Chapter 22: Induction
"You're saying this flicker has something to do with the girl?"
Yin Wanwu looked at the white words on the jade, thoughtful.
Bai Xuan nodded and said,
"Mr. didn't know, when he left, my father told me that since Su Su awakened the soul heart, the white words on this jade can't be dispersed, and there is such a resonance at this moment, it must be related to Su Shu. ”
Yin Wanwu thought for a while,
According to legend, in ancient times, when a man wanted to go to war, the woman would break the mandarin duck jade into two halves, half to the man, half to stay by his side, because of the war, once the war really started, the corpses would be all over the field, the flesh and blood were flying, and even the corpses could not be identified, and the women could only rely on the resonance of the mandarin duck jade to identify their husbands and then bury them. Now this jade has a resonance, I am afraid that it has something in common with this mandarin duck jade. ”
Bai Xuan smiled bitterly and looked at Yin Wanwu,
"Sir, can you not give such an unlucky example?"
But it seems to be understood again at once,
"What does the gentleman mean is that Su Su is nearby, so Puyu has a resonance?"
Yin Wanwu smiled and said,
"I'm afraid so. ”
Since even Yin Wanwu said this, Bai Xuan suddenly became excited, and he had just been angry at the inn, and at this time, it seemed that it was really a piece of cake.
Bai Xuan hurriedly sped up his pace and looked around, although this resonance may mean that Bai Shushu is nearby, but what is the scope of this vicinity and what the direction is, but it is completely unreflected in Puyu.
According to what Yin Wanwu said, the mandarin duck jade should be closer to the stronger the resonance, but Bai Xuan has been shaking around the town for a while at the moment, and the flickering on this jade is still so flickering, and there has been no change in frequency.
"There are people coming and going in this Shimen Town, and I am afraid that the chances are slim like a headless fly. ”
Looking at this lively and crowded street, Bai Xuan was a little worried.
"Why don't you go to some high place and take a look, maybe you will gain something?"
Yin Wanwu's proposal was like a slap in the face, and he woke up Bai Xuan all of a sudden, Bai Xuan patted his head and blamed himself,
"yes, I didn't think of that. ”
After that, he looked around, but the buildings in Shimen Town are generally not high, and the shops are all detached, even if he climbs to the roof, he can't see far, but just when Bai Xuan was distressed, he suddenly found that there was a small attic not far away, although the attic was not high, but it also had three floors, which was a cut higher than other shops.
That's it!
The attic is not far from Bai Xuan, Bai Xuan's figure flickered, and after a while, he was already in front of the attic.
"Sound Finder?"
Looking at the wooden plaque in the attic is vulgar and elegant, Bai Xuan suddenly smiled,
"What a sound pavilion, this name is auspicious, it seems that I can't find my bosom sister, it's all up to you. ”
Bai Xuan didn't even think about it, so he stepped into the attic.
But as soon as he came in, Bai Xuan regretted it.
This sound pavilion was originally a restaurant, the hall at this time was very lively, full of seats, every table is the delicacies of the mountains and seas, fine wine.
In the center of the hall, there is a group of beautiful girls scratching their heads and playing with the guests.
Some of the guests were drunk, some were having fun with the girls, and some were eating from the sea.
At the moment when Bai Xuan pushed the door open, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
And at this moment, Bai Xuan discovered a common point among these people, that is, all the guests present were wearing gray and black robes.
Grey Sect!
Seeing this whole room of Gray Sect disciples, Bai Xuan felt that his head was bigger, and the embarrassment of pushing the door in made Bai Xuan stand at the door like this, the hall that was originally noisy, suddenly fell silent at this moment,
Everyone looked at the boy standing in the doorway in confusion.
"I don't know what this little brother is doing when he comes to me from the Gray Sect?"
A sharp and piercing question broke the silence.
Bai Xuan heard the sound and looked for it, only to see a man slowly coming out of the pile of girls in the center of the hall, the man straightened up, Bai Xuan found that he was tall and scary, the man was naked, was lifting his pants, and walked towards Bai Xuan step by step.
When he got closer, Bai Xuan found that the man's iron-like face had a hook-like nose, and his naked upper body was full of knife marks, like a weird smile, which looked very terrifying.
"That's... Big brother, I don't intend to disturb your party, I just want to borrow the high platform upstairs for use. ”
Bai Xuanbi respectfully saluted the man,
"High platform?"
The man looked at Bai Xuan suspiciously,
"Exactly, I'm looking for someone below, I hope this big brother will be convenient. ”
Listening to Bai Xuan's words, the man smiled,
"Little brother, do you know who I am?"
Bai Xuan raised his head, looked at the face of this iron and stone eagle hook, shook his head and said,
"I didn't ask for advice. ”
The man suddenly burst out laughing, and with this smile, the Gray Sect disciples present all laughed together, even those dusty women, they were eating and laughing.
"Little brother, my name is Mihua, the left protector of the Gray Sect, remember it carefully! Seeing that you are young and ignorant, I will not care about you, take advantage of my good mood today, you get out of here, I should have never seen you." ”
After Mi Hua finished speaking with a sneer, he glanced at Bai Xuan and turned around to go back to those girls.
But Bai Xuan was still standing at the door, motionless.
"Today, our Dharma protector is in a good mood, spare your dog's life, don't get out of here!"
Seeing that Bai Xuan had no intention of leaving, the group of Gray Sect disciples below had already begun to coax.
Even Mihua stopped and looked coldly at Bai Xuan who was standing at the door.
Seriously, how arrogant Bai Xuan is, since he was a child, when did he suffer such a grievance, even Yin Wanwu was a little worried at the moment, and said slowly in Bai Xuan's ear,
"If you really want to make a big fuss, the old man can let you get out. ”
Unexpectedly, Bai Xuan shook his head, and suddenly looked at Mihua with a smile,
"It turns out that you are the protector of the Dharma, and you have admired the name for a long time. I have heard that the Gray Sect has been brave and powerful, and when I saw it today, it is true that the name is well deserved, no wonder the Gray Sect has been so strong in recent years, and the brothers of the Gray Sect have also made great contributions!
Bai Xuan suddenly complimented him and left like that.
In fact, Bai Xuan's compliment is nothing special, it's just that today's occasion of spending all the time and drinking, the wine pond and the meat forest, what kind of heroic and martial arts is indispensable, Mihua always feels that it sounds so bad, but I really don't think that Bai Xuan said anything wrong, let alone Mihua, even the other Gray Sect disciples present always felt that Bai Xuan's words were strange.
But I couldn't think of a reason, so I could only continue to eat and drink.
Bai Xuan walked out of the "Sound Pavilion",
Only then did he sigh and say,
"I don't want to make a big fuss, but what good is this one for me?"
Yin Wanwu heard Bai Xuan say this, and couldn't help but sigh,
"I can't imagine being humiliated like that, you are still so calm, it seems that the old man really underestimated you. ”
Bai Xuan shook his head,
"If it weren't for the fact that I was looking for a dream, I would have skinned this group of bastards a long time ago, Gray Sect, what a thing!"
Bai Xuan thought to himself, if he can't be beaten, wouldn't it be okay to scold a few words.
Bai Xuan scolded a few words indignantly, and then walked to the street again.
Bai Xuan strolled on the street, a little absent-minded, because Puyu had been flickering like that, and along the way, in order to confirm his thoughts, Bai Xuan also inquired about Bai Shushu's traces from some shops around.
Sure enough, these shops kept fooling Bai Xuan to buy their things, and the price was like tea in Shimen Inn, which was ridiculously expensive, Bai Xuan completely understood it now, and then thought of the scene of Fang Cai Gray Sect eating and drinking, Bai Xuan let out a long sigh and said coldly,
"Sooner or later, I will pull out the cancer of the Gray Sect. ”
Bai Xuan was looking around in the town, and suddenly, a tall tower came into his eyes, and when he looked at it, the top of the tower was a small high platform, and on the high platform, there were those soldiers of the town camp.
"It turned out to be the watchtower of the town house. ”
Bai Xuan muttered a few words, thoughtfully, suddenly had a plan, snickered secretly, and returned to the street.
Seeing Bai Xuan return to the street, Yin Wanwu sighed and said,
"The town camp is the head of the Gray Sect, and there must be little hope for this lookout. ”
Who knew that Bai Xuan smiled faintly and said,
"Don't worry, sir, I will be able to take this belvedere. ”
Seeing Bai Xuan's confident appearance, he didn't ask any more questions.
Bai Xuan returned to the street and walked straight to the clothing store.
Seeing Bai Xuan coming, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him,
"What kind of clothes does the guest officer want?"
Bai Xuan ignored him, just looked through it himself in the store, and it didn't take long for Bai Xuan to throw a gray-black costume onto the table.
"That's it. ”
Seeing that Bai Xuan finished choosing, the shopkeeper said again,
"Guest officer, you really have a vision, your outfit is our store..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Bai Xuan suddenly sneered,
"Stop, five hundred gold, one more point I'll leave immediately. ”
Hearing Bai Xuan say this, the shopkeeper obviously said with a sad face,
"Guest officer, you are a bit of a bully, look at this fabric, this material, why don't you add a little more, how about three thousand gold?"
Bai Xuan knew in his heart that this set of clothes was only one or two hundred gold at most, and now that he gave five hundred gold, it had already multiplied several times, how could he know that the shopkeeper of this store was still so insatiable.
Bai Xuan snorted coldly, and he didn't look back to leave.
Seeing that Bai Xuan was really leaving, the shopkeeper was a little anxious, and he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Bai Xuandao,
"Guest officer, guest officer, otherwise, a thousand gold, just a thousand gold, what do you think?"
Bai Xuan's face still did not change, shook off the shopkeeper's hand, and walked straight out of the store.
The shopkeeper is really anxious now, and he is busy shouting,
"Five hundred, five hundred!"
Bai Xuan stopped at this time, threw the five hundred gold on the table, took the clothes and left, and didn't even want to say a word to the shopkeeper.
When Bai Xuan returned to the lookout again, he had already changed into the gray-black robe.
Yin Wanwu laughed out loud at this time,
"It turns out that your kid is fighting this mind, you can. ”
Bai Xuan smiled and didn't speak, and he climbed the stairs of the belvedere with one arrow step.
"Who?"
Seeing Bai Xuan swaggering up to the observation deck so much, the two town camp soldiers from the high platform hurriedly stopped Bai Xuan, Bai Xuan looked at the two people in front of him coldly,
"You're not small, even I dare to stop you?"
The two Zhenfang battalion soldiers looked Bai Xuan up and down, and saw that this young man was gray and black, and he looked so arrogant, who could be besides the disciples of the Gray Sect?
But the disciples of the Gray Sect in Shimen Town are all familiar to them, and Bai Xuan's new face makes them a little suspicious.
"You're a disciple of the Gray Sect?"
Bai Xuan patted the clothes and said with a smile,
"Can't you see?"
The soldiers of the town camp scratched their heads,
"This adult looked at Miansheng, I don't know which rudder it was?"
Bai Xuan was shocked in his heart, he should have thought that the Gray Sect Town Fang Camp was a nest of snakes and rats in Shimen Town, and they had long been familiar with each other's appearances, and when they saw his unfamiliar face, they would naturally be suspicious, but now Bai Xuan was already difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to bite the bullet and say,
"I am... I am... By the way, I'm a close confidant of Mi Protector, so it's normal that you don't recognize me!"
Hearing the title of Mi Protector, the two of them trembled obviously, and hurriedly asked,
"The Mi Protector you are talking about is the Gray Sect's Left Protector Mi Hua?"
Bai Xuan saw that the two of them were shocked by this title, and sneered,
"Could it be that my Gray Sect still has a second Mi Protector?"
The soldiers of the two town houses looked at each other,
"When did Mi Protector come to my Shimen Town?"
Listening to the whispered discussion between the two towns, Bai Xuan shouted in his heart, could it be that the person before was not Mihua at all?
At this moment, another person walked down from the high platform, this person looked taller than the previous two, seeing this person come down, the two town camp soldiers below were also busy saluting,
"Commander!"
The commander of the town camp looked at Bai Xuan and said lightly,
"Yes, Mi Protector just arrived today, and he is being arranged by the old man in..."
As soon as he said this, Bai Xuan interrupted,
"It's at the sound booth at the other end of town. ”
Hearing Bai Xuan say the Sound Pavilion, the commander of the town camp was busy giving Bai Xuan a big gift, and seeing that the commander was like this, the two town camp soldiers were even more frightened and knelt down.
Bai Xuan's heart palpitated, thinking that today was not going well, and he finally let him bump into a good luck thing, and waved his hand,
"Okay, excuse me, don't blame those who don't know, I'm on the order of the Mi Protector to come to inspect your work. ”
Bai Xuan said this just to find an excuse to climb the high platform as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, the commander of the town camp suddenly pulled Bai Xuan aside and whispered,
"My lord, you have bothered, and I hope you can say a few more kind words in front of the Mi Protector, the meeting between the Mi Protector and the Situ family has already been arranged. ”
Bai Xuan hadn't reacted yet, the commander of the town camp just stuffed a bag of gold coins into Bai Xuan's hand, Bai Xuan opened it and saw that there were 10,000 or 20,000 gold inside, and he sighed in his heart.
It turned out that these people from the town camp were bribing the disciples of the Gray Sect like this, no wonder it made this Shimen Town miserable.
But then he thought about it, the Gray Sect united with the town camp to pit himself more than 5,000 gold, and he also pit them once, which can be regarded as a lesson to show the evil breath in his heart, and then he put the gold coin away and said with a smile,
"Don't worry, the commander is so dedicated to his duties, and he will definitely report truthfully to you on the side of the Mi Protector. ”
Hearing Bai Xuan say this, the commander of the town camp laughed,
"Then there is Lord Lao, my lord, you have to inspect well, and the villain will not bother you. ”
After all, he removed the town camp on the high platform, and let them all go downstairs to guard, and respectfully sent Bai Xuan to the high platform alone.
Bai Xuan smiled secretly in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he had unintentionally bumped into Mihua's feast, and actually brought him this benefit, if Mihua knew, he wouldn't have to make his mouth crooked?
Smiling like this, Bai Xuan climbed the high platform alone.
Standing on the high platform, the whole picture of Shimen Town can be seen at a glance, looking at this busy and brilliant Shimen Town, Bai Xuan sighed in his heart, who knows, how much ugliness is hidden under such an appearance.
Bai Xuan glanced at the entire town, trying to identify Bai Shushu's whereabouts from it, but there were too many people coming and going, Bai Xuan's eyes were a little sour, and just when Bai Xuan was about to give up, suddenly a wisp of white silk skirt came into his eyes.
"Long-awaited!"
Bai Xuan looked at the white silk skirt excitedly, but the distance was too far to see the appearance clearly, but from the outline, it was recognizable, long black hair, a white silk skirt, isn't this Bai Shulong!
Bai Xuan saw Bai Shushu walk into an inn and wrote down the location of the inn, so Bai Xuan hurriedly ran down the high platform.
"Your Excellency, have you finished inspecting it?"
Seeing Bai Xuan coming down, the commander of the town camp who was waiting downstairs came up to greet him, Bai Xuan calmed down his excitement and said slowly,
"Yes, I'll go back and report to Mi Protector, what benefits will I have in the future, but don't forget me. ”
Listening to Bai Xuan say this, these soldiers of the town camp who are usually arrogant in front of the people are nodding their heads to see Bai Xuan off at this moment, and they are still chattering,
"Adults go slowly, there is Lord Lao. ”
Bai Xuan sneered and shook his head, then ignored them anymore and ran straight towards Fang Cai's inn.
Standing on the high platform, it seems that this inn is not too far away, but now that I really want to go, it really took Bai Xuan a lot of time, this inn is located in the northwest corner of the entire town camp, it is located in the middle of nowhere, and it seems that it does not belong to the downtown area anymore.
Compared to the inn in the center of the town, this inn did not have any gorgeous appearance, and Bai Xuan wondered why Bai Shushu came here.
Since they are all here, Bai Xuan doesn't want to think about it anymore, he just hopes to see Bai Shushu earlier.
But as soon as Bai Xuan stepped into the inn, the flickering jade instantly dimmed.
"Huh, could it be that this Puyu is just the opposite of the mandarin duck jade that Mr. said, the closer you go, the more unresponsive you become?"
Bai Xuan couldn't figure out how this jade worked, so he shrugged his shoulders and put it back in his heart.
Seeing Bai Xuan enter the inn, the shopkeeper ran out at once, and knelt in front of Bai Xuan, this sudden kneeling really surprised Bai Xuan, and he just wanted to help the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper opened his mouth first,
"Sir, just spare the villain, the villain has already moved out of the town, and he really can't pay so much money. ”
Seeing the shopkeeper's crying so sad, Bai Xuan was puzzled,
"Why do I want your money?"
Hearing Bai Xuan say this, the shopkeeper was even more frightened, and he kept kowtowing,
"Ask the adults to spare the lives of the villains!
Bai Xuan was busy going to help the shopkeeper and explained,
"You have misunderstood, I don't want your money, and I won't want your life. ”
The shopkeeper looked up at Bai Xuan in surprise, his eyes were still full of fear,
"Then your lord is going to..."
Only then did Bai Xuan remember that he was now wearing a gray and black robe, and the shopkeeper must have thought that he was a member of the Gray Sect, so he smiled helplessly,
"I don't want anything, I just want to find someone, and besides, I'm not from the Gray Sect. ”
The shopkeeper slowly got up in shock, looking Bai Xuan up and down,
"Childe is really not from the Gray Sect?"
Bai Xuan smiled,
"Have you ever seen someone like me in the Gray Sect?"
The shopkeeper shook his head thoughtfully and said,
"I haven't seen it yet. ”
Bai Xuan gently patted the back of the shopkeeper to help him calm down, and asked,
"Shopkeeper, do you know where the girl in the white silk dress is who just came to your shop?"
The shopkeeper's face was puzzled,
"Girl, I don't have any girls in the store. ”
Bai Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, could it be that this shopkeeper knew that he was not a member of the Gray Sect, so he suddenly began to want to ask for a price?
Bai Xuan straightened up and looked coldly at the shopkeeper's words,
"I understand your rules, let's say, how much does it cost to say this time?"
Hearing Bai Xuan say this, the shopkeeper waved his hand,
"No, no, Childe, you misunderstood, we are different from the inns in that town, so we don't make this black money, I really haven't seen what kind of white silk skirt girl you said Childe. ”
The shopkeeper's answer made Bai Xuan a little surprised,
"I saw her come in, why didn't you see it?"
Seeing that Bai Xuan didn't believe it, the shopkeeper turned his head to the store and asked,
"Have any of you ever seen the girl in the white silk dress that this boy said?"
I saw that the few customers in the store looked at each other and shook their heads, and even the shopkeeper shook his head and looked at Bai Xuan.
Bai Xuan's heart sank, could it really be that I was wrong?
At this moment, a loud call suddenly sounded in the store,
"Young man, come and sit. ”
