Chapter 438: The Trail of the Old Flower
On this day, a wide carriage slowly drove into Foshan, two horse-drawn carriages, driven by an old man, with a cane inserted in his side, and a bell on it shook gently, making a pleasant sound.
The carriage was obscured by a thick curtain, and the occasional laughter like silver bells could be heard from inside, making people want to open the curtain to get a glimpse.
Behind the carriage, followed by a big man with a wooden expression, this big man looked a little bloated, and followed the carriage expressionlessly, but if you are careful, you will find that the road that the big man walked left a shallow footprint.
Although the ground is not a bluestone slab, it is also pressed with fine stones, and even the carriage in front of it has been pressed, leaving no traces, and the weight of this big man can be imagined.
This group of people is naturally Mu Yi, Nian Nu'er, Worm Jia Yi, followed by the big Han is undoubtedly the big slave, all the way south from Dongting Lake, walking and stopping, it took half a month.
Along the way, Mu Yi was not idle, and while constantly cultivating, he did not forget to supervise the little girl, as well as the big slave to cultivate, as for the insect Jia Yi, because he had just broken through not long ago, he was still in a stable realm, and he was too old, his potential was almost used, and it was difficult to progress in a short period of time.
And Worm Jia Yi himself knows that although he is not lazy, he is definitely not as diligent as a big slave.
On the other hand, the big slave is wearing clothes made of fine iron all the way, which is hundreds of catties, which is definitely very good for his body tempering, and the big slave has been constantly oppressed along the way, and the little girl often feeds the tricks, and finally went further, and his strength has reached the sixth grade, and after the transformation, he can reach the seventh grade.
Because of his simple nature, the big slave made rapid progress in his cultivation, and he was not even pulled down too much by Nian Nu'er.
As for Nian Nu'er, although he didn't go any further, his strength was stronger than before, only Mu Yi couldn't see any progress, but his whole temperament became more and more quiet, giving people the feeling of being like a sea, calm on the surface, but unfathomable.
Half a month, for many people is very short, fleeting, want to practice in half a month, or the strength of a great increase, obviously impossible, in fact, this half a month, Mu Yi's strength has not broken through, still only opened five life wheels, the glass King Kong body is only four consummation, alchemy is still a great success.
Even in the past half a month, he has only been consolidating, increasing the weight of his foundation little by little.
Wu Xiaosi sat under a section of the ruined city wall, basking in the sun, as if he was sleeping but not sleeping, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyes are not actually closed, but open a slit, constantly looking at the city gate, watching the passing crowd.
Since five days ago, Wu Xiaosi was sent here to wait for the arrival of a group of people, according to the words of his own hall master, the person he was waiting for was in a carriage, and the driver was an old man, and there was a cane stuck in it on the horse, and there was a bell on it, which was easy to distinguish, as long as he passed through the city gate, he would definitely not escape his eyes.
Wu Xiaosi is only sixteen years old this year, he was originally a beggar in the city, and he has developed a sharp eye for food all year round, after all, it depends on the person who wants food, such as those who are born as hard laborers at first glance, naturally they don't have much oil and water, and they won't waste time, and those bullies on the street have to run as far as they can.
The ones who really give money are the sons and daughters of those rich families, or some women who go to the street to buy things, and when the time comes, they often get a harvest every time, and Wu Xiaosi is the most shrewd of the beggars.
Later, he was taken a fancy to it, broke away from the beggar's body, and officially joined a gang, this gang is called Puffin Hall, which belongs to the Suzaku Hall, although the Puffin Hall has just been established for a few months, but it has quickly occupied a place in the city, and he also heard that the Vermilion Bird Hall belongs to the overlord in the south, and the power is huge, and the Puffin Hall is only one of the corners.
After knowing these inside information, Wu Xiaosi worked harder and harder, because he knew that this was likely to change his life, but fortunately, Wu Xiaosi's performance was quickly recognized by the above, became an official member of Puffin Hall, and divided a house in the city, with silver money every month, which is undoubtedly a step to the sky for Wu Xiaosi, who has been asking for food since he was a child.
And after becoming an official member of Puffin Hall, Wu Xiaosi was not satisfied, he gathered his former partners who asked for food together, pulled up dozens of people, and then became the head of these dozens of people, which was considered a team leader, just when Wu Xiaosi was proud, he received a strange order.
The hall master of the Puffin Hall personally summoned him and solemnly gave him a task, and then, Wu Xiaosi appeared at the city gate, pretending to bask in the sun every day, but in fact, he kept watching the passing crowd, and had been waiting for the hall master to explain the carriage.
Wu Xiaosi is a smart person, and he naturally understands that he can make the hall master so solemn, and the identity of the person who rides the carriage is absolutely noble, and it may even be a person from the Suzaku Main Hall, so Wu Xiaosi does not dare to be the slightest slack, and as soon as the city gate is opened, he will stay at the gate every day, and he will not leave until the city gate is closed.
However, he didn't see the so-called carriage for a few days, Wu Xiaosi was inevitably a little impatient, could there be any accident?
Wu Xiaosi could only think so, and he was sure that in the few days he came, it was absolutely impossible for the carriage to pass under his nose, so the biggest possibility was that he was delayed on the road, or changed the carriage.
Just when Wu Xiaosi was thinking nonsense in his heart, his eyes suddenly widened, staring at a carriage that was coming in the distance, although the distance was still a little far, but Wu Xiaosi saw at a glance that it was an old man driving the car, and there was something standing next to it.
Suddenly, Wu Xiaosi felt his heart beat rapidly, and then he jumped up from the ground, quickly slapped the dust off his body, and then walked briskly towards the carriage, as he got closer, Wu Xiaosi finally found the crutch, everything was consistent with the hall master's explanation, obviously, this carriage was the person he was waiting for.
When Wu Xiaosi approached quickly, Worm Jiayi discovered the other party, and his eyes became sharper, but when he saw a sign on the other party's cuffs, his expression couldn't help but soften.
"Puffin Hall Wu Xiaosi has seen adults."
Being watched by Insect A and B, Wu Xiaosi felt as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast, this feeling he had when he faced a fierce big dog, and that time, he was almost bitten to death by a big dog, and now, that feeling of danger is even stronger.
Just when the fear in his heart was at its extreme, that feeling suddenly disappeared, and he looked at the old man who was driving the car, smiling at him.
At this time, Wu Xiaosi felt that he was alive again, his heart was already wet with sweat, and his heart was beating faster, he suddenly became more respectful, and whispered his identity.
"Well, lead the way." Worm Jiayi nodded at Wu Xiaosi, and when he saw the logo on the other party's cuffs, he already knew the identity of the other party.
With the great rise of the power of the Vermilion Bird Hall in the south, one after another new halls were established, and the area of Foshan, located in the important area of Guangzhou, was still prosperous, and naturally belonged to the sphere of influence of the Vermilion Bird Hall, so there was the Puffin Hall.
When I first found out that the old man called Hua was the person of Puffin Hall, when Mu Yi arrived, there was already news in advance that the hall master of Puffin Hall was personally selected by Yun Mengxuan, but he had never seen Mu Yi.
Led by Wu Xiaosi, the head snake, the carriage entered the city directly without even going through any checking, and then after driving in the city for a while, it finally stopped in front of a big mansion.
At this time, there were already two people waiting in front of this mansion, this is exactly what Wu Xiaosi quietly arranged for his younger brother to report in advance after receiving Mu Yi and others, these two people are the main and deputy hall masters of Puffin Hall, they know far more things than Wu Xiaosi, and they know that this time it is the flag envoy of Suzaku Hall, the legendary consummation-level powerhouse, Mu Yi.
Although both of them had heard of Mu Yi's name, they had never seen their true faces, so at this moment, both of them were a little nervous, after all, the person in front of them was the master of the flag, and the existence that directly decided their fate, they naturally did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
"Yan Lun, Song Hai, I've seen the Flag Bearer."
Just when Wu Xiaosi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw his own hall master and deputy hall master kneeling on one knee at the same time, making a strange gesture, and said with a face full of piety.
"Ahh
Wu Xiaosi exclaimed in his heart, but he was already clever, although he showed a surprised expression, he still reacted quickly, immediately knelt down, and learned the posture of the two hall masters, and his head also drooped, doing more because he didn't want people to find the horror on his face.
"Flag Bearer?" Although Wu Xiaosi has been joining the Puffin Hall for a while, and knows that there is a Vermilion Bird Hall above the Puffin Hall, but because he has joined for too short, he doesn't know what the Flag Bearer represents, after all, he was just a beggar asking for food before, not a person from the rivers and lakes, otherwise he must know what the Flag Bearer represents.
Although he didn't know what the flag bearer was, as long as he looked at the appearance of his two hall masters, he knew that there must be a big man in the carriage, and he was a big person.
"Brother, are we here?"
At this moment, a little girl's voice came from the carriage, which couldn't help but make Wu Xiaosi even more curious, could this be the adult's sister? It doesn't seem to be loud to hear.
"Yes, it's here."
Then, another voice came from the carriage, and the moment he heard this voice, Wu Xiaosi suddenly felt that his heart calmed down all of a sudden, and his previous apprehension disappeared, and then, he felt that his eyes were dark, and two figures walked out of the carriage.
"Get up." Then, the voice said again, Wu Xiaosi didn't know what was going on, and after hearing these three words, he stood up in a daze, and everything in his body seemed to be out of his control.
When he finally woke up, he only saw a back, it was a figure wearing a Taoist robe, holding a little girl in a green skirt in his hand, but before he could continue to look, a wide back blocked his vision.
And the two hall masters of his own family followed at this time, but the deputy hall master Song Hai glanced at him before entering, Wu Xiaosi was full of excitement, and then quickly followed.
In the living room, Mu Yi sat on the main seat, the little girl sat on the chair next to her, a pair of little feet couldn't even reach the ground, she could only shake it off, and the little girl's mind was also on a few plates of fruit on the table.
Wu Xiaosi had seen these fruits, all of which were transported by ship by foreigners, but they were expensive and not edible for him at all.
Just as he was looking towards the little girl, the big man standing behind the little girl suddenly looked at him and made him tremble in fright.
At the same time, Wu Xiaosi also saw clearly the so-called flag envoy, the young man was a little excessive, but he felt a strong majesty from this flag envoy, which was far from being comparable to his own hall master.
Suddenly, Wu Xiaosi's gaze met the Lord Flag Bearer, and just when he secretly screamed in his heart, he found that the Lord Flag Bearer nodded towards him, and even showed a smile.
"Is the person who first saw the portrait still there?" At this time, Mu Yi's voice sounded in the house.
"Returning to the flag bearer, that man is in the hall, I will call him immediately." It was Yan Lun who replied, but it was Song Hai who went out to call people.
"Well, you've done a good job in this matter, and you can find the specific address of the person who painted the portrait at the moment?" Mu Yi continued to ask, this is the difference between having power and not having power, one has to rely on himself to find it, and the other has to give an order, and someone will do everything to explain.
"Returning to my lord, it seems that the person in the portrait only showed his face once, and then disappeared completely, although his subordinates have sent most of them to search, but they have never found that person, and please punish him." Yan Lun's face turned a little pale.
"It's okay, if that person doesn't want to be found, even if I look for it myself, I can't find it, but it's enough to know that he is nearby, I believe that he will naturally have a way for me to find him at that time." Mu Yi said lightly, since Lao Zhaohua showed up, it must not be far away, he believed that Lao Zhaohua would definitely be able to sense his arrival, so he only had to wait.
Hearing Mu Yi's words, Yan Lun breathed a sigh of relief, and it didn't take long for Song Hai to come back with a person, who was in his twenties, with an honest and loyal appearance, and seemed to have been told in advance, and he would salute in a proper manner as soon as he came in.
Mu Yi just asked some questions casually, where exactly did he meet the people, what the other party was doing at that time, what characteristics did they have, and then sent the other party away, this information was enough for him.
However, after Mu Yi finished asking, he saw that Yan Lun was a little speechless, so he asked directly: "It doesn't hurt if Hall Master Yan has anything to say. ”
"My lord, my subordinates don't dare to hide it, it's really a little strange in the place I just said." Yan Lun didn't dare to hide it, and said immediately.
"Oh, you're saying that the place where the old flower appears is weird? What's so weird about it? Mu Yi suddenly became interested, obviously, the appearance of Lao Hua's appearance was not so simple, there seemed to be something strange inside.
(Well, three thousand in two chapters, four thousand in one chapter, and another ten thousand words!) )
