Chapter 675: A Strange Phenomenon Appears in the City
After more than half an hour, Chen Luoxue and Xu Chenglin walked out of the teahouse. The information they need to know is almost as far as they can now. However, they did not stop there, but walked towards the restaurant together.
Who likes to go to the teahouse the most, not the three religions and nine streams, but those literati who think they have some identity or recognize themselves as high. The information from them is at best partial, and it also carries some of their subjective opinions, so the information obtained in this way is inaccurate. If you want to get accurate information, you must consider all aspects comprehensively.
Most of the people in the restaurant are some locals or some people who have extra money, while the people in the inn are mostly people who are doing business here or passing by here all year round. The information from their mouths can just make up for the shortcomings of the former.
When the two of them walked through the two places, it was already nearly two hours passed. It's not that they don't want to go faster, it's that it's not easy to find out in these two places. Whether it is a restaurant or an inn, the people who live there are not very easy to communicate. After all, if they are two strangers and want to inquire about things from other people's mouths, they also have to think about it.
"After inquiring for a long time, there are only three pieces of news to sum up. First, Yuanhai City is still controlled by various forces, but the biggest force is still the Xu family, and the Xu family seems to be benevolent on the surface; second, the plague is true, but it is not serious, and it is true that Yuanhai City is not affected by the plague; third, there have been recent rumors in the city that someone has disappeared inexplicably. ”
While walking, Xu Chenglin analyzed the information he had heard.
"That's probably it, but what makes me curious is that the Scattered Cultivation Alliance has also established a branch here. ”
Chen Luoxue nodded lightly, and at the same time said her doubts.
"Hehe, if you don't say it, I want to say it. ”
Xu Chenglin smiled and replied to Chen Luoxue. Then he seemed to be caught up in his memory, and it took a few breaths before he spoke slowly.
"Time flies really fast, I think the first time I came to Yuanhai City, I accidentally lived in an inn opened by the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. At that time, I only thought that the inn was opened by a group of loose cultivators, but I didn't expect them to be people from the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. But think about it, if it weren't for the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, they wouldn't have the ability to get a piece of the pie in Yuanhai City. ”
Xu Chenglin said vaguely, but Chen Luoxue knew what was going on. Regarding the experience between Xu Chenglin and Yuan Haicheng, she heard from the other party.
"Those two people from Jiuhua Academy are hard for us to find now, what should we do next?"
Chen Luoxue walked unhurriedly and asked Xu Chenglin this question in a low voice.
Hearing this question, Xu Chenglin shook his head and said.
"I actually wanted to ask someone from the local Jiuhua Academy or the Scattered Cultivation Alliance for help just now, but after careful consideration, this is not appropriate. Once we meet them, our identities are revealed. When the time comes, it will be convenient, but it will be troublesome for us to investigate the identity exposure. After all, it is not impossible to have such a thing as a mole. Now let's take a walk around the city and get acquainted with it. ”
Chen Luoxue smiled slightly, and immediately refuted Xu Chenglin.
"It's not impossible to see where it is, didn't those two just pass in front of us. ”
"Haha!
Xu Chenglin reacted and responded with a smile.
The two of them were talking and laughing while wandering aimlessly around Yuanhai City. Just walking, Chen Luoxue suddenly felt something unspeakably awkward. Xu Chenglin felt the same, but he couldn't find anything awkward.
To say, most women are inferior to men compared to fighting, but most men are inferior to women compared to being careful. After Chen Luoxue's observation, she finally found out where she felt awkward.
Looking up at the sky, Chen Luoxue felt a burst of inexplicability.
"The people of this Yuanhai City are very strange, why is everyone holding an umbrella in their hands on this sunny day?"
Chen Luoxue's mention, Xu Chenglin suddenly found something awkward. He slapped his palms in a sudden realization, and immediately said.
Whether it is a pedestrian on the street, or just a person in a teahouse, restaurant, or inn, I have seen a lot of umbrellas placed inside. I didn't pay attention at the time, but it's a bit strange that you said. ”
"You've been to Yuanhai City before, aren't the people in the city like this?"
Hearing Xu Chenglin's words, Chen Luoxue immediately noticed the strangeness.
"Why, if this had been the case, I would have told you such a strange thing. ”
Xu Chenglin shook his head and showed curiosity.
was curious about the fact that Yuan Haicheng had an umbrella, so Xu Chenglin casually stopped a pedestrian for questioning. And the answer he got was because there has been frequent rainfall in the past year, and bringing an umbrella is just a precaution.
Knowing that this was the reason, Xu Chenglin couldn't help but ask a few more words. After learning that the so-called frequent rain is that it will rain at any time of the day, his face couldn't help but become a little solemn. He couldn't help but think about it, Yuanhai City was not too far from the sea. The rain in this place is abnormal, and it must be inseparable from the sea.
Just as he was about to ask more, raindrops fell from the sky. As soon as the raindrops fell, the pedestrians who were stopped for questioning immediately sighed. Then, under Xu Chenglin's puzzled gaze, the pedestrian held up the umbrella and began to run. He wasn't the only one. The same is true for the rest of the pedestrian vendors on the street. Only Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue were indifferent, or the two of them were incompatible. Passers-by all cast foolish glances at them.
Xu Chenglin was a little speechless, he looked up at the sky, and didn't know what to say for a while. There are just a few raindrops falling in the air, and even the ground can't get wet, so you say that people run away with umbrellas in a panic. That look at the fool's gaze has a few meanings. However, the next moment, he knew what it meant.
Just when he was wondering, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing water. Just as he was wondering where the sound of the water came from, suddenly a heavy rain poured down. In an instant, Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue were directly poured into soup chickens. The two of them were a little caught off guard, they didn't expect the rain to come so suddenly and so heavily.
Pedestrians ran with umbrellas, and Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue were drenched in the rain. If it's a drizzle, it seems quite meaningful. It's just that now it's pouring rain, and the two of them just look stupid.
"It's raining, it's splashing water in the sky!"
wiped his face, Xu Chenglin could only complain helplessly.
"Don't talk about it, let's find a place to hide. ”
Wiping a handful of rain from her eyes, Chen Luoxue said with some complaints.
Xu Chenglin felt a little wronged, obviously he didn't do anything, how could he still complain about him. But after thinking about it for a while, he was also relieved. It was just the two of them who were drenched, Chen Luoxue didn't complain about him, could he still praise him. What are you praising him, do you want to praise him for being so good, and we will get drenched as soon as we come out? It's impossible to think about it!
"Let's go hide in the teahouse!"
As he spoke, Xu Chenglin pulled Chen Luoxue towards the restaurant. It's just that when he inadvertently turned around and saw Chen Luoxue's appearance, he suddenly couldn't help but stop laughing.
"Hahaha!
"Hurry up, are you sick, are you smiling in the rain?"
Seeing Xu Chenglin laughing for no reason, Chen Luoxue couldn't help shouting at him.
After saying this, Xu Chenglin continued to move forward. But he said with a smile as he walked.
"I think that the two of us Qi Condensing Cultivators will have such a day, and we will be drenched directly into soup chicken in a daze!"
Hearing this, Chen Luoxue couldn't help but get angry. She couldn't help it, and kicked Xu Chenglin's ass in a fit of anger.
Caught off guard, Xu Chenglin was kicked and staggered forward. When Chen Luoxue saw this scene, she couldn't help but point at him and laughed.
Xu Chenglin was angry and funny, he turned his head and wanted to reason with Chen Luoxue. But after this turn, he couldn't help frowning.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Chen Luoxue frowning and reaching out to catch the rain, Xu Chenglin immediately felt that something was wrong with the situation.
Chen Luoxue didn't answer, didn't answer immediately, but made a silent gesture. Then she brought the rain in her palm to her eyes, and stretched out her other hand to block the rain in front of her. When Xu Chenglin saw this, he knew that Chen Luoxue had made a discovery. In order to prevent the rain from hitting Chen Luoxue's eyes, Xu Chenglin simply dodged in front of her.
The two of them arrived in Yuanhai City, one for the mission, and the other for tracking down the two Jiuhua Academy monks. Therefore, when they entered Yuanhai City, they chose to hide their breath and pretend to be mortals. Now that everyone is watching, it is inconvenient for the two to use spiritual power, so the two of them have this encounter.
Feeling that it was dark in front of him, and the rain on his face was a lot less, Chen Luoxue knew that it was Xu Chenglin who was blocking him. She looked up at Xu Chenglin and smiled, and whispered.
"Fool, hurry up and find a place where no one is, I've found something. ”
The pouring rain interfered with Xu Chenglin's hearing, but seeing Chen Luoxue's smile, he asked tentatively.
"Okay?"
"Alright, hurry up and find a place where no one is, I've found something. ”
Chen Luoxue was helpless, smiled and raised her voice and said again.
"Good!"
In response, Xu Chenglin glanced around, pulled Chen Luoxue and ran towards the restaurant.
The two of them were embarrassed by the heavy rain, and this one ran into the restaurant, which immediately attracted the attention of the restaurant guys. How could Xu Chenglin have the time to talk more with his buddy, he threw down the money and asked for a separate private room, and then dragged Chen Luoxue away. The man wanted to ask the two of them what they wanted, but when they saw that they were leaving in a hurry, they didn't say much.
Entering the private room, Xu Chenglin closed the door casually. As soon as you raise your hand, a soundproof ban is laid down. Chen Luoxue saw that Xu Chenglin had finished arranging, so she nodded slowly.
"Do you think that this rain is strange? ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, Chen Luoxue asked Xu Chenglin this question.
"It's weird, indeed. ”
Xu Chenglin didn't even think about it, he just answered directly.
Isn't it weird, this rain Xu Chenglin always thinks that it has something to do with the sea swallowing the land. It's an unsolved mystery, and the rain isn't going to be weird.
Chen Luoxue didn't know what Xu Chenglin thought, she shook her head slightly, and said with a smile.
"It's not what you think, I mean the rain seems to be the work of the monks. ”
Xu Chenglin didn't care at first, just nodded slightly, but after reacting, his brows furrowed.
