"Who is it!" Ling Bufei had just laid down and his consciousness was about to sink. He was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door and became angry.
"Me." A cold and faint voice came from outside.
His fire was extinguished immediately. He got up and opened the door: "Why are you here?"
Bai Mengjin closed the door and opened the soundproof barrier, then flicked his sleeves and placed the portraits on the table.
"Come and identify yourself. Do you remember the person in the portrait?"
Ling Bufei was very excited: "Who is he? I bother you to come here in the middle of the night. In fact, you can come if you want. No need..."
Before the second half of the sentence was spoken, the expression on his face froze.
Bai Mengjin watched him pick up a portrait and look at it carefully, then the second one, the third one...
After a while, he finally put down the portrait and asked, "Who painted this?"
"Head Li's disciple." Bai Mengjin saw that his face was horribly dark, and he knew that he had not admitted his mistake, so he told what had just happened.
Ling Bufei listened quietly and whispered: "Thirty years ago, wouldn't that be..."
"It was when the Minghe Incident happened and when your parents passed away." Bai Mengjin added the last half of the sentence.
Ling Bufei tried his best to calm down and asked her: "Where is this person now? Are there any clues left?"
Bai Mengjin replied: "The disciples said that his name was Wu You, and Li Yan claimed that he was Brother Wu. Other than that, there is no clue. This man is learned and talented. He is very proficient in medicine. He quotes classics and understands ancient and modern times. Li Yansheng admires him very much. , and introduce him as a confidant.”
Every time she said something, Ling Bufei's brows tightened.
This friend Wu is completely different from the person who instigated discord in Fang Xucheng's memory. Fang Xucheng met that man on the Minghe battlefield. The two of them could talk about the same thing because they had similar personalities. They were both sneaky villains who fished in troubled waters to gain military exploits on the battlefield and tried to shirk responsibility when things happened. Just making it up.
According to the disciples of Yaowang Valley, this Wu You has a masterful demeanor that even medical masters like Li Yansheng fall in love with him. How could these two people be the same person?
"Wait a minute," Bai Mengjin suddenly remembered something, "What's that person's name?"
Ling Bufei searched his memory and replied: "It seems to be called... Du Zixu."
The two looked at each other, both showing surprise.
Wu You, there is nothing, Zi is nothing?
"Don't worry, we will investigate slowly." Bai Mengjin comforted him, "Everyone who appears in the world will leave traces."
Ling Bufei knew that it was useless to be anxious. It was already thirty years ago and the person had disappeared long ago.
Now I have to be patient and investigate slowly. Since this person has appeared in Yancheng, maybe I can find any clues?
——
Ji Xingge suddenly understood a formation diagram last night and practiced it excitedly all night. The consequence of being too excited was that I had two dark circles under my eyes the next morning, as if I had smoked something called a cigarette that is used to anesthetize.
She yawned and walked toward the hall in confusion. She almost bumped into Bai Mengjin. She quickly stopped and asked, "Junior Sister Bai, where are you going?"
Ling Bufei followed behind her, and the two of them looked like they were about to go out.
"Go out and inquire about something."
"Take me with you!" Seeing that there was a lot of fun to be had, Ji Xingge immediately cheered up.
Seeing her like this, Bai Mengjin asked, "Can you hold on?"
"Oh, I thought I would fall asleep soon, so I didn't care. If I want to go out with you, won't it be enough to practice my gong once?"
"Miss Ji, why don't you come with me?" Baili Xu came from behind, "I still have some things to do here, and I have to go out after finishing it. It just so happens that you can run it here without delaying anyone."
In fact, Ji Xingge wanted to go with Bai Mengjin, but the two of them had just reconciled, and it seemed a bit intrusive to force their way in?
"We are actually doing the same thing, the same thing." Baili Xu added.
Ji Xingge agreed hesitantly: "Okay then... I'll go next door for a long weekend. Come and call me when you're ready."
What happened thirty years ago is not that long ago. There are many mortals living near Yaowang Valley. Most middle-aged and elderly people over forty years old still remember some of it.
The four people divided their forces into two groups, one went to the city to check the government records, and the other went to the surrounding areas to inquire.
Bai Mengjin didn't want to deal with anyone, so he went to check the government records. The two of them were too lazy to say hello to the government, so they hid their breath and escaped into the government office.
There were a lot of chores in the government, and the governor of Yancheng neglected to take care of them. She and Ling Bufei searched the library for several days, but found nothing.
Baili Xu and Ji Xingge went around to look for people. They asked everyone who had elders over forty years old in their families. Unexpectedly, they were asked to find out clues.
"Sir, some people really remember the mysterious man you mentioned. This man is forty this year. Thirty years ago, he was a ten-year-old boy who herded cattle for a wealthy family. He said that one day when he was herding cattle, he saw an immortal. Come down from the mountain.”
"When the immortal came in front of him, he suddenly stopped, looked him up and down, and said that he had very good qualifications, but it was a pity. Although he was young, he knew that practicing immortality could change his destiny, so he begged him hard. The immortal haha He smiled and said it was not the right time to meet him, so he would wait until he had finished his work and come back to pick him up if nothing happened."
"From that day on, this man has been waiting hard for thirty years. He has not yet married or had any children. Unfortunately, he has not been able to wait for the immortal to come back."
Ling Bufei asked: "Have you shown him the portrait? Are you sure you didn't identify the wrong person?"
Baili Xu nodded: "I asked several times to make sure it was him. The man kept asking about our relationship with the immortal and whether we could take him away."
"Junior Sister Bai," Ji Xingge couldn't wait to continue, "This thing sounds a bit strange, but do you know what is the strangest?"
"What?"
"This person has no qualifications at all." When he said this, Ji Xingge was a little angry. "We tested him several times, and he couldn't retain the spiritual energy in his body. Don't you think that person is harmful to others? If it hadn't been for him in the first place. He is talking nonsense, this person can be a good farmer, and he will not waste all these years, without children, and without any means."
"There is such a thing..." Bai Mengjin exchanged glances with Ling Bufei and said, "Where is that person? Let's go see him."
"We brought it back, just outside." Baili Xu handled the matter very appropriately, thinking of every aspect.
So Bai Mengjin asked someone to bring him in.
This man was wearing coarse clothes, but his behavior was very gentle. Her hair was neatly tied up and her face was neatly groomed. Thinking about what happened back then, he has changed a lot. Although the conditions are not good, he has tried his best to get closer to the immortal masters.
When he walked in, his face didn't have the cowardice of a low-level mortal, but he saluted decently.
"I have met all the immortal kings and fairies." Even the title is very close to the people in the immortal sect.
Ling Bufei smiled kindly at him and said, "This eldest brother is offended."
He stretched out his hand, and a spiritual light wrapped around the human connection door. He quickly took it back with a look of surprise on his face.
Baili Xu was right, he had no qualifications at all, and he didn't react at all when the spiritual energy passed through his body. In such a situation, let alone entry into the Wuji Sect, you can't even be a handyman.
Thanks to Doubu Li and other book friends for their rewards, and thank you all for your monthly votes. A third of this month has passed, persistence is victory!
