Early in the morning. Xu Changshou had just gotten up when there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" "Senior Brother Xu, it's me, Jiu Niang!" "Come in!" "Hey." Hu Jiu Niang pushed the door open and walked into the room. Behind her, followed a maid with a food box in her hand. "Senior Brother Xu, you didn't have breakfast, right? Let's have breakfast together." "Okay!" The maid brought out the food in the food box. The breakfast was very rich. Each person had a bowl of dog-tooth rice, with some dried spirit meat, which was refreshing and not greasy.
The two chatted while eating. "Where are Senior Brother Leng and Senior Brother Sun? Why don't you see them?" Xu Changshou raised his head and asked. "Why bother with them." Hu Jiu Niang frowned. Leng Muyang and Sun Zhangyang both had fun with Zhu's maids last night, which made her very uncomfortable. It was the maid who Xu Changshou rejected. She felt that Xu Changshou was very clean and willing to get close to him, so she brought breakfast early in the morning. "Uh..." Xu Changshou was stunned for a moment, stopped talking, and buried his head in eating. "Brother Xu, eat quickly, let's go out and play after eating." "Yes!" ... For three consecutive days, the Zhu family provided delicious food and drinks. Leng Muyang and Sun Zhengyang ate and drank a lot during the day and had fun every night. Xu Changshou didn't have that interest, and was dragged by Hu Jiuniang to play in Zhujiayao for three days. That afternoon, the two came to a cave behind Zhujiayao. There was a faint light in the cave, and a cultivator of the sixth level of Qi Refining was guarding the door. Xu Changshou had seen this cultivator of the sixth level of Qi Refining before, and he was the grandson of Zhu Songling, the head of the Zhu family. "Brother Xu, let's go into the cave and take a look." Arriving here, Hu Jiuniang rolled her eyes and suggested this. "What's inside?" Xu Changshou frowned.
"You'll know if you go in and take a look." "Let's go and take a look!" As the two talked, they walked into the cave, but were stopped by Zhu Songling's grandson. "My two Taoist friends, this is the forbidden area of my Zhu family. You are not allowed to enter without permission." Xu Changshou's face turned cold: "What forbidden area? Is there a place in the Zhu family that we can't go to?" "My Taoist friend Xu, this is the order of my family's head. Please don't embarrass me." Zhu Di gritted his teeth and seemed very angry. "I'll find your family's head right away..." "Forget it, Junior Brother Xu, it's just a cave, let's not go in." Hu Jiuniang pulled Xu Changshou, the two looked at each other, and then turned and left. After they left, Zhu Di secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Back to her residence, Hu Jiuniang closed the door and casually set up a soundproof formation. "Brother Xu, have you figured out anything?" "Yes!" Xu Changshou nodded: "The entrance of the cave is warm, it should be the entrance to the Fire Spirit Vein. The Zhu family attaches so much importance to it that they have sent someone to guard it. In my opinion, there are probably four immortal grasses inside." After saying these words, Xu Changshou raised his head: "Junior Sister Hu, what do you think?" Hu Jiuniang nodded: "It must be the four immortal grasses." Hu Jiuniang's eyes were sparkling, and it can be seen that the purpose of her coming was also for the four immortal grasses. "Junior Sister Hu, how much do you know about the four immortal grasses?" "Yes..." Hu Jiuniang paused, then said: "As far as I know, according to the report from the Zhu family to the sect this year, there are 36 plants, of which 12 are mature and 24 are immature." "Really?" Xu Changshou pondered slightly. Hu Jiuniang knew very well how many four immortal grasses the Zhu family had, which showed that she had made sufficient preparations before coming. You know, for such important strategic medicinal materials, the sect's control is very strict. How many there are in total, how many are mature and how many are immature, they must be reported to the sect once a year. In case of damage, the reason must be explained. In short, every plant is important.
Of course, although the sect has strict control, the Zhu family also has ways to find loopholes. Occasionally, they will do something and secretly hide some. As long as they don't hide too much, the sect will turn a blind eye. After all, no matter who is guarding it, it is impossible to prevent stealing. You can steal, but there must be a limit, and you can't be greedy. For a family like the Zhu family, just getting a little is enough for their family expenses. Therefore, guarding the four immortal grass is a lucrative job, and many people are thinking about it. "Junior Sister Hu, how to distinguish the mature and immature four immortal grass?" Xu Changshou asked curiously. Hu Jiuniang: "It's very simple. The immature four immortal grass is green, and the mature one is red." "Oh!" Then, the two fell into silence and stopped talking. The eyes of the two occasionally met, and they separated immediately. Obviously, they each had their own little thoughts. Late at midnight. Xu Changshou got off the bed, then took out an invisibility talisman and pasted it on his body, and he disappeared. After becoming invisible, Xu Changshou swaggered towards the back mountain of the Zhu family. Not far from the cave, Xu Changshou looked inside. At this time, there was still someone guarding the door, but it was replaced by another person, who was also a teenager, and seemed to be the grandson of Zhu Songling's younger brother Zhu Songbai. Suddenly. There was a slight movement in the distance, and Xu Changshou squinted his eyes and saw a man in black hiding in a big tree not far away. Judging from the body shape, it looked like a woman. Sister Hu? She really came. Xu Changshou couldn't help but smile. Since Hu Jiuniang was also here, he was not in a hurry, and followed her and acted according to the situation. Swoosh—— Hu Jiuniang flew over and arrived at the cave entrance in a blink of an eye. The young man guarding the gate was startled. "Who are you?" Bang! Before the young man could react, Hu Jiuniang knocked him out with a knife. Then, Hu Jiuniang quickly ran into the cave. Xu Changshou's eyes flashed and he followed. He was currently in a state of invisibility and was not worried about being discovered.
In front, Hu Jiuniang stopped quickly. She was blocked by an illusion array, which was hazy and foggy. In this case, Xu Changshou only needed a magic-breaking talisman to pass through the current illusion array. However, after a little thought, he felt that it was not appropriate. The Four Immortal Grasses were so important that there would definitely not be only one illusion array. There would probably be other mechanisms. At this time, Hu Jiuniang took out a formation plate. Xu Changshou had seen this kind of formation plate before. It was specially used to break the formation. Junior Sister Hu really came prepared. As Hu Jiuniang input spiritual energy, the array plate burst into endless golden light, which intertwined with the fog. The fog quickly retreated and revealed a path. Hu Jiuniang showed a happy expression and hurriedly got into the path. Xu Changshou was not in a hurry to enter, but quietly observed from outside. Suddenly! Beep-- Beep-- Beep-- A red light appeared in the fog, and a piercing alarm sounded. Then, Hu Jiuniang ran out in panic. "No, someone has trespassed into the forbidden area." "Hurry, hurry, hurry." "Go to the back mountain!" Hearing the alarm, all the people of the Zhu family ran towards the back mountain. On the other side, before the Zhu family arrived, Hu Jiuniang had already run out of the cave.
