Shi Ziling looked at Kong Mingzi and said, "Since you have returned, you should know their whereabouts, why do you still ask me?"

Kong Mingzi said: "I have been hanging around the city gate every day these days, hoping to see the two of them leave as soon as possible, so that I can go back to my Taoist temple and live my free life."

"I saw them from afar yesterday when they went out of the city, but I really don't know what they are doing in the city these days. My strength is far from that master's, how dare I risk watching them? ”

Shi Ziling said: "I see, if you want to know the details of the road, why don't we go to the backyard and say it." ”

Kong Mingzi thought about it, although there are not many people here, but it is not as clean as the backyard, so he packed up the fortune-telling flag and walked to the backyard of the Taoist temple with Shi Ziling.

After coming to the empty backyard, Shi Ziling concisely told Kong Mingzi about the several battles with the Dark Sect Master in the past few days, and Kong Mingzi couldn't help but be startled when he heard that the two were about to face each other in the bamboo forest not far behind.

Kong Mingzi said: "You guy is really powerful, even the sect master's 'Dark True Sword' mastery can't help you, no wonder everyone says that you can already compete with Tongtian Sect Master Li Yuan." ”

"It turns out that the sect leader really left Songhu City because of you, so my old Taoist priest really wants to thank you for letting me have another leisurely life, but I don't want to live the kind of days of fighting and killing in the past. ”

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "You old Taoist priest is very slippery, as soon as your sect leader came, you slipped away, they just left on their front feet, and you slipped back again, it is really not easy to be your sect leader." ”

Kong Mingzi sighed: "My old Taoist priest has been born and died for this sect for so many years, and finally made up his mind to quit, what if the sect leader doesn't agree?"

"Anyway, I'm determined never to go back, even if I want to be the sect leader, I won't do it. By the way, you haven't said how you came here today, I know that you have set up a secret sentry within ten miles of the barracks, but I was very careful when I came back, you can't know the way so quickly?"

Shi Ziling's face was a little solemn, and he said, "I'm here to see what is so strange about this Taoist temple, why does Su Xiaoxiao have to come here to walk around?"

Kong Mingzi said strangely: "It's not that you haven't been to our Taoist temple, you have been here several times, we are ordinary here, where is there anything peculiar? Su Xiaoxiao just came to visit by chance, I have heard the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple say, she just walked around in a hurry and left, nothing special." ”

Shi Ziling shook his head and said, "No, I always feel that there is something wrong with it, I want to walk around this backyard and take a good look at what's so strange." ”

Kong Mingzi didn't know what he wanted to do, but he had nothing to do anyway, so he accompanied Shi Ziling around the backyard.

After a few laps, Shiziling really found nothing, and no abnormalities were found at all. Shi Ziling was a little deflated, stopped and asked Kong Mingzi, "Do you know what is special about your Taoist temple?"

Kong Mingzi said strangely: "You are also really strange, you keep saying that our Taoist temple is special, but you still have to ask me where I am special." My old Taoist priest has been here for decades, and I have never heard of anything special here, except for me, who is more special, everything else is ordinary and can no longer be ordinary. ”

Shi Ziling was very disappointed, so he had to go outside, walked to the door of the backyard, thought about it and turned back, and said: "I want to take a look at that ancient well again, and listen to my subordinates say that Su Xiaoxiao didn't stay anywhere else yesterday except for a little stay next to this ancient well." ”

Kong Mingzi smiled: "You have seen this ancient well several times just now, and you can't see anything famous anymore." This is a dry well, when I first went back and forth to Longguan a few decades ago, it was already a dry well, and the dust on the big stone slab covered by the wellhead was so thick, I don't know how many years no one has touched it, no matter how you look at it, you can't see the water in the well. ”

Shi Ziling ignored Kong Mingzi's teasing, came to the edge of this ancient well again, and walked around the ancient well again, and really didn't see any fame.

The well looked ordinary and unremarkable, and the mouth of the well was covered with a large heavy stone slab with a thick layer of dust, and it was evident that no one had touched it for a long time.

Shi Ziling asked, "Since this well is a dry well, what should you Taoist priests do to get water?"

Kong Mingzi said: "Isn't there a well next to the main entrance of our Taoist temple, the well water there is very sweet, and my old Taoist priest likes to take the well water from that well to make tea." ”

Shi Ziling nodded, bent down and tried to weigh the weight of the big stone slab at the mouth of the well with his hand, and said, "Can I open this stone slab and take a look?"

Although Kong Mingzi was surprised by Shi Ziling's actions, he also knew that there must be a reason for Shi Ziling's actions, so he said: "If you want to see it, you can see it, there is a dry well under this stone slab, and everyone in our Taoist temple has actually seen it." ”

Although the stone slab at the mouth of the well is heavy, it is just a piece of cake for Shi Ziling, and Shi Ziling has moved the bluestone slab to the side with a light lift.

He looked into the well, only to see that it was not very dark inside, and if he looked closely, he could vaguely see some dead grass and mud at the bottom of the well. Although it is a dry well that has been abandoned for a long time, there is not much stale air coming out of it after the stone slab is removed, but there is nothing unusual about it.

Shi Ziling gently re-covered the bluestone slab and stood by the ancient well in contemplation.

Although he didn't see anything famous, Shi Ziling still felt that this ancient well was a little unusual, and when he looked at the well, the magic power in his body seemed to fluctuate slightly.

This fluctuation is not obvious, if it was half a year ago, Shi Ziling may not be able to feel it, but now Shi Ziling's self-created "Yuan Demon Divine Technique" has already had considerable attainments, and the soul dementor ** has also been cultivated to the highest level of the ninth layer, after many battles with many strong enemies, his true yuan power, spiritual power and magic power are integrated and interdependent, making him very sensitive to the slightest energy fluctuations around him.

Shi Ziling clearly felt that there was a slight fluctuation in his mana when he looked into the ancient well, but when he put the bluestone slab back into the well, this slight fluctuation seemed to stop again.

Thinking that Su Xiaoxiao had stopped by this dry well yesterday, Shi Ziling had an intuitive conjecture that Su Xiaoxiao might have come to see this ancient well yesterday.

This feeling seems to be just a gut guess, but Shi Ziling feels that it is very likely. Shi Ziling never dared to despise his own mysterious spiritual sense, although he couldn't see anything special about this ancient well, he still intuitively linked it with Su Xiaoxiao and even his own magic fluctuations.

Kong Mingzi on the side was a little inexplicable, he had the impression that Shi Ziling had never been so mysterious, Kong Mingzi asked: "What is Gongzi looking for, can the old Taoist priest help a little?"

Shi Ziling thought for a moment and asked, "Dao Chief, how long have you been in Longguan this time?"

Kong Mingzi smiled and said: "That's a few years, let alone fifty years, but I often go out to travel, in fact, I am ordered to carry out the tasks sent by the sect, and at that time, the sect leader of my sect was not the master." ”

Shi Ziling said: "So is there any special story or legend about this ancient well?"

Kong Mingzi frowned and said: "Didn't the poor Dao say it, this dry well has existed for a long time, maybe one or two hundred years ago, and there is nothing special, sometimes there are new people in our Taoist temple, and if you are curious, you will open the stone slab to take a look, but after a long time, no one cares." ”

"What's the matter? Do you care so much about this well? Hehe, then I want a share......

Shi Ziling shook his head and said, "I don't know if there is a treasure or not, and I don't care, but I always feel that this ancient well is a bit mysterious. It's just a feeling, you also know that I practice soul dementoring**, people in our faction have some spiritual sense, and I can't say where there is a problem with this ancient well, but I just feel that it is a little unusual. ”

Kong Mingzi said with some disapproval: "Brother, you are probably practicing too much, and you have so many feelings about a dry well that has been abandoned for I don't know how many years, I really can't stand you, haven't you already done the orthodox seal capital, why are you so free?"

"Didn't the government already announce that the killer of the 'Dark Way' was the murderer of Chen Gongzhao, you, the newly appointed Zhengyin, didn't even go to arrest the murderer, and came here to study what dry wells were babbling, how can you make the people feel at ease......"

Shi Ziling smiled and said: "I know that you, the old Taoist, want to make fun of me, although I have been promoted, but those two masters have a lot of connections with me, and it is really impossible for me to arrest them and make friends." Otherwise, I'll arrest you and count it up, anyway, your old way has already washed your hands, so I will let you retire in prison with peace of mind. ”

Kong Mingzi was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "You...... You guy can even say such a thing? Old Taoist, I still want to be free for a few more years, let me go to prison, you might as well kill me. ”

Shi Ziling smiled: "Who asked you to make fun of me for arresting the murderer?"

"Don't worry, I don't take promotion and fortune seriously, and if I can't catch the murderer, I will only be criticized for being incompetent, and I have never cared about false fame. Okay, I've already seen everything I want to check today, and it's fate to see you again, an old Taoist, why don't we go and have a few drinks, do you want to drink wine?"

Kong Mingzi said happily: "Drink and drink!" The old Taoist priest has no taboos except that he is not close to women, and you should have a good treat when you are promoted. ”

Although Shi Ziling didn't figure out why Su Xiaoxiao came to see this ancient well, he still felt that there must be some kind of connection between this ancient well and Su Xiaoxiao, he understood that this matter was not in a hurry, and over time, maybe new clues would appear.

Shi Ziling and Kong Mingzi, the old Taoist priest, are also considered to be in love, and they are very happy to meet again after a long absence, and they go to buy wine and drink with Kong Mingzi at the moment......
