Chapter 44 Awakening

Zhang Jianxuan.

This is the courtyard specially arranged by the Wei Mansion for Tang Jie for his daily use. Although most of the time, Tang Jie lived with the elders of the Wu family, but the Wei Mansion finally prepared this place for him.

In Zheng Shufeng's words: "The Wei family is also your home."

In front of the flower pond in front of Zhanjianxuan, Tang Jie stood with his hands behind his back, watching a group of golden carps playing in the water, scrambling for the bait he dropped, and said coldly: "Have you found it yet?".

A servant stood solemnly behind Tang Jie, and replied: "More than thirty people have been sent..."

Tang Jie interrupted: "If you can't find 30 people, then send 300 people, if you can't find 300 people, then send 3,000 people, or if you think I'm not the master, you can find as many people as you want Come to deal with the errands! And I said that Master Lu and the others should also go to meet them, why didn't they come out?"

The servant was startled, stepped back a few steps and shouted: "Master, calm down, I will send more people now."

"Then stop talking nonsense and do it right away. If you have any expenses, go out of the business first, and then ask Master Lu and the others to dispatch as soon as possible, and finish the work first! Useless trash!" It was Wei Tianchong who spoke , he was walking with Shi Meng from outside.

The servant was scolded by him and retreated hastily.

Wei Tian rushed over and comforted Tang Jie, "Tang Jie, don't worry, Xiaohu will be fine."

Tang Jie sighed: "How can I not be in a hurry? They should have arrived a long time ago. Now that our affairs are over, they haven't come back yet. A few days... There are too many possibilities."

Because he was dealing with strong men like Wang Jue Mie and Shi Jingzhai, Tang Jie had to put all his energy into dealing with Xi Remnant and the others, and left it to the servants of the Wei Mansion, the industry spiritual masters. Yongsui Mountain has a vast area, even if a cultivator is looking for someone, it is like finding a needle in a haystack, so it is better to measure the material resources of the Weifu and use the advantage of the large number of people to find Xi Canhen and Xiaohu. If there is danger, the spiritual masters hired by Yiwei Mansion should also be able to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, when I came back and asked, I found out that the Wei Mansion had only sent more than 30 people, and none of the spiritual masters had moved, Tang Jie became very angry.

Wei Tianchong was also a little embarrassed, and resentfully said: "My father is all to blame for this matter. Something happened to the Gu family, and some casinos and bodyguards have to be given up. The price is not high. My father thinks it is an opportunity, but it will take manpower and money to win it. Dad Just go to transfer money and transfer people, which involves too much money, the spiritual masters have to follow daddy, and the servants are even tighter at the expense of the master, but it has delayed your affairs."

"Then the master doesn't know that I want to employ people?"

Embarrassment appeared on Wei Tianchong's face: "Of course he knows. But..."

Tang Jie already understood: "But the Wei family is his Wei Danbai's Wei family, not my Tang Jie's Wei family, right?".

Wei Tianchong said helplessly: "He didn't say that at all, that is to say, it's just a little follower and a beast, it's not worth the trouble..."

Wei Danbai didn't underestimate the value of Tang Jie, but he obviously underestimated the status of Xi Canhen and Bao'er in Tang Jie's eyes, especially Bao'er, he didn't understand how important Bao'er was to Tang Jie.

But this still can't make Tang Jie forgive Wei Danbai!

If Zheng Shufeng was handling this matter, she might also despise Xi Canhen and Bao'er, but she would never despise Tang Jie's request. However, Zheng Shufeng's mother was ill a few days ago, so Zheng Shufeng went back to her mother's house to accompany her mother. Wei Danbai has the final say on the matter of the Wei Mansion, which resulted in this incident.

At this moment, Wei Tianchong said again: "I have already told my father that I followed you this trip. I did nothing but earned five or six hundred thousand spiritual coins. My father was terrified when he knew that there was so much money, and he regretted it." Extremely."

"But it's still too late, isn't it?" Tang Jie replied coldly.

Wei Tianchong looked at Tang Jie nervously: "Tang Jie, if Xiaohu really... I mean if it really... died...you won't hold grudges against our Wei family just because of this?"

Hearing this, Tang Jie looked at Wei Tianchong.

He didn't say a word, but just saw Wei Tianchong's scalp tingling for a while.

Then Tang Jie suddenly smiled: "How could it be? You don't have Tianxin yet, I am still a member of the Wei family, and I still want to frighten the world for the Wei family and suppress Xiao Xiao."

Hearing the following eight characters, Wei Tianchong's heart tightened.

These eight characters can be said to be the greatest role of the cultivator in the family, just like the army is in the country.

However, when Tang Jie spit out these eight characters one by one, Wei Tianchong still felt the cold murderous aura.

This frightened him, he grabbed Tang Jie's hand and said: "No matter what, Tang Jie, you can't do anything to my father!"

"Young master was joking." Tang Jie withdrew his hand calmly and said, "Don't worry, I assure you that I will never cause any harm to the Patriarch of the Wei family."

Wei Tianchong nodded: "I know, I also believe that with your personality, you shouldn't hurt my father. But..."

He looked at Tang Jie with some doubts: "Why do I feel uneasy when I look at your face?"

Tang Jie still had a calm expression on his face: "Maybe it's because your father is the first person who has hurt me in a real sense since I cultivated immortality."

This time, he didn't use the title of Patriarch again.

—————————

The number of search personnel sent by the Wei Mansion has soared from thirty to 2,500. If there are not so many people, they can be hired or hired. As long as they are willing to spend money, there will always be people. , Tang Jie himself also searched with Wei Tianchong Shimeng and the others.

A large number of people were mobilized around Yongsui Mountain, searching all over the mountains and plains, combing through the Nuoda mountainous area like a scorpion. After several days of searching, the good news finally came.

"Found the boy!"

As the news came, the crowd who had been working for many days cheered excitedly at the same time.

Xi Remnant was found by a mountain spring. When he was found, his whole body was covered with scars and he was already dying.

When Tang Jie arrived, he couldn't help being shocked by his injury.

The time delay caused him to suffer from multiple wounds all over his body, his ribs were broken and he was unable to walk, his internal organs were damaged and he coughed up blood continuously, but even so, he climbed down from the mountain alone, and the blood behind him dragged all the way to the top of the mountain.

The strength of this young man's vitality is astonishing, and what really brought him to the brink of death was not those horrible injuries, but hunger.

He has not eaten for several days.

When Tang Jie arrived, the boy was gnawing on food, and those injuries didn't seem to affect his eating at all.

When Tang Jie appeared in front of him like that, he was startled for a while, then stopped what he was doing and looked at Tang Jie.

Suddenly he threw the dry food, lay down on the ground and yelled at Tang Jie: "Master, I'm sorry! Xiaohu is missing, I can't find it!"

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Tang Jie only felt dizzy for a while.

Finally, is it still the news?

Listening to Xi Remnant's narration, the tragic scene of the battle that day gradually emerged in front of Tang Jie's eyes.

He never thought that Xiaohu would go so desperately to save Xi Remnant.

According to Xi Remnant, at the last moment, Xiaohu pierced Xie Yu's head, and his wings were also torn, making him unable to fly. He probably fell to his death from the cliff.

After Xiaohu fell off the cliff, Xi Canhen gritted his teeth and climbed all the way down the mountain by himself, trying to find Xiaohu.

It's a pity that he couldn't find Xiaohu after all, but because of the nearby mountain spring, he has allowed himself to live until now. If he stayed on the mountain all the time, he would be a dead body now.

At the end, Xi Remnant also burst into tears.

Tang Jie patted his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave the matter of looking for Xiaohu to me, you should have a good rest."

"Master, do you think Bao'er will..." Xi Canhen looked at Tang Jie tearfully.

Tang Jie said calmly, "No, it won't. Bao'er is of noble birth, with a strong bloodline, and a very strong vitality. He won't die so easily."

"That's good." After Xi Canhen said this, he tilted his head, but fell into a drowsy sleep.

These days he was all supported by a breath, but now that he was relieved, he could no longer support it.

Tang Jie saw that Xi Remnant had fallen asleep, and said, "Shimeng, I will leave Remnant's injury to you."

Shi Meng smiled and said, "Don't worry."

These years Shimeng has been following Tang Jie's advice, concentrating on logistics support, and he is very good at medicine, and his medicine is quite refined. His medical skills are much better than Tang Jie's. With him, a future immortal doctor, Tang Jie can feel much more at ease. .

Arranging for Xi Remnant, Tang Jie flew directly to the cliff. According to Xi Remnant, he came to the place where they were fighting fiercely, roughly estimated where Xiaohu and Xie Yu fell, and flew down.

When he flew down, he saw a dense forest, so Tang Jie used his eyesight.

These days he kept using this technique, and his mastery became more and more proficient. With a wave of his hand, a spiritual eye automatically appeared in the air, allowing him to have a panoramic view of all directions.

After a while, Tang Jie saw a human corpse more than 400 meters away.

I ran over to take a look, and saw that this person's head was split open, and his whole body was shattered. He was so dead that he couldn't die anymore. It should be that Xie Yu, but there was no Xiaohu around him.

Looking around, Tang Jie saw a small river flowing in the distance.

Tang Jie couldn't help frowning. If the little tiger fell into the river, it would be difficult to find it if it went down the river. As for letting Yiyi search through plants, this method is no longer effective due to the long time in the past.

Thinking of this, he flew back to the crowd and ordered: "Everyone search all the way along the river without missing a single thing."

The large-scale search was once again in full swing.

However, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find the little tiger, as if it had disappeared in this world.

The search lasted for many days, until Wei Danbai sent another message saying that the money and manpower consumed to find Xiaohu had far exceeded the plan and could not continue, Wei Tianchong had to withdraw.

Before leaving, he apologized to Tang Jie, but Tang Jie didn't take it seriously, but said indifferently: "In the eyes of your father, a tiger is naturally not comparable to the family property, tens of thousands of money. It's not that he is incompetent , but the limitations of mortal vision. Maybe you can tell him a story after you go back."

"What story?" Wei Tianchong was puzzled.

"There is a strange beast in the middle of Qixia, named Phantom Demon Fox. It is born with psychics and is unpredictable. If you capture it and make it loyal, it can be a good companion on the road. However, the demon fox is cunning and versatile. It often mixes with people and is difficult to capture. Three hundred years ago, there was a demon fox who leaked its traces. Some cultivators wanted to get this fox, but they couldn't chase after it. The demon fox turned into a hidden form in the world. Under the rage, the cultivator..."

Tang Jie raised his head to look at Wei Tianchong.

Wei Tianchong was startled: "How?"

Tang Jie said four cold words: "Set fire to the city."

Wei Tianchong's whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

At that moment, he suddenly understood what Tang Jie meant.

In Wei Danbo's eyes, a tiger is certainly not worth too much from the Wei family, but in the eyes of immortal cultivators, a mere mortal family is nothing.

For a phantom demon fox, the cultivator can even set fire to the whole city, just to force it to appear.

Wei Danbai's mistake was a mistake in vision. He didn't know that what he gave up was a monster that was 10,000 times nobler than a mortal like him in the eyes of a cultivator, let alone the relationship he had been with for many years.

"It's no wonder." Tang Jie said indifferently: "He is the head of the family. He always feels that he can control everything. Even if we are cultivators, we are still a member of the Wei family and his subordinates. We cannot exceed our authority. Otherwise it's breaking the rules."

Knowing what he meant, Wei Tianchong sighed and said, "Over the years, the spiritual master at home has been polite to my father, getting along well with each other, and there is no disharmony, so that my father has gradually forgotten the majesty of a cultivator. Above the teacher, it's just..."

Tang Jie said indifferently: "It's just that he thinks it's okay to be equal, but he thinks that the interests of the Wei family should always come first, but he thinks that he has done enough for me..."

Wei Tianchong was speechless again.

Tang Jie patted him and said: "Go, no matter what, it's your father, you have to listen. However, Wei Danbai can mobilize you, but he can't even force me to do so, so let me do it myself again." Keep looking."

Wei Tianchong heard that he even called out Wei Danbai, knowing that he was angry, sighed, but turned his head and left without saying anything.

The members of the Wei family withdrew, but Tang Jie and Yi Yi were left behind, still looking for them in the mountains.

However, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find Xiaohu.

In the vast forest, the familiar figure was no longer seen, and Ren Tang Jie wandered in the air, alone.

Another month passed in a blink of an eye, during this month, Wei Tianchong sent him a lot of news. Including that the goods have been delivered to the Xiyue faction, everything has been completed, Wenxin's domestic shock, Xiyue's ups and downs are a sensation, Tang Jie once again became famous. However, everyone's rewards have not yet been officially issued, and they have to go through evaluation, review, and discussion.

Although it is said that the 20% reward is a rule, there are times when the rules are broken, right? What's more, in addition to the bounty, there are also contributions and promotions that must be calculated. In addition, there must be an explanation for the unauthorized use of power.

So Bei Canghan Wuxianguang Peng Yaolong and the others are walking around, what should be flattened, what should be fought, and before they can get benefits, they have to spend a lot of money to go out, and now everyone is borrowing debts and giving gifts everywhere. But knowing that they have a large amount of reward to take, this money is really easy to borrow. They didn't let Tang Jie get involved in this matter, so they took care of it all by themselves, which in turn allowed Tang Jie to get rich.

Wei Tianchong also had to go back to Guanri Peak, and asked Yan Changfeng to help him talk about it. He has performed well recently, following Tang Jie in the limelight, and did not lose the face of Guanri Peak. Yan Changfeng was pleasing to the eye when he saw this apprentice . Before going back, Wei Danbai deliberately asked Wei Tianchong to bring a large sum of money, probably because he knew he had done a poor job and wanted to make up for it. Wei Tianchong specially came to tell Tang Jie about this matter, saying that the money this time was acting jointly in the name of the Wei family and Tang Jie, but Tang Jie just agreed, noncommittal.

Seeing this, Wei Tianchong could only leave with a sigh.

After staying in Yongsui Mountain for another month, Tang Jie still had nothing to gain, so he finally had no choice but to leave.

Before leaving, he looked at the mountainous area and murmured: "I believe you will not die, Bao'er. You are of noble birth and strong blood, you will never die so easily... Maybe, you just need time to recover .I'll wait for you...waiting for your return!"

The river is gurgling, meandering through a large area of ​​mountains, through dense forests, and through mountains. Sometimes it suddenly diverges into a tributary and flows to other places, or a small lake, or joins another river, or directly Enter the dark underground world.

In a corner of the distant mountain, an underground river is flowing calmly, and all kinds of strange stalactites are born in the caves beside the river.

Due to years of erosion, the ground below is flat, and the tiger is lying on the open space beside the river at this moment, with its torn wings spread flat on its body, like a bed of quilt.

This sleep is one hundred days!

During these 100 days, the little tiger remained motionless on its stomach, only the slight ups and downs of its body proved that it was still alive.

On this day, a saw-toothed sickle fish suddenly jumped up in the dark river and hit Xiaohu's body.

The moment he touched Xiaohu, a large bloody brilliance suddenly burst out from Xiaohu's body.

This kind of fierce fish in the water didn't even have a chance to jump, and it instantly turned into powder and scattered.

Then Xiaohu suddenly moved.

First, a few claws shook slightly, and then the broken wings, which had grown up at some point, opened slightly on the tiger's back, and then fell down again.

Then the huge tiger body trembled.

Along with the shaking, thick white smoke spewed out from the tiger's nose.

Xiaohu's eyes slowly opened.

When he opened his eyes, the tiger's eyes flashed with the brilliance of wisdom.

The next moment it stood up like a human, and then suddenly said: "What a long dream!"

It even started to speak, which means that Bao'er has officially entered the enlightenment period.

However, at the next moment, Bao'er suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "It was such a long dream, I finally remembered..."

"I finally remembered..."

"I remembered……"

"Woke up……"

This sound is like a torrent of bells and waves, spreading in the underground cave over and over again.

The next moment Bao'er's expression suddenly turned into anger.

This anger was like a fire, erupting from the depths of its body and mind, forming a strong wave of energy and sweeping around.

"Aw!"

It roared loudly, and its angry roar was like thunder.

"Moonwashing Sect!" It roared wildly, with blood in its tiger's eyes: "How dare you treat my White Tiger Clan like this, I will never let you go!"

As it spoke, it lowered and looked at its tiger claws.

It shook its head: "But it's not the time yet... I'm going to find my strength... to find the long-lost power of my clan..."

"Wait until that day, I will come back and come back to find you."

It said in a low voice.

Suddenly, its body shook.

"Tang Jie..." The name blurted out.

Countless images flashed through its mind at that moment, and Xiaohu's heart softened suddenly.

That's right, there is at least one person among the Xiyue faction who really treats it well.

"It's a pity..." The tiger's eyes closed, and two bloody tears flowed down.

It murmured: "The kindness of one person, how can it compare with the hatred of a family, the love of nurturing, and the kindness of getting out of trouble, we can only repay it in the next life. From today on, I will not be called Bao'er."

"My name... is Wang Yao!"

"Roar!"
