As Zhao Ruoxi said, happy people only know joy but don't know what kind of feelings are behind this joy.

There were a lot of people on the streets, even more than usual.

"After the big battle, the people from several nearby cities have moved over!" Seeing the confusion on Xu Chen's face, Zhao Ruoxi explained: "I want to thank you, after using your plan, the battle situation is very favorable to us, and the rest of the forces are still not enough to defend themselves, and there is no strength to counterattack......"

"No! that's not what I'm talking about!" Xu Chen shook his head, met Zhao Ruoxi's puzzled face, and said, "What I don't understand is why I can't see the slightest urgency and anxiety of war on the faces of these people?"

"The same was true of the beast tide last time! The fight outside the city is hot, but the life of the people in the city is still orderly. ”

Zhao Ruoxi was silent for a moment, and replied with a smile: "Maybe you are used to it! You have not seen a war once in dozens or hundreds of years, Biancheng is different, after all these years, once a year, I have long been accustomed to it!"

In the outside world, large-scale wars are indeed uncommon, even if there are frequent wars on the border, but the war situation is unpredictable, and it is natural to be anxious and panic if you can't guess the outcome. But Biancheng is different, there has been a beast tide every year in the past 10,000 years, and the result is also doomed, the so-called big war is more like a grand exercise. The people of Biancheng have been artificially downplayed by the emotions between individuals, and they are naturally able to look at the annual casualties with almost indifference.

This is probably what Zhao Ruoxi wanted to express, and it was also the meaning that Xu Chen guessed by himself, although he still felt that his words were not true, Xu Chen didn't ask more.

Looking at the streets that are obviously a little more lively than any city in the outside world, Shi Lei, who likes to be lively, has already been interspersed with the flow of people like a wild horse.

After Zhao Ruoxi and Xu Chen said a few words, they hurriedly stepped forward to take care of Shi Lei.

Song Yongping, who was following behind, saw that there was still a little doubt on the corners of Xu Chen's eyebrows, and thought that the matter of going out would depend on Xu Chen, so he took a few steps forward and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to understand, the monks return to the monks, and the mortals return to the mortals! Although Biancheng has consciously eliminated the gap between the two over the years, the arrogance in the monk's heart cannot be wiped out, but it is hidden deeper!"

Xu Chen nodded silently, and there seemed to be a divine light in his eyes.

After Song Yongping finished speaking, he led his brothers and a few people to walk forward, Yang Ziyun saw that Xu Chen was still thinking, so he came up and asked, "You have asked so much, what kind of ghost idea have you come up with?"

Xu Chen raised his head, looked at Yang Ziyun and smiled mysteriously, and said, "I have an idea, but I don't need it at this moment! Wait, there is more than this remnant in this world......

The lanterns on the street are obviously much more wonderful than the outside world, and even more magnificent and magnificent than what Xu Chen has ever seen.

"It is worthy of a civilization with a long heritage!"

The so-called "world of lights" and "sea of lights" are mostly pale adjectives elsewhere, but here they are real statements.

With the help of the power of formations and runes, all the lamps are real things, strange and different.

These dazzling lanterns are not the same, the colored lights explode, and then condense into a ball, like a fledgling bird, and become a new appearance rippling in the night sky.

In the dreamlike world, even Yang Ziyun forgot her dissatisfaction with Zhao Ruoxi, her beautiful eyes were bright, and she said stupidly: "Do you remember? The first time we met was at the Lantern Festival......

"Then you found it yourself!" Xu Chen said with a smile.

Yang Ziyun glanced at him and said, "That's the old lady, I want money and want to go crazy, so I will rush to find you, a little beggar!"

"Haha, the little beggar has no money!"

When I first saw each other, although it was no longer a chance encounter, and we were even more wary of each other, but now when I recall it, it is still sweet.

Maybe it's the circumstances, fate makes the two meet, get to know each other, enter each other's world, and the lonely world becomes no longer lonely.

Wandering in the colorful light of the sky, the heart is intoxicated, and people become confused.

It's just that Xu Chen, who is intoxicated now, is only a moment after all, and it can only be a moment.

I can't tell if he was awakened by the noise of tourists on the street, or if he realized that he was unconscious, in short, Xu Chen quickly woke up from the confusion.

"Let's go, let's see! Don't be the stone, that kid is in trouble again!"

Waking up the brothers who were also drunk, Xu Chen and his party walked forward quickly.

Separated the flow of people, walked to a stall on the side of the street, said it was a stall, but it was unusually shabby, but one person and one cloth, the black cloth was engraved with many familiar patterns for Xu Chen, which looked like Fuxi gossip.

Similar Yin and Yang Taiji diagrams, Xu Chen had only seen them on the stone altar underground.

Most of the views on the Taiji diagram that Xu Chen knew were painted by the Taoist priest Chen Tuan in the early Song Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, so Xu Chen would only have a moment of surprise when he was underground.

The Fuxi gossip map in front of him was different from what Xu Chen was familiar with, and it looked more complicated.

Seeing that Xu Chen was staring at the pattern on the black cloth as soon as he came over, Zhao Ruoxi, who had been here for a long time, asked curiously: "Do you recognize the pattern on this?"

Xu Chen was slightly shocked when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Don't you know?"

Zhao Ruoxi looked at Xu Chen thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "I've seen some of them, I saw them in my eldest brother's study, they are all very old books! ”

"Oh!" Xu Chen nodded noncommittally.

The owner of the stall business is unusually good, the tourists are weaving, from time to time someone squats down and asks the stall owner some questions, the stall owner only slightly opens his eyes and glances at it and can talk, most of the tourists are surprised and abnormal, and they leave after dropping some money.

"He's a fortune teller?" Xu Chen asked.

"What is a fortune teller?" Zhao Ruoxi was puzzled.

"It's the kind of person who calculates the future for others and answers questions!" Xu Chen replied.

After listening to Xu Chen's reply, Zhao Ruoxi thought about it, nodded and said, "Sort of!"

"Speaking of which, I also know this person, he was once a member of the city guard, and he is a capable person!"

"Capable one?" Xu Chen was a little surprised: "How could it be ......?"

"That's good!" Zhao Ruoxi understood what Xu Chen meant, and sighed lightly: "Although he is a capable person, he is just a person with strengthened eyes and brains, and he can see some things that ordinary people can't see, but this ability is really a bit chicken, and he doesn't have much combat power, he doesn't want to continue to stay in the city guards to spend more food, so he asked himself to leave and set up such a stall on the side of the street to spend his days." ”

Xu Chen's heart sank, but his face was silent.

The middle-aged man in front of him, who was not good-looking, turned out to be the one who Chen Dong had introduced his special abilities to him at the beginning, and he was also the kind of person Xu Chen feared the most who could see through the thoughts and thoughts of ordinary people!

Xu Chen didn't know if Zhao Ruoxi intended to bring him, but he began to be wary in his heart.

What's worse is that after Shi Lei saw that this person was accurate, he couldn't bear to squat down and said, "Uncle, you can also help me take a look!"

Xu Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said, "Stone, there's something delicious over there, shall we go eat?"

Glancing left and right, Song Qing and the others hurriedly pulled Shi Lei away.

Immediately, Xu Chen also left quickly, leaving only Zhao Ruoxi to watch Xu Chen and the others in the distance.

Zhao Ruoxi lowered his head, nodded lightly at the stall owner, and then moved the lotus step lightly, chasing after Xu Chen and the others.

After such an incident, Xu Chen's playfulness was greatly reduced, and regardless of Shi Lei's noise, he brazenly escorted him back to his residence.

After laying out several layers of formations in the room, Xu Chen said with palpitations: "It's so dangerous!"

Yang Ziyun understood a little, and hurriedly asked, "Have you been looked at by that person?"

Xu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know, the key is that I don't know what the conditions for his ability to be activated are, it may or may not be exposed, I don't know!"

Yang Ziyun pondered for a moment and said, "Then do you want me to go and investigate? See where that guy lives? Anyway, now that I'm a monk, this person's ability is not effective for me." ”

Xu Chen was a little moved, but after a while, he shook his head again and said, "Forget it! Biancheng is full of formations, Zhao Ruoxi's home field, you are a monk after all, if you go, it will be easy to be discovered." ”

Yang Ziyun was taken aback and asked, "Do you want to go by yourself?"

Xu Chen nodded seriously and said, "I still have a role to use them, even if I catch them, it will only end up being tortured, and it is nothing more than throwing away some secrets......"

"No, then you can't go!" Yang Ziyun said anxiously.

Xu Chen smiled, looked at her and said, "What do you know that you don't know? I was arrested at least my life is fine, but you are different! Even if they kill you for secrecy, I have nothing to say." I'd better go!"

After convincing Yang Ziyun, Xu Chen changed into a full set of night travel equipment and tiptoed over the wall to go out.

Xu Chen didn't wander around, but walked towards Zhao Ruoxi's place.

When he came back, Zhao Ruoxi told Xu Chen of his location for some reason, and Xu Chen didn't have the heart to care about the deep meaning anymore, but went straight to find it.

Sure enough, in a study room in Zhao Bancheng, there was a person standing in front of Zhao Ruoxi, who was the stall owner on the street.

Through the transparent window, Xu Chen, who could see it clearly, had a solemn expression.

"Say it!" Zhao Ruoxi asked, "What do you see?"

The man was silent for a moment, then hesitated and replied, "Subordinate...... I'm sorry, Commander! The subordinates only felt that the man was always shrouded in a layer of fog, and he couldn't see anything!"

Zhao Ruoxi frowned, and said with some disbelief: "Didn't see anything at all?"

"I'm sorry!" the man's head bowed deeply.

Zhao Ruoxi was a little unwilling, and asked again: "What about people other than him?

The man recalled, "In addition to him, there was also the baby-faced boy, who was also shrouded in a thick fog, and could not see anything. ”

"It's the rest of those boys with helmets who can vaguely see some fragments, but they are far away, and the person notices quickly, and the fragments are too many to figure out for a while!"

Zhao Ruoxi's face was dissatisfied, but after seeing that he couldn't ask anything valuable, he said a little impatiently: "When I go back, draw me the original things you see!"

"Okay!" the man bowed and retreated.

And Xu Chen, who was hidden in the courtyard, also retreated quietly.
