Chapter 11: The Thief's Heart Begins
After saying goodbye to Zhao Xianzong, Tiannan went all the way to the west, and after running for more than a few months, he finally came to the Black Stone City, which was built by collecting ink stones from the nearby Ximang Mountain, which looked incomparably clear, like a creeping hideous beast.
After several months of travel and encounters several dangers on the road, Tiannan's face at this moment no longer has the playful color of the past, and his face is cautious, as if he has returned to the age of nine.
Standing on the wide pavement of Black Rock City, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, Tiannan fell into a deep confusion for a while, originally just curious to come out to play, but then he came straight to this place with an idea, but he just wanted to see a different scenery.
After all, he and his master have been living in uninhabited places for a long time, and they have been yearning for the prosperity and colorfulness of the world all the time in the past ten years.
It's just that I'm really confused here, I have always obeyed the master's arrangement, practice, work and rest, go out, and suddenly I am unrestrained, but I don't feel free, but I don't know what to do.
After standing for a long time, after all, he pulled his legs and went to the nearest restaurant, and he didn't pay attention to everything, and he ate a meal first.
Furenju is also one of the best restaurants in Black Rock City, and the people who can come here are basically monks, and mortals can't get close to it at all, just because this is one of the worldly properties of the Qingxu Gate, one of the seven sects.
The shopkeeper here is Sun Sanlai, the outer disciple of Qingxumen, Sun Sanlai was born in poverty, and he was named Sanlai after his family invited to be knowledgeable, meaning to pre-bless, Shoulai, and Lulai.
Later, due to a coincidence, he entered the Qingxu Gate, which was a chance to soar into the sky, but he was limited by his talent and had no hope of building a foundation for life.
Only five years ago, he was sent by the deacons and elders of the outer sect to take charge of the Fu Renju on his behalf, so as to provide a place to stay and a source of information for the disciples of the sect.
Ten years ago, I don't know what happened, every disciple of the seven sects of Yue Kingdom received a jade slip, which included portraits of two characters, and the sect had an order that anyone who could provide the traces of these two people could get a spiritual treasure, several exercises, and ten thousand spiritual stones.
Sun Sanlai was also tempted, but there was no progress in exploring for several years, and it was not until he was sent here that he slowly rested his mind.
The life span of a Qi cultivator is not more than a hundred years, and Sun Sanlai just wants to spend his old age in peace at the moment and save some yellow and white things for future generations.
It's just that today is different from the calm of the past, in previous years, only one or two monks would come to settle here, but today there are already three.
And these three are not from their own sect, one of them is a man and a woman, with a beast picture embroidery on their chests, obviously a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect, and another yellow-faced man who is sitting alone, but there is no obvious mark, and he can't see his heels, even if he looks at the three people sitting in the hall, Sun Sanlai doesn't dare to be careless.
He is already a ninth-level Qi cultivator, but these three people themselves can't see through it, which shows that these three people's cultivation is above him, and the cultivation of the True Realm is the class, one point is weaker, and one point weaker is lower.
"Seniors, the juniors are the outer disciples of the Qingxu Sect, since the seniors are here, if there is anything they want to explore, just ask, the juniors know everything and say everything. Sun Sanlai stepped forward and asked.
Hearing this, the yellow-faced man didn't pay attention to it, and had already drunk himself, but it was the male disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect who spoke, "Let me ask you if you have any news about those two people recently?"
Sun Sanlai was contemptuous when he heard this, if there is really news, it is your turn to inquire, it is really stupid, you are blind to this talent.
But he still replied respectfully: "But there has been no news, and those two people seem to have disappeared in the past ten years." ”
The man was obviously not satisfied, and was about to continue the questioning, when he was interrupted by a shout.
"Shop, two servings of good osmanthus cake, a pot of sake, and some specialty dishes, hurry up, I'm hungry!"
As the words fell, a young man dressed in coarse linen walked in, and this person was Tiannan.
Hearing this voice and tone, the three people in the store all looked at each other almost at the same time, and even the yellow-faced man who had been drinking by himself couldn't help but raise his head.
Sun Sanlai subconsciously thought that it was a worldly person who had strayed into this place, and he wanted to punish him, but at a glance, he was shocked that this person's cultivation was still above himself.
Immediately, he smiled and said, "Senior, wait a minute, I'll arrange it." ”
After Tiannan sat down, he looked around and found the three people who had already sat down, but he only glanced at it, and he was not surprised, he had followed the master since he was a child, and he obviously didn't know that there were very few monks in this world, and not everyone could embark on the road of transformation.
Perhaps in his opinion at this moment, these three people are too weak, compared to his master's momentum like the abyss and the sea, these three people are like fireflies.
"Brother Tai is also here for the reward?" the man from the Spirit Beast Gate asked with a smile.
Even if Tiannan was careless, he knew that he was asking himself, wiped his mouth and wondered, "What reward?"
"Brother Tai doesn't know?" This time it was the man's turn to wonder, there were still people in the world who didn't know about it?
However, seeing Tiannan's coarse linen clothes, it was somewhat clear, maybe this was an ascetic, so it was not surprising.
"I really don't know, Tiannan has been practicing with his teacher since he was a child, and he is rarely born, and he still hopes that his brother will solve his doubts!" Tiannan arched.
Then, everything was known at a glance by Brother Tai. The man said that he put his hand on his waist, and a piece of jade jade flew towards Tiannan.
This kind of information transmission between monks Tiannan naturally knew about it, and he reached out and took it and put it on his forehead.
Suddenly, messages appeared clearly, just like my own memory.
Just saw the figure in the message clearly, but Tiannan was shocked in his heart.
According to the message, it was Zhang Youdao and Han Li who conspired to steal the heavy treasure of Huang Feng Valley.
Ten years ago, the seven factions began to work together to track down the whereabouts of the two, but it has been fruitless, but the country of Yue has been blocked by the whole territory, so the seven factions firmly believe that the two are still hidden in the territory of the country of Yue.
"Brother Tai has ever seen these two?" the man asked, looking at Tiannan, who had been probing for a long time.
Tiannan was not stupid, suppressed the fear in his heart and replied, "Brother Tai said that I laughed, where did I go to meet these two people with my teacher's penance." ”
"Hey, it's a pity, if we can find the traces of these two people, maybe we can reach the sky in one step. The man sighed and shook his head.
"Hehe, it's a pity, but the fate is determined, and everything is not certain, so don't worry too much, senior brother. The woman, who had not spoken, said with relief.
For a time everyone stopped talking and ate separately.
It's just that the yellow-faced man who has been silent has a thoughtful look in his eyes, and Tiannan's momentary shock is not real, but he has a full view.
This person is Han Li, who has successfully built the foundation, and after the successful foundation building, he found that the entire territory of Yue Kingdom has been blocked, and he has survived several times, and then he finally hid it with the skill of disguise and tenacity.
Over the years, through repeated investigations, I realized that I had taken the wrong path, and if I had traveled north back then, I might not have been able to enter the Namulan grassland, and I would not have been trapped here.
Every year he will come to this Furenju to inquire about the news, and there are usually no high-level monks here, so he is not afraid of being seen through, he originally thought that this time he would return in vain, but he didn't expect to meet this person.
Judging by this person's micro-reaction just now, it is obvious that he knows Zhang Youdao, even if he doesn't know him, he has seen it.
Now that he was in a state of embarrassment, he wouldn't be better off if he wanted to come to that Zhang Youdao, if his position was exposed, he would definitely have a chance to take advantage of it, so Han Li had a plan to bring trouble to the east.
