"Hengtong Juyuan"'s business in the world is on the bright side, and it also earns money from the two worlds of demons and demons secretly. The branch there is called "undercover", and only Qian Yuzhi and his confidants know about it.
The rich minerals in the demon world can be used by human monks to refine magic tools. Ordinary flowers and plants in the human world become rare in the demon world. Traveling to and from the Three Realms, the profit is large, the risk is greater, the secret operation is not expensive, and the wealth is sought in the risk.
Qian Yuzhi put the invitation card in his arms: "Let the secret manager come over, as soon as possible."
The big shopkeeper promised to step down.
Yu Qishu didn't stay in the hospital for two days. Early the next morning, Meng Xueli and Ji Xiao went to Qian Yuzhi's study.
Meng Xueli knew last night that he and Ji Xiao wanted to achieve good things, not overnight. That being the case, there is no need to pay for Yu Qishu any more, let's take the child home early.
Recently, Qian Yuzhi was discussing business with the Loose Cultivator Alliance. "Hengtong Juyuan" often had contact with the Loose Cultivators. The two wore black cloaks and looked like Loose Cultivators.
Yu Qishu was greatly moved: "Brother Meng! Senior brother!"
The money rat squatted on his shoulders, and the mirage was huddled in his arms. From a distance, he looked like a tree bearing fruits in autumn, full of dazzling sights.
Meng Xueli responded and Ji Xiao nodded.
Yu Qishu had slept well, almost forgot to be angry with Qian Yuzhi yesterday, and lent a mouse to him regardless of previous suspicions.
Meng Xueli suddenly asked, "Zhenzhen Qian, is it convenient to talk here?"
"I have the strictest soundproof formation, so I'm not afraid to talk about business secrets."
Meng Xueli smiled at Ji Xiao.
Qian Yuzhi folded his arms and watched, feeling that something was wrong.
Meng Xueli and Xiao Tingyun didn't act too intimately, but when the two looked at each other and smiled, the unspoken tenderness could even be seen by a blind man.
Qian Yuzhi hesitated: "You two..."
Meng Xueli has a deep love for Jian Zun, so how could he empathize with him and share with his apprentice privately? Is it because Xiao Tingyun seduced him, this brat is so daring. How dare you provoke Jianzun's widow.
Ji Xiao seemed to know what he was thinking, and said lightly: "Yuzhi, you should take a serious look."
Qian Yuzhi was struck by lightning.
When he was young, he was practicing swordsmanship in Jianping. If Ji Xiao passed by, he was willing to give him a trick and a half, and at the end he would say: "Yuzhi, you can practice more seriously."
The "Xiao Tingyun" in front of him has exactly the same tone and demeanor as Ji Xiao, as if it reappeared yesterday, and the old man was resurrected.
"you you… "
Yu Qishu can finally clear up the misunderstanding of the change in Jingsi Valley: "I said earlier that I wasn't controlling the sword that night, but you don't believe it!"
Qian Yuzhi got up excitedly, held Ji Xiao's arm, and looked at him up, down, left and right.
Ji Xiao: "It's me."
Qian Yuzhi consciously lost his temper, and hurriedly let go, feeling rather at a loss: "Okay, that's great!"
Ji Xiao smiled: "Thank you for your trouble over the years!"
In the past, what he needed, he asked Qian Yuzhi to take it from his private treasury. If he hadn't been reincarnated and rebuilt, and in the identity of Xiao Tingyun, he would have come to 'Hengtong Juyuan' with Meng Xueli, and he would not have understood how much Qian Yuzhi had expanded his private treasury after years of operation.
Qian Yuzhi couldn't calm down, he waved his hand and said, "I also want to thank you for trusting me. After all, I get 50% of the profits, and I earn money for myself!"
Yu Qishu couldn't help laughing, the other party's expression seemed to be uncomfortable if he wasn't a profiteer.
Qian Yuzhi sighed: "Alright, as long as Jianzun is there, we can always clear the suspicion that Elder Meng is a demon."
Qian Yuzhi has been worrying about this a lot lately, Hanshan's vitality has not recovered, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and Meng Xueli can't keep hiding, so that others think his life and death are uncertain.
Meng Xueli said, "No need to wash. I used to be a demon. After I ate Hu Si's 'Reincarnation Pill' and became a human, I joined Ji Xiao."
A moment of silence.
Qian Yuzhi stared at the two of them in a daze, with an expression like crying and laughing, and finally shouted, "You guys have to finish it all at once?! Can't you give me some time?"
Yu Qishu: "No! I can't be the only one scared!"
Qian Yuzhi was ridiculed by Yu Qishu, unable to hang his face, and his fan rattled: "I'm someone who has seen strong winds and waves, and my subordinates are the half-demon." Half-demon is a hybrid of human and monster , one of its parents is a human, and the other is a demon.
"What kind of demon were you in the past?" he asked Meng Xueli.
Meng Xueli: "The demon world calls me the King of Snow Mountain."
Qian Yuzhi was silent again, his eyes twirled between the Taoist companions, and finally said: "Okay. Is there nothing else this time?"
Meng Xueli: "I'm here for the Ten Thousand Demons Conference."
Qian Yuzhi sincerely asked: "There is still a month left for the Ten Thousand Demons Conference. If you are not in a hurry, can we talk about it tomorrow? I want to be alone."
Meng Xueli suddenly felt sympathy: "Excuse me!"
…
To the south of Hanshan Mountain, thousands of miles to the south, is Mingyue Lake.
Just as the peaks of the Hanshan Mountains stand on the walls, the caves of the peak masters and elders are located in the mountains; Mingyue Lake also has more than ten islands in the center of the lake, large and small, and the temples and pavilions on the island are surrounded by mountains and rivers.
His disciples traveled to and from the islands, some liked to ride on the water and fly across the wind, some preferred to take a small boat, and some used to walk on the bamboo road on the water.
In summer, the lake is vast, steaming, and clouds of smoke linger. The fish in the lake is shallow and the lake shore is lined with green trees. Where the water and the sky meet, white water birds hover in the air, chirping incessantly.
A good year is better than this season. At this time in previous years, Jing Di invited his friends to lead the young disciples to catch fish and birds with sword energy, lit a bonfire on the shore, and grilled fish and water birds together. He is the senior brother of Mingyuehu. Because of his outstanding talent in cultivation, he is favored by the head of the sect, Yun Xuzi. He usually frolics in the sect, and no one will stop him.
This year was different from the past. When a group of disciples wanted to visit Jing Di, they had to first report it to the Sect Master, and then get the consent of the elders who were guarding the water prison. Only then can we dive to the bottom of the lake, enter the depths of the heavily guarded water prison where the spiritual energy is almost cut off, and meet the big brother.
Because Jing Di openly contradicted his teacher, he was imprisoned and a disciple who was close to Jing Di.
One person said, "Senior brother, why are you confused? You don't believe in Master, but you believe in Meng Xueli. He might not be human, but a monster!"
Jing Di lowered his head, unable to see clearly.
Another person whispered: "Senior Brother Jing, no matter what Master does, it is for our sect. You are Senior Brother, and Mingyue Lake will be inherited by you in the future. In other words, what Master is doing now is for you. Secret Realm Everything has collapsed, and there will be no Vast Sea Competition in the future. It doesn't matter what happened in the secret realm. You bow your head and bow your head first, and this matter... will be over."
Jing Di finally raised her eyes: "Is it okay?"
The disciple rejoiced: "It's been a good time! Master has high hopes for you and will definitely forgive you!"
"Yeah, we'll all plead for you, Big Brother!"
But he heard Jing Di laugh at himself: "I can't make it through. I want to ask a truth, is it wrong?"
The disciples did not know how to speak for a while.
Jing Di: "You all leave, practice hard, and don't come again."
Everyone was helpless, no matter what they said, Jing Di would no longer answer. After they left the water prison and saw the sky again, they couldn't help but talk:
"What kind of magic trick did Meng Xueli use to confuse Senior Brother Jing!"
"Meng Xueli's mischievous words confuse the public, don't listen to them!"
Lake Heart Pavilion, Yun Xuzi served tea for Guiqing.
Gui Qingren failed to refine the secret realm and suffered backlash. But he was unwilling and could not let others know that he was injured, and even in front of Sect Master Yun Xuzi, he had to do his best to support the coercion without revealing any flaws.
He thought that it was Meng Xueli's demon power that competed with him for control of the secret realm, and the two sides pulled together, causing the secret realm to collapse. At the moment when the backlash came, he even felt Ji Xiao's breath. It stands to reason that Meng Xueli is the Taoist companion of Ji Xiao, and the two people's breaths blend together, which is understandable. This is not surprising.
However, since the injury, an inexplicable and inexplicable sense of crisis has enveloped him, making him alert to everything around him.
At the level of Gui Qing, sometimes intuition is more reliable than judgment.
Yun Xuzi had served tea and asked carefully: "Uncle Shi, this disciple has recently encountered a bottleneck again..."
Gui Qing glanced at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Because of Jing Di? Are you panicked by his question?"
Yunxuzi defaults.
"Cultivation above the Mahayana, firmness of mind is the most important thing. No matter what others say, you should think that you are right." Gui Qing sighed, "If your mind is not firm for one day, you will not be able to attain the Dao and become holy. He asked you, You can't follow what he thinks, you have to find a way to believe in your own way and ask him back."
Yun Xuzi respectfully should be: "Remember the teachings of Uncle Shi."
Gui Qing waved his hand: "Go down. Call Ning Wei to come."
Not long after, Ning Wei arrived at Huxin Pavilion by boat.
The real person Gui Qing smiled, and he was much more amiable and cordial than when he faced Yun Xuzi: "This time you have done a good job for the teacher and let you replace Jing Di and be the senior brother, okay?"
Ning Wei said calmly, "But it's up to Master's arrangement."
Gui Qing nodded: "Master has one more thing that I want you to do. When you come back, you will be the senior brother of Mingyuehu, the young master."
He handed over an invitation, and Ning Wei reached out and accepted it, frowning slightly: "Fengyuecheng, Ten Thousand Demons Conference?"
…
"You want to go to the Ten Thousand Demons Conference." Back at Changchun Peak, Ji Xiao locked Meng Xueli in the room and asked him seriously.
Meng Xueli nodded, "Yes."
Ji Xiao did not speak.
Meng Xueli suddenly realized something was wrong, and immediately explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Don't be mad at me."
Ji Xiao stroked the back of his neck: "I know, you are used to fighting alone, and you only think about how to solve it yourself. I will never be angry with you. I only hope that you can rely on me more."
Meng Xueli was stunned for a moment, a warm current surged in his heart, and he couldn't help rubbing the palm of the Taoist companion: "I first met Qian Yuzhi, and he said that he also has business outside the human world. I think, maybe he has a way to go to Wanhua. Demon Conference. If it doesn't work, I'll find another way.
Ji Xiao smiled: "Anyway, did you decide?"
Meng Xueli lowered his head: "Que Xianming got angry and quarreled with me. From what I know about him, he probably wants to gamble for a while and go to the Ten Thousand Demon Conference to make trouble. But he is no match for the King of Lingshan. Falling into a trap, I can't get out of my body... He came to look for me, he came to report the news, this matter started because of me, I can't ignore him!"
Ji Xiao couldn't help sighing: "Then you should understand, I won't ignore you."
