Chapter 587: Huguan
After the two turned the corner, they quickly turned into an alley. Wu Song jumped on the roof and quietly followed.
The alley is deep, about several hundred meters long.
The two walked to the end of the alley before stopping outside a courtyard.
One of them knocked on the door, and after a while, knocked twice in succession. Then, the door creaked open.
An old man's head poked out, looked at the two of them vigilantly, and said, "What are you doing?"
"It's scissors, your master asked us to come. "One of them.
"Come in. The old man stepped out of the way, opened the door a crack, and the two entered in turn.
Wu Song originally just had the mentality of coming and seeing, and didn't really think that there was a problem with these two people. But seeing this, he understood that there was really something wrong with the two.
The question and answer just now, as well as the way the two knocked on the door before, are all codes.
Who are they, and what do they want to do?
Wu Song jumped off the roof and came to the door.
He sensed that there were several not weak Yuan Force fluctuations in the courtyard, and he should be a master hidden in the dark. Wu Song didn't want to startle the snake, so he left the front door and came to the back door.
There were also fluctuations in Yuan Li here, Wu Song went around the courtyard again, and finally found that in one place, there was only one guard.
There was the northeast corner of the courtyard, and a dense jujube tree emerged from the courtyard. The guard was in the date palm tree.
Wu Song quietly came to the outside of the wall, his toes were light, his body jumped up like an arrow, and he climbed the jujube tree.
At this time, Wu Song could see the appearance of the guard. He was dressed in black, and his face was also covered by a black cloth, and only a pair of eyes were exposed, which flashed with ferocity.
Suddenly seeing someone, the guard was startled, and was about to attack, Wu Song took the first step, his right hand stretched out like lightning, and pointed at the person's chest.
The guard only felt a tightness in his chest, and then his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.
Wu Song grabbed the fainted guard and placed him on the trunk of the tree. Then he jumped from a tree and came to the roof.
He looked into the courtyard and saw two guards in front of the door of the west wing, and estimated that it was an important place, so he quietly walked there.
Crossing the roof of the hall and turning the eaves, a strong wind suddenly hit behind him.
Wu Song's body shifted panningly, dodging the sneak attack from behind, and at the same time, his left hand buckled a fragment on the roof under his feet and ejected it.
The guard saw Wu Song dodging, and was about to change his move, but he couldn't move anymore because he didn't have a numb rib. Wu Song flashed to his side and stunned the man with one palm.
Wu Song put down the guard, and then came to the roof of the West Wing. He carefully uncovered a tile and looked into the room.
There were three people inside, and in addition to the two people I had just seen, there was also an old man.
The old man was dressed in a red robe, with a fine head and a long white beard on his chin, looking rich and elegant.
The two sides sat down and seemed to be discussing something.
Wu Song listened attentively, his ears were extremely strong, and the voices of the people in the room could be heard clearly. But what exactly they were talking about, Wu Song didn't know at all.
Because the three of them didn't know what language they used, Wu Song couldn't understand a word.
This can make Wu Song scratch his ears and cheeks in a hurry, but there is nothing he can do, he can't do anything but wait.
About half an hour later, after the three of them finished talking, the two men left first, and then only the old man remained.
Wu Song hesitated for a moment, considering whether to continue to follow the two men or follow the old man.
In the end, he decided that it would be better to follow the old man. Because in the conversation just now, although Wu Song didn't understand their words, judging from his expression, the old man was in a strong position among the three.
Follow him, and you should be able to learn more secrets.
The old man sat in silence in the room, pondered for a while, and then ordered someone to come in, open a cupboard, and take out a wooden box from it.
Then the old man left with the wooden box.
There was a carriage parked at the gate of the courtyard, and the old man got into the carriage, and then the carriage went all the way out of the city.
Wu Song showed his skills and followed the carriage.
After the old man left Moby Dick City, he didn't stop all the way and rushed directly to Coral City.
After entering the city, the old man came to the Coral Mansion.
The carriage stopped in front of the Coral Mansion, and the old man got out of the carriage and walked in.
When the guard at the door saw the old man, he let him in without even asking.
Wu Song couldn't help but feel very surprised, what was the origin of this old man, and why could he enter the Coral Mansion freely?
Wu Song didn't have time to think about it, turned over the wall, and also entered the Coral Mansion, following the old man.
After the old man entered the Coral Mansion, he came to a house and went directly to the top floor.
Wu Song recognized the house, which was the core building of the Coral Mansion, and it was the office and rest place of the city lord of Coral City.
There are several cities on the Middle Island, each of which has a city lord. On top of each city lord, there is the island lord Bei Zhu, who rules the whole island.
Wu Song had spent a few days in the Coral Mansion before, but he had only heard that this house was the place of the city lord, but he had never seen the city lord.
Wu Song was puzzled, jumped and came to the roof of the house.
Because of its location in the ocean, the culture of Nakajie Island has been influenced by both the East and the West, as well as the architecture here.
In Tung Chau, the buildings are almost all enclosed, with completely sealed roofs and only a few windows in the walls. But this is not the case in Xizhou, because some races of the Xizhou demon clan can fly, so many houses are semi-open-air.
The architecture of the Middle Boundary Island has absorbed this feature, and the roof is no longer airtight.
For example, the house where the city lord of Coral City lives has a few stone strips on the roof, and there is no other shelter.
The stone bar is wide, more than half a meter wide. Wu Song crouched on a stone bar and peeked down.
The room below is supposed to be the office of the Lord of Coral City, with bookshelves and tables in it. When the old man came in, he went straight to the table and sat down.
Wu Song was puzzled at first, he originally thought that the old man had come here to meet the city lord of Coral City, but there was no one in the room.
Subsequently, Wu Song understood. The old man is the lord of Coral City, and this is his place.
Thinking of this, Wu Song couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, he faintly felt that he was about to discover an amazing secret.
Soon the servant came in and brought tea to the old man.
The old man sent the servant out, and then took out the wooden box. He was about to open the wooden box, but then looked at the door with a suspicious expression.
He then got up and walked to the door, locking it inside.
Then the old man looked up again, and Wu Song knew that he was worried that there were people in the stone bar above.
The next moment, the old man must have come up to take a look.
Wu Song hurriedly turned his head to look around, and suddenly saw a stone sculpture not far away. The stone sculpture was about half a meter high, and it was a squatting demon beast. Wu Song hurriedly flashed behind the stone carving.
As soon as he hid his body, the old man jumped onto the stone bar.
Sure enough, as Wu Song expected, the old man looked around and carefully inspected the situation nearby.
It is clear at a glance on the stone bars that there is no place to hide people except for the stone carving.
Soon, the old man locked his eyes on the stone carving.
He walked towards the stone sculpture step by step, his eyes full of wariness.
Wu Song had already thought of this situation, and he secretly used Yuan Li to launch the Birth Moon Dafa.
The Birth Moon Dafa can condense the Yuan Force in the ground within a radius of 20 meters, or it can allow Wu Song to manipulate the Yuan Force anywhere on the 20 meters of the ground.
Wu Song used the Birth Moon Dafa to stimulate the Yuan Force on the ground ten meters behind the old man.
On the ground, there's a cabinet. I only heard a 'bang', and under the impact of Yuan Li, one of the legs of the cabinet was broken, and after losing its balance, the cabinet fell to the ground.
It contained some books and stuff, and they all spilled out of the cabinet.
Suddenly there was a noise, which frightened the old man, and he hurriedly flew down to look at the cabinet.
Wu Song took this opportunity, his figure flashed, came to the back of a screen in the room, and hid.
The old man looked at the cabinet and found nothing, so he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
This cabinet is good, why did it suddenly break?
He stood in front of the books and the collapsed cabinets, and muttered for a long time.
At last the old man returned to the table, picked up the wooden box, and walked briskly out of the room.
The old man was wary by nature, and no matter how the cabinet collapsed, he had developed a sense of insecurity, so he did not want to stay in the house any longer.
Wu Song walked out from behind the screen, came to the window, and waited for a while, but did not see the old man walking into the courtyard.
Wu Song estimated that the old man should have gone to another room.
In that case, there would be no way for him to follow the old man anymore.
Since he could no longer follow the old man, Wu Song went to meditation in the house to see if he could find any useful information.
Wu Song first came to the desk where the old man was working, and it was piled up with all kinds of papers.
Wu Song flipped through a few books, all of which were daily affairs in Coral City.
Then, Wu Song's gaze fell on a water cup next to him.
In that cup is a yellowish tea, judging by the color, it should be yesterday's tea. In the tea, there are a few black pieces of shards. It's easy to see that it's the residue left behind by the burnt paper and the tea water.
Wu Song's heart moved, and he slowly grabbed the pieces from the tea, and then spread them out on the table.
Ordinary paper, after being burned and then thrown into tea, basically turns into powder when touched. Fortunately, however, the paper used for these fragments is very tough, and even after being burned and flooded, the mutilation still has a certain resilience.
Wu Song carefully put together the pieces of paper, and finally put together half a note.
The handwriting on it was naturally unrecognizable, and Wu Song looked at it for a long time, and could only recognize the two words Huguan.
Wu Song was still looking at the note carefully, when he suddenly heard footsteps at the door, hurriedly put the fragments back into the teacup, and then quickly jumped onto the stone.
A moment later, the servant came in. She began to gather the books on the floor, and in a few moments several men arrived and began to repair the cabinet.
These people should have been called by the old man, Wu Song estimated that the old man would not return here in a short time, so he left.
