Shi Wuqi rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to these two stinky girls.
At this time, he noticed something at the door of the store, which was not there when he came in. He took two steps forward and recognized that it was the purse of the woman in gold. It had a canary embroidered on it and a small word "preface" on it. It lay quietly in the sun, waiting for him to pick it up. The purse was very heavy and contained a lot of money. Perhaps it made no sound because it fell on the ground. Shi Wuqi patted the dust on his bag, looked up and around, then turned to chase the girl.
The man in gold clothes packed himself in a hurry, took the big cloth bag handed by the shopkeeper, and ran out to take a look. He stood at the door for a long time, but did not see the shadow of his sister, stamping his feet in worry. The remaining three people and one corpse also came out. Shanhai said to him:
"Master, don't panic, our friends have already gone to find her. Before dark, we will go back to the rented courtyard. If you are worried, you can wait for them to come back with us. Even if she doesn't listen, tell It's much better for you and her to go there than to wander around the town looking for her aimlessly."
The young man saluted and reluctantly agreed.
The young master's name is Ye Linxi. He comes from the Central Plains and will experience a vast prairie in Qinglize. Ye Mansion's reputation is not that great, at least they have not heard of it, but judging from his wealth and his conversation, one can tell how wealthy he is. The one who had a bad temper with him was his sister, named Zhixu, who was the only daughter in the family. Somehow, there were four or five fathers in the Ye family, four or five sons in each family, and a total of more than 20 people, there was just such a daughter. The whole family regarded it as the apple of their eyes and couldn't put it down. It was truly "a collection of thousands of favorites".
"When my mother was pregnant with her, there were already more than a dozen brothers in the family, and they had no hope for my mother's belly. They all thought about what to name the baby - just Zixu. That year our great-grandfather passed away, and we wanted to Carve the names of the descendants on the monument. Since the child's name is in the belly, it should be written according to the rules of the family. The result is good, it is all carved on the stone. When she was born, she was a girl. Everyone regretted that Grandpa Zeng could not hold her. Fortunately , this name sounds good to both boys and girls."
Mu Wan and Shan Hai looked at each other without saying a word. They probably thought of the same thing: I looked at the three words Ye Linxi, and they were quite pertinent. I was afraid that the whole family was fully prepared, and one of them was bound to hit the mark.
Qinglize has people coming almost every ten days, and those who come only stay for more than ten days. They all come with a clear purpose, and occasionally there are people who are interested in the unique humanities and strange flowers and animals of this place. Shanhai and the others happened to be leaving the courtyard they rented in the morning. When they met them, who were also strangers, they gave him directions.
The environment here is very good. The place that should be hot and dry is very humid because of the water. There are a lot of plants and shade trees here. Sitting at the small table set up under the big tree, the breeze is blowing, and it is very comfortable.
"As for us, it doesn't matter where we go. In order to chase her, I walked in a hurry and only grabbed a bunch of banknotes. But it's not a big problem, as long as there is a bank, we can stay. Our horses are still tied at the inn, and there is no After looking for a good place to live, she saw silver jewelry shops all over the street and insisted on going in. Oh, you said that a girl doesn't like to stay at home embroidering flowers, playing shuttlecock and so on, but she insists on learning story telling. , and the story in the book, ‘Wandering the World with a Sword’, what kind of heroine is she? It’s too dangerous.”
"But you still didn't take her back by force." Dai Luan said.
Ye Linxi raised his eyebrows: "That's even worse. Being disliked by Xu Mei is even more dangerous. Hey, who is your friend? Just... can he be a decent person? My sister will not be in danger if she follows him, right?"
"Master Shi has great martial arts skills and extraordinary spiritual power. Master Ye doesn't have to worry."
Shanhai comforted him so much that he breathed a sigh of relief. But both girls noticed that he didn't answer the first question.
Shi someone whose character is questionable, huh.
"Oh, that's good... um, will they get lost?"
Mu Wan held her face with one hand, glanced at Miss Qi who was sitting upright, and said no. She still remembered that in that mountain village full of bandits, across the entire distance of the village, Mr. Shi was able to command Miss Qi. He should still be in this town.
"Then, I'm relieved for now. If my sister is found, Ye will be very grateful."
Everyone smiled slightly and didn't really care. Mu Wan used another hand to prop up his chin and asked him, "So when you came to Qinglize this time, you were just wandering around aimlessly?"
"We crossed the grassland and the first place we arrived was here. I don't know much about this place. I only know that a Six Paths Impermanence lives here in seclusion. Of course, I just heard about it. Xu Mei is interested in Qing Lize. In the book I’ve seen it before, and I’ve long wanted to come and take in the scenery.”
Shan Hai raised his eyes.
"Do you know the six realms of impermanence?"
"In the twelfth month of the underworld, who in the world doesn't know?"
Mu Wan shrugged: "Many people still don't know...otherwise, there would be no need for Huangquan Bell to exist. However, do you know which Impermanence is permanently stationed here?"
"Of course it's Yu Yumingxu Gao Yuejun."
"Well, you do know a lot."
"That's natural." His tone was a bit proud. "It is said that when my grandfather Zeng was young, in order to solve the difficulties at that time and strengthen the Ye family, he personally came to Qinglize to visit Lord Gaoyue. In the end, he still broke through the iron shoes and used a rare plant. It’s rare, and it’s rumored that this is the only way to get it from a strange flower.”
The three people focused their attention on Ye Linxi at the same time.
"Then, that flower is..."
"That peanut was on a mineral vein. I didn't know how the root system would develop, and I was afraid of insufficient supply of spiritual power, so I had to dig out a large piece of ore. It was very delicate and would wilt on the road several times. My great-grandpa would always bite his finger. Water it with blood to keep it alive. By the way, that flower is called Wajinhua. It was almost extinct at that time. The remaining ones were collected and refused to be seen. The flowers circulating on the black market were sold at sky-high prices. But most of them are fake. At that time, our family couldn't afford it. He went to look for it himself, found the only remaining one in Jintong Township, and took it away. Maybe it is more expensive now, right? The Ye family has a big business. I’m afraid today’s prices are unaffordable.”
"Well, it's not easy to take care of. Mine is also dead."
Except for Ah Luan who answered the sentence, Shan Hai and Mu Wan just stared at each other with wide eyes and no one spoke.
The Wa Jinhua is in Lord Gaoyue's hands.
It would be great if Yun Ge came with them and could ask for clarification.
"Our family emblem has Wa Jinhua as a souvenir. Look -"
With that said, Ye Linxi took off his sword and handed it over. Ah Luan rushed to the table and grabbed it, looking at it carefully.
"So light."
"Yes. This is a pair of double swords. The other one was taken away by Sister Xu."
Finally, Dai Luan finally set her sights on the family crest. It was a five-petaled flower with delicate and lively patterns. The other two people also came over to watch. Ye Linxi sat up straight and continued:
"It is rumored that the flower is related to Nuwa's patchwork of the sky. The petals are also five colors like the patchwork stone: red, yellow, blue, blue and white."
Dai Luan nodded, proving that his words were true.
"How can I find Lord Gaoyue?" Mu Wan asked.
"This... we don't know much about what happened at that time. It was just that it was easier to find her back then, but it is much more difficult now. All external affairs are handled by her subordinates."
Besides, Shi Wu abandoned Master Shi and easily caught up with Zi Xu. Miss Ye was so grateful that she insisted on taking him shopping to express her gratitude. At that moment, they finally took a rest and were chatting in a teahouse.
"Master Shi, really you don't want anything? How can you travel around the world without weapons? Those swords are really not good at fighting. You have to hire a specialized master to make them...or pull a piece of good cloth and cut a new suit of clothes? Your clothes are all It’s old…”
"Miss Ye is too polite."
With his signature gentle smile on his face, Shi Wuqi began to complain in his heart.
It's because I don't know how to cherish it. I didn't know it was so scary for women to go shopping.
But just sit down and drink tea. As they chatted, Wu Qi cleverly steered the topic in the direction he wanted to know.
"I heard that there are many strange people in Qinglize. Did Miss Ye also come here for those legends?"
"Strange people? It depends on which ones you talk about." She took a sip of tea and blinked, "I know only five of them. But..."
"Um?"
Ye Zixu suddenly lowered his voice, moved closer to the table, and hooked his fingers to let him come closer. Seeing her mysterious look, Shi Wuqi was really curious, so he got closer.
"Those five are not humans, but five monsters."
"Huh?"
"They are Satsuki-kun's men."
"Satoshi-kun is..."
Shi Wuqi looked confused, as if he was new to everything.
"Hey, you don't even know about the six realms of impermanence. There are a lot of them in the storybook. Gaoyue-kun is... a person who died in April. After his death, he worked for Lord Yama. Well, it's too troublesome to talk about it, but I really know a lot about Qing Lize."
"For example, the five strange people you just mentioned are also related to her?"
"That's natural. Lord Gaoyue has always lived in seclusion, hiding his traces, and relied solely on the five monsters as his confidants."
"Since you said she was human before she died...why would you trust a group of monsters?"
"Monsters are more powerful than humans. However, I think Satsuki-kun, who wields the monsters, is more powerful. She is also a woman. And the five monsters each have different identities and tasks. They each perform their own duties and run the business of Satsuki. The facades of Yuejun. Some collect world intelligence, some manage finances, and some specialize in accepting commissions... It seems that they are also related to the notorious assassin group Zuo Renmen. With their support, they form the Death Shadow Pavilion that responds to every request. .”
"The Death Shadow Pavilion?" Shi Wuqi pretended to be confused.
"People say that the master of the Death Shadow Pavilion is one of the five poisons. In fact, the real master of the pavilion is Lord Gaoyue. Really, my grandpa Zeng told us. He has seen it! And these five monsters are what people often call them. Five poisons. Different places have different names for the five poisons. In Gaoyuejun's case, they are snake, scorpion, centipede, spider and gecko."
Guarding the palace...
Your Excellency Kari Gong?
