not enter the venue with the token until the day the auction conference started.

Chu Wenfeng pouted and said, "Xie Shuci, did you kneel for too long and can't stand up?"

"You...damn don't use my words to scold me."

Chu Wenfeng ignored him, and continued: "Not everyone is as timid as you. If those famous fairy sects are known, they hold tokens in their hands but dare not reveal their identities in advance. How shameful it would be to spread the word Ah, and some arrogant monks don't bother to hide."

"Then you..." Xie Shuci looked at the two suspiciously.

Chu Guiyi smiled lowly and said, "I don't care about these."

Chu Wenfeng said: "Elder brother and I didn't intend to hide our identities, but we have burdens with you two. I'm not afraid of anything, but you two are not. I'm really afraid that you will be robbed if you see the robbery." , I can’t wait to throw the thing out, saying how embarrassing it is.”

Xie Shuci did not get angry after hearing this, but instead sighed deeply, "Good brothers, you are really good brothers of mine, if you leave me and the blind man here, we will both have to be killed in one day even our underwear Gone."

After hearing this, Xie An pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Chu Guiyi was stunned for a moment, then gave Xie An a meaningful look, "Not entirely."

"Aww!"

The king who had been obediently lying on the ground yelled twice.

No, the baby will protect against falls!

Xie Shuci always remembered the identity of the king, rubbed his dog's head when he saw it, and said in a low voice: "You are not allowed to use spiritual power in front of outsiders, do you understand?"

"Oh..." The king always obeyed Xie Shuci.

The King's identity is special, if it is exposed here, you don't need to think about how many people will attack it.

Chu Wenfeng said in surprise: "Xie Shuci, when did you become so self-aware?"

Xie Shuci flipped a Byakugan towards him and said, "It's not like I didn't have it before, so I want to save face."

"Then you don't want to lose face now?"

Xie Shuci shook his head, "No more."

This world is different from the world he lives in. In the original world, even if he occasionally wanted to show his manly self-esteem, he didn’t need to pay any price, but in the world of self-cultivation, the price of saving face is too high. Death is real, and bloodshed is real will flow.

Chu Guiyi didn't know what to think of, his brows were frowned, his expression was a little serious, "Shu Ci."

Xie Shuci raised his eyes and saw his serious face, his brows were frowned, "What's wrong?"

"Sun Xiaohu, do you still remember?"

Xie Shuci paused for a moment and thought for a while, "Remember, the person who was destroyed by Xiao Wenzi in the Dragon Tooth Secret Realm."

Chu Guiyi nodded and said: "That's right. The disciples of the Sun family have been trapped in the secret realm of Longya before. Not long ago, Senior Banxia opened the secret realm and released them. I am worried that they will take this opportunity to visit the city and seek recovery. The method of golden core."

Xie Shuci was puzzled and said: "He will come when he comes, he is just an ordinary person anyway, don't be afraid."

Chu Guiyi said, "Sun Xiaohu once saw you in the secret realm of Longya. At that time, there was no king by your side. Other disciples of the Sun family saw the king in the secret realm. Now it followed you to the cultivation world. I am worried that they will guess Knowing the origin of the king, maybe he will do something to it."

Xie Shuci waved his hand and said: "It's okay, he is just like Xie An now, maybe Xie An is a little stronger than him, he can't do anything to the king."

Chu Guiyi frowned more and more, and said: "Shuci, if there is only the Sun family, I will not be worried. However, this is Jiyue City, and monks from all states gather here. If he tells the king's life experience to others People, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

Hearing Xie Shuci, he was stunned.

He looked down at the king at his feet. If other monks knew the identity of the king...he knew very well how capable he was, and he would never be able to protect the king.

Not to mention protecting the king, he doesn't even have the strength to backhand. Maybe this little guy is much stronger than him, and he can escape by himself. In the end, he and Xie An became its burden instead.

When he said this, Chu Guiyi was tentative, and looked at Xie An from time to time.

Now that he had guessed Xie An's identity, it was impossible for Chu Guiyi not to be afraid of him.

Although he couldn't say whether Xie An was good or bad, he definitely wouldn't let his guard down against such a dangerous person.

After hearing what he said, Xie An's expression didn't fluctuate a bit.

There was no way to see his attitude towards this matter from his face, so Chu Guiyi had no choice but to look away, and sighed in his heart, this person was really not easy to think about.

However, no matter what his purpose of staying by Shuci's side is, if he has the intention of hurting Shuci and the king, he probably won't tolerate them living to this day. What's more, his current relationship with Shuci...

Chu Guiyi didn't believe that he would really go mad and lose his cultivation. If he was there, he wouldn't have to worry about Shuci and the king's life.

"so what should I do now?"

Xie Shuci asked nervously, while bending down to hug the king into his arms, he looked around vigilantly, for fear that Sun Xiaohu would jump out from some corner, pointing at the king and saying, "It's a spirit beast, everyone, hurry up and get its insides." Dan".

The king looked at him ignorantly, "Oh?"

What are you afraid of when you stumble? The baby is very tired now, it can protect you from falling.

Xie An, who had been silent all this time, said lightly, "Just leave it on the boat."

Xie Shuci was taken aback, "That's right!"

King: "..."

It understands this sentence.

"Aw! Aww!"

don't want! The baby has to follow Daddy! Don't go back to the boat!

Xie Shuci held its paw with one hand, "It's too dangerous outside, you go back and play with the crane, and I'll bring you delicious food then."

"Aww!"

don't want! Baby don't go back!

The king, the little guy, has grown up a lot during this time, bouncing around in Xie Shuci's arms to protest vigorously, Xie Shuci can hardly hold it down.

"Aww..."

The king was splashing on Xie Shuci when he suddenly felt a coolness approaching. Immediately afterwards, it was lifted by the back of its neck by a hand, its body flew into the air, and then fell into a cold embrace.

The king immediately didn't dare to move anymore, his round eyeballs looked timidly at the top of his head.

Xie Shuci was kicked twice by it, his wrist was scratched a little by its claws, and now it is bleeding out.

"Damn! You're still kicking me with the same strength you used to? Don't you know how much weight you've gained?"

Xie Shuci took a deep breath, he has always been most afraid of pain.

The king used to love to play in his arms, jumping up and down, but at that time it was small and had no effect, but now it has grown up several times, and its claws have become very sharp.

Seeing that Tudiao was scratched by himself, the king whimpered, nervously trying to get close to Xie Shuci, "Aww..."

Are you okay?

It just got halfway, when suddenly it felt that the hand grasping the back of its neck was a bit stronger, the king's whole body froze, it raised its head in a daze, and glanced at the mother's face, the mother's lips were tightly drawn, and his eyes The light fell on Xie Shuci's scratched wrist.

The king suddenly took a tight breath, and dared not move on his mother's body.

It's over, it's over, it's over, the mother-in-law is angry.

The king leaned in his mother's arms, not daring to breathe, and worried about the wound of the fall, so he quietly looked over to the fall.

"Oh..." The baby knows it's wrong, please forgive the baby!

Xie An pinched the back of its neck with one hand, and said in an indescribable tone with a trace of inexplicable danger, "You seem very dissatisfied?"

The king knew that this sentence was addressed to himself, so he almost shook his head like a drum, "Oh..."

Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied.

Woooooo...mother is so scary!

Although the baby scratched and fell down first, but the baby didn't do it on purpose, can you stop being so fierce!

"Oh..." Dudi, are you alright?

Xie Shuci looked back and saw the little guy was worried and guilty, rubbed his head, and said, "It's too dangerous here, I can't protect you, you go back to the boat and wait for two days before I take you away." Release it."

"Oh." The king responded, and lightly put his paw on Xie Shuci's arm, with a worried expression on his face.

Are you okay?

Xie Shuci laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm a monk. I'll be fine in a while."

"Oh." The king nodded obediently.

Xie Shuci asked the waiter to take him to an empty room door, and then let the waiter leave. He urged the Shenzhou to become a small boat and put the king in it. Before leaving, the king looked at him reluctantly. Xie Shuci suddenly I felt that it was a bit like a left-behind child, so I waved and said, "Go back and play with Brother Xianhe, don't be naughty, you know?"

"Oh..." The baby knows, you have to come back quickly to pick up the baby.

Xie Shuci took Shenzhou back, opened the door and walked out.

When he returned to the lobby, a storyteller came to the lobby at some point, and he was telling some stories non-stop. Xie Shuci passed by and listened to a few sentences. It was probably a lingering love story.

I don't know why, all the monks in the hall listened very seriously, and some emotional girls even burst into tears.

Xie Shuci felt a little funny, walked back to the three of Xie An, and asked curiously: "What is he talking about, why is he listening so seriously?"

Chu Guiyi glanced at him, raised his teacup and took a sip, then said with a smile, "It's just a fabricated story."

Xie Shuci didn't take it too seriously, and said cheerfully, "What's so good about a fabricated story?"

Chu Wenfeng smiled maliciously, and said, "What's wrong with the fabricated story? Didn't you read it yourself?"

"..." Xie Shuci curled his lips, with an expression of disapproval, "Don't insult my personality."

He walked over to Xie An's side, sat down on the seat, then bumped his shoulder and said, "Don't listen to them, I'm not that kind of person."

Xie An smiled meaningfully and said, "You like to read stories about the little monk, I know."

Xie Shuci: "..."

No, you obviously don't know.

After Xie Shuci sat down and drank a cup of tea, heard that Mr. Shu recounted the plot of the story with great emotion.

But that's it, the more listen to it, the more familiar it becomes, and the more listen to it, the more strange feel.

When the storyteller reads the name of a certain Pill Cultivator, and tells about the love-hate entanglement between a certain Pill Cultivator and a certain boy, there is actually no entanglement.

"Unfortunately, Xie Shuci was looking for flowers in the brothel over there, and the Patriarch of the Xie family sent someone to find him, arrested him, and punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall. , sending food to him every day..."

Xie Shuci's face turned blue, he said why the plot is so familiar, it turned out to be the one he had read before.

The further you listened, the other people in the lobby listened intently, following the ups and downs of the plot from time to time, sighing with regret or exclaiming in joy, only that kid Chu Wenfeng sat opposite Xie Shuci and giggled, unable to stop at all. down.

Xie Shuci covered his ears with his hands, glared at him, then bumped Xie An's shoulder, and said, "Block your ears quickly, don't listen, don't dirty your pure heart."

Xie An: "..."

Chu Wenfeng was out of breath laughing, "Don't, it's so fresh, the common people have painstakingly compiled a script for you, please listen to it more."

Chu Guiyi smiled lightly and comforted him, "Shuci, you don't have to take it to heart, it's just that the people love you."

"Love me?" Xie Shuci pouted, thinking that if he loves him, let him be on top. He can't eat it in reality, but can't he eat it in the script?

When the story told of the two "enjoying each other" in the ancestral hall, there was a sound of exclamation in the lobby, accompanied by some shy laughter.

Xie Shuci tightly covered his ears and lay on the table, his body was about to shrink under the table.

There is obviously a difference between reading a script alone and listening to one's own script with a group of people.

Although the storyteller described the things in the storybook exactly, but it was almost the same. Xie Shuci made his cheeks burn like fire. During this time, he secretly glanced at Xie An. As another protagonist in the story, He was obviously much calmer than Xie Shuci.

Holding half a cup of tea in his hand, shaking it slightly, listening to the ups and downs of the storyteller's voice, he sometimes showed a mysterious smile, and seemed to be listening very seriously.

"Is it so nice?" Xie Shuci muttered.

"Learn it."

Xie Shuci: "..."

Without further ado, he got up and covered Xie An's ears with both hands, and said angrily, "What are you learning? What is there to learn? You know that his kind of behavior should not be advocated?"

Xie An pulled his hands from his ears and said with a smile, "Don't you think I'm boring? I'll learn from him."

"You fart! When did I dislike you?"

"Although you didn't say it, you thought so in your heart."

"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't thought about it that way."

"yes."

After chatting with the little blind man, he managed to divert his attention away from the storyteller.

Xie Shuci sat on pins and needles in the teahouse, and finally survived until the storyteller Xingmu took a pat and broke it down.

"This story is too outrageous." Xie Shuci sighed.

"Outrageous what? Outrageous misunderstanding of your brotherhood?" Chu Wenfeng laughed.

Xie Shuci said: "This is one of them."

"What about the second one?"

"The second is that the setting is a bit outrageous. Xie An and I, even if there is something, it should be me forcing him, right?"

Chu Wenfeng curled his lips, "It makes sense, but what Mr. Shu said was not that you deliberately seduced him, and then..."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Xie Shuci jumped up from the stool when he heard the word "seduce", trying to cover Chu Wenfeng's mouth.

Chu Wenfeng moved quickly, and pinched his forehead, "Why don't you tell me?"

"That's a fabrication! How, how could I do such a thing!"

"Hush!" Chu Wenfeng pushed him back, "Keep your voice down, you are not afraid of revealing your identity."

Xie Shuci shrank his neck, quickly covered his mouth, and looked around nervously. Fortunately, there was a lot of people in the lobby, most of them were discussing the script, and no one noticed them.

Xie An lowered his eyes, his eyes didn't know where to fall, "You're right, you wouldn't do that."

"A story is a story after all. It can't be taken as real. If it is put into reality, you probably won't let me touch it."

Xie Shuci: "..."

He spoke seriously, with a self-deprecating tone and a downcast expression, as if he had been wronged so much, those who didn't know thought Xie Shuci was a heartless person.

Xie Shuci looked at him speechlessly, this man likes to pretend to be pitiful, but Xie Shuci really liked it.

"Xie An, how did you say that? Feel your conscience, when did I not follow you?"

Xie An pursed his lips, "It's not the same."

"It's different."

"Everywhere is different."

"Be more specific."

Xie An tightened his lips, and said half-truthfully, "I didn't do anything to you that he did."

"Then he made it up?"

Chu Wenfeng held his chin and looked at the two opposite people with relish, thinking that these two people really didn't hide anything.

"I don't know if you have heard that the Meng family has already handed over the signboard of the auction meeting to Xie Shuci." In the crowded lobby, someone said this sentence, and the lobby suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Xie Shuci was taken aback, looking at the person who spoke.

In the lobby, everyone's eyes fell on the man.

Whatever their reason for gathering here, the Token and Auction Conference is very sensitive to them.

It was an ordinary-looking male monk who spoke. He probably did not expect that his words would attract widespread attention. When all eyes were on him, the monks sitting at the same table with him grabbed their swords tightly. In an instant the door was broken.

The air in the lobby became thinner, no one acted rashly, and they were very afraid of each other.

No one was the first to break the silence, and no one wanted to attract too much attention before the auction started.

"Hey, guest officer, your dessert..."

The waiter who didn't know the truth ran in from the backyard. Seeing the silence in the lobby, he was stunned at the door for a while, not knowing whether to move forward.

However, the appearance of the waiter broke the eerie tranquility in the lobby.

"What's so strange about this? Xie Shuci is young and promising, and he is also a Pill Cultivator with the Meng family. Maybe he is trying to win him over."

"Yes, I just want to meet this legendary knight."

The noise in the lobby instantly resumed, and many monks breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Shuci shrank in the corner and shook his head, saying, "It's so scary."

They seem to have returned to normal, but in fact, everyone is extremely vigilant, as if they can fight if there is a slight mistake.

"No one here knows the details of the other party." Chu Guiyi said.

Xie Shuci leaned on Xie An, who held him half in his arms with his long arms, which was a very secure posture.

Xie Shuci sighed, feeling that the atmosphere in the lobby was boring, so he leaned his head on the window sill, watching the crowds on the street, and suddenly regretted coming to join in the fun.

"Hey." Xie Shuci let out a long sigh.

He raised his eyes, and suddenly several familiar figures appeared in his sight.

Xie Shuci rubbed his eyes and sat up straight suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Xie An asked, frowning.

Xie Shuci stared dumbfounded at the few monks walking slowly on the street.

Not far away, the head of several monks on the side of the road turned his head sideways, as if he had some guidance from somewhere, and looked at Xie Shuci impartially.

The two looked at each other, startled at the same time.

Thank you letter: "Master, brother?!"

Cultivator: "..."
