    Xie Ren was silent. Jun Wu shook his head, saying, “Measure you don’t know.”

    He slightly turned his head, signaling Xie Ren to follow him, and the two of them slowly walked towards the back of the Divine Martial Hall.

    Jun Wu walked forward with his hands in front of him, saying as he walked, “Xian Le is growing up now.”

    When he said that, Xie Ren naturally did not dare to answer. Jun Wu added: “Eight hundred years ago I told you to remember to communicate with me from time to time after you went down, not to roll around in the mud alone, but you went down for eight hundred years without any communication, and tortured yourself to death down there all by yourself. Fly up so many days this time, not once to report to the Divine Martial Palace. If another person is so neglectful and disrespectful, the Spiritual Wen Hall can directly go to the accountability.”

    Xie Ren’s “I’m sorry”, of course, meant more than that. Junwu naturally knew that, and said, “If you’re still apologizing for stabbing those swords, then forget it. You said yourself, after stabbing, you’ve forgotten everything.”

    Xie Ren laughed bitterly, “…… How can this be forgotten.”

    Juno said in a faint voice, “Then look forward, there is still a lot that needs to be done for you.”

    Xie Ren rubbed his brow and said, “Xian Le’s eyes are just a ragged immortal, no magic power, can’t talk about being needed, just don’t add to the chaos.”

    Jungo said, “Why do you have to be so self deprecating? The two things you’ve done since you came back, weren’t they both quite good.”

    Xie Ren lamented, “It’s just possible that I just came back and offended General Pei.”

    Jun Wu said, “Ming Guang’s side is fine, I will watch over him, you don’t have to worry. However,” Jun Wu turned around and said, “Let’s talk about it, what kind of people did you mess with this time?”

    Xie Ren raised her hand and said, “Emperor, I swear I really didn’t do anything. It’s just that I happened to meet a very interesting little friend on the road one day and spent some time with him and didn’t think much of it.”

    Jun Wu nodded his head and said, ”A chance encounter, little friend, Jedi Ghost King. Xianle, do you know what the consequences would have been if General Pei had pursued this just now and you had said the same thing in front of the other Magi. No one would have believed you.”

    Xie Ren said helplessly, ”Xian Le knows. That’s why I also have to thank Emperor for relieving me in time. Emperor, you’re not really going to interrogate me, are you? I won’t collude with the ghost world. It’s all just blind worry.”

    Jun Wu said, “I naturally know that you won’t collude with the ghost world.”

    Xie Ren said, “Many thanks for the emperor’s trust.”

    Instead, Jun Wu said, “However, I have an important matter at hand, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave it to you.”

    Xie Ren said, “What is it?”

    At this time, the two have come to the back of the divine martial arts hall. The front and back of the hall were separated by a tall mural, and on the front of the mural, the painting was of a golden hall towering over the top of the sea of clouds with white light, and on the back of the mural, it was a map of 10,000 miles of mountains and rivers. Looking up, this huge map is embedded with many fine pearls, like stars.

    These, all of them, were the markings of where the Divine Martial Hall on earth was located. The fact that there was a pearl set here meant that there was a Divine Martial Hall here. Eight hundred years ago, when Jun Wu led Xie Ren, who was ascending for the first time, to this place, those starlights were not as dense as this, but now, above the map, the twinkling beads of light almost evenly covered the entire field of vision, wonderful and shocking.

    Jun Wu stood before the mountain and river map, pointed to a place in the east, and said, “Seven days ago, many people saw with their own eyes that a fire dragon suddenly burst into flames in the deep mountains near here.”

    Xie Ren’s complexion was grave.

    Jun Wu had one hand behind his back, one hand gently tapped a spot on the diagram and said, “That fire dragon burned for two incense sticks before it went out, during which time countless people saw it, but none of them were injured. Do you know, what does this represent?”

    Xie Ren said, “The method of the fire dragon whistling in the sky. Although the flames are strong, they don’t hurt anyone and only show the giant form. It’s asking for help.”

    Jun Wu said, “Not bad. A plea for help, and, it is a Magus from the Upper Heavenly Court who is asking for help.”

    Xie Ren said, “And, it was a plea for help under a desperate situation.”

    Because this fire dragon whistling sky method flame is extremely strong, and can not hurt people, will definitely burst a part of the magus’ mana, a careless, maybe the whole person’s mana are burst, directly fell, so not as a last resort, no one will use this method to ask for help. Since it had appeared, it meant that there was a Magus who was already in a crisis of last resort.

    Xie Ren said, “Is there any Magus in the Upper Heavenly Court whose whereabouts are unknown lately?”

    Jun Wu said, “This time, all the Magi were summoned back, in fact, not only for the matter of the Half Moon Pass, but more mainly to take this opportunity to clear the whereabouts of all the Magi. Aside from the few who are perennially absent, such as the Rain Master and the Earth Master, all the other Magi have responded even if they failed to make it back.”

    After pondering for a moment, Xie Ren said, “Is it possible that it’s not the current Divine Magus, but whichever retired Divine Magus from the past?”

    Juno said, “That’s a big range. Many of the retired magi have been nowhere to be found for years, and it’s impossible to deduce which one was in distress.”

    I’m afraid that all the civil officials of the Spiritual Palace of the recent black eyes and weak feet is busy with this matter, no wonder they can’t spare the time to investigate the whereabouts of the young man with the human face epidemic in Junshan. Xie Ren said: “can force a magistrate had to explode to ask for help, must come to the head is not small. Is there any lair or gathering place of demons or devils in this neighborhood?”

    Jungo said, “There. It is extremely far away. Do you know the ghost market?”

    Xie Ren thought briefly and said, “I’ve heard of it.”

    The Ghost Market is the first prosperous place in the Ghost Realm, at the junction of the Human Realm and the Ghost Realm.

    All the ghosts gathered here to trade, the group of demons chaotic. Some of the magicians with a little cultivation also go in from time to time to do some trading and find out some news. Even some magi from the heavenly realm would, out of curiosity or for ulterior motives, enter the place in disguise and take a tour. Occasionally, there are also live people who know nothing about it who enter by mistake and are either eaten alive or scared half to death.

    Ghost market since ancient times – but not enough Xie Ren Gu, the earth has circulated many legends about it, such as this classic ghost story: there is a rush of the night to see ahead of a bustling market, big red lanterns, lights, cheerfully go in, but found that the people around them are either masks, or draped in a turban. Either oddly ugly, very strange, but did not think much about it, bought a bowl of noodles and sat down ready to eat, take the chopsticks into the mouth, eating and eating feel wrong, and then look, where is this what is the noodle, is clearly a bowl of black hair is still writhing!

    Pulling his thoughts back, Jun Wu said, “After seeing that pillar of fire, I immediately sent the Magi to search that area, and there were no traces of it, so there is a great possibility that it has been transferred into the Ghost Market. However, the Heavenly Realm and Ghost Realm have always been clearly separated, and without sufficient evidence, one must not break into the Ghost Market. Therefore, this time, I need someone to secretly go down to the realm to investigate.”

    Xie Ren said, “You mustn’t frighten the snakes, that’s why you can’t speak plainly with the Divine Magi in the Divine Martial Hall and leak the news, right?”

    Jungo said, “Exactly.”

    Xie Ren said, “Then Emperor, Immortal Music requests an order.”

    Jun Wu said, “The first person I thought of was originally you as well. But I’m afraid it’s not too convenient for you to do this.”

    Xie Ren said, “What’s so inconvenient about it?”

    Jun Wu said, “First, the east is where Lang Qianqiu is in town. If you want to go, you will have to work with him without fail.”

    Xie Ren said, “I’m perfectly fine with this point. Please rest assured.”

    Jun Wu said, “Secondly, do you know whose territory the Ghost Market is now?”

    Xie Ren was slightly stunned and said, “Could it be Flower City?”

    Jun Wu slowly nodded his head. A premonition materialized in Xie Ren’s heart, and suddenly another thing came to mind.

    The pillar of fire that begged for help was started seven days ago. And the flower city, precisely is also in seven days before leaving the Bodhi Shellfish Temple. This time is also too tight, between the two things, will there be any connection?

    Jun Wu said, “By the looks of it, you seem to be on good terms with him, which is nothing. I’m only afraid that he is involved in this matter. If it is difficult for you, you may not be forced. But if you have any other suggestions or candidates to recommend, you can talk about it.”

    Xie Ren still said, “I’ll go. I think that that Blood Rain Scout is not a person with evil intentions.”

    Jun Wu looked at him and said, “Xian Le, I know you have your own mind. But I also know that you always think the best of everyone.”

    Hearing him say this, Xie Ren laughed a little and said, “Don’t you talk about me like I’m a little princess who hasn’t been out of the house, okay? Now that’s a phrase that really, really doesn’t apply to me anymore.”

    Jun Wu shook his head and said, “I shouldn’t say much about the friends you’ve made, but I’ll say one more thing. Be careful of Flower City.”

    At these words, Xie Ren slightly hung his head, narrowed his eyes and said nothing. He should have said “yes” in passing, and he was already familiar with saying “yes”. However, this “yes”, somehow, he didn’t quite want to say it.

    Jun Wu added, “Be especially careful of his demon sword.”

    Xie Ren said, “How so?”

    Jun Wu said, “Scimitar Doom, that is a cursed blade, an ominous blade. This kind of evil weapon must require very cruel sacrifices and bloody determination to be refined. Don’t touch it, and don’t be injured by it. Otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.”

    Xie Ren didn’t know where a surge of confidence came from, thinking that Sanlang shouldn’t be able to cut me with his sword, but still said with his mouth, “Xianle understands.”

    Jun Wu nodded slightly and said, ”I am naturally most assured when this matter is entrusted to you. It would be great if you have no difficulties, but I’m afraid you’re struggling alone. Which Magus would you like to travel with you?”

    After thinking about it, Xie Ren said, “Whatever. However, one with a better personality is better. The one with more mana is better, and can lend me some at any time.”

    Jun Wu laughed, “This first one you’ve just blocked Nan Yang and Xuan Zhen.”

    That’s, nowadays, Feng Xin and Mu Yi, who’s character, can’t be said to be good to get along with, Xie Ren also laughed. Jun Wu added, “How are you doing with them? Haven’t you spoken yet?”

    Jun Wu never entered any psychic formations and naturally didn’t know what they were yelling blindly about in the formation all day, Xie Ren said, “Said a few words about it.”

    Jun Wu said, “It’s been so many years, or just a few words? By the way, I’ve heard that you smashed the golden halls of many immortal bureaucrats this time you ascended, and among them was Nanyang’s.”

    Xie Ren defended, “I paid it off! Eight million eight hundred and eighty-eight million merits, I’ve paid them all off. This, too, I have to thank the emperor for giving me the opportunity to go with Jun Mountain.”

    Instead, Jun Wu said, “You thanked Nanyang in your heart. I heard Spirit Man say that he later took the initiative to go to the Spirit Man Hall privately on his own, saying that he didn’t need you to return his merit for rebuilding the Golden Hall.”

    Xie Ren froze and said, “This …… I don t know at all.”

    No wonder that eight million eight hundred and eighty-eight million merit, said to pay off, the original also put such a large amount of water, at that time, the destruction of the temple of Nanyang is the most serious, it is said that half of the golden roof has collapsed. Jun Wu said: “Nanyang let Ling Wen not tell you, you naturally do not know. Since he doesn’t want you to know, it’s better for you to continue pretending that you don’t know.”

    Xie Ren did not know what to feel, sweet and sour, bitter and spicy, dissolved in the heart, a scattered sand, in the end, just sighed silently, thought of something else: “This world’s ‘never tell others’, really all are empty words.”

    Jun Wu pondered for a moment and added, “Nan Yang and Xuan Zhen can’t do it, so how about the Wind Master?”

    Xie Ren said, “Master Feng is very nice, however, I don’t know if she is willing to join me on my tour.”

    Jun Wu said, “Wind Master has high magical power and a lively nature, and loves to make friends, in line with what you said about being good to get along with. The last time you came to me, your evaluation of you was also good. In my opinion, it is possible. If you don’t have any more questions, you can go down to the realm with Master Wind this time and go to the Ghost Market to find out what’s going on. Also.”

    Xie Ren said, “What is it?”

    Juno said slowly, “You can try, but don’t push yourself too hard.”

    At these words, Xie Ren was stunned for a long time and smiled, “What are you talking about, I didn’t force myself.”

    Jun Wu patted his shoulder and said, “Go back to the Immortal Music Palace to rest first, I will have someone pass on the Wind Master.”

    Xie Ren was stunned and said, “I didn’t have enough merit to set up a palace, and the former Immortal Music Palace was pushed out long ago, so where did it come from?”

    Junwu said, “A new one was granted to you, so you can’t really just squeeze into that small, shabby view.”

    Xie Ren left the Shenwu Palace and was taken to the new “Immortal Music Palace” by a minor magistrate in the Junwu Palace.

    This Immortal Music Palace was almost exactly the same as the one he used to have, with glazed red walls, richness and elegance. But he stood at the entrance of the palace for a long time, not wanting to go in at all. Ragged Immortal is still more appropriate to live in the Ragged View, such a gorgeous and arrogant Immortal Palace, now he can’t live.

    He then wandered around the entrance, waiting for that Wind Master to come over to him. Who knows, he waited for a long time, but instead of waiting for that white-clothed female crown, he waited for a white-clothed Daoist.

    This person was in high spirits, with an immortal wind floating around him, and was the same “Qing Xuan” who had fought with Pei Ming in the Divine Martial Hall. With a flick of his duster, he said with a smile, “Hello, Your Highness the Crown Prince!”

    Xie Ren also laughed, “It’s good to be a fellow Daoist!”

    In fact, he wanted to ask the other party who exactly he was? However, he felt that it would be rude to do so, and was about to sneakily flip through the scrolls to see which Divine Magus was named Qing Xuan, when the white-robed Daoist walked over and said, “Let’s go! Go down and hang out together.”

    Xie Ren was stunned and said, “Fellow Daoist, I am here to wait for someone.”

    Hearing this, the other party inserted his duster into the back collar of his robe and turned around, wondering, “Who are you waiting for?”

    Xie Ren said, “I’ll wait for Master Wind Master.”

    The white-robed Taoist was even stranger, saying, “Am I not right here?”

    “……”

    The tip of Xie Ren’s eyebrows jumped as he said, “You’re a wind master?”

    The other party unfolded his folding fan and said as he shook it, ”I’m a wind master, is there any need to doubt that? Don’t you know who I am???? Haven’t you heard of my name, Wind Master Qing Xuan???”

    He spoke in a natural and righteous tone, as if it was completely impossible for Xie Ren not to know him. That folding fan had the word “wind” written on the front, with three windy lines drawn on the back, wasn’t it exactly the one that white-clothed woman was rocking that day?

    Xie Ren suddenly remembered: Fuyao said that some of the Divine Officers in the Upper Heavenly Court were in a special need and excelled in the method of transforming; and at that time in the Half Moon Pass, Nanfeng had also said half a sentence, “The Wind Master has obviously always been ……”

    All the time? What is it?

    Man, huh?

    Xie Ren was dragged by the other party for a few steps, still not fully accepted, said, “This …… Wind Master Senior, you you you, why did you dress up as a female crown last time??”

    The Wind Master said, “What? Doesn’t it look good?”

    Xie Ren said, “Good looking? But ……”

    Wind Master said with a smile on his face, “What buts are there to looking good? Looking good is not enough! Of course it’s because it looks good, that’s why I’m dressing up.”

    Speaking here, as if he suddenly remembered something, he put away his folding fan, looked Xie Ren up and down, and in a moment, said, “Speaking of which, this time when we go to the Ghost Market, we’re also going to conceal our identities, aren’t we?”

    “……”

    Xie Ren: “????”
