Chapter 51: Return to Xiliang City
After the three of them arrived at the Star Picking Pavilion, they learned that most of the sects that participated in the martial arts competition had already left the Star Picking Pavilion and returned to their own sects.
The reason for this is that the tournament ended yesterday.
And the remaining sects that haven't left are because they are waiting for the Star Picking Pavilion to issue rewards. Those who rank high in the competition will be rewarded for their rewards.
Lingyun Gate and Chaosheng Pavilion are both among the top famous sects in the Xuanmen world, and the strength of their disciples is undoubted, and they have performed well in the martial arts competition.
Therefore, it is not surprising that both sects are still staying in their respective residences and still staying in the Star Picking Pavilion.
Ye Changqing and the three of them went to Yanyu Building and Zhuqing Building successively. Yanyu Building is the residence where Zhu Yingyu of Chaosheng Pavilion is located, and Zhuqing Building is the residence of Liang Yuan and others in Lingyunmen.
However, because they had something to do, the three of them did not stop much after meeting Zhu Yingyu, Liang Yuan and others, but after saying hello and saying goodbye, the three of them left directly, and then left the Star Picking Pavilion.
......
It's night, and the moon and stars are scarce.
On the streets of West Liangcheng.
A little girl walking down the street accompanied by her parents was looking around curiously. Inadvertently, she looked up at the sky, and it happened that a meteor passed quickly in the sky above Xiliang City, and she happened to see it.
In the little girl's line of sight, she saw that the meteor was dragging a long tail, and then from east to west, and ββ! flew over at once.
The meteor actually doesn't have a tail, but because the meteor is so fast, visually, the little girl mistakes the trajectory of the meteor's movement for its tail. But this doesn't matter, at the age of a little girl, there needs to be a beautiful fantasy space.
The little girl wanted her parents to look up at the meteor as well, but the meteor was so fast that there was no shadow in a flash, so the little girl had to give up.
The little girl's parents didn't read minds, so they didn't know what their daughter was thinking at this time. They saw a stall selling knick-knacks in front of them, so they led the little girl towards the stall. Today is their daughter's birthday, and the two plan to buy a knick-knack for their daughter and give it to her as a birthday gift.
When the family of three walked towards the stall, three figures happened to pass in front of the family of three.
Although it was night at this time, with the help of the lights on the street, the figures of the three people could still be seen clearly.
I saw these three people, one was a slender young man in a black robe. One was a slim young woman in a long emerald green dress, with bright eyes and bright teeth.
The other is a girl in a long white dress, who looks elf and cute, and looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.
These three people were none other than Ye Changqing, Su Yan and Dong Ling, who came out of the Star Picking Pavilion and then went straight to Xiliang City.
The three of them had just entered the city. After passing shoulders with the little girl's family of three, the three of them walked deeper into the city.
......
This is the first time Dong Ling has come to Xiliang City, and he is quite curious. So she walked and looked around her.
After looking at it for a while, she turned around and asked Ye Changqing and Su Yan, who were a few steps behind her, "Where are we going now?"
"Go north of the city. After hearing Dong Ling's question, Ye Changqing, who was walking side by side with Su Yan in the back, replied: "There is an inn in the north of the city, and the tea there is good, let's go there." "The three of them came in from the east gate of Xiliang City, and now they are in the east of the city.
After a while, the three of them came from the east of the city to the north of the city, and then came to the door of the inn that Ye Changqing said.
Su Yan is no stranger to this inn in front of her, Ye Changqing brought her here before, there were three people at the time, and one was Master Hui'an of King Kong Temple. That's right, the inn in front of the three of them is the Yuelai Inn.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door of the inn, the junior who knew Ye Changqing immediately discovered Ye Changqing and the others, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
The three of them entered the inn, and under the greeting of Xiao Er, they came to an empty table with no guests and sat down.
After the three of them sat down, they ordered the same as beforeβa good pot of tea. Other than that, it's three rooms.
The three of them gathered around the table, teacups in hand, and began to discuss their next plan of action.
Ye Changqing said: "Tomorrow we will go to the City Lord's Mansion first. β
"Going to the City Lord's Mansion?" Dong Ling was puzzled, "Aren't we going to the ancient tomb?"
"That's right, it's going to the ancient tomb. But we don't know exactly where the tomb is. Ye Changqing explained: "Yan and I only know that the ancient tomb is eighty miles away from the east of the city. But it's so big eighty miles away, it's not easy to find, and it's ......"
Subsequently, Ye Changqing roughly stated to Dong Ling what happened in the east of the city at that time.
Ye Changqing said: "At that time, it was a head catcher surnamed Zhang who took He Wensheng away, and he brought people to the City Lord's Mansion. I think he should know the exact location of the tomb. "He Wensheng is the tomb robber who discovered the ancient tomb.
Ye Changqing said: "We went to the City Lord's Mansion to find that Zhang Zhutou. One is that we need to ask him to do us a favor and ask him to take us to the tomb, and the other is that we need to ask him about the rest of the matter and see what happened after we left. Because we want to check whether Brother Gu's words are true. ...... How's that, do you understand?"
"Understood. After Ye Changqing's statement and explanation, Dong Ling finally figured out the cause and effect of the whole thing, so she nodded and said.
Seeing that Dong Ling understood, Ye Changqing didn't say more. Because they had been traveling for many days in a row, the three of them drank the tea in their cups and then went upstairs to rest.
......
The city lord's mansion of Xiliang City is located in the most central location of Xiliang City.
The City Lord's Mansion is not difficult to find, and when you arrive at the city center, as long as you look at which building is the tallest and largest, then that building must be the City Lord's Mansion.
Ye Changqing and the three of them came to the door of the City Lord's Mansion and saw that there were several guards guarding the door, so Ye Changqing took two steps forward, and then bowed to one of the guards and explained his intention to the guard.
As a monk in the Yudan period, Ye Changqing's temperament must be different from that of ordinary people. And these guards look at people every day, and they have already trained a pair of fiery eyes.
Therefore, after learning of Ye Changqing's intention, the guard didn't say a word, and immediately went in to report.
The guards didn't let Ye Changqing wait longer, and he came out of it after a while. After coming out, he bowed to Ye Changqing and said, "City Lord, please." β
Ye Changqing bowed his hand and replied: "It's hard work." β
So the three of them, led by this guard, crossed the gate and entered the city lord's mansion.
