Chapter 312 Human Relationships
"Some time ago, one of the most outstanding young men of the Chai family, Chai Qiaohong, and a Jindan guardian, Pan Ming, disappeared in the Great Xuan Sea. They were most likely killed.
Chai Qiaohong was the most beloved direct descendant of the great elder of the Chai family, Chai Chuanmo, and was cultivated by him as his successor, while Pan Ming was his loyal follower.
For this reason, Chai Chuanmo was furious and sent many Chai family members to the Great Xuan Sea for investigation. Not only that, the Chai family also put pressure on the three major sects of our Daliang country, asking us to send people to the Great Xuan Sea for a large-scale investigation." Xiao Hongyi explained.
Xia Daoming's expression was very subtle when he heard this.
Seeing Xia Daoming's subtle expression, Xiao Hongyi naturally couldn't think that the murderer was right in front of him. He thought that he didn't understand the interests involved, so he explained: "Most of the coastline of the Great Xuan Sea is in Daliang State, so nominally the immortal cultivation forces in the Great Xuan Sea are mainly under the jurisdiction of our three major sects in Daliang State.
In fact, the Great Xuan Sea is very vast, and the immortal cultivation forces of various parties are scattered, mainly scattered cultivators, and connected to the vast Beizhen Sea, which is the real overseas. If something really happens, they will go directly to the open sea, and the three of us will be How can the big sects control it?
But nominally, the immortal cultivation forces in the Daxuan Sea area are ultimately under the jurisdiction of our three major sects of Daliang. Now that the people are in the Daxuan Sea, the Chai family will naturally hold the three major sects of Daliang accountable.
If it were someone else, there would be no problem. After all, our three major sects are also large sects, but this matter involves the Yuanying ancestor, so we have to give him some face and need to make an effort to investigate. "
"So that's it." Xia Daoming nodded with a look of relief, but he always felt strange in his heart.
"But the Daxuan Sea is different from Daliang. The sea is vast, and there are powerful monsters living on the seabed. Their whereabouts are uncertain and their range of activities is very wide. No one knows when and where they will suddenly rush out of the sea.
Not only that, although the overall strength of the immortal cultivation world in the Daxuan Sea area is far less than that of Daliang, and the power is also very loose, there are still many Jindan cultivators living and practicing on some islands.
These Jindan cultivators are powerful and have a retreat to the open sea, and they often do not obey discipline. Some of them even hate our big The cultivators in Xuanyu may become violent if they disagree with each other.
In addition, the sea is vast and there are few people coming and going. It is very difficult to hunt down the robbers who kill and rob and leave. Therefore, there are many more robbers in the sea than on land.
This time, the head of the sect sent Tong Li to lead the team. Tong Li is the disciple of the head of the sect and a Jindan elder. She led the investigation. No matter what the result is, it can be regarded as an explanation to the Chai family.
But I always feel that Tong Li is still a little weak, and I feel uneasy about her leading the team. "At this point, Xiao Hongyi stopped.
"Since the uncle thinks that Elder Tong is still a little weak, then send another Jindan elder to accompany him." Xia Daoming said without thinking too much.
"The dead are from the Chai family, not from our three major sects, nor from Xuantian Pavilion. For the sake of the Chai family, our three major sects have agreed to send one Jindan elder from each family, and that is already because Chai Chuanmo is the Yuanying ancestor.
If each family sends two Jindan elders for this, people who don't know will think that our three major sects in Daliang are afraid of the Chai family and want to please the Chai family. Besides, there is more than one Chai family in Daxuan Kingdom, there are also Shang family, Yuan family, etc.
It is impossible that if they have something in Daxuanhai, we have to send Jindan elders to help investigate, and two from each family, is that reasonable?" Xiao Hongyi immediately rejected it.
"In that case, let Elder Tong take people to go through the formalities, there will be no danger." Xia Daoming said as a matter of course.
He killed the person, so there is no need to investigate!
Of course, it is just a formality.
"Since we have sent people out to investigate, we can't just do it half-heartedly. First, we can avoid giving people a reason to criticize us and bring disgrace to the Chai family. Second, using this incident to investigate overseas is also a rare opportunity for Tong Li, Xiao Xuan and others to gain knowledge and practice." Xiao Hongyi said.
"Master, do you want me to accompany you?" Xia Daoming looked at Xiao Hongyi, his mood and expression were very subtle.
Hearing this, he naturally understood Xiao Hongyi's intention.
But the problem is that the murderer is him.
Isn't this asking him to investigate himself?
"I was a little undecided when I came here. I wanted to talk to you and make a decision after seeing the situation. But now I think it's best for you to accompany me.
First, you have already completed your foundation building, and your strength is definitely stronger than Tong Li. Tong Li, the Jindan elder, is in the open, and you are in the dark. If there is any accident, you can deal with it;
Second, you need to prepare for the Jindan Avenue now, and you also need to go out more to gain experience and gain more knowledge. The Great Xuan Sea is connected to the overseas cultivation world, so you can also go to learn some overseas news in advance, don't you think?"
After Xiao Hongyi finished speaking, he looked at Xia Daoming with a smile, with the encouragement of an elder in his eyes.
Xia Daoming looked at Xiao Hongyi, who was acting like an elder who was doing it for your own good, and curled his lips disapprovingly.
He has even been to the real overseas, and even killed two Jindan robbery cultivators overseas, and he has a cave. Why does he still need to go to the Great Xuan Sea to gain experience and gain knowledge?
In the end, it's because he is worried about his precious son.
Seeing that Xia Daoming pouted and didn't respond, Xiao Hongyi simply crossed his legs, picked up the tea and slowly blew away the hot steam. The smile on his face gradually became unnatural.
"You little brat, you look exactly like your master! Okay, this is not only a hard task assigned to you by the sect, but also a favor owed to you by your uncle, okay?" Finally, Xiao Hongyi said helplessly.
"Uncle, look at what you said. You and my master have a life-long friendship and are real brothers. Xiao Xuan is your son, isn't he my brother? You said you owe me a favor, that's too polite!" Xia Daoming put down the teacup and said seriously.
Xiao Hongyi glanced at Xia Daoming unhappily and said, "We will set off in two days. Let Xiao Xuan do his work. Just help him when his life is in danger."
"Uncle, don't worry. I'm good at this. I will never be exposed unless it is an extremely urgent situation." Xia Daoming said complacently.
"I am very relieved about this, otherwise I wouldn't look for you." Xiao Hongyi looked at Xia Daoming with a complacent look. This time he didn't glare at him, but nodded with a serious face.
"By the way, Uncle Master, do you know where to find the ten thousand year old stalactite liquid and the thousand year old nine-curve ginseng?" Xia Daoming asked.
"Ten thousand year old stalactite liquid and thousand year old nine-curve ginseng!" Xiao Hongyi glared again when he heard this.
"That's right." Xia Daoming nodded.
"You kid, you kid, you are really arrogant. Which of these two things is not extremely rare, even the Yuanying ancestor can't help but be tempted. You asked where to find these two things right away? If I knew where to find them, would it be your turn?"
"That's true."
Although the answer was expected, Xia Daoming was still a little disappointed.
The Golden Peng Sky Eye Technique is extremely mysterious. It can observe the sky and the earth, and peek into the changes in the qi of heaven and earth. The prohibition is dangerous. Liu Qiaolian is a genius in formation. If she can cultivate this magical power, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings.
But it is much more difficult for Qi cultivators to cultivate this magical power than for body cultivators, and they also need the help of ten thousand year old stalactite liquid or thousand year old nine-curve ginseng liquid to wash their eyes.
With this magical power and secret method in hand, Xia Daoming naturally wanted to find these two spiritual medicines.
Seeing Xia Daoming's disappointment, Xiao Hongyi's eyes flashed with hesitation. Finally, he didn't know what he remembered and took out a small bottle made of refined gold from the storage ring, threw it to Xia Daoming, and then stood up and left without looking back.
It seemed that he was afraid that he would regret it if he turned his head a little more.
"What is this?" Xia Daoming held the bottle, and his heart moved slightly.
"The ten thousand year stalactite liquid you want."
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, take a look!
"Ah, thank you so much, uncle, you are so honest... Hey, why are there only three drops, how can this be enough?"
Hearing Xia Daoming's excited words of gratitude, Xiao Hongyi's heartache was originally relieved a little, but he didn't expect that Xia Daoming would change his tone and complain that it was too little. Suddenly, Xiao Hongyi was so depressed that he almost vomited blood in his throat.
For this ten thousand year old stalactite liquid, he had suffered a lot and taken a lot of risks.
In recent years, he felt sorry for every drop of the ten thousand year old stalactite liquid he used, and he used it very sparingly.
It can be said that these three drops of the ten thousand year old stalactite liquid were saved by him by living frugally.
He thought that as long as Xia Daoming really grew up, he would definitely be one of the leading figures of Qingyuan Sect in the future. Moreover, Xia Daoming generously gave his son a drop of golden elixir liquid, and he was still grateful to him. Of course, Zuo Dongge was also his life and death friend, so today he took out the three drops of the treasured ten thousand year old stalactite liquid on impulse.
As a result, this kid actually thought it was too little.
"Since you think it's too little, then give it back to me." Xiao Hongyi turned around suddenly and said with red eyes.
"Uncle, you are an elder, how can you go back on your word? Let the younger generation laugh at you!" Seeing this, Xia Daoming immediately put away the bottle and said with a serious face.
"You kid, you kid, one day, I will teach you a lesson!" Xiao Hongyi pointed at Xia Daoming, his beard shaking as he threw out a harsh word, then suddenly turned around, rolled up a rainbow light and flew directly out of the hall, breaking through the air.
He was really worried that he would not be able to help himself and drew his sword to teach this kid a lesson.
"Master, take care, I will see you off!" Xia Daoming pouted disapprovingly and said loudly to the rainbow light that had already flown out of the hall.
With his strength, now in the entire Qingyuan Sect, it is estimated that only the Huangfu Patriarch who is serving far away in other places has the ability to teach him a lesson.
"Brother, in the entire Qingyuan Sect, only you dare to talk to Master Xiao like this." Seeing Xiao Hongyi disappear, Wan Yan stroked her chest, with lingering fear and admiration.
Just now, seeing Xiao Hongyi's red eyes and shaking beard, she was really scared and silent.
"Senior sister, you think too much. Uncle Xiao is not an outsider, so why should we be so particular?" Xia Daoming said as a matter of course.
Xia Daoming still modestly kept the original address to Wan Yan and the other three sisters.
However, Wan Yan and the other two changed their address very naturally.
From junior brother to senior brother.
After that, the two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Wan Yan bowed and said goodbye and left.
——
The third day.
Xia Daoming came to Tong Li's elder mansion, Huotong Peak.
The peak is as its name suggests. From a distance, the whole mountain is red, like a burning cloud.
When Xia Daoming arrived at the elder mansion, Tong Li had already come out of the mansion to greet him personally.
In addition to Xiao Xuan, there were three female foundation-building cultivators accompanying him.
One was in the early stage of foundation-building, and two were in the middle stage of foundation-building.
