"Oh?" Old Man Cao's words instantly attracted the attention of all the women, especially the dragon girl, and the most critical content of the entire intelligence was not Cao Hong's disappearance, but the unfamiliar word "ferryman"!

Old Man Cao slowly sat on his chair, his eyes stared into the distance, as if he had fallen into some kind of deep memory, and after a long time, he said faintly: "That was about three or four years ago, at that time, Ke'er was not as promising as now, and the people of Wanghai City were more willing to call Ke'er "the first gentleman"! Every time I hear someone secretly saying that Ke'er is not, I, who is a grandfather, my heart seems to be pinched up by someone, and that kind of deep pain makes me still unforgettable! Several times, I even wanted to leave Ke'er to be raised by his parents in Babel City, until one day an old man came to visit ......"

"This old man did not want to reveal his name, but just said that he was a ferryman, he came to me this time, that is, he was entrusted by someone, to hand over half of the treasure map to me, as for the specific use of this half of the treasure map, the old man did not explain in detail, only left a sentence 'Woe to the sea frontier, treasure deep hidden! Half a map, Crane joint defense! Peerless marriage, long history! Hand in hand, travel the firmament!" After that, he said goodbye and left, and never disappeared again!"

"Originally, I didn't know much about the words left by this old man, but it wasn't until Ke'er suddenly rose up later, and Long'er's two elder brothers came all the way to my Cao family for help, and I suddenly realized! 'Disaster arises from the sea frontier, and the treasure is hidden deeply' This sentence is exactly what happened to the Sea Clan! The sentence 'Half a map, Kelong joint defense' should say that my Cao family and the Sea Clan each hold half of the treasure map, so we should join hands to fight against this change and this disaster together!"

"It is precisely out of this understanding that I will order Ke'er to lead the family master to the Sea Clan to help the Sea Clan fight against the Sunset Kingdom! You should also know the later results, and they are generally developed according to the words left by the ferryman, Ke'er and Long'er have developed into a couple, and your relationship should also be able to stand the test of time! Words like "long history" and "traveling in the firmament" are the most direct interpretation of your love!"

"The ending of the perfect finale made me forget the mystery of the ferryman for a while, and felt that Ke'er was favored by God, and his fate should be like this! However, this time, even Hong'er was involved with the ferryman, and then I realized that the purpose of the ferryman, or the purpose of the real messenger hidden behind the ferryman, should be far less simple than I thought!"

After listening to Old Man Cao's story, all the women flashed a moment of confusion in their eyes, they really couldn't guess the real purpose of the ferryman's gift of the Cao family's treasure map and the abduction of Cao Hong, and they couldn't even figure out what position the ferryman was standing on to do these things!

The dragon girl folded the letterhead in her hand and put it on the table next to her, and then said thoughtfully: "According to what you mean, grandpa, does it mean that the disappearance of the eldest brother is good or bad, and in the end it is not in the result of the disappearance itself, but depends on what the real purpose of the ferryman is? If the ferryman does not harm the eldest brother, then the eldest brother will inevitably return one day! On the contrary, the eldest brother's life is really in danger!"

"That's right!" Old Man Cao nodded solemnly: "This ferryman has been involved with our Cao family twice in a row, and each time it is a very important thing! And if we want to find out their true purpose, we must first figure out what kind of existence the ferryman is! But who can answer this question? Even I, an old thing, don't know anything about it, let alone you juniors......

"Maybe, I can try!" the dragon girl said very seriously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After saying this, the dragon girl didn't wait for Old Man Cao to ask, she directly closed her eyes, and through her spiritual power, she began to contact the heaven-covering spirit hidden in her spiritual sea!

This is the first time that the dragon girl has tried to communicate with the spirit of covering the sky in the form of consciousness after owning the artifact! And what the spirit of covering the sky wants is also the active behavior of the dragon girl! In fact, in the process of talking, the spirit of covering the sky is of course listening quietly through all the perceptions of the dragon girl, and she knows the answer to many things, but she does not take the initiative to stand up and tell the dragon girl that the spirit of covering the sky is waiting, waiting for the dragon girl to contact her! In this way, she will be able to better train the proficiency of consciousness communication between the dragon girl and her, so that she can reach the level of tacit understanding as Cao Ke and Qilin Huo as soon as possible!

Of course, this is also the first time that the dragon girl has stood next to her spiritual sea in the form of a conscious body, looking at the magnificent spiritual sea in front of her, the dragon girl's mood suddenly felt comfortable, and even a feeling of wanting to fly!

After a while, the spirit of covering the sky came to the side of the dragon girl's consciousness body with a smile, and said softly: "How is it, are you shocked by your own spiritual sea? To be honest, when I first saw your spiritual sea, I was also frightened! No wonder you were able to crack my illusion so smoothly, it turns out that your spiritual sea actually still has the characteristics of immovable stars! Do you know that your immovable star is the characteristic of it, it ......?"

Before the Heaven Covering Spirit could finish speaking, the Dragon Maiden hurriedly waved her hand to interrupt her, and hurriedly said: "What is the point of immovable stars, I am not very interested in it now, I came here to ask my seniors, do you know what kind of existence the 'ferryman' is?"

"Ferryman?" the Heaven-Covering Spirit thought for a moment and said, "What should I say? You want to say that they are an organization, okay! No problem! You want to say that they are some scattered people who work in their own way! No problem! They are somewhat similar to you human beings in the usual sense of dart, except that their business scope is not only to help people transport things, but also to help people do things that no one can do, solve some people's troubles, etc., and sometimes, if the other party gives enough benefits, the ferryman is even willing to help them kill people! To put it simply, the so-called ferryman is a group of people who specialize in solving people's troubles!"

"In the Heavenly Realm, a ferryman is a legal profession! Every ferryman must be registered with the Heavenly Court, accept the unified supervision of the Heavenly Court, and must not do anything that violates the Heavenly Court! They all have at least the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao and have the qualifications to travel freely between the two worlds of Heaven and Man! They don't care about good or evil, as long as they don't violate the laws of the Heavenly Court, they can do whatever they want! At the same time, they are also the strictest in self-discipline, as long as they take over the work of their employers, they will definitely do their best to complete it! This should be their only principle!"

"Take the two things that Old Man Cao just said, the ferryman gave Old Man Cao half a treasure map, what he did should be to match you and Cao Ke! Obviously, his purpose has been achieved! As for your eldest brother Cao Hong, it must be a certain force in the heavenly realm that has taken a fancy to Cao Hong for some purpose, and he has many scruples about coming forward, so he can only entrust the ferryman to come to the living world to get people...... I say that, I don't know if you can understand Long'er?"

"Oh, I see!" the dragon girl nodded abruptly and said, "The ferrymen are the mercenaries of the Heavenly Realm......!

Speaking of this, the dragon girl couldn't help frowning again, and said, "Then how should I reply to Old Man Cao? Is Brother Cao's disappearance a good thing or a bad thing?"

The Spirit of Covering the Sky thought about it for a moment and said, "I haven't seen this Cao Hong before, so I don't know how his cultivation talent is?"

The dragon girl replied: "Big brother's cultivation talent belongs to the middle and upper level, when he was young, he also won the championship of Wanghai City like Kron! Now that he is in his thirties, his cultivation has also reached the height of more than thirty levels, even in a big country like the Tongtian Empire, he is also a leader with a bright future!"

Hearing this, the Heaven Covering Spirit shook his head slightly: "Although such a talent is not bad, it will not attract the attention of the Heavenly Realm forces, and it stands to reason that no Heavenly Realm Forces will be willing to spend a lot of money to hire a ferryman for Cao Hong, and you can rule out this reason! As for the other possibilities, you need to further analyze and discuss it yourself!" ......

Retracted her consciousness, the dragon girl roughly repeated all the words of the spirit of covering the sky to the old man Cao and the sisters, after listening to the dragon girl's retelling, everyone fell into an inexplicable tension! As the so-called "what you don't know is the most terrifying"! The person hiding behind the ferryman or the real reason why the forces kidnapped Cao Hong, after everyone understood the true meaning of the ferryman, it seemed even more confusing and elusive!

What kind of people or forces could take a fancy to Cao Hong? What was their purpose in arresting Cao Hong? What goal did they want to achieve through Cao Hong?...... None of the people present could give a reasonable explanation for all these problems, and in an increasingly depressing atmosphere, Yu Yunting once again couldn't hold on and fainted......

The Cao family, in this gloom and gloom, spent the next four days.

Early in the morning of the fifth day, the Star Exterminator Team led by Ling Bing finally rushed back to Wanghai City with the Heaven Replenishing Stone in their arms!

Holding the Heaven Replenishing Stone that shone with a faint light, Old Man Cao's eyes swept over the bodies of the Star Exterminator generals below, such as Ling Bing, Ling Wan, Fu Lei, Ramsey, etc., and finally waved his hand weakly, and said: "Everyone get up, the responsibility for Hong'er's disappearance does not lie with you, you have completed your task well, and you don't need to ask my Cao family for any guilt!"

With Old Man Cao's understanding, Ling Ting, Ramsey, and Fu Lei and the other three slowly stood up, only Ling Bing still knelt there, and did not want to move at all.

Old Man Cao was slightly stunned when he saw this, and asked Ling Bing, "I don't know why you are doing this, Miss Ling?"
