Tubei Village.
In September, the rice is yellow, and the villagers working in the fields at the entrance of the village chatter loudly, shouting to the crowd at Pier 12 on the other side of the river from a distance, but it still sounds lively.
But without the Su family, it feels like something is missing.
Bai Xiaofeng and Bai Kui sat at the Huo family tea table, chatting.
"As I get older, I like liveliness more and more... Why do I feel so deserted all of a sudden? Don't you think so?" Bai Kui was tall and lay down. The bamboo chair was packed to the brim.
Bai Xiaofeng took a sip of the big-leaf tea and curled her lips, "You are the older one. Don't compare me with you. I'm younger, so don't mention me by ten years."
"That's around fifty. He's an old man."
"...Why are you still here? Mr. Bai Huang?"
"I am a husband after all. Do you have a wife? A bachelor?"
"The wise will never enter the world of mortals!"
"It turns out you are a Taoist priest who practices Buddhism. I am disrespectful and disrespectful."
The two looked at each other, smiling and putting the knife.
The silver-haired Mr. Huo shook his cattail leaf fan and spoke to stop the war, "I remembered that Tianbao left the nine fragments of the magic weapon picture here before returning home and asked me to hand them over to the old man. I'll get them."
Bai Xiaofeng closed his eyes and said, "Don't take it, it's just waste paper."
He took the two fragments in the first place because he didn't want the juniors to be remembered again and again because of those things.
Nowadays, five thousand magic soldiers are all fishing in Tubei Village and having water fights every day. What else can the magic soldiers do?
Mr. Huo just pretended that he didn't hear the rejection, and brought over a torn envelope with a smile, "Nian is naughty and smeared a lot of saliva on the envelope. It looks a bit ugly, but the contents of the letter are still clean."
He photographed the envelope on Bai Xiaofeng's snow-white clothes and smiled, "Here, take it. Even though it's useless, it's good to put it together into a complete picture to appreciate."
Bai Xiaofeng's face darkened instantly, and he wanted to slap Huo Ziheng to death with one palm.
Knowing that he has mysophobia!
It was already dark when he returned to Wangque Tower from Tubei Village, and Bai Xiaofeng threw the torn envelope into the corner.
The envelope was not sealed properly and fragments slipped out.
Bai Xiaofeng stared at the fragments for a moment, clicked his tongue, leaned over to pick them up, and took out the other two fragments that had been pressed at the bottom of the box for several years, and pieced them together into a picture.
The complete treasure map, the terrain does not exist anywhere in the Central Plains Continent.
According to the bright light of the lantern in the house, it can be seen that there is a mark in the middle of the map, which is the location of the treasure.
Bai Xiaofeng lost interest after just one glance. He gathered the fragments together and put them in the incense burner. When he went back to light the incense, he casually burned the fragments together.
Tianbao and the others don't need this thing anymore. Keeping it will only arouse the greed of people who don't know what it is.
There are widespread legends about the magical weapons in the world, and it is said that there are 50,000 magical soldiers.
In fact, it is not fifty thousand, but five thousand.
It's just that no one would believe this fact even if it were told. The world would only think that the person who obtained the magic weapon deliberately created rumors to deceive people.
His fingers fiddled with the guqin at will, and a few strings of flowing sounds popped up. Bai Xiaofeng closed his eyes and was waiting to play a piece on the guqin when he suddenly heard the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air.
Yuebai Guangshu swept away the hidden weapon with a flick of his sleeve. Bai Xiaofeng opened his eyes, his snake pupils burst out with cold light, and he flew towards the black shadow that flashed outside the window.
Hearing the wind and hearing the action, he broke into the room, but the master was gone. The position of the guqin on the piano table was slightly tilted, and the night breeze blew in slowly through the open west window, bringing with it the coolness of autumn.
The Su family stayed in Yuzhou for half a month. After fulfilling their wish, they decided to return to the fiefdom in mid-September, just in time to harvest rice at home.
The night before departure, I received news from Wangque Tower that the owner was missing.
…
On the third day of October, the ship from Pier 12 arrived at the place of exile.
The clipper was on its way, shortening the journey by nearly ten days.
Fengyun City is in chaos.
Bai Kui and Huo Ziheng were both at Wangque Tower. After meeting with Tianbao and others, they immediately informed them of what they had investigated during this period.
"This is what Bai Xiaofeng found in the corner of his room on the day he disappeared. I guess someone used this thing as a hidden weapon to attack Bai Xiaofeng, because there were scratches on the wall where it fell. mark."
"After learning that the old man was missing, I ordered the area to be under martial law that night and searched the entire area. However, I was unable to find the person. No obvious signs of fighting were found inside or outside the city."
"Bai Xiaofeng's martial arts skills are not low. There are only a handful of people in the world who can defeat him. If he is attacked, he will fight to the death with his temperament. There is no way there will be no suspicious traces at all."
"It's impossible for someone to poison him and make him faint. He has all kinds of antidote pills and anti-poison pills stuffed into him by the poisonous old man!"
Bai Kui finished speaking in one breath, his face extremely solemn.
Huo Ziheng also frowned, "From the investigation, I have a guess, but I'm not sure-"
Tianbao pursed his lips, "Master, you suspect that your godfather was not taken away by others, but that he followed others."
Huo Ziheng's brows relaxed and he nodded, "This is the only way to explain it."
"In this case, the only clue we have is this silver hairpin." Bai Yu took the Haitang silver hairpin, twisted it in his hand and looked at it carefully. The hairpin is very ordinary and can be seen everywhere on the street.
In other words, this clue is equivalent to no clue.
"Wait a minute." The old man's nose twitched, and then he came closer to the hairpin and smelled it carefully, "There is a residual fragrance on the hairpin... It's purple gardenia, no... it's the fragrance of snow mist flowers!"
"Grandpa Du, what's the snow mist flower?" Tianbao frowned. She had never heard of such a flower.
"Snow mist is a unique flower in the outer world. It doesn't grow in the Central Plains! If grandpa hadn't been well-informed, I'm afraid no one would have recognized it!"
"Didn't you lose your memory?"
"Grandpa is a poisoner. It is already instinctive to recognize things by smelling them. It has nothing to do with memory! But I can only recognize this, and there is no more. But the outer world is very big. Where can we find Bai Xiaofeng?" Poison? The old man's eyebrows were droopy, his lips were tense, and he walked around in circles subconsciously, "Your godfather loves to be clean, has a bright vision, a poisonous mouth, and a lot of bad habits... If he is really taken away by bad guys, human beings If you can't stand it anymore, you have to beat him every day! What to do? You are so old and you don't know how to leave more clues. It is not easy to be a prisoner. You don't get good food or sleep... Grandpa is so angry!"
Tianbao and Bai Yu looked at each other and remembered something at the same time, "Wolf Claw Totem!"
The totem drawn in Yan Changkong’s last letter!
Bai Kui didn't think of the past for a moment and wondered, "What wolf claw totem?"
Huo Ziheng had a different reaction, more surprised and shocked, "Wolf Claw Totem? Is it related to other countries?"
"No, this time it's really outland."
