Chapter 148: You have to do something to seek skin from a tiger

Watching Lao Shi's figure disappear into the clouds in the distance, Xu Yuanchang flew his hands and practiced pinching the mountain ridge towards the mountain ridge, concentrating the power of the mountain and calming the vague surge in his heart.

Practicing and keeping quiet should be regarded as sharpening at the pass and moving forward step by step.

Liu Xianfeng watched for a while, feeling bored, and then looked up at the gloomy sky.

The wind is surging, and it is a sign that it will snow.

She couldn't help but feel inexplicably irritated. It was impossible for her cultivation to show results in a short time, and she no longer needed to be familiar with the formation.

He waved to the fat, careless insect floating in the air enjoying the cold wind, jumped on the flying insect's back and sat leaning on it, lazily giving instructions: "Fly until I'm tired, then land on the ground."

Xue Li suddenly felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. Who had it provoked? Who was tired from flying?

He received a gentle slap on the forehead.

The white jade-colored insects with thick arms, carrying the fluttering charm of the willow skirt, circled and struggled to rise and fall in the cold wind of the valley.

Until it got dark and fell into the forest below, unable to get up again.

At night, snowflakes were crackling all over the sky and falling to the ground.

The insect that was pretending to be dead was so excited that it flew into the air and danced with the snow.

Hei Xiayi came to Bailin Valley on the third day after the snowfall. She was still as beautiful as ever, with a trace of fatigue deep in her eyes. She also brought with her a yellow dog and a black cat that had not been out for a long time.

Liu Xianfeng was overjoyed, hurriedly said hello, transformed back to about the size of a foot, and ran wildly south with her friends.

Outside the mountains are covered with snow, and the valley scenery is like spring.

Xu Yuanchang invited Hei Xiayi to sit down in the tree pavilion, boiled water to make tea, and brought out fresh fruits to entertain the guests.

"I'm leaving my job and returning to Beijing, and my replacement will be Jiang Tangtang."

Hei Xiayi looked at the Taoist priest who looked calm and busy and said lightly.

Xu Yuanchang stopped what he was doing and looked up at the boss, who liked to wear colorful clothes, with a sudden smile between his brows.

"No wonder you took Qianmian away. I never expected that Jiang Tangtang, the fourth son of the Jiang family in the capital, would go to a remote country to serve as the treasurer of a county's demon hunter. I really wronged him."

Back in Jietian City, Shi Wangchen verbally offended Jiang Tangtang, who was traveling around, and was almost killed by a woman under Jiang Tangtang who poisoned her with a divine poison. Fortunately, he begged a saliva talisman from the Taoist Master Yanshan who had endured many calamities to ward off the evil spirits. Gu saved Shi Wangchen from the edge of certain death.

Unexpectedly, we would meet again so soon.

A trace of anger flashed across Hei Xiayi's face, and he said helplessly: "My arms can't twist my thighs. I can't resist the Jiang family's arrangement. For this, I was also... reprimanded. You will serve as an errand under him from now on, so bear with it for a while." Ren, you must not confront him, I will find a way to transfer you when the time comes."

She valued this subordinate who was both capable and lucky, and regarded him as a lucky general.

And that girl Liu Xianfeng was very popular with her.

She got some news in advance and proposed that Xu Yuanchang be transferred away. The master responded and sternly reprimanded her, telling her not to embarrass Jiang Tangtang and that the transfer would be discussed later.

Xu Yuanchang saw that the boss did not understand the conspiracy behind it because the boss did not know what he had experienced.

The God of Sin must keep it a secret and not publicize it.

He is just an insignificant chess piece, and it is even less likely that Si Tiandian's senior officials will reveal their intentions to the lower-level officials.

"Don't worry, boss. Qian Mian and I have learned a lot about being accommodating and diplomatic. Since we have to be under Jiang Tangtang's jurisdiction and have no ability to leave, it doesn't matter if we get a little angry. He won't be used to punish us."

Xu Yuanchang slowly cooked the tea and mixed the soup, and said with a smile.

He guessed that Jiang Tangtang had the task of "taking care of" him and came by the way to perform meritorious service. No matter how arrogant and arrogant he was, he would not embarrass him.

Perhaps in the eyes of the higher-ups, he was certain to die, and it was in line with those people's thoughts to be a fool without causing any trouble.

Hei Xiayi made a special trip to tell this matter in advance.

So far, she has not told anyone else that Jiang Tangtang is coming to take over, including Shi Wangchen, who is kept in the dark.

The Heiji Inn she founded will soon become a thing of the past.

Her master warned that if one cannot tolerate the most useless loyalty and long-term affection, it will be difficult to break through barriers and achieve something.

Maybe, but she believed that she had to break her own path. If she cultivated to the point where she lost the little bit of humanity in her body, how could she become an immortal?

Maybe she will change after going through hardships and setbacks in the future, but it can't be now.

Xu Yuanchang was tested for the last time with a probe, and the ban on Xu Yuanchang was lifted more than a month in advance. It was against the rules, but it was her dissatisfaction expressed to her superiors.

After staying for half an hour, Bai Xiayi flew away alone, leaving the yellow dog and black cat behind to play with Liu Xianfeng for two days before going back on his own.

Xu Yuanchang watched the heroic woman leave with a hint of smile in his eyes.

The world still did not leave him indifferent.

After calming down his slightly rippled mind, he slowly pinched the mountain with his hands as if under heavy pressure. He practiced the Mountain Pinching Technique against the mountain ridge.

Two days later, Liu Xianfeng sent his friends away, put away his playfulness, and returned to his image of a slim girl.

"Sir, don't we go to the city? Sister Hei has lifted your grounding order."

"There's no rush. It's not too late to go after the deadline of more than a month is up. The boss is benevolent and righteous. We can't go to the city to cause trouble for her. If you want to go out and relax, you can go to the nearby countryside within a few dozen miles."

Xu Yuanchang put away the pinching movements with his hands, and with a calm expression, he changed his voice and said: "Tonight I will enter the closed cave and go down to Jiuhuan Palace to meet with Senior Zeng and Senior Gui. You stay up there to help me look out. .”

Liu Xianfeng's face changed color in shock.

She never wanted to set foot in that dangerous place again.

The young master is about to be sent to the tiger's mouth, and the matter has not yet been settled.

Xu Yuanchang looked at the mountain ridge opposite and continued to transmit the message: "You staying outside is the biggest support for me to dare to go down. Do you understand?

"From the scraps of information we got and the fragmented truth pieced together, who in this world can deal with the God of Sin is only Senior Zeng. Even if he falls into the Nine Fantasy Palace, he will definitely have a way to help me.

"He doesn't want to fall into the hands of the Si Tiandian gang in Daning Dynasty, and if we catch this, it will be a glimmer of hope for survival in death."

Now when asking people to do things, even if it's not in person, he calls out "Senior Zeng" one after another, practicing his speech first.

Liu Xianfeng thought about the message suggestion: "We...maybe we can hand over the Nine Fantasy Cauldron and the Nine Fantasy Palace in exchange for great achievements, and avoid having to face the God of Sin, and there is no need to risk death in order to survive? "

She was already afraid and did not dare to covet the treasure.

She just wants to practice treasure hunting happily and relaxedly, without getting involved in complicated disputes.

Xu Yuanchang turned to look at Liu Xianfeng, who looked expectant, and touched the bamboo stick on his head that served as a hairpin.

The boss borrowed it for a few days and then returned it to him without any other explanation. He understood that Taoist Master Yanshan's bamboo stick was not deterrent enough, so he sent a message:

"My original idea was to wait for a longer period of time, experience some things, and see what kind of person the boss is when the cultivation level is high, and then I will offer to sell the Nine Fantasy Cauldron and Nine Fantasy Palace at a good price. We will not have to worry about cultivation resources in the future. .

"The cause and effect is too great. Our original cultivation strength cannot bear the weight. If we report it rashly, I'm afraid we will suffer the consequences.

“It was later discovered that the two treasures had become a hot potato, and they were closely involved.

"Our Daning Dynasty is actually controlled by the power of the great sects of the great families. 'The family and the country are one and closely related.' Like Jiang Tangtang, who can kill people in the street without restraint, poison people who plot to catch monsters, and not be punished by the law. It's not one or two things.

"The day before yesterday, in exchange for benefits, they tacitly allowed Lao Gui to attack ordinary people without any bottom line.

"Today, in order to gain benefits from the God of Sin, they ruthlessly used us as pawns.

"Tomorrow they will get the Nine Fantasy Cauldron and the Nine Fantasy Palace, and they can also negotiate a deal with Zeng Wanglou who suppressed them. As long as the benefits are enough, they can give insignificant little characters like us to Zeng Wanglou as a condition to avenge themselves and eat them alive. Not even a scum is left.

“That’s the truth, don’t have too many illusions about them.

"Why does Lao Shi run to the city every two days? I asked him to quietly collect information on several heads of the Si Tiandian Palace in the Daning Dynasty. Everything that can be collected publicly, including their sects, family power, etc., has accumulated a lot of information. Many, able to analyze the concealed ugliness from the complexity.

"Lao Shi is smarter and more cunning than a fox. He has been doing this for a long time because he had offended the fourth son of the Jiang family and had a life-and-death feud. His temperament would not sit still and wait for death. However, the news he saw made him and me Very disappointed."

Xu Yuanchang didn't want to say more about how disappointed he was.

The Wenxin Gua can only predict the direction of bad luck, and he must find his own way to deal with the disaster.

It's not time to despair yet.

He can still struggle to save one or two things and seek skin from the tiger, but he still has to do it.

It was a pity that he could not use bamboo sticks to ask for more specific things. He tried several times later, but Taoist Master Yanshan did not respond to his thoughts. The bamboo sticks he threw rolled out of the white cloth of the Nine Palaces Picture every time.

Perhaps too many secrets have been revealed, and Taoist Master Yanshan is unwilling to accept it?
Maybe to remind him that good steel must be used on the blade?
