"It's okay to say that women are disguised as men, but they are not allowed to show their true identities, what if they run into the two of them and they don't recognize me, and I can't tell the truth?"

Scarlet lay on the bed, tossing and turning, distressed by the matter.

After thinking about it, there was no solution, so I simply covered my head and fell asleep. It is not wrong for soldiers to block the water and cover the earth.

In the evening of the next day, the chief of the copper bell and the scarlet girl dressed as a man slowly approached Xuantie Town with the red on the horizon.

Looking at the town gate not far ahead, the chief of the copper bell stopped, nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Scarlet Ni with a reverse face: "Ni'er, there is Xuantie Town in front, do you remember this place?"

Scarlet replied with a smile: "Hehehehe, master, I only remember Lingli Mountain, this Xuantie Town, Ni'er has never been there!"

The Taoist chief touched the copper bell on his waist, and his face was embarrassed: "Yes, yes, yes, I left here before I had time to take you into the town." If you don't say it, you'll really forget about being a teacher!"

Looking at the master who was slowly moving forward, a trace of worry couldn't help but rise between Scarlet's eyebrows: "The master's memory has been getting worse and worse recently, alas, is the master really old?"

After entering the town, she was originally surprised, but she was disappointed in the situation in the town.

She couldn't help but pouted and complained: "Master, it is said that the world is full of flowers and is very lively. But in Ni'er's opinion, it's nothing more than that. Look at this street, the hawkers are three by two, and the people are scattered, which is even more deserted than our purple cloud top!"

"Heh, it's just because we didn't come at the right time. If you really want to see the town's bustle, be patient. As soon as the night market comes out, this street should be lively again!" the Taoist pointed to a shop on the right, and then said, "Let's find a place to fill my stomach first." ”

Scarlet looked up at the wide plaque and said to herself: "Shi Shixuan, can this poem and song also be eaten? It's really unheard of! Or is the master going to take me here to eat and recite poems at the same time?"

Hearing her whisper, the copper bell Taoist shook his head and said, "No, no, no, this is an exclusive restaurant for big families, and we can't afford to eat it!"

"Master, where are we going?"

The chief of the copper bell moved his finger to the corner next to the restaurant and smiled: "Go there!"

Scarlet looked in the direction pointed by the Taoist chief, and saw an old couple cleaning up the table, and on the edge of the table was a flag embroidered with the three characters of wonton noodles.

After taking a seat, Scarlet beckoned to the old woman who was cleaning up the utensils at the next table: "Old man, two bowls of wonton noodles." ”

Seeing that a guest was asking, the old woman staggered back and said, "Please wait, you two." ”

Soon, the old woman brought out two bowls of wonton noodles.

Without hesitation, the Taoist chief sandwiched all the wontons in the bowl to Scarlet, who looked at him in a daze, and then revealed a neat row of white teeth.

After eating deliciously, Scarlet suddenly asked, "Master, you haven't told me yet, what is the purpose of going down the mountain this time?"

The chief of the copper bell couldn't help but be stunned, obviously stopped by her question, and his eyes instantly became a little dodgy.

He looked down at the noodles in the bowl and replied in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's just going down the mountain to buy." ”

"Procurement?" Scarlet Ni's eyes widened suddenly, "Do you need to go so far for procurement?" Master, we have been in a whole day's journey! Besides, hasn't Master always purchased goods in the small village under Ziyunding?"

"Hehe, what the master wants to buy, except for Xuantie Town, there is no other place!"

"Oh, so that's the case?" Scarlet pouted and replied without raising her head: "Ni'er understands." ”

The crescent moon hangs high, and the stars gradually rise.

In the evening, the deserted streets come alive when the night sky shines at its first rays.

Looking at the long street full of people and lit by thousands of lights, Scarlet Ni excitedly shouted: "Haha, the master really didn't lie to me! Master, look, what a lively market! It turns out that the so-called fireworks world is such a scene!"

She unconsciously tugged at the sleeve of the copper bell and sprinkled it with Jiao: "Master, Ni'er wants to go shopping, is it feasible?"

The chief of the bronze bell took out a brocade bag containing a little broken silver from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand, and said softly: "Go, go, go! It just so happens that the teacher also has something to do, and the teacher will come to look for you in a while." ”

Scarlet clenched the sachet tightly, nodded in agreement, and slipped into the crowd.

When she was drowned in the sea of people, the chief of the bronze bell returned to the noodle stall.

The old woman was entertaining other guests, and when she saw him returning, she thought that something had been left behind, so she stepped forward and asked, "Daoist, have you forgotten to take something?"

The chief of the copper bell hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I came here this time to ask the old man about something." ”

With that, he took out a shining piece of silver from his inner pocket and put it on the table, and said, "This silver should be a reward." ”

The old woman glanced back at her wife who was below, and hesitated, "This ......"

Seeing that she was worried, the Taoist chief smiled lightly: "Don't worry about the old man, the things that the poor Dao inquired about will definitely not bring any trouble to the old man!"

The old woman looked at her wife again.

This time, her wife nodded at her.

"Okay, what's the matter, just ask!"

The Chief of the Bronze Bell Dao paused and asked, "Has anything strange happened in this town recently?"

"Strange thing? Could it be that Daoist is referring to Aunt Zhang's son who died inexplicably?"

"The elderly, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. This...... How could it be that he died inexplicably?"

The old woman put down the rag in her hand, sat down, and sighed, "Alas, that's the Taoist who doesn't know something. Aunt Zhang's son is called Da Zhuang, and he is as his name suggests, and he is infinitely powerful and healthy. Not long ago, I died inexplicably on the street in the middle of the night, like a dried corpse, and it was very terrifying! Tell me, how can a person who is usually free of illness and no pain suddenly die suddenly? Isn't it strange what is it?"

The chief of the bronze bell continued to ask: "Can you find out who did it?"

"According to the government, it was a big worm. But who doesn't know, the big insects eat people are all in pieces, can they still tolerate you with an intact corpse?

"Ahem, ahem...... Wife, it's time to come in and face up!"

Xing felt that the old woman had said too much, and the old man who was busy inside hurriedly stopped her.

The old woman smiled embarrassedly and shouted at her wife, "This is coming, this is coming." ”

She glanced back at the Taoist again, pushed the silver on the table back to him, and said slowly: "You better take back this silver! It's just a few words, and you don't need such a big reward." ”

With that, he staggered away from the table.

Looking at the ingot of silver in front of him, the copper bell Taoist fell into deep thought.

It means that Aunt Zhang's son was killed by someone who sucked out his essence and blood. Living by sucking people's essence is like something! If it is really him, then this Xuantie Town, I'm afraid it will be dangerous!

No, his target shouldn't just be Xuantie Town.

After all, in this Xuantie Town, there are more valuable existences than human spirits!

If that's the case, hmph, those monsters should be ready to move!
