Chapter 14 Reinforcements
And so it went on for several days.
Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming informed Drunken Dust Township and Poinsettia Plum of their thoughts, and Drunken Dust Township also let Yue Shenchen and the two of them probably know this, just in case some aspects were omitted.
For the past few days, everyone has been inquiring about the wind and grass at any time, and they have secretly maintained a high degree of vigilance.
Early morning. The weather was nice and the sky was clear. The peach blossoms in the streets have bloomed one after another, and the streets and alleys are splendid.
Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming went for a walk on the street after breakfast, and at the same time made guesses about the possible actions of the Nine Thorough Shadows.
“...... But having said that, after these few days, I think the two of them really have no malicious intent. Fu Yunge picked a peach blossom poking out of the roadside, and said to Dongfang Shiming behind him with his back.
Dongfang Shiming stood behind him, his hands in the waist pockets of his robe, and the spring breeze blew his clothes fluttering, like two butterflies dancing up and down.
He thought for a moment and sighed, "I'm the same, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and maybe it doesn't hurt to be cautious." ”
Fu Yunge thought and nodded. He pinned the peach blossom in his hand into a small ring, gently held it in the palm of his hand, and Yu Rou's appearance gradually appeared in front of him.
The little sister doesn't know what she's doing now? Does she think about herself? Fu Yunge stared blankly at the pink peach blossom in his palm, and his mind was a little distracted.
Dongfang Shiming saw that he was distracted, and his mind was also a little galloping. In fact, how could he not have a similar silhouette, hidden deep in his heart. After not seeing each other for such a long time, he actually occasionally remembers the memory of his childhood.
"By the way, do you know that Xuanhui?"
Fu Yunge's voice came, bringing him back to reality. I didn't expect that this time it was because I was too distracted, and Dongfang Shiming didn't realize it.
"Xuanhui?" Dongfang Shiming thought about it for a moment, and then asked, "You mean...... Is that jade plaque from the drunken dust country?"
Fu Yunge tucked the small wreath into his pocket, lowered his head and said, "Yes." I consulted with the poinsettia plum seniors and knew the function of that baby. ”
Dongfang Shiming had already had some understanding of Xuanhui before, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Listening to Fu Yunge's mention, he was also interested, so he asked Fu Yunge to talk in detail.
In the morning, there are more and more people in the streets, and the people who go to the spring and the merchants come and go. Fu Yunge and the two turned around from a small road, picking a shady place with few people to walk.
“...... Xuanhui is, first of all, a special symbol. Fu Yunge told the story.
"On the altar of Vientiane, the Pure World, the trialist can obtain the recognition of the heavens through his own cultivation, and then obtain his own Xuan Emblem. Therefore, Xuanhui is a representative of superb ability, which can be described as an incomparable honor. ”
Dongfang Shiming understood the same and nodded in agreement. He had known this before, and he wasn't very interested.
Fu Yunge continued: "The text on the Xuan Emblem is given by heaven, and it is the divination of the Heavenly Mandate obtained by the trialist, which is very profound. Many trialists often use this as their name, and over time it has become a common practice. Just like the poinsettia plum and the predecessors of the drunken dust country, Kou Wufu and Yue Shenchen, they are all like this. ”
Dongfang Shiming has also heard of this for a long time, and he understood it when he got acquainted with Zuichen Township before. He felt that his name was okay and that there was no need to change it.
"The first two points are imaginary, and the most amazing thing about Xuanhui is the next one. ”
Fu Yunge saw that Dongfang Shiming's attitude was perfunctory, so he deliberately sold a pass: "The life span of ordinary people is limited to 100 years old." Even health practices have limited results. ”
But the acquisition of the Xuan Emblem erases this boundary. Dongfang Shiming smiled faintly and snatched Fu Yunge's words.
"If you practice properly, you can live even longer. I knew that I was over 500 years old, and I couldn't believe it at first. I used to call him immortal. ”
Fu Yunge knew that Dongfang Shiming knew it, and he couldn't help but be a little depressed. He ran his fingers across the brick walls, his fingertips stained with the gray powder on the walls, and sighed, "I thought it was mysterious, but you know it." ”
Dongfang Shiming saw that his deflated appearance was very funny, and he laughed twice.
Fu Yunge had also guessed that the people in Zuichen Township were not young, maybe they had some mysterious encounters, what exercises they practiced, or what herbs they had taken. But listening to Poinsettia Mei's explanation, he realized that this was all the effect of Xuanhui.
"However, if you keep your appearance forever, the effect of Xuanhui will vary from person to person. Fu Yunge thought of it again, and hurriedly added to Dongfang Shiming.
"Hmm......" Dongfang Shiming was about to speak, but he couldn't help but be silent for an instant.
At this time, the two of them happened to wander to a crossroads of the path, and from the other road, several hurried figures passed very quickly, and rushed away along the horizontal road.
Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming both extended their eyes to that road, but those people turned in front again, and they had lost their traces.
As the sun rises, the path is filled with golden light. The people who had just passed by stirred up the dust on the ground, and it was like gold dust in the sun.
Fu Yunge and the two noticed at the same time that after the dust settled, a shallow layer of footprints was left on the ground, and they had an idea at the same time.
Dongfang Shiming raised his chin: "Let's follow." ”
The two of them walked briskly following the footprints left behind.
They were turning at another corner of the path, getting farther and farther away from the main street of the town.
At the same time, at the house of Drunken Dust Township, Poinsettia Plum boiled a pot of water. He came over with a pot and poured hot water into the teapot by the chessboard.
In just a moment, the tea was fragrant, and the hot air slowly drifted out of the window.
"It's time for them to come today. ”
Drunken Dusty Leaned lazily on the side of the bed, looking at the freshly brewed tea with a little disgust.
Anyway, he doesn't like to drink tea very much, and he prefers the grain wine in the gourd to the light leaf soaking in water.
Poinsettia put down the kettle and sat down on the chessboard, looking out the window.
"Perhaps, it's not surprising that their efficiency won't come today. ”
"But Shiming and Yun Ge said that the auction will be ...... in five days."
Drunken Dust Township took out a crystal clear black chess piece from the chess box and knocked it down on the chessboard with a "snap". What he said came to an abrupt end, as if he had no more strength.
Poinsettia Mei glanced at him and said a little jokingly: "Then it's up to you to be on top, I'll cheer you on." ”
There was a hint of contempt in the corners of Drunken Dust's eyes. The two of them just said a word, and chatted silently for a while.
There was only the sound of falling children in the room.
............
"Well, there's one last point. Fu Yunge stretched out his finger and said to Dongfang Shiming while hurrying, as if he was unwilling to finish speaking.
"The Xuan Emblem contains the power given by God, and carrying it with you can be beneficial to cultivation, so the predecessors of the Drunken Dust Township are used to keeping it close to their bodies and carrying it with them. ”
Dongfang Shiming turned his head with a smile: "This is the first time I've heard you say this, I haven't heard of it before." ”
"Oh oh......" Fu Yunge was a little satisfied in his heart when he heard him say this, but then he immediately restrained his emotions.
Dongfang Shiming also saw the front, and his footsteps immediately stopped.
Not far away, around the corner, they saw the men.
Instead of moving forward, they met up with a few of their companions who had been waiting here.
Fu Yunge made eye contact with Dongfang Shiming, and then shrank behind a peach tree in the corner.
There were about a dozen people together. There are no significant signs of uniformity, and they are all dressed casually, which does not seem to be noticeable.
They stood there and waited a little longer, and then what looked like the leader put his hand to his mouth and whistled softly.
Soon a few people came out of the doors of the two houses on both sides, and it seemed that they were also their companions hiding here.
Seeing that there were many of them, Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming hid back again, hiding behind the wall and listening attentively with bated breath.
When the leading brother saw that the brothers were all here, he cleared his throat, and the brothers around him all straightened up.
"I have just gone to the Great Commercial Pavilion to inquire about the relevant news. The leading brother said at the beginning.
"It seems that the incident here is really not accidental. One of the following companions spoke.
The lead brother nodded "um". He paused, and then said, "The auction of the Great Merchant Pavilion will be held in five days, and the most prestigious auction item is the Golden Wind Peony. Golden Wind Peony is a high-grade and precious medicine, and it is the same as the origin of the previous event. ”
The voice of the leading brother is strong and deep, and it doesn't sound like a bad guy. Listening to what they talked about again, although the two of them were still in the clouds, they didn't seem to be the same kind of Nine Thorough Shadows.
"Brother Chong, but I don't know who did the murder of the criminals in Bu Yuanfang. ”
Another companion interjected, "Besides, although we don't know if there are any other evil parties here, it may be that the problem has been eliminated during this time." ”
As soon as this conclusion came out, Fu Yunge and both of them heard a burst of exhalation, and a comfortable atmosphere spread.
But the two didn't hear the voice of the big brother for a long time, but it wasn't until the end that the thick voice sounded: "Don't be happy too early, it's difficult to conclude this matter." Jue Tongjun gave me the address of a reclusive master in the street, and we must go there. ”
The hidden master, Fu Yunge and Oriental Shiming are excited at the same time.
Probably what they are talking about is Drunken Dust Township, after all, in Chaoyun Street, they have never heard of any other masters except Drunken Dust Township.
When the two of them listened again, the group had already left, and the footsteps seemed to be in the direction of the drunken village.
"Come out. Fu Yunge straightened up and walked out, dusting off the white ash that had rubbed onto his clothes.
Dongfang Shiming followed out. The group had gone away, and the clearing had returned to a quiet emptiness.
"It seems that they are the subordinates of the Agent. Dongfang Shiming said.
Fu Yunge agreed, and then said: "When they thought that the great calamity had been eliminated just now, it really scared me. Luckily, their eldest brother was calm, otherwise I would have had to jump out at that time. ”
"Whether the catastrophe has been eliminated or not is really difficult to determine now. Even if they go to the drunken dust country, they will not get an accurate conclusion. ”
Dongfang Shiming looked at the direction they were going and said lightly.
Fu Yunge just wanted to follow, but when he heard Dongfang Shiming say this, he immediately dispelled his mind.
That's right, the clues that everyone has are completely consistent, and telling them about the current situation of pouring beans from bamboo tubes cannot be conclusively proven. They are a valuable unitary force, and the first thing to do now is to find enough evidence to keep them as much as possible.
"At this time, where is the place you can think of the most?"
Dongfang Shiming suddenly asked.
Fu Yunge was stunned. He retrieved the memories in his head, and soon a name blurted out: "...... Horse Village!"
"I thought so too. Dongfang Shiming clapped his hands applauded.
"Since, according to the predecessors of Poinsettia Plum, Pimazhuang is the main harbor point of the Nine Thorough Shadows, then whether or not to launch the plan depends on whether they are still lurking in Pimazhuang. ”
"But ......" Fu Yunge hesitated a little, "Didn't the senior of Poinsettia Plum think of such an idea?"
"I can't say for sure, but as far as Poinsettia Mei's predecessor said, his information only came from a captured minion, so the organization of the horse farm would inevitably take this as a warning and conceal his whereabouts. In this way, it is more difficult to explore. Oriental poetry gives his own speculation quietly.
"Hmm......" Fu Yunge thought about it and realized something.
The corners of Dongfang Shiming's mouth turned up slightly, and the morning light on the back just outlined the outline of his face, which looked glowing.
"Let's give it a try, maybe it's more rewarding than going back. ”
Fu Yunge no longer hesitated, after all, it was not his style to be cautious all the time.
After the two reached a consensus, they embarked on the journey to Pimazhuang together.
On the path, the bluestone bricks under your feet are polished to shine, and ripples like water waves under the sun's rays.
