Chapter 569: Arraignment
The Thorn of the Rose, an auction was underway, in the middle of the auction, the auctioneer was temporarily called back to the backstage, and then a demon cultivator handed him a piece of paper and said to him: "When you introduce the following spiritual objects in a while, add this sentence, remember to say it without leaving a trace." ”
The auctioneer took the paper and looked at it, the few sentences written on it were all what he said before introducing the spiritual object, but today he combined these few sentences together, so he nodded happily and said: "Please rest assured, Lord Steward, I will do what you say, and I will never miss a word." ”
The steward nodded slightly and said, "You just write it down, this is what Deacon Yun personally ordered, if you say a wrong word, the two of us won't be able to eat and walk around, maybe you will need to say these words often in the future, you had better memorize them all." ”
The auctioneer cautiously agreed, picked up the paper again and looked at it carefully, then bowed down to the steward, and walked out of the backstage with a professional smile on his face.
The steward watched the figure of the auctioneer disappear behind the curtain, then turned around and went to another room behind, saw the monk who was packing the box, took out a pile of white paper with the images of the two monks from his storage bag, and asked a monk, "How many spiritual objects are being auctioned today?"
The monk clicked on the box next to him and said, "There are ten large pieces and twenty-three small pieces. ”
The steward counted out twenty-three blank pieces of paper and handed them over, "Today, all the boxes for the auction of spiritual objects are wrapped with these drawings, remember not to miss any of them." ”
The monk cautiously took the blank paper, nodded his head in agreement, and when the matter was arranged, the steward left the backstage and returned to the house in the courtyard. Inside, Yun Fengyan and the other two deacons were chatting, and after seeing the steward come back, he asked, "Have you finished arranging everything just now?"
The steward nodded and said, "Everything has been arranged according to your instructions, Lord Deacon, is there anything else?"
Yun Fengyan and the other two deacons glanced at each other, and the three of them got up at the same time. Then Yun Fengyan said: "There are more than 100 drawings I handed over to you, and I will do what I say for the next three days, if the drawings are not enough, you can find me to get them, okay, let's go back first." ”
The steward bowed down and sent the three out of the room to the outside of the side door of the Rose Thorn, and then watched the three deacons get into the carriage before he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and returned to the courtyard.
At this time, the auctioneer on the stage had already said the first time according to what was said on the paper, and the audience below did not have much reaction, only the two monks in the middle box glanced at each other, and one of them said: "The news of Beicheng has been sent out just now, and the thing should be among all the auction spirit objects today." ”
The other monk nodded and said, "I heard it too, it seems that we still have to auction off a spiritual object today to get the information, you pay attention to the auction price, and see if there are any spiritual objects that are cheaper." It's not very rare, let's just take that spiritual object. ”
After the end of the auction. When they opened the package in the room, they saw the white paper wrapped in the object, and when they unfolded it, they saw two images on it, and one of the monks nodded and carefully put the white paper into his storage bag. Then the two walked out of the box.
After the thorn of the rose, the two monks walked down the street to a courtyard near the inner city, knocked lightly on the door, and when the door was opened from the inside, the two monks went straight into the main hall. Seeing Chang Yue sitting on the Taishi chair in the main hall, the monk took out the drawing from the storage bag and handed it over, saying, "Steward Chang, the news has been sent back, it is two portraits of monks. ”
Chang Yue took the image, looked at it, and didn't have any impression, so he folded it back and said, "You guys will go to the Rose Thorn tomorrow, if you send a message, you will continue to bring the news back by auctioning spiritual objects, by the way, are you still carrying enough spars?"
The two monks nodded and said: "Enough, we all pick the cheapest auction, basically no one will follow after the premium, and it won't cost too much spar, by the way, I think there are such portraits in every auction of spiritual objects, so what if someone else gets the news?"
Chang Yue shook his head and said: "The two people on the portrait don't even know us, even if others get it, they can guess something, the future messages are all marked with code words, and people who have not agreed on these code words can't see what is written on it at all, okay, you did a good job today, go back and rest." ”
The two monks nodded in agreement, turned around and returned to their room, Chang Yue muttered slightly, walked into his room, took out a brush on the desk, wrote a piece of paper and put two pictures together, and then sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Chang Yue came to a courtyard next to the Dan Pavilion in the inner city, and handed over the paper and drawings to a monk inside, and he did not stay in the courtyard for long, and then returned to his courtyard.
Shangguan Hui and the two lived in an inn in Beicheng, and they inquired about the Qin Mansion to the guys at the inn, but they didn't expect the guys to still not say the answer they wanted to get, Shangguan Hui looked at the rising sun outside the window, and couldn't help but hesitate to Shangguan Han and said: "I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, yesterday we didn't check the courtyard where a large number of Taoist cultivators gather in Beicheng above the restaurant, I wonder if these demon cultivators in Beicheng are helping the hidden news surnamed Qin?"
Shangguan Han shook his head and said: "No, the surname Qin is just a small Taoist cultivator, he shouldn't have such a great ability to let all the demon cultivators help hide, maybe it's the monk we saw in Dongcheng, he may have deceived us, I think since there is not much gain in Beicheng, let's go back to Dongcheng and ask, after all, there are Taoist cultivators, maybe there will be some discovery." ”
Shangguan Hui pondered for a moment and said, "What you said also makes sense, let's go to Dongcheng now, and find restaurants and inns and other places to find out the news." ”
After the two finished discussing, they returned to Dongcheng from Beicheng, first found a restaurant to have breakfast, and Shangguan Hui casually threw a piece of spirit stone to the guy and said, "Do you know that there is a monk named Qin Wen in this Dongcheng, where is his mansion?"
The man took the spiritual priest, his eyes couldn't help but straighten up, he hadn't seen such a generous monk, so he hurriedly replied: "I know, I know, this Qin Mansion is famous in our Dongcheng, and the Huang Mansion was destroyed by the Qin Mansion back then, but now he should not be in Dongcheng." ”
Shangguan Hui heard the guy casually tell the past of the Qin Mansion, and knew that he was asking the right person this time, so he couldn't help but show a slightly surprised expression and said, "Then do you know where he moved now?"
The guy hesitated a little, lowered his voice and said, "I'll tell you two, don't go outside to spread the word that I said it, basically the whole Dongcheng knows about this matter, and the Qin family has moved to Beicheng." ”
As soon as the man's words came to this, Shangguan Han and the others couldn't help but glance at each other again, but they didn't expect to turn around and come up with such a result, Shangguan Han interrupted the guy a little impatiently: "Then do you know where he lives in Beicheng? We've been looking for it in Beicheng for a day, but the demon cultivators in Beicheng all said that they hadn't heard of Qin Wen?"
The man's face became more hesitant, and his mouth was a little hesitant, so Shangguan Hui casually took out another spirit stone, put it in the man's hand and said, "As long as you tell us the truth, this spirit stone is also yours." ”
The guy looked at the extra spirit stone in his hand, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said in his heart: "It's absolutely right that the Qin family is in Beicheng now, and I didn't know what the relationship between this Qin family and demon cultivation was at that time, and it was several major demon cultivators in Beicheng who came to invite him into Beicheng at the same time, and I also heard that the Qin family lives in the most luxurious Heavenly Demon Garden built by demon cultivation, but the little one has never been to Beicheng, this qiē is all heard, and the guest officer can verify it himself." ”
"Heavenly Demon Garden?, Demon Deacon?" Hearing these words from the man's mouth, Shangguan Wei waved his hand to let the man leave first, and then he groaned in his heart and said: "We are estimated to have been deceived by those demon cubs, and the monks who can be welcomed to the north city by the demon deacon, the guys in the restaurant will not even hear of it." ”
Shangguan Han got up at this time and said: "I'm going to demolish that restaurant now, I dare to lie to us, this time I have to let them know how powerful Lao Tzu is." ”
Shangguan Hui hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive first, it's still the most important thing to find Qin Wen now, don't we already know about the Heavenly Demon Garden? After the two put the food in their mouths, they walked out of the restaurant.
After returning to Beicheng, they found the Heavenly Demon Garden, but when they came to the Heavenly Demon Garden, they found that there was not even a monk on duty at the door, and it was very quiet inside.
He turned around and spread his hands and said, "The one surnamed Qin is not in it." ”
Shangguan Han was really angry this time, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "I didn't expect that young man in Dongcheng to dare to deceive us, he really ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts." ”
Shangguan Hui shook his head at this time and said: "I don't think what the guy in Dongcheng said is not like a lie, after all, he said that the whole Dongcheng knows, we just need to ask a random person, there is no need for him to lie to us, the most likely thing is that the surname Qin already knows that we are here, so he hid, not only did he hide, but also let these demon cultivators help him hide his whereabouts."
