As soon as the seventh lunar month passed, the weather was finally no longer so hot, and the days were getting shorter, and the cicadas in the yard were quieter.

It had been several days since Bai Xiu returned to Qucheng, and he had hardly ever gone out except for necessary purchases.

First, he was afraid of missing the person he met, and secondly, the Bai family's bounty order had already been sent to Qucheng, and if he accidentally bumped into a cultivator searching for him or even someone from the special event team, it would be troublesome.

It's just a matter of precaution, and what should come is still coming.

That night, after ten o'clock, Bai Xiu turned out of a hidden corner in the backyard - in order to avoid people's eyes, he couldn't use the things at home for the time being, and he could only eat and drink outside.

However, he didn't go to a few nearby stores, after all, their neighborhood is very quiet, and if someone is watching nearby, he will be able to go there to be a net.

So he walked through the streets and alleys to Binjiang Road, the most prosperous area in Qucheng, and blended into the crowd of tourists wandering around the street.

After making sure that no one was following him, Bai Xiu entered a convenience store as if nothing had happened, and he was just about to pick out something, when a wave of spiritual power suddenly became active near him.

can be surveyed by him, the opponent's strength is bound to be inferior to him, but this spiritual power fluctuation is not one, but three, surging from three directions, front, back, left, respectively.

To his right was a wall, that is, the man had blocked all his retreats.

Bai Xiu pretended to check the product labels on the shelves, and only looked at them with his eyes without a trace.

These are three young men, two men and one woman, younger than Fang Xin, by no means more than twenty years old.

Maybe because of this, they didn't cover it up well, even if Bai Xiu didn't catch their spiritual power fluctuations, just by looking at it, he could see that they were besieging him.

With a thought in his head, he walked quickly towards the most panicked girl, and sure enough, she looked at the other two at a loss, and forgot to stop her for a moment.

As soon as Bai Xiu crossed her, he immediately walked out of the small shop, he was not afraid of these three fledgling young people, but for other reasons - since they had already appeared here, their elders were afraid that they would not be too far away.

Once there are many people, it will be difficult for him to get out.

In fact, Bai Xiu's estimation was still too optimistic, as soon as he left the store, a figure deceived him, and the spiritual power in his hand was about to kill him.

How could Bai Xiu do what he wanted, block the Demon Breaking Blade hidden in his arms, and quickly let it go, that person still wanted to make a move, but unfortunately there were several people between them.

Seeing that he bared his teeth in anger, but did not continue the pursuit, Bai Xiu understood a little, these people probably did not dare to make a move in front of the public, so as not to cause a riot.

However, he still had doubts in his heart, the cultivation of these four people was obviously not particularly high, how did they find him?

Have they been lying in ambush here?

If so, then things would be a bit of a problem, because it meant that there were far more cultivators who came to Qucheng to hunt him down than he expected, and they had to score points and squat to defend it.

Thinking like this, he didn't buy anything, and retreated back in the crowd, but before he reached the door, there was already a sound of people in the yard.

He had already been mentally prepared, and he didn't panic at this moment, turned around and climbed the courtyard wall, and then sneaked to the roof of the living room.

It was also a pity that this house was an old-fashioned brick and wood house, so he carefully lifted a few tiles and drilled into the mezzanine between the ceiling and the roof, and carefully squatted down on the beams.

Not long after, a middle-aged man scolded angrily: "Damn, run away for him, the person just left!"

Someone was relieved: "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, since he has made an appointment to meet here, he will definitely come back." ”

Bai Xiu was a little surprised, how did these people know that he had made an appointment to meet at home?

Immediately, he reacted, do you still need to think about it, it must be Fang Xuanqian who spread the news, even if they can't catch him, they can cause him trouble.

No wonder so many cultivators came to Qucheng...... But can he alone make so many people gather here?

Of course not.

I'm afraid it's still Fang Xuanjian's ghost, as long as she reveals the news of the robbery of the Heaven and the fragments of the Robbery of the Tripod, and the fragments of the Robbery of the Tripod are all in his hands, some people are eager to rush to it.

This move was too ruthless, not only allowing him to block the competition from all sides, but also allowing other insiders to confide in the news, so that the remaining fragments of the Tribulation Tripod could be seen again.

Sure enough, he heard the middle-aged man say again: "This time, our 'Fulong Dao' bet won the other 'Three Mountains and Six Dao' before we had the opportunity to come in and squat, and it can be regarded as offending Miss Yan, if we can't get something, it will be a big loss!"

Bai Xiu had never heard of it, and there was no doubt that they were pushed out by some people to test his aunt's tone.

If she annoys her, the so-called three mountains and six ways are cannon fodder, and if she doesn't interfere, then what awaits him will be heaven and earth.

He thought about it and soon had an idea, and was about to leave, but there was a stump under his feet—he seemed to have stepped on something.

Bai Xiu reached out and touched it, this should be a box, and there was a shallow groove on the beam that could prevent it from falling.

At first, he thought it was a disgusting thing when he was repairing the house, and he wanted to ignore it, but his heart throbbed inexplicably, and he picked it up by surprise.

The box was the size of a pencil case, very light, and he couldn't measure what was inside, so he simply crawled out of the mezzanine first.

There were still a lot of people walking around in the courtyard, Bai Xiu didn't dare to stop more than when he turned out of the yard, and finally returned to the downtown and took a taxi to the south of the city.

The south of the city is much more deserted than the north of the canal, and Bai Xiu is afraid of having a "tail", so he gets off the bus when he doesn't reach the destination.

He walked around for almost half an hour before finally stopping at the bottom of a building.

The small villa in front of him was the wedding room prepared by Ye Xuan and Wei Wei before they quarreled, and later, because the community here had not been fully developed, they only came to see it occasionally - he might be able to avoid the limelight here.

Bai Xiu repeated his old tricks, climbed over the fence lightly, saw the vacancy, pried open a window and got in.

In the past two years, they have gathered less and left more, and the house has been simply renovated, and there is very little furniture or anything, which is convenient for Bai Xiu to walk in the dark.

He found a flashlight in the living room, saw that it still worked, and took it into a room.

This is the master bedroom on the second floor, and there is still not much furnishing inside, except for a bed, a wardrobe and a bedside table, on which a picture frame is placed as decoration.

Bai Xiu walked over to take a look, and laughed for a while, it was not a wedding photo of the two, but a group photo of the three of them.

In the photo, he and Ye Xuan stood in the shade of a tree with their shoulders hooked, and Wei Wei very funny stuck a head out of their arms, and did not forget to grin and make a grimace.

Bai Xiu had long forgotten when this photo was taken, but he inevitably remembered some past events and couldn't help but be distracted.

Of course, now is not the time for him to be in a daze.

Bai Xiu retracted his gaze, found a corner away from the door and window and sat down, took out the box and looked at it carefully for a few seconds.

As previously estimated, it's not big, and the material is very ordinary, like someone who put it on it.

But for some reason, he suddenly became a little nervous, as if he was snooping on someone's secret.

Bai Xiu took a deep breath and slowly opened the box, it was very empty, only a few pieces of paper, he picked up one of them and opened it flat to look at it.

This is a person's birth certificate, this person's name is Zheng Ruyi, his father's name is Zheng Guanshan, his mother's name is Cheng Yanyan, his birthplace is a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the date of birth recorded on it is only one day later than his birthday!

Is this a coincidence?

Bai Xiu subconsciously denied this.

Their house was built by Bai Yan himself, and he couldn't think of anyone else who would put these things on it except her.

But why did his aunt secretly store the birth certificate of a person who was only a day younger than him?

He suddenly remembered Fang Xuanqian's previous words.

She said that his parents had been purposefully selecting people who were suitable for transplanting that spirit, could it be that his experiments would not have been successful, so his parents found a newborn child to replace him?

Then they sent the child away, and all this was seen by his aunt, she quietly saved the evidence so that she could settle accounts with them later, who knew that they would never return, and she could not find the person to confront her, so she sealed it on the beams of the house?

Bai Xiu temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and picked up the second piece of paper.

This seems to be a letter, with only a few words on it: "The incident of the twenty-second day has been raised, and xx is suspected of being a mole." ”

Twenty-two!

This is a date that Bai Xiu is so familiar with, that's right, the battle of the Maple Leaf Forest, which caused the Phoenix Sect elite to lose most of it twenty years ago, happened on that day!

Judging from the contents of the letter, his aunt has been investigating the matter and has found the most crucial clues.

It's a pity that the name was deducted, and he can only ask her later.

Bai Xiu stared at the last piece of paper, hesitated for a moment, but spread it out and looked at it.

"Bai Xiu, I don't know if I should tell you those things for twenty years, if you know the truth, maybe ......"

Although he only read the first sentence, he was already extremely surprised in his heart, he never expected that this second letter was actually written to him by Bai Yan.

He hurriedly turned up the flashlight a little, and was about to peruse it, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door.

Bai Xiu subconsciously extinguished the flashlight, a little surprised.

He had checked when he looked for the flashlight before, and there was no possibility that there was anyone else hiding in the house, which meant that the other party only came in while he was checking the documents.

This is strange, he didn't hear any movement just now, if this person can break in quietly, why is there such a big movement now?

Was it intentional?

Or did he lose his previous caution when he saw that there was no one in the house?

Could this be a trap?

Bai Xiu hesitated to go over and take a look, and the footsteps turned and went straight to the first floor.

Immediately after, he heard a rustling movement in the living room, as if the man was rummaging through something.

"Not for me?"

Bai Xiu's heart was suspicious, the other party was so powerful, Ye Xuan and Wei Wei were just two ordinary people, what could be something worth coveting here?

Thinking that he carefully dived, but he didn't dare to get too close, just glanced at it from afar.

And it was this glance that made him realize that things were not simple, because the person in front of him was actually an acquaintance.

Not only cooked, but also ......

In the dim flashlight, Ming Yuchu slowly stood up, her brows were tightly locked, as if she had encountered some problem, and after standing for a while, she turned her eyes and searched around.

Bai Xiu hurriedly took a step back, and subconsciously grabbed the dead wood spring talisman in his pocket, not knowing how to face her for a while.

When he was distracted, another soft sound came from there, and listening to the movement, it should be that Ming Yuchu moved a floor tile.

Did she find the basement?

Such a thought popped up in Bai Xiu's mind.

In fact, this is not completely surprising to him, after all, most people in Qucheng have a habit of digging a cellar under their houses to store fruits, vegetables, rice and other things.

But in this way, things are getting more and more weird, what are you doing in the cellar of Ye Xuan's house at the beginning of Ming Xu?
