Chapter 101: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Nanyun knew that Yoshino was in a hurry, so he could only go to a relatively simple place to track, so the two immediately discussed, Yoshino tracked in the direction of the county seat for a period of time, and Nanyun tracked in the direction of Yunlowfeng, in case Kong Rui escaped back to that vicinity, if there was someone in Wuxuanzong there to pick him up, it would be very troublesome, and it should be better than Yoshino to deal with such a thing by himself; 。
Nagumo and Yoshino also have a clear division of labor, and after agreeing with each other, the two immediately disappeared into the night sky.
It turned out that Kong Rui had a plan in his heart, as soon as he entered the room, Kong Rui hurriedly poured some tea and drank it first, put the teacup on the table, and then got on the bed and rolled on it, and then quickly walked out of the window with his own things, just leaving a false impression to deceive the followers in the room.
After leaving the inn, Kong Rui quietly entered a cloth shop that he was optimistic about. The shop in Nabu Zhuang was also closed early due to the war and the slump in business, and the man was sent home, but the shopkeeper lived in the back yard.
After Kong Rui checked around, he entered the small cubicle where the guy lived at that time, he fought five vicious battles in one day, and fled from the clouds, he was already exhausted, and after arranging the illusion, he relaxed a lot, first put the talisman that can hide the breath on his chest, and then took a few pills that can restore mana and lay on the bed board, and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, when Kong Rui woke up, his mana had recovered a lot, so he swallowed a grain of Bigu Dan, and then found a well-fitting inner and outer clothes to change into in the Buzhuang shop, put all the clothes issued by Wu Xuanzong into a storage bag, and took a few more clothes and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Kong Rui thought that this was a bit like a bandit, and it was indeed extremely inappropriate, so he took out a piece of silver and put it on the counter, and went out to leave. The cloth business usually opens late, and when Kong Rui went out, there were already many people on the street, and no one cared, so he walked slowly in the direction of the north.
These scheming people are all villains, where did they think that the Great Yan Sect is all talking, and Wuxuanzong did not leave anyone to answer Kong Rui at all, but they were smart, thinking of simple things as complicated, and desperately calculating and tracking around, but they didn't expect Kong Rui to just play a child's trick and deceive them.
The two spirit masters were busy for most of the night but found nothing, and there was no trace of anyone left near Yunlow Peak to answer; they searched for the place where Wu Xuanzong temporarily lived at that time, but they also found nothing; and finally searched a lot of corners and corners in the mountains, and no one went to see them, so Nanyun and Yoshino had to put the focus back on the town.
The two of them returned to the town, flew into the air first, and released their divine senses in all directions to probe the breath of the townspeople. Ordinary cultivators' breathing is continuous and long, unlike ordinary people, especially when meditating, they have to deliberately make their breathing slow and deep. And that Kong Rui was already tired and exhausted, where did he care about breathing, and there was a talisman to help hide his breath, sleeping there like an ordinary person, and it was normal for someone to be in the store.
The two spirit masters tossed and turned for half the night, but there was still no result, so they had to enter the second room of the inn to rest for a while.
In the morning, Yoshino and Nagumo didn't know how to continue tracking Kong Rui, so they sent a message to Muto saying that Kong Rui had not been found and that they would continue to search.
Muto and the Evil Confucian Dao Elder had just returned to Songting City, and they were also discussing how to hunt down Kong Rui, when they suddenly received a message from the two spirit masters saying that Kong Rui had not been tracked, and the elder was furious, scolding the two of them for being wasteful, and asked Muto to send him a message that the two must find Kong Rui as soon as possible.
Yoshino and Nagumo knew that their uncle was angry, and they didn't dare to continue to rest at the moment, so they discussed it to no avail, so they had to go to the street to try their luck.
When the shopkeeper of the shop got up in the morning to open the shop, he saw that some of the clothes in the shop had disappeared for no reason, but there was a silver ingot on the counter, which was worth many times more than the clothes he had lost.
Yoshino and Nagumo walked right past the door of the Fusho store. Hearing that a batch of clothes had been lost in the cloth village, the two immediately thought that it might be Kong Rui's doing, so they stepped forward and pushed the door in, and asked, "This shopkeeper, what happened to Guibu Village?"
The shopkeeper was also a little strange when he saw two strangers coming uninvited, so he asked, "Who are you?"
Nanyun is also very smart, so he naturally wants to hide it, so he said: "We are tracking down a snitch, I wonder if he stole something from your store?"
"I lost some clothes in the shop last night, but the man left this ingots as compensation, so that person should not be considered a snitch. When the shopkeeper heard this, he thought that these two people were from the official family, so he was much more relieved.
Nagumo asked, "Is there anything else out of the ordinary?"
Yoshino couldn't wait for the shopkeeper's answer and searched around the village, the shopkeeper thought that the two were just investigating the case, and did not stop him, Yoshino checked around and still found nothing, so he had to ask about the color and style of the lost clothes, and left in a huff.
Yoshino and Nagumo had already confirmed that Kong Rui had stolen a batch of clothes from this cloth house, and had already changed his face and left, and there were no other clues, so they decided to go to the county seat to try their luck first. Before the two of them had gone far, they received a message from Muto, reassuring them not to worry, saying that they had asked the military department to help track down Kong Rui's whereabouts, and that Kong Rui's wanted notice could be posted everywhere in the entire occupied area.
It turned out that it was Muto who was also secretly scolding him for being incompetent, but he knew that it was indeed difficult to find someone in the mortal world, especially in a strange country, so after discussing with his uncle, he handed over the matter of tracking down Kong Rui's whereabouts to the military department of the Qi Dynasty and some organizations in the Great Yan Country, and promised a high reward, hoping to arrest Kong Rui in one fell swoop.
After receiving this news, Yoshino and Nagumo relaxed a little, and they also told Muto about the discovery that Kong Rui had stolen a batch of new clothes, and set off to the east in the direction of the county seat. These scheming people all thought that this time the two sides agreed to compete, if there were no other circumstances, the disciples of each sect would definitely only wear the uniforms of the sect and would not bring additional clothes, so the new clothes stolen by Kong Rui became a new clue.
Kong Rui walked on the road, and felt that something was not quite right, the clothes he took out from the cloth village were all brand new, and now it was the war years, he was wearing a brand new clothes alone in a crowded place, but it was very eye-catching when he walked to a place with few people, and from time to time someone looked at him more.
Seeing this, Kong Rui secretly screamed in his heart, it was impossible to return to that town, and the people who followed him soon arrived in that area, and there were no people nearby, only some passers-by were also hurrying by. If he was dressed like this and walked in the countryside for a day in a country with few people, it would definitely be very eye-catching, and anyone would pay attention to it, Kong Rui was in a hurry at the moment, and there was no good way, so he had to go to the roadside bushes to hide for a while before leaving.
It's May, and the sun is hot and hot. Kong Rui is naturally cold and hot, and he doesn't care, he is hiding behind the bushes and thinking about how to solve the problem of this new clothes.
Suddenly, Kong Rui saw that some leaves were rolled up under the scorching sun, and he didn't necessarily have a move in his heart, and thought: Why don't you try your own fire bomb technique and bake this new dress to the old one?
The fabric of the clothes is ordinary cotton yarn, how can it withstand the high temperature? Sure enough, the hem of the clothes slowly turned a little yellow, and it looked a lot older. Kong Rui gently pulled the corner of the clothes, and when he saw that it was quite strong, he was overjoyed, and quickly took off his clothes, and worked together with both hands to roast the clothes up and down.
