At night, Meilong Town is more prosperous and noisy than during the day, with an endless stream of pedestrians in the streets and alleys, and all kinds of shouts and shouts one after another, so that people who have been busy all day can wash away their fatigue.

On both sides of Meilong Town, the shadows of the mountains are undulating, and the forest sea is quiet. Somewhere near the edge, the woods were quiet as if they had lost their life. This silence lasted for a moment, only to be broken by a rustling sound.

In a moment, two thin figures walked out of it, and their bright eyes looked curiously at the lively market town not far away, and the colorful lights illuminated it as if it were day.

"It's finally the light of day again, and after months in the mountains, it's almost back to the original. Some complaining words came out, and the sound seemed to have just developed, and the childishness was not yet shed.

"It's not time for you to retreat, many of the courtyard masters in our sect are hidden in the jungle in the back mountains, regardless of the affairs of the sect, they are in cultivation all year round. The other had a clear, but somewhat lazy voice.

"Damn, I can endure that. The younger one seemed to be very surprised, and said with emotion.

"You, you have to sharpen your temperament. ”

......

These two people, it was Yue Qing and Ji Fan, after learning about the whereabouts of the last map from Yu Guna, the two immediately decided to give up fishing and go back to the mountains and forests to explore actively.

......

On the bustling street, the goods on both sides are dizzying, the two sighed at the prosperity of the street, and slowly washed away the mood that had been silent for several months, and soon the aroma of food suddenly came from the front, and the two had a great appetite, accelerated forward, turned left and right, and entered a snack alley.

On the street, the rich and diverse food stalls are dazzling, the color and taste are good, the air exudes the aroma of all kinds of food, all kinds of people gather together, the enthusiasm of the stall owner shouts, the people on the table draw their fists, feast, the lights are green, drunk and gold, and are used to the loneliness of the deep mountains and old forests, Ji Fan and the two suddenly feel that the hustle and bustle is so refreshing.

Occasionally, I also met a drunk man, standing in the middle of the street holding a wine bottle and swaying, loudly abusing others, and finally confiding in the hardships of life, and then swaying his body and lying on the ground, drunk like mud.

The two found a stall that seemed to be quite quiet and sat down, the stall owner was very enthusiastic, two bowls of noodles, a few dishes of side dishes were quickly put on the table, and Yue Qing even ordered a cup of good wine.

"Uh... Senior brother, isn't there a rule that the sect is not allowed to drink alcohol?" Ji Fan carefully swept around, as if he was afraid that the master would suddenly appear behind him.

"Hahaha, there is wine today and drunk today, regardless of those rules and precepts, come, junior brother, you also take a sip. Yue Qing laughed heartily, and then poured Ji Fan a cup as well.

Ji Fan shook his head and refused, but when the aroma of wine gradually spread in the air, his attitude became hesitant again. After a while, he quietly swallowed a mouthful of spit and whispered, "But I haven't drunk anything?"

"I don't want to taste it until I have drunk it, come on, come on, don't be so serious.

He picked up the glass and put it down, and after hesitating for a long time, he resolutely took the glass and drank it down.

The entrance is sweet, but before he tastes the mellow and gloomy, and then the hot feeling burns his throat from his chest and abdomen, Ji Fan coughed, and after a while, the warmth invaded his whole body, and he looked at the wine jug, and his eyes showed a trace of intoxication.

"It's delicious, hahaha, come and come!" Yue Qing smiled and filled it up for him.

.........

When the wine was half-drunk, Ji Fan's face was flushed, his eyes were full of drunkenness, he staggered, and he was babbling nonsense with a big tongue, what kind of heaven and earth are only respected, which attracted a strange look around.

Yue Qing smiled apologetically at the crowd around him, helplessly using the water attribute aura to drive him away from his drunken spirit.

Cold invasion, Ji Fan gradually came to his senses, scratched his head, remembered the behavior just now, and was suddenly embarrassed.

"I don't think you'd better drink in the future. Yue Qing touched his nose and looked disgusted.

"Uh... Haha, before you know it, I'm drunk. Ji Fan smiled awkwardly and said.

"Well, it's just the right time, let's go, it's time to get down to business. ”

Yue Qing looked at the sky, threw down a few coins, and the two of them left here.

......

Rao Xiang Pavilion is a high-level entertainment place in Meilong Town.

Looking from afar, the door of the Xiangxiang Pavilion is open, the lanterns in it are displayed, under the plaque of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, several young women dressed brightly are showing a moving demeanor to attract passers-by, the sound of the swallow and the warbler are rising and falling one after another in the dark night, frowning and charming, so that the passers-by who are in a hurry have stopped their pace.

"Master, let's have fun!"

"This guest officer, is the slave family good-looking?"

............

The two went their separate ways.

Ji Fan bypassed the front door and found a stall in a good location, the stall owner was napping on the stall table, and when he saw the visitor raise his eyelids, he didn't mean to say hello, and soon sank into the fugue again.

Ji Fan casually picked up the items on the table, walked towards the door of the Rao Xiang Pavilion with his eyes, carefully confirmed every unfamiliar face, and looked for Liu Luo, who matched the face in the information.

There are fewer and fewer passers-by, and the people who come in and out of Rao Xiang Pavilion change a batch, and for a long time, the sky is getting darker, and the so-called Liu Luo figure is not seen, and he can't help but wonder if he has been deceived.

After a long time of failure, he rubbed his sour eyes and looked around, the bustle on the street had passed, but Yue Qing had not returned, and he didn't know where to investigate.

"Whether you can buy things or not, I'm going to close the stall, old man. ”

At this time, the stall owner in front of him also woke up, looked at Ji Fan, who was still standing in front of the stall, and said with a yawn.

"Uh... I'm sorry. Ji Fan smiled apologetically and put down the things in his hand, the stall owner did not look impatient after hearing this, he took care of himself and packed up the items on the stall, Ji Fan was about to leave, at this time, the stall owner said: "Little brother, if you want to inquire about people, go to the town to find a know-it-all, although the fee is charged, it is better than you." ”

Ji Fan was stunned when he heard this, and looked back at the stall owner, but saw that he was already far away pushing the stall cart, and couldn't help frowning, does his actual purpose seem obvious?

For a while, the lights in the Rao Xiang Pavilion were also extinguished, and he was about to look for Yue Qing, when he heard footsteps coming from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that Yue Qing had returned.

"What's the catch?"

Ji Fan shook his head.

"Hey, I don't have much to gain here, after all, you can't ask this blatantly. Yue Qing sighed and said.

"But just now the owner of the stall told me inexplicably that he wanted to inquire about people and find a know-it-all. Ji Fan frowned and said.

"How can the stall owner find out you're watching people?"

At that moment, Ji Fan told him about the situation after he left, Yue Qing rubbed his chin and muttered: "It seems that you have met a master... I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck. ”

looked at Rao Xiang Pavilion again, and found that the lights were mostly extinguished, and two big men who seemed to be clerks were fiddling with the door, it seemed that it was really closing, Ji Fan shook his head, and left side by side with Yue Qing.

And after they left, a certain window on the second floor of the Rao Xiang Pavilion opened with a 'creak', like darkness opening a devouring mouth.

Look carefully, in the window, there is a figure, "he" is facing the direction of Ji Fan and the others leaving, his eyes are flickering, and his dark and half-hidden face looks very penetrating in the cold night.

......

Think about it overnight.

On the second day, the two of them were still ready to listen to the advice of the owner of the stall and look for the town's know-it-all to investigate.

After a lot of twists and turns, the two walked into an alley. There is only one courtyard in the alley, without any house number, and the wooden door painted black is tightly closed, which is the residence of the know-it-all.

Yue Qing stepped forward and knocked politely on the door, and after a while, there was movement in the door, and a person dressed like a shopkeeper poked his head out, frowned and swept the two of them, and after finding no problems, he opened the door and made a gesture of please.

Ji Fan and the others looked at each other, raised their feet and entered it.

In some gray rooms, there is no decoration, Ji Fan swept it, only a simple table and two chairs, the old wall skin fell off, revealing black brick mud, and the whole was quite clean.

There was a dilapidated door in front of him, and the person who looked like a shopkeeper smiled: "I'm sorry two, my master never shows up, please sit here, my master will talk to you inside the door." With that, he pushed open the broken door and walked in.

"Two. ”

After a while, an old voice came from inside the broken door.

"Sir. Out of politeness, Ji Fan and the others arched their hands, and they didn't know if the other party could see it.

"No need to be polite, the two of you are looking for the old man to inquire about things, and you know the rules, right?"

Ji Fan and the others nodded, and on the way, Yue Qing had already informed the rules of the know-it-all, and charged according to the value of things.

"If you want to know anything, ask the young man. ”

"We want to know the information about Liu Luo of the Scorpion Gang. Without much hesitation, Yue Qing asked.

There was silence in the door for a while, and then he said, "Five hundred spirit stones are needed." ”

Ji Fan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he immediately couldn't help but say, "It's so expensive?!"

"You all know the rules, if you want to know the information and keep money, you don't want to know and leave, and you don't bargain. A faint voice came out, and the know-it-all seemed too lazy to speak.

Hearing this, Yue Qing didn't hesitate much, and put down a bag of spirit stones on the table.

Ji Fan opened his mouth, and stopped talking, five hundred spirit stones, if it weren't for the fact that many people sent some loot along the way, it is estimated that neither of them would be able to take it out.

"Young man, don't feel sorry for this spirit stone, what you are planning is worth the price. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the two suddenly changed, Yue Qing's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Can Mr. predict the future?"

"Hehe, don't say it, don't say it. The man in the door smiled lightly to dispel Yue Qing's doubts, and then reported Liu Luo's situation, after a while, the two got up and thanked him, and when he was about to leave, the man behind the door said: "Seeing that you two are so cheerful and generous, the old man will send you another piece of information, today the scorpion helped Liu Luo lead the team into the mountain, whether you can grasp it depends on the fate of the two of you." ”

"Thank you. ”

The two of them thoughtfully, arched their hands, and walked away slowly.

......

"Senior brother, this know-it-all is quite a god, I always feel that he can see through everything. ”

"I'm afraid this man already has some foresight. ”

"With such ability, why did you choose to stay in this barren mountain town? ”

"The high-ranking people have a strange temper, maybe they want to be a hermit. ”

......

The two walked on the busy street, talked in a low voice, walked through the streets and alleys, walked into an inn, sat down in a window position, ordered a few dishes at random, looked out the window not far from a regular courtyard, on the plaque of the high door, outlined three words with silver powder: "Tianxi Gang." ”

"What should I do next?" Ji Fan watched all kinds of people coming in and out under the high door, took a sip of tea, and asked.

Liu Luo led the team into the mountains today, and he had to seize the opportunity. Yue Qing swayed the glass of water in his hand, his eyes glazed.

"I have a way, come over and ......" After a while, the two approached and whispered, Ji Fan was thoughtful, and his eyes became brighter and brighter...

......
