Badie City is very big, and the flying boat flew over Badie City for a long time before stopping at one place.
Ji Liaoning took a quick look and saw that beneath them was a huge courtyard covering dozens of acres.
In front of the yard is a three-story attic made entirely of white jade, which looks extremely impressive. On the top of the attic stands a huge stone sign with four vigorous characters, "Huiyuan Shop."
Behind the attic is a huge open space. There are many low houses standing in the open space, which look like the homes of wealthy families in the world.
There were more than a dozen people walking around in the yard, and there were also people enjoying the shade under the low eaves.
At this time, people in the courtyard suddenly saw the flying boat in the sky, and immediately exclaimed, "Hey, look, the shopkeeper is back."
"Really, the shopkeeper is back. It's great."
"Why is it that only one of the shopkeeper's flying boats has returned? Weren't there four when we went there?"
"Yeah, what's going on?"
"Hey, why do you care so much? Make some room for the shopkeeper."
The crowd started chattering, and then the crowd retreated to both sides.
Ye Tong turned back to look at Ji Liao and Lu Zhu, with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression was majestic and commanding, but the words coming out of his mouth had completely different tastes.
"Two seniors, from now on you two can only feel aggrieved."
Ji Liao and Lu Zhu looked at each other, said nothing more, and bowed deeply to Ye Tong.
Ye Tong nodded pretendingly, then tapped the storage bag on his waist, and a black token appeared. He opened his mouth, and a stream of spiritual energy floated out and hit the token directly.
The token immediately gave off a faint aura.
Ye Tong pointed downwards with the token.
A light curtain covering the entire Huiyuan Shop courtyard immediately appeared, and then the light curtain slowly opened from the center to both sides, opening a gap.
Ye Tong turned around and faced the black stone platform at the front of Overtime.
The flying boat immediately trembled and slowly fell towards the yard.
"boom!"
The flying boat landed on the ground, causing the ground to tremble and stir up a large amount of dust, which landed steadily in the courtyard.
When the smoke cleared, dozens of people immediately gathered around.
"Shopkeeper, you are back."
"Shopkeeper, why are you a few days later than scheduled this time? Did something happen on the road?"
"Yes, there were not four flying boats when we went there. Why is yours the only one coming back this time?"
Ji Liao followed Ye Tong slowly out of the flying boat. People who had been waiting for him immediately gathered around him and asked questions.
"Okay, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Ye Tong was annoyed by the questions and immediately waved his sleeves impatiently.
The venue immediately fell silent, and the people who gathered around immediately looked at each other.
These people have all worked in Huiyuan Store for many years. Although Ye Tong is the shopkeeper, he usually doesn't have the airs of a shopkeeper and doesn't get angry with them easily. But for some reason, the shopkeeper is so unusual this time. There was so much anger that everyone was stunned for a moment.
Ye Tong turned around and glanced at everyone in the venue.
"You, you, you, and you! Go and move the things in the flying boat into the warehouse, be careful not to damage them." After saying that, he turned back and looked at Lu Yan, "Lu Yan, take Zhang Fan and Tie Zhu finds a place to stay.”
"Yes!" Lu Yan immediately raised his hands to Ye Tong, turned around and looked at Ji Liao and Lu Zhu, "Zhang Fan, Tie Zhu, come with me."
"Yeah!" Ji Liao nodded.
"Thank you, Brother Lu Yan." Lu Zhu cupped his hands at Lu Yan and said with a smile.
Lu Yan, who was walking in front, heard Lu Zhu call him Brother Lu Yan. Suddenly he staggered and almost fell, but he stood up straight again and kicked casually, "Where did the stone come from?"
Within a moment, the two of them arrived in front of a small house. Lu Yan reached out and pushed open the door, and a ray of sunlight immediately shone into the small house.
Lu Yan walked in first.
Ji Liao and Lu Zhu followed closely behind.
After entering the hut, Ji Liao looked around and found that the interior decoration was extremely simple, with only two simple slate beds and some trivial things.
Ji Liao frowned and was about to say something when he heard a bang and Lu Yan gently closed the door.
Lu Yan walked along the crack of the window and glanced at the people outside who were busy surrounding Feizhou, then turned around and whispered to Ji Liao and Lu Zhu.
"Two seniors, there is a passage under your bed that leads to an underground secret room. Be sure not to be discovered."
Ji Liao and Lu Zhu looked at each other and nodded.
"Uh... this... this is where you will live from now on. You don't have to do any work today. You should take a rest after traveling for so long. I will come back to you tomorrow." Lu Yan said loudly .
"I know." Ji Liao responded calmly.
"Understood, Lu Yan...Brother!" Lu Zhu raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Lu Yan with a hint of teasing.
Lu Yan's face suddenly turned bitter, and he silently bowed to Lu Zhu a few times, then opened the door as if nothing had happened and walked out.
As soon as Lu Yan went out, he was surrounded by several curious people. They pulled Lu Yan's clothes and asked, "Brother Lu Yan, Brother Lu Yan, why is the shopkeeper so angry when he comes back this time?"
"Hey, didn't the shopkeeper say, don't ask if you don't change the question!" Lu Yan replied impatiently to the person who asked the question.
"Hey, brother Lu Yan, who are these two people?" Someone asked again at this time.
"They are the clerks hired by the shopkeeper in Canglan City." Lu Yan turned around and said.
"Man? What about Brother Wang and the others...?"
"Brother Wang and the others...you should ask the shopkeeper in the future."
"Then what are the names of these two people? Why do I think one of them is injured?"
"The thinner one is called Zhang Fan, and the injured one is called Tiezhu!"
"Iron pillar...!"
"Hahaha, how could someone have such a funny name?"
"Okay, okay, don't ask, I have to go back and take a nap, I'm exhausted!"
"Bang!"
Lu Zhu stepped forward and closed the door. He turned back to look at Ji Liao and smiled lightly, "How about Brother Zhang Fan? Let's sleep first?"
"Brother Tiezhu, please stop snoring!" The two of them arrived safely, and Ji Liao felt relieved and made a rare joke.
Lu Zhu rolled his eyes, "That's exactly what I want to ask you."
After saying that, the two of them fell down on the stone bed and fell asleep.
As night fell, Ji Liao's eyes suddenly opened a slit in his sleep, and a bright light lit up in them.
At the same time, Lu Zhu also opened his eyes, turned over and sat up.
Ji Liao stood up and took a look outside the window, and found that there was no one in the courtyard. Ji Liao then closed the window and turned around and nodded to Lu Zhu.
"Junior Brother Ji, I'll give you a lookout!" Lu Zhu said to Ji Liao.
Ji Liao nodded and pointed slightly at the stone bed.
The bed board, which was about a foot thick, immediately moved half a minute to one side, and a hole with a faint light immediately appeared.
Ji Liao tapped his toes and immediately flew down, and then the bed board closed again.
This corridor is only about ten feet wide. Both sides of the wall are polished with brilliance, and a crystal stone emitting white light is inlaid on it at a distance.
The corridor snaked downwards in a spiral shape. Ji Liao's eyes flickered and he did not dare to explore his consciousness for fear of being sensed by someone with ulterior motives.
"Da da da!"
Ji Liao stepped down the stone steps evenly and slowly.
This corridor is not long, only about ten feet.
Not long after, the slope of the corridor eased, and a stone gate as tall as a person appeared in front of it.
Ji Liao pushed gently with his detective hand, and the stone door slowly opened with a creak, and a secret room about the size of an mu, filled with bright light, appeared in front of Ji Liao's eyes.
Ji Liao stepped in and saw a black square stone pillar more than two feet high standing in the center of the secret room. Many complicated spiritual patterns were carved around the stone pillar on the ground. It looked like it should be a formation. Something like that.
Ji Liao glanced around and saw that there was also a stone pillar standing in each of the four corners of the secret room, but in terms of size, those four stone pillars were much smaller than the one in the middle.
Apart from these, there is nothing else in the entire secret room.
Ji Liao pointed at the stone gate with his extended hand.
The stone door immediately closed slowly.
Just at the stone gate
At the moment of closing, there was only a buzzing sound, and the stone pillar in the center of the secret room suddenly trembled, and a faint brilliance filled the air.
Immediately afterwards, the spiritual patterns carved on the ground also lit up, and then four golden streams of light flew out of it and shot toward the stone pillars at the four corners of the secret room.
The golden light hit the stone pillars directly, and then the four stone pillars also buzzed and trembled. Rays of light shot out from them and quickly traveled on the walls of the secret room, wrapping up the entire stone room in a matter of seconds.
Ji Liao's eyes flashed and he stood in front of the stone pillar with his hands behind his hands.
Not long after, light flashed on the stone pillar in front of him, and a line of golden text appeared on the stone pillar from top to bottom.
"Are you here?"
Ji Liao's eyes flashed, and after a moment's thought, he understood that this was a formation to contact Shendong, but it was not clear who was contacting him on the other end.
"Um!"
After a while, the words on the stone pillar slowly collapsed, and a new text appeared.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know who you are. Your task is to write down the appearance and characteristics of all the foundation-building monks from the Fire Bird Sect near Badie City, and tell me here."
"Um!"
Ji Liao looked at the words appearing on the stone pillar and hummed again.
"The mission lasts for two years. Once the mission fails, no one will respond to you. You must also know the rewards after the mission is completed, so I won't go into details."
"Understood!" Ji Liao responded.
After a while, the light in the secret room disappeared and returned to its previous appearance.
"It's really simple." Ji Liao gave a helpless smile.
After saying that, Ji Liao glanced at the secret room again, then opened the stone door and stepped out.
