No one dared to interrupt Wudao's thoughts, and the room fell into silence, with no sound except the sound of breathing.

And almost a quarter of an hour passed like this, and Wu Dao came back to his senses on his own, but his face was still heavy and his brows were tightly locked.

When Lu Dashan saw this, he looked at each other, not knowing what to do. The man who drew the map opened his mouth as if he had something to say, but before he could say it, he swallowed it back.

At this moment, Wudao suddenly spoke: "You three listen. ”

Lu Dashan and the three of them were shocked, bent down one after another, and said in unison: "My subordinates are here, I will listen to the orders of the deputy master." ”

Wudao groaned slightly, and said solemnly: "I'm going out to do something soon, I'll leave it to you here, be sure to ensure the safety here." And until I return, none of you are allowed to leave without permission, including all the disciples of this sect who are here. ”

"Yes, subordinates obey orders!" Lu Dashan bowed in response.

Immediately after, a person on Lu Dashan's right hand immediately bent down and said, "Yes!"

Wudao looked at the man who gave him the map, and said lightly: "Taozi, what do you have to say?"

The person who was called Taozi was surnamed Du and his name was Du Tao. I saw him raise his head, and he stopped talking.

Wudao waved his hand and said, "If you have something to say, you know that I don't like people who talk and do things." ”

When Du Tao heard this, he no longer hesitated, and opened his mouth to say: "Deputy Sect Master, there are many dragons and snakes in Xiaofeng City, and now it's night, if you go out alone, I'm afraid it's not safe, or bring ......."

"No need. "There is no way to cut the railway. "It's inconvenient to have a lot of people. ”

Du Tao hurriedly said: "But the deputy master, your safety is the most important thing!"

Wudao waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "No one needs to worry about my safety, you just need to be responsible for the safety here." ”

"But ......," Du Tao paused.

Seeing this, Lu Dashan and the other person glanced at each other, and were about to say something, but they were all stopped by Wudao by raising his hand.

"Don't say anything. Wudao said.

……

In the west wing of the courtyard, Wudao retreated from a room.

This room is provided to Yun Rou's residence, and Yun Rou has not woken up from her sleep until now.

Wudao closed the door gently, turned around, and saw a huge figure standing aside, it was Lu Dashan.

"Dashan?" Wudao looked puzzled.

Lu Dashan seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and couldn't wait to say: "Deputy Sect Master, my subordinates thought about it for a while, and thought that what Taozi said was reasonable, so for your safety, ......"

"Alright. Wu Dao interrupted Lu Dashan's words, and said angrily: "You mean, I can't even guarantee my own safety, and I need you to protect me?"

Lu Dashan was shocked, and shook his head busily and said, "That's not what my subordinates meant. The main road of the sub-gate is deep, and there are few opponents today, where to protect the subordinates. ”

Wudao was silent.

Lu Dashan continued: "The subordinates are just thinking, they can't let some clowns who jump off the beam spoil the deputy master's business, in case they happen, they will be handed over to their subordinates to deal with." ”

Wudao was noncommittal, and he didn't bother to dwell on this matter, and instead said: "Dashan! you have more important things than following me. ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Dashan blurted out.

Wudao glanced back at the closed door behind him, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Help me protect the people inside, and before I come back from going out, no one is allowed to approach this room, not even the disciples of this sect." ”

Lu Dashan's eyes froze, as if he realized something, but he was not very clear, and he felt ignorant.

Wudao stretched out his left hand and spread his palm.

Lu Dashan looked at it and saw that it was a milky white silkworm-like insect, very small, almost the size of a normal person's little finger, lying quietly in the palm of Wudao at the moment, slowly wriggling.

However, Lu Dashan didn't know what the insect in front of him was, so he asked, "Deputy Sect Master, what is this?"

Wudao replied, "Yin Yang Silkworm!"

"Yin Yang Silkworm?" Lu Dashan repeated in the pass, but he still didn't know what was in front of him.

Wudao saw that Lu Dashan didn't know, but he didn't plan to explain more, but said: "You don't have to understand so much, as long as you know that when you are in danger, pinch it to death, and I can sense it immediately." ”

Lu Dashan was taken aback, it was the first time he had heard that there was such a magical species in the world, and then he asked, "No matter how far away you can perceive it?"

Wudao pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "You can sense it within a thousand miles, but if you are a thousand miles away...... Then I don't know, because I haven't tried it, but theoretically it should still work. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Dashan was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

Wudao raised his hand and threw the Yin Yang Silkworm towards Lu Dashan, and advised: "The life of this thing is very fragile, and it can fall to death if it falls to the ground, so you have to take care of it." In addition, when there is no danger, don't play it to death, and once you are in danger, whether you can handle it or not, you must pinch it to death as soon as possible, so that I know. ”

Lu Dashan hurriedly caught the yin and yang silkworm flying over and held it in the palm of his hand with both hands.

I saw that his pair was far beyond normal people, comparable to the size of a pu fan, and the yin and yang silkworms were extremely small in his hands.

At the same time, Lu Dashan's forehead was even more shocked by a layer of cold sweat, because he came into contact with the yin and yang silkworms, he found that this thing is just like the mulberry silkworms bred by ordinary people, the whole body is soft, and there are no bones.

Thinking of this, Lu Dashan couldn't help but think: The deputy master of the door is really big-hearted, and on the one hand, he told him to be careful, and on the other hand, he threw out the yin and yang silkworm so boldly, if he didn't catch it, wouldn't he fall to death!

Wudao didn't know what Lu Dashan was thinking, of course, he didn't need to be clear, and then he briefly explained a few words, and then left.

And after Lu Dashan left without a way, he stood straight outside the door of the room where Yun Rou lived, standing with his chest straight, like a door god.

……

Northwest of Xiaofengcheng.

Wudao followed the guidance of the map drawn by his subordinate Du Tao, and soon found an inn with no signboard.

And here, it is the so-called "ghost sorrow" inn.

Wudao looked around, but didn't find anything wrong, so he walked into the inn.

However, I saw a huge inn lobby, with more than a dozen tables, but there were only four tables of guests sitting scattered, and everyone together was less than ten.

One of the tables had the most people, but there were only three people, the other two tables were filled with two people, and finally there was a table by the window, where only one person was seated.

Wudao's arrival did not attract the attention of the four tables of guests in the inn in the slightest, and they were still doing what they should do, and they didn't even look up.

However, not everyone is ignorant, at least not the owner of one inn.

No, from behind the counter of the inn, a hoarse voice came out, and said quietly: "The young man looks tight, he should have just come recently!"

There was no way to follow the prestige, but there was no figure in sight, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the voice just now sounded again, saying, "Young people might as well get closer, and you can see the decay." ”

Wudao walked slowly to the counter, looked at it, and suddenly realized.

I saw that the other party was an old man with a sixtieth birthday, because he was hunched and couldn't stand straight, so his height was not as high as the inn counter, and if he was farther away, he would be obstructed because of his vision, so he couldn't see the old man.

"Where did the young man come from?" asked the old man, without raising his head.

Seeing this, Wudao frowned slightly, but instead of answering the old man's question, he looked up and down at the old man in front of him with his eyes.

The old man couldn't wait for an answer, so he slowly raised his head.

But I don't know if it was because Wudao's height was too tall and the old man looked up hard, or because the old man was not interested in Wudao at all, so he just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and lowered his head again.

Wudao's brows furrowed even deeper, but he was about to speak, but he heard the old man say: "I'm sorry, it's the old man who is presumptuous, and I hope the young man is not strange." ”

"It's okay!" Wudao said indifferently. "Excuse me, old ......"

Wudao's voice paused, because he found that he didn't know what to call the old man in front of him.

The old man smiled and seemed to understand, so he said: "The old man's surname is Li, and most of the people I know call me Li Lao, of course, there are also those who call Li Shopkeeper, both are fine, and young people are free to do so." ”

"Elder Li!"

Wudao called out respectfully, and then asked, "Is this the Ghost Sorrow Inn?"

The old man, who claimed to be surnamed Li, replied: "Exactly! It seems that although the young man is a newcomer, he has already been given advice!"

Noncommittal, he said, "A friend told me about it, and then I was curious, so I came over to take a look." ”

Li Lao lightly nodded his forehead and lowered his voice: "I don't know if your friend told you the rules of this store?"

"No!" said Wudao without thinking.

"Oh!"

Li Lao let out a faint "oh" and said, "Then the young man, please go back! ”

Wudao was stunned when he heard this, but how could he turn around and leave because of the words of the old man in front of him?

"Don't you ever take on strangers?"

Wudao let out a questioning voice and asked, "Dare to ask how many customers your store has received since it opened?"

Seeing that Wudao had no intention of leaving, Li Lao said solemnly: "I am so old, how can I remember how many people I have received in total? As for whether they are all acquaintances, is it very important? Since I am the shopkeeper of this shop, then I say yes, they are, no." ”

Wudao smiled dumbly, and then said: "Elder Li is really willful!"
