Chapter 192: Moonlight Island
Ding Qin looked in the direction He Yan pointed out, and it was a table in the corner of the inn hall. Inside the table sat a man with his back against the wall, facing the direction of the doorway.
It's a very alert seat. The more careful people are, the more they have the habit of rushing in the direction of the door when eating. That way, he can observe anyone coming in and out of the door.
However, this alone does not necessarily mean that this person is special. For example, Ding Qin and He Yan, although the two of them are sitting now, although they are not facing the door, they can also see through the whole body.
Ding Qin glanced at it as if inadvertently and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
He Yan said, "That's because you haven't paid attention." Look at the cloth belt on his body. I haven't seen this material since I've been here. I have seen it in the high-end business district of the Star Empire. ”
She paused, "And I asked at that time, this kind of black silkworm silk is a special product of the only special zone in the Star Yao Country, it is extremely expensive, and it is also something that nobles are willing to consume. The environment of the black silkworm production area is extremely harsh, and once it leaves the place of origin, it will die quickly. So, even if people want to expand production, they can't do it. ”
Ding Qin has always been relatively careless about clothing, even if He Yan reminded him, he was not impressed. In this regard, he still admires He Yan more, for example, when she saw her for the first time, she judged from her shoes that she might be going to Kaiyuan City.
However, the information provided by He Yan is extremely important. There was no trade between the Starlight Empire and the Lingyin Continent, and even the Starlight Empire did not know about the existence of the Lingyin Continent. There are only two possibilities for this person to have the things of the Star Empire.
One was plucked from the sea. After a nobleman of the Star Empire was shipwrecked at sea, his body floated here, and the objects were collected by the people here and crushed into his hands.
The other is that he has been to the Star Empire. However, between the Star Empire and the Lingyin Continent, the sea route is so dangerous that it is impossible to reach without a map.
And the map, in itself, should be extremely secret. If this person has a map, he should know about Chiyan Mountain.
Ding Qin had a faint hope in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it again. He couldn't have gone over and asked the man for something.
Whether Chiyan Mountain is friend or foe is still difficult to distinguish. And whether this person is friend or foe is impossible to judge.
What if he himself is a member of Chiyan Mountain? Even in the Lingyin Continent, Chiyan Mountain is so secretive and unknown to the world, which shows that they have extremely strong control over information.
If Ding Qin suddenly revealed that he was looking for Chiyan Mountain in front of such a person, he would most likely fall into extreme danger.
In addition, there is one more thing he must watch out for. At that time, the person with spiritual power above the third order wanted to kill He Yan, but after being stopped by him, he temporarily gave up the plan. If that person was following them all the way, they must have been to the Star Empire.
For a cultivator above the third order of spiritual power, if he wants to get something, whether it is in the Star Empire or the Xuantian Empire, it is an extremely easy task.
After thinking carefully, Ding Qin took a deep breath and said, "Let's just pay attention to him, don't let him feel like we're watching him." If it's the man in black who killed you, you'll be in trouble. ”
He Yan said, "Actually, my first reaction is that it may be that person." ”
Ding Qin nodded slightly, "No matter what, there is a high possibility that this person is not good." To be safe, you sleep in my room tonight. ”
He Yan's face was slightly red, and she didn't make a sound. Ding Qin didn't say much, drank some water, and ate something before saying, "Let's wait for the fifteenth day before going to Moonlight Island." When there are more people, the scene is a little more chaotic, and if something happens, we can deal with it. ”
He Yan did not object. After eating, the two went upstairs to rest. While waiting to go to Moonlight Island, the two did not leave the house again, in case something happened.
Early in the morning of the fifteenth, before dawn, the inn began to move early. The people here are all business-minded, and many coachmen are concentrated in the hall, drinking from time to time, Moonlight Island, how many places are missing, how much is the difference, and so on.
For them, just six or seven miles away, they can make a fortune, and it is definitely a good deal. Moreover, Moonlight Island can't stay overnight, and it can pull a wave when you come back.
And for those who go to Moonlight Island, especially those who pray for blessings, they don't care about this little money at all. For the sake of a good omen, they left early, and they could take a nap in the car, which was much better than walking six or seven miles in the middle of the dark.
Ding Qin and He Yan also came out with the big stream. To show that nothing out of the ordinary got into a coachman's car. The carriages here are specially treated and unusually wide, drawn by six horses, and each carriage can seat ten people, and each person can lay his legs flat.
Considering the danger of evading, Ding Qin and He Yan got into the car with only three people left. If that person was really following them, it was impossible to get on the bus in advance, because there was no telling when they would come out. And there is only one position left, so many people are waiting for the bus, it is estimated that the person will be occupied before he has time to choose.
However, to Ding Qin's surprise, and even a little worried, the two of them got into the car and sat down, when they heard a voice say, "There is another one? ”
As soon as the voice fell, a standard strong man jumped into the carriage. He was still dressed like that, with a black silkworm silk belt of the Starlight Empire tied around his waist.
Ding Qin couldn't help but feel a tightening in his heart. Looking at He Yan again, she also frowned slightly.
Neither of them showed any signs of it, as if the others had looked at them as they had come in, and only glanced at them, then looked away. And the man didn't seem to pay much attention to them, his eyes searched around the car, and then he sat in the backmost seat, closing his eyes and resting.
Such postures and expressions until the car stopped. When they stepped out of the carriage, the sun had already risen, and they were on the shore of Moonlight Lake.
From the shore of the lake to Moonlight Island, there is only one bridge to walk. It is also unknown if it is to better maintain the bridge, which is closed to vehicles. All had to cross the bridge on foot, and if there was heavy goods, there were porters who sold their labour.
After getting out of the car, the man with the black silkworm belt went straight to Moonlight Island, ignoring Ding Qin and He Yan. This made the hearts of the two of them a little lighter.
As far as the eye can see, the whole lake is vast and there is no edge, the lake water is clear, and the bottom is almost visible at the shore. Surrounded by green trees, a stone bridge leads to the moonlight island in the middle of the lake, but it also has a bit of elegant and quiet taste.
The two of them stopped at the shore of the lake for a while, and then followed the flow of people and crossed the bridge towards Moonlight Island.
The entire bridge is made of stone and wood, with stone as the foundation, and intermittently paved with stone slabs to form the main frame, which is connected by wooden planks in the gaps. Although the overall amount of work is not small, and the traces of time can be seen from the stone slabs, the maintenance of the whole bridge is very in place, and along the way, there is no damage to the bridge deck that affects the walking.
After crossing the bridge, you will find Moonlight Island. It's not like two empires, there are facilities such as gates and checkpoints, and there are no people to check and interrogate. Everyone is free to go to the island without any obstacles.
Once on the island, there are two paths. The first road goes straight along the bridge, and a large hall can be seen in the distance, but in terms of architectural style, there is a clear difference from the two empires, and the local treatment seems to be a little strange.
The street sign shows that it is the Moonlight Temple. After the Moonlight Temple, the forest is lush and green, and you can reach the location of the Moonlight Gang through the trees.
On the other hand, you go to the right, and according to the signs, you will be able to trade freely.
Both roads are paved with stone slabs, and the work is meticulous. Beyond the pavement, there is a pebble roadbed, followed by a short meadow, and less than half of the dirt is visible.
Because of this, there is no dust on Moonlight Island, and the air is exceptionally fresh.
If there were no strife, it would be nice to be able to live on such an island.
I don't know why, Ding Qin came up with such an idea.
At this time, the island was already crowded with people, especially in the direction of the Moonlight Temple, forming an obvious flow. It's just that although there are many people, they are very well-behaved, and none of them run around. fourth
After looking around to make sure that no one was staring at him and He Yan, the two began to walk in the direction of the Moonlight Palace. For the sake of safety, Fat Dun was temporarily placed on the shore of Moonlight Lake by him and did not follow up.
After walking a distance, Ding Qin found that not far from the Moonlight Palace, people began to stand on the side of the road, as if maintaining order. These people were dressed in uniform clothes, with a crescent-shaped pattern on their backs, and they all had indifferent expressions and did not say a word.
Obviously, they were supposed to be from the Moonshine Gang.
Before they reached the temple, someone suddenly shouted in front of them, and everyone paused. After that, from the Moonlight Temple, a person was directly knocked out and flew upside down. When he landed, his bones were broken in many places, and it was already very difficult to get up.
Immediately after that, there was also a man wearing a crescent moon pattern. His expression was extremely calm, and he deliberately raised his voice, "Those who dare to make trouble in the Moonlight Hall will be severely punished." Thinking about the first offense, spare your life. With the help of your family, you can go to the medical center next to the Moonlight Hall for treatment, receive the medicine, and leave the island. However, as a punishment, he must not set foot on Moonlight Island for half a step in this life, otherwise he will be killed. ”
With that, he glanced at these people with an extremely cold gaze.
Ding Qin said in his heart, "The methods of the Moonlight Gang are really good. Such carrots and sticks, beating people, and treating people are definitely the best way to establish prestige. ”
The flow of people began to move forward again, and it didn't take long for Ding Qin and He Yan to arrive at the door of the Moonlight Palace.
I was about to go in to see what kind of furnishings this Moonlight Hall was, but I heard someone suddenly on the side, "Dare to ask these two, but Ding Gongzi."
"What girl?"
Ding Qin was slightly stunned. Who would recognize them here?
