When the guy in Tsing Yi saw the token, his face showed a slight shock, but he disappeared in an instant, and said casually:

"Your brand looks good, but you have to go through the shopkeeper's eyes to determine the value. ”

"Take it. Liu Ming waved his hand with a flash of his eyes.

After the guy in Tsing Yi glanced at Liu Ming deeply, he trotted to the inner courtyard of the store with the sign in both hands.

It didn't take long for the guy in Tsing Yi to run out again, and he handed the token back to Liu Ming with a respectful expression, and then saluted:

"Guest, shopkeeper, please come in. ”

Liu Ming withdrew the token from his waist without moving, got up and waved to Sha Chu'er, and then motioned to the man in Tsing Yi to lead the way.

After a short time, the man in Tsing Yi led the two into the inner courtyard and came to the innermost room.

In the room, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper stood in it, his eyes fell on Liu Ming, and then he looked at Sha Chu'er who was standing aside, and his eyes showed the meaning of inquiry.

"It's okay, although this is not a disciple of this sect, he is a good friend of mine. Liu Ming said lightly.

The middle-aged man bowed respectfully and said:

"Qin Wu, a disciple of the Taiqing Sect's foreign affairs, has seen Senior Brother Liu. ”

Sha Chu'er took off the cloak from her head, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

The shop here is a secret contact base of Taiqingmen in Nanming City!

As one of the four great Taizong of the human race, Taiqingmen has existed in the Zhongtian Continent for many years, and has set up many light and dark strongholds in various places in the Zhongtian Continent to collect and transmit information from all over the world.

Occasionally, there will be disciples like Liu Ming who come here by chance and come here to ask for help or ask for some news.

As far as Liu Ming knows. The mortal city near Xuanmeng Mountain, among the various markets. There are no less than a dozen strongholds like this. Even if some of them have been exposed, the Ouyang family will pretend not to know.

After all, something like that. The major sect families will do it, and the Ouyang family also has a stronghold of a similar nature near Wanling Mountain, and the major forces know it and will not take the initiative to expose it.

Now that he wanted to investigate the affairs of the Ouyang family, Liu Ming naturally thought of this.

"Senior brother came here this time, I don't know how the junior brother can serve one or two?" asked the middle-aged man with a whole face after making a salute.

"I want to inquire about all the news about a person named Ouyang Ming in the Ouyang family. Liu Ming asked straight to the point.

"Ouyang Ming!"

The man was slightly shocked when he heard this, and glanced at Liu Ming in surprise. He continued to speak: "I didn't expect Senior Brother Liu to know about this person, but it was a little unexpected to me. ”

Liu Ming was silent when he heard this, but a little excitement appeared on Sha Chu'er's face.

"Go outside and keep watch first. The middle-aged man showed a solemn look on his face, and waved his hand at the young man in Tsing Yi who was waiting on the side and said.

The man in Tsing Yi understood, and after bowing to the middle-aged man and Liu Ming, he retreated and closed the door lightly.

The middle-aged man walked to a cabinet on the side of the room, rummaged in it for a while, and then took out an account book.

"Ouyang Ming. The twenty-eighth generation of disciples of the Ouyang family, with earth spirit roots, outstanding talents, advanced to the condensation realm at the age of sixteen. At the age of thirty-three, he advanced to crystallization, and at the age of thirty-seven, he entered the Lin Ying Pavilion in the clan and became a core disciple. Before he was a hundred years old, he condensed the True Pill, and not much news was collected after that. It was as if the man had vanished. Forty years ago, however, he reappeared. And the entire Ouyang family seems to have had a great riot around this person, and since then, there has been no news of this person, and his life and death are still unknown. The middle-aged man turned to one of the pages and read slowly.

After reading it, the middle-aged man handed the book to Liu Ming again.

The first line of the book is written in thick ink with three big characters of Ouyang Ming, and many records about Ouyang Ming are recorded in small characters below.

Liu Ming looked at it carefully for a while, most of the records on it were some of his life experiences before he achieved the True Dan, but he didn't see anything related to the Southern Wasteland, and finally wrote the words "life and death" in a red pen.

Liu Ming slowly put down the book, glanced at Sha Chu'er, and asked:

"Forty years ago, was it?"

"As Brother Liu guessed, my father was indeed the one who left more than forty years ago. Sha Chu'er bit Sakura's lip lightly, and the voice replied.

Liu Ming nodded secretly in his heart, it seems that after Ouyang Ming left the Strange Desert, he had returned to the Xuanmeng Mountain Range, and he had a conflict with the Ouyang family for some unknown reason. In addition, although the life and death of this person are recorded in this book, in Liu Ming's opinion, this Ouyang Ming's disappearance is absolutely inseparable from the Ouyang family, and it is even possible that he has been killed or imprisoned by the Ouyang family.

"This news alone is not enough, I need to know more specific information, it would be better if I could know the whereabouts of this person......" Liu Ming put down the book, and said calmly to the middle-aged man.

"That's all we have for this person's records here, if Senior Brother wants more information, I'm afraid it will take some time, and it will take some special ...... in between," the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before he hesitated.

"That's enough, I just need to find out what I can about this person. Liu Ming turned over his hand and took out a heavy cloth bag, threw it over, and said lightly.

The middle-aged man reached out and took the cloth bag, opened it and glanced at it, his face suddenly showed a hint of joy, and he nodded again and again:

"Please rest assured, Senior Brother Liu, it will only take three days at most. ”

Liu Ming smiled slightly when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

Next, he didn't stay here for a long time, so naturally he didn't have to worry about the middle-aged man receiving the spirit stone and not doing anything in this regard, when he and Sha Chuer left the pawn shop.

"Sand girl, this shop is a stronghold of my Taiqing Gate, although it is not too secretive, but if it is not necessary, it is better not to leak it to others. After leaving the pawnshop, Liu Ming walked towards the east of the city and said slowly.

"Brother Liu, don't worry. Although the little woman is shallow, she still acts in a measured manner. Naturally, he will not do such a thing as repaying virtue with grievances. A hint of gratitude flashed in Sha Chu'er's beautiful eyes, and she said very seriously.

Liu Ming laughed twice. If he hadn't had some understanding of Sha Chu'er's character, he wouldn't have rushed to bring this girl here.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at an inn in the east of the city, and entered two upper rooms respectively.

Ye Hao was obediently staying in Liu Ming's room, still reciting the mantra that Liu Ming handed him silently.

There was nothing for three days, and at noon on the fourth day, Liu Ming and Sha Chuer set off again and came to the pawn shop.

"Two guest officers, please. When the man in Tsing Yi saw the two, his eyes lit up, and he pretended to be casual and led them into the backyard. The middle-aged Qin Wu was already waiting there at this moment.

"Brother Qin, how is the investigation?" Liu Ming asked lightly.

"There are some gains, but not much progress. Qin Wu sighed and said frankly while inviting the two into the secret room.

"Oh? Liu Ming asked.

"In some secret methods in Xiatong Guò, I didn't get much relevant information, and I didn't find Ouyang Ming's whereabouts, but I found a hermitage where he used to be very close to his clan brother, and I might be able to find out other information about Ouyang Ming. Qin Wu raised his hand and handed a piece of jade slip to Liu Ming. And said 1510.

"Oh, that's how it turned out. Liu Ming took the jade slip with one hand, and his brows furrowed.

When Sha Chu'er on the side heard this, the hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists. There was a look of excitement in his eyes.

Liu Ming saw Sha Chu'er's expression in his eyes, sighed secretly, and then put the jade slip on his forehead. Sure enough, it recorded some information about Ouyang Ming before his disappearance, and the exact address of his clan brother who is now living in seclusion.

......

Half a day later. More than 100 miles away from the Xuanmeng Mountain Range, in a hidden valley, two rays of light, one black and one yellow, fell.

After the light flashed. The figures of Liu Ming and Sha Chu'er appeared.

"Is this the place?" Sha Chu'er said as she stood outside the valley and looked at it for a moment, then a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

The valley is just a thriving wilderness, and there is no sign of any house building.

"This is an illusion, but it is quite cleverly arranged, and it can hide the fluctuation of mana, it seems that the monks who live here should be proficient in this way. The black light in Liu Ming's eyes was faint, and after a slight groan, he flicked his fingers, and a fireball the size of a human head shot out.

There was a ripple in the air deep in the valley, and the fireball was swallowed up with a "pop".

As the valley rippled, everything shook like a stone had been thrown on the calm water.

"Brother Liu is really good eyesight!" Sha Chu'er saw this, and a hint of admiration flashed in her bright eyes.

"The sand girl has lived in the desert for a long time, and she usually encounters some sand beasts, so she doesn't see much about the illusion ban, and it's not surprising that she can't find it. Liu Ming waved his hand and smiled softly.

At this moment, before the fluctuations in the valley had dissipated, a faint blue light appeared, one of the corners was torn apart, and in a flash, a young man in a pale yellow robe flew out.

"Who are you who dare to trespass on my Purple Xuan Mountain Villa!"

Liu Ming's eyes moved, the yellow-robed young man in front of him only had the cultivation of the late stage of condensation, and he didn't show the slightest timidity in the face of the two crystallization monks, and immediately said loudly:

"This fellow Daoist, the two of us don't mean to be offended, but we have something to ask to see Ouyang Kui's senior, and please report it on our behalf. ”

"Well, how do you know that your father is living in seclusion here?" the yellow-robed young man was shocked when he heard this, and his face changed and he shouted.

Liu Ming frowned, and was thinking about how to speak more tactfully, when a slightly old voice suddenly came from the valley.

"Idler, don't be rude!"

As soon as the words fell, the blue light in the valley swayed, revealing the shape of a door, and an old man in a yellow robe flew out of it. (To be continued......)
