Chapter 236
It has always been like this, and it is naturally so now, so Li Xunlian just had this strange idea in his mind, so he shook his head again, and secretly said that he was not a child, the situation was so serious, he actually thought about these things.
"Then what do you think should be done about this matter?" Li Xunlian returned to normal and asked rhetorically.
"I can't pay attention to it, after all, it's a big matter, and it's about the fate of Kyushu, so I'm going to go out for a few days to meet an old friend. The big shopkeeper said.
"Old friend, Tongyouren?" Li Xun was open-mouthed, although he knew that the big shopkeeper and Tongyouren must have some unknown past, but he did not choose to avoid it, but asked directly.
Hearing Li Xunlian so straightforward, the big shopkeeper's face seemed to be red, and after an obvious pause, he nodded.
But he quickly diverted the topic and said, "I'm going to leave today, so don't run around during this time, stay at Divine Sword Peak to preside over things." ”
Nodding, Li Xunlian said: "Don't worry, but since you mentioned Tongyouren, I have something to give you, and I'm ashamed to say it, this thing has been in my place for almost two years." ”
People don't want to mention it to Tongyouren, but he pulls it back, and at this moment the big shopkeeper can't wait to give him a few slaps, this kid is really untouchable.
"Well, that's it, I just came out of the mountain, didn't you let me go to the ghost person, he asked me to give this to you, and then the matter was connected, and I forgot about it. As he spoke, he took out the bun from the Sumeru ring, but he didn't blush at all when he said this, a bun that had been kept in the Sumeru ring for two years, but now he was like no one, which shows how thick-skinned he is.
However, after the shopkeeper saw this bun, he didn't blame Li Xunlian, on the contrary, there was a ripple in his eyes, which was an emotion that Li Xunlian had never seen in the shopkeeper, and he couldn't read it.
"Okay, I got it. After a moment of silence, the big shopkeeper took the bun, but the next scene surprised Li Xunlian.
I saw that after the big shopkeeper took the bun, he took a bite directly, like tasting, more like falling into some kind of memory.
You know, this bun has been in it for two years, although it will not be moldy and spoiled in the Sumeru ring, but it is still the same sentence, the bun that has been put for two years, the big shopkeeper does not dislike it......
Could it be that what he eats is not steamed buns, but a kind of feeling?
Li Xunlian was a little strange, but he didn't ask after all, not that he didn't want to ask, but the big shopkeeper saw that he had the intention of opening his mouth, so he directly kicked him out.
After such a fuss, the originally tense atmosphere was also a lot easier, so Li Xunlian had the intention to put it elsewhere, especially when he went out, the smell that the big shopkeeper would bring up when he closed the door forcefully.
Closing the door hard brought a breeze that brought up a lot of the smell of the room, and it was a faint aroma, or rather...... Daughter incense.
Li Xunlian is a stubborn kid by nature, and after smelling this smell, he looked in, saying that it smelled so good, but he was wondering in his heart, is the big shopkeeper hiding Jiao......
However, the big shopkeeper couldn't give him a chance to find out, and with a bang, Li Xunlian was isolated from the door.
"Cut, stingy, if you find me a teacher, you won't let me know sooner or later, it's still secretive, it's boring. Outside the door, he chattered a few words unwillingly, and just as Li Xunlian was about to leave with great interest, the response of the big shopkeeper came from the house.
"I'm not your master, besides, even if I'm your master, you won't have a master in your life. ”
Hearing this, Li Xunlian was really stunned, and finally sneered, and then left.
At that time, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that the big shopkeeper meant that he would not marry for life, but it wasn't until one day later, after he learned about something, that he suddenly reacted, and it turned out that the words of the big shopkeeper meant something else.
......
The big shopkeeper was very decisive, and left the day after the decision, although it had been a while since the Battle of Shenjian Peak, the damage caused by the Battle of Shenjian Peak to Shenjian Peak was too great, and it was that Shenjian Peak was still in a state of ruin.
Therefore, Li Xunlian was very busy, and many matters needed him to take care of, so the afternoon passed in a hurry, busy, but also very fulfilling, and he didn't have time to think about those messy things at all.
The next morning, Li Xunlian got up early again, and today a group of craftsmen came to repair the destroyed house, and he had to go over to have a look.
If it were placed in normal times, it would be good to leave this kind of thing to other people, but now the situation is different, anything can happen, and Shenjian Peak has just experienced a big war, whether it is personnel or others, they are all in a state of decline, and nothing must happen again.
Especially now that the big shopkeeper is not here, there can be no mistakes.
Of course, it may also be that Li Xun is a soldier of all kinds of plants, but he is the beneficiary of the disguise technique, and he knows how powerful the disguise technique is, so he came to outsiders, and he must confirm it in person.
He met the craftsman at the second outer peak, a total of twenty-seven people, all of whom were said to be the most skilled seniors in the circle, who were paid a lot of money, but who were excellent in their work.
The leader is called Wu Dahe, the person is the same as the name, with a strong mouth in the vernacular, and his mouth is like a river.
He also knew that Shenjian Peak was no better than other places, and patted his chest and promised that even if he saw something that he shouldn't see, he would definitely bury it in his heart and rot it in his stomach.
Li Xunlian laughed after hearing this, and said that Shenjian Peak is not an unsightly place, and there can be something that should not be seen, as long as you don't walk around.
The reason why they were not allowed to walk around was because after this battle, the Shenjian Peak Mountain Protection Array had been destroyed, and without this barrier, it was obvious that the defense power had been greatly reduced, so the big shopkeeper asked the master of the machine spring to design a lot of mechanisms, which were also under construction at this time, and should not be seen by outsiders.
Speaking of which, there is one person worth mentioning, and that is Baili Qingfeng, the master who built the mechanism this time, was recommended by him, and it was the one who built the mechanism for their cottage back then.
Wu Dahe agreed, and then he had to go to work.
Li Xunlian didn't even care, he didn't see any signs of disguise from these people, but just as he was about to leave, a word from one of the craftsmen caught his attention.
The man was a little old, conservatively estimated to be sixty, and he looked very strong, he whispered to Wu Dahe: "Why don't you let us walk around, treat us as thieves?"
This voice was very small, but it reached Li Xunlian's ears, and I don't know if the other party deliberately let Li Xunlian hear it, or if he thought Li Xunlian couldn't hear it.
Wu Dahe's straight-eyed person, after hearing it, he didn't feel very good, so he thought about giving an explanation to his brothers, so he came to Li Xunlian's side and asked: "This young master, we have been working outside for not ten years but eight years, and the reputation has been very good. ”
Hearing this, Li Xunlian smiled, and said in his heart that you stupid thing is still an OEM, after ten years and eight years of work, I don't know how many times people have to use it.
But he didn't show it on his face, but said with a calm smile: "Don't hide it from you, big brother, you can also see that we have just experienced a big war, and we have not been well defended recently, just between these peaks, I am afraid that there are still remnants of the enemy to hide, I am for your safety, but you can rest assured, as long as you don't walk around, safety can definitely be guaranteed." ”
Oh, it turned out to be for the good of the big guys.
Wu Dahe smiled awkwardly, but Li Xunlian asked seemingly casually: "Is that person a newcomer, why does it seem that the work under his hands is a bit raw." ”
The person he said was naturally the sixty-year-old man who was talking just now, and at the moment this person was following the others, and there seemed nothing abnormal about it.
That Wu Dahe is also unknown, so how can he see that he is working before he works, and said suspiciously: "Master, don't worry, my old Wu's subordinates are all elite soldiers, and there is absolutely no mixed pay, and he is not a newcomer, he has been with us for more than a year." ”
Hearing this, Li Xunlian nodded, followed by a few polite words, and left first.
After that, Wu Dahe took a group of craftsmen to work, but Li Xunlian quietly turned back and secretly observed in a place that was not suitable for common people.
To be honest, he didn't know if his suspicions were superfluous, but he always felt that the old man before was not provocative, but wanted to inquire about the current situation of Shenjian Peak.
He had been uncertain until he had been secretly observing, but after a morning of observation, he had become more and more sure. There must be something wrong with that man.
In this morning, the old man went to the toilet nine times, they didn't pay so much attention to civil engineering, and they basically urinated whenever it was convenient to solve it, but this person was different, not only did this person go far away, but also went to a different location every time.
This matter is enough to make Li Xunlian suspicious, but this is not the end, and I don't know if it is an illusion or what, Li Xunlian always feels that this person seems to be familiar with Shenjian Peak...
This feeling came out of his life, and Li Xunlian became more and more wary of the old man, and at the same time tried to recall every outsider who had been to Shenjian Peak and might become an enemy.
But thinking about it, it seems that there are no qualified people at all, but the absence of outsiders does not mean that there are no "insiders", why does Shenjian Peak need to be repaired, why it will be invaded, in the final analysis, it must be tied to one person's body.
That's ...... Wei Jiyuan!
Of course, this old man is definitely not Wei Jiyuan, no matter how you look at him, he will not be, because Wei Jiyuan was the core figure of Shenjian Peak before after all, and Li Xunlian had very frequent contact with him, so that he knew some of his tiny habits very well.
Therefore, even if Wei Jiyuan can change his appearance through a disguise without loopholes, as long as this person is him, it will definitely reveal clues from the details and habits.
There is almost no possibility for a person to correct his detailed habits in a short period of time, because habits are subconsciously revealed, and to put it bluntly, they are not controlled by their conscious. Unless, Wei Jiyuan has already started to restrain his habits today, if this is the case, then Li Xunlian will admit it.
Therefore, he felt that this person should not be Wei Jiyuan, not to mention that if Wei Jiyuan wanted to come, he must have a better way, there was no need to pretend to be a craftsman and be controlled by others everywhere.
As the saying goes, it is indispensable to defend against people, and the inn disciples that Li Xunlian nominally arranged to protect their safety actually play a supervisory role, once they do something that does not conform to common sense, someone will immediately report it, and if they do something detrimental to Shenjian Peak, they will even be killed directly.
"It shouldn't be Wei Jiyuan, so who is this person......
Li Xunlian was holding the weeds in his mouth, hiding behind a big stone and contemplating secretly, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he looked back, but Ouyang senior, one of the elders of the inn, came.
"Senior Ouyang. Li Xunlian greeted him with a smile.
This Ouyang Patriarch's full name is Ouyang De, and he was only the fourth-ranked patriarch before the Dao Sect invaded Shenjian Peak, but after that war, the three patriarchs led by Du Lao all fell, so this person was given a heavy responsibility and sat in the position of the first patriarch.
Since he is the first elder, Li Xunlian naturally won't hide anything from him, and he told him some suspicious things about the old man before.
"Childe, you let me think back to what outsiders have come to the inn in recent years and may become enemies, the old man couldn't come up with it, but there is a person who walked out of our inn, this person's disguise skills are quite superb, I think it could be him?"
As soon as he said this, Li Xunlian immediately remembered that after the battle of Shenjian Peak, the ten elders suffered different casualties, but only one person betrayed the mountain gate and took the way.
Even before leaving, they were not less troubled, when the situation was urgent and did not allow them to be distracted and punish the ghosts, and then things were also linked one after another, except for the time when the war had just ended, they could hardly free up their hands.
However, when the war had just ended, the big shopkeeper sent someone to search, but he couldn't find any traces of this person, presumably he should have been picked up by Wei Jiyuan and hidden.
And this person's name is Qiu Jianrui!
"Why did I forget him!" Li Xunlian's eyes tightened, but after thinking about it, he said: "Qiu Jianrui has no reason to come back, and although his disguise technique is superb, it may not be stronger than me, I ask myself if he can't do it without leaving any mistakes, can he?"
Ouyang De shook his head slightly when he heard this, and did not agree with Li Xunlian's statement, so he said solemnly: "Childe's words are wrong, just imagine, what realm were you two years ago, who would have thought that two years later, you would be able to reach the realm of Tianhe?"
Although this disguise technique is complicated, it seems to be much simpler than realm cultivation, right? You can go from Kaixuan to the Heavenly River in two years, so why can't Qiu Jianrui use two months to perfect this way? What's more, who can guarantee whether he has hidden the strength of the disguise technique before?"
