Chapter 106: Clues

"Didn't that happen to happen?" Sheng Xuan withdrew his applauding hand with a calm expression, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and gave the storyteller a reward, and said, "This is wonderful, I will talk about it more in the future." ”

The storyteller smiled and said, "Thank you, Childe!" I often come to listen to books when I have time! ”

Qiong Yi's eyes darkened, and he followed him out of the teahouse with his anger, and slapped the person in front of him with a light and heavy slap: "Sheng Xuan, you are really ...... It's getting more and more ridiculous! ”

Sheng Xuanyan just pulled the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but think of the absurd thing of accidentally eating the wine pill a few days ago, and asked Qiong Yi to know that she didn't remember what she had done at all, and asked him when he drank so much wine and how he got drunk and looked so stupid. Sheng Xuan resented that he couldn't be angry with someone who was drunk, so he could only take advantage of this time to break back, and said in his heart: I'm sorry for myself if I don't tease you.

Bypassing this topic, he said: "The news I heard here is not true, and then I will go to the clan guard platform in the city with me, and the news there is more reliable." ”

Seeing his serious face, Qiong also nodded, and walked forward in the flow of people, "My intuition tells me that Cang Yu's rumors in Wu Yuecheng are a trap, but why would anyone set up this trap?" Joan also spoke very quietly, almost muttering to herself: "Could it be ......"

Thinking of this, her heart sank: "Could it be that the person who set up the game wants to attract the sword seekers to eradicate them together?" This not only narrows the competition, but also relieves the trouble. ”

"It's a possibility." Sheng Xuan complained: "If he doesn't have enough strength, doing so will only set himself on fire." ”

"yes." Qiong's unexplained worry stained his brows: "The news has been rising for a long time before we came, and almost all the monks who can arrive have gone to Wu Yuecheng in the past few days, I don't know what kind of scene is there now......

The two of them walked towards Danxiang's Sheng guarding the stage, and Qiong also walked into an unknown store from a few people under the leadership of Sheng Xuanyuan, and there was a gray-haired old man in front of the counter who was trembling and holding reading glasses to read a book, Sheng Xuanyan stepped forward and didn't know what to say to him, the man pointed to the backyard of the store, and continued to read without raising his head. Qiong also glanced at the old man, quickened his pace and followed Sheng Xuanyan from the backyard of the store into the inner door, not wanting that there was a courtyard in this courtyard, and a building in the building, and after going around a few times, he passed through the secret door, and finally, they stopped in front of an inconspicuous building, Sheng Xuanyan said, "It's here." ”

This Sheng clan's guard is too hidden, not only is there no plaque, but even the way to come needs a secret signal to find out, Qiong is also a little embarrassed about this, thinking of the unstable order in Danxiang City, it makes sense to be so unremarkable.

There was a heavy sound of "bang" and "bang" in the hall, and I saw four or five people standing side by side, their hands full of bowstrings, and the arrows condescendingly pointed straight at them: "Who is coming!" ”

Sheng Xuan resentfully ripped off the mask and held the Chengying Sword horizontally in front of him. Those few people recognized his identity and bowed their heads one after another: "Little young master." ”

"You don't have to salute." Sheng Xuan complained that they were at a loss, as if he was about to ask about his origin, and said bluntly: "Don't ask me why I'm here, and don't report my whereabouts to the clan." I'm here for one thing, is it true that Cang Yu fell into Wu Yuecheng in Danxiang City? When did it arise? ”

The man who seemed to be the leader clasped his hands and replied, "Young Master, the informant has not returned from the city today. The young master may wish to enter the guard platform to rest, and report to you when the informant returns. ”

Sheng Xuan nodded resentfully: "Disciple of the same sect, there is no need to be polite." Take me inside. ”

"Don't dare, please." The black-clothed disciple walked down the stairs and raised his hand to ask the two of them to enter the room to rest.

Many of the guards and governors under the leadership of the Sheng clan are often not disciples of their own families, but fellow disciples and capable people who are appointed by entering the sect to learn art or assessment, and most of them are in awe of their relatives.

Qiong Yi and Sheng Xuanyan took a short rest in the house, and waited for about two hours before the line returned to the clan's guard, and when they heard that the young master Sheng was here, they immediately met with him. Sheng Xuanyan thought that the hard work of pretending to be an informant lurking in the shadows was generally performed by men, but he didn't want Danxiang's informant to be a woman.

"I'm not here as a guest, so I don't have to be informal. Have you been able to get any information about Cang Yu's sword lately? ”

"Yes." The informant replied: "The matter that Cang Yu was brought to Wu Yuecheng as rumored by the monks in the market has become true. Why did the young master come to inquire about this, could it be that he also coveted that sword? ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't." Sheng Xuan replied coldly: "Did you find out this news yourself?" Wu Yuenei, can there be an informant from my sect? ”

The informant knew that he was speechless, and shook his head: "It's a lot of mouth." Back to the young master, Wu Yuecheng is a lonely city, located at the northern end of Dingkou Ridge, the boundary of Changtai, the terrain is remote and complex, and there is no arrangement for my sect's eyeliner. ”

It seems that he really knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and he prefers to go to the tiger mountain, so he has to take a trip, Qiong also listened silently on the side, and said secretly.

"Young master, forgive me for talking too much, did you go straight to Danxiang after attending the Spring Banquet?"

Sheng Xuan didn't answer her, but asked: "You are the eyeliner of this job, and the news is widespread, right?" Can it be known that two days after the 'Fang Fei' feast, what did the sect masters of the five clans discuss? Tell me the truth about what you know. ”

The informant pondered for a while: "The news we received from the defenders is that the Rong people in the western border have repeatedly rioted, and all ethnic groups have dispatched manpower to help the Xie clan protect the frontier, and the frontier is now extremely unstable, and there is a possibility of war at any time. The second is that the Lu and Su tribes each set up a royal palace 500 miles to the south. The third is this Cangyu sword, the five clans have negotiated, if the sword recognizes the master, they will not interfere, if the people in the rivers and lakes kill innocent people indiscriminately for the sword, then the Beishan line will come out to recover the sword, even if the sword has been recognized, they will also think of locking the sword and sealing the sword. ”

Sheng Xuan waved his hand, "Thank you." Let's go down. ”

The informant exited the room.

"It seems that it's just a fight between sects, and the five clans won't care about it." Qiong Yi read in his mouth, "Wu Yue in the lonely city is sparsely populated, but it seems to be a specially picked point. Could it be that after the Spring Banquet was held, someone got the news and deliberately set up a bureau to choose a site, and wanted to win a sword for hundreds of people in this lonely city? ”

"You're worried it's a well-laid trap?"

She shook her head, her eyes full of concern: "...... No. I am worried about the people of this city. ”

Qiong also grabbed his hands, his tone was low, but the words were urgent: "The road in the lonely city is impassable, even if only a dozen monks enter the city to grab the sword, if they really fight, they will not even have a chance to escape." She didn't dare to imagine the scene of ordinary people suffering this disaster for no reason, or fleeing in all directions and losing the mountains: "Sheng Xuan, the news that the eighth will become true will be ten percent true in a few days, and we must evacuate the ordinary people before the battle for the sword begins." ”

"This is ......" she lowered her head: "It's what we should do, compared to Cangyu, this is what we should do as protectors." ”

Sheng Xuan grudged and clenched her hand: "I'll contact the nearest Yue clan to guard the platform, and I will definitely put the protector first, rest assured." After that, he got up and went to call the consul of Taichung, and instructed him to pass a message to the flying pigeon guarding Taichung, which was closest to Wu Yuecheng, explaining the calamity that Cangyu might bring about by the coming of the world, and asking them to send people and horses to the lonely city of Wu Yue to evacuate the people.

Under the assignment of Sheng Xuan, with him as the leader, a team of men and horses went straight to Wu Yue, and the other team was arranged outside the city as a response.

Qiong also looked at the screen board painted with a map of the city bureau in the building, the Dingkou Ridge that runs through the north and south seemed so far away, she said, unconsciously clenched into a fist: "It takes about two hours to rush on horseback, and it is not early today, I am afraid that there will not be many people evacuated." ”

Sheng Xuan knew what she was worried about: "Let's go too." ”

He said: "This matter is known all over the city, someone must be fanning the flames, and we will go to Wu Yue to meet that person." "I combed through it carefully in my heart, and I have told everything that should be told, and I made sure that there is nothing left missing." I don't know what the news of Brother Yan and the others is, let's go back to the inn. ”

"Okay."

*

Back to the original inn, it was already sunset, the smoke rose in the city, the vendors closed their stalls, and the pedestrians were sparse and there was a large area. Su Ye and Yan Ting waited for a long time before seeing them come back, and when they opened the door, they asked, "Are you back?" Come over and summarize the news. ”

Yan Tingshen spoke: "Let's talk about the news we heard first, there is not much information, there are four points in total." First, the Demon Sect has definitely been born, and there are many signs of their activities in the Jiangbei area, and it is very likely that we will encounter them in Danxiang, but I don't know if this 'Demon Sect' is a generic term similar to the 'righteous path', or refers to a sect with a heretical cultivation method. ”

"I know that." Qiong also replied, "Before being expelled from Middle-earth by the joint efforts of the five clans and ten factions, there were three major factions in the Demon Sect, namely Qi Yin, Fu Soul and Ji Doom, which were the top of the ten major sects, almost surpassing the other seven factions of Guangyao, Qinggui, and Zen Yin, and were called 'Three Perfections Yin and Yang'. But a hundred years ago, they retreated to the north with great vitality, and maybe there was a division and merger inside. ”

Su Yeqi sighed: "That's the case." ”

"Well, then I'm going to go on?" After listening to Qiong Yi's addition, Yan Tingshen said again: "In addition to the birth of the Demon Sect, Guangyao and Zenyinmen have sent people, and there are countless scattered cultivators from the rivers and lakes. Then we heard that the Cang Yu Sword is now in the hands of a person named Zhang Yan in Wu Yuecheng, and after discussing it with Su Ye, I unanimously speculated that it was false. The last news, there are currently at least four teams of people who have gone to Wu Yuecheng to grab the sword, according to observation, almost all of them are small groups of ten people, there are mortals who have no foundation in martial arts, and there are also high-level monks, but the number is very small, and it is not a tricky opponent. ”

Sheng Xuan nodded in response.

Su Ye said silently: "After all, a high-level monk is not a handful of cabbage on the side of the road, which sect can't be called a genius before the age of twenty to 'break the realm'?" The three of you look at me separately, it's you who are outrageous! ”
