Regarding Shen Muzhi's question, Xuan Cheng thought about it, and said after consideration, "Generally speaking, it is unlikely. There are also rules on this mountain, which I have mentioned to you before, and you should know this. If he makes a move, it will be overstepping. The Kingdom of Jin falls under the jurisdiction of the Great Sword Gate. Even if this old man is really a big man from the Yunze Sect on Daze's side, the Great Sword Sect will not sit idly by. In the jurisdiction of the Great Sword Sect, the people of the Yun Ze Sect came to kill people and left without doing anything, that is, they slapped the Great Sword Sect in the face! The Great Sword Sect is also a famous sect, whether it is out of justice or out of face, it is impossible to swallow this breath. Moreover, although the Yunze Sect ranks relatively high among the mountain sects with various Gu poison secret techniques, in terms of strength, there is still a certain gap compared with the Great Sword Sect. So, as I can deduce, the old man is not here for you. And even if it's really for you, he won't do it himself. ”

Xuan Cheng's words can be regarded as giving Shen Muzhi a reassurance, as long as the old man doesn't take action in person, then if it's just He Jinyan, with Xuan Cheng here, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But as soon as his heart was put down, Xuan Cheng suddenly frowned again and said, "However, if this old man is not here for you, then what is he doing here for? Moreover, such a coincidence!"

Shen Muzhi couldn't answer this question.

Xuan Cheng also knew that Shen Muzhi definitely didn't know about this matter, but he didn't expect him to give an answer, and after thinking for a while, he immediately said, "Okay, you go back and rest first." I'm tired too, I need to take a break, and I'll talk about the rest tomorrow. ”

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he stopped bothering and got up and went back to his room.

Nothing was said all night.

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.

Probably the people in the house went to report to Yu Fucheng, and early in the morning, Yu Fucheng came.

After Shen Wei and he circled around the front yard for a while, he mentioned Wang Qi's matter with him. Yu Fucheng naturally agreed, but when he turned his head, only he knew whether he would try his best to help find it.

Shen Wei didn't rely on him completely, and after Yu Fucheng left, he called Xiao Jiu over and asked him to take two people to look around in and out of the city.

Xiao Jiu and the three of them had just left the house, and Shen Muzhi and Xuan Cheng also planned to go out. Qingguo was left in the mansion by him, accompanying his eldest brother to prevent a sneak attack by the people on He Jinyan's side.

When I passed by the front yard, I happened to meet Shen Wei who was walking back.

After the three of them saluted, Shen Muzhi was about to leave with Xuan Cheng, when Shen Wei suddenly stopped Shen Muzhi, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you." ”

"Then I'll wait for you at the door. Xuan Cheng took the initiative and walked away.

Shen Muzhi looked at his father and asked, "What do you want to say?"

After Shen Wei looked at him with some complicated eyes for a while, a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's nothing, I just want to ask, when can I leave?"

Shen Muzhi hadn't thought about this question for the past two days.

When Shen Wei asked at this moment, he was a little asked.

When do you depart?

In the city, there are many people, and He Jinyan and his people will always be more taboo if they want to do it. But when you go out of the city, it's different.

Now the old man's intention has not been clarified, and Xuan Cheng's words last night were just speculation. What if the old man is really a careless person and just waiting for them to get out of the city?

On this way back to Beijing, there are many places where there are no people in front and behind, and in that kind of place, as long as the other party extinguishes them all, who can know who did it?

Even if the Great Sword Sect wants to investigate this matter, there must be evidence, right? After thinking about it, Shen Muzhi replied, "Let's slow down for the time being." ”

After Shen Wei heard this, he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Shen Muzhi asked, "But what's the situation?"

Shen Wei shook his head, "It's nothing, it's okay." You go get busy first. ”

Shen Wei didn't want to say more, and Shen Muzhi didn't want to ask more, so after saying goodbye to him, he turned around and went to the door to meet Xuan Cheng.

The two walked through the alley and walked onto the street, and when they passed by the fun tea house, Shen Muzhi also said to Xuan Cheng, "The tea in this restaurant is very delicious, do you want to go in and try it?"

Xuan Cheng refused, "Go to Osmanthus Lane to do business first." After saying that, he gave him a blank look.

Shen Muzhi smiled and didn't care.

He was naturally more anxious about business, but Xuan Cheng came all the way, he didn't have any hospitality, and he got up early in the morning to keep the family busy, and he was always a little unhappy in his heart.

The two of them tossed and turned to the mouth of the osmanthus alley, and the cold morning breeze blew out of the alley, cold and cold, wrapped in a rich aroma, which was really sober and intoxicating.

"Take it and stick it to the center of your eyebrows. Xuan Cheng on the side suddenly handed over a talisman. Shen Muzhi took it and took a look, feeling that this talisman was different from all the talismans he had ever seen. The rune paper used in this rune is a kind of hard gold paper, and the rune is much smaller than the normal rune. The runes on it are simply drawn.

After Shen Muzhi glanced at it, he pressed his eyebrows to the center of his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What kind of talisman is this?"

"Pure Heart Talisman. Xuan Cheng watched him put the talisman to the center of his eyebrows, and then reached out and touched it lightly. The white light flashed and disappeared, and a faint golden light suddenly lit up on the talisman, and the rune golden light on it flowed through, turning into a fresh breath that poured into Shen Muzhi's eyebrows, which immediately shocked his spirit.

On the top of the rune, the runes drawn with red cinnabar gradually disappeared. When the runes were completely gone, Xuan Cheng reached out and took off the golden paper rune that had no runes on his eyebrows. As soon as he flipped his hand, the talisman disappeared, and I don't know where he had taken it.

"Why do you use this heart purifying talisman?" Shen Muzhi asked curiously.

Xuan Cheng glanced at the alley and said, "This aroma may be a little problematic." With that, he was already walking into the alley.

Shen Muzhi was not surprised, and hurriedly followed.

This osmanthus alley is long and narrow, and there is no second family in it except for the house in the deepest part of the alley.

Shen Muzhi followed Xuan Cheng all the way in, and only stopped when he looked over the high wall and saw the osmanthus tree in the distance that was higher than the wall.

After staring at the osmanthus tree for a while, Xuan Cheng turned his head and instructed Shen Muzhi, "You wait here." With that, he prepared to move on.

Shen Muyi grabbed him and frowned, "It's better not to go any further, right?"

That old man may be a monk of the Upper Five Realms, so rashly approaching the past, what if he collides?

Shen Muzhi didn't say this, but the meaning was already written in his eyes.

Xuan Cheng smiled and said, "If that old man was in that house, when we were at the mouth of the alley, he would already know." Don't worry, it's okay. ”

Shen Muzhi knew that what he said was true, and after hesitating for a moment, he let go.

Xuan Cheng went to the deepest mansion alone, Shen Muzhi watched from behind, and after a while, he chased after him.

When Xuan Cheng saw him coming up, he frowned and shouted, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Muzhi shrugged, "Anyway, if he is here, he already knows, then there is actually no difference between me coming over and waiting there, isn't it?" Moreover, I am also quite curious about what this He Jinyan's master looks like? Is it really that old man Qu of the Holy Hand!"

Xuan Cheng rolled his eyes and didn't say anything more. The two soon arrived at the door of the house.

On the black gate, there are two copper rings full of traces of time.

Xuan Cheng reached out and grabbed one of the copper rings and lightly buckled it.

"Come in. Soon a clear voice came from inside, and it sounded not like an old man, but like a man in his thirties and forties in the prime of life.

Shen Mu's heart tensed, and he was extremely nervous.

Xuan Cheng was very calm, stretched out his hand and pushed hard, and pushed the door open.

In the small yard, the old osmanthus tree that has lived for many years accounts for almost half of its age.

Under the osmanthus tree, an old man sat alone, staring alone at a chessboard on the stone table.

Xuan Cheng glanced at it and walked inside.

Shen Muzhi hurriedly followed.

It wasn't until the two of them also walked under the osmanthus tree that the old man with a childish face finally raised his gaze from the chessboard and landed on the two of them.

After sweeping Xuan Cheng's deep and quiet gaze, he stayed on Shen Muzhi for a moment. Then, he looked at Xuan Cheng, smiled slightly, and said, "Xuan Cheng Dao Chief, long time no see!"

When Shen Muzhi heard this, his heart was shocked.

Xuan Cheng frowned slightly at this time, his expression was solemn, and he didn't say a word.

The old man didn't care, turned to look at Shen Muzhi, and said with a smile, "Is Shen Muzhi right?"

Shen Muzhi was shocked again.

"How about we make a deal?" Before Shen Muzhi could come back to his senses, the old man spoke amazingly again.

At this time, Xuan Cheng finally spoke, "Why are you here?"

The old man looked away from Shen Muzhi and looked at Xuan Cheng, and asked, "Why can't I appear here?"

"Are you from the Yun Ze Sect now?" Xuan Cheng stared at him for a while, then asked again.

The old man smiled but said nothing.

Xuan Cheng suddenly said again: "Senior brother is dead." ”

The smile on the old man's face froze, and then he lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then muttered, "Good death." ”

"Then why don't you die?" asked Xuan Cheng again, a flash of hatred in his eyes.

The old man raised his head and laughed again, "Xuan Cheng, you have such a mentality, it's unacceptable." ”

Xuan Cheng squinted his eyes, and in his sharp gaze, hatred burned.

The old man no longer looked at him, looked at Shen Muzhi again, and asked, "How are you thinking about it?"

Shen Muzhi's thoughts were chaotic at this time, this moment of hard work shocked him too much, first Xuan Cheng actually met the old man, and then it seemed that there was a relatively deep relationship between the two, and then this old man actually wanted to make a deal with him, didn't that mean that he was still coming for them?

Looking at the old man's seemingly kind and peaceful smile, Shen Muzhi only felt that his scalp was numb and his heart palpitated.

"What deal do you want to make with him?" Xuan Cheng took over the conversation for him.

Shen Muzhi's tense heartstrings loosened slightly.

At least, Xuan Cheng is here.

The old man looked at Xuan Cheng and asked, "You don't want to stay in the empty mountain, why are you here?"

"It's not about you. Didn't you just say that you were going to make a deal? What about the deal? Let me hear about it first. Xuan Cheng seemed to have calmed down, looking at the old man with an expressionless face.

The old man was stunned, then laughed again, and said, "It's okay." It's easy to get things done between acquaintances. The deal was very simple, he handed over the phoenix bird next to him, and I could keep their family safe. ”
