"Have you heard? The young master of Baizhao City has come to ask for his hand in marriage to the young master of Baihua Valley."
Inns and wine shops are common places in stories to inquire about information. Song Yu never expected that he could hear gossip in this place, and this gossip seemed... to have something to do with him.
Moreover, is it related to Bai Zhaocheng? Song Yu drank tea calmly and secretly glanced at the people at that table.
Although the people at that table were wearing swords, they were well-dressed and had an extraordinary bearing. At first glance, they were no ordinary gangsters. It is not unusual for such a person to have access to some news related to a city or a valley.
"I heard about it. But wasn't he kicked out again? After all, the Young Valley Master and our Tianyong Young City Master have already made an engagement."
"Brother Zhou, your news is out of date!" It was a young man wearing a golden robe and brocade clothes. He also held a folding fan in his sword hand, looking very romantic. It’s just that the modeling is a bit casual, but in the game "Seeing God", it is really popular: "The latest news is that the young master of Baizhao City has gone to Tianyong to find our young city master for a duel. It is said that the young city master has never come forward, then The young city lord of Baizhao City is not leaving either. He is posting battle posts there every day, waiting for others to show up."
Song Yu choked on his tea again, secretly glad that he did not return to Tianyong, otherwise he would be entangled by another lunatic for a woman who would kill ordinary people at every turn... He was too bad.
No, he now feels that his name is not safe in Tianyong territory, so it would be better to go to Jiange earlier!
Seeing Song Yu's distressed look, Xie Nanshi had a smile in his eyes and suddenly said: "Could the appearance of this strange beast be related to the young master of Bai Zhao City? How about we..."
"It's better to go back to your home first!" Song Yu was afraid that he would suggest changing his route to Tianyong City. He liked playing games, but he didn't like playing games with himself. After he finished speaking, he noticed the obvious smile in Xie Nanshi's eyes. How could he not know that he had been fooled by this usually serious Taoist priest. I couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
Does this count as him completely misleading the little Taoist priest who is dedicated to exterminating demons and defending the Tao?
…
The rumors heard in Yunlai Inn made Song Yu no longer in the mood to go shopping to buy iced cheese. I can't wait to leave Jinyan immediately.
However, although Xie Nanshi's guess was mainly to tease himself, it was not completely unreasonable. With this in mind, after dinner, Song Yu took Yun Lang with him to prepare to go out, while Xie Nanshi went back to the room to meditate.
Before leaving the inn, Song Yu specifically asked the boss which liquor store in Jinyan was the best, and then pulled Yun Lang straight towards the goal.
"Boss, give me ten jars of this Hundred Flowers Wine." Song Yu was still wealthy and went to his shop and threw out a piece of silver.
While the boss was going to get the wine, Yun Lang couldn't help but lean into Song Yu's ear and ask, "You don't like drinking, why did you buy so much wine?" His expression was like looking at a prodigal.
Song Yu was helpless and rubbed Yun Lang's head: "You kid has a lot to do. I don't drink this wine for myself. I drink it to invite others."
Yun Lang glanced at Song Yu unconvincingly. Master Song didn't seem to have an old acquaintance in Jinyan. This sounded like an excuse.
Song Yu didn't bother to explain. He couldn't directly say that your other master was following you secretly. After all, it was a good choice for Du Anchen to switch from light to dark.
Song Yu's mood came and went quickly. The weather outside was hot. When he came out of the wine shop, he subconsciously started looking for iced cheese, and then directly surrounded other people's shops.
This time, Lian Yunlang also saw Song Yu smoothly putting things into the space. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and circle around him several times.
Song Yu deliberately teased the child and spread his hands to show him.
Yun Lang searched for a long time but couldn't find the wine or iced cheese. He took two steps back and looked at Song Yu with hesitation in his tone: "Sir...could it be...that you are the god?!"
Song Yu couldn't hold it in any longer, and his laughter continued until he returned to the inn.
In the evening, Song Yu sat in his room, opened a jar of wine towards the window, and fanned the wine to let the aroma of the wine spread out.
This method was very effective, but Du Anchen got in through the window a moment later. He grabbed the opened jar of wine, raised his head and took a sip, then looked at Song Yu with dissatisfaction: "Master Song, this is too wasteful, the aroma of the wine is gone!"
Song Yu spread his hands: "This is not to summon you faster."
Du Anchen glanced at Song Yu and was too lazy to continue this boring conversation: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"I want to ask you to investigate a person, the young city lord of Baizhao City."
Du Anchen almost spit out his drink: "You want me to go to Baizhao City to check on their young city lord?" She said and looked at Song Yu as if he had some serious illness.
Song Yu took a bite of the ice cream cheese, feeling cool in his mouth and comfortable in his heart: "I heard that he is in Tianyong now."
Du Anchen was silent for a moment: "Do you think Tianyong is very close?"
Du Anchen wanted to attack, but he couldn't resist Song Yu, so he slapped his thigh: "I understand, we need more money."
Then they put out a few ingots of gold and jars of fine wine.
Du Anchen's expression was complicated: "I think you seem to have misunderstood me. I don't do everything as long as I have money and wine."
Song Yu seemed to have not heard anything and gave orders there: "I want to know if he has anything to do with the strange beast that swam here in Jinyan this time. If you have any news, go to Jinshui Town and find me. Oh, by the way, you just said What?"
Ridicule, absolutely sarcastic. Du Anchen was not blind, so he could see Song Yu pretending to pick his ears there.
Du Anchen's face turned red and white. She remembered that Jinshui Town was an inconspicuous town, and it was the closest place to Zangfeng. She took a deep breath and said, "Leave the wine, I will come to get it tomorrow."
Your own personality must stand firm even if you cry. She doesn't have Song Yu's ability to take things away without knowing where they are. It's so late at night, where can she go carrying the wine?
"Okay." Song Yu smiled and watched as Du Anchen disappeared into the night with the bottle of wine he had opened. He breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the bed, turned on the system and clicked to sleep.
…
The next day, the female disciple from Baihua Valley sent a message that they had investigated the entire water area and found no more problems.
After receiving the message, Song Yu immediately rented a boat, pulled his newly purchased carriage, and left Jinyan with Xie Nanshi and Yun Lang as if they were fleeing.
In the following days, he did not choose to enter any town again. When he was tired and had no skills and levels, the triggering events in the city were much more dangerous than in the wild. After all, there were not enough monsters in the wild to feed Xie Nanshi.
During this period, he also tried to trigger a side mission in the wild.
According to Song Yu's memory, you should be able to obtain a non-sect skill that is useful in the early stage after completing the mission. This is the unique skill system of "Meeting the Gods". It's a pity that no matter how he made his presence felt in front of the old man who lived in seclusion in the mountains, people treated him as if he was missing. Instead, they were very interested in Jie Nanshi from Yushu Linfeng and asked him if he was interested in inheriting his mantle.
Xie Nanshi naturally refused.
"How come you can be loved by everyone? I'm the only player, okay!" Song Yu was extremely depressed, "Or did you complete the mission and then give me the secret book?"
Xie Nanshi glanced at Song Yu sympathetically: "I am already a disciple of Jian...Zangfeng."
"Don't think about your vest between the two of us. I just want you to get a secret book, and I'm not asking you to switch to another faction." Song Yu tried his best to persuade.
But apparently his persuasive skills are not very good. Xie Nanshi still shook his head: "That is this gentleman's unique skill, and it should naturally be passed on to his disciples. It is unkind and unjust for me to not join his disciples, but to transfer the things to you. There is no need to say this. Say it again."
What can Song Yu do? He doesn't have the ability to do the underlying logic of an NPC.
However, Song Yu reminded him to understand Nanshi. His current cultivation level is at the level of Jinghe's three years ago. During the ghost disaster in Yongxi Prefecture, Song Yu almost lost his life because of his insufficient protection. He is now closely connected with the Song Dynasty, his travel routes have also changed greatly, and his practice is not as non-stop as in the previous life.
Returning to Jiange this time is an excellent adjustment for Xie Nanshi.
They walked for almost half a month before arriving at Jinshui Town. After the sword pavilion was changed to Zangfeng, many formations were set up around it, and it would take a day to get there.
After wandering in the wild for so long, even though Song Yu's backpack was rich in supplies and had the one-click cleaning function, it was almost too much for him. Didn’t you see that even Yuanfang has no energy? In the beginning, he was flying outside a few times every day, but now he is sitting in the carriage every day, and he has gained a lot of weight that is visible to the naked eye.
"Let's go to the town to rest first." Song Yu turned to look at Jie Nanshi who was meditating and adjusting his breath.
Xie Nanshi opened his eyes, did not answer immediately, but stretched out his hand to lift the car curtain. He looked at the town not far away with a look of nostalgia, and then responded with the word "Okay".
Yun Lang, who was driving the car, heard the master's words with his ears, and his little face instantly lit up with joy. Keeping on the road was extremely boring for a child of his age. He immediately shouted "drive" and drove the horse faster.
This Jinshui town is built outside Jiange and belongs to the protection range of Jiange. Although the sword pavilion is hidden in the world, its power still remains, and just sealing the entrance and exit does not mean that all the sword cultivators in the pavilion have disappeared. Therefore, Jinshui Town can be said to be very stable, and there is not even any protective formation at the entrance of the town.
"Most of the people here are related to the children in the pavilion. Even if they don't join the pavilion, they will simply practice some swordsmanship and Taoism, which is enough to protect themselves. Even if they encounter difficult problems, there are tokens that can directly notify the people in the pavilion."
Perhaps it was because he arrived at a familiar territory that Xie Nanshi, who had always been quiet, took the initiative to explain. "In a moment, turn left ahead and there will be a courtyard where you can stay."
In order to facilitate observation, Song Yu had already pulled up the curtains of the carriage, so that even from inside the carriage, one could see the scenery outside the carriage.
Yuan Fang stopped hiding now. She flapped her wings and flew to the top of Song Yu's head. She leaned her little head over and looked out together.
