Chapter 443: There was a guess in their hearts, and the three of them went their separate ways
Looking at his portrait with an ugly face, Tang Xiaotian had an urge to rush up and tear it up. But this impulse was not realized, but was pressed down by Chen Luoxue.
"What are you doing? If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!"
Although Chen Luoxue was persuading Tang Xiaotian, anyone could hear the patience in her words.
Tang Xiaotian took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to rush over and destroy the notice. But he still looked at his portrait carefully, trying to keep him in his mind. But looking at it, Tang Xiaotian felt strange. Frowning slightly, he snorted inadvertently.
"What's wrong?"
Frowning slightly, Xu Chenglin turned his head to look at Tang Xiaotian.
"Third brother, what is the difference between these three notices if you look carefully?"
Tang Xiaotian stretched out his hand and swept over the three notices one by one.
Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue glanced at each other, and they both looked at the three notices again. After a closer look, the two really noticed a little difference. Although the three notices are stained with a lot of filth, if you look closely, there is actually a difference. Tang Xiaotian's notice seemed a little old. The notices of Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue are newer than the former.
"These three notices were posted at a later time, and your notice should be the first to be posted. And the notice of the two of us is the latest to post. β
Xu Chenglin frowned and said what he had observed.
"Isn't that weird?"
Tang Xiaotian pinched his chin and asked thoughtfully.
"Indeed!"
Xu Chenglin nodded, and then spoke again.
"This situation is very interesting! The three notices were posted at the same time, I am very curious why this Taixuanzong wanted you first? If the situation of the three of us was spread because of the Qinglian Sect's heart, Taixuanzong should have targeted the three of us at the same time. But now this is not the case, which means that Xiaotian's existence has long been known to Taixuanzong. Tell me, how did Taixuanzong know about Xiaotian's existence?"
Xu Chenglin's question didn't stop anyone. I saw Tang Xiaotian smile and say softly.
"Needless to say, someone from Taixuanzong must have seen my face!"
Chen Luoxue shook her head slightly, but she denied Tang Xiaotian's opinion.
"I don't think so! I guess it's not just someone from Taixuanzong who has seen you, and there should be a big enmity with you! This person should still have a certain status in Taixuanzong, otherwise Taixuanzong wouldn't have made such a stirring up for an insignificant person!"
Tang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, he found that what Chen Luoxue said was very likely. Then he thought of something, his eyes shrank sharply, and then he sneered.
"Hmph! There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them!"
Seeing Tang Xiaotian's expression, combined with his words, Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue already roughly knew who Tang Xiaotian was thinking.
"Let's take a look at the situation first! If that's what we think, there's no need for the second brother to investigate, just call him over when the time comes. If it weren't for what we thought, this would be a little weird!"
Turning his head and glancing at Jian Cheng, Xu Chenglin had a meaningful smile on his face.
The three of them had been standing in front of the sign for some time, so they had been noticed by someone. Seeing the two guards in front of the city gate walking towards them, Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue glanced at each other, and in an instant, the aura on their bodies changed their appearance. Tang Xiaotian immediately reacted, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and his appearance changed. This kind of transformational spell is not common, but the monks who have been walking outside all year round are more or less proficient.
The sound of clattering footsteps stopped not far behind the three of them, and Xu Chenglin and the three of them seemed to be aware of it at this time, and turned around slightly.
"You three, have you seen the three people in the notice?"
One of the guards looked at the three of them, his tone inquiring.
At this time, the fool will admit it directly. If you want to admit it, the three of them won't change their appearance.
Spreading his hands, Xu Chenglin shrugged helplessly.
"I said this big brother, the three people written in this notice are extremely evil, if we see them, we will still live?"
Hearing this, the guard nodded slightly, apparently agreeing with him.
But at this time, the other guard narrowed his eyes and said in a strange tone.
"I don't think that's the case! I think the three of you are the three in this portrait!"
If you are an ordinary person, you must have a weak heart when you hear the words of the guards at this time. But who are the three of them, how could they be deceived by this guard's words?
"Hehe! The guard brother laughed! Look at my brother and sister, what is similar to this portrait?"
Xu Chenglin smiled, pointed at the three of them, and scratched at the three notices.
The two guards looked at the three of them, compared them again, and found that the three of them were very different from the portraits on the notices. The two of them glanced at each other, and then let the three of them go.
"Don't stay too long before this announcement, if you stand here, you will be affected. β
After another admonition to the three of them, the two guards prepared to turn and leave. But at this time, Xu Chenglin's heart moved, and he opened his mouth to stop the two people.
"Two big brothers, wait a minute! I see that these three notices are new and old, but there is a certain relationship between these three people, did someone take one of the notices?"
Hearing this, the two guards smiled at each other. One of the guards looked Xu Chenglin up and down, and then nodded appreciatively.
"You kid is very observant, it's a pity not to be a catcher. But your guess is wrong! This thief called Tang Xiao has actually been wanted by Taixuanzong for a long time. As for the two people in the back, they were just wanted a few days ago. β
Xu Chenglin made a sudden look, and then thanked the two of them with both hands in fists before speaking.
"I see! Thank you two big brothers!"
The two guards laughed, ignored Xu Chenglin, and the three of them left.
"Tut-tut, I can't run away, it seems that Xuanzong really knew about Xiaotian's situation in advance!"
Xu Chenglin smiled lightly and turned his head to look at the two.
Xu Chenglin's behavior just now is actually verifying a situation. He just wanted to find out whether Tang Xiaotian's notice was taken away by someone, or whether it was really as the three of them thought, Taixuanzong knew the news in advance. Now that the situation has been verified, the three of them have a plan in their hearts.
"Let's go, let's go into town!"
With a wave of his hand, Xu Chenglin led the two of them towards the city gate.
Coincidentally, when the three of them entered the city, they happened to meet the two guards just now. When the five of them saw each other again, they were all slightly surprised. But after being surprised, the two guards smiled and let the three go. When the three of them walked under the city gate, they couldn't help but pause.
"You think the two of them would have laughed if they had known that the three of us had another purpose?"
Tang Xiaotian's expression on his face did not change, but his voice reached the ears of the two of them in a strange tone. Chen Luoxue turned her head and glared at Tang Xiaotian fiercely. Immediately, her eyes narrowed, and she glanced up at the three words of Jian Cheng. Xu Chenglin did the same, but there was a little more sneer on his face.
Wine shops, teahouses, and inns are the easiest places to find out the news. The three of them came to Wenjian City, agreed on a meeting place in advance, and went to inquire about the news.
Xu Chenglin came to an elegant teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and waited quietly. He seemed to sit calmly, but his consciousness was quietly listening to the various voices in the teahouse. During the tea season, he heard a lot of miscellaneous news. But no one was heard talking about the three notices outside the city.
Sighing softly, Xu Chenglin felt slightly disappointed. But at this time, the guy in the teahouse was bringing the tea. Xu Chenglin smiled at the guy, and then very cleverly introduced a topic, and pulled the teahouse guy to chat. Who is Xu Chenglin, this kind of inquiry news has not been once or twice. The east sentence is useful, the west sentence is useless, Xu Chenglin Tiannan and Haibei chattered for a while, that is, he heard a lot of useful news. And the matter about the three notices outside the city finally has an eyebrow.
It wasn't until your buddy in the teahouse was called by the shopkeeper that Xu Chenglin smiled apologetically. In order to express his apology, Xu Chenglin was also very good at being a person, and stuffed a small piece of silver into the teahouse guy. When the teahouse guy heard the shopkeeper's call, he was a little distressed. But after receiving Xu Chenglin's silver, he laughed happily. thanked Xu Chenglin a few times, and then ran away happily. Xu Chenglin shook his head and smiled, and after tasting a pot of tea, he got up and left.
Everyone has their own experience, and everyone has their own way of dealing with problems. Xu Chenglin asked for a pot of tea, and he found out the news clearly. His behavior can be described as extremely effortless. Compared with Xu Chenglin's quietness, Tang Xiaotian is much more flamboyant.
Tang Xiaotian came to the wine shop, and when he entered the wine shop, he slapped the table and asked for wine. The bartender in the wine shop was used to seeing this scene, but he was not frightened by Tang Xiaotian. The voices of the people drinking at the next table were also very loud, so they didn't pay much attention to Tang Xiaotian.
Glancing at the surrounding tables of drinkers, and seeing that they all looked like some people who were traveling from south to north, Tang Xiaotian laughed loudly. While laughing, Tang Xiaotian did not forget to instruct the shopkeeper of the wine shop to count all the wine money on the surrounding tables in his account. Then he thought about it again, took a few quick steps and closed the door of the liquor store, and when he returned, he threw a money bag to the shopkeeper. Seeing this, the shopkeeper and bartender of the wine shop wanted to stop Tang Xiaotian. But thinking that the wine table was full at this time, Tang Xiaotian paid again, so he also let Tang Xiaotian come.
Tang Xiaotian laughed inexplicably, which attracted the attention of many people around him. After this sentence continued, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
They are all people who go from south to north, and they have a lot of pride. Seeing that Tang Xiaotian was so generous, some people around him stepped forward to toast with a smile. Tang Xiaotian was a cultivator, and the wine in the mortal world would not let him get drunk. Therefore, the people who came to toast him, Tang Xiaotian did not refuse.
Good drinkers have a bad problem, that is, they can't see anyone who can drink better than themselves. The liquor shop was lively, and the people who came to toast first drank from the glass, and then replaced it with a small bowl, then with a sea bowl, and finally directly used the wine jar. After some staggering, except for Tang Xiaotian, who was still sober, the rest of the people were a little drowsy.
Glancing at the shopkeeper and the bartender who had been sober in the wine shop, Tang Xiaotian quietly shot out two spiritual lights, which stunned them. With the arrangement of a soundproof barrier, Tang Xiaotian surrounded the entire wine shop.
People are wary of people they don't know, and if people are the most unguarded at any time, it's when they're not conscious. While everyone was still drinking, Tang Xiaotian asked about the notice outside the city. I didn't know that he asked this question, but many people rushed to answer.
After a random answer in the wine shop, Tang Xiaotian also figured out the situation of the notice outside the city. To his surprise, some of these people knew something inside. Tang Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and he asked cautiously. After some vague explanations, he got a rough idea of what was going on. Nodding with a gloomy face, Tang Xiaotian had both anger and a sense of clarity in his heart. After asking about some things about Sword City, Tang Xiaotian was satisfied with the soundproofing enchantment and left the wine shop. Before leaving, he did not forget to close the door of the wine shop.
In front of the inn, Tang Xiaotian and Xu Chenglin happened to meet together. The two looked at each other and smiled, and glanced up at the name of the innβthere was an inn. When the three of them entered Wenjian City before, they saw this inn from a distance, and they agreed to meet here. I didn't expect to get under the inn, and when I saw the name of the inn, I knew that this was a wonderful place.
As soon as the two of them walked into the inn, they saw Chen Luoxue sitting alone at a wooden table. The two didn't say much, and walked directly towards Chen Luoxue's table. But as they walked, they heard the whispers of the people around them.
"Look, there's no one else who is unlucky!"
This girl is beautiful, but she is a thorny rose, and not anyone can touch it. β
"What a thorny rose, I think she is a poisonous flower, don't look beautiful, but whoever approaches is unlucky! I didn't look at the previous men, but I was a little closer to her, and someone fell inexplicably, and someone fainted inexplicably......
Xu Chenglin and Tang Xiaotian glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Immediately, they saw the impatience on Chen Luoxue's face, and they understood what was going on. The whispers of everyone in the away battle were nothing more than someone who wanted to come and talk to Chen Luoxue, but she used a spell to send them away.
Ignoring the whispers of everyone, the two of them sat directly at Chen Luoxue's table. Gently buttoning the tabletop, Tang Xiaotian quietly arranged a soundproof enchantment. Xu Chenglin shook his head lightly and directly communicated with the two. Tang Xiaotian was stunned, then smiled and buckled the table again, removing the soundproof enchantment.
Xu Chenglin didn't give in, and directly picked up the useful news he inquired about and shared it with two people. After Xu Chenglin finished speaking, Tang Xiaotian said the news he heard again. When Tang Xiaotian focused on the matter of the notice outside the city, Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue listened very carefully.
"Sure enough, as we thought, Taixuanzong had long known about Xiaotian's existence. What's even more coincidental is that the nameless monk he first met was actually from Taixuanzong. Only made a feud with one person in the Holy Land, and this person also happened to be a monk of the Taixuan Sect, but it was even more coincidental that this person appeared after the Immortal Sect and the Immortal Sect left. Hehe!
Xu Chenglin analyzed very calmly at first, but the more he analyzed it later, the colder his voice became, and in the end, he only had a sneer.
It's not that he deliberately connected Taixuanzong with certain things, but everything was too coincidental. This situation of the Taixuan Sect made him can't help but think of the Blue Jade Sect of the Fengyuan Continent.
Xu Chenglin has this idea, and Chen Luoxue also has it. The eyes of the two met in the air, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes. Tang Xiaotian didn't comprehend the thoughts of the two, because he didn't know about the Blue Jade Sect, and he didn't participate in that double-power martial arts. There are some little secrets between the two people, he still doesn't know.
"It seems that we need to call the second brother over, and now that this situation makes the second brother stay in Xuanzhen Dao, it is better to act with us!"
Tang Xiaotian raised his eyebrows, and Transsion suggested the two of them.
"That's right! This is so prosperous in Sword City, but I didn't expect that there was a problem with the sect behind it. β
Xu Chenglin nodded slightly and agreed with Tang Xiaotian's suggestion.
Before Tang Xiaotian could reply to the last sentence, he heard Chen Luoxue's voice sound.
"Prosperous? Don't you look carefully? Don't you think it's a little strange to have a smile on the street?"
Hearing Chen Luoxue's voice, both of them were a little surprised. The next moment they acted almost in unison, all looking out of the passenger station.
At this time, there happened to be pedestrians passing by outside the inn, and Xu Chenglin and Tang Xiaotian were not surprised to see the smiles on the faces of pedestrians. The two of them didn't find anything strange, but they expected that Chen Luoxue wouldn't talk nonsense, so they continued to observe.
One pedestrian walked by, ten pedestrians walked by, and a group of pedestrians hurried by. Finally, the faces of the two people changed. The so-called oddity, they finally noticed.
There are joys and sorrows in the world, and all living beings coexist at the same time. And the pedestrians who had just walked in front of Xu Chenglin and Tang Xiaotian had only one expression, and that was joy. There are so many beings that there can't be only one kind of joy. Even if there is a great event in a region, it is not possible for everyone to be happy. It's an anomaly, and there must be something unusual.
The two of them noticed the strangeness, and when they looked at the smiles of the passers-by and the people in the inn, they suddenly had a creepy feeling. The smile was so strange and silent that neither of them noticed.
With one hand on her cheek, Chen Luoxue's fingers tapped lightly on the table. Successfully attracting the attention of the two, she looked into the distance and said something thoughtfully.
"It's not easy to ask Sword City, it's a big problem!"
She said this sentence directly, and did not choose to transmit the sound. Xu Chenglin and Tang Xiaotian nodded, and they also felt that this was indeed the case.
