Walking to the Yueqi Mountain in Puzhou, thunder and lightning were combined, and it rained heavily.

The big jacket marched forward in the wind and rain, his clothes were already soaked, and he trudged in the strong wind, still hurrying unhurriedly. Over the years, the demon has already suffered countless hardships, not to mention that he has encountered many hardships in the confinement of the Jade Pure Bottle, and he has already honed his heart like a rock.

Go further, in the storm, you will see a Changsheng inn in front, here is the main road to Chang'an, and it is rainy, so the business of the inn is particularly good, and the inn is full of passing guests.

Da Yuan walked outside the inn, there was a thunder and lightning, Da Yuan casually glanced into the inn, and saw that there was a person in the inn who was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. He thought about it again and remembered that it was in a small town in the north of Huanghualing, when Qingping and Qingxi were resting with a few people, and the person was sitting next to Qingping, and there was a conspicuous mark on his face, so he remembered it. Da Yuan thought of the Qingping brothers and sisters, and wanted to listen to the news, so he turned around and walked towards the inn.

The door was pushed open, and with the cold wind and cold rain, a man who described himself as depressed and covered in muddy water walked in. When the shopkeeper saw the customer coming to the door, he hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that this person was wearing a tattered robe, and he couldn't distinguish the style, his beard was unkempt, and he even covered his entire face, like a child. Xiao Er asked tentatively, "Guest officer, are you?"

Da Yuan only said: "I'll take shelter from the rain and leave." ”

The shopkeeper really regarded Da Yuan as a beggar, for fear that Da Yuan would stain the seat, so he only let Da Yuan stand at the door.

The big jacket was not annoyed, he stood at the door, the rain on his body was dripping, and after a while, his feet were wet in a large area, he had not been washed for more than three years, his hair was sticky, his body was dirty, and he was sour and smelly, and everyone was afraid to avoid it, and no one looked at it more.

Da Yuan's eyes only swept and saw clearly that everyone in the inn was a shallow demon slayer, these people sat at three or four tables, and there were four or five people at each table, and it seemed that they had just formed a team and made an order to return to Chang'an. These people all talked in low voices, and the young Taoist who had met sat in the distance, but the one at the table with him was not clear and peaceful, and Da Yuan couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

At this time, I heard someone say, "Have you heard? It is said that on the sixth day of the first month of this month, someone will face off against the immortals for life and death." ”

Someone immediately said: "Really, such an opportunity can't be missed, watching the master duel can be a great reference for us to cast spells and practice demon extermination." ”

As soon as the two of them said this, everyone in the entire inn stopped talking and listened attentively. At this time, a woman at the other table interjected: "I heard that one of the two people in the duel is a master of the Heavenly Dao Society, nicknamed Dog Tu, and the other seems to be called Da Yuan." ”

The first person said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

The woman said again: "That big coat heard that he is a nameless junior, and somehow he offended the master of the Heavenly Dao Society. ”

Da Yuan was amused in his heart when he heard it, there was such a rumor, he himself was here, and he didn't know anything about the duel at all. I heard the woman say again: "Even if the two are very different, it is worth watching, after all, it is good to see how the master moves." It's just that this matter has already been spread all over the world, and it is estimated that when people are crowded, they will look at the back of other people's heads. ”

When the woman said this, everyone in the inn laughed, and Da Yuan didn't take it to heart. At this time, I heard a person say: "I also know about this, my two friends and the person named Da Yuan know each other, and they rushed back to Chang'an two days ago." ”

Da Yuan's eyes swept away, and he saw that it was the person with the mark on his face who was talking, and the two friends in his mouth were probably talking about Qingping and the two. Da Yuan thought to himself, he acted secretly, he had been slaying demons alone, and he didn't have many acquaintances, and Qingping and Qingxi hadn't seen each other for a long time. Thinking of this, Da Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, it seems that this matter has been known to everyone, and it is definitely not a rumor that is wrong, but someone is pretending to be himself.

When Da Yuan thought about it, his heart tightened, and he pushed the door and walked out of the inn and stepped into the wind and rain.

It only took more than a day to rush to Chang'an, and when Da Yuan entered Chang'an City, the first thing he thought of was to verify the rumors. Walking along Suzaku Street to the vicinity of the Chang'an Inn, Da Yuan thought about it but didn't go in, so he pretended to be a beggar and squatted in a corner to look at everyone entering and leaving the inn. With his current appearance and outfit, no one paid attention to him, and he had practiced the Mixed Yuan Dao Method, so it was extremely difficult for people to notice the mana emanation on his body.

After squatting outside the inn for half a day, he found nothing but a few copper plates thrown at him. In fact, if you enter the inn and inquire, you will know the latest news, but I am afraid that your identity will be exposed. He continued to wait outside, and saw that another hour had passed, when he saw two familiar figures come out of the inn.

It was Qingping and Qingxi, and there was a young man who was quite close to Qingxi, and the three of them left the inn and turned to Qinglong Street. Qingping and the three seemed to be wandering around Qinglong Street at will, and after walking three intersections, they suddenly turned into an alley.

It was the most notorious alley in Chang'an, a gathering place for hooligans, ruffians, prostitutes and fugitives. Da Yuan followed behind the three of them, entered the shady alley, turned a few corners, and came to a dilapidated and gloomy wooden building, which had an inconspicuous sign with the words Sanhuatang written on it. Seeing these three words, Da Yuan sneered secretly, thinking that he was rewarded by Sanhuatang a few years ago, and now he sent it to the door, I don't know if the people of Sanhuatang can still recognize themselves, even if they recognize themselves, with their current cultivation, what can they do.

At this time, Qingping had already walked in, leaving Qingxi and the two of them to stay outside the door. For some reason, there were many homeless people and beggars gathered at the entrance of Sanhuatang, and they walked over and mixed in with those homeless, no different from those homeless, and no one paid attention to them. Seeing that Qing Xi and the young man beside him were whispering, Da Yu hurriedly approached Qing Xi and the two of them, and listened with all his ears.

I heard the person next to me whisper: "What did Brother Qingping do in Sanhuatang?"

Qing Xi said in the man's ear: "Why are you asking this? The eldest brother won't let me tell anyone else." ”

The young man intimately hugged Qing Xi's waist and abdomen, put his mouth on Qing Xi's face, and said softly: "Sister Xi, do you have anything else to hide from me? Besides, am I someone else?"

Qing Xi smiled sweetly, looked around, and whispered in the man's ear: "Then tell you, the eldest brother went to inquire about the whereabouts of a person, that person's name is Sanzhi, and he is a friend of ours." ”

The man sighed, and didn't ask any more.

At this time, it may be that Da Yuan listened too carefully, Qing Xi noticed it, glared at Da Yuan, and walked away two steps.

Da Yuan lowered his head, thinking to himself, why were they in a hurry to inquire about Sanzhi's whereabouts, they and Sanzhi were not friends. Da Yuan thought about it again, Qingping and the two probably wanted to find out the whereabouts of the red hairpin. It's just that why are they anxiously looking for the red hairpin at this time? Da Yuan's heart suddenly tightened, and it suddenly occurred to him that someone is pretending to be himself in a showdown with others, could it be that he wants to lead the red hairpin to appear? If the red hairpin knew that he was going to fight against others, he would definitely look for himself.

At this moment, an old man beckoned to Da Yuan in the distance, signaling Da Yuan to go over. Sure that the other party was calling himself, Da Yuan was shocked, this old man didn't know him, and the other party probably wouldn't know him now.

Carefully walked in front of the other party, but the old man reached out and took out a few gold ingots and handed them to Da Yuan, who took it inexplicably, and heard the old man say in a low voice: "Go buy the latest news of Cangliang Mountain, I will wait for you to reply at Li's noodle shop." ”

After thinking about it, Da Yuan realized that the homeless people at the gate of Sanhuatang were all running errands for people, and some people wanted to buy news, but they didn't want the people of Sanhuatang to know that they bought it themselves, so they would look for these people.

Da Yuan took the gold ingot, turned around and walked back, and walked past Qing Xi. When I entered Sanhuatang, I saw more than a dozen reward notices posted in the first house, and then I looked closely, and an old reward order was my name.

Walking into the second room, I saw that there were a few people from Sanhuatang who were in charge of reception, and then I saw that Qingping had just finished talking to people and walked over from Da Yuan. Da Yuan approached the people in Sanhuatang, thought for a while, and said in a dumb voice, "I want to ask about the whereabouts of a man named Blind." ”

A middle-aged man from Sanhuatang said, "Is there any other clue? If not, one hundred and sixty taels of gold are needed." ”

The big jacket handed over the gold, and the people inside took it and began to record the case file. Da Yuan said again: "The whereabouts of a woman named Hongchai." ”

The middle-aged man quoted the price again, and Da Yuan took the gold from himself, and said: "There is also the latest news about the Immortal Finger Duel, and the latest news about Cangliang Mountain." ”

He paid for the gold ingots, and in a few moments he handed out four sealed letters, the surface of which only the gold had been spent.

Da Yuan stretched out his hand to take it, went out of the room, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he put three of the letters into himself, and he went out of Sanhuatang again, found the Li family's noodle shop, and handed the last letter to the old man.

Leaving the back alley, Da Yuan found a remote place, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he took out three letters to check. The first is about the whereabouts of the blind man, and the letter states that it will take a few days, and he asks for news from Sanhuatang in five days, and the code is attached to the end of the letter. Look at the second letter, it is clearly written, Hongchai, a few years ago was tracked down by the Heavenly Dao Society, her whereabouts are unknown, I heard that she appeared again recently, sixteen days ago, someone saw her leave after the Tianjian Platform grounded the order.

Da Yuan's expression was immediately solemn, pondered for a moment, and then opened the third letter, which read: There are three latest rumors about the fairy finger duel, the first rumor, it is said that the two sides of the duel will advance the time of the duel, the second rumor, it is said that someone saw the person named Da Yuan in Chang'an yesterday, and the third rumor, the current Yulan gambling house odds, bet on Da Yuan to win, one to pay eleven.

After thinking for a moment, Da Yuan rubbed his hands, and the three letters immediately turned into ashes. At this time, Da Yuan looked up, and suddenly saw a figure walking past from the street in front of him, Da Yuan was startled, and hurriedly went out of the alley to take a look, and was stunned for a moment. The figure walked quickly, dressed in a cyan robe, and that person turned out to be Da Yu himself.
