"I asked you to leave yesterday, why do you want to delay one more day in Shuyang?"

It was a room, and the windows were covered with thick curtains, so that no light could penetrate.

There was only one oil lamp lit in the room, which emitted a faint glow.

A boy in a black robe sat at the table, his eyes were dark, and the bottom of his eyes seemed to hide an abyss, so that people could not see the bottom at a glance.

A man in a black robe sat across from him, looking completely unrecognizable in the crowd.

Hearing the boy's question, the black-robed man didn't have any special look on his face, and only looked out the window.

Two carriages, one large and one small, passed under the house.

"This is our industry, don't worry."

"South Africa Creek came here in person, and he will definitely spend a lot of money to let the government find someone." The boy frowned, a little dissatisfied, "How are we going back?" ”

"Go back?" The black-robed man sneered, "When did I say I was going back?" ”

"Where are we going if we don't go back?"

"Worm, don't worry, since we have come to Shuyang, why should we go to the Xu family to visit."

The boy frowned, his face full of disapproval.

"You and I have completed the task of this trip, you don't have to make any more extraneous branches."

The black-robed man didn't care about the boy's attitude, "How could I do something self-defeating, but I'm just a little curious about the Xu family, take a look, don't talk about me, can't you feel at ease?" ”

"Just look at it and don't do anything superfluous." The boy eventually relented.

The black-robed man chuckled, "You've been too cautious lately, and you've been as timid as a mouse after being injured a little?" ”

The boy ignored him with an indifferent face, but the hand hidden under the robe quietly lifted and pressed down on the left side of the upper abdomen, and the boy's left hand pressed lightly, without encountering any obstacles, and the flesh easily dented in—there was a rib missing.

The black-robed man seemed to notice the boy's small movements, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a strange smile, "That bone is broken and broken, the past is gone, don't think about finding it anymore." ”

The boy stopped talking, turned his head and glanced at the bed on the side, the curtain of the bed was not lowered, there was a thick quilt on it, and the flames of the oil lamp jumped, vaguely illuminating the scene on the bed, but I saw that the quilt on the bed was slightly raised, and there seemed to be a person lying down.

Huailing County.

A horse-drawn carriage stopped at the mouth of an uninhabited alley.

Yu Xia jumped out of the carriage.

"Brother Lu, Uncle Wu, you wait for a while, I'll come out after I finish picking up the things."

Yu Xia said and entered the alley and walked into a very small and inconspicuous feng shui shop.

"What do you want to buy, this guest officer?"

There was only a middle-aged man in the shop who looked like a shopkeeper, with two mustaches on his lips, and an abacus in his hand that crackled.

"I want twenty-four Pure Heaven and Earth runes made of sheep's hair, pen, pine ink, cinnabar, and paper."

The shopkeeper raised his eyelids when he heard this, and when he saw that it was Yu Xia, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"There is no place in the Pure Heaven and Earth Rune Shop, do you want to go with me to get it?"

Yu Xia nodded, and followed the shopkeeper through the back door of the shop.

"Hall Master Chen left yesterday, the two Jiang brothers are still there, you can find them if you have anything, if the situation is urgent, Huailing Daoyuan Hall has its own way to contact other branches."

It turned out that this was where the Daoyuan Hall of Huailing County was located, and when Yu Xia followed the three Chen Daojiang brothers here, he had met with the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper recognized Yu Xia at a glance.

Jiang Lingfan had specially told her that other Xuan masters came here to talk to the shopkeeper.

That code word was the one that Yu Xia said.

The Pure Heaven and Earth Rune is a high-level talisman that is used to purify and sweep away filth, and the twenty-four pieces represent the twenty-four counties.

This is the purpose of Daoyuantang, and it is also the pursuit of the Taoist envoy.

The shopkeeper took Yu Xia to the backyard and left, and Yu Xia bypassed the maze array alone and came to the brick hall of Daoyuan Hall.

Yu Xia familiarly found the class room where he had discussed with Chen Dao and the others before, and was about to knock on the door, when the door opened.

Jiang Lingfan was about to go out, Leng Buding found a person standing in front of the door, stunned for a moment, and then saw that this person still knew him, and immediately cried out in surprise.

"Yu Xia? How did you end up here? ”

Jiang Lingfan got along with Yu Xia for a few days, and was asked by Yu Xia to break through the realm, and he had a very good impression of her.

Xu Hao's murder case was before, they left from Dengyun Tower, and just in time for the end of the Xuanshi Conference, Jiang Lingfan still had a lot of reluctance in his heart, thinking that he would see Yu Xia again in the future, and he didn't know what year and month it should be.

Unexpectedly, only a day later, Yu Xia appeared in Daoyuan Hall.

"Something's wrong."

Seeing Yu Xia's serious expression, Jiang Lingfan didn't care about reminiscing, and immediately invited her in.

Jiang Jiu was sitting behind the desk, consulting a bunch of files, he didn't pay much attention to who Jiang Lingfan seemed to be talking to before, but now he saw Jiang Lingfan leading Yu Xia in, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

"Miss Yu?"

Yu Xia greeted Jiang Jiujiu and went straight to the point, "Gu Dabao's sister Gu Xiaobao was taken away by two unknown people. ”

Under the shocked gaze of the Jiang brothers, Yu Xia told them in detail the ins and outs of going to Shuyang to find people.

"Now the county government of Shuyang has started to search for people at the request of Miss Nan, but we went a day late, and the three of them are afraid that they have already left Shuyang, I think about it, and I think that this matter should still come to you."

Yu Xia said, and handed the three portraits that Shu Yang had asked for earlier.

"I guess Gu Xiaobao was probably taken away by the Xu family or the Gu Master who infiltrated the Central Plains."

Jiang Jiujiu nodded.

"Gu Dabao killed Mrs. Xu's grandson, and Mrs. Xu didn't have any special reaction after learning that the real murderer was taken away by us, which has to make people suspicious."

Jiang Jiujiu's words were also what Yu Xia thought.

When she was accused of being the murderer before, Mrs. Xu killed her.

Although she couldn't feel how much Mrs. Xu loved her grandson, it was obvious that Mrs. Xu didn't want her grandson to die.

Or maybe they don't want their grandchildren to die right now.

Although she didn't know what the Xu family was plotting, she could guess that this matter must be very important.

Mo Xunya of the Heavenly Star Sect knew some inside story about this, but unfortunately Mo Daochang didn't reveal anything in front of her, and she refused the other party's invitation to accept her as an apprentice, so naturally she had no shame to spy on the news from him.

In fact, the moment Yu Xia knew that Gu Xiaobao had been abducted, she decided to ask Daoyuantang for help.

Let's not say that Yuantang should have been in charge of these things, but another reason was that when she was called by Mo Daochang to explain the Four Elephants Covering the Sky Array that day, Chen Dao was also there.

To a certain extent, Chen Dao is trusted by Mrs. Xu, and he knows much more than ordinary people. ...
