Gusu is the capital of the Wu Kingdom, a prosperous place east of the Yangtze River. The father-in-law of a hoe came to Gusu to buy a village. Normally no one would pay attention to this, but after casting a net to investigate, it was inevitable that he would come into the sight of Jixia Academy.
What he didn't expect was that Jixia Academy would be so quick and the lock would be so precise. Wu Sheng felt for a moment that Yu Fengxing, who was in charge of the investigation, was really a person!
Although the father-in-law of Hoe He committed suicide and did not reveal the news about other people, as long as Jixia Academy finds out the identity of the father-in-law of Hoe He and knows his nickname when he was in Langshan, he will naturally be able to find out about Shimen and Taohuaniang. , it is reasonable to go to Langshan to ask for Peach Blossom Girl. As for Wu Sheng, he had nothing to do with him in the first place. He was completely betrayed by Yanbo Sou's voice. From this point of view, Yan Bosu deserved to die.
The above is the conclusion speculated by the three people after discussion.
But Taohua Niang said: "Before my father-in-law was arrested, I noticed someone was watching me, so I hid in Langshan to look for pine and bamboo. Why is this?"
Shi Men asked in detail, and after listening to Peach Blossom Girl's story, he frowned and remained silent.
Wu Sheng asked: "Boss Shi, where have you been hiding for the past six months? Where did you get the news and come to rescue us?"
Suddenly I heard a burst of sobbing, but it turned out that Master Dongsun had woken up. He had been eavesdropping for a long time and finally confirmed that he was completely involved in the Pengcheng robbery. He couldn't help but feel sad.
As long as he didn't scream at the top of his lungs, everyone ignored him and continued talking.
Shimen pondered for a moment and then said, "I'm in Linzi."
Wu Sheng immediately admired him immensely. He raised his thumb and praised: "Boss Shi, you are so tall. It's so dark under the lamp! But only Boss Shi has the courage and courage. If it were me, even if I knew this trick, I wouldn't be able to do it." I don’t dare to do it either.”
Linzi is the capital of the Qi State and the location of the Jixia Academy. It is the center of the world. No wonder Shimen is well-informed. Wu Sheng even suspected that he had something to do with the big shots of the Qi State. However, people did not tell them and it was inconvenient to ask.
The question now is where to go. Shimen suggested that Taohua Niang and Wu Sheng should not stay in the Central Plains any longer, and either go to the Qin State west of the Yaoshan Mountain, or go to the land of Bashu, or at the worst, they should go south, to the south of Chu State adjacent to Baiyue, Take refuge in those remote and wild places in Yangpu.
In those remote and wild places, Jixia Academy's hand cannot reach that far, and Chu, Qi and Xu have no energy to go there and conduct large-scale arrests. Even if they go to arrest after hearing the news, they will not set up a large-scale arrest like in the Central Plains. Dragnet.
But this determination is not easy to make. Let alone the danger, only the accident. The lack of spiritual elixirs to heal wounds and the lack of magical weapons to supplement make it difficult to persevere.
In addition, it is difficult to communicate about spiritual practice. When practicing in deep mountains, forests or remote places, you often get stuck when encountering some difficulties. At this time, you need to go out more and exchange ideas with other monks, otherwise it will be difficult to gain insights. Be transparent.
Of course, the most daunting thing is the huge risk. Since it is a remote and wild place, it means that a lot of resources are missing. It is extremely difficult to survive in an environment where monsters are rampant, poisonous weeds are luxuriant, and miasma is everywhere. Don’t you see, there are not even one out of ten people who have opened up the barbaric wilderness. There are natural treasures in the wilderness, but you have to use your life to find them, right?
Shi Men said: "It's just to avoid the limelight temporarily. After three to five years, when the academy puts the case on hold, you can come back."
The peach blossom girl was very timid: "You can't come back if you go there. I'm from the Chen country. There are two famous swordsmen in my hometown. They went to Bashu nine years ago. They agreed to only go for a year, but they haven't returned yet. I heard he died there.”
Shimen said: "Maybe it won't take three to five years... This case is just an ordinary robbery. It is not a matter of Jixia Academy. Yu Fengxing will not waste his energy on it..."
While he was talking, Master Dongzhan next to him suddenly said: "There is a strange bird."
Shi Men was still saying: "I'll prepare some elixirs and magic weapons for you. You don't have to go deep into the wilderness, just stay on the edge temporarily..."
Peach Blossom Girl asked eagerly: "Boss Shi, won't you go with us?"
Master Dong Bamboo: "It fell down again...there is really a strange bird!"
Shi Men considered it carefully and said: "I...can't join you yet, I need to go back to Linzi..."
Wu Sheng sighed: "Boss Shi, if you don't take us away, Peach Blossom Girl won't go."
Peach Blossom Girl admitted generously: "Boss Shi, don't leave again!"
Shimen remained silent, and Peach Blossom Girl almost begged: "Boss Shi..."
Master Dongzhan: "The strange bird is flying again!"
This time, everyone finally turned their heads and saw a strange bird flying high on the top of a mountain in the distance. The bird was not big and far away. It was just a small dot in the sky. If you didn't look carefully, it would be Just like an ordinary goshawk, there really is nothing weird about it.
But it is indeed weird. Its wings are always waving up and down at a steady frequency, neither fast nor slow, and non-stop.
Wu Sheng murmured: "This is not a bird... made artificially..."
Shi Men stared at it for a moment, frowning, and suddenly he woke up and shouted: "No! This is the Heavenly Bamboo Magpie made by Master Pan!"
Wu Sheng asked: "Who is Pan Master?"
Shimen grabbed Peach Blossom Girl and started groping her body. Peach Blossom Girl was shocked and ashamed: "Boss Shi, this is..."
Shimen said anxiously: "Master Pan is the weapon refiner of Jixia Academy... I have only heard about the Tianzhu Que. It is said that you can check the whereabouts of people. I just hope this is not the Tianzhu Que..."
Wu Sheng also understood and said: "Peach Blossom, don't move... Is there any sealed Qi in the sea of Qi in your body?"
But Peach Blossom Girl didn't understand: "What kind of sealing energy? There is no..."
But Shi Men suddenly pulled out a silk thread from the corner of her skirt. This silk thread was like a living thing. It was still circling and struggling on Shi Men's fingertips. It was horrifying to see.
Shi Men couldn't help but shoot out a ball of flame from his fingertips, and immediately burned the thread to ashes, his face turned black: "It's really Tianzhu Que, our whereabouts have been exposed!"
Sure enough, that day, four monks immediately appeared on the top of the mountain below the Bamboo Magpie. Each of them jumped down the mountain and rushed towards this side.
Peach Blossom finally understood: "They are hiding something on me?"
Shimen took the winter bamboo shoot to his side and inspected him for a moment, but without enough time to confirm, he burned his outer robe. At this point, Shimen didn’t waste any more time and shouted: “Let’s go!”
Several people followed him and headed southwest.
The four monks who had just rushed towards them came up the mountain soon, checked and searched for clues, and finally found the place where Wu Sheng and the others were just now.
One of them picked up a smear of black ash from the grass, carefully identified it and said, "Tianzhu Silk, they found it."
Another monk also squatted on the ground and said: "There are some here too."
After confirming, the three of them searched the spot, and one of them rushed outside the mountain. In a forest outside the mountain, Luo Xingxing was sitting on the ground, with a parchment map spread out on his lap.
