The cub he picked up didn't come with an instruction manual

Xu Huo reached out and hugged habitually, but the hug was empty.

Opening his eyes suddenly, he saw the familiar ceiling, he was sleeping in his own room in Wutou Mountain Cave Mansion.

He wiped his face, got up and went outside to pour a glass of water.

"Goo-dong--"

I raised my head and poured it in, and I felt more comfortable.

It was midnight, and everything was quiet.

He sat back on the bed and stared at the wall in a daze.

It has been two days since he came back from Wuman Valley...

After coming out of Wuman Valley that day, he saw that the girls had dispersed, so he wanted to go back to the passage, but was stopped by the middle-aged woman Ayan.

A Yan persuaded: "Don't go back, in fact, the passage is already blocked, Grandma Wu activated the destruction device after we came out."

"Boom--"

There was a loud cracking sound from behind, and dust was everywhere in the passage, as if it was to prove to Ayan.

Xu Huo was taken aback, "No, I have to go back to pick up people..."

"Grandma Wu activated the valley to self-destruct, the sky road has collapsed, and the village has been buried..." Ayan stopped him, "You won't find anything when you go back."

"No, I'm going to see—"

Xu Huo ignored the obstruction and went straight back to the passage, only to find that the exit on the other side was blocked.

He cast spells, carried away the gravel, processed it for several hours, and finally dug through the passage. When he came out, he found that the cemetery was empty, and huge gravels were everywhere in the valley.

The upper half of the triangular peak has collapsed and fell into the valley. This is what they call the destruction device.

Xu Huo was about to take another look. He first hid the entrance of the cave with a big rock and looked around.

"Wang Wang-"

A dog barked in the distance.

Xu Huo was taken aback and found that a few trees in the corner of the cemetery were still intact. He moved quickly and climbed to the tall tree. After a while, there was movement under the tree.

"Except for the old woman's body, why is there no one there?"

"It must have run away, but the secret path can't be found."

"Did you see that crack? There's blood all around."

"Fortunately, I didn't go in. Just now, there was a bang and it closed. If I just went in, it would have been crushed."

"The valley is empty, what else do you think the dog can find?"

Xu Huo peeked through the leaves.

Under the tree were two men in black, dressed in strange, black one-piece overalls, and one of them was leading a dog.

Worried that the dog could smell it, Xu Huo held his breath and hid in the leaves.

The dog under the tree suddenly twitched its nose and came towards the tree.

"puff--"

Xu Huo quietly popped out "Swipe", and the zhenqi bullet hit the tip of Gouzi's nose soundlessly.

"Ouch-"

The dog couldn't stand the pain and kept thumping.

"Mad Dog, what are you fussing about?"

"Is there something scary?"

Gouzi pulled the person behind him, and Sa Yazi ran away, and the two ran away while barking.

Seeing no one, Xu Huo took the opportunity to get down from the tree, concealed himself, quietly went around the cornfield, and watched from a distance.

At this moment, many people surrounded the cornfield, some were observing the cracks, some were doing field surveys, and some were wearing strange clothes and casting spells.

And in the middle of the cornfield, the terrifying crack had indeed closed, and there were large and small crimson bloodstains scattered all over the ground.

"who?"

A man with the appearance of a Taoist priest raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Xu Huo.

Oops!

Xu Huo turned and ran.

"Wang Wang-"

The dog kept barking behind him, as if many dogs were chasing him.

Xu Huo pinched the formula, and shot out a few bursts of true energy towards the back, and suddenly heard the dog barking and someone scolding, as if he had hit him.

"Inside, inside, chase after you."

A voice shouted, and the pursuers chased in another direction.

This voice is a bit familiar?Are you familiar with this awkward Mandarin?

A figure slowly approached, looked around, and suddenly whispered: "Spit me."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in black overalls. The man looked steady, but his face was extremely familiar. It turned out to be Xu Huo's adoptive father, Hu Bawan.

"Father?" Xu Huo stood up.

"Spit me quickly—" Hu Bawan turned around and left.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Xu Huo hurriedly followed.

The two walked secretly, stopped and stopped, and soon came to a small hidden house.

After entering the room, Hu Bawan glanced outside to confirm that no one was following, then he closed the door tightly, and looked at Xu Huo with his eyes.

Xu Huo greeted him, "Father, why are you here?"

Hu Bawan didn't answer, but asked instead: "I'm out of the meeting, do you want to come back?" (Go out, why do you want to come back)

Xu Huo explained: "Guiling is inside...I want to find him."

"There's someone inside, let's go." Hu Bawan looked depressed, "The grandma inside is dead."

Although he knew that Grandma Wu would die, Xu Huo was still worried when he heard the news, and asked, "Father, what are you doing here? Who are the people outside?"

Hu Bawan sighed, "They are all experts and experts."

"Experts and aristocratic families?" Xu Huo was suddenly surprised.

"Don't talk so much." Hu Bawan handed over a set of clothes, "You change your clothes, and I will send you out of the meeting."

Seeing that Hu Bawan didn't want to say more, Xu Huo quickly put on a set of black one-piece overalls that he handed over, and also buttoned up his hat.

"Spit me—" Hu Bawan looked outside, the surroundings were still quiet, he stepped out the door first.

Xu Huo followed and walked for a while, seeing no one was chasing him, he took two steps faster and asked, "Father, in the dream I often had when I was young, there was a man in white in the dream."

Hu Bawan's expression didn't change when he heard the words, and he didn't answer, and he kept walking.

"I saw you in a dream." Xu Huo stepped up and looked at Hu Bawan's face.

Hu Bawan sighed helplessly, "Something is wrong, I am a member of the Emperor of Heaven, and I was ordered to stop you." (I was ordered to watch you.)

"People from the Emperor of Heaven? Why are you looking at me?" Xu Huo guessed, "Father, you have been helping others to monitor me?"

Hu Bawan turned his face away: "You are a kind of medicine, the emperor of heaven wants to eat it."

Xu Huo was startled when he heard the words, almost staggered, and blurted out: "I am the panacea?" Seeing that Hu Bawan didn't answer, he continued to ask: "Is the man in white in the dream the Emperor of Heaven?"

Hu Bawan still didn't look at him, "That's the shadow of the Heavenly Emperor, not the Heavenly Emperor himself."

"Am I going to be eaten?" Xu Huo was a little dazed and slowed down.

"Let's go first, don't stop." Hu Bawan added: "I don't know, but yes, I'm only ordered to block you."

Xu Huo stepped faster, but his heart felt heavy. After thinking for a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Hu Bawan, "Father, then I am just a task for you, right?"

Hu Bawan avoided Xu's puzzled eyes and did not answer.

Xu Huo smiled and said: "I know you care about me, otherwise why would you send me out secretly?"

"Let's go—" Hu Bawan seemed impatient.

Afterwards, without talking all the way, the two sneaked out from a blasted hole and went straight to the beach, where a boat was parked.

"Get on the boat." His father pushed him forward, "Don't tell others that you have been to this island."

"Father, I'm leaving first, you have to take care." Xu Huo jumped into the boat, started the boat, thought for a while, "Also, if you see Gui Ling, please be merciful."

The boat had started and left the shore, Hu Bawan suddenly threw something on the boat, "It's something from the heavens, it's so hard for you to get it."

Xu Huo noticed that it was a jade slip, and said in surprise, "Father, how did you get it?"

"I'm a poor god in the heavens, so it's not difficult to move things." In the voice, Xu Huo's boat had sailed far away.

"Boy, don't die, be careful—" Hu Bawan's sincere words came from behind.

Xu Huo's heart warmed up, he looked at Hu Bawan from a distance, and waved his hand. Gradually, the figure of his adoptive father gradually shrunk, but Xu Huo knew in his heart that his adoptive father seemed indifferent, with a sharp mouth, but he really cared. his.

Even if the adoptive father is a poor god, he can't succeed in anything, he can't get rich, he has to pick up trash, and he still cares for him from the bottom of his heart. This kind of heart probably started when he was young, when the two depended on each other for life. ..

Thinking of this, Xu Huo in the Wutoupo house sighed, he hoped that his adoptive father was well, and he also hoped that Gui Ling was safe.

However, where is Guiling?

Xu Huo misses Gui Ling very much at this time, misses that chubby little face, thinks of the chubby feeling of the little guy in his arms, and especially wants to hear Gui Ling's sticky shout "Brother".

"elder brother--"

Gui Ling's smiling face appeared in his eyes.

hallucinations?

Xu Huo rubbed his eyes, opened them, and there was still Gui Ling's chubby face in front of him.

? ?

Xu Huo blinked vigorously, then opened them again.

Gui Ling tilted his head, facing Xu Huo right in front of him, blinking his big black and white eyes, "Brother?"

"..When did you come back?"

"Brother——" Gui Ling rushed over suddenly, hugged Xu Huo's waist tightly, and muttered, "I'll see you drinking water when I come back, and ignore me."

This little tone is aggrieved.

Xu Huo's heart softened, and he was about to hug back, when suddenly he stopped. He straightened his face and pushed the child away, "Don't lie to me by acting like a child."

"Ah Huo—" Jiu Ling pouted, and as soon as the black mist turned, the person turned into a magnificent beauty, Qiu Zui. He raised his handsome eyes, and suddenly stretched out his hand, wrapping her in his arms.

Xu Huo pushed but didn't push, so he let him hold her. In fact, his arms were full, and his heart was also at ease.

"Ah Huo, I'm back, I miss you so much." Gui Ling hugged him, but his hands dishonestly touched Xu Huo's waist, stroking Xu Huo's waist up and down, his movements were ambiguous.

"It's done." Xu Huo couldn't help but pushed him away, "It's almost done."

Gui Ling was dissatisfied with coquettishness and said: "Ah Huo, I'm almost dead, and you still don't give me a hug."

"Almost gone?" Xu Huo blocked his claws and looked at him, "Where is the money? Where are those ghosts?"

"I've left money outside, and it always interferes with my good work." Gui Ling said without blushing and heartbeat, "All ghosts are thrown to Po Houying, look, he's going to be promoted again soon. He pretended to be pitiful again, "Ah Huo, I just won the battle, give me a hug."

"Where's Ah Feng?" Xu Huo didn't answer his words.

Gui Ling frowned, "Ah Feng disappeared, and I don't know where he went."

"What's going on in that gap?" Xu Huo asked curiously, "Where does it lead? How did you get out?"

"It leads to the underworld..." Gui Ling proudly said, "I'm familiar with that place, it's very easy to leave."

Xu Huo nodded suddenly, "No wonder, I went back to look for you, but I couldn't find you." After finishing speaking, he took out a jade slip from the bedside table, "I met my adoptive father, and this was given to us by my adoptive father."

"Father?" Gui Ling was stunned for a moment.

Xu Huo frowned and said: "That's right, Grandma Wu closed Wuman Valley to prevent people from outside the valley. By the way, I saw those who entered the valley, and my adoptive father was among them."

Gui Ling asked curiously, "Who are those people?"

Xu Huo shook his head, "I don't know, it seems that there are experts and aristocratic families."

Gui Ling thought for a while, "Speaking of adoptive father, I once took a jade box from his adoptive father's house, as if he was hiding something."

"What jade box?" Xu Huo also became curious.

"I couldn't open it before, but now I can." Gui Ling twisted his fingers, and a white jade box appeared on his fingertips.

Some black mist emerged from his fingertips, and the mist "slid" into the jade box.

"Click-"

The jade box popped open, and there was only a single piece of paper inside.
