Two days later

The main peak is Zhengde Gate

The noon sun shines directly, the grass and trees on both sides are sparse, and the bluestone paved walkway is dotted with light.

Ji Lightyear and Starry Night have been waiting here for a long time, and it was almost noon when Mo Xingli walked briskly and leisurely.

As soon as Mo Xingli arrived, he threw a jade slip to Starry Night.

The mission of the sect that the three of them had to complete this time took place in a place called Tea City on the far side of the country of Xunjiang.

It is reported that this small city was a poor and remote place ten years ago, but in recent years, due to the good relations between the imperial court and the border countries, a large number of foreign people have come to trade and settle here, and it has gradually become a prosperous market town.

Since more than a year ago, there have been ordinary people missing in the small city, and the case files in the yamen have been stacked and stacked, but no one has been able to solve this serial disappearance case.

And this mission is to find the source of the disaster and the missing person, and never suffer from it.

The country is far away, not within the scope of the great country of cultivating immortals, and most of the people in the country are ordinary people.

Ji Guangnian only remembered that they flew and stopped, got on no less than ten teleportation arrays, and flew for an unknown number of hours, and finally arrived near the destination point in the early morning ten days later.

At this time, it was raining and the roads were muddy, and the three of them sat in a bun shop in the suburbs to avoid the rain.

The proprietress of the bun shop is a woman less than twenty years old, named Bi Niang.

Bi Niang wore a veil, had a gentle and talkative temperament, and opened the conversation box after serving buns and tea for the three of them.

I heard her say that it was only because of the plague in her hometown in the early years, her family was far away from home, and then they wanted to find a new place to settle down, so the family moved south to this tea city. My father and mother passed away due to illness a few years ago.

When I didn't move my family, I had an older brother who left home to take the exam, but he was gone for many years, and there was no news, and I didn't know whether he was dead or alive. The city was full of people, and she was afraid of scaring others because of her ugly appearance, so she left the market town and ran this bun shop here alone.

When talking about her appearance, she stroked her veil, and her eyes inadvertently showed a trace of pain, but it was only for a moment that she immediately covered it up.

The soaked Biluo spring fragrance hit people, and the bag in his hand was in the mouth, and Ji Guangnian was satisfied.

It's been a long time since she's eaten food that smells of fireworks in the world.

The starry night on the side was exaggerated, Ji Guangnian had only eaten half of it, and he had already eaten twice.

"The most famous thing in the tea city is tea, and more than half of the tribute tea in the country of Xunjiang comes from here. If you want to buy tea, remember to find Bi Niang and me.

If you have clothes and silk cloth, you have to go to the cloth alley in the third lane in the east of the city; There is a family dress in the alley, the price is the most fair, and there are many styles; The most famous restaurant in the city is the tea house in the center of the city, even if you go to the restaurant to order a pot of tea, sit for a while and listen to the storyteller, there is also a special taste. ”

The rain outside the eaves has been falling, drinking the fragrant Biluochun, listening to the hospitable boss talking about things, Ji Guangnian is very comfortable.

"Do you think I'm annoying?"

"No!" Ji Guangnian smiled politely.

Starry Night shook his head, and finally met someone who talked more than him.

The strange star next to him did not respond coldly.

"I'm really sorry, I'm not far from the city, and it's rare that someone will give up the bustling restaurant to come to my shop for tea. Even if ordinary people come to buy steamed buns, they just buy them and leave, and few people sit here.

So, whenever the shop comes to visit, I can't control my mouth. You are the third group of guests to sit here in the past six months.

I'm so bored that I have to remember every day who came to my shop to buy steamed buns, and I can't say that I can list who came last year. Bi Niang explained.

"Bi Niang, you remember it so clearly. I used to exaggerate what I ate yesterday and probably forgot it today. Throwing the keys after work and looking for them often before going to work. ”

"What does it mean to go to work? What is off-duty? The starry night on the side finally seized an opportunity to speak and asked.

Oops, she forgot that this world is not said to go to work and get off work, and accidentally couldn't stop the car and moved the modern words out.

But Starry Night asked, and the two people next to her also stared at her like curious babies, so she had to go over.

"What does it mean to go to work and what does it mean to leave work? You guess. She could only quickly search for words in her head, and the words that replaced them had to be linked to the key and had no sequelae.

"You'd better just tell us the answer!" Starry Night didn't think about it, and Bi Niang also nodded.

"I can't guess, I'll tell you directly, going to work means going out, and getting off work means going home, how about it? I can't think of it, I created it myself. ”

Starry Night and Bi Niang are both suddenly enlightened.

Mo Xingli didn't say anything with a slight squint in his eyes.

"However, the Ji family of the String Moon Palace is a family of cultivators, do you need to go out and bring the key?" The voice of the starry night came again.

I'm really afraid of something!

"You have so many questions, do you have to be the key to the main door?" She glared at him, "Don't interrupt! Bi Niang continued, who is the second batch of people? ”

"The second group was an elderly couple in their forties who came two months ago, and the husband was really affectionate with his wife's hand.

The sun was really shining that day, and the wife felt thirsty and told her husband, who couldn't bear to let her go to the city with thirst. So I rested here for a while.

The first batch, I still remember a little girl dressed as a man about four months ago, with two retinues with her. That style looks like it's either rich or expensive.

Thinking that if she wears a man's clothes and wears a fake beard, she won't know that she is a daughter? However, she actually came all the way from Sujing to a girl's family, and I admired her.

Didn't I say before that our family was in a foreign country when my parents had the plague? Actually, it was to find my brother. In order to find my brother, my father and mother and I went to Sujing.

It's a pity that I have been looking for him for a year, but I haven't heard from him at all. At the feet of the emperor in Sujing, the price is high, and it is easy to offend people, and my father and mother really can't stay there.

Since we couldn't find my brother, we thought about returning the same way, and then there was a plague in our previous village, and we came to Tea City with our father and mother. ”
