"Okay, okay, look what scared the two kids."
Hong Zhenjia smiled and waved his hand, looking at Hong Butian: "I feel more relaxed now, can you think of anything?
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't expect it, I'm always here. "
"Thank you father."
Hong Butian smiled relaxedly and said, "Suddenly I feel much better. When I think about those vague memories, my head doesn't hurt so much anymore."
"Then let's take advantage of Xiaotian's good condition to find out more about the situation!"
Hong Xiaochen suggested: "Don't worry about Xiaoli and Xiaoyang for now."
Hei Yang nodded quickly: "That's right, you don't have to worry about it at all!"
Hongli's movements were synchronized: "Yeah, yeah, stop scaring the two kids, they'll be scared to death!"
"But don't worry."
Hong Xiaochen comforted: "When this matter is finished... no, before the Five Elements Sect comes, we will definitely give you two an explanation. After all, I am not a bad person who beats mandarin ducks."
"?"*2
"Hand in hand?"
Hong Li smiled stiffly and turned to look at Hei Yang: "Can you please translate, what...is called an explanation?"
"Destroy it."
Hei Yang was expressionless: "I'm tired."
"no!!!"
Hong Li exclaimed, suddenly realizing that everyone was looking at her, she instantly regained her composure and looked at everyone with a puzzled look on her face: "What happened?"
"Ah, no."
The corner of Hong Zhenjia's mouth twitched: "Probably, we are collectively hallucinating."
After a pause, Hong Zhenjia lowered his voice and leaned close to Hong Xiaochen's ear: "Xiaochen, does our Xiaoli really have no mental illness... Well, I'm just asking, I don't mean anything else. ah!"
"Well……"
Hong Xiaochen sneered and said, "Didn't I tell you that before? I haven't found out yet."
"That means no?"
"Well, all I can say is—it wasn't found out!"
"..."
[Hongli: What are they whispering secretly? Why do I feel like they are talking bad about me? 】
[Hei Yang: You can guess it with your fingernails. You must have been taken aback, and you must be seriously ill or something. 】
[Hei Yang: Hey, when will you be like me and be more steady! 】
[Hongli: Climb, climb, crawl! 】
[Hongli: But that engagement was really unexpected! Ahhhhh, the original trouble has not been solved yet, another trouble has arisen, my life is so miserable! 】
[Hei Yang: Stop complaining, crying counts as time! 】
[Hei Yang: Now you should start using your little brain and quickly think about how to solve this matter. This is the most important thing! 】
[Hongli: What can I do? Do you want me to tell the truth, just say: Dad, in fact, the reason why I don’t want to go to the Five Elements Sect is just because I am lazy. I just want to eat without dying, and I can’t stand the difficult life of cultivation. of! 】
[Hei Yang: Well, I think it’s feasible! 】
[Hong Li: It’s okay, Hei Yang, can you die? Um? Wait, there it is! 】
[Hei Yang: What do you think of that you should pay attention to? 】
[Hongli: Go to hell! 】
[Hei Yang:? 】
[Hongli: Think about it, as long as you die, the engagement will be ruined. I’m smart! 】
[Hei Yang: You are such a clever little guy, I’m going to hang myself right now. 】
[Hong Li: Come on, hanging is very painful. I think it’s more efficient to take poison]
[Hei Yang: That makes sense, you still care about me! 】
[Hongli: Hehe, of course, which one of us will follow the other! 】
[Hei Yang:...]
[Hongli:...]
[Heiyang: Hongli kid. 】
[Hongli: Huh? 】
[Heiyang: I*********#]
[Hongli:...]
[Hongli: Then there is nothing I can do about it, just be considerate of me and die for a while, just for a moment, just for a moment! 】
[Hei Yang: Can this thing die twice...]
[Hei Yang: Okay, okay, you have to look at me at the critical moment! 】
[Hongli: Teacher Heiyang, please speak quickly! 】
[Hei Yang: Actually, the idea of this matter is very simple. Let me explain it briefly for you. 】
[Hei Yang: First of all, what's the problem? It's because you don't want to go to the Five Elements Sect, so why do you have to go? It's because Brother Butian was calculated and his level was cleared, and the murderer is escaping. 】
[Hei Yang: And as long as we can use the known clues to catch the murderer and allow Brother Tian to recover, everything will be back on track! 】
[Hongli: As expected of Teacher Heiyang, you understand! My thoughts became clear instantly! 】
[Heiyang: Hey, right? 】
[Hongli: But I still have a doubt here. 】
[Hei Yang: Just say it! 】
[Hongli: How do you know that catching the murderer will allow Brother Tian to recover? Just like when a murderer is caught, the dead cannot be resurrected! 】
[Hei Yang: Good question! 】
[Hongli: Does Teacher Heiyang understand again? 】
[Heiyang: No! I didn't think of this just now, this question really stumped me! 】
[Hongli:******]
[Hei Yang: No plan is perfect, right? Give it a try, what if it works? 】
[Hong Li: If that doesn’t work... I’ll be nothing, wu wu wu...]
[Hei Yang: Anyway, it’s not me who’s missing. 】
[Hongli:? 】
[Heiyang: Well, I mean, believe me! 】
[Hongli: Okay...]
[Hei Yang: Brother Butian is about to tell a story, please listen carefully! 】
"That day, I finished my practice as usual and went out to relax."
Hong Butian fell into recollection: "I heard something on the road about Lin Zixian Changling Chicken accepting disciples. I just smiled. After all, I can become a disciple of a famous and upright sect, so why would I follow a rogue cultivator of unknown origin?
All I was thinking about at the time was what kind of exercises I would be taught when I joined the Five Elements Sect in a few days, and whether I could successfully return to my innate self. "
“At this moment, an old man in gray robe appeared and asked me furtively if I wanted to see something good.
I thought he was a guy selling unhealthy reading materials, so I ignored him, but he suddenly unbuttoned his clothes and showed them to me..."
"Hiss!"*4
The four people around him took a breath: "It's so terrifying?"
"you do not say."
Hong Butian sighed: "He showed me a strange herb. I can't remember the specific shape and color. I just subconsciously thought it was strange. When I said gray before, it should be the gray robe he wore. Confused.
Specifically, that kind of herb can greatly increase the chance of breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm. He saw that I was about to enter the Tao, so he showed it to me. Most people would definitely not let them see it.
At that time, I seemed to be obsessed with something, or maybe I had already fallen into a trap, because I smelled a strange aroma and felt my brain was a little swollen, and a voice came out in my mind: I must get it!
After that, I remember we found a remote place to discuss the transaction, and then..."
"Then what?"
"Then I seemed to turn into a medicinal herb!"
Hong Buyian had a look of fear on his face: “Breaking ground from the dark underground, being exposed to the wind and the sun, being lonely year after year, sinking into darkness all day long.
After that, I woke up after I don’t know how long, and then it looked like this...
That’s all I know, and there’s nothing more I can tell you if you ask me! "
"The old man in gray robe..."
Hong Xiaochen and Hong Zhenjia looked at each other and nodded. Although they didn't seem to know any information, they seemed to know a lot of clues.
"I'll have someone notify Lao San and the others later."
Hong Zhenjia said seriously: "We will investigate according to the direction and clues provided by Xiaotian."
"I will also explain the situation to the city lord."
Hong Xiaochen's face was serious: "After all, this kind of thing is not just a matter of one family or two families, but a major event that threatens the stability of the city, and all possible forces need to be mobilized!"
Hei Yang and Hong Li looked at each other, nodded, and said seriously: "In that case, let's go and help with the investigation. One more person will help us to help Brother Butian return to normal as soon as possible!"
"It's great that you think so!"
"That's right, let's work together, shoulder to shoulder, to catch this mastermind!"
…
"Are you only hot for three minutes?"
"I also want to ask you, who has made a rightful promise before?"
Pavilion in the middle of the lake, stove, blanket, hot milk, salted fish and lazy dog...
