In this way, several days passed.
Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming informed Zuichen Xiang and Yipinhongmei of their thoughts, and Zuichen Xiang also let Yue Shenchen and the two of them know about this, but they omitted some aspects just in case.
In the past few days, everyone has been keeping tabs on every possible sign, secretly maintaining a high degree of vigilance.
Early in the morning. The weather was great and the sky was clear. The peach blossoms in the streets are already in full bloom, and the streets and alleys are ablaze.
Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming had breakfast and went for a walk on the street, while making guesses about Jiuche Xiaoying's possible actions.
"... But after these few days, I think Yue Shenchen and the two of them do not have any ill intentions." Fu Yunge picked a peach blossom hanging out by the roadside and said to Dongfang Shiming behind him.
Dongfang Shiming stood behind him, with his hands in the waist pockets of his robe. The spring breeze made the skirt of his clothes flutter like two butterflies dancing up and down.
He thought for a while and sighed: "Me too, but people's hearts are unpredictable, so maybe there's no harm in being more cautious."
Fu Yunge thought and nodded. He pinned the peach blossom in his hand into a small ring and held it gently in his hand. Yu Rou's appearance gradually appeared in front of his eyes.
My little sister doesn’t know what she is doing now? Did she think about herself? Fu Yunge stared blankly at the pink peach blossom in his palm, feeling a little distracted.
Dongfang Shiming saw him in a trance, and his mind was racing. How could he not have a similar silhouette hidden deep in his heart? After not seeing each other for such a long time, he actually occasionally thought of that memory from his childhood.
"By the way, do you know that mysterious emblem?"
Fu Yunge's voice came, bringing him back to reality. Unexpectedly, he was too distracted this time, Dongfang Shiming smiled unconsciously.
"Xuanhui?" Dongfang Shiming thought about it for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about...the jade plaque from Zuichen Township?"
Fu Yunge tucked the small wreath into his pocket, lowered his head and said, "Yes. I consulted with Senior Poinsettia and I know the function of that treasure."
Dongfang Shiming had some understanding of Xuan Hui before, but didn't pay much attention to it. Hearing Fu Yunge mention it, he became interested and asked Fu Yunge to explain it in detail.
There were more and more people in the street in the morning, and it was very lively with outings and business people coming and going. Fu Yunge and the two turned from a small road and walked in a shady place with few people.
"...Xuanhui, first of all, is a special symbol." Fu Yunge said happily.
"In the Pure World, on the Altar of All Things, trialists can gain recognition from heaven through their own cultivation, and then obtain their own mysterious emblem. Therefore, the mysterious emblem is the representative of superb ability, which can be said to be an incomparable honor."
Dongfang Shiming understood and nodded in agreement. He'd known this before, and it didn't really interest him.
Fu Yunge continued: "The words on the mysterious emblem are given by heaven. They are the destiny divination obtained by the trialists. They are very profound. Many trialists often use this as their name, and it has become a convention over time. Just like the poinsettia Mei, senior Zui Chenxiang, Kou Wufu and Yue Shenchen are all like this."
Dongfang Shiming has heard about this for a long time, and he understood it when he got acquainted with Zui Chenxiang before. He actually felt that his name was okay and there was no need to change it.
"The first two points are false. The most magical thing about Xuanhui is the next point."
Fu Yunge saw Dongfang Shiming's perfunctory attitude, so he deliberately let it slip: "The lifespan of an average person is limited to a hundred years. Even if you practice health care, the effect will be limited."
"But the acquisition of Xuanhui erased this boundary." Dongfang Shiming smiled lightly and took over Fu Yunge's words.
"If you practice properly and have good fortunes, your life span can be extended even more. I know this. Zui Chenxiang is already over five hundred years old. I couldn't believe it at first. I called him an old man before."
Fu Yunge was a little frustrated when he saw Dongfang Shi Mingming knew it. He traced his finger across the brick wall, and his fingertips were covered with gray powder on the wall. He sighed and said, "I thought it was very mysterious, but you know it."
Dongfang Shiming saw that his deflated appearance was very funny, and he laughed twice.
Fu Yunge had previously guessed that Zui Chenxiang and others were quite old, and that they might have had some mysterious encounters, practiced some exercises, or taken some medicinal herbs. But after listening to Poinsettia's explanation, he realized that this was all the effect of Xuan Hui.
"But to keep your appearance forever, the effect of Xuanhui will vary from person to person." Fu Yunge thought of something else and hurriedly added to Dongfang Shiming.
"Well..." Dongfang Shiming was about to speak, but couldn't help but fell silent for a moment.
At this time, the two of them happened to stroll to a crossroads on the path, and from the other path, several hurried figures passed by very quickly, and flew away along the horizontal road.
Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming both extended their gazes towards that road, but those people turned around again and lost track of them.
The sun is getting higher, and the path is sprinkled with golden light. The people who just passed by stirred up the dust on the ground, which was like gold dust in the sunlight.
Fu Yunge and both of them noticed at the same time that after the dust settled, a shallow layer of footprints were left on the ground, and they had an idea at the same time.
Dongfang Shiming raised his chin: "Let's follow."
The two quickly followed the footprints left behind.
They turned at another intersection of the path, getting farther and farther away from the main street of the street.
At the same time, at Zuichen Township's home, Poinsettia boiled a pot of water. He came over with a pot and poured hot water into the teapot beside the chessboard.
In just a short moment, the fragrance of tea was thick, and the hot steam and light smoke slowly floated out of the window.
"It's time for them to come today."
Zui Chenxiang leaned lazily on the edge of the bed, looking at the tea that had just been brewed with a bit of disgust.
Anyway, he doesn't like drinking tea very much. Compared with the light water soaked in leaves, he prefers the pure wine from the gourd.
Poinsettia put down the kettle, sat down by the chessboard, and looked out the window.
"Maybe, with their efficiency, it's not surprising that they can't come today."
"But the auction that Shiming and Yunge were talking about will be in five days..."
Zui Chenxiang took out a crystal clear black chess piece from the chess box and knocked it on the chess board with a "snap". What he said stopped suddenly, as if he had no more strength.
Poinsettia glanced at him and said jokingly: "Then it's up to you to take the lead. I'll cheer for you."
Zui Chenxiang showed a trace of contempt for him from the corner of his eyes. The two of them just exchanged words and chatted in silence for a while.
The only intermittent sounds in the room were the falling sounds one after another.
…………
"Hey, there's one last thing." Fu Yunge stretched out his fingers and said to Dongfang Shiming as he hurried on, as if he was unwilling to give up before he finished speaking.
"The mysterious emblem contains the power given by God. Carrying it with you can be beneficial to your practice. Therefore, the seniors from Zuichen Township are accustomed to keeping it close to their body and carrying it with them."
Dongfang Shiming smiled and turned his head: "This is the first time I hear you say this. I have never heard of it before."
"Oh..." Fu Yunge felt a little satisfied when he heard what he said, but then he immediately calmed down.
Dongfang Shiming also saw the front and stopped immediately.
At the corner not far away, they saw those people.
They did not move forward, but met several companions who had been waiting here.
Fu Yunge made eye contact with Dongfang Shiming, and then huddled behind a peach tree in the corner.
There were about ten people gathered together. These people don't have any obvious unified signs. They are all dressed casually and don't seem to attract attention.
After they stood there waiting a while longer, the leader, it seemed, put his hand to his mouth and whistled softly.
Soon, several people came out from the two houses on both sides. They seemed to be their companions hiding here.
Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming saw that there were so many of them, so they moved back and hid behind the wall, holding their breath and listening carefully.
When the leading brother saw that all the brothers had arrived, he cleared his throat, and the brothers around him all straightened up.
"I have just gone to the big merchant house to inquire about the relevant information." The leading brother said at the beginning.
"It seems that what happened here is not an accident." A companion said.
The leading brother nodded "Yes". He paused and then said: "The auction of the Grand Merchant Hall will be held in five days. The most prestigious auction item is the Golden Wind Peony. The Golden Wind Peony is a high-quality and precious medicine, and its origin is the same as the previous incident."
The leader's voice was strong and deep, and he didn't sound like a bad guy. Listening to what they talked about, although the two of them were still confused, they didn't seem to be the same kind as Jiuche Xiaoying.
"Brother Chong, we still don't know who was responsible for the murder of the villains in Buyuanfang."
Another companion interjected, "Also, although we have no way of knowing whether there are other villains here, judging from this period of time, the serious problem may have been eliminated."
As soon as this conclusion came out, Fu Yunge and both of them heard a sigh of relief, and a comfortable atmosphere filled the air.
But the two of them did not hear the voice of Brother Chong for a long time, but it was not until the end that the thick voice rang out: "Don't be too happy too early, it is difficult to conclude this matter." Jue Tongjun, a man from the street The reclusive master gave me his address, and we must go there.”
A hidden master? Fu Yunge and Eastern poetry stirred the spirit at the same time.
Probably they were talking about Zuichen Township. After all, they had never heard of any other masters in Chaoyun Street except Zuichen Township.
When the two listened again, the group had already left, and the footsteps seemed to be heading in the direction of Zui Chen's hometown.
"Come out." Fu Yunge straightened up and walked out, brushing off the white dust on his clothes.
Dongfang Shiming followed. The group of people had gone away, and the clearing returned to a quiet emptiness.
"It seems that they are the subordinates of the agent." Dongfang Shiming said.
Fu Yunge agreed, and then said: "Just now when they thought the serious problem was eliminated, I was really shocked. Fortunately, their eldest brother was calm, otherwise I would have had to jump out at that time."
"It's really hard to tell whether the serious danger has been eliminated. Even if they go to Zuichen Township, they won't get an accurate conclusion."
Dongfang Shiming looked at the direction in which they were leaving and said lightly.
Fu Yunge just wanted to follow him, but after hearing what Dongfang Shiming said, he immediately gave up the idea.
Yes, the clues everyone has are exactly the same, and telling them the current situation cannot be conclusively proved. They are a valuable joint force, so the first thing now is to find enough evidence to retain them as much as possible.
"At this time, where can you think of the most?"
Dongfang Shiming suddenly asked.
Fu Yunge was stunned. He searched the memory in his mind, and soon a name blurted out: "...Pima Village!"
"I think so too." Dongfang Shiming clapped his hands approvingly.
"Since according to Senior Poinsettia, Pima Village is the main hiding place of Jiuche Xiaoying, then whether to launch the plan depends on whether they are still lurking in Pima Village."
"But..." Fu Yunge hesitated, "Didn't Senior Poinsettia think of such an idea?"
"I can't say for sure, but according to what Senior Poinsettia said, his information only came from a captured minion, so the organization of Pima Village will definitely take this as a warning and hide its whereabouts. In this way, the difficulty of exploration will be It will be even bigger." Dongfang Shiming gave his speculation quietly.
"Well..." Fu Yunge thought for a while and seemed to have some realization.
The corners of Dongfang Shiming's mouth were slightly raised, and the morning light on the back just outlined the outline of his face, making it look gleaming.
"Let's give it a try. It might be more rewarding to go and have a look than to go back."
Fu Yunge no longer hesitated. After all, it was not his style to be cautious all the time.
After the two reached a consensus, they embarked on the road to Pima Village together.
On the path, the bluestone bricks underfoot were polished and shiny, and ripples appeared in circles like water waves under the sunlight.
