Xia Houyi threw away the yarrow in his hand and rushed out of the calculation room without putting on his shoes. In the thatched cottage, a small fire in the red clay stove was burning bright red, and Zhuge Qingmin was making tea.

"Shuilongyin" is the name of a kind of tea. The reason why it is named "Shuilongyin" is because half of the tea tree grows in water. However, the tea leaves that are soaked in water all day long are better than the part that is exposed above the water.

This tea changes nine times after boiling, it is very miraculous, and it is the highest quality tea.

"Zhuge Qingmin, what do you mean? Do you want an all-out war?" Xia Houyi rushed into the thatched cottage angrily and saw Zhuge Qingmin making tea, with the veins on his forehead bulging.

Xia Houyi's appearance is like that of a middle-aged man in his forties. A cultivator is very good at looking good. His actual age is already over a hundred years old. He is very well maintained, and his beard and hair are thick and black, and there is no trace of them at all.

His true age. He is heavenly and plump, has a Chinese-character face, sword-shaped eyebrows flying at a slant, and is not angry but has authority.

Zhuge Qingmin has white beard and hair, but his skin is shiny and there is no wrinkle on his face. His actual age is actually younger than Xia Houyi. He was born with a pair of strange eyes with changing pupils, with five changes in pupil color, giving him a

A mysterious feeling.

"Start an all-out war? Haven't you already done this? Why are you pretending?" Zhuge Qingmin said coldly.

Xiahou Yi was furious and said loudly: "Zhuge, if you want to fight, then fight. Who is afraid of whom! There is more than one male in my Xiahou family. Do you think you can control us just by holding Jingtian? Stop dreaming!"

"

Just as Zhuge Qingmin was about to speak, Hua Cuiping interrupted: "Mr. Xiahou, don't we have to go to war? The other side has become a 'pure land'. Do we still want to fight and let this place become a ghostland?"

Xiahou was so angry that he laughed instead.

"You detained my great-great-grandson and provoked me first, but you didn't insist on fighting me to the death. What exactly do you want?"

Zhuge Qingmin wanted to say more, but Hua Cuiping said: "Mr. Xiahou, we might as well open the window and speak frankly. As long as your Shenyin Sect releases our disciples from Shenxing Palace, we have no intention of detaining little brother Jingtian."

Xia Houyi said angrily: "When did I arrest the people from your Shenxing Palace? What do you think of our eight Shenmen families? This is really unreasonable! If you want to start a war, please find a suitable reason next time!"

Zhuge Qingmin and Hua Cuiping couldn't help but were stunned. Zhuge Qingmin asked in a voiceless voice: "The Taoist sect in the world has the strength to avoid the eyes and ears of the Shenxing Palace, and with lightning speed, it can uproot the light and dark pillars of more than a hundred cities in the Shenxing Palace. It's not you, or what?

Who could it be?"

Xia Houyi said: "What's the use of pulling out the stakes? We, the eight sects of Shenmen, have always been frank in doing things, and we don't deny it. Your Wuji Shrine brought trouble to the world, and you must have offended other sects and received retribution."

"

Zhuge Qingmin said: "It should be your Shenyin Sect that endangers the people of the world, right? Don't forget that out of the seven battles, you were the ones who started six!"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you. It's just a waste of words. Every injustice has its owner. Jingtian boy, please give it to me immediately and let it go. According to the agreement, Tushan belongs to the eight families of our Shenmen this time. You can

Get lost." Xia Houyi said unceremoniously.

Zhuge Qingmin had a look on his face, turned around angrily and wanted to leave, but Hua Cuiping suddenly sat down.

"The water has boiled for three times, and the water dragon has started to spit out beads. Mr. Xiahou, you are not so unkind that you can't even part with a cup of tea, are you?"

Xia Houyi said: "You and I are enemies, not friends. Why would I use my water dragon chant to entertain evil guests?"

Hua Cuiping ignored him and poured tea soup into several tea cups.

"Mr. Xiahou, the current situation is strange. It is no longer the same as it was a hundred years ago. In the middle of the year, there was a sudden disturbance, and various sects were fighting each other. Before the Shenxing Palace could find out the cause of the matter, another plot was plotted. It is shameful to say that the Shenxing Palace relied on intelligence.

Information is our main business, but this time we were tricked, and we still haven’t figured out who the other party is..."

Xia Houyi burst out laughing and didn't stop for a long time.

He looked at Hua Cuiping and Zhuge Qingmin and saw that these two people did not seem to be hypocritical, and his mood suddenly improved.

"This is not an embarrassment, it should be a great irony. Shenxinggong, who started his career as an intelligence agent, was taken advantage of by others, and he didn't even know who his opponent was. There is nothing funnier than this."

Zhuge Qingmin's face turned red and he was so angry that he could not speak, but Hua Cuiping's expression remained as usual.

She took a sip of tea gently, as if her attention was focused on tasting the tea, and she was completely unaware of Xia Houyi's sarcasm.

Hua Cuiping nodded and praised: "Good tea!"

She put down the tea cup and said softly: "The two of us have been fighting each other for hundreds of years. There were originally thirteen families in Shenmen, but in the end only eight families were left. Our Wuji Palace has eight departments and six courtyards. Now, there are only

Five tribes exist. On the contrary, it is the rise of various Taoist sects... The ownership of this earth is getting farther and farther away from our two families."

Xia Houyi and Zhuge Qingmin also sat down at this time.

Hua Cuiping sighed and continued: "As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is your opponent. This time, the incident happened suddenly without any warning. Many things happened one after another without any clue... We are not finished.

There is no fighting, let’s not talk about it in the past. But now, it is clear that someone wants to seize chestnuts from the fire and seek for the earth element. This is related to our mutual interests. Therefore, I am shameless and want to ask Mr. Xiahou for help. Can I

Give us some guidance."

Xia Houyi said: "You kidnapped my great-great-grandson, and you still expect me to help you. This is really strange. You were slaughtered completely, that's fine. Why should I help you?"

Zhuge Qingmin stood up, bowed deeply to Xia Houyi, and sat down again.

"Xiahou, the strength of the Divine Palace is not as good as before. Now, our strength can't keep up with the two major alliances. We are witnessing the ebb and flow of the Holy Palace. The secret of this Earth Yuan has been explored for so many years, but we still can't figure it out...

The earth element is in the hands of you and me, more or less, it is still a thought, but now, someone wants to take it away, but I am unwilling to do so. I have to force me to go to extremes and destroy it." Zhuge Qingmin Yin.

Said sympathetically.

Xia Houyi frowned.

"Someone wants to deal with you, just go find him yourself. Why do you want to destroy Diyuan?"

Zhuge Qingmin didn't say anything, but looked at Xia Houyi coldly.

Hua Cuiping said: "Isn't this a trick that I just came up with because I had no choice but to do it? Shenxing Palace has now become a joke in the world of cultivation. We are blind, deaf and have nothing to do, so we came to find you..."

Xia Houyi stood up, walked back and forth in the thatched cottage, and finally stopped.

"Do you know the rules?" Xia Houyi asked.

Zhuge Qingmin and Hua Cuiping nodded.

Zhuge Qingmin drank up the tea in the tea cup in one sip, placed the tea cup on the tea tray, raised his index finger, and used his internal force to force out a few drops of blood essence. Hua Cuiping followed the same example and also forced out the blood essence and dripped it on his drink.

In the tea cup.

This is the essence and blood of the two people, which is unusual. The two of them forced out their essence and blood, and their faces were a little gray. Obviously, this essence and blood is also very important to great masters like them.

Xiahou Yi moved far away and brought the two tea cups in front of him. He looked at the blood essence in the tea cups and nodded.

"Follow me." Xia Houyi said in a deep voice.

The sword slave guarding the door quickly stepped forward and helped Xia Houyi put on his shoes.

There are eight gates of the Shenyin Gate, and three gates of the Five Mysteries. The five gates hide in the world and live as a family of cultivators. They are the Xiahou, Duanmu, Huangfu, Zhongli, and Yuwen families. The other three gates are one big, two small, and the big one.

The largest one is Dou Shen Palace, the smaller ones are Chongxiao Sword Sect and Hell Gate.

Among them, Dou Shen Palace is affiliated with the God Palace Alliance. Hell Gate is officially affiliated with Blood God Palace and is an alliance of the God and Demon Palace. Chongxiao Sword Sect is a local force in Xuanzhou City, a large northern city.

Many people in the underground world have only heard of Shenyin Sect and Wuji Shrine, and think that they are forces other than the sixty-seven major forces, and even suspect that they are not in the world of cultivation. In fact, they have always been in the underground world, but most people don't

Just clear.

The sect masters of the Shenyin Sect have always been the five sects of the Cultivation Family, and their hiding place is at the northernmost part of the underground world.

The northernmost part of the underground world is Xuanji Mountain. Xuanji Mountain towers into the clouds and connects to the sky. It is very desolate with no vegetation and no minerals. It is the residence of Chongxiao Sword Sect. This desolate place where birds do not lay eggs is actually

The Xiahou family, the sect of Shenyin Sect, is also a big family in Xuanzhou City.

Following Xia Houyi and Jian Nu, they walked all the way to the depths of Xuanji Mountain. After a while, Xia Houyi led Zhuge Qingmin and Hua Cuiping to an empty mountain top platform.

This is the praying platform.

The Qitian Terrace is a stone surface of more than 200 square meters, short from east to west and long from north to south, exactly the same as the terrain of the underground world.

Xia Houyi winked at the sword slave, who inserted the scabbard of the Chongxiao Sword in his hand into the keyhole of a mechanism on the Qitiantai. Some patterns suddenly appeared on the gray-white stone surface at the top of the mountain that was originally empty. This

It's a map of the entire underground world! Every city, mountain, river, plain, and valley is marked.

Xia Houyi designated two directions and asked Zhuge Qingmin and Hua Cuiping to stand.

"What do you want to ask?" Xiahou Yi asked Zhuge Qingmin.

Xia Houyi was like a mirror in his mind. On the surface, Zhuge Qingmin seemed to be very impulsive, while Hua Cuiping seemed to be very independent and scheming. In fact, it was just the opposite. Zhuge Qingmin was the contemporary of Wuji Shrine.

Palace Master, this is a very smart old fox. Compared with him, Hua Cuiping is far behind.

"Help me find out the person behind the scenes and his location!" Zhuge Qingmin said.

Xia Houyi nodded. He stepped on the seven stars, and the clothes on his body moved automatically without any wind. He muttered words and kept changing his footwork.

Following Xia Houyi's footsteps, the colors of some places on the stone surface changed. Xia Houyi was surveying the land. To put it bluntly, he was re-marking the various forces in the world on the map.

It looks like dancing like a master, but in fact it is not simple.

"disease!"

Xia Houyi shouted, and the heart essence and blood in a tea cup turned into a ball of red mist and spread out from the tea cup, like a red gauze scarf, the size of the stone surface under his feet.

The red blood mist soaked into the ground tightly. It was like a drop of water dripping into a pond. The entire stone surface did not change at all. Xia Houyi quickened his pace, his expression became more serious, and he walked back and forth like a madman.

, running back and forth on the stone surface.

The color on the ground began to change, and a piece of red like oil paint appeared on the map. This piece of red was like a ball of fire, appearing suddenly. In just an instant, this piece of red covered most of the ground.

It was dyed red. Most of the stone surface seemed to be burned.

In addition to the white pure land and the blue sea, this piece of red is everywhere from west to east, from south to north...

Zhuge Qingmin and Hua Cuiping still didn't know the meaning of this color. The sword slave was already sweating profusely and felt restless.
To be continued...
