Lin'an City is very large and prosperous.

After Hu Yun entered the city, he found the address of the Lu family, so he took Lu Ningxiang over. Walk through a few streets and see a magnificent mansion in the distance.

Hu Yun walked over and saw a big "Lu" on the plaque on the door, knowing that this should be the Lu family, he said to Lu Ningxiang beside him: "Ningxiang, you are now home." Later, you will go alone, give the letter and the token in your hand to the gatekeeper, and someone will come to pick you up, and I will leave. ”

Accompanied by this journey, Lu Ningxiang has already regarded Hu Yun as the closest person, even more than the father who has never been masked, and her eyes are red at the moment, and she said, "You ...... Will you come to play with me in the future?"

Hu Yun smiled and said, "Yes, I will look for you in the future." Go for it. As he spoke, he shoved the letter and token into her hand, and pushed her forward.

Lu Ningxiang lowered her head and walked towards the gate, suddenly stopped and turned back and said, "Big brother, I don't know what your name is?" Unexpectedly, there was nothing behind her, Hu Yun had disappeared, she was stunned for a moment, her heart was empty as if she had lost something, and then continued to walk towards the mansion.

Hu Yun had already quietly hid in an alley, watching Lu Ningxiang hand over the letter and token to the Lu family's guards, and then a middle-aged man came out with three or four people and happily took Lu Ningxiang into the courtyard.

Along the way, Hu Yun didn't tell Lu Ningxiang his name, because he was now the one who was being hunted down, and he didn't want to make trouble for himself, nor did he want to make trouble for Lu Ningxiang.

After leaving, Hu Yun found an inn, took a bath, and gave money to buy a set of clean clothes for Xiao Er, dressed neatly, and went out.

At this time, it was already dark, all the shops and pavilions in the city were equipped with lanterns, and there were no fewer pedestrians on the streets.

Five years ago, Hu Yun was ten years old, his father once brought him here, seeing things and thinking about people, remembering that he was still the young master of the Hu family a month ago, and his life was worry-free.

Suddenly, the middle door of the house opened, and a middle-aged fat man in a gorgeous costume walked out. Hu Yun was happy in his heart, the middle-aged fat man was none other than Han Tongshan, and he was about to walk over to recognize him, but he saw two gray-clothed monks walking out behind him.

Since Hui Hai was killed by his father, Hu Yun was particularly alert to the monk, and his heart suddenly became vigilant, and he quickly turned sideways. It just so happened that there was a grocery stall on the side of the road, on which a few items were sparsely arranged, and he picked up a wooden comb and pretended to check it.

Han Tongshan led the gray-clothed monk to the steps outside the door, clasped his hands into fists, and said with a smile: "Two masters, please rest assured, I, Han, am also a person who knows the importance of the matter, and I will never miss a major event for the sake of personal feelings." ”

"Amitabha, so good, the poor monk took his leave. The two gray-clothed monks folded their hands and nodded, then left.

Han Tongshan watched the back of the two monks leaving, the smile on his face gradually converged, his expression became serious, he turned around and went back to close the door, and did not notice Hu Yun.

When Hu Yun heard their conversation, his heart tightened, and he wondered: "Who are these two monks? It can't be the monks of Leiyin Temple, right? What are the big things they are talking about? Could it have something to do with me?" For a while, he was full of thoughts and questions, he decided to go back to the inn first, and think about these questions carefully, anyway, he had already arrived in Lin'an City, and he was not in a hurry to meet Han Tongshan.

When he was about to turn back, he saw the stall owner looking at him with his eyes wide open. Only then did Hu Yun realize that he had been pinching the wooden comb for a long time, so he smiled and said, "How much is this comb?"

"Fifty taels. The stall owner replied, his voice was crisp and good, and there was a bit of playfulness in his eyes.

Hu Yun was stunned for a moment, thinking that this is too expensive, is it blackmailing me? I couldn't help but look at the stall owner carefully, and saw that she was petite and delicate, wrapped in a headscarf, and her face was full of pockmarks.

He thought in his heart: "Listening to this woman's voice, she is not very old, and this appearance is obviously disguised." I didn't expect that this Han family's mansion has become a place of right and wrong now, if I don't buy this comb, maybe there will be some trouble, or fifty taels is fifty taels, get out of here quickly. ”

So he nodded and said, "Okay, I bought the wooden comb." He took out the silver ingots from his bosom, weighed them with his hands, fifty taels and no less, then put the silver on the stall, stuffed the wooden comb into his bosom, and turned away.

The stall owner didn't expect Hu Yun to buy a wooden comb so easily, and couldn't help but be stunned, and saw Hu Yun put the wooden comb into his arms, and watched Hu Yun leave with complicated and stunned eyes, and even forgot to collect the silver.

Hu Yun returned to the inn room, closed the door, and sat on the chair, feeling distraught. He came to Lin'an City to find Han Tongshan, the main purpose was to participate in the Taiqingmen introductory trial through Han Tongshan's relationship, become a disciple of Taiqingmen, and learn Taoist immortal art in the future to avenge his father.

However, judging from what I saw at the door of Han's house just now, Han Tongshan and those monks must have been planning something together, is it related to him?

But even if it is possible, you can't take that risk. However, if he leaves Lin'an City now, how can he go to take the Taiqingmen entrance test? He is already fifteen years old this year, and he has already reached the Taiqingmen entry age, and if he misses this year, the gate of Taiqingmen will be completely closed to him.

Thinking about these problems, tossing and turning, Hu Yun didn't sleep well all night, seeing that there was already a slight white light outside the window, and the next morning, he finally decided that he couldn't just leave, stayed in Lin'an City, and secretly observed Han Tongshan for a while.

At this time, he thought of the stall owner in disguise, and his heart moved, and he thought: "Well, I will also disguise myself as a seller and set up a stall near the house." "I put on my torn clothes, walked out of the store, looked left and right, and saw a stall selling knives in the left corner.

Hu Yun walked over and found that the knives on the stall were really complete, long knives, short knives, daggers, etc., he asked: "How much do these knives cost?" The stall owner saw that Hu Yun was wearing a dirty clothes for a lifetime, and there was still a bad smell on his body, so he snorted coldly: "What's the matter? Xiao Huazi, do you buy knives for wealth or death? Look at your poor and sour appearance, if you buy them all, count you as one or two silver." ”

Hu Yun took out two taels of silver from his arms and threw it to him, saying, "This is two taels, I want all the whole stall." Without saying anything, he wrapped all the knives on the stall, picked them up with a flat pole next to him, and walked towards Han Tongshan's house.

The knife seller had the silver in his hand, and it took him a long time to react and leave happily.

Hu Yun walked around two corners and saw a pile of red clay in the corner, he saw that there was no one around, grabbed a handful of red clay with his hand, wiped it on his face, and thought: "Now, even if you meet the person who sold combs yesterday, you probably won't recognize me." Then I thought that so many knives were only a tael of silver, and yesterday the comb was sold for fifty taels for myself, and I couldn't help but slander the man's black heart.

After walking for a short time, I arrived near the Han family's house. It was a residential area, and there were many vendors next to it, so Hu Yun walked to a remote place and put the knife on the ground. You looked around, but she didn't find that the woman who bought the comb yesterday felt a lot more relaxed. Otherwise, she found out that she spent fifty taels to buy a comb yesterday, and today she wore rags and sold knives, how could she not be suspected?

Hu Yun chose a very remote location, sat for a day, and did not sell a knife, and he was also happy. On this day, the gate of the Han family was closed, and no one came in or out except for one or two people who came out to buy items.

Seeing that it was getting late, the surrounding vendors had left, and it would be very abrupt to stay at this time. Hu Yun put away the stall and didn't go back to the inn, just found a deserted house to sleep in for one night, and went over to set up a stall the next day, but the situation was the same as yesterday.

On the third day, it was still the same during the day, and in the evening, Hu Yun stared at the gate of the Han family, calculating the day in his heart, and it was not far from the day when the Taiqing Gate accepted the disciples, so he decided to sneak into the Han house tonight to explore the situation.
