Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Thief
It was not completely dark, and everyone had eaten dinner, and the shopkeeper had already instructed Xiao Er to arrange a room for everyone. Originally, it was planned that six people would each have a room, but for some reason there have been more people staying in the hotel recently, so under the continuous laughter of the shopkeeper Wang, Liu Zifeng and the others lived in three rooms.
Chen Yucai and Shimen Hu lived in the same room, Liu Zifeng and Fortune Fortune together, and Zhou Yuru and Song Xitong lived in the last room. When they parted in front of the house, Chen Yucai blushed slightly, and told again: "If everyone is tired, go back to the house to rest, and if you are still in spirit, you can also walk around the town." Qixia Town is different from Luoxia Town, where there are people from the three religions and nine streams, good and evil, dragons and snakes are mixed, you must be cautious when you go out, act in a low-key manner, put forbearance first in everything, and don't have disputes with others. ”
After speaking, he took out a few cylindrical things from his arms, divided them among everyone, and said: "These are the signal tubes that are commonly used in the sect to send signals, if there is an emergency, you only need to inject true qi into it, and the signal canister will release a signal, and everyone will know at that time." ”
A few people put away the signal canister, Chen Yu drank a lot of wine, and it was not the first time he came to Qixia Town, so after greeting everyone, he went back to the room to rest. Zhou Yuru and Song Xitong, two girls, rushed for most of the day, and they had to go back to the room to freshen up. Liu Zifeng and Fortune Diviner saw that everyone was separated, so they went back to the house first.
Although the two of them live together, this room is twice as big as Liu Zifeng's room in Luoyue Peak, the entrance is a spacious hall, with tables, chairs, and coffee tables, and the inner right hand side is the bedroom.
Liu Zifeng also lay on the bed, rested for a while, and remembered that Xiaobai and Heiyan were still with Song Xitong, and he didn't feel a little puzzled. I don't know what attracted Song Xitong to the two guys, since he came out of Luoxia Sect, he has never entangled Liu Zifeng, but has followed Song Xitong obediently from beginning to end. Suddenly, a small bottle fell out of his arms, and Liu Zifeng looked at it and found that he had obtained the "Spirit Beast Essence" from the Luobao Palace.
"These two unconscionable guys, don't give them ...... for the time being"
Suddenly there was a feeling that the child he had worked so hard to raise was abducted, Liu Zifeng suddenly felt a little angry, and thought so in his mind.
Turning over, he carefully pondered the matter of Linghe Mountain again. This trial is secondary to him, the main thing is to find the fragment of "Earth Ghost Technique", the realm has been stagnant for a long time, and if it continues like this, it will only grow with his expectations. What's more, the little sister Yue Zixuan's "natural soul body", Liu Zifeng swore that she was boasting about Haikou, so she naturally had to pay more than 12 points of effort.
In addition, the corner of his eye glanced at the fortune teller, and seeing that his eyes were closed and seemed to be napping, Liu Zifeng couldn't help but think of what the fortune divination had said. Because of the relationship between the "Tongyin Lingpu", Yang Shou is only thirty years old, and it takes a herb called "Black Yin Lingzhi" to crack it, and Liu Zifeng also remembered this matter in his heart.
While thinking wildly and sorting out the clues in his head, Liu Zifeng suddenly felt that his mind was a lot clearer. Seeing that the fortune divination seemed to be asleep, he walked out of the bedroom lightly, came to the hall, took out the "Xiangbu Heavenly Book" and read it.
The room suddenly fell silent, but after only a moment, the fortune teller sat up suddenly, startled Liu Zifeng, who was reading a book on the side, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"
Fortune Fortune's eyes showed excitement, and he looked at Liu Zifeng and said excitedly: "I can't sleep!Zifeng, why don't we go out for a walk together?"
Both of them are child-minded, and Liu Zifeng also found it difficult to concentrate, so he simply closed the book, nodded and agreed: "Okay, do you want to tell the senior brother about them?"
Fortune Fortune waved his hand and said: "No, no, they should all be resting, besides, don't we have the 'signal canister' given by the senior brother? If something happens, use this thing to warn, and we have nothing else to do, so we don't need to disturb them." ”
Liu Zifeng thought about it for a while, and felt that the fortune divination was reasonable, so he didn't say anything more. After putting some daily necessities in the room, the two went out for a walkout.
The sky was a little dark, and there were a lot of people who came to Fengxia Pavilion to eat, and the two walked to the door, and the shopkeeper Wang was constantly instructing Xiao Er to do things. Suddenly, I saw Liu Zifeng and the two come out, and said with a smile while busy: "Two little brothers, do you need anything?"
Liu Zifeng shook his head and said, "No, the shopkeeper Wang is polite, the two of us want to go to the town for a walk." ”
Shopkeeper Wang smiled when he heard this, and paused for a moment in his hand, only to see him leaning over and whispering to the two of them: "Be careful when you go out, there has been some chaos in the town at night recently." ”
After speaking, regardless of the puzzled faces of the two, he busied himself to solicit guests.
......
Fengxia Pavilion is located in the center of Qixia Town and is the tallest restaurant in the whole town. Liu Zifeng and Fortune Fortune came out, looked left and right, and every household was already lit up, and passers-by were in a hurry, looking a little desolate. Fortune Fortune looked at a place where there were quite a lot of people, and said, "Zifeng, let's take a look here in our district!"
Qixia Town seems to be more lively at night than during the day, and there are many people on both sides of the flat road setting up stalls, most of which are some magic weapon materials and medicinal materials, as well as some unknown strange things. These people are either some people from different races, or people who have been cultivating in Qixia Town all the year round, and even Liu Zifeng saw an ape, who was also selling his treasures at a stall.
After passing by a few stalls, Liu Zifeng didn't know whether he didn't have enough knowledge or was shy in his pocket, so he didn't buy anything. However, the fortune teller was very excited, and found several materials that were needed, and took out the silver and bought them one by one, even saving the bargaining link.
Liu Zifeng couldn't help but admire this wronged man, although these things were indeed cheap, but seeing the appearance of fortune telling, he suddenly sighed and held back what he wanted to say. However, when he was happily shopping for the fortune of fortune, Liu Zifeng found something a little weird.
These stall people are all sitting in front of the stalls, and they are really lucky, and when they talk to the guests, they are still looking left and right, looking nervous, and they can't help but make Liu Zifeng secretly strange.
With these things in mind, he found an earthy yellow spar in front of a stall, and rushed over with an exclamation. The stall owner was an old man over seventy years old, his eyes narrowed as if he couldn't see the two of them, but he just said, "Boy, have you taken a fancy to this 'earth stone'?"
The fortune teller nodded, and this time he bargained with the old man. After a while, the fortune diviner took out an object from his arms and put it down, and put away the "earth stone" on the stall, and it seemed that the two were quite satisfied with this transaction.
Liu Zifeng saw that the old man was kind and kind, not like a bad person, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Senior, why do you have to use your mental method when you set up a stall? When we were on the other side, we looked a little nervous, did something happen?"
The old man's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and his tone paused before he said, "You two are outsiders, right?
Although he had some doubts, Liu Zifeng was still patient, and said honestly: "What the seniors said is right, we just came to Qixia Town today, why did the seniors say this?"
The old man sighed, with a look on his face, and said slowly: "That's right, that is, you people don't know the situation in the town. Since you call me a senior, the old man will remind you that you must take care of your own things, and don't fall into the hands of thieves. ”
When the fortune diviner was happy, he heard the old man say a few words, and then said disapprovingly: "Isn't it a thief? Don't worry, old man, if there is an eyeless thief who beats your idea, I will help you clean him up!"
Liu Zifeng hurriedly covered his mouth, lest this kid get carried away and talk nonsense, turned his head and smiled at the old man: "Don't blame the seniors, the two of us just came here, and we don't know what happened. ”
The corners of the old man's mouth curved, and he seemed to smile, and said, "It's okay, I've seen a lot of hairy boys like you, and there's nothing to blame." Besides, the beast bone that this kid gave me just now is something that the old man urgently needs, so I can't blame it. Or, if you kid is pleasing to the eye, I'll tell you about it in detail. ”
Liu Zifeng nodded and said, "Senior, please speak." ”
While thinking about it, the old man slowly spoke: "A few days ago, a thief suddenly appeared in the town, this thief seems to be not very old, but his skills are very good, and when he shoots silently, people give this thief a name, called 'Shadowless Thief'." At first, everyone didn't care, thinking that this thief was probably passing by here and stealing something outside his body, and he didn't take it to heart. ”
Fortune Diviner was surprised and asked, "So, this thief is still in Qixia Town now?"
The old man nodded, and then said: "Qixia Town is mixed, there are activities of people of different races, and people from the right and evil ways come and go, and this thief actually started the idea of these people, and he has repeatedly succeeded in making shots, and no one is spared. These new sect disciples, or evil monks, didn't know that it was the 'Shadowless Thief' who did it, and they were already fighting with each other, and they were fighting for it, and many righteous and evil monks had died in the past few days. ”
Liu Zifeng nodded suddenly, and then he understood why these stall owners were all cautious and vigilant, and they were running their true qi all the time, obviously to beware of the "shadowless thief".
The fortune teller was also stunned, thought for a moment, and asked: "Uncle, is it possible that there are so many people in this Qixia Town, no one can catch this 'shadowless thief'?"
The old man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said astringently: "Yes, it is true that no one can catch him." No one knows how the 'Shadowless Thief' is doing, but when it comes to his speed, I'm afraid that no one can beat him faster within a radius of thousands of miles from this Qixia Town!"
