Wu Zhen was also a leader in his family. In the past three years, he had found clues to the secrets of Shuiying City from countless legends, which was impressive to think about. He then told everyone the opinions of the couple after classifying and summarizing. Wu Zhen believed that Supaozi was not in Shuiying City. It had traveled around the world for many years, bringing destined people back to Shuiying City. He lived in Shuiying City for three years. He got in touch with several other humans and got help. He paid special attention to the number of residents in Shuiying City and the origins of the new residents. Some races were not easy to deal with, and Wu Zhen also spent a lot of time. However, what is disappointing is that in three or even ten years, no special creatures have moved into Shuiying City, and as the latest batch of human residents in Shuiying City, they have never received Supaozi's guidance. invite.
So Zhan Fanzi also believes that Su Paozi did not really bring the destined person back to Shuiying City, but brought back the story related to the destined person, just like the swordsman, maybe Su Paozi put away the sword but let him go Leaving or killing him, he just passed down a few stories of the swordsman in Shuiying City. Think about there are so many stories in Shuiying City, how could it be possible to bring back the protagonist of each story. And Supaozi is not really a person. There may be more than one, there may be thousands of them distributed, and there will be Supaozi in the city. The function is to ensure the spread of the story. Even if you find one Supaozi, you may find it. secret.
But how to find the plain robe, everyone has no idea.
After some discussion, everyone decided to stay in Shuiying City for a while. After lunch, Fang Tianmu and Huzi followed Wu Zhen to a private workshop of the beast tribe. This was also their source of income here. In fact, it was physical work that required cultivation skills, and the personnel were not fixed. As long as Anyone who wants to make money can do something. Kite and Du Xiaoyue followed Zhan Fanzi to the washing room, while Wangxiang stayed outside the washing room. It was not a laundry or the like, but a place specializing in making exquisite decorations. Human beings She was very skillful with her hands. Almost all the female relatives of the seven or eight human households worked there. Except for the "robbers" that Mu Ziyun met at the beginning, all the other creatures in Shuiying City were very friendly.
Mu Ziyun, Ling Dang, Zhuan Wangxu, and Zhuan Wangdong went to the city to listen to stories together. Unexpectedly, the most impatient one among them was Mu Ziyun. The domineering Zhuan Wangxu showed great interest in those ancient myths and legends. Interested, Mu Ziyun couldn't stand it anymore after listening to it for three hours. He ran to a quiet place and digested the more than fifty stories he had heard. Most of these stories were too far away and had nothing to do with Shuiying City itself. There is no connection at all, and the background world of many stories is very different from Mu Ziyun's world view. It's okay to listen to it for fun. If you want to explore something, there is no way to go.
After a while, Lingdang came over, sat down next to her, and rested her head on Mu Ziyun's shoulder. Mu Ziyun said, "I said, in fact, all we need to do is find that plain robe. Didn't Brother Zhen have been asking about it for three years? Let's go directly Wouldn’t it be nice to make good use of what he gained and continue? There’s no point in asking again now.”
Lingdang replied with a smile: "Ask a question about plain robes, and all kinds of robes came out. I heard all the messy robe stories, and there was nothing the same. I couldn't even get distracted."
After a long time, Zhuan Wangxu and Zhuan Wangxu were not far away, leaning against the wall quietly, closing their eyes and concentrating, not knowing what they were thinking. Then Zhuan Wangdong came over and said, "I have listened to more than four hundred stories. No useful parts found.”
"More than four hundred?" The two were stunned and asked him how he did it. It turns out that Zhuan Wangdong's mental power can directly penetrate into the other person's mind. Not only that, his memory ability has also been greatly improved. He can listen to four or five people telling different stories at the same time, and Zhuan Wangdong's energy can be concentrated to the level of 20 for ordinary people. Multiple times.
"At this rate," Zhuan Wangdong said, "I can hear the same number of stories as Brother Zhen and his wife in a few months."
"You are really a talent!" Mu Ziyun sighed with a smile. But in an instant, a gleam of light flashed across Mu Ziyun's mind. He was stunned, then suddenly stood up and ran to the corner of the white wall on one side. The path was not long, and there was only one creature from the Wuling tribe who walked with his back to everyone. Far.
Zhuan Wangdong asked him what he had found. Mu Ziyun frowned and said, "Just now, in a trance, I seemed to see someone wearing a robe walking past."
"It's impossible," Zhuan Wangdong said, "If there is, I will be able to detect it immediately."
Mu Ziyun patted his forehead and said, "I really want to see it." Then he walked back and said, "You guys think, if that thing really exists, why does it lead every living being to Shuiying City? Every day There won’t necessarily be too many people passing by here.”
"I want to get the story." Zhuan Wangxu suddenly replied, surprising everyone including Zhuan Wangdong. Zhuan Wangxu continued: "I listen to stories with different emphasis. I usually ask them who told him this story, and who passed it on to the person who told it. The total number of residents here is only four hundred households, and no one has A brain that can remember all the stories, but why are there always new stories appearing, and every day can be different? People from outside can’t bring many stories, and people inside can’t do it unless they come out, so Su Paozi What it brings is not a living being, but stories. It is in Shuiying City every day and outside Shuiying City every day. Either it is not one, or it can teleport back to Shuiying City anytime and anywhere. The source of every new story must be Supaozi, or something related to Supaozi, so there is no need to listen to the story, just ask who told it the story."
Several people were silent for a while, each looking at Zhuan Wangxu strangely. Soon after, Mu Ziyun spat, shrugged his shoulders, and then walked towards the residence. When passing Zhuan Wangxu, he said: "This is Didn't you tell me earlier?"
Everyone's eyebrows suddenly widened. Thanks to Zhuan Wangxu, a few people no longer listened to stories. As long as there was a creature telling a story, they would ask him who the creature was who told him the story, and then search upwards layer by layer. , as long as you work in this direction, you will find that the problem suddenly becomes simple and clear, and the answer becomes increasingly clear.
Half a day later, everyone returned to Wu Zhen's house. Wu Zhen and his wife originally did not have any hope for the results of everyone's inquiries today, because they had been exploring the story non-stop for the past three years, and all they had gained was "a scoop." As soon as everyone sat down, Lingdang couldn't wait to say happily: "We have discovered it again."
"Oh?" Wu Zhen said happily, "Is there another story related to Shuiying City?"
"No, we may have found the plain robe." Ling Ding replied.
"Ah?" Wu Zhen even stretched his nostrils and jumped up from his seat: "Seriously? Where is it?"
"Maybe in this city, and moving around."
Several people quickly asked Lingdang to explain, and Lingdang told them about their experiences in half a day. They found the source of more than 20 stories. There were more than 400 households in the whole city, and different creatures were very friendly and cooperative. , so things progressed quickly and smoothly, and as expected, clues were discovered, because all the stories traced back to the source almost all have the same ending. The earliest creature who told the neighbor the story either couldn't remember who told him the story. Or it could be said to be spoken by a creature that has never been seen before, and what is regrettable is that the "source" that all creatures do not recognize is human beings, because it uses human language and uses all kinds of words without exception. There are many ways to cover the face and even the body. Some are robes, some are raincoats, some are strange rags, some are simply airtight and heavy clothes, and some even use a bunch of flowers to cover their heads and talk through things. The story came out, and then he left quickly. If he wanted to see it, he had already disappeared.
Wu Zhen patted the table five or six times in a row, his mouth trembling all the time, and regretted: "Oh my god, I did some blind work, thousands of stories, when should I hear them, why can't I think of them? Three years..."
Mu Ziyun said: "Now we can confirm that Supaozi or one of Supaozi is in Shuiying City. We have to think of some way to get him out."
The next day, everyone gave up work and went out to look for the source of the story. Today, they found that not all the sources were. The storyteller had his face covered, and some could show his face. Most of them were in their thirties or forties. He looks like a man, because every creature is telling and listening to stories on weekdays, so everyone doesn't pay much attention to the source of the story. Those situations where the face was covered only occurred every few days. Some creatures recalled that the human beings who told stories were panting at that time, as if they had just rushed back from the outside.
Everyone returned to the table, feeling that they were getting closer and closer to the secret. The discussion was heated and they were thinking about how to catch the guy. Unexpectedly, Zhuan Wangxu, who had found his own way last time, suddenly coughed again. Everyone became quiet and turned their attention to him. Zhuan Wangxu enjoyed the feeling of being focused on and looked up at him. He held his head high and looked at Wu Zhen with his hands He said majestically: "There are never any clouds in the sky of this city."
"No, it's very strange," Wu Zhen replied. "It is said that no matter how many thousand or ten thousand years there are, there will never be clouds. There are also many myths and stories related to this."
Zhuan Wangxu continued: "That means it won't rain, it will snow... it will thunder."
After saying this, everyone was enlightened. Mu Ziyun pointed his index finger on the table and asked, "You mean, that man is the one in mythology who is always struck by lightning?"
"It's possible..." Wu Zhen said, "His story is probably the origin of Shuiying City, and he is obviously a good traveler and storyteller. There is no way Shuiying City will be struck by lightning. If he comes back from outside , he will definitely wrap himself tightly, and the thing wrapping him must have a lightning protection effect, and when he returns to Shuiying City, since there will be no lightning here, he does not need to cover himself."
"So what if we know this?" Zhan Fanzi asked doubtfully, "What can we do?"
Mu Ziyun slammed the table, stood up, smiled evilly, and said, "Hey... then leave it to me."
