Chapter 217: Searching
Dressed in exotic clothes, Huyan Six Swordsmen walked in the Nine Forehead City, attracting the eyes of many people, but they were just in a hurry, most of the people in the Nine Forehead City were businessmen who made a living from running merchants, or people in the rivers and lakes, Huyan Six Knife Men were not ordinary people at first glance, and naturally no one had the leisure to provoke them on purpose.
At this time, it was the end of the sunset, and the dusky slanting sun drooped to the top of the mountain, and a layer of light yellow clothes was draped everywhere in sight, pulling the shadows of the six swordsmen of Huyan into a diagonal line.
Walking in the Nine Forehead City, the eyes of the six swordsmen of Huyan scanned the surroundings, searching for the traces of the target, there were the goods vendors who were carrying bamboo baskets and preparing to go home, and there were also farmers who had just returned from the fields with a little stinky Ni all over their bodies, and their shoulders were resistant to farm tools.
"Boss, this nine-forehead city is not big, but it is not small, where should we go to find the two of them, this aimless wandering is not a thing. ”
The old six-pointed thin and shrill voice came.
After tracking and identifying the horse's hoof traces over the past few days, the Huyan Six Swordsmen had determined that the other party was two people, but apart from Nianqin, they didn't know whether the other person was old or young, or how he cultivated.
Looking around at the crowd of people coming and going left and right, they had already turned the Nine Forehead City for nearly half of it, but they still didn't find any trace of the target, and the boss also knew that it was not a way to go down like this, seeing that his fierce face showed a little thought, and then slowly spoke:
"The sixth man is right, although this Nine Forehead City is only a small town, but there are a lot of travelers coming and going, and it is not a simple matter to find those two people here. ”
"It's dusk now, and maybe the target is to rest here for a day, and then leave for Wudang Mountain tomorrow morning, so we only have a chance to look for them for one night. ”
The thin figure of the sixth child stood beside the boss, like an adult and a child, and saw him looking up at the old avenue:
"Yes, I hope we can catch that little cub today, if you can't find them tonight, you can only ambush them halfway, their destination is Wudang Mountain, there is only this official road to go here, with our light cultivation, that little cub will not be able to escape from the palm of our hands!"
Listening to the tone of the sixth child, full of confidence, the boss also nodded slightly, and the battle with Quan Anwu can be said to have shattered their self-confidence, Ben Yi, with his own strength, can be with the first-class master board wrist, but he didn't expect a highly toxic body, the strength of the whole Anwu, will not put them in the eyes, so how can Huyan Six Swords be embarrassed, they urgently need a victory, to regain confidence.
"The other party is just a child, since the left envoy has a portrait, he should have a deep understanding of the target's situation, and can send us here, because the cultivation of the accompanying people is not to worry. ”
"We can actually be in the Nine Forehead City, we will capture the target, and after the Nine Forehead City, it is the outer boundary of Wudang Mountain, there are many Wudang Mountain disciples will go out to practice, if they meet, with our strength, we are naturally not afraid, but if we provoke the six major factions of the Daomen, it will definitely add obstacles to the next arrangement of the formation. ”
The boss's thick fingers rubbed his chin lightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"When they enter the city, they will definitely look for inns to live in, so that we will divide up and search the inns everywhere, and we will surely find their traces. ”
"I, the sixth, and fifth acted together, and the others were divided into a group to check the major inns, so that while ensuring efficiency, we could also deal with emergencies. ”
The boss seems to be five big and three thick, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, looking like a reckless man in the rivers and lakes, but his mind is exquisite, although the boundary of the Nine Forehead City is small, but there are some people from the rivers and lakes who come and go, maybe there are masters hidden in it, the three people of the Huyan Six Swordsmen join forces, and the three masters of the ordinary second-rate realm are cooperating with the joint attack formation, even if they meet the top second-rate martial artists, they are not afraid of the slightest, and the only ones who can live in the Huyan Six Swordsmen who can be cultivated are the first-class realms, but how many people are there in the rivers and lakes with such strength? The probability of being able to sneak into this insignificant nine-fronted city is really negligible.
But there are no absolutes, if you really meet a first-class martial artist to help, it can only be said that God favors Nianqin.
The six swordsmen of Huyan are divided into two groups, and this kind of lineup, in these nine cities, can be said to be first-class, who is competing.
The eldest took out a piece of rice paper from his bosom, opened the rice paper, and the child painted on it, as if he was Nianqin, handed the rice paper to the hands of the other three, and saw him open his mouth and instructed:
"You take this copy of the sample, the old rule, if you catch that little cub, you will set off green fireworks, and if you need support, you will set off red fireworks. ”
Speaking of this, I saw the boss's solemn exhortation:
"The left envoy has an explanation, he must capture the little cub intact and not hurt him, you know!"
"Yes, Boss!"
Everyone responded in unison.
The boss nodded slowly and waved his big hand:
"Okay, be careful, let's go!"
I saw six people from Huyan, divided into two groups, hidden in the sparse flow of people, and walked in two different directions.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was three hours later, the street was already silent and empty, the lights of the small houses on both sides of the street had long been extinguished, only the inns that provided accommodation, and the dim lights were still lit in the house, and the entire Nine Forehead City fell into the shroud of night.
"Squeak~"
I saw that the door of an inn was pushed open, and out of it came three men dressed in exotic clothes, who were the eldest of the six swordsmen in Huyan, the sixth and fifth.
Standing in the middle of the dark street, the sixth child couldn't help but scratch his hair, a little distressed:
"Boss, we have almost screened the inns of the size of the Nine Forehead City, and there is no news from the fourth one, could it be that they did not rest here at all, but passed through the Nine Forehead City and went directly to Wudang Mountain?"
The boss said in a firm tone:
"No, after my observation of the traces they left, and with the time calculation, they have been walking for many days without resting, that Nianqin is still a child, such a high-intensity rush, the body must be unbearable, they must still be in the Nine Forehead City, there is still an area in front of them that has not been there, let's go and investigate first." ”
The boss was so sure that the target was still in the Nine Forehead City, and the sixth child immediately closed his mouth, and immediately took two short legs, stepped on small broken steps, and ran towards the dark night ahead.
In a guest room, the black is like an invisible abyss sin, swallowing all the simple furniture in the room, Nianqin and the master are crowded together on the same small bed, seeing his eyes looking up at the ceiling with a burst of sound, he has been tired for several days, if he stayed in the past, Nianqin would have fallen asleep a long time ago, but today somehow, although he felt physically tired, he could not sleep, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, as if something was staring at him.
Nianqin couldn't help but clench her hands, these nine foreheads, for him to say that there are weirdness everywhere, and he can't help but secretly decide in his heart:
"No, tomorrow, tomorrow, I must ask the master to take me out of here......"
Nianqin grabbed the quilt tightly with both hands, and then hid her head in the quilt and wrapped it tightly.
"Boss, according to the shopkeeper in front of you, this is the last inn in the city, and beyond here, it's a suburb. ”
Lao Liu pointed to a building in front of him and said.
I saw that this is a little dilapidated small second floor, the two small inn doors, are also covered with a little mildew, the line of sight moved up, this is a yellowed to blackened plaque, engraved on the four characters of Fuheng Inn, and only carefully identified, can you see clearly.
The three of them stood in front of the gate of the Fuheng Inn, and the boss took the first step, pushing open the door just like the dozen or so inns they had explored before.
"Squeak~"
There was a screeching sound from the dilapidated door, and the three of them stepped into the inn with their feet raised, and a faint musty smell in the air entered their noses.
Entering the inn, the place that can be seen can be described as unobstructed, the area here is very small, only three zhang away from the main entrance, there are rooms and doors, and on the far left, there is a simple long table, on the long table is lit with a candle that has been half burned, only to see a person sitting at the long table, holding a book, and then the faint light of the candle, concentrating on reading.
"Three dollars a night in a lower class room, five dollars a night in an upper class room......"
The creak of the door opening and closing, in the quiet environment of the night, seemed so harsh, I saw that Xiao Er did not raise his head, and casually quoted the price of the hotel, like a book in his hand, with endless attraction.
The three of them walked slowly to the dilapidated long cabinet, and the boss looked at the shopkeeper who was still looking at the books, and his thick fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.
"Oh, what are you doing, don't stay in the store and leave!"
The shopkeeper's voice was impatient, and his expression was a little impatient, as if he was blaming someone for disturbing his reading.
When he raised his head, with the help of the faint dim candlelight, what he saw was the boss's ill-intentioned face, which made the shopkeeper's body tremble, and his expression immediately froze.
The shopkeeper's eyes were full of timidity and scrutiny, looking at the three strangely dressed men in front of him, and his voice softened:
"Three, do you want to stay in a hotel?"
The boss's gaze swept over the face of the shopkeeper, and then looked at the book in his hand, only to see that the writing said "Half a Life Getaway", which made the boss inevitably have some doubts in his heart:
"The second child of this shop is so attentive, look at the title of this book, is it possible that it is not a martial arts technique?"
