Chapter 64: The Secret Story of Qingyun
After killing all the people in front of him, Poplar threw the long knife in his hand directly, pulled his legs and ran towards the exit at the other end of the alley.
threw the long knife in order to reduce the burden on himself, and the reason why he didn't put the long knife into the Black Star Ring was because he didn't want to expose the existence of the Black Star Ring, not to mention that he really didn't look down on this kind of long knife.
It seems that after being told by Poplar, Cai'er is really quieter, and I don't know if she is sulking or really becoming well-behaved, in short, this is a good thing for Poplar.
In fact, the two ends of the alley are only about two hundred meters long, but at the moment it is too long in the eyes of Poplar, especially the alley is still bending around, and he almost thought that he had entered a dead end.
The strength of the Iron Hand Gang leader behind him was obviously much higher than that of Poplar, and he was originally more than a dozen steps away from him, but after Poplar ran forty or fifty meters with all his might, the other party had almost chased after him.
But luckily, the exit was right in front of him, just ten meters away, and he was confident that he would be able to escape the alley before the other party caught up with him.
However, the bad thing is that when he was only five meters away from the exit, five members of the Iron Hand Gang suddenly jumped out from the exit, and they looked blankly at the rushing Poplar and the gang leader and the others chasing after Poplar, as if they didn't quite understand what was going on.
"Stop him, don't let him escape!" Originally, the leader of the Iron Hand Gang was both annoyed and helpless when he saw Poplar about to rush out of the alley, but when he saw the five subordinates who suddenly appeared, his heart suddenly rejoiced, so he hurriedly shouted loudly, although doing so would slow him down a little.
Although the five gang members did not understand what was happening, they heard the gang leader's order, and they quickly drew their long knives to stop Poplar.
"Ah, what about Poplar, what can I do!" Cai'er couldn't hold back any longer after feeling the crisis of Poplar at the moment, and exclaimed in his mind again.
Although Poplar was also taken aback by the five Iron Hand Gang members who suddenly jumped out, he did not stop because of this, and continued to rush forward under the shocked eyes of the five Iron Hand Gang.
"Damn, this guy is crazy, how dare he rush up with a weapon in his hand, is it possible that he has cultivated invulnerability?" The idea came to the minds of the five gangsters.
Seeing that Poplar was about to collide with them, although the five gangsters were a little suspicious in their hearts, they still gritted their teeth and went up, after all, the gang leader was behind Poplar, and they had to fight hard.
However, when the long knives in their hands were about to take a fancy to each other, suddenly the person in front of them disappeared.
"Gone!" There was a look of disbelief in the eyes of all five.
"Where have the people gone?" Some people couldn't help but look left and right, as if trying to find the figure of the poplar.
"People are behind you, you fools, don't chase after you!" The leader of the Iron Hand Gang was also a little surprised at how Poplar rushed out, and seeing that his five subordinates were still looking for each other's figures in a daze, this made him suddenly angry.
Originally, the five gangs were at the exit to stop Poplar from leaving, but now they blocked their gang leader's way, and they could only watch Poplar hide in the crowd and finally disappear.
A group of Iron Hand gang members rushed into the street to find out the trace of Poplar, but at this moment Poplar had already run away, and after finding a boundary of nearly 100 meters, they could only reluctantly withdraw their troops and return to their lair.
Poplar was almost exhausted, and he didn't know how far he had already run, and he couldn't run anymore at the moment.
The clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat, and his hair was stuck to his scalp and knotted into pieces, which looked very strange.
He crossed his waist with one hand, propped up on the brick wall of an alley with one hand, his mouth was spitting, his face became pale from the violent running, and his spirit became a little sluggish.
"Topol, are we safe?" Cai'er couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, it should be safe." Poplar said with some uncertainty.
After regaining a little strength in the alley, he walked outside.
The streets are full of pedestrians, with shops on the left and a small river on the right, in which many boats resemble canoes.
Every 10 meters or so there is a ramp on the embankment, the lowest part of which is almost in contact with the water, and many women are washing clothes and quilts on these ramps.
Every nearly 100 meters on the river surface, there will be a stone-shaped arch bridge, the arch bridge can be walked, and the arch bridge can be passed by boat.
He hadn't gone far when he saw a teahouse in front of him and was feeling thirsty, so he walked towards the teahouse.
The teahouse has two floors, and for the sake of safety, he went directly to the second floor, where the view is wide, and if those people from the Iron Hand Gang chase after him, he can see it at a glance.
Not long after Poplar sat down, a teahouse guy came over and asked, "This guest officer doesn't know what to drink?" ”
"What tea do you have here?" Poplar asked nonchalantly.
"The most famous thing we have here is jade black tea, in addition to jade black tea, there are also Tianhai tea, Xiaochun tea, ······" The teahouse guy reported the names of more than a dozen teas in one go.
Bai Yang thought for a while and said, "Just have a pot of jade black tea." ”
"Okay, guest wait." After taking the silver ticket from Poplar's hand, the man respectfully retreated.
The tea hadn't come up yet, but the sound of the conversation between the two people next to him had reached his ears.
Originally, Baiyang didn't care much, but the two talked about the Qingyun Monument as they talked.
These two people don't look like immortal cultivators, they are tall and burly, full of heaven, and their eyes are shining, and there are two black sheath long swords on the table, which look more like people in the martial arts.
"Brother Wang, I don't know if you've ever heard of such a thing as Qingyun Monument?" One asked with a smile.
"Qingyun Monument, it seems that I have heard of it somewhere, what's wrong Brother Liu?" The other asked, puzzled.
"Brother Wang is really a noble man who forgets things, can't he even remember the famous Qingyun Monument?" The man surnamed Liu asked with a look of surprise.
"Qingyun Monument, Qingyun Monument, ah! I remembered, could it be that Brother Liu was talking about the legendary Qingyun Immortal Sect's Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure Qingyun Nine Monuments? The man surnamed Wang frowned and muttered a few times, then suddenly asked.
"Exactly." The man surnamed Liu smiled and nodded.
"Brother Liu suddenly asked what he was doing about this, could it be that this Qingyun Nine Monument was found by which Immortal Sect?" The man surnamed Wang asked puzzled.
"Hahahaha." After the man surnamed Liu laughed a few times, he pointed at the man surnamed Wang and asked with a smile: "Brother Wang, can you pinch it?" ”
"What, could it be that this Qingyun Nine Monument was really found by which Immortal Sect?" The man surnamed Wang asked in surprise, if this is the case, this is a big event.
The man surnamed Liu shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know if I was found by any Immortal Sect, but recently someone has been spreading the news of the appearance of Qingyun Monument. ”
"Ah, who is so bold as to dare to spread rumors about this, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" The man surnamed Wang was a little surprised.
"Heh, since the other party dares to do this, I think this matter is eighty percent likely to be true, and it is very likely that there are big forces interfering behind this." The man surnamed Liu took a sip of tea and said with a sneer, expressing his judgment.
The man surnamed Wang frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded and asked: "If this is really the case, then it is very likely that this Qingyun Nine Monuments has fallen into the hands of a certain immortal cultivation sect, and the rumor-mongers hope to use this to create pressure on the other party, but what is this Qingyun Nine Monuments for, and why do those immortal cultivation sects attach so much importance to it?" ”
The man surnamed Liu shook his head and said, "Who knows, but I have heard people say that there seems to be an immortal family method hidden in this Qingyun Nine Monuments." ”
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional, Bai Yang suddenly remembered the strange scene when he saw the Qingyun Tablet on the far left in the secret room that day, thinking about this scene, there suddenly seemed to be a vague voice in his mind, but this voice was fleeting, making him feel very unreal.
"By the way, at that time, I seemed to have inexplicably improved my divine consciousness after looking at that Qingyun Monument, of course, at that time, it should not be a divine sense, it can only be regarded as spiritual power, could this Qingyun Monument be able to improve the divine consciousness of immortal cultivators?" Poplar couldn't help frowning and guessing.
If it was really what he had guessed, then this Qingyun Monument would be too terrifying, no wonder even the Great Immortal Cultivator would go crazy about it.
Originally, although Bai Yang felt sorry for the nine Qingyun Tablets that were wrong and did not know the purpose, he did not think that he had to take them back, and at this moment, when he learned that this Qingyun Stone Tablet could enhance his divine sense, he was not only regretful, if it wasn't for the Qilin Pavilion being too powerful, he even couldn't wait to shuttle over and get back the Qingyun Tablet that belonged to him.
In the sound of Liu Wang and Wang talking, the teahouse guy quickly brought up the jade black tea belonging to the poplar.
The jade black tea is served in a purple clay pot, and the teacup is also a small purple cup.
Poplar curiously poured out the tea from the teapot, and there were a few blood-red tea leaves floating on the red tea, which complemented the purple teacup, which looked quite beautiful.
Before he could bring the teacup close to his nose, a refreshing fragrance entered his nostrils, making him feel a burst of joy.
"Sure enough, it's good tea." After Bai Yang drank it, he couldn't help but praise it, this pot of jade black tea cost him five taels of silver tickets, and it hurt his heart for a while at that time, but after drinking it, he felt that it was worth it.
After resting in the teahouse for half an hour, Poplar got up and left.
Although his consciousness was not fully restored, it was also half recovered.
After finding a passer-by to ask for the location of the Zhou family's Baishan Hall, he walked briskly along the bottom of the river.
Baishantang is the shop that specializes in selling medicinal materials in Zhou Kun's memory, and it belongs to one of the industries of the Zhou family.
The reason why I don't ask about the whereabouts of other medicinal herb shops is because there is really no need for this, because the Zhou family belongs to one of the three major families in Fengshui City, among which medicinal materials are the main business of the Zhou family, and ninety percent of the medicinal materials in Fengshui City are controlled by the Zhou family, and one percent of the medicinal materials are controlled by the underground dark market, and there is no living space for other medicinal herb shops at all, which has almost become the norm in Fengshui City.
It can be said that the Zhou family's Baishantang is a monopoly in this Fengshui City, and if you want to buy medicinal materials, you can only go there, of course, if you have a way, you can also go to the dark market, but for ordinary people, there is not much difference between going to the dark market to buy medicinal materials and a fat sheep walking into the wolf's den by himself.
The Baishan Hall of the Zhou family has almost opened all over the entire Fengshui City, whether it is the east or west of the city, whether it is the north or south of the city, whether it is in the city or the corner of the city, there are more than 100 Baishan Halls in the entire Fengshui City.
The largest of these is located on Tianhe Street on the edge of the northeast wharf, and this Baishantang occupies almost the entire street, surrounded by rivers on all sides, and has a total of four stone arch bridges to connect to the outside world.
When Poplar stepped into the street in front of Baishantang from the south bridge, he was simply stunned by the scale of Baishantang in front of him, which was simply a commercial building in an ancient civilization.
