Looking at each other, thoughts surge silently,
Spring love is windless and as thin as silk,
The mountains in both places are covered with boundless clouds,
I lay down on my couch at midnight and half of the night.
-----(gorgeous dividing line)-----
Song Pingcun and the others followed the black-robed man through the north wall and walked towards a corridor. One side of the corridor was blocked by a screen, presumably to prevent the outside scenery from being seen. He didn't know if everyone left by this way. The cloister is not long.
"Have we met before?" The man in black pushed open the iron door and saw a downward passage. Song Pingcun did not have a cross-border threshold, but asked something meaningful.
"We've met each other by fate, so you don't have to be suspicious." The other party didn't have much reaction to Song Pingcun's question, but he said something ambiguous.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to answer directly, Song Pingcun didn't ask any more questions.
After crossing the threshold, there were no lights in the passage. This was not a problem. I originally thought I was going to leave on the ball, but I didn’t see the condition of the passage when I came. The man in black robe behind me who led the way said: "You can follow this passage Just keep walking and you’ll be able to leave.”
The door behind him was closed, and it was pitch black. Song Pingcun walked into the passage in no hurry. This kind of darkness without light was nothing to him and Liu Yiyi. He was just thinking about what the man in black just said, Also waiting for information about a black cat.
It was unusually quiet inside and outside the door. The man in black robe did not hear Song Pingcun's departure, and Song Pingcun did not sense the other party's departure.
A quarter of an hour later, the iron door was opened again, Bawang Xiu appeared in Song Pingcun's arms, the iron door behind him closed, and he started to move forward into the passage.
Inside the door, the masked man leading the way shook his head. He seemed to have lost consciousness for a moment just now, but when he heard the sound of leaving footsteps outside the door, he turned around and returned.
As Song Pingcun walked, the voice transmission from Bawangxiu coming from the sea of consciousness made the corners of his mouth slightly raised. After they left, Lao Wang indeed stopped a few people who wanted to get up. After all, he knew that even if these people came, it would be in vain. The key is that it would make Song Pingcun question the agreement of the black market trade fair two months later.
For a quarter of an hour, he and Liu Yiyi saw a glimmer of light, and when they moved forward, they saw the exit. They were outside the city with the night sky hanging high, the night wind was blowing, and everything was quiet. Not far behind is the city wall of Sudu City. The whole body is wild when you see it. There is a faint sound of machinery in the passage. It seems that the way back is blocked. Bawangxiu returns to the passage again, but only returns in a short time.
The passage disappeared less than ten feet away from the entrance of the cave. Overlord Xiu used his sharp claws to pull in all directions, but he did not feel the hollow position.
After Song Pingcun learned this information, he had to admire the organizers' caution and prudence. Apparently, the passage they came out of just now changed in the middle, maybe up and down, or maybe left and right. Just because of the ingenious design, during the walking process I didn't realize it, and the muddy-smelling soil around it further proved that this exit had not always existed, and it might even have been newly opened.
The energy and ability of the people behind the black market transactions cannot be underestimated.
Returning to Tangcheng Yapin, Song Pingcun threw away the Bawang Xiu that didn't want to go into the spirit animal bag he carefully made. When he returned to the house, Liu Yiyi went to prepare a bath for him. He bought the one for 500 spirit stones. I took out the cauldron and carefully inspected the cauldron's ears, only to find that there was a small word "文" on the cauldron's ears.
Song Pingcun didn't know what this text meant, but the other party reminded him clearly that it was obviously impossible to have no purpose at all.
"Master" Liu Yiyi brought hot water from the hot spring pool, and Song Pingcun came back to his senses.
He took the hot water and said: "It seems that there is no need to stay in Suducheng for any longer. I will go to do some errands tomorrow, so it is better to continue to Chungju City."
"Okay." Liu Yiyi didn't ask any more questions. She would only follow Song Pingcun's instructions without even asking why.
Song Pingcun still had too many questions and guesses in his mind. He wanted to find someone to ask questions, but after much deliberation, he still didn't know who was more suitable.
Since it is a black market trade fair, it is not something you can easily explore. There are so many non-spiritual devices that it is not easy to arrange them precisely in Sudu City. There is actually no need to pay much attention to the forces behind the black market.
Early the next morning, Hongcui went outside the inn to buy breakfast and delivered it to the room. She informed Song Pingcun that some people from Tangcheng Yapin had arrived, and they looked like the royal family of the Su Kingdom.
Song Pingcun was not interested in these things. He planned to go to the shop of the middle-aged man named Zhang again and ask if there was anyone from the Shennong Sect in Sudu City and what the cauldron with the word "文" in it meant.
At the entrance of the inn, several people coming out from the direction of Yingyuan met. The two women walking in front were one of them the girl named Su whom they met yesterday, and the other to their surprise was the woman in the animal skin mask last night.
Although he saw each other's face in the ball last night, and the two were entangled for so long, Song Pingcun took a few more glances. After changing her attire, she looks more wealthy, but she still wears smart clothes and looks pretty. The nobility of being born in the royal family is really not pretended. It cannot be said to be elegant, but a state of domineering.
The woman in the animal skin mask obviously didn't know that the two people sitting in the lobby were the people who took the ball to the black market together last night. Without even looking at them, she went out and got on a carriage that looked like the royal family of the Su Kingdom and left.
These statuses, no matter how high they were in the world, meant nothing to Song Pingcun, so he went straight to Huixiang Hall. The store is still the same, but today there is no smell of rosemary.
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang was so frightened that he knelt down when he saw Song Pingcun come in. Someone came to say hello early this morning. The commission fee could not excite him, but made him uneasy. In all these years, he had never seen black market traders treat those who participated in the trade politely. This alone was enough to scare him.
"Get up, I have something to ask you." Seeing the other party's look, Song Pingcun knew there was no need to beat around the bush.
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang stood up, and Song Pingcun found out that his name was Zhang Cai. He went back to the Xiangtang to sell this soothing rosemary.
"Zhang Cai, I will come back to you in two months. If there is any news about the black market transactions, you can tell me then. Also, do you know if there are people from the Shennong Sect in Sudu City?" Song Pingcun simply said Finish asking the question.
"There are people from the Shennong Sect in Sudu City all year round, mainly to purchase medicinal materials. Senior, if you want to go, I will take you there." Zhang Cai replied immediately.
"That's not necessary. Just tell me an address and I'll go there myself. It's best not to let anyone know that I came to see you today." Song Pingcun was overjoyed. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Although I don’t understand why the smiling masked man in black robe hinted at him last night, since he didn’t say it directly, he probably didn’t want people to know.
After walking out of the shop, the Bawang Xiao in his sleeve quietly went up to the roof, just like a lazy cat that has been basking in the sun and lying on the roof.
According to the address provided by Zhang Cai, Song Pingcun successfully found the Shennong Sect's designated purchasing store in Sudu, took out the VIP ID tag of golden fragrant silk nanmu, and stated his purpose of visit. The other party was just a low-level disciple and didn't know much about this, so Song Pingcun left a letter addressed to Wen Wushang. Let him find an opportunity to bring it back to the Shennong Sect, and he must hand it over to Wen Wushang or Wei Suli, the chief elder of the outer hall.
After that, return to Tangcheng Yapin and call Bawang Xiu back. After learning that they had left, the woman with the animal skin mask that she met when going out also went to Huixiangtang to inquire about Song Pingcun's identity. However, it was obvious that the identity of the royal family was not much of a deterrent to practitioners of black market transactions. Zhang Cai said nothing, not to mention that Song Pingcun came in advance to explain.
This arrogant and somewhat arrogant woman obviously didn't expect to hit a soft nail and go back.
Song Pingcun originally thought he would spend some time searching for the whereabouts of the Shennong sect members. After finishing everything in the morning, he stopped delaying and was ready to leave for Zhongzhou City immediately.
Su Du was just passing by. If not for the black market transaction last night, he might have stayed for a while. Now it is obviously unnecessary.
When I was paying the bill, I heard several waiters whispering that a prince from the royal family died last night outside the city. The royal family urgently came to find the seven princesses who stayed at Yingyuan for a hot spring yesterday to find out the reason. . This kind of thing must be a big deal in the secular world, and it is normal for citizens to discuss it.
The group left the city, but they never expected to meet the seventh princess again outside the city gate. Behind a large group of people was a coffin, which obviously contained the dead prince. Song Pingcun glanced at it and it turned out to be the thin man who was clamoring at the trade fair. .
Song Pingcun and his entourage attracted the attention of the seven princesses sitting on the carriage. Although Sudu City practitioners lived among the common people, they generally respected the royal carriages and horses and would give way. But Feng Wulian who was driving didn't know this, after all, he had already left the city gate.
The spiritual energy fluctuations in Feng Wulian's body gave the seventh princess a sudden thought, but before she could react, the carriage had already passed the royal family's motorcade and was driving away.
