In the Zen room, Master Qin Chuan and Huikong were rummaging through the boxes and cabinets looking for that important thing. He didn't notice anything strange outside the Zen room at all.
"Master, can you really not remember where to put it?" Qin Chuan asked while looking at the old monk's busy back, while scanning every corner of the room, not missing any corner.
"As I get older, I no longer have any use for it. I don't remember where I put the things I put away in the past few months..." Master Huikong sighed while continuing to rummage.
"Master, what exactly are you looking for? Let me help you look for it..." Qin Chuan couldn't bear to see Master Huikong busy alone.
After listening to his words, Master Huikong straightened up, gestured to Qin Chuan, and said: "A palm-sized glazed lamp with a copper shelf at the bottom. Please help me see if it is in that cabinet..."
Qin Chuan roughly understood what the old monk meant, walked to the cabinet pointed by the old monk, opened the cabinet doors one by one, and started rummaging through them one by one.
After a while, he touched an object made of colored glaze. He took it out and saw that it was indeed an exquisite and unique colored glaze lamp. So he hurriedly called the old monk to come over and confirm.
Master Huikong took a closer look and was overjoyed. He put his hands on his hands and said with a smile, "That's it! I've found it..."
Master Huikong wrapped the glazed lamp and put it in his arms. He and Qin Chuan stepped out of the Zen room one after another. The two of them were shocked as soon as they came out! I saw several corpses of men in black lying scattered in front of the Zen room. Qin Chuan walked to one of the corpses, reached out and turned over the corpse, and examined it carefully. However, there was no obvious trauma or signs of poisoning. The only strange thing was that there was a red needle hole on the neck of the corpse. , it’s hard to spot without looking carefully.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but wonder: "How did these men in black die?" This was the first time he saw such dead people. He stood up and looked at the corpses next to him. Without exception, they all had strange redness on their necks and tiny pinholes. What's going on? Who helped him clean up these men in black?
Qin Chuan raised his head to look at Master Huikong, who also looked confused. Qin Chuan stopped lingering and walked out of the temple with Master Huikong in his arms.
As soon as he walked out of the temple gate, Master Huikong seemed to notice something strange. He took Qin Chuan's arm and asked him to read a note on the temple door knocker. Qin Chuan stepped forward and took off the note, unfolded it and read it: "The person you are looking for is at Juxing Inn..." Qin Chuan muttered to himself in confusion: "The person we are looking for... Gu Zhongkai! Gu Zhongkai! Zhong Kai is at Juxing Inn..." He finally understood that someone was secretly giving him clues.
He had to tell Su Er the big news quickly! Thinking of this, he gently closed the temple door, then supported Master Huikong and walked quickly towards the place where Su Qiqi, Zheng Miao and others stayed.
"Su'er! Wanrou! Let's go back to Juxing Inn to save people!" Qin Chuan couldn't restrain his excitement. As soon as he saw the carriage where Su Qiqi was, he ran over in a few steps.
When Su Qiqi heard his voice, she hurriedly opened the curtain and walked out. Zheng Miao also jumped out of the carriage and trotted all the way to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan quickly took out the note and showed it to Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao, and told them the clues found in Qingxuan Temple. All three were pleasantly surprised.
"Let's set off now! The earlier the better, the better the chance of winning!" Su Qiqi couldn't wait to save people. Qin Chuan and Zheng Miao couldn't hold back their excitement. The three of them simply assigned tasks and then went their separate ways.
Qin Chuan took the Star Gathering Map to the Seven Star Fort to move reinforcements. Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao found a nearby place to stay in order to monitor the activities of Juxing Inn.
Not long after Qin Chuan left, Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao returned to Juxing Town by carriage. However, they did not go directly to the Juxing Inn at the east end of the town. Instead, they went around half a circle outside the town and started from the west of Juxing Town. He quietly entered the town from Luan Shi Gang and stayed at Tai'an Inn, which is across the street from Juxing Inn.
"Sister, if we live here, can we clearly see what's going on at the Juxing Inn across the street?" Zheng Miao stood in front of the window of the guest room along the street on the second floor of the Tai'an Inn, looking across the street with difficulty.
Su Qiqi looked at her innocent expression, chuckled, and said: "Of course you can't see clearly if you look at it this way, but I can do a trick..." After that, she picked up the baggage placed on the small square table, and picked up the bag from it. Take some items and put them together yourself.
Zheng Miao took a closer look and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister, have you assembled the telescope yourself? It turns out that you bought those special lenses, metal accessories and so on just for a rainy day!"
Su Qiqi smiled lightly and said: "Of course you have to be prepared, what if you can't hold the Buddha's feet temporarily..." While the two were chatting and laughing, Su Qiqi had assembled a simple telescope and held it in his hand. Inside, he observed the situation at the Juxing Inn opposite.
"Sister, let me have a look too!" Zheng Miao looked excited and wanted to experience this handmade telescope. Su Qiqi handed the telescope to Zheng Miao, and after instructing her on how to operate it, she calmly sat down on the bed and crossed her legs to practice her internal skills. She relied on the remaining memories of the original owner, a little bit of encouragement, luck, and repeated interruptions, which made her a little discouraged: It seems that she has not integrated well with this body, and she still needs to continue to work hard to adapt and adjust...
Thinking of this, she jumped up and returned to the window to look at the Juxing Inn opposite with Zheng Miao. It was still quiet there at the moment. Through the half-open door, I could vaguely see the figure of the waiter, still lazily huddled in the counter and taking a nap.
Su Qiqi knew in her heart that this was just an illusion. The more cunning the hunter is, the more he will pretend to be harmless and deliver a fatal blow when you are unprepared. The previous experience at Juxing Inn made Su Qiqi not dare to take it lightly. She moved the telescope slowly and focused on the stairs leading to the second floor of Juxing Inn, but there was no one on the stairs. She moved up a little further, and finally saw the figure of the shopkeeper, the obscene and greasy middle-aged fat man. At this moment, he was walking out of the practice room, holding a white towel in his hand. He wiped his face randomly and handed the towel to the boy next to him. Walk alone to a guest room on the east side.
Su Qiqi held her breath, staring at the shopkeeper's figure without blinking, and wandered into a room with a playing card hanging at the door. After a cup of tea, a tall, thin man in black tights came out of the room, holding a baggage in his hand. He hurried downstairs, chatted with the waiter for a few words, and then left Juxing. Inn.
Su Qiqi noticed that this person was quite similar to the mysterious person he had seen in the ruined temple before. Is Juxing Inn really the secret contact point of Yeyou Alliance? What kind of character is this tall and thin man in black?
Su Qiqi's heart was full of questions. She held the telescope and looked at it for a while. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she put the telescope on the table and began to meditate alone.
"Miaomiao, how about we go out?" Su Qiqi turned to look at Zheng Miao who was studying the "Ancient Medical Meridians and Acupuncture Points" and suggested.
Zheng Miao put down the ancient book and said excitedly: "Okay! Okay! I'm feeling a little bored, where should we go shopping?" Su Qiqi patted her head and said: "You, you still want to go shopping? We still have business to do..."
"What's the business? Oh...I know...following! Hee hee!" Zheng Miao looked like she suddenly realized something.
Su Qiqi nodded, took a few hidden weapons from her bag, put them into her belt, and went out with Zheng Miao.
Turn left...turn right...turn right again...
Su Qiqi stared at the back of the man in black while silently reciting the movement route of the man in black.
"Sister, are we following too closely..." Zheng Miao gently tugged on Su Qiqi's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Su Qiqi shook her head and said, "It's okay. There are many people on the street at this time, so it's not easy for him to find us..."
Zheng Miao nodded after hearing this, and together with Su Qiqi, she followed the man in black into an alley next to the street.
"Hey, were you in front just now? Why are you missing?" Zheng Miao looked at the empty alley in front of her, feeling a little confused. Su Qiqi secretly thought that it was not good, the other party might have discovered it. She hurriedly pulled Zheng Miao and prepared to return to the main street.
At this moment, the man in black floated down from the eaves next to the two of them, blocking their way with a horizontal sword.
Su Qiqi's heart was beating loudly. She quietly moved her hands to her waist, preparing to take out a hidden weapon to protect herself. But the other party seemed to have already anticipated her intention and launched the offensive first. Seeing that the silver sword energy was about to sweep across the river like a rainbow, Su Qiqi suddenly felt suffocated. She seemed to be in a desperate situation, but suddenly there was a sudden turn of events, and a strange air flow sprang up from the Dantian and poured into Su Qiqi's palm. , she swung her hand, and the powerful force caused the man in black to instantly bounce several feet away, hitting the wall of the building on the street heavily, and then fell to the ground again, groaning half-dead. Su Qiqi was also shaken so much that her whole body became numb, and she staggered back several steps before barely regaining her balance.
She calmed down and said to the frightened Zheng Miao: "Let's leave quickly. I just relied on luck this time..."
Zheng Miao nodded dumbly and hurriedly followed Su Qiqi to the main street.
When the two returned to Tai'an Inn, Qin Chuan had already returned, sitting in the room drinking tea and waiting for them.
"Brother, have you brought in reinforcements?"
As soon as Zheng Miao saw Qin Chuan, she ran over excitedly, sat down on the chair opposite Qin Chuan, picked up the teapot and poured a few sips of tea directly, while asking inarticulately.
Qin Chuan looked at her and couldn't help but joked: "Little sister, be more ladylike!"
Zheng Miao stuck out her tongue and said mischievously: "There are no outsiders here..."
Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly, made another pot of tea, made a cup for Su Qiqi, and said, "You guys went out, did you gain anything?"
Su Qiqi nodded slightly and said, "We may have met the person who committed the murder in the ruined temple before..."
"Are you sure it's him?" Qin Chuan frowned slightly and asked.
"I just guessed... His figure is too similar to the mysterious man that day..." Su Qiqi paused, not knowing how to express her familiar impression of the man in black.
Qin Chuan smiled softly and said, "Let's put aside the matter of the man in black for a while. You and Wanrou have been tired for a long day. Let's take a rest first. I'll see if the people in Seven Star Castle have settled down..." After that, He picked up his sword and went out.
Su Qiqi looked at his back, suddenly in a trance.
