These two nine-animal sacrificial stones, which were slightly smaller than the millstone, were stacked on top of each other and almost filled up the table in front of Zhang Shiping. He picked up the bronze lamp placed on the corner of the table and placed it on the stone.

After looking intently at the plate for a while, I saw a slight dent where the stone plate contacted the lamp holder.

After another cup of tea, Zhang Shiping saw the stone plate turning into fine sand bit by bit, flowing from the desk to the masonry on the ground. In the end, only the bronze lamp was left in the green-red sand.

Zhang Shiping has seen this situation too many times.

"Alas!" He actually didn't have high expectations for these two sacrificial stone plates before. It was just a loss of hundreds of spiritual stones. Therefore, after sighing, Zhang Shiping waved

Xiu collected all the fine sand, and then with a movement of consciousness, he activated the spirit-gathering array in the quiet room, closed his eyes again, meditated, refined his energy, and accumulated mana.

But on the second day, when the sun rose three poles, Zhang Shiping woke up from his practice.

Because Shopkeeper Zhuang of Tonghai Trading Company was already waiting outside the door, and there was another person beside him. He was tall and thin, with two drooping beards on his lips. It was the He Zhen mentioned earlier. This person touched

He stroked his beard, turned his eyes left and right, stood outside the restricted area of ​​the mansion, and asked Zhuang Ming with a half-smile but not a smile:

"Brother Zhuang, you said that Master Zhang sent you to find me after getting those animal skins from Qinian. Is it possible that he knew the whereabouts of the group of people who attacked and killed us?"

Zhuang Ming gave He Zhen a serious look. He had already asked himself these questions last night.

Now that he said it again, Zhuang Ming knew that these questions were not asked by him, but by He Zhen to Zhenren Zhang who had not yet appeared. It's just that they are old and young, and none of their descendants have high qualifications.

As a generation, trying to find out the whereabouts of that group of people is tantamount to seeking death, so after Zhuang Ming thought for a moment, he shook his head and said nothing more.

Seeing this, He Zhen's eyes showed disappointment, but suddenly, he took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth, and coughed heartbreakingly.

He Zhen said these words without any concealment. Zhang Shiping naturally heard them when he activated his consciousness to open the restriction. His expression remained unchanged and he acted as if he had not heard anything. On the one hand, he drove the puppets to bring Zhuang Ming and the two of them.

On the one hand, he walked slowly towards the nave.

In less than half a cup of tea, the three of them had already arrived at the central hall.

"Zhenren Zhang, this is He Zhen." As soon as Zhuang Ming saw Zhang Shiping, he was the first to introduce him.

"Junior He Zhen has met Zhang Shiping." Although He Zhen beside him seemed a little lazy, he still followed the etiquette and said to Zhang Shiping.

"Sit down. Since I'm here, Zhuang Ming should have told you what I need. How many pieces of animal skins do you still have on hand from Wanku Cave? Take them all out. Spiritual Stone Pill Technique

You can use whatever utensil you want." Zhang Shiping said calmly.

"Brother Zhuang told me before I came to Senior that I do still have the four animal skins here. However, I don't need any spiritual stone pills or magic weapons. I just want to ask Senior a question." He

After Zhen sat down, he looked at Zhang Shiping and said in a deep voice without even taking a sip of tea.

"Huh? I think you should stop asking." Zhang Shiping picked up the tea cup, glanced at He Zhen, and said lightly.

"Ahem!" Zhuang Ming just picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After hearing He Zhen's words, his face suddenly changed and he coughed several times.

Then he quickly put down the tea cup, looked at Zhang Shiping and said with a forced smile: "Master Zhang, he was just pulled up by me and he hasn't woken up yet. Why don't you quickly take out those useless pieces of leather and show them to seniors?" ?”

He Zhen was silent. After a moment, he suddenly put his hands on his hands and laughed, "It seems that the seniors know this group of people. Three years ago, eight brothers and I were attacked by a sneak attack just after we came out of the Ten Thousand Cave. Only Wang Yu and I were The two of them had learned Blood Shadow Escape and were lucky enough to break through the siege and escape with their lives. These people are very sharp in their methods and have a great understanding of cooperation. They are definitely not casual cultivators like us. They are most likely disciples of a large sect. Zhang Senior, is that what I said?"

"Are you crazy? Why don't you apologize to your seniors quickly?" Zhuang Ming shouted at He Zhen sternly.

"Have you finished speaking? Do you think I have a too good temper, or do you think you have no scruples as your life is approaching?" Zhang Shiping looked as usual, drank the tea in his hand, and replied slowly.

Although He Zhen's face looked okay, in Zhang Shiping's eyes, his aura was sluggish, like a soybean light swaying in the wind. He might go out one day. It seemed that in order to escape the pursuit of Zhang Jingyuan and his group, he had The Blood Shadow Escape he used was so powerful that it damaged his original essence and shortened his lifespan.

"Forget it, it seems that senior won't talk about it anymore. We found a total of forty-nine animal skins at the beginning, and I only took four of them. I wanted to study them together after returning to the city, but I didn't want to It's life and death in a blink of an eye. Let's look at it like this, a piece of animal skin costs two thousand spiritual stones, a total of eight thousand spiritual stones. After all, Young Master Hong is extremely generous, and as his elder, he won't let this little spiritual stone go to waste. In your heart?" He Zhen laughed self-deprecatingly, turned over his hand and took out a piece of ancient animal skin, and presented it to Zhang Shiping.

"Eight thousand spiritual stones? If I really want that animal skin, I can give it to you!" Zhang Shiping took the animal skin, looked at it, and nodded when he saw two ancient tadpole characters on it.

Zhang Shiping's consciousness moved, and a gray storage bag fell into his hand out of thin air. Then the mouth of the bag opened, and with a ray of light spitting out, two thousand spiritual stones of different colors spurted out and piled up. He threw the storage bag away. He gave it to He Zhen and said calmly: "There are eight thousand spiritual stones in here. Bring over the remaining three animal skins. And Mr. Hong, what are you talking about?"

"Mr. Hong spent three thousand spiritual stones last night to comb Miss Ruyan from Cuiyuan. I heard that he is from the Zhang family. With such descendants, he must be a romantic figure." He Zhen stretched out his hand to take it. , he only scanned it lightly with his spiritual consciousness and saw that there were indeed thousands of spiritual stones in the storage bag. He put them into his arms without counting them and complimented them.

"Master Hong?" Zhang Shiping groaned, his face suddenly as cold as ice, and a huge aura suddenly enveloped Zhuang Ming and the two of them.

After a few breaths, the pressure receded like a tide and dissipated invisible.

"Senior, if there are no other instructions, then the two juniors will leave first." Zhuang Ming, with cold sweat on his forehead, asked tentatively.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Shiping nodded and said.

Zhuang Ming signaled to He Zhen with his eyes, and the two quickly retreated, leaving Zhang Shiping sitting alone.

…

The streets in the city are busy with traffic.

A beast carriage was speeding. Inside the carriage, Zhuang Ming said angrily to He Zhen: "Are you looking for death? Don't think that force cannot be used in the city. It's easy for those old monsters to deal with us!"

"It doesn't matter. You should give the spirit stone here to Qinian, don't say it was given by me. But this senior Zhang is actually right. I don't know who did it. Maybe it would be better for Qinian."
