Xiaochen pretended to reminisce and said: "On my way to the Unbounded Abyss, I once passed by a cliff and found the skeleton of a senior inside. The specific location cannot be verified. There is a broken stone tablet that records the Four words for the dragon statue.”
Shen Yilin was listening very seriously. When Xiaochen stopped narrating, she was extremely anxious, but she did not interrupt.
"Actually, there is a broken route on that stone slab. After I heard what you said, I wondered if it was a coincidence, so I asked you to take out the map and compare it with me, and it turned out to be a perfect match!" Xiao Chen He looked at her calmly and spoke slowly.
Although there are still some loopholes in this argument, it shouldn't be too big... Besides, it's just speculation. It's the best that can be found. If you can't find it, there's nothing you can do about it.
"Where is it?" Shen Yilin said anxiously and quickly brought the map closer.
Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of stone carvings cannot be put into storage bags, and they are hundreds of meters high. If you want to transport them, you will most likely need to use waterways, that is, the Luohe River from outside Tianshui City to Kuiliang City.
Xiaochen pointed to a section of waterway and said: "This is the Luohe waterway. The route on the stone slab breaks and stops at the mountains behind Kuiliang City."
Hearing Xiaochen's words, Shen Yilin hurriedly looked at Luo He, with unsteady thoughts in her eyes.
"If the route of the stone slab is correct, then searching along this section of the Luo River should yield results. However, it is not ruled out that the dragon stone carvings may be hidden in other places, but..."
Before Xiao Chen finished speaking, Shen Yilin continued: "But as long as they want to transport the Shenlong stone carvings to Langshan behind Kuiliang City, waterway is the most convenient and easiest to hide. Even if it is buried, There’s a good chance it will be nearby.”
"And water freight runs through the Three Realms. Even if it has been transported away, there will definitely be clues about such a huge thing." Shen Yilin's thoughts were running very fast, and she quickly said everything Xiaochen wanted to say next. .
Xiaochen didn't speak any more. This was all he could guess. The scope was narrowed down a lot, but it was still troublesome to find.
"Brother Xiao, do you still remember where the cave is?" Shen Yilin asked.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Xiao has already told me everything I remember."
"Sorry, Brother Xiao, I was overthinking." Shen Yilin immediately said apologetically, if the other party didn't want to tell, then there wouldn't be any clues. Now that there is news, whether it's true or false, let's go search first Well, this is much better than looking around like a headless fly.
"Brother Xiao is so helpful and I still question him. It's really inappropriate." Shen Yilin thought to herself.
Then Shen Yilin looked at Xiaochen and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiao, this matter is of great importance. I hope it will be kept secret. You must not tell anyone else. If you encounter a traitor, it will be ruined."
"I understand, I believe Miss Shen's decision to select talents." Xiaochen said looking into Shen Yilin's eyes.
Shen Yilin immediately felt guilty, feeling that Xiaochen could tell her this regardless of past grudges. He was an extremely sincere person and she was not as good as him.
"Brother Xiao, I'll leave first. This matter is important. I want to inform the clan elders as soon as possible. Brother Xiao can use this elegant room as he pleases." Shen Yilin thought for a while and then said: "If this matter is true, Xiao Brother Xiao should be the first to contribute, Yan Kingdom will not forget every hero, brother Xiao can rest assured, I will leave first."
Seeing Xiao Chen nodding, Shen Yilin didn't stop for a moment, quickly walked out of the box and left. Soon after, the sealing formation in the box also dissipated.
Seeing Shen Yilin leaving in a hurry, Xiaochen was still deep in thought. It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. He has already told the clues. If he can't find them again, there is nothing he can do. This is a business without capital. Favor is the best.
He needs these favors, that's all.
The voice of the dancing girl and singer came again.
"Master Nan, how credible do you think his words are?" Shen Yilin stood on the fast-moving bamboo boat.
Master Nan appeared from the bow of the ship and said, "That boy lied. There is no such cave at all."
Shen Yilin didn't answer. Naturally, she heard the flaw, but she didn't try to expose it. It was already great if the other party could provide clues.
"Miss, why don't you put him under house arrest? The matter of the dragon stone carving is not trivial." Master Nan's words came faintly.
After hearing this, Shen Yilin frowned and flatly refused: "No, first of all, Xiaochen's origins are extraordinary and cannot be neglected. Secondly, if such an act is spread, how will the world view our Yan country and our Shen family."
Master Nan fell silent after hearing this.
"Besides, I don't think Brother Xiao is hiding anything. If he doesn't want to say it, there's no need for him to say it." Shen Yilin continued.
The wind in the dark night was particularly loud, whistling by.
At this time, the atmosphere on Baihefang became more and more solemn, accompanied by the melodious and somewhat melancholy sound of the flute. She was wearing a golden silk chain and a gauze hanging close to her body. The bright moon had white skin and red lips like fire. That beautiful figure just walked onto the stage.
"Junior Brother Wu, come here, look, Yan'er is here!" Yu Jihua shouted excitedly. The reputation of the Golden Lotus of the Yan Kingdom is worthy of its name.
Wu Ping was also stunned, watching the figure dancing gracefully, and then stared blankly.
The world of mortals is like fire, far beyond the imagination of the young man in the mountains.
Yan'er smiled softly, and the flute sound behind him became slightly softer before he said, "Yan'er pays homage to the guests present. Let Yan'er welcome you all with a song of Spring Flowers and Autumn Nights!"
At this time, everyone discovered that a seven-stringed guqin had been placed in front of Yan'er.
Wu Ping only turned his gaze slightly away at this time. Beauty is beautiful, but practice is obviously more important.
"I just appreciate it. Master said that traveling around the world is also a kind of practice..."
Yu Jihua picked up the wine glass and drank while being served by several maids around him, feeling very happy.
He glanced at the deserted Wu Ping beside him, shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Wu, you are still not clear-minded. Only when you walk among flowers without a leaf touching you can you be cool and unrestrained!"
After hearing this, Wu Ping lowered his head, waved his hand and said, "Senior brother Yu's realm doesn't understand. I only know that master teaches that women's lust is like fire, like the flames that burn the body, and I don't want to be contaminated."
Yu Jihua smiled, teased the maid in his arms, and didn't force anything.
"Young Master! Young Master! Look at that woman, she is so beautiful, just like the bright moon in the night sky. As soon as she appeared on the stage, all the women before her were eclipsed!" Ling'er was eating fruit at this time, and the woman playing in the center of the stage made her extremely excited. envious.
Xiao Chen looked at the woman whose body was shining with gilded light. He was a little surprised when he saw her appearance clearly. This woman was indeed soft and beautiful, and the sound of the piano she played also had a unique flavor. There seemed to be rouge perfume coming to her face during the sound of the piano. , there seemed to be a series of beautiful figures appearing in front of her, gently surrounding her at this time.
The sound of the piano is similar to the human world, and it also attracts people's hearts. It quickly makes people intoxicated.
Ling'er watched Xiao Chen stare at the figure and ignore her, slightly curling up the corner of his mouth. He didn't want to come at first, but now he was looking at it more intently than she was.
"Hypocritical stone! But..."
After calmly enjoying the song, the sound of the piano was indeed very accomplished. Xiao Chen also nodded secretly. If it were a comparison of piano skills, this woman would probably be only inferior to that charming figure in his heart.
After the song ended, Xiaochen came back to his senses and looked at Ling'er. He seemed to have heard something she said just now...
Ling'er quickly changed the subject and asked curiously: "Sir, do you really know the news about the dragon stone carving?"
Xiaochen nodded first, then shook his head and said, "I just heard some rumors."
"Why did the young master tell her that she also caused the young master to get hurt!" Ling'er was still a little dissatisfied with this.
"It's just what you want, it's just that little butterfly flapping its wings." Xiaochen said this with some emotion. It was indeed what he wanted, but if he could gain favor from the Yan Kingdom, that would be even better. There is no such thing as too much favor.
"Butterfly, wings? What are you talking about, Master???" Ling'er was making tea, unable to understand the words, and looked confused.
Xiaochen thought for a moment, looked at Ling'er and explained: "The butterfly in the southern country flaps its wings slightly, and a hurricane that spreads thousands of miles may spread in the northern country thousands of miles away."
"What and what!" Ling'er glanced at Xiaochen in confusion, feeling that what he said was very difficult to understand and she couldn't understand it.
After glancing at Ling'er, Xiaochen secretly thought: This stupid girl... then didn't speak again.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the box.
"He'er, the maid of Baihefang, is here to deliver pen and ink to the scholar."
"Enter!"
After hearing this, He'er pushed the door open and went in. After placing the rice paper with ink and ink on the table, he said: "This young master, the next step is the literary fairy written test of Baihefang Oiran. If you have any feelings or thoughts, you can Write it on paper and compete for the title of Literary Immortal!"
Ling'er looked at Xiaochen. She thought of the poem Xiaochen wrote when they were on the flower boat, and she was looking forward to it now.
Xiaochen just shook his head slightly and said, "I have no idea."
He'er was a little disappointed after hearing this, and left after apologizing.
As soon as the Wenxian written examination came out, the oiran song and dance came to an end. Looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, Xiaochen said: "Let's go, we should go back!"
"Ah! Young master, please wait a little longer and watch the Wenxian competition, please!" Ling'er begged.
"It's been two hours. If you want to know the name of Wenxian, just ask around tomorrow morning. It's a waste of time to wait any longer." Xiaochen just said calmly.
"Okay!" Ling'er didn't say anything after hearing this, lowered her head and left after him.
In another private room, Ouyang Jinse was gearing up. After waiting all night, it was finally time.
"Hehe! I don't believe you can lose this piece of Yun Jian Qin Yue."
"This music can only exist in heaven and can be heard several times in the human world. Although it is inconsistent to describe the music of the human world, Yan'er knows more than this."
Less than a moment after the maid brought in the rice paper, Ouyang Jinse finished writing the entire poem in a eloquent manner. He handed it to the maid without blushing or heartbeat and said: "This poem is for Yan'er, so I will use Yunqin as my pen name!"
The maid put away the rice paper. Although she was surprised by how quickly the person in front of her started writing, she quickly put away her emotions, lowered her head and left.
After the two of them walked back to the inn, Shopkeeper Dong looked up at the two of them with a strange expression, and then continued to fiddle with his abacus.
Xiao Chen didn't care anymore, but when he was in the wrong body, he noticed this scene, and then his heart moved.
"It should be soon... At this time, they should also know that they, a casual cultivator, have obtained the Haiyuan Order."
