Chen Ao also knew that he couldn't hide anymore now. Since you have promised others, you must always take some action. Seeing that there are still four or five days before the martial arts conference, I just took advantage of these few days to go up the mountain to find out. Even if you can't find anyone, you can give an explanation to the pure dust monk.

Chen Ao sighed, thinking to himself, Master Pure Dust has such a great ability, but he has not been able to find anyone. It's up to us to ...... Forget it, let's talk about personnel......

was sighing, Zhao Ling had already gone back to the room to pack up.

"Hey!" Chen Ao couldn't help but muttered to himself, "Why is she so positive?"

As he spoke, he looked into Zhao Ling's room. I saw Zhao Ling putting together a pile of papers on the bookcase. Hearing the movement behind him, Zhao Ling Huoran turned around, saw Chen Ao, seemed to be startled, and said, "What are you looking at?"

Chen Ao was confused, and said, "Can't you take a look? You are panicking, what will you receive?"

"Don't show it!" Zhao Ling said, already packing the pile of papers into his baggage and tightening his mouth.

Chen Ao didn't have that much curiosity and went to see Zhao Ling's things. Seeing her so nervous, she felt very strange, and muttered to herself, "What the hell...... Women are trouble!"

He muttered as he walked towards his lodgings. As soon as he took two steps, he suddenly remembered another woman beside him, and couldn't help but wonder: "Where is Liang Xiaoya?"

When Zhao Ling heard this, he couldn't help but probe out, and said strangely: "I haven't seen her all morning?

Chen Ao sighed and said bitterly: "Alas...... What a nuisance to women!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Liang Xiaoya's figure entering from the outside and slowly walking into the courtyard. Chen Ao was startled, Fang Cai's words were said very loudly, and Liang Xiaoya must have heard it. Usually, when Liang Xiaoya heard such words, she would always have an argument with Chen Ao, and even quarrel.

Who knew that today Liang Xiaoya just walked by silently bowing her head, as if she hadn't heard Chen Ao's words at all.

Chen Ao was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?"

Liang Xiaoya looked up and saw Chen Ao, but she was a little dazed. She shook her head and said, "No...... It's okay...... What's wrong?"

Chen Ao was full of suspicion and said with a smile: "It's okay...... We're ready to go up the mountain, so let's get ready!"

"Oh. Liang Xiaoya nodded and slowly entered the house.

Chen Ao was a little unaccustomed to Liang Xiaoya's dull performance, so he had to say to himself: "These two women are a little wrong!"

Along the way, Chen Ao arranged tasks for the dozen or so gangs of the Salt Gang. also specially arranged a few people to follow and protect Liang Xiaoya and Zhao Ling. And the person responsible for protecting Liang Xiaoya is named Sun Hao.

Chen Ao couldn't understand what was wrong with Liang Xiaoya, so he had to call Sun Hao over and asked, "Why is Miss Liang so soulless? What happened when you went out?"

Sun Hao shook his head and said, "Nothing happened. Miss Liang walked around the street as usual, and finally sat down for a while at a fortune-telling stall before returning. ”

"What kind of hexagram did she go to?" asked Chen Ao.

"Miss Liang didn't allow me to get too close, so my subordinates didn't know much. I just saw the old fortune teller say a few words solemnly. ”

Chen Ao nodded, waved his hand and let Sun Hao leave. He thought in his heart, presumably the fortune teller didn't say anything good in order to fool Liang Xiaoya into breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster, but made Liang Xiaoya suspicious.

Thinking of the reason, Chen Ao was not worried. This kind of thing is originally imaginary, as long as you figure it out after a long time, there will be no problem.

Chen Ao didn't care about Liang Xiaoya, and beckoned his subordinates to get ready. After a hearty meal at the inn, everyone sold the baskets full of souvenirs to the innkeeper on the spot. Since you are going up the mountain, there is no need to hide your identity anymore, so you can simply travel lightly!

Along the way, however, the chances of them being recognized are slim to none. It's no wonder that although the Salt Gang Conference was held vigorously at the beginning, looking at the entire martial arts, it was just a small fight. Those who came to participate were either three religions and nine streams, or small rivers and lakes with ghost thoughts. Those famous factions, martial arts orthodoxy, disdain to participate in this kind of gangster gathering.

And this time the Shaolin faction held a hero conference, the level is much higher. The organizer is the first major school of martial arts, and the participants are all well-known figures in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, there are naturally not many people who recognize Chen Ao.

Chen Ao wanted to understand this truth, so he walked along the road boldly and confidently. The road is not far, but there are men and women in the group, their physical fitness is uneven, and there are Chen Ao, Zhao Ling, and Liang Xiaoya, who don't know martial arts, so their feet are naturally very slow.

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already dusk. Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Ao discussed with Zhao Ling, so he simply slept at the foot of the mountain and went up the mountain early tomorrow morning.

With an order, Qin Lang beckoned his subordinates to quickly set up a few simple tents and build a bonfire. A few men went into the woods and soon returned with hares and pheasants. It was also fun to have a picnic at the foot of Mt. Shomuro. Chen Ao thought in his heart, this rabbit pheasant may have been released by a good man and a woman, but he didn't expect that it would eventually fall into the belly of a human being.

There was no word all night, and the next morning, it was just dawn. Everyone was about to set off, but unexpectedly found that Liang Xiaoya was gone. Since yesterday, Liang Xiaoya has been sullen and doesn't say much, but everyone ignores her. Where did you think that after a night, people would disappear?

Chen Ao was worried in his heart, and checked last night's sentry post, but did not find anyone approaching the campsite. Zhao Ling glanced at Liang Xiaoya's tent and said, "If someone kidnaps her, it is impossible not to alarm others." And the tent was so neat that the futon hadn't even been touched. There is only one explanation, Xiaoya went by herself. ”

"Leaving by herself?" Chen Ao said strangely, "Where is she going?"

Zhao Ling shook his head, and it was difficult for him to answer this question. But one thing is for sure, Liang Xiaoya's departure seems to have something to do with the old fortune teller yesterday.

Chen Ao didn't say a word, and greeted Qin Lang and said, "You and Sun Hao rush back to the town to find the fortune teller." Ask him what he said to Liang Xiaoya yesterday. After you get that straight, give me another beating!"

Qin Lang took the order and left. Chen Ao sighed and said, "I'll just say that this girl will be looking for trouble." Now I have to look for her, alas......" he said and ordered seven or eight more men to disperse and look for her in the vicinity. Whether you find it or not, meet at the Shaolin Temple tonight.

Zhao Ling said: "The martial arts conference is about to be held, and the people around here are all famous and decent, not Duan Yi and the like, don't worry." Besides, Xiaoya once traveled thousands of miles alone, and her experience is not bad. And she loves lively people so much, she won't go to the martial arts conference to have a look. As long as we look for it, we will definitely find it!"

Chen Ao nodded, reluctantly got into the tent, and simply packed his bags. In fact, his baggage has not been opened, and he does not need to pack anything. But somehow, when he suddenly heard that Liang Xiaoya was missing, and when he contacted the recent incident, Chen Ao felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.

Besides, the things in this burden are very important to Chen Ao, and he is really careless. Chen Ao opened the burden on a whim, wanting to check it more carefully.

There's a booklet in this baggage. That's Chen Ao's own masterpiece - the Crossing Code. When I went from Liangcheng to Renhai County, the road was stormy. Chen Ao could only write his experience on a piece of silk. Now that he is the helmsman, he will no longer eat and sleep in the open, so he ordered a booklet and copied all the contents.

In addition to the book, there are also some bits and pieces. For example, the dagger that Xuan Ning left for him, and the token that Zhao Ling gave to Su Zhuo, and Su Zhuo handed over to Chen Ao, representing the supreme power of the Ghost Hidden Society......

Wait! Chen Ao suddenly felt a pang in his heart, why is this brand so much lighter...... [.]
