Yi Shenghe couldn't remember how long he had been gone, but he remembered that when he first went out, it was not yet dawn.

After reading the story on "The Mystery of the World", Yi Shenghe was uneasy. The palpitations that came from nowhere have kept him in good spirits until now.

From the moment he sat up in bed, Yi Shenghe knew what he was going to do today.

After all, it happened suddenly, and once it was dragged up, it would definitely be endless. At that time, not only will he not be able to settle down every day, but if something happens to Yi Shengge, no one will be able to help.

Yi Shenghe simply packed up his clothes, gently pushed open the door of the room, and left in no hurry.

Yi Shenghe first walked outside Yi Shengge's room and listened sideways. Just a door away, he could hear Yi Shengge's slight undulating snoring, it seemed that Yi Shengge had fallen asleep, and the soothing soup worked, just right.

There is a cool breeze on the corridor from time to time, and in the early hours of the morning, blowing on the face, it gives people a sense of sobriety splashed with cold water.

Yi Shenghe walked to the front hall, and the front door, which had been locked last night, was now slowly opened by Yi Shenghe, who was tiptoeing.

With a creak, I saw that the moon was overhead, and through the gap between the two doors, the moonlight shone in.

Yi Shenghe only opened a width just enough to allow himself to go out sideways, and after going out, he slowly closed the two doors again. However, he didn't add any other actions when he closed the door, so as not to make it troublesome for Yi Shengge to get up in the morning and open the door.

It's not dark outside, although the moonlight is on it, but because it's not too far from the market, plus the people of Fanyin City, some people will kindly hang a lamp on the side of the road after getting up at night, so as to illuminate the direction for pedestrians at night.

Yi Sheng walked through the bazaar, following the route he remembered, without a moment's hesitation, but his pace was not too fast.

At this time, the streets of Fanyin City are the most charming in the eyes of Yi Shenghe. Tranquil and elegant, without the hustle and bustle of the day, only grass and moonlight remain. Even though it's a delicate time now, Isamu still enjoys it.

Just enjoy and enjoy, and don't forget the business. Yisheng Hemai walked briskly through the street with small steps.

If it's too fast, and now the light is very insufficient, if you accidentally bump into something, it won't be worth the loss. And when the time comes, if the noise is caused by wakes up the sleeping people, those who don't know will think that the house is a burglar.

After passing through the familiar streets of Fanyin City, I came to the other side of Fanyin City, in the opposite direction from yesterday's return.

Strange to say, although Fanyin City is the junction of the four cities, it does not have a city gate like other cities.

Fanyin City is just on the four sides of the city, and four signs with the name of Fanyin City are erected high. When people walk under this sign, they can be regarded as entering and exiting Fanyin City. Occasionally, it is managed, but only during the day.

Now Yi Shenghe is standing under the sign, although the sky is much brighter than just now, but the front is not like Fanyin City, there are many families, so you can only see a pitch black in front of you.

Not far ahead, there is the source of the city. From walking out of Fanyin City to entering Yuansu City, there is still a distance in between.

Yi Shenghe's sense of direction is not good, and he can't see anything clearly in front of him, so if he rushes forward, he will get lost and will not be able to walk back until dawn. This is a waste of time and physical strength.

It's better to take a little rest under the sign of this Fanyin City, and it's been a long time anyway.

Unlike yesterday's return from the Guanjin Mansion in Qiang Yan City, although Qiang Yan City is very close to Fanyin City, the Guanjin Mansion is not in the center of Qiang Yan City, but in a relatively remote place. So even if it is from the Guanjin Mansion to the Song Medicine Hall, it will take a long time.

And the Yuansu City that I am going to go to now is far away from Fanyin City, not to mention the specific location of that person's family in Yuansu City.

Yi Shenghe's body softened, after all, he still felt very uncomfortable after not sleeping for so long.

"Ah, lad."

The sudden greeting frightened Yi Shenghe so much that his hairs stood on end. As if he was about to jump, he nervously looked around to see where the sound was coming from. I really didn't expect that there would be people who didn't sleep at this time and wandered outside Fanyin City.

"What are you doing standing here? Are you waiting for someone? ”

After determining the source of the voice, Yi Shenghe looked over and it turned out to be an older grandfather.

The old man walked over to Yi Shenghe's side and stopped. By the light of the fire in the old man's hand, Yi Shenghe looked at him.

He is a very thin person, and his walking pace seems to be very slow. No wonder Yi Shenghe didn't even hear the footsteps just now, let alone sense him coming.

"No, I'm just going to go to Yuansu City, but it's too dark to see the way clearly, so I'm just waiting here for dawn."

"Oh, I see. That's right, I have a lamp in my hand, you can follow me, and I'm also going to go to the source city. ”

"No, you can go first, thank you for your kindness."

Yi Shenghe thanked him very sincerely, but the vigilance in his heart did not let go. He had never seen an old man walking around outside at such a time. Yi Sheng's hands were pressed against his waist and he stood straight.

There is a rule that the gates of the city are opened at dawn and closed when it is dark. Compared to the openness of Fanyin City, Yuansu City is more like a good boy who abides by the rules, never letting people go out in the middle of the night or return in the middle of the night.

And the gatekeepers of Yuansu City are sent by the big families in Yuansu City, dignitaries and dignitaries to guard the city.

If it doesn't matter, at this point in time, if you want to enter Yuansu City, it will be difficult to climb to the sky except to reward them with a lot of money and let them open the door. And this old man does not seem to meet either of the above two requirements.

The old man was not in a hurry to leave, but stopped where he was, stood in front of Yi Shenghe, and chatted with him.

"Young man, you are ready to go to Yuansu City before dawn, but is there anything urgent?"

"No, just looking for a relative."

"Relatives who are looking for the city? Is it a rich man? Maybe I know each other. ”

"No, it's just an ordinary person."

"Then where is his house in Yuansu City, maybe I can take you to find him."

"Thank you, I know where it is."

"It's okay, but do you know that this Origin Tracing City is not something that can be entered casually."

"Of course, so I'll go there when it's dawn."

Yi Shenghe still only replied to the old man's words briefly, and had no intention of going with him.

"No, lad. Although you don't talk much, you must have an urgent reason to get up at this point now, and wait here to go to the source city. I don't think you want to reveal it, but I can help you get straight into the city. ”

"Really?"

Yi Shenghe was a little surprised, sure enough, in Yuansu City, people can't look good, and the identity of this old man can't be guessed.

"Really."

"Thank you so much, you have a good reward."

"It's okay, it's fun to help others, anyway, I'm idle now, it's better to go back to the source city to rest early."

"So what do I need to do?"

"You just have to follow me every step of the way."

"Okay."

After the old man finished speaking, he saw that Yi Shenghe had already agreed to his suggestion, and then began to walk towards Yuansu City.

Yi Shenghe followed behind the old man, and the old man leaned on the light in his hand, and the sky gradually brightened up. Although the pace is not fast, it is still a vigorous walk.

When the old man walked, he didn't talk much, but he told Yi Shenghe some small details to pay attention to in Yuansu City.

Yi Shenghe nodded in thanks, but didn't say anything about his whereabouts.

After walking for a while, the two of them arrived at the gate of Yuansu City. There were two gatekeepers who looked very energetic, and they were staring closely at the two of them, but when they saw the old man's face clearly, they didn't say a word, and opened the city gate.

The four of them looked at each other without saying a word, and they didn't speak, which was very tacit. Yi Shenghe didn't look around, just followed the people in front of him, saw the road under his feet, and made sure that he walked into Yuansu City safely.

After entering the Yuansu City, the gate slowly closed again. At this time, the old man turned around and looked at Yi Shenghe.

"Alright, young man, now you're in the Origin City. Now that you know the specific location of the relatives you are looking for, and now that the sky is much brighter, you can just go and look for it, and I can only help you get here. ”

The old man touched his beard and looked at Yi Shenghe, his loving eyes as if he were looking at his own children.

Facing the old man's concerned words, Yi Shenghe thought of his previous narrow view of the old man, and was suddenly full of shame.

"Thank you for your help, today's kindness, Yi must keep it in mind, if there is an opportunity in the future, he will repay him with a spring."

It was originally a kind smile, but when the old man heard Yi Sheng Heqian call himself Yi, his smile faded a lot.

"I don't know your last name, what should I call you?"

"Don't have your surname Ni."

"Elder Ni, thank you again."

Yi Shenghe said as he bent down and bowed his head in awe.

"Alright, go ahead, kid. We will have a chance to meet again when we meet in the mountains and rivers in the future. ”

"Yes."

The old man waved his hand and told Yi Shenghe to go quickly, so as not to stand here and make this useless gift and waste time.

Yi Shenghe replied briefly, bowed again to the old man, and hurried away.

The old man watched as Yi Shenghe disappeared between the streets, and there was no smile on his face.

On the two houses closest to the old man, two men in black jumped down with strong skills and covered their faces. The two of them looked at the old man in unison, as if waiting for his instructions. The old man just nodded and didn't say a word.

The two of them parted ways, silently, and the old man was still standing where he was, and they were gone.
