05 Get to the bottom of it
Xie Yixiang, as the daughter of the general Xie Fengxuan, relied on the friendship between her father and Mr. Qingtian, she naturally saw this Mr. Qingtian when she was a child. But now that I think about it, the image of Mr. Qingtian in my memory has been a little blurred, and I can't even remember his appearance, I can only vaguely feel that it is an elderly thin man, with an indescribable detached temperament flowing around him, but in his gestures, he faintly reveals an awe-inspiring righteousness.
Now that De Yizi insists that the matter here is related to this Mr. Qingtian, and he wants to leave Ningyi City and go to Qingtian County in the southeast, although Xie Yixiang is still a little incredulous, he can't resist the strong curiosity in his heart. Since she had already decided to go with her son, she had to negotiate with Lord Fang and General Yang before leaving, telling them to hold on to the city and beware of the Hengwang rebels outside the south gate. Due to the repeated instructions of De Yizi not to return the Taishou Sword Seal, Xie Yixiang had no choice but to be cheeky and mediate with Lord Fang, and hurriedly said goodbye to him.
As for the green forest bandits brought by De Yizi this time, De Yizi didn't seem to care, and he didn't even explain anything to the four green forest masters. Xie Yixiang knew that there was an extremely mysterious gray-clothed master among these green forest bandits, and his identity and status were faintly above the four green forest masters.
As for the identity of the gray-clothed master, Xie Yixiang still hasn't figured it out and is still a little confused. I remember that when the demonic wind outside the south gate rose that day, I seemed to have lifted the man's mask and saw his true face. But in hindsight, my mind was blank, and I had no memory of this experience at all. Fortunately, she encountered too many strange things in Ningyi City this time, and gradually she thought about it and didn't take it to heart.
Then Xie Yixiang quietly left Ningyi City with his son, and did not dare to bring more others, taking advantage of the early morning to go to the southeast to bypass the rebel camp in the south, and go straight to Qingtian County, which is one hundred and twenty miles away. I don't know if it's because I've got a son who is not good at riding, and he refuses to ride a horse to say anything, Xie Yixiang can't help him, and finally has to find a carriage, and call Yizi to rest in the carriage, and he sits in front of the car and drives the horse.
Now that the rebels besieging Ningyi City have retreated, the official roads in all directions have also been unblocked, and traders and people can be seen coming and going to Ningyi City from time to time along the way. The two of them had nothing to do all the way, and before noon, they had traveled more than 120 miles and came to Qingtian County on the border of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Because this area still belongs to the Kuocang Mountains extended from Xianxia Mountain and Donggong Mountain, there is a saying that "nine mountains are half water and half fields" since ancient times. Therefore, the entire county town is similar to Ningyi City, and it is also located in the mountains. As soon as the two entered the city, there were a variety of Qingtian stone carvings on both sides of the street, as the son said before, with the world's famous Qingtian stone, Qingtian County has gradually become the world's famous stone capital.
You must know that since the beginning of the year, the rebels of King Heng withdrew from the territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the coastal pirates have become more and more rampant, which has made the entire land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang panic. But Xie Yixiang looked at it, but this Qingtian County was a lively scene, without the slightest panic in wartime, but like an isolated paradise. In this way, she believes more and more that the people here can live and work in peace and contentment, I am afraid that it is because of Mr. Qingtian such a strange person in the world, maybe there is a descendant of Mr. Qingtian or Mr. Qingtian himself is secretly guarding, so that the people here can live and work in peace and contentment, and sit back and relax.
However, in such a large county town, coupled with the surrounding countryside and mountains, where should we go to find the person who sent this seal in the name of Mr. Qingtian? Xie Yixiang wanted to follow the usual style, go to the county yamen to reveal his identity, and ask the local officials to help him find out. Who knew that the one in the carriage sneered, and said lightly: "Whether the other party is Mr. Qingtian himself or not, when you encounter such an opponent, it is boring to be smart, and even to kill yourself." Now that the other party has left us a clear clue, we just need to follow their arrangement, so why bother making extraneous branches?"
Xie Yixiang thought about it, so he inquired about the "Yingchun Tang" pharmacy mentioned by the vegetable farmer in the city, and then walked through several streets one after another, and sure enough, he found such a pharmacy. She pulled up the carriage at the door of the drugstore, and got out of it slowly, wearing his wide white cloak and even his head, which drew strange glances from passers-by. Xie Yixiang knew that inside the cloak of De Yizi, it must be his strange black robe, which showed that Yizi's trip seemed to be careless, but in fact he attached great importance to it, so he had already prepared his outfit and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
At that moment, the two of them cautiously stepped into this pharmacy, and immediately saw the pharmacy shopkeeper behind the counter, but it was a middle-aged man with a mustache, and his face was full of businessman shrewdness. Xie Yixiang didn't open her mouth when she saw it, and she didn't even glance at the shopkeeper out of the corner of her eyes, and she didn't dare to open her mouth indiscriminately, so she took out the Qingtian stone seal engraved with "Yang Liu Yiyi". The shopkeeper suddenly looked solemn, and then smiled: "It turns out that the distinguished guests are coming, but the villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai." I also asked the two distinguished guests to deign to move and eat some light meals. With that, he pushed the back door of the pharmacy open and motioned for the two of them to follow him.
Xie Yixiang hurriedly glanced at De Yizi beside him, asking him what he should do, but who knew that Yizi still ignored it, just walked forward and followed the shopkeeper through the back door of the pharmacy. Xie Yixiang had to follow quickly, and the three of them walked all the way to the backyard of the pharmacy, and there was indeed a table of food in the courtyard, which was obviously specially prepared for the two of them.
Xie Yixiang was secretly shocked in her heart, it was just after noon, and it was time to have lunch, and she was already a little hungry. However, the shopkeeper of this pharmacy prepared meals in advance in the backyard, which shows that his trip to Deyizi today was clearly expected by the other party. But he didn't care about this, and sat straight at the table, Xie Yixiang had to sit down, only to find that the dishes on the table were all vegetarian dishes, but it was conceivable that the other party even felt the taste of himself and his son, and his heart was even more shocked.
The shopkeeper didn't sit down, just casually said a few polite words, and then went back to the pharmacy to be busy. Xie Yixiang saw that Yizi was just immersed in eating, and he was not worried that these meals would be tampered with, and he couldn't help but say to himself: "This little Taoist priest's mind is a hundred times better than mine, since I have him with me, why should I be afraid? Besides, my father had a great friendship with Mr. Qingtian back then, so he would not poison Xie Fengxuan's daughter." "Immediately raise chopsticks to pick up the food.
In this way, it was not until the two of them finished lunch that the shopkeeper of the pharmacy came again, and said with a smile: "The two distinguished guests came this time, naturally because of this seal in the girl's hand." It's just that although this seal was once in the hands of a villain, the villain was also entrusted by others, and I really don't know the details. So if the two of them want to find the origin of this seal, they have to go again and ask the old man Liu who killed the pig on the outskirts of the city. After that, he informed the two of them of the so-called Liu Laohan's residence, and elaborated on the route to go.
Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned, remembering that the vegetable farmer who sent the seal had mentioned it at the time, saying that the shopkeeper of the pharmacy who entrusted him to send the seal was also entrusted by an old man who killed pigs, but he didn't know who the old man who killed pigs was. At this time, when he heard the address of the old man who killed the pig given by the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, he immediately turned around and left, without saying a word from beginning to end. Although Xie Yixiang had all kinds of questions, but when she saw her acting like this, and seeing the shrewdness of the shopkeeper's face, she had no choice but to say goodbye to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.
Then the two of them drove the carriage again, drove all the way out of Qingtian County, and came to a village on the outskirts of the south according to the address given by the pharmacy shopkeeper, and sure enough, they found the old man Liu who killed the pig. After greeting each other, the old man Liu said: "I was also entrusted by someone to find someone to send this seal to the person in charge of Ningyi City, and I don't know anything else." As for the person who asked me to send this seal, it was Li Baimian who sold steamed buns on the mountain behind, and he was alone on the mountain taking care of more than a dozen acres of wheat fields. Because he always likes to ask me for some pigs to go into the water on weekdays, that's why he has this friendship. If you want to find the person who sent the seal, then you have to go up the mountain and ask this Li Baimian. ”
Then Xie Yixiang and De Yizi began a series of searches, and successively found Li Baimian who sold steamed buns, Xu Wazi who hunted, mute woodcutter who chopped wood and Xu Jushi who collected medicine. In this way, at dusk, according to the guidance of Xu Jushi, who was collecting medicine, the two of them turned over two more peaks, and a Buddhist nunnery appeared in front of them, and the plaque in front of the door was engraved with three old big characters of "Huimeng Nunnery".
