The flea market in Huangsong City, no matter how many times you come, gives Ling Xiao a messy feeling.

The stalls are like dogs' teeth, and the people are like small droplets in the turbulent tide, meandering with a surging momentum.

The brutal expansion of the city has also brought more management problems, and flea markets are clearly not a high priority in this regard.

However, such a flea market has more opportunities to pick up leaks.

Ling Xiao patiently stopped in front of each stall, listening intently to the conversation of the spirit grass, searching for things to buy.

Lingcao doesn't hide anything in his heart.

Laughing and scolding, all are information.

After shopping, Ling Xiao already had 2 second-order spirit grasses and 1 piece of warm yang iron in his hand, which only cost 30 spirit stones.

He was still unsatisfied and went to the gate of the Songshan Sword Sect.

Although there is a distance between the mountain gate and the flea market, you can see the pine leaf flag fluttering high from afar, and the four big characters of "Songshan Sword School" are written on it, and the pen is like a sword edge, exuding a mighty momentum.

The closer you get to the mountain gate, the more lively the street becomes.

The magnificent and luxurious large-scale shops are all built next to the mountain gate, and the green buildings and restaurants are also lined up one after another, making concerted efforts to attract nearly 7% of the passenger flow of Huangsong City, which is like a commercial center.

So, better.

The more people, the better.

Finding the restaurant closest to the mountain gate, Ling Xiao went straight in and found a place by the window on the third floor to sit down.

"Yetai, this location can be clean! What do you order? Xiao Er, who came along, asked with a smile on his face.

Actually, it's not a good location.

Although it is by the window, there is an unexpected green pine potted plant at the table, which has not been pruned for a few days, and it grows luxuriantly, not only blocking most of the scenery outside the window, but also the branches are still crooked, probing up the door of people's heads.

So even if the restaurant is full, there are hardly any people here.

After all, everyone came to eat, drink and relax, but you made the top of your head green, who can withstand it?

However, this green pine potted plant was seen by a feng shui master, and he couldn't move the position, and gradually, the shopkeeper simply didn't care.

"Let's have a pot of wine and a small dish."

Ling Xiao casually dropped a few spirit stones, and looked out the window, indifferent.

The little second didn't dare to bother, so he collected the money and retreated.

Outside the window, in the surging crowd, the monks were busy.

Ling Xiao sometimes wondered, it was very rare for people to have spiritual roots, why were there so many monks in this world?

"Guest officer, please use it slowly!"

Xiao Er hurriedly came back and served wine and food.

Now, no one bothered me anymore.

Ling Xiao stared dozens of meters away, but saw a magnificent gatehouse standing in the mountains, outside the gatehouse fragrant grass, green forests shaded, winding paths lead to secluded places, it is the Songshan Sword School.

From time to time, you can see some Matsuyama disciples, walking around it.

Ling Xiao retracted his gaze and muttered in a voice that was almost only audible to him: "Xu Santong, Xu Protector ......"

Sure enough, the potted plant in front of him immediately reacted, and asked in surprise: [Do you know Xu Santong? Could it be that you are his friend? 】

Ling Xiao smiled in his heart.

Do you also know Xu Santong?

That's a lot easier.

He originally planned to take out the portrait of Xu Santong to guide it.

"Xu Santong, you wolf-hearted thing, you have abandoned my friend all the time, patted her ass and left when she made her belly bigger, and also transmitted the willow disease to others, I must find you, take you back and give her an explanation......"

Ling Xiao almost crushed the wine glass and said through gritted teeth.

[What?! 】

"How can there be such evil things? 】

Qing Song was shocked when he heard this.

Even if it is ushered in and well-informed in the restaurant every day, it has never heard of such shameless acts!

It was immediately filled with righteous indignation, [This Xu Santong is inevitably not a human being! In the past, when I saw him hugging back and forth, I thought he was some kind of virtuous and respectable person, but who knew that he was actually a well-dressed beast! 】

Yes, yes!

He's a well-dressed beast!

Ling Xiao was overjoyed, but on the surface, he pretended to be lamented, and muttered: "It's a pity that I'm alone and can't grasp Xu Santong's whereabouts, if only someone could help me......"

Speaking of this, he silently drank all the wine in the cup, looking disheartened and lazy.

Damn, this wine is so bad!

He cursed in his heart.

[I really want to help you, that Xu Santong often walks downstairs, but it's a pity that you can't hear me......] Qingsong also sighed.

Next, the two sides had nothing to say, Ling Xiao stopped drinking, and sat until the night was getting darker, and then left.

As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, the sadness in his eyes immediately disappeared.

"Isn't it too despicable to deceive a simple plant?"

Ling Xiao thought so.

Today, he just wants to plant a seed.

Hopefully, Qingsong is willing to pay attention to Xu Santong's movements for him.

Ling Xiao left Huang Songcheng without hesitation and returned home.

Don't forget that tonight is the day of the reunion of the elite team, and the last two treasure maps in his hands are waiting for today!

……

For the next period of time, Ling Xiao lived an extremely regular life, going to Chenjia Mountain during the day to farm, make talismans, and preach, and go to Huangsong City in the evening to collect information, and at night he either stayed at home to practice, dispense medicine, or go out to hunt demons, and occasionally went on a date with Hu Tao'er.

After half a month, he has gained a lot!

The first is cultivation, which completely consolidates the eightfold realm of qi refining, and begins to steadily sprint towards the ninefold realm of qi refining with the assistance of elixir and cooking;

Secondly, in terms of talisman making, the success rate of his Qingxin talisman has stabilized at about 30%, and the next step is to improve the success rate of the thunder talisman. In addition, under the continuous answering of doubts, Ling Xiao's basic knowledge of talismans has accumulated more and more solid;

Moreover, together with the elite team, he launched two demon hunting operations, exploring the lair of demon beasts on the treasure map, and the process was considered to be thrilling, and each team member made a lot of money;

In the end, there is intelligence, the green pine bonsai is a warm-hearted person, knowing that Ling Xiao can't understand its words, he still enthusiastically collected the information, and relayed it when Ling Xiao was drinking. After half a month of observation, Ling Xiao finally knew the law of Xu Santong's daily actions.

Xu Santong's daily travel, often followed by a large number of Songshan disciples, full of style, extremely conspicuous in the city. As for the places to go, Ling Xiao also followed them from afar, mostly to Laojiabao in the west of the city.

Needless to say, this Laojiabao must be where the Xiuxian family founded by Lao Yu is located, and the location is also extremely particular, right next to the spiritual vein of Huangsong Mountain.

It can be seen that after Lao Yu lost the battle of Qingfeng Guan, he was still valued by Gongsun Lie, otherwise he would not be willing to share the spiritual vein with him.

However, what Xu Santong came to Laojiabao to do, Ling Xiao didn't know anything, and only learned from the new tree at the door that Xu Santong entered Laojiabao once every three days.

So Ling Xiao specially found the opportunity to come to Laojiabao that night and found a tavern facing the street.

Sitting by the window, ordering a side dish, Ling Xiao stared at the night like ink, and his eyes under the rabbit mask were indifferent and focused.

The gate of Laojiabao is more than 30 meters away from the window where Ling Xiao is located, and there is an old pine tree in front of the window, which can be called an excellent observation position.

He planned to stay until dawn to see what happened to Xu Santong.

If you gather intelligence, you can't let go of any information!

This time, Ling Xiao learned to be obedient and brought his own drinks.

No way, Huang Songcheng's wine is too unpalatable!

If he didn't have to order, Ling Xiao would definitely have saved money on food!

Luckily, the food at this tavern is good and affordable.

Ling Xiao took a bite of food, a sip of wine, and ate happily, full of wine Mengzi form, no one would guess that he was actually here to find out information.

But it didn't take long for Ling Xiao's happy days to end, and a crisp voice came from his ears.

"Yo, three-second rabbit?"
