On Longshou Mountain, in Tianjing City.
Lin Ji never imagined that he would be here again so soon.
Things were just as Lin Ji expected.
He walked north from Yunyang County for several days, but could not find any trace of Zhang Dahe.
This task, like finding a needle in a haystack, was really tiring of patience, so Lin Ji changed direction midway and headed straight for Longshou Mountain.
We arrived at the middle and third floors with ease and walked into Lanke Building again.
"I'm here to inquire about the news." Lin Ji said to the oncoming boy.
"Mr. Lin, please go to the second floor and wait for a moment. The landlord is meeting guests." The boy bowed respectfully.
Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you recognize me?"
"Mr. Lin was also received by the villain last time."
"There are so many guests in Lanke Building every day, do you remember them all?"
Lin Ji's words seemed to speak of the young man's pride, and he smiled cautiously.
"Remember."
"Lead the way." Lin Ji threw two yuan crystals casually.
Not long after waiting in the room on the second floor, the waiter came to inform Lin Ji that the previous guest had left.
Lin Ji nodded and came to the deepest room on the second floor of Lanke Building again.
Opening the door, there was still the dim light.
"Mr. Lin is here." Host Jian greeted casually.
Lin Ji twitched the corner of his mouth and sat down opposite Master Jian. He waved his hand in front of the table, and a thousand yuan crystals appeared on the table.
"Where is Zhang Dahe?"
Lin Ji didn't forget the last time the host Jian tried to play word games with him, so he went straight to the point.
One question costs a thousand yuan crystals. This money cannot be wasted.
I don’t know if I can be reimbursed when I go back. I have to save money no matter what.
"Mr. Lin, we are really familiar with each other. This is not the first time we have met. Why can't you wait to reminisce about old times?"
"There's nothing to reminisce about," Lin Ji said businesslikely.
Hearing this, Host Jian also laughed.
"Going north."
"To be more specific, is it north of Jingzhou, or is it going to Yunzhou through Tianyun Mountain?"
"I don't know, but he just left Tianjing City the day before yesterday. After leaving Longshou Mountain, he took the official road in the direction of Yunzhou."
This news is worth the price of admission.
"Thank you." Lin Ji stood up and wanted to leave, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped again.
In fact, the last time he came to this Lanke Building, he felt a little curious after meeting the owner Jian.
How on earth did he know so much information? Even though there is an intelligence organization in Lanke Building that collects a large amount of all kinds of information, but... you, Master Jian, are just sitting here, how do you know what he wants to ask? And you can answer anything you ask?
Thinking of this, Lin Ji reluctantly took out another thousand yuan crystal and placed it on the table.
Anyway, he has a lot of karma in his cultivation, so he can't use Yuan Jing for the time being, so he might as well use it to figure out some things.
This time it was Lord Jian's turn to be surprised.
"Now that we know Zhang Dahe's whereabouts, if Mr. Lin doesn't rush to arrest him, what else do you want to ask?"
"As expected, you know my purpose of coming." Lin Ji asked with a certain expression on his face, "Lin is curious."
"What are you curious about?"
"Master Jian is too powerful. This is unreasonable." Lin Ji said, "Even if Supervisor Tiansi has spies all over Jiuzhou, if he wants to inquire about certain information, he has to lay out the matter and wait for a while before he can get a response. .”
"How come you are here with Master Jian, but you seem to know everything, and you can get the answer just by asking about no matter how big or small it is. This is a bit unbelievable."
"Is it incredible?" Master Jian chuckled twice and asked.
"No?"
"Haha." Master Jian stretched out his hand and put away all the Yuan Jing on the table.
"You have seen the holy fire of the Holy Fire Sect, and the one dream and three lives of the Qingqiu Fox Clan...Is it really incredible?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji's expression suddenly changed.
He stood up, bowed, turned and left without saying a word.
Behind him came the hearty laughter of Master Jian, but he turned a deaf ear to it, and his speed only became faster and faster.
In an instant, he left Lanke Building.
But he was still worried. It wasn't until he walked out of Tianjing City and followed the path out of Longshou Mountain to the official road that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tao again!" Lin Ji's face was still a bit shocked.
He would never have imagined that an organization that sells information would actually be involved with the monks of the Eighth Realm.
"What kind of Tao can know everything?"
"What exactly is Tao?"
"Then Master Jian is in the eighth realm? Is he a monk in the Daocheng realm?"
"It doesn't look like..."
To this day, Lin Ji has inexplicably dealt with the Tao of Tao Cheng-level monks many times.
But precisely because of this, even though he had not yet faced the real eighth realm, he became increasingly confused.
The holy fire that burns filth and erases existence, transforms dreams into the real world, and the current Lord Jian who seems to know everything.
The three ways are not related in any way.
But it also made Lin Ji more and more in awe of the Daocheng realm.
"Tao Cheng... is almost an immortal."
He recalled the arrogant Alayaji Bodhisattva in Weizhou.
The Alaya Consciousness was just a fake eighth realm, but even so, it made everyone in Jian Tiansi extremely embarrassed.
So what kind of existence should the real eighth realm be?
And why doesn't this kind of existence show up easily?
After thinking about it, Lin Ji couldn't think of a reason.
But because of these messy thoughts, his shock and awe towards Mr. Jian finally subsided a lot.
"That's all, I don't think about this anymore."
After Lin Ji figured out the direction, he continued northward along the official road.
...
Three days flew by.
Unknowingly, Lin Ji had caught up to a place not far from Tianyun Mountain. If he went further north, he would have entered the territory of Yunzhou.
In the early morning, it was just dawn.
The official road was very cold, and Lin Ji could pass by the camps of some pedestrian caravans from time to time, but at this point, these people on the road had not yet woken up.
The weather is indeed getting colder and colder, and there is white mist in every breath.
Winter came earlier than usual this year.
When Lin Ji came to the foot of Tianyun Mountain, the temperature became scorching again.
However, this time Lin Ji did not plan to enter the mountain. Instead, he took a detour along the smooth official road. Although it would take a lot of time, it would save him the danger and trouble of entering the mountain.
As we walked, the woodland on both sides turned into shrubs, the shrubs turned into grass, and the grass gradually became sparse.
It wasn't until Lin Ji passed by that he saw some organized troops driving carriages that he suddenly woke up.
Looking around, it seems that it is not much different from Jingzhou.
"We have arrived in Yunzhou."
Lin Ji felt a little strange. This was his first time coming to this northern land.
At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves behind him.
"Get out of the way!"
Lin Ji turned around and saw a soldier galloping on horseback, with a somewhat nervous look on his face.
"That's the direction from Jingzhou to Beiguan City."
Watching the soldier go away, Lin Ji felt a little confused.
"What happened?"
