Volume 1 Breaking the Cocoon and Reborn Chapter 63 The Mysterious Old Man
After lunch, Liu Qiaoyan wanted to chat with Fan Chenliang, but Fan Chenliang used the excuse that he needed to leave for something, which seemed a little mysterious, and even Xia Yuqing didn't let him follow, and said that when his father came back, he would tell them about what had happened in the past few years.
After going around a few streets, Fan Chenliang made a pot of wine in a tavern in the city, this wine is called Xi'er Hong, it is not a jade liquid, but it is a unique wine in the Holy City. Carrying wine and food, Fan Chenliang came to a small remote shop, this small shop has no name and no brand, the doors and windows are tightly closed, push the door in, the store is very small, scattered and scattered some tools are scattered on the ground, there is a wooden sign hanging on the counter, engraved with the word "wood attack", in the corner, a thin old man is carefully carving something!
This old man has no name and no surname, and he doesn't know when he has been in this holy city, he doesn't like to talk to people, he only knows how to make some puppets and mechanisms all day long, and the people nearby call him crazy wood. Fan Chenliang met him when he was seven years old, at that time, because of his greed for fun, he had no intention of breaking into this small shop, it was strange to say, this madman Mu actually took the initiative to talk to him, since then, the two have become New Year's friends, Fan Chenliang as soon as he is free, he came to this store to chat with him, and occasionally secretly brought some wine and food, before Fan Chenliang used the eagle air rope and Zhuge crossbow, etc., he gave.
"Crazy senior, I'm back!" Fan Chenliang rushed into the store with great interest.
"Yo, do you remember my bad old man?" Madman Mu stopped what he was doing, slowly turned around and greeted him, amazingly, he was actually the old man in white who snatched the Qiankun Gilin Bracelet in Luo Shengyuan, no wonder he felt Fan Chenliang's breath at the beginning, and muttered to himself, "This breath, so familiar!" and left.
Fan Chenliang grinned, and was not polite, put the wine and food on the table, directly found a stool and sat over, and said pitifully: "How could I forget your old man? You see that I have been away from home for five years, and I just came home today, I came to see you, this is not sincere enough?"
Glancing at Fan Chenliang, Madman Mu slowly walked to the counter, he knew that Fan Chenliang had been missing for five years, and he had been secretly looking for it for a long time, but there was no news. But he pretended not to know, and asked: "I thought you disliked my old man's old age and avoided me! Tell me, what did you do away from home for so long?"
"Hey, it's hard to put into words! Look at me, is there any difference from before?"
Crazy Mu took a closer look and said, "Well, I've grown a lot taller!"
"What else?"
"It's a lot more handsome!"
"No, take a closer look!" Fan Chenliang said with some eagerness.
Madman Mu looked at it a few more times, shook his head and said, "I didn't see it!"
Fan Chenliang said proudly: "Senior, didn't you find out that I am now a source master, and the realm is not low!"
Madman Mu pretended to examine it carefully, and after a long time, he suddenly realized: "After you say this, it seems to be true! I remember that you didn't say that you couldn't open up the Qi Mansion at the beginning? Why can you cultivate again now?"
"That's what I've been doing in the last five years! Hurry up and take out the cup, and I'll talk to you. ”
The madman Mu took out two wine glasses from the counter for a long time, waved his hand and said, "Don't, I'm not interested in your story;
"Okay, let's not talk about that, tell me if you've invented any new toys lately?"
Fan Chenliang complained, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, because this madman Mu has always been like this, he only likes to talk about family life and listen to the stories of ordinary people, and Fan Chenliang has long been used to it.
After some small talk, before he knew it, the wine in the pot had bottomed out, Fan Chenliang's face was drunk, and he heard the madman Mu sigh with emotion: "It's still red and smelly!"
"Crazy senior, you said that you brought you so much good wine before, but you didn't drink it, but you only wanted to drink this Xi'er Hong, is there any story?" Fan Chenliang asked a little drunk.
Madman Mu got up and said, "I'm a mess old man, what story can I have!" Okay, I've almost drunk today, let's go back early!" After speaking, he walked towards the corner, picked up his tools, and continued to work, ignoring Fan Chenliang no more.
Leaving the small shop, Fan Chenliang came to the largest medicinal herb store in the city, ready to buy some medicinal materials for refining Zhuyuan Dan, but found that the high-grade medicinal materials in the store were scarce and pitiful, the Luosheng City was already remote, and the Dan masters in the city were even rarer, and some high-grade medicinal materials could not be sold at all, so the medicinal herb store had very few reserves, and after some inquiry, the shopkeeper of the medicinal herb store told him that if he wanted to buy high-grade medicinal materials, the nearest one was the Northern Wilderness City, which was eight hundred miles away from here.
Yi Bao Ge, Fan Chenliang has also heard of it, this is the largest commercial house in the Northern Regions, is the richest Qi family industry in the Northern Regions, the entire Northern Regions one hundred and eight cities, one third of which have branches, resources and information are common in various places, in Yi Bao Ge, there are two ways to trade, one is to buy directly, the other is to bid, Yi Bao Ge holds a small auction every week, a medium-sized auction every month, and a large auction every year, so that some precious items can be sold at a better price.
Eight hundred miles, for the current Fan Chenliang, half a day is enough, and Fan Lei can't come back for the time being, so he decided to take a trip. took out a piece of source spar, gave it to the medicine store guy, and asked him to go to the general's mansion to report, and he rushed directly to the Northern Wilderness City.
In the middle of the night, in the Yibao Pavilion of the Northern Wilderness City, a person in a black robe appeared, and as soon as he made a move, he bought out all the fourth-grade and fifth-grade medicinal materials, leaving nothing behind, and then went straight away, as if none of this had happened.
Overnight, this incident caused a turmoil in Yi Bao Pavilion, and Bai Yuhu, the owner of Yi Bao Pavilion, immediately ordered the news to be blocked, and hurried to a courtyard in the city, which was not luxurious, but it seemed very quiet.
Entering the courtyard, Bai Yuhu walked directly towards a room in the backyard, but was stopped by an old man with a black shadow at the door of the room, the old man was about fifty or sixty years old, with deep eyes, expressionless face, dressed in a black shirt, and the whole person was integrated with the night.
"Miss has fallen asleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow!" The black-robed old man was the first to speak, his voice was cold, and he could freeze the whole person.
The person who stood in front of Bai Yuhu was called Qi Shenghan, the elder of the Qi family, the cultivation of the Yuan Zun Realm, mysterious, decisive in killing, extremely principled, few people in the Qi family dared to offend, Bai Yuhu trembled for a while, and said respectfully: "Old Han, I have an urgent matter with Miss Han, and I hope to be accommodating!"
Qi Shenghan didn't speak, just stared at Bai Yuhu with a pair of eyes, which made Bai Yuhu feel an infinite chill, and even his entire underwear was soaked, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at each other.
"Old Han, let him in!" A sweet woman's voice came from inside the house, Qi Shenghan didn't make a sound, slowly moved his steps, and disappeared into the night.
In the house, a woman sat cross-legged, wearing a light purple long skirt, covered with emerald water tulle, with straight breasts, a slender jade neck, plump cheeks, a high nose bridge, eyes like water, black hair on her head, and a jasper orchid hairpin, very exquisite, this person is the eldest lady of the Qi family, Qi Yuanxiang, but why she is in this small northern wilderness city, there is no way to know.
"Miss, Yuhu is disturbing late at night, please forgive me!" Bai Yuhu bowed and said.
"It's okay, you're not a reckless person, if you don't have something important, you won't be in a hurry to see me, say, what's going on?" Qi Yuanxiang asked lightly.
Hearing that Qi Yuanxiang did not blame himself for his recklessness, Bai Yuhu's mood calmed down a lot, and he immediately explained in detail what happened in Yi Bao Pavilion tonight, and boldly said some of his guesses.
After listening to Bai Yuhu's words, Qi Yuanxiang couldn't help but fall into thought, although it was a bit incredible to be able to buy all the fourth-grade and fifth-grade medicinal materials without blinking an eye, it was a bit incredible in this small Northern Wilderness City, but with her vision, it was not enough to surprise her, but this person only bought high-grade medicinal materials, it would be intriguing, it was very likely to be a Dan Master, and it was a Dan Master who could refine the five-grade pill, if this was the case, this matter had to be taken seriously, thinking of her Qi family, the chief Dan Master was only the fifth grade level, and now, in this small Northern Wilderness City, there was actually a five-grade Dan Master, if he could recruit him and serve the Qi family, it would naturally be the best, even if he couldn't, it would be good to have a good fate!
At the beginning, her father ordered her to come to this northern desert city to experience, she was still dissatisfied, but after coming here, she gradually found that there was less deceit and intrigue here, more simple customs and quiet environment, so that Qi Yuanxiang gradually liked this northern wilderness city, she didn't like power struggles, but she was born in the Qi family, and she was the eldest daughter of the head of the family, how could she be separated from this power struggle!
"You quickly order, follow up and investigate this mysterious man, be sure to find out his identity, remember, this matter can only be done in secret, not leak the news, and most importantly, not to offend or cause any dissatisfaction with this person!" After thinking for a while, Qi Yuanxiang decisively ordered, as if he was a general, and he was like a general.
Bai Yuhu left in a hurry after receiving the order, he was just a branch of Yibao Pavilion, although he was also a prominent position in this Northern Wilderness City, but in front of the eldest lady of the Qi family, it seemed a little insignificant, since he learned that the eldest lady was coming to this Northern Wilderness City, he had been cautious, only trying to do his part, and naturally did not dare to stay for a long time at this moment.
Inside the house, Qi Yuanxiang was still thinking about what happened just now, and after a long time, he suddenly said to himself: "Old Han, this matter is estimated to have to bother you to go, be sure to investigate it clearly!"
"Miss, but your safety is in danger—" a voice came from the void.
"It's okay, there are very few people who know my identity, and besides, I've been in this Northern Wilderness City for many days, and nothing dangerous has happened!" Qi Yuanxiang interrupted Qi Shenghan's words and said softly.
"Okay!" Qi Shenghan still didn't appear, but he felt a trace of movement in the house, and then there was no sound!
