Han Xiaosheng started to practice the Black Water Art, his heart was so happy that he couldn't help but let out a loud roar.
Hearing the knock on the door outside, he realized that he had gotten carried away and disturbed Liu Daneng's family.
When I opened the door, I saw Wang Xiaoyu and two children standing outside the door. Wang Xiaoyu was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Wang Xiaoyu looked around the room and found nothing unusual, so she asked a little strangely:
"Brother Han, what happened to you just now? I thought there was a burglar in your house."
Han Xiaosheng felt ashamed and explained:
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I made a breakthrough in my cultivation. I was so happy that I got carried away for a moment and shocked you and the child."
Thinking of this, he turned around and went into the house, taking out some food from his bag and giving it to the two children to compensate for their frightened hearts.
Seeing the two children jumping out, Wang Xiaoyu asked him:
"Did you break through?"
"Yes, according to the description of the technique, I should have achieved a breakthrough, but I still need to go to Baibao Pavilion to see Mr. Feng for confirmation."
Wang Xiaoyu beamed with joy and congratulated him repeatedly.
Han Xiaosheng was humble for a while, and Wang Xiaoyu left to go to work.
Han Xiaosheng thought for a moment and took out some dry food to fill his stomach, because he missed lunch again and there was still two hours left before dinner.
After feeling no longer hungry, he changed his clothes and went out, preparing to go to Baibao Pavilion to find Old Man Feng.
Walking on the street, he felt a tense atmosphere, a feeling that a storm was about to come.
The business of the stores on both sides of the street was not very good, there were few people buying things, and the store doors were half-covered. When they saw Han Xiaosheng walking by, the store owner did not say hello as usual, but focused on the direction of the road at the other end of the street.
Han Xiaosheng looked in the direction of the road. There was no one on the road, and it was deserted. Thinking of the horse thieves mentioned by Wang Xiaoyu before, he realized that he was most likely worried about the horse thieves coming.
Thinking of the horse thieves, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
When passing by an alley, he glanced at the alley and found a familiar figure walking deeper into the alley with his head lowered.
Although he had left the alley behind him, he still thought about that figure in his mind. After getting started in Qi refining, he had a very mysterious feeling, and he would be sensitive to things related to him. His intuition told him , that person is related to him.
Recalling the people he met after arriving in Longmen Town, he rejected each figure. Finally, a figure overlapped with the back figure. Although the person bent over deliberately, the temperament of a ruffian was exactly the same.
He quickly turned back and took out a hat and a mask from his bag. After putting them on, he had returned to the entrance of the alley.
He leaned against the wall at the entrance of the alley and carefully looked around the alley. He could no longer see the figure.
He stepped lightly and walked towards the depths of the alley pretending to be casual. As he walked, he used the corner of his eye to look around at the situation.
When approaching a T-junction, he slowed down because there was water on the ground here, and there was a line of wet footprints ahead leading to the turn.
Han Xiaosheng carefully avoided the water, and quickly approached the corner. After sticking to the corner, he listened for a while and found no movement. When he looked around, the wet footprints disappeared at the door of a small courtyard in front, and the door was closed.
As he approached the gate, he heard voices in the yard. The voices were not loud and could not be heard clearly. He walked around the yard and found that the yard had its own gate and was surrounded by open spaces. There was only one big tree outside the wall.
After thinking about it, he took out a pair of gauze gloves and put them on, put his hiking bag under the tree, and started climbing the tree.
Although he had not climbed a tree for many years, fortunately, his physical strength had improved significantly in the past six months, and with the tree-climbing skills he had developed as a child, he soon climbed to the top of the tree. Listening to the movement in the yard, he quietly Stand up and stick your head out to observe.
From the field of view, this is a grand courtyard. It is very wide and seems to be unkempt. It is overgrown with weeds. There are many houses in the courtyard. They are almost built in a circle along the wall. There is a flat land in the middle, and two people are leveling the land. Central spoke quietly.
Han Xiaosheng recognized one of them at a glance. It was Mr. Shi who had ridiculed him that day. He really didn't know his specific name.
Opposite him was a strange young man whom he had never met before. He had a good appearance and a folding fan in his hand. He fanned himself from time to time. Even though the weather was not hot, it was obvious that he was a very elegant person.
The two of them were a bit far away, so they couldn't hear clearly and couldn't see their expressions.
Han Xiaosheng couldn't hear what they were saying and was worried. Fortunately, the two talked for a while and walked towards Han Xiaosheng. He couldn't help but feel happy and hid behind the wall to listen.
After a while, I heard the strange young man's voice:
"You must keep this matter a secret. Once it is leaked, you will know the consequences. Once you find out about their plan, fly a pigeon to tell me immediately. After it is completed, it will be your benefit and your strength will be greatly improved. "
Mr. Shi's voice came, full of flattery:
"Thank you, Third Master, I will definitely..."
Before he finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by the strange young man:
"I told you not to call the third master anymore, call me Brother Zhang. I am a salesman here to sell things. Do you want to kill me? Or are you too impatient to live? Once the news is leaked, I can run away. You But it’s going to end with someone’s head on the ground.”
Master Shi's frightened voice came.
"I remember, I just made a mistake."
The strange young man's voice began to grow smaller.
"Okay, be sure to pay attention. I still have something to do over there. I'm going back first. Remember to pass the message to me, and don't forget to keep it secret. You can only enjoy the treasures of heaven, materials and earth if you are alive."
The two voices became smaller and smaller, and the strange young man began to walk towards the door of the courtyard, opened the door and left.
After Master Shi closed the door, he came back and cursed with dissatisfaction:
"What the hell, isn't it just a bandit? It's been put on the map. If my father hadn't wanted to use your strength to oust the old mayor of the town, we wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you. Horse thieves only have such limited vision. I The Shi family has someone close to them in the county, but if the matter is leaked, the worst case scenario is that they will go back to the county. Who dares to touch me? Although I am only a branch disciple, the main line is the behemoth of the county."
After scolding for a while, Mr. Shi felt happy and said to himself:
"On the other hand, that bastard, a useless practitioner, dared to contradict me and prevented me from getting off the stage. I must kill him as soon as possible. It's a pity that he has been hiding in Liu Daneng's house these days and does not go out. It allows him to live a few more days to wait for the horse thieves. As soon as I come, I will be the first to ask him to live or die, so that he can know the majesty of my master Shi."
Han Xiaosheng was secretly shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be such a small-minded person. He insulted her, and she just retorted a few words. He actually tried every means to kill himself. He was such a vicious and arrogant person. He must have done it many times before. This kind of thing.
Thinking of this, the anger in his chest was a little uncontrollable, and his blood was boiling, and he wanted to go down and kill this vicious villain.
Thinking of the height of the wall, he suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to listen.
But Mr. Shi entered a room and never came out again.
