Because it was still early, passing by the City God Temple, Shen Yun couldn't hold back, limped on his heels, and walked in.

This was once the place where the three Gu brothers "picked up the work". Back then, Yuan Feng, who was seriously injured, was also secretly transferred from the city to his uncles by the Gu brothers using the spell of "shrinking the ground into inches".

After a three-year absence, I will return to the provincial capital. Seeing the familiar scene, Shen Yun couldn't help but think of the relevant people and things.

The temple is still the same. The bluestone incense burner in front of the statue has some burnt incense sticks inserted in it. Proof that there is still incense here.

His eyes swirled on the incense burner, and Shen Yun's heart moved, and he stepped forward to look at the bottom of the incense burner.

There were several pieces of yellow rune paper folded into triangles.

This is the rule of the three Gu brothers: write the life on the yellow rune paper, fold it into a triangle, and press it under the incense burner in front of the statue.

Judging from the color of the yellow rune paper, as well as the depth of the creases, they have been pressed under this for a long time.

Shen Yun remembered very well that the three Gu brothers had personally said that they would come over to check on every three or five days at most. If there is a "live" they like, they will write the price of the transaction and the location of the meeting on the back of the yellow rune paper. Otherwise, they will simply take the yellow rune paper away and throw it away. And if the person who lives down agrees to take away the yellow rune paper, it means that the next life is successful.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun couldn't help but pick up these yellow rune papers and turn them over to look at the back.

They are all unwritten.

In other words, the three Gu brothers have not come to the temple for a long time to "pick up work".

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the temple.

Someone's coming!

Listening to the footsteps were two men in their prime.

Shen Yun put the yellow rune paper back under the incense burner as it was, and with an arrow step, he jumped behind the statue of the city god and hid it. To be on the safe side, he also put a breath charm on himself.

Footsteps are getting closer. In a few moments, there were two figures, one in front of the other, walking into the temple.

Seeing the two of them, Shen Yun almost exclaimed.

Both of them can be said to be his acquaintances.

The one at the head was a burly man, wearing a green shirt that had not been changed for thousands of years, with an empty left sleeve and cuffs pinned to the belt. Tang Ye, who is not guarding the mountain gate in the Hongmen Martial Arts Hall, which one is it?

The one behind him, Shen Yun has also seen twice. That year, Wu Baoli died tragically in the martial arts hall, and Shen Yun was falsely accused of being the murderer. The Governor of the Apothecary ordered the white-robed man to put him in the confinement room of the Disciplinary Place.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and this one is still wearing the same style of white robe. The difference is that his beard is forked at this time, and his face is haggard. The white robe on his body also seemed to have not been changed for many days, not to mention wrinkled, and there were several obvious stains.

Shen Yun is not surprised. How did the two of them get here?

After the white robe entered the door, he immediately looked around the temple vigilantly.

Now, Shen Yun could already see his cultivation at a glance. A high-level martial artist, true qi has been condensed in his body.

With his cultivation, even if he didn't have a breath charm, the white robe would not be able to detect Shen Yun's existence.

Seeing that the people who were once far above him in martial arts were unconsciously surpassed by himself so much, Shen Yun was a little in a trance.

At the same time, Tang Ye hurriedly rushed to the incense burner and picked up the yellow rune paper on the top. Seeing that the back was blank, his face was more anxious than disappointed.

"Master Wu, the yellow rune paper doesn't look like it has been passive. There is still no word on the back. He put his hands in front of the middle-aged man.

Shen Yun listened, and said in his heart: It turns out that this surname is Wu.

Back then, he was wronged and locked up in a small dark room all night, but no one even knew what his surname was.

Wu Ye picked it up, and with a hint of luck, he took apart the yellow rune paper.

There is not a word on the entire back.

He grabbed the yellow rune paper into a ball, and between his eyebrows and eyes, a cloud of sorrow shrouded up.

The one-armed Tang Ye said on the side: "Not only ours has not moved, but the others have not either. ”

Wu Ye pinched the yellow paper ball and smiled bitterly: "It seems that the rumors are true." The three heroes of the Gu clan have really retired. ”

"What should I do?" Tang Ye hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Master Wu, it's been five days in a row, and Lord Qi still hasn't heard from him. It can't be delayed any longer. Why don't we go back and ask those immortal officials to help us find someone? They are all masters of the Dao, and they must have more ways than us. ”

Wu Ye shook his head resolutely: "No." Before leaving, the adults told him again and again that if something happened to him, he would never let those people know. ”

"But, just a few of us are looking for ......" Tang Ye was so anxious that he squatted down.

Wu Ye lowered his head, spread out his palms, and looked at the yellow paper ball that was pinched out of shape in a daze, and did not squeak again.

In the temple, there was a sudden silence.

Shen Yun understood. The "Lord Qi" and "Lord Qi" in the mouths of the two of them are the same person, that is, Lord Qi, the superintendent of the Pharmacy Discipline Department.

It should be that this Lord Qi went out to do something recently, and then, disappeared. There was no news for five days. Tang Ye and Wu Ye couldn't find anyone, so they really had no choice, so they had to turn to the three Gu brothers for help.

No, their luck is bad. The three Gu brothers retired and no longer took over.

The only time Shen Yun and Lord Qi Du crossed paths was by the latter. At that time, thanks to the guarantee of Deputy Priest Yong'an, he was only confined for one night. Therefore, he was very indifferent to the disappearance of Lord Qi Du.

In contrast, he was more concerned about the retirement of the three Gu brothers.

No wonder there are so many yellow rune papers pressed under the incense burner, and no one has been dealing with them. It turns out that the ancient predecessors have retired.

In the first half of last year, when the seniors of the ancient university went to Xiandu to deliver a letter to me on behalf of Brother Tianbao, they never heard that the three of them had the intention of washing their hands in a golden basin.

He hid behind the idol and muttered to himself.

And Wu Ye and Tang Ye slowed down and left in a hurry.

After the two of them were done, Shen Yun jumped down from behind the statue and left the City God Temple.

Originally, he came to the temple to write a note to the three Gu brothers to press under the incense burner, saying that after three days, he would go to the Gu family courtyard to worship them. Unexpectedly, the three brothers had already retired, and what were the notes left?

After entering the city, Shen Yun went back to the martial arts hall directly as planned.

In the afternoon, he finally returned to the Medicine Valley.

The grocery store is still there.

Shen Yun walked over. happened to meet Dongzi limping out of the shop with a basin of water.

"Are you...... Sir!" Dongzi was excited, and the small wooden basin in his hand fell.

I saw the basin and water smash straight towards his stump leg.

It's too late, it's too late. Shen Yun wrapped his long arm and reached out to catch it firmly.

Most of the dirty water in the basin was safely left in the basin, and there was no ripple. It's as if the pot was in his hand and has never fallen.

Dongzi's eyes straightened: "It's amazing! Sir, you are studying this time, and your martial arts are greatly advanced." ”

"It's ok. Shen Yun smiled, poured the dirty water into the ditch under the eaves, and returned the empty basin to Dongzi, "You are watching the store alone?
