Ye Siyi glanced at Qianqiu who was entranced, and poked his waist with the handle of her sword: "What are you thinking about?"
Qianqiu came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Senior Ye, it's nothing."
Ye Siyi looked at Li Yu and then at Qian Qiu. Neither of them spoke. She suddenly felt bored. Then she thought of it and asked: "If you don't treat Shenshan and your master to stay, what are you doing in this small broken city? "
Qianqiu looked at Ye Siyi and thought that since Senior Ye had no hostility towards his master, he cut out a paragraph about his experience from Qingshui Town to Huanghu City, and explained the cause and effect in detail.
After hearing this, Ye Siyi pondered for a while and said excitedly: "Then you mean you came to Huanghu City to track down the murderer?"
Qianqiu's expression froze, and she didn't understand why Senior Ye was so excited.
"Boy, I'll help you in two days. I really like investigating cases!" Ye Siyi still has the demeanor of a master at this time, just like a child.
Qianqiu was not as rigid and polite as Xian Yang. She changed her mind quickly. Without asking her why she wanted to help him, she immediately changed her angle and asked, "Senior, why does it take two days?"
"Because I have to go back to the Holy Capital in the next two days. I actually just came back from Wanjian Sect and passed by Huanghu City to see my good sisters..."
"Shut up, no one here is your good sister!" Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Li Yu's cold words.
"Okay, okay, let me see if this stinky bitch like you is dead, okay?" Ye Siyi quickly said perfunctorily, then turned back to Qianqiu and said, "I estimate that the round trip will take about two days. So before that , you can solve the difficult problems of the case on your own."
"Okay, senior, please go ahead and do your business first. Your business is important." Qianqiu thought to himself, if he had a magic master to help him, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in Huanghu City?
Ye Siyi smiled, nodded Qianqiu with her finger, and then turned over and went out: "I'm going to have a drink first, and then leave the city. I hope you are still alive when I come back."
"Senior Ye, walk slowly, I'm waiting for you!" Qianqiu saluted hurriedly, waved his hand, and sent Senior Ye off.
Back in the room, Li Yu, who was sitting and looking at the sword, said: "You guys are really quick to jump at the first sight. That drunkard woman is so nosy. She may not be able to help you when the time comes. Instead, she will give you a few more masters." opponent."
Qianqiu was startled, why didn't he expect that Senior Ye was so careless and bold in his actions, maybe when the time comes... He thought too much, how could one man in Huanghu City come from so many magic masters, he would force him to Comfort yourself not to think too much.
Qianqiu walked to Li Yu's side and sat down again: "Senior Li, why do I feel like you have some deep hatred for Senior Ye? Is there some grudge between you two?"
Li Yu waved his sword, put it on Qianqiu's neck, and looked at Qianqiu: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask."
Qianqiu was startled. After waiting for a while, he gently moved the sword away.
"Senior, shall I say goodbye then?" Li Yu sat without saying a word, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, which made Qianqiu feel restless.
"You go ahead. If something happens, I will help you once, just once, for the sake of your master." Li Yu said expressionlessly.
"Thank you, senior!" Qianqiu hurriedly saluted, already feeling happy and ready to leave.
Li Yu suddenly thought of something again and called Qianqiu: "Wait a minute, aren't you looking for monsters? Judging from your level of cultivation, you may not have any rare spiritual beasts. Well, let me give you a suggestion. Go to the north of the city. Find a tea seller named Ni Zhujun, he may be able to help you."
"Tea seller?" Qianqiu was confused. Nowadays, the master just casually mentions a sentence and then stuffs it into the previous sentence? He jumped too fast, "Looking for monsters, asking spiritual beasts, why should I go to the tea seller?"
"Believe it or not, I'm tired, you can leave." Li Yu issued an eviction order.
Qianqiu said goodbye to Li Yu and returned to the street. He called out the knife that he had found earlier and asked for the way back to the inn. He was wondering while riding his horse.
After a while, it was already a quarter of the hour when we returned to the inn, and it was still a little while before the start of the heaven-sacrifice ceremony.
As soon as Qianqiu entered the door, he saw Yang Xian walking anxiously in the lobby.
"Lao Yang, why are you still here? Why don't you go up and rest?" Qianqiu asked doubtfully.
"Brother Qian, you are back." Yang Xian, who was restless, saw that Qian Qiu had come back intact, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, "Didn't we make an appointment to watch the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony together?"
"Oh oh oh, look how I forgot about this. Too many things happened today. Come on, let's talk as we walk." Qianqiu hurriedly invited Yang Xian, and the two of them walked out together.
Although it was already midnight, the streets of Huanghu City were crowded and even more lively at this moment. Tonight's heaven-sacrifice ceremony at midnight seems to be comparable to such a big festival as the Chinese New Year in the hearts of the people in Huanghu City.
Yang Xian listened to Qianqiu's words and said: "In that case, after tonight, I will accompany you to the west of the city. Senior Li Yu is a Dacheng expert. No one else can ask for her advice even if they want it. No. Come to think of it, Senior Li Yu is extremely generous to Brother Qian."
Qianqiu flattened his lips: "Listening to what you said, I also think that Senior Li is very good to me. I really can't tell without comparison."
【City Lord's Mansion】
Cai Ritian had just changed into the dress for the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony and was about to go out. Suddenly he thought of a series of things that happened tonight, especially Li Yulai's request for three births of clover. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. In the end, he still felt a little uneasy, so he ordered everyone Wait at the door.
He walked into the city lord's mansion alone, turned a few corners, and returned to his room. Before opening the door, he looked around to make sure no one saw him before entering the room.
As soon as Cai Ritian entered the house and closed the door, a black shadow flashed across the wall and landed lightly next to the window. The shadow stood firm and secretly drilled a hole through the window with his finger. He looked around and saw Cai Ritian.
After Cai Ritian looked around, he walked to his desk and pressed a button on the desk. After a short while, the wall under the "Picture of Rivers and Mountains" moved open and a door appeared. .
He hurriedly entered the door, and after a while he walked out relieved, turned off the machine, and ran out the door.
"What good things are you hiding?" The black figure hiding outside the window couldn't help but think to himself when he saw everything passing by.
After a while, the shadow finally sneaked into Cai Ritian's room.
Under the weak light of the candle, you can see the person coming more clearly. This person is wearing a green gown and a curtain hat. He is Bieling.
At sunset, Bieling accepted Guitou's order. When Cai Ritian left the house, she came to the city lord's mansion to steal the treasure. This was the best opportunity.
Bie Ling turned over the table, looked around, and finally found the button. He pressed it and the secret door opened immediately.
Bie Ling found a torch, lit the tip of his head with a torch, and walked in carefully.
After walking up a few steps, I vaguely saw a bright light in front of me. After walking a few more steps inside, Bieling put down the torch - the interior of the secret room was brightly lit.
Under the light, the secret room was filled with boxes of all sizes. Several boxes were open, filled with glittering gold, gorgeous jewelry and jades, antiques of all sizes... Don't leave it alone. He didn't seem to be interested in these things and didn't want to take a second look. He searched around for the closed boxes and boxes.
After searching for a long time, there was nothing she wanted.
"This Cai Ritian, I don't believe that he came back just to see these gold and silver jewelry." Bie Ling thought to himself that Cai Ritian is not the kind of timid person, and maybe it is something that can make him uneasy and come back to take a look. The three-leaf clover that I am looking for.
After searching for a while, Bie Ling looked at the open box he just came in and felt a little strange. The other boxes are all tightly closed, and the jewelry, gold and silver inside are all arranged in a very orderly manner. However, the jewelry, gold and silver in the three boxes that I just saw when I came in are in a mess. After comparing these jewelry, gold and silver, there is nothing. different.
Bie Ling walked over again and groped around. The pull tabs behind the three boxes could be pulled. She pulled them respectively. As a result, a small light on the wall immediately dimmed, and a small light slowly emerged from under it. A box.
With quick eyes and quick hands, she took it over and opened the box: lying quietly inside was a bouquet of white flowers with only three leaves.
"Sansheng Sanyehua, I have found you!" Bie Ling beamed with joy, closed the box, and stuffed it into his arms.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, it was already midnight. Bieling thought for a moment: "The heaven-sacrifice ceremony is about to begin. Sister Hongchao and Guitou must be at the temple. If I leave the city now, no one will notice."
After thinking about it, Bieling drove his horse and hurried out of the city. Little did he know that a pair of eyes were watching her closely in the dark.
【Hucheng Holy Temple】
The Holy Temple located in the south of Huanghu City is a very large temple with only one main hall and no other side halls. Inside the main hall, the gold medal on the offering table is marked with the word "Heaven and Earth", indicating that the temple only enshrines heaven and earth and no other gods.
In front of the gate of the holy temple, people gathered. After a series of sacrificial activities, they finally came to the last item - everyone was waiting for the city lord to light the sky-opening cannon in order to pray for good weather this year.
City Lord Cai Ritian, who was wearing a formal dress, opened his eyes wide with a serious expression, silently looking at the words "Heaven and Earth" on the gold medal.
"It's midnight!" the time teller shouted.
Everyone knelt down, worshiped heaven and earth, and prayed loudly.
Cai Ritian lit a stick of incense, inserted it into the sand altar, and waved the cannon into the sky.
The sky-opening cannon shot up into the night sky with a "hoo" sound, but there was no sound for a long time.
The people looked up at the sky, but there was still no movement for a long time, and finally began to talk about it.
"What's going on? Why doesn't the cannon sound?"
"It's a squib. Kong Er is probably going to be unlucky enough to become a squib."
"It was the same in previous years. Let's wait a little longer."
"Wait a minute, it's already been a quarter of an hour!"
"Has it been this long in previous years?"
"No, I'm sure it rang before everyone reacted."
.......
The common people were discussing with each other. The failure of the cannon to open the sky means that there will be no good luck in the year, and it means that God will not accept the gift from Huanghu City! This is a very serious matter!
"Come on, catch the craftsman who made the Sky-Opening Cannon and kill him on the spot as a sacrifice to heaven." Cai Ritian was puzzled for a long time at first as to why the Sky-Opening Cannon didn't go off. If this matter reaches the Holy Capital, The title of city lord was no longer guaranteed. Thinking of this, he quickly asked people to arrest the craftsman.
Qianqiu and Yang Xian also raised their heads among the crowd and looked at the night sky.
"Brother Qian, why do you think this sky-opening cannon doesn't fire?" Yang Xian raised his head and rubbed his neck.
Qianqiu looked at Yang Xian, feeling angry and funny: "Old Yang, why are you so stubborn? Why are you still looking at me for so long? You only lower your head when your neck is broken?"
Yang Xian then lowered his head: "It must be a squib. The craftsmen must have been careless when making it. The consequences are so serious, I'm afraid the craftsmen will have a hard time."
Qianqiu looked up at the night sky again, looked at it carefully for a while, and murmured: "I don't think it may be a squib."
