Chapter 378: The Mysterious "Jack of Trades"
Shen Lang walked out of the Treasure Pavilion a little abnormally, changing his previous style.
It's really because he doesn't want to get too involved with the Treasure Pavilion.
Many of the memories of the War Emperor have been sealed, and as long as they are sealed, they are basically amazing things.
And among these seals, there is precisely something about the Treasure Pavilion.
Even those memories that have not been sealed, the entanglement between the War Emperor and the Treasure Pavilion is very strange.
This seems to involve something between men and women.
So Shen Lang really didn't want to touch those things.
The matter of Xue Shiyin and the Emperor of War has already given him a headache, and his feelings have even changed drastically, and the director has been swayed by the things in the Immortal Heavenly Sword.
If there was really a woman in the Treasure Pavilion who had that kind of relationship with the Emperor of War, Shen Lang could only say how far away he was from hiding.
......
After sighing, Shen Lang swept his gaze to the corner of the street.
Around the corner, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was squinting at the people coming and going in the street.
Shen Lang beckoned to the young man.
"Hey, big brother, is there anything you need my little brother to help with?" the young man's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over quickly.
Shen Lang casually threw a bag of gold coins to him and said, "Find the most well-informed person in Tianque City, go to the restaurant opposite to find me, and I will give you another bag of gold coins after I find it." ”
The young man shook the bag in his hand, listened to the rattling sound, felt the weight of the bag, and immediately smiled.
"Understood, eldest brother, don't worry, I'll call you that know-it-all, there's nothing he doesn't know within a thousand miles!"
Watching the young man leave, Shen Lang walked to the wall below the restaurant opposite, stretched out his finger and drew on the wall.
Stone chips were scattered, and a strange pattern was revealed on the wall.
The pattern is like a flower, but the petals are like a sharp sword, which makes people feel sharp and strange at first glance.
What's even more strange is that the buds in this flower seem to be a little surprisingly large, with a total of five buds, spread out in a semicircle.
There is also an attic-like thing drawn in the middle of the flower bud.
After finishing the painting, Shen Lang turned around and tried his best for a moment, and then walked towards the south gate of Tianque City.
After a while, he left the south gate and walked into the dense forest outside the city.
As soon as he walked into the secret order, Shen Lang turned around, and in the shadow of the big tree behind him, there was a man in black standing impressively!
The man in black stood there silently, as if he had been there a long time ago, and had not moved.
The entire body was hidden in the darkness, and there was not a trace of aura around the body.
"This adult is very angry, I don't know which one it is, the pattern you drew is the one used by the Shadow House to contact its own people, not the contact map for the next mission. However, I know that adults can never be from the Shadow Building. ”
The man in black had a hoarse voice, as if he was deliberately trying to hide his voice.
Shen Lang flipped his wrist, took out a piece of parchment, and threw it away.
"This is the contract I signed with your Shadow House Lady Nangong Jianqiu, she still owes me three Shadow Demon Flowers, now, it's time to fulfill her promise. ”
Once a contract is signed, it is impossible to break the parchment unless the dominant party wants to.
So he didn't worry about what the other party would do.
When the man in black heard Nangong Jianqiu's words, his body shook, and he immediately unfolded the parchment in his hand.
Then, he walked out of the shadows and stood in front of Shen Lang.
This is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, except for this black dress, there is almost nothing to attract attention.
The middle-aged man in black respectfully saluted Shen Lang and said, "It turned out to be Shen Lang's son, the villain Qucheng, who has been waiting for his son in Tianque City for a while. ”
"Oh, is it because someone sued you that I came in the direction of Tianque City?" asked Shen Lang lightly.
Qu Cheng nodded and said: "That's right, some time ago, there was news from above, saying that Childe, you have passed through the Izumo Mountain Range and are coming in the direction of Tianque City, and it is likely that you will stay in Tianque City for a while, so our people have been paying attention to your whereabouts for a while." ”
"Hmm. Shen Lang took back the parchment and said, "When will the Shadow Demon Flower be delivered?"
"It should be delivered in four days. The middle-aged man in black said respectfully.
"So fast?" Shen Lang couldn't help but be taken aback.
Qu Cheng's stiff face twitched, and he said with a hint of an ugly smile: "Because it is very coincidental, the eldest lady just happened to be doing a task in Wushuang City, two thousand miles away, and the thing is on her body, and from there is a small portal, it will not take a day, but she needs to complete the task before she can come, so I estimate that it will take four days." ”
"I see, then I'm in trouble with you. ”
"Childe is polite. ”
Shen Lang didn't stay any longer, and went directly back to Tianque City, and went to the restaurant diagonally opposite the Treasure Pavilion.
At this time, the young man who had received a bag of gold coins from Shen Lang before above the restaurant was standing behind an old man, probing his brain.
Seeing Shen Lang coming, the young man immediately showed joy and gently pulled the robe of the old man in front of him.
"Little Er, prepare a private room for me. Shen Lang stepped forward slowly, and did not greet the old man.
He followed Xiao Er into the private room, and the old and young naturally followed.
It wasn't until he sat down that Shen Lang saw the old man's appearance clearly.
This old man's hair is like snow, his complexion is as delicate as jade, and there is no wrinkle, but his robe is dirty, and his eyes are bonely, how to look at it makes people feel obscene.
Shen Lang took out another bag of gold coins and threw it to the young man.
The young man grinned and thanked him again and again: "Big brother, you can find me for anything in Tianque City in the future, my name is Yang Mu, everyone calls me Xiao Muzi, I am very powerful in Tianque City!"
When Xiao Muzi walked out of the house, Shen Lang arched his hand towards the old man and said, "I don't know what the old man is called? ”
The old man's face was straight, he stroked his beard and said: "The old man is ancient, the head of the 981th generation of Xuanyi Sect, and others gave me the nickname 'Know-it-all'." ”
"Xuanyi Gate ......" A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Lang's mouth.
A sect that I've never heard of.
Gu Feng said proudly: "The old man knows astronomy and geography, and knows trivial things; Immortals are not immortals, all things in heaven and earth enter my eyes, and the Tao is not the way, and it is clear in the chest from the past to the present...... This, the old man is addicted to alcohol, and I don't know ......"
Shen Lang couldn't help but be stunned, he just wanted to find a well-informed person to ask about the Phantom Mist City, how could this old man go to the sky?
also "through the future, know the past", this Haikou boast is really big enough.
The most mysterious race in the wilderness, the Wu Clan, has this ability, but it is said that divination requires the consumption of life force as a price, and it is easy to "understand the future and know the past", even if it is a supreme powerhouse, it is difficult to do.
Shen Lang beckoned to Xiao Er at the door and called in: "First give this old man two good daughters to Hong, and then serve a few of the best dishes in your store." ”
"Okay, Childe, please wait. The little second nodded, turned around and muttered in a low voice: "The old head has not deceived this kind of meal for a long time, I didn't expect that there is really no shortage of wronged heads in this world." ”
His voice was very small and indistinct.
But what kind of person is Shen Lang, with his current ear power, even if this little two walks out of the ten feet and then says this sentence, he can still hear it clearly.
At this time, the ancient wind was sitting in danger, and the more he published the fairy wind bone.
It's just that as soon as the wine was delivered, the old man immediately changed his appearance, and couldn't wait to open the jar and drink it.
It's like I haven't drunk in ten or eight years.
"I don't know if the old man knows about the affairs of Phantom Mist City? I want to inquire about the major events in Phantom Mist City in the past two months. Shen Lang asked straightforwardly.
Gu Feng took another big sip of wine before smacking his mouth and said: "Little brother, you are asking the right person, except for me, there is absolutely no second person in Tianque City who knows all kinds of things that happened in Illusory Mist City, it's not that the old man bragged, and he wanted to be the old man......"
"If my husband knows, please tell me, and I will thank you later. Shen Lang said, stretching out his hand and placing the four lower grade spirit stones on the table.
This is a spirit stone, not a gold coin, which is much more valuable than a gold coin.
The ancient style immediately showed a greedy look, covered the spirit stone with his sleeve robe, and then put on a serious look and said, "Little brother is too polite...... Oh, a lot has happened in Phantom City in the past two months. ”
"Some time ago, under the secret encouragement of a disciple of Baihong Sect, the lone wolf mercenary group, Langya Mountain and the people of Lianyun Village hit Qingfeng Village, but a young man came out of nowhere and beat them to the ground. ”
Later, the leaders of these three forces did not listen to the warning of the city lord of Phantom Mist City, and invited the killers of the Shadow Building to deal with the young man, but they did not expect the people of the Shadow Building to succeed and retreat the mission. ”
"It's just a matter of retreating, but I didn't expect that the leaders of the three forces including the lone wolf mercenary group were cut off overnight, and it seems that they all died of something called 'Heavenly Silk'. ”
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows: "Heavenly silk?"
Gu Feng nodded and said: "Yes, it is said that it is the Heavenly Silk that is only available in the Western Wilderness Jedi, it is extremely sharp, cutting everything, and those three leaders were killed by this kind of thing." ”
After that, An Fengrui, the city lord of Phantom Mist City, was furious, and led several other major forces to wipe out the three forces including the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group, and these three forces completely collapsed and became the history of Phantom Mist City. ”
"I see. Shen Lang nodded and said, "What about the rest of the matter, does the old man also know?"
"What happened after that......" Gu Feng looked very embarrassed.
Shen Lang pinched his fingers and immediately placed a ban in the private room, isolating it from the outside world.
At the same time, he took out four lower grade spirit stones and put them in front of Gu Feng.
Gu Feng suddenly smiled: "Little brother is really a smart person, the old man likes smart people like you." ”
Shen Lang didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
Gu Feng coughed dryly and continued: "Originally, this matter should have ended, who knew that Gao Jingtian, the leader of the lone wolf mercenary group, would still have a backhand. He has a relative in the Holy Light Sect, so as soon as he dies, the strong people of the Holy Light Sect will start to attract your attention. ”
Shen Lang's eyes flashed: "My husband knows me?"
