In addition to the increase in players, another point is that the number of NPCs has decreased, and the various shops on the street, as you can see from the name, are obviously opened by players.

Xi Bai thought for a moment, because he was still following Shi Mad by his side, he planned not to contact Ao Zhan first, but to find Guo Jing and Huang Rong, if he could leave Shi Mad by the two of them, or stay in the barracks, then it would be more convenient for him to move, of course, if he could enter Peach Blossom Island through Huang Rong, it would be even better.

Usually players want to see Guo Jing and Huang Rong, although the two of them have passed a lot of difficulties, and trouble is inevitable, but as Huang Yaoshi's apprentice, it is relatively simple for Xi Bai to see Huang Rong.

Thinking like this, Xi Bai lowered his head and walked towards Guo Fuxing, but he didn't attract much attention from others, of course this was his own feeling, maybe when he entered Xiangyang City, he had already attracted the attention of people with a heart.

"Please report it, just say that Xi Bai, a disciple of Peach Blossom Island, wants to see Senior Sister Huang Rong and Huang." Looking at the two soldiers in front of Guo's mansion, Xi Bai hugged his fists and said with a smile.

The two soldiers originally wanted to drive people away, but when they heard that Xi Bai was a disciple of Peach Blossom Island, they even called Huang Rong their senior sister, their faces suddenly changed, and one of them replied: "Please wait here for a while, I'll go in and report." ”

Xi Bai nodded in agreement, and waited outside with Shi Mad Madness, and soon the soldier came out with a butler, and the butler smiled and said: "This young man, please, Mrs. Huang has something to go out, the head of the Guo family will let you enter the house and wait, of course, if you have anything, you can also tell the head of the Guo family directly." ”

Xi Bai thought to himself, he is more familiar with Huang Rong, and he is much worse than Guo Jing, the last time he came, he didn't see each other, he didn't expect that this time it was Guo Jing at home, Huang Rong was not there, these two people were really busy, but he was originally here to see the two, and he is not an unknown person now, since Guo Jing wants to see him, let's meet him.

Thinking like this, Xi Bai said: "It's hard work, since Guo Daxia is willing to see him, it would be great, it just so happens that I do have something to tell Guo Daxia." ”

"Then the young man come with me."

The housekeeper led Xi Baishi and the two into Guo's mansion, passed through the two small courtyards, and came to the main hall, outside the door, Xi Bai saw a middle-aged man with a national character face sitting on the main seat, tall and tall, the middle-aged man looked a little wooden, but there was a flash of light in his eyes from time to time, and he had a kind of momentum that was not angry but mighty, this person was naturally Guo Jing.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time Xi Bai and Guo Jing have met, but the last time they met, it was because of the tie-up activity of guarding Xiangyang, and after the event ended, the memories of the NPCs involved in it would be erased, so for Guo Jing, this was the first time he met Xi Bai.

Xi Bai strode forward and saluted: "I have heard the name of Guo Daxia for a long time, and I am like thunder, and today I finally see the true face." ”

Guo Jing also stood up and greeted him, and also hugged his fists and said, "This is Xi Bai, the head of the Little Five, right?" Sure enough, at a young age, he was very good at martial arts, and I heard that he worshipped his father-in-law and his old man as a teacher, so it can be regarded as a family. ”

Xi Bai was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Guo Jing to be so stupid, and then he thought about it, the other party has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and there is Huang Rong, who is known as the "female Zhuge " by his side, naturally he will not be a fledgling person who doesn't understand anything.

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to get closer, Xi Bai was naturally very happy, and hurriedly said: "Where is it, Guo Daxia is too awarded, since Mrs. Huang is in the next senior sister, I don't know if you can dare to call Senior Brother Guo in the next?" ”

"Haha! Why not, as it should be! ”

Guo Jing laughed and accepted it happily, the two suddenly became more cordial, Xi Bai was naturally very happy, it was unusual to be able to have a relationship with such a big person!

The two chatted for a long time, but there were more compliments, and there was no substance, after a while, Guo Jing may still not be used to this kind of politeness, or he felt bored in his personality, so he looked solemn and said: "Senior brother, you came to Xiangyang this time, but there is something?" It doesn't hurt to be straight. ”

Seeing that the other party was on the topic, Xi Bai also became serious, nodded and said: "Yes, since Senior Brother Guo asked, then I will also say it directly, I can't hide it, I came to Xiangyang nearly a month ago, but unfortunately Senior Brother Guo was not there last time, so I didn't see it, plus Senior Brother Guo also had something to do, so I didn't stay for a long time." ”

"But at that time, the junior brother had seen that Xiangyang seemed to be in trouble, and Senior Sister Huang once took me to see the appearance of those victims, senior brother, so there is really a trace of the Demon Sect in Xiangyang? What's going on now? ”

"I didn't expect that my junior brother would come here for this! This is indeed a question that every righteous person should be concerned about, and it seems that the junior brother also has a chivalrous heart! Guo Jing patted Xi Bai's shoulder, and then sighed: "Senior brother is right, the people of the Demon Dao Sect have indeed committed crimes in Xiangyang City many times, and their methods are extremely cruel!" It's simply angry and unforgivable! ”

Guo Jing's face was angry, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he was originally an extremely loyal person, he usually wouldn't be angry, and even if he was angry, he wouldn't show it so obviously, so you can see how much he hated what these people of the Demon Dao Sect did.

Xi Bai looked empathetic and said, "Senior Brother Guo is right, these people from the Demon Dao Sect are simply damned!" Don't know what's going on right now? ”

Guo Jing's face darkened, and he shook his head and said: "Since the people of the Demon Dao appeared, it has been more than a month now, and the people of the Demon Dao have been frequent and arrogant at the beginning, but these people are cunning and abnormal, except for catching some weak ordinary disciples, they have not caught any important people, but with the increase of time, maybe the protection is better, so that the people of the Demon Dao Evil Sect cannot find a chance to start, or for other reasons, the frequency of their activities these days is much smaller." ”

Xi Bai nodded, and asked again: "I heard that outside of Xiangyang, there are traces of people from the Demon Dao Sect in other places, does Senior Brother Guo know?" ”

"I've naturally heard of these, but it's a pity that I'm also lacking skills, a Xiangyang City makes me anxious, in a hurry, where do I have the energy to take care of other places, your senior sister also went to the place next to Xiangyang City this time to see, hoping to get other clues, but I feel that if the people of the Demon Dao Sect have any big moves, I'm afraid they will still do it in Xiangyang!"

Guo Jing took two steps back and forth in the hall, looking very bored.

Xi Bai didn't expect that Huang Rong was actually running around for the things of the Demon Dao, and thought about it again, now the top priority in Xiangyang is also the matter of the Demon Dao. Listening to Guo Jing's final excuse, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Senior Brother Guo, what is the basis for what you said?" Did you find any clues? ”

But I didn't want Guo Jing to shake his head and smile bitterly, and said, "Where did I find any clues!" The whereabouts of these demonic people are too secretive, the reason why I have this guess is also from what your senior sister said, and the place where these people first appeared was in Xiangyang, there should be something here for them to plot! ”

Xi Bai nodded thoughtfully, but he was very slanderous in his heart, he still thought that the other party had found something, but he didn't want to just guess, although it was not a completely unfounded guess, and it was Huang Rong who said it, that was a resourceful woman, since the other party would say so, it was not entirely a guess, and there was still some credibility.

Guo Jing muttered as he walked aside: "What are these demonic people plotting in Xiangyang?" ”

Xi Bai couldn't give an answer to this question, and seeing that the other party didn't seem to be able to give him any useful information above the Demon Dao Sect, he planned not to talk about this topic, glanced at the stone madness beside him, and suddenly smiled: "Senior Brother Guo, what do you think of this young man next to me?" ”

Guo Jing came back to his senses, as if he had just seen Shi Mai, looked at it seriously for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, the body is very tough, and the internal strength is also a little hot, and the qualifications must be extraordinary, but I don't think the path of this little brother's martial arts is the Central Plains martial arts, I don't know what school this little brother inherits?" ”

Xi Bai pouted secretly, he didn't know how the other party could see the other party's martial arts path, but he didn't let Shi Mad answer, but preemptively said: "Senior Brother Guo is really as wise as a torch!" What I wanted to do was to go deep into the western grasslands, so I met this friend's tribe, and received a lot of help, when I left, this friend longed for our martial arts in the Central Plains, so he had to come with me to see it, I couldn't help it, so I had to let him follow. ”

"Oh? I didn't expect this little brother to be a man of the grassland! I heard that the western grasslands are vast, and I have long wanted to go and see them, but unfortunately I have always had something to do, and I can't get rid of it! Guo Jing was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if this little brother has a big name?" ”

Shi Mad didn't expect Xi Bai to directly tell his origin, and his face suddenly changed, he also thought that the people of the Central Plains would reject the people of the grassland! In fact, he was mistaken, the inclusiveness of the Central Plains is very strong, not to mention the grassland people, that is, the people of the Western Regions, and even farther away, after coming to the Central Plains, they are rarely ostracized, at least they will not be shouted and killed.

Seeing that Guo Jing didn't care about his origin at all, Shi Mad breathed a sigh of relief, learned from Xi Bai and hugged his fists, and said: "In Xia Shi Mad is a member of the Stone Lance Tribe. ”

Guo Jing nodded, didn't say anything, in his mind, this is also to know a junior, or because of Xi Bai's relationship, if it is someone else, although he will not be too lazy to pay attention to it, but he will not evaluate it at all.

Seeing that Guo Jing didn't seem to have any interest in Shi Mad, Xi Bai's heart jumped, the purpose of his visit this time, including the idea of leaving Shi Mad here, he rolled his eyes and said: "Senior Brother Guo, since you also think that Shi Mad is not badly qualified, and he yearns for our martial arts in the Central Plains, it is better to let him stay here and see it, even if he can't learn anything, it is always good to have a long experience." ”
