The bookstore was closed at this time, and there were no lights inside, but there were many people gathered. They turned their heads in unison, their eyes full of vigilance, staring at the man in black robe who suddenly opened the door and walked in.
Aoyamasu did not carry a hood this time, perhaps because this made people feel a little more reassured, but he still felt full of vigilance.
Qingshan Su slowly stretched out his right hand, and his energy was released from his palm, and a complex rune appeared.
The moment they saw the rune, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and relax.
An old man came up to see the gift and said, "Did you deliver a message earlier?"
Qingshan Su nodded.
In order to avoid trouble due to misunderstanding, before coming here, Qingshan Su used the Qingyang Gate's contact method with these spies, asking them to open the entrance and exit of the stronghold and wait there. At the same time, in order to save time, he also asked them Send me all the information from this period.
These people are either old and have white beards and hair, or they are young and dressed casually.
Unsurprisingly, they are all the kind of people with extremely poor qualifications for cultivating immortals. Some even have no qualifications for cultivating immortals at all. They just have to be taught some ordinary cultivation methods by the Qingyang Sect and then master one or two extraordinary methods to facilitate doing things for the Qingyang Sect in the human world. But the things they do are all trivial. If the immortal cultivators really need help, these people can't count on them.
However, having such a group of people is very convenient for people from sects to walk in the world. It is not just the Qingyang Sect, but also all sects and sects. Perhaps the only exception is the Kunlun Mountain.
Qingshan Su turned over the information on the table. He only glanced at a lot of information that was extremely precious to these people. However, because the amount of information was quite large, some of it caught his attention after all.
"A member of the Demon Sect?" Qingshansu raised his head and stared at the old man who was pouring him tea.
The old man nodded quickly and said: "Yes, sir, as far as we know, the two largest inns in Zhiming City, Nadu Lai Inn and Yueling Inn, are both properties of the Demon Sect."
Thinking of the big loss he suffered at Nadu Lai Inn, Qingshan Su's breathing became heavy, and he felt a dull pain in the wound, and the toxins in his body seemed to be active again.
Demonic Cult!
There are many experts in the Demon Sect, but compared with other sects of cultivating immortals, the forces in the Demon Sect are much more complex. Moreover, they do not have a mountain sect address, but their people are distributed in various places, walks of life, and industries. It is said that there are all three religions and nine streams, and there are many people who are crowing, dogs, and thieves. It is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and it is very chaotic. However, although such a chaotic force has small chaos, it has never had any major problems, and it continues to this day. I'm afraid it's not that simple.
It's not unusual for the Demon Sect to have property in Zhiming City, but the two largest inns in the small Zhiming City are actually owned by the Demon Sect, which makes Qingshan Su pay attention.
"Do you know who is in charge of the two inns?"
The old man hurriedly said: "The person in charge of Yueling Inn has never appeared in front of anyone, and even if he stayed at the inn, he would not see anyone, so he doesn't know yet. But it is a bit strange that everyone comes to the inn. It seems that the person who can make the decision is not the shopkeeper there, but A waiter in a shop, young, and always yin and yang, with a sinister look on his face."
The yin and yang are strange, and the evil eyebrows and rat eyes...
Qingshan Su felt a little better. He felt that these two sentences were not very appropriate, but because he thought of Lu Yan, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"According to the information we gathered, the waiter who came to the inn just left the city not long ago and seems to have gone west." A young man said softly to the side.
"Going to the west?" Qingshansu's eyes flashed.
The old man glared at the young man fiercely and said quickly: "Yes, the villain is about to tell sir about this."
Qingshansu pondered, looked at the young man and asked: "Where can I get to Zhiming City if I go west?"
But the old man did not give the young man a chance to speak, and rushed to answer: "Thirty miles west of Zhiming City, there is a deserted village called Luojia Village. It used to be a fertile land. However, it was attacked by bandits three years ago and was washed clean with blood. Jing, it’s all deserted now, and legend has it that it’s still haunted.”
As he spoke, he carefully paid attention to Qingshan Su's reaction, and found that he was indeed the immortal master on the mountain. He didn't react at all when he heard about the hauntings. If it were him, he would have shuddered a few times.
The young man gritted his teeth and suddenly took a step forward and said: "Immortal Master Rong Cun, the girl you asked us to look for has also gone west with her companions."
The old man glared at the young man, but the young man just looked at Qingshan Su with fear.
Qingshan Su smiled after hearing this, and then slowly turned his eyes to look at the old man.
The old man trembled and said quickly: "Sir... the immortal master is here, and I am also planning to report to you."
"Are you the person in charge here?" Qingshan Su asked.
The old man nodded repeatedly.
"You are getting older and your memory is not good. You should go home and take care of yourself." Qingshan Su said and looked at the young man, "What is your name?"
"Little man Shanzi."
"Shanzi, it's a simple name." Qingshansu's consciousness swept over Shanzi and found that he had no qualifications for cultivating immortals at all. However, his aura was long and the power of his meridians surged, so he knew he was a practitioner of foreign martial arts. And he was very successful. He nodded and said, "You will be in charge of this place from now on."
Shan Zi was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Master Immortal."
The others also knelt down quickly. When they looked up, they realized that Qingshan Su had left and was no longer here.
Others stood up one after another, but Shanzi knelt for a while before slowly standing up.
Looking at the ashen-faced old man, Shanzi felt elated, thinking that he had made the right bet just now, and now he was in the spotlight. Thinking of his new wife who accompanied him through hardships and hardships every day, he finally had the confidence to be able to support his family. Now, he has to discuss with his wife after returning home to have more children while they are young. Anyway, he can support no matter how many people there are now.
"To the west..."
Qingshan Suyu was walking in the sky, like a black meteor, speeding in the night sky.
Not only Lu Yan, Xu Mushan and others, he found out from the information he gathered that recently there were many unidentified people in Ming City, and they were also leaving the city one after another and heading to the west.
What is there to the west?
…
…
Gu Chen just rested for a while and walked out when the sky was dark.
The moon was still in the sky, but there was dawn in the east.
In the past on Kunlun Mountain, he had often seen such scenery, and at that time he stood higher and had a more comprehensive view. He had long been accustomed to such spectacular scenes, but it had never shocked him as much as this time.
I saw that under the light, the sky was dyed with a touch of white and a touch of red. The slight light gave the deserted village and the graves a sad and beautiful flavor, especially in the darkness where a few black shadows scattered and erratic, sometimes even revealing clear The appearance of the figure made Gu Chen unable to calm down for a long time.
Among the graves in this deserted village, Luo Cheng stood quietly among the graves.
There were no names on those graves, and it was impossible to tell who belonged to which grave. Gu Chen was not sure if Luo Cheng knew, because Luo Cheng's eyes were unfocused and he didn't know where he was looking.
Gu Chen walked over slowly.
There was silence for a while until the sun rose and the morning light shone brightly.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?" Luo Cheng suddenly broke the calm.
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "You will say it when you want to say it."
Luo Cheng's hands trembled and he remained silent.
The past is heavy, and some things are not unspeakable, but I just don’t want to say them. Saying them will not make you feel better, but will make the long-lasting wounds deeper and bigger.
Gu Chen accompanied Luo Cheng silently, just as he said, without asking any more questions. When Luo Cheng wanted to say what he wanted to say, he would naturally say it.
If it were anyone else, he might not be able to bear his curiosity, and would make insinuations even if he couldn't ask directly. But since Gu Chen said he wouldn't ask, he really didn't ask. And precisely because of Gu Chen's behavior, It made Luo Cheng feel much better.
There are so many differences between people.
When the sky breaks out, those wandering ghosts disperse. Although the yin energy in this area is still very heavy, it will not be so uncomfortable.
The ghosts have dispersed, but there are still a few foxes hiding in the shadow of the tomb, full of spirituality.
Gu Chen pointed at the ground, and a few pieces of gravel immediately flew up towards the foxes.
Several foxes were startled and fled in all directions.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng shook his head and said: "Leave them alone, at least they have a place to go."
Gu Chen no longer controlled the stones, and saw the stones falling to the ground with a loud sound, but it seemed that the area was even quieter.
