The hills are high and low, interconnected in layers, and the trees scattered randomly block the view, making the hills appear deep and mysterious.
In the hidden place, two women were thrown down. The man in black robe was weak and bent to his knees, out of breath. His face was covered with black air, but his face was still clear. The two women had long recognized that it was Qingshan Su.
Chen Bingbing said in disbelief: "Uncle-Master, is it really you?"
Luo Lan's eyes were dark, and she realized that her entire body was sealed, and the sealing technique was so clever that she couldn't even use her normal strength, and it felt like she was struggling to speak.
Qingshan Su ignored them and sat cross-legged, using his energy to drive away poison.
The poisonous gas filled the air, turning the vegetation in the surrounding area gray, and then dispersed into ashes.
A slight poisonous gas floated over, and black gas also appeared on the two women's bodies, causing them to faint.
When they woke up again, it was already late at night, and the two women were even weaker, but the poisonous gas in their bodies had been relieved.
Chen Bingbing reluctantly stood up. Luo Lan subconsciously turned around and saw Qingshan Su next to him.
Although he was not wearing the hood, he was still wearing a black robe, and there was still some black air on his body that was difficult to dispel. His whole person seemed to blend with the night, full of dangerous aura.
Luo Lan had a vague guess in her heart. This guess made her feel cold. She couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Master, why did you do this?"
Qingshan Su looked sideways and said solemnly: "You will understand in the future."
Luo Lan shook his head and said, "I don't understand."
Qingshan Su smiled and said: "You still have a long way to go. You don't understand it now, and maybe you don't want to understand it. When you get to my time, you won't even be able to understand it."
Lorraine shook his head, finding it difficult to accept.
Chen Bingbing said with caution: "Uncle Master, what do you want?"
"I won't do anything to you, otherwise I wouldn't have cared about you just now. But now that you know my whereabouts, I will definitely not let you go before I achieve my goal. You will stay with me during this period. Bar."
Seeing the reluctance and resistance on the faces of the two women, Qingshan Su smiled and said: "I can't wrong you. Although my skills are different from yours, I can still help you solve some problems in your practice. As long as I give you a little guidance." Second, it will definitely save you from taking many detours in your practice. Others don’t have such an opportunity, but you don’t want it.”
Chen Bingbing looked happy and said, "Thank you, great uncle."
Luo Lan was aside and said nothing.
…
…
Yueling Inn.
In the secluded courtyard, surrounded by dead butterflies, Zhao Yueling and Bai Xiong sat opposite each other in the pavilion, both of them looking somewhat thoughtful.
Zhao Yueling asked: "Uncle Bai, did the man named Lu really leave?"
Bai Xiong nodded and said: "Our spy saw the city gate where he left and went west, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he did not continue to follow. He just guarded the four city gates and passed the news first."
Zhao Yueling snorted coldly: "That guy surnamed Lu is very clever. I'm afraid he already knows about the existence of our spy even before he leaves the city gate. There may even be his spy in our inn. This guy leaves the city." The door is going west, I'm afraid it's just an appearance, in fact he may not actually go west."
Bai Xiong pondered: "But it's also possible that the suspicion has been raised. He guessed our thoughts correctly, and maybe he really went west."
Zhao Yueling was distressed when he heard this: "That guy is very cunning. This kind of thing is really possible."
Zhao Yueling knocked on the table, frowning and thinking, but he couldn't figure out what Lu Yan was thinking. He gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Bai, pack your things, let's go west too."
Bai Xiong was stunned for a moment and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Miss, is this appropriate?"
Zhao Yueling shook his head and said: "That guy has been ahead of me time and time again. This time he may have found some clues that I don't know about. We have been guarding Zhiming City for three years and haven't found anything about that place yet, but this time Each sect has sent elite disciples here one after another. I am afraid that they have noticed some inside stories and know that there are more and more uninvited guests in Ming City. If time goes by, it will be detrimental to us, so we cannot fight without fighting."
Bai Xiong still found it difficult to understand, and said: "Since you want to fight, you shouldn't walk away easily. What if..."
"Uncle Bai, don't you understand?" Zhao Yueling waved his hand to stop Bai Xiong's words, "The person named Lu and I are here for the same purpose. If the person named Lu finds out, I will go and fight for it." Fight."
"Then what if Hall Master Lu doesn't find out?"
"If he didn't leave because he found out..." Zhao Yueling was silent, a bit angry, "He can give up, why should I be so persistent? Am I not as good as him in terms of character?"
Bai Xiong opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything else. It was just that he couldn't understand. What does this kind of angry behavior have to do with the mind?
"Uncle Bai, I leave this place to you."
Bai Xiong said quickly: "I'll go with you."
"No!" Zhao Yueling flatly refused, "The man named Lu left alone, and I took you with me. It makes people think that I am not as good as him because I am afraid of him. I will go alone!"
Bai Xiong couldn't help but feel helpless and eager. Although what Zhao Yueling said was very reasonable, he knew this child too well. In terms of alertness and flexible response, she was far behind Lu Yan.
But after Zhao Yueling took a few steps, he suddenly stopped again, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly turned around: "Uncle Bai."
"Miss."
Bai Xiong thought Zhao Yueling was going to change his mind, so Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come with me to meet Mr. Liu."
Shiro's eyes widened.
However, Zhao Yueling left immediately and took the lead. Bai Xiong quickly followed her.
In the dead of night, the moonlight falls like a waterfall.
The rooms at Yueling Inn are not as many as Duolai Inn, but they are much more spacious than Duolai Inn. Four or five people can fit into a first-class room.
Liu Zhen, He Jietong, and Lin Ming sat around the table, and He Jietong sorted out the information he had collected.
He came down the mountain with Zhong Ding's mission. Although he was looking for someone, the task was not as simple as he imagined. Zhong Ding would not put his hope in He Jietong's trip down the mountain to find someone by blindly searching for a while. The manpower that should be equipped and the conditions that should be prepared have been prepared for him, and the manpower and material resources can be used by him.
The news at Du Lai Inn cannot be hidden from the various forces in Zhiming City. All the informants have already passed on the collected information, and the spies of Qingyang Gate are no exception.
After learning what happened at Du Lai Inn, several people were a little worried, because according to the spies' report, several suspected fellow travelers had checked into that inn earlier, both men and women.
Liu Zhen gently stroked the sword in his hand and said softly: "He should be fine."
Neither He Jietong nor Lin Ming answered. They both knew who Liu Zhen was talking about.
The intelligence network of Qingqingyangmen can obtain information in a timely manner, but it is still not comprehensive enough. Except for a few people in the inn and the parties involved at the time, only a few people in the inn and the parties involved at the time knew about it. Therefore, no matter how comprehensive the information collected is, it cannot touch the most fundamental points, which results in an information asymmetry.
Not only the intelligence network of Qingyang Gate was like this, but the people at Yueling Inn didn't know much. Because of this, Zhao Yueling became a little confused and slightly impulsive after learning that Lu Yan left Zhiming City.
At this time, while looking through the collected information, He Jietong frowned.
Although the information is not comprehensive enough, many things can still be learned through the information. What's more, the pile of information in front of him is not just about the Zhuangzi who came to the inn. He Jietong discovered that there was a mixture of fish and dragons in Zhiming City. The entire immortal cultivator except the mysterious Kunlun was not the only one. Mountain, people from almost all sects gathered here, as if by appointment.
He Jietong was about to tell what he had discovered when he heard Bai Xiong's voice coming from outside the door.
"Mr. Liu, please come out and see me."
Liu Zhen stood up almost without thinking, but was stopped by He Jietong. Before going out, it was better to be more careful and cautious. He asked Lin Ming to be on guard, and then slowly walked to the door.
"But Senior Bai?"
Before Bai Xiong could answer, he heard the sound of the door opening, but Liu Zhen's door was closed tightly, and there was no sign of coming out. Instead, Chen Yong, Ma Biao, and Liu Tangtang who were accompanying him came out without any precautions.
