Qingfeng Town, in a house called "Shanghe Bookstore" in the west of the town, it was already noon, but there were no people in the bookstore. The shopkeeper, who was just an entry-level monk, was also happy to relax and was in his own room. He was practicing cross-legged at the counter.
In the whole room, there was only a thin figure standing quietly in the corner. All kinds of ancient books piled up beside him, but the shop owner didn't say anything to stop him. After all, the books in the bookstore were not his. , he is just responsible for looking after the store. As long as the books are not damaged, customers can read them as long as they like. Bookstores in the mortal world are almost like this. If they want to take them home to read, they will naturally buy them. Cultivators attach great importance to face, and they also Don't commit the act of stealing books.
Not to mention, this store manager, who is just an entry-level monk, can sense the extremely powerful cultivation level of the customer. I am afraid that he is at least an existence above the immortal level, which is not something that a small character like him can afford to offend.
It's just a strange thing that such a being would come to the bookstore to look through books.
Although there are many cultivators in Qingfeng Town, those with immortal level cultivation can basically be regarded as a big boss. Even if there is a need to consult some ancient books that are not included in the jade slips, very few people will come in person. , From this point, it can be seen that this person is probably not a local.
At this moment, with a "crash" sound, the wooden door of the study room was pushed open, and a handsome man in ordinary clothes walked in. His eyes swept around and quickly landed on the man in the corner. On that thin figure.
Seeing a customer coming, the shop owner quickly opened his eyes to investigate, but this investigation made him feel a little confused. This turned out to be another immortal-level senior, how come he rarely encounters him on weekdays? There is one person, but two people came at once today? What do these people come to the bookstore for?
The person who came in later was naturally Ye Qingcheng. After changing the uniforms of the Luo Yun Peak disciples, it was difficult to recognize the identity of the Shushan disciples. He took off the blindfold in order not to attract other people's attention. , although he also hesitated whether to continue wearing Ye Sanlang's mask. However, when he thought of his previous decision in Xiao Xumi Cave Heaven, he gave up. He swore at that time that he would not change back to Ye Sanlang unless he had to. Ye Qingcheng was Ye Qingcheng. If he stayed How can we move forward while remembering the past?
The thin young man in the corner, although he had changed into ordinary clothes, he could see that this guy was no ordinary guy. Moreover, he even felt a hint of threat in this man, which was quite... It's rare. Ever since he entered the Tao of Cultivation, he has rarely felt threatened by others, especially if the other person has a cultivation level very similar to his own. This is even more incredible. Logically speaking, today's Ye Qingcheng can sweep through All the immortal-level cultivators, but the person in front of him was an accident.
Even though he noticed Ye Qingcheng's unkind gaze, the thin man still stood there and continued to flip through the book in his hand, seeming to be addicted to it, which made Ye Qingcheng suddenly curious.
He looked at the cover of the book carefully and saw the title "A Complete Collection of Legends of Jiangnan Monsters".
A complete collection of Jiangnan monster legends? Why is this person looking at this kind of thing...
His eyes glanced at the pile of books piled next to this person, which were similar to the one in his hand. Most of them were ancient books within the area where Qingfeng Town was located, and some of them were written by mortals. There are also books written by cultivators, which seem a bit mixed, indicating that he did not select them, but directly read through an entire category of books.
However, through the title of this book, it also connected some scattered clues in Ye Qingcheng's mind, allowing him to make some bold conjectures.
However, that was what happened later, and now an unbelievable fact was before his eyes, that is, this person was probably a disciple from various major sects like him, and this person had actually already walked in the In front of him, the other detective's decryption level was higher than his.
Although the other party probably came to Qingfeng Town earlier than him and was able to find out to the current extent, it at least shows that the other party has this ability and may be able to solve the Qingfeng Town incident earlier than him. In particular, he sensed a hint of threat from the other party, indicating that the other party had no less strength than him. Although it was impossible for him to possess two Xuantian Spiritual Treasures like him, at least to the extent that the two spiritual treasures were put aside, the other party might It's above him.
Interestingly... this was the first time he met such a person.
So which sect is this person a disciple of? Judging from his progress, I am afraid that he has not arrived in Qingfeng Town long ago but has just arrived recently, and there is only one such sect force, and that is the Great Guangming Palace.
Moreover, except for the Great Guangming Palace, which disciple of any sect can have such a person?
However, the sunny and kind face of the other party and the thin figure made it difficult for him to connect it with the disciples of the Great Guangming Palace. So far, almost all the disciples of the Great Guangming Palace he had met were evil and abnormal. Kind of, or rather murderous, practicing evil skills and secrets.
Could this kind of character who is like the big brother next door be a disciple of the Great Guangming Palace? It’s really hard to say for sure, even in Shushan there may be the aforementioned murderous people or those who practice evil arts. Can’t the Great Guangming Palace produce good people? sure.
Just when he was staring at the other person and sizing him up so hard that the shop owner didn't dare to express his anger, for fear that the two of them would fight in his shop and destroy it, the thin man suddenly put down his book and faced Ye Qingcheng. He showed a sunny smile and said: "This junior brother from Shushan, does he have a problem with me?"
Ye Qingcheng was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "How does this senior brother know that I am a disciple of Shushan?"
"Haha, junior brother seems to be a person who is good at investigating crimes, otherwise he would not have found this store. I just came a few days earlier than you. Junior brother, don't be surprised. The reason why I found out that you are a disciple of Shushan is It's because your eyes reveal a sense of Haotian's righteousness, and you are clearly a disciple of the Righteous Path. In addition, your body is filled with sword energy. Among the Righteous Path, only Shushan disciples meet these characteristics. I just learned from my disciple today. Brothers and sisters, I heard that some Shushan disciples also came to Qingfeng Town, but I didn’t expect you to find out here so quickly.”
