At two o'clock in the middle of the night, after the two left the station, they couldn't find a taxi or a black car for the time being, so they walked all the way to find a nearby small hotel to deal with it overnight and then catch the next day's train to Suifenhe City.

"Are you really not cold?" Xiao Ran couldn't help but look at Ji Yiming as he walked: "It's more than ten degrees below zero, I don't feel it at all?"

The latter, carrying a backpack, was the first to see a "hotel" sign hundreds of meters away, and casually responded: "It's cold, but it's not to the point where you can't stand it...... Since I was a child, I was not afraid of the cold, probably because of my physical condition. ”

Xiao Ran didn't say anything more, just looked at him with a little more exploration in his eyes.

When I saw a scene in the gym that day, was it really a visual misalignment due to angle problems?

If it is really as I guessed, the turning point of "that incident" may have to fall on the poor student in front of him. A sense of anticipation rose in her heart, and the heavy mood that had never been revealed seemed to ease a little.

In the cold wind of Harbin City at night, Ji Yiming, who was dressed lightly and simply, and Xiao Ran, who was carrying a backpack and dragging a large suitcase, walked to the front of the hostel for more than ten minutes, knocked on the door, opened two small single rooms in the strange eyes of the night attendant, and went back to their rooms to rest.

After returning to the room, Xiao Ran set the alarm clock for the next day and fell asleep by herself, but her face was still full of worries, and she still seemed to be full of worries about the upcoming trip to Suifenhe. As for Ji Yiming in the small room next door, he just sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the silver array disk in his hand and began to restore the inner breath of the "Taiyi Longevity Formula" in the meridians.

Ever since he discovered that his realm had been slowly declining with the passage of time, this silver array had never left his body again. Before coming out this time, he grabbed a handful of Southern Red Agate Beads from his small suitcase, which was enough to consume no matter how he calculated - as long as he didn't fight, one of these top-quality beads could at least withstand the natural wear and tear of an entire month.

……

……

What Ji Yiming didn't know was.

Since he consulted Professor Ji Daoyan about Jiang Zhiyou's "password", he is still halfway from Hanzhong City to Suifenhe, a small border city in northeastern China...... Undercurrents have begun to surge.

Many citizens found that on the originally empty Ussuri Street, many unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared in the freezing cold of more than ten degrees below zero, still dressed in thin clothes and hurrying. Several of the more upscale hotels are fully booked or reserved, and the underground car park has a lot of luxury cars with license plates from different provinces.

These people did not come to do business or travel, but to wander around the streets and mountains in groups, as if searching for something. And when they met each other occasionally, they were all cold, and they separated with a tacit understanding and there was no conflict.

Ji Yiming was still on the road for just one day, and this group of strangers almost walked through the entire Suifenhe City, but they didn't know if they had "found" what they wanted......

The only quasi-four-star hotel in the city, the top floor of the "Sunrise International Business Hotel".

The first-to-arrive "Yandao" organization preemptively chartered all the top suites. Four or five senior leaders and a dozen backbone forces were sitting together swallowing clouds and spitting fog, the whole room was so full of smoke that it was almost impossible to see any figure, seven or eight ashtrays on the table were full of leftover cigarette butts and ashes, and even the map of Suifenhe projected on the wall was almost invisible: there were many red* fields dotted on it, and almost the entire map had been filled.

"Just for the name of Jiang Zhiyou, we all ran here...... Isn't that a bit of fanfare?"

One of the old men's entire face was shrouded in smoke, and there was a hint of hesitation in his voice: "Nothing is small, but there are four or five cultivator organizations gathered in this small city at the same time, almost a large* bucket, which is even more exaggerated than in Cixi City before. If a conflict breaks out by accident, God knows what will happen!"

The other person beside him silently snorted coldly: "Shanglin Lake Ancient Kiln City is our luck, although we lost a few disciples, we got the shared harvest of Qianlong Yuan." There are more than 40 formation maps, which is almost the biggest harvest since the founding of the People's Republic of China - Haichao has made great contributions, and has also established friendly relations with Qianlong Yuan. Since Jiang Zhiyou left a clue this time, no one can say whether it will be another big opportunity, and it would be a pity to miss this time. ”

Ou Haichao, who was called by name, was also sitting next to him, rubbing a string of top-grade Yajiao Mountain turquoise in his hand with a happy face, and nodded slightly when he heard this: "Jiang Zhiyou left me the clue of the little brother Ji, there must be a mystery!" However, the favor on Qianlong Yuan last time, after getting more than forty formation diagrams, should be cleared, with their consistent urine sex this time, they may not sell me face this time. ”

More than a dozen high-level and backbone members of the "Yandao" organization in the room sat around one person, and it could be seen from the ranking that this person was the number one person in the entire organization.

He only coughed lightly twice, and everyone was instantly quiet, and all of them focused on it: "Ji Yiming will be here tomorrow, Haichao, you find a chance to contact him." Since the relationship is good, it is not impossible to find out more about the inside story. I suspect that apart from those few words, Jiang Zhiyou's clues have not yet been fully discovered. ”

The voice is gentle and elegant, and the tone is not slow or hurried.

——The leader of the "Yandao" organization is the newly hired professor at Hanzhong University, who helped Ji Yiming solve Jiang Zhi's puzzle.

"I have a good relationship with Brother Ji, and I should be regarded as a lifelong New Year's friend. Ou Haichao touched his eyebrows and said with some embarrassment: "It's not very kind to use this kind of friendship to listen to the news, it's better to say it directly." It's just that I don't know what kind of attitude that Ying Xingtian has, it seems that he is quite protective of Little Brother Ji, if he gets in the way, this trip may not be smooth. ”

Win the ......

Everyone present silently recited the name in their hearts.

If everyone only knew that this person was superior in martial arts and might have entered the top realm of martial arts masters, then after the battle of the Shanglin Lake Ancient Kiln, the entire Huaxia cultivator organization was full of vigilance against him.

A top-notch martial arts master who is overwhelming the world and is almost invincible in a single battle is enough for Qianlong Yuan to easily outperform all other inheritance organizations in terms of force.

Don't look at the group of high-level leaders present in the suite at this moment, they can count out the three grandmasters, but even if the three of them go together to besiege Ying Xingtian, they are a little frightened, dealing with the top martial arts masters, even if it is only a small mistake, they will be seized to break the encirclement, and it is very likely that they will fight back in adversity.

"Let's talk about it first. Ji Daoyan casually gave an order, and swept away the smoke in the room: "Continue to carefully inspect every ancient building, underground burial mound, or other possible ruins in this place." When Na Ji Yiming arrives in the city tomorrow, Hai Chao will be in charge of negotiating with him - whether it's honest or listening to the news, you can decide what method you use, and make sure that we have a place in the next exploration of the ruins. ”

Ou Haichao smiled bitterly when he heard this, and rubbed his two lying silkworm eyebrows: "Do your best! I promised my little brother Ji to go to the house for dinner before, but now I have to chase after others to help when we meet. ”

……

……

The "criminal soldiers" organization, which received the news one step slower than "Yan Dao", is also a master this time. Not only did the remaining three Wizard Dao Masters from the high-level arrive, but even the mid-to-high-grade Wizard Realm cultivators also came.

As a wizard master who can invite a witch at any time, the combat power of a mid-to-high-grade wizard is often half stronger than that of a martial artist, a Dao Sect, and a Gu Dao cultivator. Although he is not a grandmaster, the combined attack of more than 20 wizards after inviting the witch is enough to give people a headache.

Unlike the four-star hotel, which chartered an entire floor of the suite, the "criminal soldiers" directly rented a manor-style villa by the lake, and everyone gathered in the hall on the first floor for a meeting.

And even more different from the "Yan Dao", all the members of the "Criminal Soldiers" gathered in the luxurious and spacious hall at this moment...... They all wore well-cut three-piece pure wool suits, and even small accessories such as collar clips and scarves were the same. Each person is either holding a glass of whiskey or red wine in his hand, and each person has a briar pipe, which only looks much more stylish than the previous room full of cigarette butts and cigarette ashes.

Sitting in the center is a bald man at least two meters tall, with high bulging arm muscles and as thick as a child's waist. He has a tattoo on his neck with a tattoo of his father's chasing the sun, and his forehead and eyebrows are wrinkled into a deep "three", even in Zegna's high-end custom suit, he still looks vicious.

"So, Qingqiu died in vain?"

The big man's eyes shrank, and his voice sounded in mid-air like rolling thunder, with bursts of echoes: "Since the Tang Dynasty, my criminal soldiers have been entangled and fought with Qianlong Yuan for more than a thousand years, and it is not that I have not suffered such a big loss. But every time, the ancestors of all generations of the criminal soldiers can find their way back to the field at the end!"

"Now a junior who doesn't know where to come out, known as a top martial arts master, can scare you like this - my criminal soldiers have been inherited for thousands of years, and your face has been lost by you!"

In the angry scolding of the leader, everyone in the hall lowered their heads and said nothing, and the "Sister Hong", who had deceived Ji Yiming to the outskirts of Hanzhong City under the pretense of the owner of the gym Zhou, was also among them, but the position was extremely far away, and it seemed that she should be one of the lowest status among everyone.

"After more than 30 hours of searching and finding nothing, the next step should be the stage between Ji Yiming and Qianlong Yuan. What are you going to do? That little girl named Jiang Zhiyou found the Shanglin Lake Ancient Kiln City, and we still don't know what happened inside, if we miss this time...... We will only be left behind step by step. ”

"The thing Jiang Zhiyou is looking for has been in the legend since the establishment of the entire Qianlong Yuan. Organizations that have been passed down for more than 1,000 years are recorded in the classics. A woman beside the big man coughed lightly, and finally reluctantly took the lead in speaking: "But no one has seen it with their own eyes for thousands of years, why should this little girl who claims to be the heir of Emperor Yan definitely find clues?"

"But she found Shanglin Lake Ancient Kiln City, and Qianlong Yuan also obtained a large number of ancient formations!" The leader Dahan slapped the table suddenly, shaking out the cup of peaty Dharma whiskey in his hand: "Whether it is because of hatred or interests, we must not back down in the face of Qianlong Yuan again this time!"
