In the north of Yuzhou, Baiping Town.

It was only three o'clock in the morning, and the lobby of the largest peace inn in town was crowded with people. In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of businessmen and tourists from Jizhou to the south, making several small towns on the border of the two states prosperous. Midwinter is approaching, the merchants of Jiyong and Yongzhou are rushing to the south like migratory birds, but those Jianghu guests are rare to see in previous years, these people drink wine and eat meat in the lobby early in the morning, and talk loudly about the two major events in the rivers and lakes in recent days.

The first thing was a fierce battle under the heavenly volcano outside Jizhou in the north half a month ago. There has been a lot of rumors about the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire of the Heavenly Fire Sect on the rivers and lakes, and those who don't have the courage to join in the fun, or they have long known in their hearts that it can't be provoked, and they are all waiting to see the end of those Jianghu guests who have gathered and left. Sure enough, not only did the Xidi people kill them halfway, but the White Tiger Army in Jizhou also took advantage of the situation, and the whole scene turned into a tragic and chaotic battle, but in the end, it was General Hongye and a hundred iron horsemen under his command who came out of nowhere, killing all the Sidi people and scaring away the White Tiger Army, and the Vermilion Bird Spiritual Fire naturally fell into the hands of the general. The people of the Yuelai Commercial Bank, the Wuyue Alliance, the Scattered Shadow Society and several other leading gang forces are basically all dead, and the leading Huangshan Sword Immortal Shidao people are also unknown, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, even if they are alive, they probably won't have the face to come out to see people from now on.

Of course, General Hongye can't be regarded as a person in the rivers and lakes, but that one rides a thousand, invincible majesty and martial arts, but anyone who practices martial arts can't help but be intoxicated. Most of these Jianghu guests are nested in the area of Baishi City waiting to see the excitement and pick up cheap ones, basically from the news of the retreating White Tiger Army, one spread ten to hundred, and then it was a little out of shape, what tens of thousands of Xidi army thousands of Xidi demon insects were overwhelming, but under the general's halberd, the Jizhou Prefecture Mu led by the White Tiger Army was just a Confucian student, and he was suddenly so frightened that he spat at the mouth and fell off the horse. Now most of these drinkers and diners are talking about it. I only heard that some merchants who had just learned about this matter were dumbfounded, and some of those who boasted of their foresight were talking about how the imperial court would treat the generals, and what the general trend of the world would be from now on.

In comparison, the movement of that other thing is much smaller. But two months ago, the young gang leader of the Luoshui Gang in Qingzhou was skinned and abused to death, and the good hand in the gang also died in the hands of the murderer. Wanted for the murderer who killed the little helper and the gang spies who colluded with him.

The Luoshui Gang is one of the best gangs in Qingzhou, although it is an authentic reckless gang, and those big families are incomparable, but the money and wealth accumulated in more than ten or twenty years are not trivial, and one or two hundred thousand taels of gold are indispensable. This wanted warrant cannot be said to shake the rivers and lakes. But it also made many people's eyes warm and heartbeat, and they wanted to get into it. And the murderer also killed a lot of people in Luoshui City, making people panic, if the murderer can really be caught, such a major event that shakes a state may be able to board the demon extermination order, it is a good time to become famous in the world. Therefore, although this matter is far less eye-catching than the general's earth-shattering action under the heavenly volcano, it has really fallen into people's hearts.

For example, Huang Lao Wu is one. He was now at a table with a pig's blood soup. While eating scallion oil flatbread, watching the fat man at the table in front of him dancing and foaming at the mouth to compare the general's amazing martial arts, his ears listened to the speculation of the table next to him about the various changes under the heavenly volcano that day, but his heart was still thinking about the news from the Luoshui Gang. It's just a matter of listening to the peerless bravery of others, and the silver that can fall into your own pocket is really meaningful.

Of course, Huang Lao Wu didn't have the idea of eating the bounty in one bite. As an old fritter who has been a horse thief since he was fifteen years old and has not died until he is forty years old, he knows very well how much he should eat and how much he can eat on the rivers and lakes with his catties. Since the murderer was able to kill all the good people invited by the Luoshui Gang. Even the Dharma Protector Vajra of the Pure Land Monastery has lost one, and it is definitely not something he can deal with alone. However, he is also very confident, with his code trace thaumaturgy that he has practiced since childhood, he can definitely be ranked among the five best trackers in Jizhou, as long as he shows up and sees the murderer's footprints, it is only a matter of time before he catches up.

It's a pity that two months have passed. Qingzhou is thousands of miles away, and the footprints are invisible no matter what. Now he can only wait for news to see if anyone else will find out the traces of this murderer first, and then he will take the opportunity to track it down. Even if you don't dare to do it yourself, as long as you sell the information about the murderer's whereabouts, it will be a windfall.

If you can go to the Qingzhou Luoshui Gang to inquire in person, you must be able to come up with some more refined clues. The general collection that circulated everywhere can only be seen to be a pair of young men and women, the woman is quite beautiful, and she has cultivated powerful evil spells, and the man is said to be just a wandering third-rate wild Taoist priest, surnamed Xia, and there is no useful news other than that, not even the name of the woman. I don't know how these two people can turn the huge Luoshui Gang upside down, and they have to bankrupt their families to hang out the reward, is it a pair of adulterers and adulteresses who hook up and become adulterers

was thinking wildly, a pair of singing fathers and daughters who seemed to be wandering in the rivers and lakes in front of the left got up from the table and left after eating and drinking, Huang Lao Wu didn't care, he glanced at it casually and continued to eat and drink, but he suddenly vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart, and when he looked up again, he immediately became strange.

The father and daughter were just a gray old man with a wrinkled face and about sixty years old man carrying a huqin, a girl dressed in tacky clothes and with inferior rouge on her face, and no one paid attention to them on the street, Huang Lao Wu really couldn't see anything strange about them, but he could see that it was strange from the footprints on the ground. The girl's is okay, but the old man's footprints are not what the old man should have, they are clearly the footprints of a young man.

At the age of twelve, Huang Lao Wu was able to follow the hoof prints on the ground and find the one he had lost from among the hundreds of sheep in his neighbor's house. Since becoming a horse thief, he has practiced this trick even more diligently, and he only needs to look at the footprints to know whether the person who stepped on the footprints is a man or a woman, not to mention the height of his martial arts, whether there are injuries on his body, how many goods he carries, etc., which is even clearer than looking at this person directly. With this hand, although his martial arts are mediocre, he is also mixed among horse thieves, and he doesn't know how many horse team darts he has killed with his eyes, but he has recently been exterminated by the official army. Only then did he and some escaped brothers wander to this Yuzhou.

The old man's appearance and posture Huang Lao Wu couldn't see any abnormalities, but when he looked at the footprints left here, he could immediately judge that this would definitely not be a real old man. Even if the body of some people with profound internal strength can be strong and not inferior to young people, but the unique elasticity of young people's muscles and feet cannot be maintained, Huang Lao Wu dares to bet with his own eyes, it is definitely an old man pretending to be an old man.

Judging from the pace, although this young man has some kung fu, he is not very clever. During the march, his hands were close to his waist intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was a perennial hidden weapon, but he did not carry a weapon on his body, according to reason, except for those monsters of the Tang family in Shuzhou, how could even the Jianghu people who were good at hidden weapons bring a blade with him, this posture is a bit like those wild Taoist priests who are accustomed to using talismans

Poof. The pig blood soup and flatbread in Huang Lao Wu's mouth sprayed on the table, and some choked into the trachea, and he immediately coughed vigorously. Some of the people around looked sideways, and even the young woman among the 'father and daughter' who had already walked to the door of the inn turned her head to look at him, and her eyes were unusually clear and clear under the cover of fat powder.

Huang Lao Wu's reaction was also extremely fast, and while forcibly suppressing the surprise in his heart that was about to explode, he pretended to be full of anger and shouted loudly: "Xiao Er, why does your pig blood soup smell of? Isn't it the one who cooks the stool and doesn't wash his hands to cook the soup?"

Xiao Er, who was busy over there, hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Guest officer, don't talk nonsense~! We have sold hundreds of bowls of pig blood soup here this morning." Where does it smell of? Even if the kitchen masters poop, they won't wipe it with their hands with straw paper, right? Even if it does get some on his hands, he knows how to clean it, so where is the reason to deliberately leave it on his hands to cook?"

"Fucking uncle is eating well, where did the thief and the bird say what shit and pee without concealment!?

"Haha, isn't that pimpy Mo out of money and looking for a reason to repay the debt? ”

"Lao Tzu looks at the short neck and smells the feces in his stomach, hahahaha"

glanced at the people in the rivers and lakes who were laughing and scolding around him, and felt that he didn't seem to show any flaws, and Huang Lao Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Enduring the nervousness in his heart, he took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and threw them to Xiao Er, wrinkled his face and said a few bad words, turned around and walked out of the inn. However, he didn't follow the 'father and daughter', didn't even look at it, but walked out in the opposite direction with his head buried.

After a while, Huang Lao Wu, who had changed his clothes again, walked back from the direction where he had gone, as if he was strolling around. It seemed to follow the footprints left by the pair of 'father and daughter' slowly.

Huang Lao Wu's eyes seemed to be looking left and right all the time, but his spirit was all focused on the footprints on the ground. Even though many people have already walked on that road, in his eyes, those clues that are difficult for ordinary people to detect are still as obvious as open flames in the night. This is under full attention. More details of the person who stepped on the footprints gradually emerged in his mind, the man's footsteps seemed to be loose, but in fact, he was on guard at all times, clearly a thief with a weak heart, the woman's footsteps were light and agile, and there seemed to be a strange rhythm between them, which was a sign that certain exercises had reached the realm of unity of mind and spirit.

That's right, that's right, F Lao Wu's heart beat wildly in his chest, and his expression could barely pretend to be indifferent, and there was already fine sweat on his forehead. He was almost certain that the father and daughter in disguise were the dog men and women he was thinking about in the Luoshui Gang. It's a pity that he is a weak person, even if he goes to greet those brothers who fled to Yuzhou together, he will never be able to deal with these two powerful people who can kill the first gang in Qingzhou and lose their armor and slow, if they can't do it, they can come to the dark, as long as they find out the route of these two people and the place where they landed, the smoke, anesthetics, and organs are all used, and they can still be taken if they have a mental calculation or not. Isn't the more than 100,000 taels of gold of the Luoshui Gang just got it by himself? It's just that I don't have this powerful smoke poison or anything, this Yuzhou newcomer, I don't know how to get it, I don't know how to get it, I heard that what kind of Shenjitang business in this Central Plains area is doing well, as long as you give money, some unique smoke poison Gu worms can be bought. But these things must be very expensive, and I don't know if I have enough money

While thinking about the next road in his heart, Huang Lao Wu followed the footprints of the man and woman out of the street and turned into a secluded alley. Although I was a little uneasy in my heart. But after thinking about it carefully, Huang Lao Wu is very confident in his previous appearance, and his self-confidence has never exposed the slightest flaw, and this may be the place where the pair of men and women have settled, so they must follow no matter what.

Walking into an inaccessible place, the traces of the two pairs of footprints on the ground were even more obvious, and Huang Lao Wu unconsciously accelerated his pace. The heart in my chest was beating faster. But as soon as he walked around a corner, he was stunned, and there was a wall in front of him, which was a dead end at all.

The footprints on the ground stretched all the way to the wall, and then disappeared. There was no stop, no sign of jumping over, it was as if it had gone straight into the wall.

Huang Lao Wu squatted down. After carefully examining the two pairs of footprints and making sure that he was not wrong, he looked up at the wall in front of him carefully to see if he could find something like a secret door from it. It's just that there really isn't anything unusual about this wall, it's exactly the same as on both sides, and even the cracks on it don't look bad at all

As soon as he felt something wrong, a hand suddenly reached out from the wall and pinched Huang Lao Wu's neck. Before Huang Lao Wu could figure out what was going on, he felt a strong force lifting. The sky spun around and fell to the ground suddenly, only to fall to the chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and limbs about to break, humming and chirping on the ground and unable to move.

"This old man, who has followed our father and daughter so far, why is it the matter?"

A somewhat strange old man's voice sounded, and Huang Lao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that it was the pair of 'father and daughter' he had been following standing in front of him. The old man who asked him looked a little wary and a little joking. The young woman standing next to her. Judging from the distance, it was the woman who grabbed him by the neck and threw him over. The wall that had blocked him was now invisible, and there was only a faint light on the ground on the place.

Huang Lao Wu's whole body was immediately soaked in cold sweat. In his heart, he scolded the Luoshui Gang for messing up the news that the guy who should be killed, he didn't know much about the doorway of the spell talisman, but this kind of illusion and eye barrier that he hadn't seen for a long time should not be used by a third-rate wild Taoist, and the two of them clearly knew that someone was following behind, but there was no panic in the footsteps along the way, and it was obvious that he was a veteran with deep experience in the rivers and lakes.

"Two, two masters, please spare your life. The villain is just.just." The thoughts in Huang Lao Wu's heart were spinning, not to mention that these two people were killing gods who tortured and killed dozens of first-class masters in Qingzhou, but just now the woman grabbed him and threw him over, and he knew that he was just looking for death in vain. Now I just hope that these two people don't know that they have realized their disguise. But for a moment the lard was blinded, and seeing that you seemed to have come from another place, I wanted to come up and rob some silver taels."

"Oh, do we father and daughter look like they're rich?" The old man squinted his eyes, looked carefully at Huang Lao Wu's hands and legs, and said lightly. "When did the friends who ate in Jizhou fall to the point where they want to rob a father and daughter who sell songs like those ruffians?"

Huang Lao Wu's vest was cold, and he hurriedly defended: "The old man's eyes are correct, the villain was indeed a horse thief in Jizhou before, but not long ago Jizhou was in turmoil, and three of the four masters were killed, and they lost the cover of the official face, and were exterminated by the official army. The villain didn't dare to look for fat sheep when he first arrived, so he could only "

At this time, the woman standing next to her suddenly spoke, and her cold voice directly said Huang Lao Wu's whole body coldly: "Daoist Xia, don't waste any more time and deceive people." Didn't I tell you that this man recognized us when we were eating at the inn? And this is a bad guy who has killed a lot of people. ”

"I'm just curious how this brother recognized us. The old man smiled, and his hoarse voice was completely gone, and it became the voice of a young man who was completely different from his appearance. He squatted down and looked at Huang Lao Wu on the ground: "I originally wanted to talk slowly, but now I can only ask this brother to say it himself." ”

Huang Lao Wu's expression was already a dead silence, but then the silent expression began to distort again, and he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Someone! Help! The two bandits who were rewarded by the Qingzhou Luoshui Gang are here~!"

This cry was so loud that even Huang Lao Wu's own ears hurt, but the two people next to him were not surprised at all, as if they expected him to do this. The young Taoist priest who pretended to be an old man still looked at him with a smile. There was not the slightest reaction around, and there was not even a sound of echo in this narrow alley. This hoarse howl was like a loud roar in a coveret, and no one could hear it except himself.

The expression on Huang Lao Wu's face, as well as the essence and qi of the whole person, all leaked like a deflated ball. This wild Taoist priest has arranged a blindfold method to ambush and track the people here, and naturally there is also a spell formation that silences and removes sound. He was stunned for a moment before he muttered weakly: "My friend's Tao is high." The surname Huang confessed. For the sake of eating mixed rice on the road, please give it a good time."

The man who pretended to be an old man did not move, but was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke. "Is there anything else undone? Tell me about it, maybe I can help you by the way." But tell me how you can see our flaws. ”

"Seriously?" Huang Lao Wu's dead-like eyes shone with some brilliance. "You're not afraid that I'm going to design something to harm you?"

"I have my own way of telling. The man said lightly. "I can only promise to do it when I get the chance. ”

Okay. Huang Lao Wu nodded slightly. "The jade pendant I wear around my neck and a total of five hundred and forty-eight taels of silver and silver tickets on my body, you go find a reliable dart board with a better reputation and send it to a blind girl named Yan Yingying in the old oil alley of Baishi City. You will do it with the poisonous oath of your parents and ancestors. So I said. ”

The man shook his head: "I never swear." I don't know where my parents were. All I can say is that I promised you. It's up to you whether you say it or not. ”

Huang Lao Wu puffed up his eyes and looked at the man vigorously for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "I saw the clue from the footprints of the two of you." This is the code trace thaumaturgy that I have practiced since I was a child, just look at the footprints of the person can see that this person is tall, short, fat, thin, men, women and children, you are clearly a young man but you want to pretend to be an old man, walking with your hands intentionally or unintentionally to the waist, either good at using hidden weapons or used to making talismans of the wild Taoist, you are a man and a woman. I guessed naturally. But I can't use this method for others, this Yuzhou is not clear, at least there are only one or two people in Jizhou who can have a realm like me. ”

The man was silent. Huang Laowu added in an astringent voice: "What I said is the truth." ”

"I know. The man nodded slowly. After a pause, he said, "I'll send the money for you." You can go on the road with peace of mind. ”

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work." Xiao Xia looked at the corpse of Huang Lao Wu on the ground and sighed, and then looked at the somewhat gloomy long alley in front of him.

"What's the matter, Daoist Xia, do you still want to wait for someone here?" Mingyue on the side asked.

"No, it looks like this man is alone. Natsu shook her head.

There is a saying among the veterans who are operating in the Wandering Word Camp that it is always better to see the danger clearly than not to see it clearly. This was also said in the mouth of Hu Qian of the Divine Machine Hall. As long as you see it clearly, you will be able to think of ways to deal with it. Vague conjectures and speculations often lead to self-confusion, and in the end, headless flies crash headlong into real danger. So Xiao Xia didn't leave in a panic after getting Mingyue's warning, but deliberately walked here to set up a trap and ambush, just to see who they were and how to identify them. In order to prevent this man from bringing a large number of men with him, he also had a few followers, and it was not a problem to get out anyway. Fortunately, it's the same as Xiao Xia guessed. This person should have only been followed first.

Now it seems that this is the right choice, if you know that it has been revealed, you will immediately panic and hug your head, with this person's practice of almost innate magic under the magic of the code trace technique, maybe one day will be chased by a large number of people brought.

Now the corpse can be moved to any corner of the alley. Cover it with the illusion talisman that conjured up the wall just now, and you won't be afraid of being seen before the talisman is exhausted. Although Fu Li only worked for about half a day, this alley was remote and secluded, and no one might show up for three or four days. Moreover, this person used the pulse interception hand he learned from Tang Chengcheng to point the death hole, and even if others checked it carefully, they couldn't find any clues. This time it can be regarded as a thrilling one.

But what about next time?

Because it is a concentration of all the felony death row prisoners who have different arts, martial arts, and Taoism, the Liuzi Camp is definitely the place with the most miscellaneous and diverse talents in the world. After two years of mixing in it, and being born and dying with all kinds of people together, Xiao Xia learned a lot of things. This disguise technique used to be used when spying on intelligence, and Xiao Xia himself was quite familiar with it, although he couldn't do the kind of mask made of human skin to make it fake and real, but it was enough to hide it from the eyes of ordinary people. originally planned to rely on this method to go all the way to Yunzhou in disguise, but since he was in Jizhou, he has been seen through three times, and it is only with careful calculation and a little luck that he can hide from the sky and turn the danger into a disaster. In addition, this time he was seen through by this man who had been a horse thief with his miraculous code tracking technique, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Of course, this man's code tracking technique may indeed be the only one, but the world is so big, there are so many strange people thaumaturgy, and there are no more magical tracking methods than this code trace technique. What's more, his disguise and concealment technique is far from being truly profound, and it is easy to be seen through at a glance in front of the masters, and the reward order of the Luoshui Gang has been announced to the world through the Qingyu Building, and there must be many masters who shine their eyes for the 100,000 taels of gold.

So what the hell should I do? Xiao Xia really scratched her head. Now it seems that it is no longer possible to rely on one's own strength, I am afraid that I will have to rely on the power of others.

If Tang Chengcheng is still there, it will naturally be safe to go to Yunzhou through the channels of the Tang family. The 100,000 taels of gold is an unimaginable windfall in the eyes of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, but a big family like the Tang family may not be eye-catching, not to mention that with the temperament of Fourth Brother Tang, he may have to rush to Qingzhou to solve the matter from the root. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and now it has always been just sad.

Going to the Pure Land Monastery to seek refuge in the Ten Directions? This method seems to be good, but in fact it doesn't work. The Ten Directions Divine Monk is quite famous in the rivers and lakes, but he is just an outstanding young disciple in the Pure Land Monastery. Regardless of whether the elders and abbots will be extrajudicial to their two bloody fanatics because of his own words, the relics of the Chixia monk on the body of the moon alone are a big problem, not to mention that the Pure Land Zen Monastery is far away in Xuzhou, and this road has been thousands of miles in the past, which is not much easier than going directly to Yunzhou.

Who else can you look for? Xiao Xia scratched her head and scratched her scalp so much that it was about to burst. He has traveled all over the world for more than ten years, and he knows many people, but there are not many people who have deep friendships, and there are even fewer people who can be relied on in the face of such a catastrophe and 100,000 taels of gold

No, there's another one. Xiao Xia's eyes lit up. Such a person, or a friend, he really has one, and this person may be in the Yangzhou area of Yuzhou now, and it doesn't sound difficult to find.

It's just this friend.Thinking of this, Xiao Xia couldn't help but smile bitterly. He really didn't want to go to this friend again unless he had to.
