"Young Hero Li is joking."
Madam Pei closed the door with his back, walked over with his waist twisted, turned around, sat sideways on the bench, put up Erlang's legs, exposing his amazing curves.
Then, he held his cheek and looked at Li Yan, and exhaled softly. "Why can't the slave family come to you if it has to be him?"
"Could it be that you think the slave family is old and wan?"
As he spoke, his eyes were full of resentment.
"Madam Pei No need to test."
Li Yan looked calm, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for the two of them respectively. "Your heart beats steadily when you speak. It is obviously some kind of rhetoric technique. You can make the other person lose their mind first, and then take the initiative. It's useless to me."
"Also, Madam just called Brother Shen 'he'. It was not an ordinary relationship. She was avoiding other people. She obviously had something to say to me alone."
"Oh?"
Hearing Li Yan's words, Madam Pei also looked surprised. Then he sat up straight, with a solemn look on his face, and his temperament became dignified.
During the transition, it seemed like a completely different person.
She picked up the tea and took a sip, and then said, "Young Hero Li Don't be surprised, it's just because the matter is important. San Lang and I are close friends of life and death. He is willing to trust each other with his life, but I don't worry."
"Now that I see it, Young Hero Li is indeed very human."
"It's just something to do and something not to do."
Li Yan shook his head, his face became solemn, "Brother Shen is Netherworld Sect's man. Who dares to embarrass him?"
Madam Pei was silent for a moment, "Do you know who his master is?"
Li Yan replied, "Netherworld Sect has a tall hand Five Directions Yin Sacrifice, and Divine Land walks around. I only know that his master is one of them, named 'Yin JiuGe'."
Madam Pei nodded and said, "It seems that Mr. Shen really trusts you."
"His master is over sixty years old. He usually travels around the world disguised as a Feng Shui master. He wears earth from hundreds of graves around his waist and will add earth when he encounters an orphan's grave. He is the eldest among Five Directions Yin Sacrifice, so he has the nickname 'Central Mound Builder'."
"Mr. Shen came from Sichuan a while ago and originally stopped here to meet his master, but Paper Figure Case happened to be out of Luoyang and there was another movement in Mang Mountain."
"He went to check it out. When he came back, his whole person changed. He gave me some things as a gift and left a suicide note to be sent back to Chang'an. He looked like he was preparing for his funeral..."
Li Yan frowned and said, "What didn't he say?"
Madam Pei shook his head and said, "I asked, but he didn't tell me. It must be something important that must be done and must not be disclosed to me."
"He knew you were coming to Yuzhou and asked me to pay attention to the news and leave you a message..."
As he said that, he took a deep breath and said, "If we see him someday and the two sides are enemies, we will attack... no mercy!"
Li Yan was stunned, "Why is this so?"
"I don't know either."
Madam Pei shook his head and said, "This is what he said exactly. He even told me the same way. Then he left. There is no news yet."
Li Yan was silent, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
At that time, Shen SanYou came to him on the order of the Netherworld Sect to ask about Nine Cauldrons. Could it be that Netherworld Sect had a problem or found some clues?
He looked like he was risking his life.
What on earth is Shen SanYou doing?
While he was deep in thought, Madam Pei took out a letter from his arms and said, "He said that you came to Yuzhou to save your friends. He asked me to do a favor. This is all the information that can be found about that matter."
"Di Longzi This person is not authentic, so be careful."
"Thank you, senior."
Li Yan took the things solemnly, but the title had changed.
After sending Madam Pei away, Li Yan opened the letter and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, it contained all the information about Zhao the Donkey:
Luoyang sub-rudder, Dragon Gate Post, Yi Si Year March 23
Check Treasure Hunter Zhao the Donkey couple's trip to Yuzhou:
1. Yi Si Year On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Zhao couple came to Luo from southern Henan. They pretended to be craftsmen who repaired ancient stele and sneaked into Nanshi with the help of Dao Dao. During the period, they frequently visited the old house "Earth Dragon Zhang" at the foot of Mang Mountain to inquire about the Jinling geological line.
2. On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao's wife went to Beimang alone to steal the Northern Wei Emperor Xianwen burial pit. That night, a paper sedan traveled Mang Mountain at night...
3. On the first day of the first lunar month, Di Longzi and his wife Zhao visited Luoyang antique dealer "Golden Eye Feng" and said they were exploring the Northern Wei Dynasty Dust-Avoiding Pearl...
In April and February, Zhao the Donkey appeared in Longmen Grottoes. On the same day, the first corpse of Luoyang Paper Figure Case appeared in Nanshi...
Looking at these clues, Li Yan frowned.
Sure enough, Di Longzi hid a lot.
Before he hired him, Zhao the Donkey had already started to go to the grave. I'm afraid the two of them were not simply taking money to do things.
Also, Zhao the Donkey is from the Treasure Hunter family, very strict with rules, and never touches Mystery Exploration Branch's business.
Why the sudden change in style?
Li Yan feels something in his heart, and it should be related to his wife.
Speaking of which, his wife is also an acquaintance.
It is none other than the pretty shopkeeper Feng FeiYan in Chang'an City.
This woman was originally a secret agent trained by Commandery Commandant Office. Later, she was accidentally involved in the internal fighting of Commandery Commandant Office and almost lost her life. She later disappeared.
Why did you become Zhao the Donkey's wife again?
If Shen SanYou hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have believed it.
Zhao the Donkey broke his oath and left Guanzhong, and then engaged in a fight. I'm afraid it has something to do with this woman.
Thinking of this, murderous intent rose up in Li Yan's eyes.
One is Treasure Hunter who has a dull personality.
One is a scheming woman who stepped out of troubled waters.
If Feng FeiYan is really plotting, even if she has a good relationship with Red Yaksha, he will not show mercy!
Earth Dragon Zhang, Golden Eye Feng...
After remembering these two key names, Li Yan went to bed to rest.
Now that he has a clue, he no longer needs to be polite to Di Longzi and will start questioning him on the way to Luoyang!
In a trance, Li Yan had a dream.
In a dark pit, withered fingers carved blood letters on the blue bricks. Judging from the figure, it was Zhao the Donkey that he had not seen for a long time.
Li Yan couldn't help but get closer, wanting to see what was written.
However, Zhao the Donkey in the shadow suddenly looked up.
Its face is clearly that of a paper man!
Phew~
Li Yan woke up suddenly.
He looked around, but saw the afterglow of dusk leaking in through the crack in the window, and the room was very quiet.
Li Yan frowned, a little confused.
For a practitioner, the most important thing is to enter concentration. As Divine Soul becomes stronger, he has not dreamed for a long time, and sleeps for two or three hours at a time to recuperate his energy.
No, there is another situation.
There is something like Dragon Girl that gives him dreams!
But the dragon pattern jade pendant has long been returned...
Thinking of this, Li Yan's heart trembled, and he quickly pinched Yang Seal, took a deep breath, and then suddenly stood up.
After getting out of bed, he jumped up, turned over the bed, lowered his body, and touched a broken tile with his finger.
Inside, there was some ashes.
It was not mixed with dust and ash, so it had obviously just burned.
Li Yan's face suddenly turned ugly.
He knows this kind of magic, but drives Chuling Paper Figure to peek and explore. Once he stops performing the magic, the paper man will burn.
But he has a lot of evil-suppressing magic weapons on his body.
If you see ordinary gadgets from a distance, avoid them.
The artist's methods are extremely extraordinary!
The other party should still be at the inn!
Li Yan was thoughtful, turned over, fell down, and pushed the door open.
Although the opponent's technique was secretive, it also revealed some flaws. As long as he walked around the inn, he could smell it.
However, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Sha LiFei walking quickly.
"What happened?"
Seeing his serious expression, Li Yan asked quickly.
Sha LiFei lowered his voice and said, "Di Longzi That old boy went out two hours ago and hasn't returned yet. Could he have run away?"
"Leave him alone!"
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Let others be careful. There were experts peeking at the inn just now."
Sha LiFei understood immediately and quickly informed others.
Li Yan, on the other hand, kneaded and sniffed, walked out of the corridor, and went downstairs to the inn lobby.
Dragon Gate Inn The place is large, the door is small, and the light in the hall has dimmed due to sunset.
Different from just now, there are already many fewer people.
The copper brazier crackled in the corner, and the smell of burning smoke swirled around.
In front of the counter, the waiter was sleeping on his stomach, while the old accountant in charge of reception was doing accounts under the candlelight of ram horns.
The one holding the yellowed account book is a camel with three colored glazed colors from the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yan didn't care after seeing it.
Madam Pei has already said that they drove away a group of tomb robbers and left behind a lot of messy stuff, all of which were used in the store.
Looking inside the hall, three men gathered around the charcoal basin to keep warm. They were holding open hatchets with their frozen tiger's mouth. They were already drunk and talking nonsense.
There was also Hu Shang, who was also drunk during the day.
None of these people!
Li Yan looked out the door thoughtfully, and lowered his hand on the handle of the knife.
"Young Hero Li, are you hungry?"
When the old accountant behind the counter saw him coming downstairs, he quickly kicked the waiter, then hurried over and cupped his hands and said, "The shopkeeper has given the order. Young Hero Li wants to eat something. The old man will arrange it right now."
Li Yan turned around and saw that Sha LiFei and others had also come down, so he shook his head towards the accounting room and said, "No need to bother, by the way, have you ever seen the Di Longzi who came with us?"
The old accountant shook his head and said, "I left two hours ago and haven't come back yet. I'm just thinking about whether I should look for him or not."
"I'll go."
Li Yan made a gesture, and Lu San immediately went downstairs.
Others, however, were waiting upstairs and did not follow.
This is the code word set by their team, and they will have different response strategies for different situations.
He is looking for someone, Lu San is more proficient.
And Wang Dao Xuan has Wu Ba and Sha LiFei protectors, plus Long Yan'er's Gu Arts, which is enough to cope with most situations.
After leaving the door, Li Yan used Divine Ability again, then frowned slightly and looked at the dim and uninhabited Official Road in the distance.
He smelled a faint smell, but it disappeared into the night.
"Did you find it?"
Lu San looked unhappy, frowned and said in a low voice.
His duty was to guard the team, but he didn't notice someone approaching him using magic, which was obviously a dereliction of duty.
"It's okay, he is a master and has already left."
Li Yan shook his head and said, "Don't worry about him, go to Di Longzi first. There is something wrong with this old boy."
"Hmm."
Lu San nodded muffledly, then snapped his fingers.
With an eagle cry, his Falcon Li Dong flew out of the window, flapped its wings and disappeared into the night sky.
Little White Fox Chu Qi, also jumping around.
Lu San was not in a hurry to pursue it, but continued to pinch Mystical Gestures and whistle into the surrounding dark wilderness.
Suddenly, the wind blew the leaves, and many small animals emerged from the shadows of the woods, squeaking at them.
Lu San Since completing the inheritance and learning <Orchid and Iris Scripture>, not only can he hear the language of birds and animals, but even plants can also transmit messages.
"Going that way."
He pointed to the mountain road on the right and left first.
Li Yan followed behind him leisurely.
What they didn't know was that dozens of miles away, on the wilderness trail to Luoyang, an old man was walking slowly.
It was an old man with a hunchback who was in the inn during the day.
Because it was too common, Li Yan didn't pay attention.
The hunchbacked old man stamped his feet step by step, like nails, leaving deep footprints. The Yin Wind that accidentally rolled up around him immediately felt peaceful.
His face was full of vicissitudes of life, and there were smile lines hidden in it. When he saw an ownerless grave on the roadside, he shook his head slightly, grabbed a handful of soil from the leather bag around his waist, sprinkled it on the grave, and said lightly:
"Cover yourself more often, don't catch cold."
After he walked by, Yin Wind was blown around again.
A faint cry could be heard in the wind...
Li Yan The trail the two of them took was to the nearby mountains.
It wasn't any famous mountain or river, it was just an unnamed hill that was half-high but not high. As soon as the two of them reached the mountainside, they heard the cry of eagles in the night sky.
"Found it!"
Lu San quickened his pace, his body was like an arrow leaving the string.
Li Yan also frowned slightly and shrunk.
He could already smell blood.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before Di Longzi was found.
And this elder Tongtian Sect was already a dead man, sitting under a big tree, his head and the tree trunk behind him were all blown to pieces.
"It's Divine Firearm."
Li Yan looked thoughtfully and looked in front of Di Longzi.
There were several footprints there. Although night had fallen and the surroundings were pitch black, they could not be hidden from Li Yan's eyes.
"He's from the Yamen!"
Li Yan just took one look and made a judgment.
The reason is very simple. The footprints are deep in front and shallow in back, like "Dan Chi broken steps", which is the characteristic of official boots' footprints.
Great Xuan Dynasty official boots are hard-soled and have an upturned toe. Officials wear official robes and need to lift their robes and take small steps when walking. The toe of the boots frequently touches the ground, causing a dent in the forefoot.
It is very different from the flat sole marks of ordinary cloth boots.
Even if you disguise yourself, you can't change your habits.
Lu San also compared the explosion marks on the tree trunk, jumped up, jumped onto a nearby tree, jumped on the trunk several times, and found the location of the shooter.
There are eight small holes around it.
Li Yan also jumped up and said after seeing it, "Using the formation flag to cover up is Commandery Commandant Office's method."
He often interacts with Commandery Commandant Office and is very familiar with it.
In the Yunyang Prefecture war, the people of the imperial court Commandery Commandant Office and Heavenly Saint Sect fought in the mountains. Each had firearms. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they learned a lot of experience.
Covering with formation flags and shooting snipers is one of them.
In addition, the previous footprints were directly facing Di Longzi at close range.
Li Yan could already imagine that someone was talking to Di Longzi to attract his attention, and the person behind him fired a sniper shot.
Even he can't escape this distance.
It's a pity that the dignified elder Di Longzi Tongtian Sect, a notorious presence on the Yuzhou Road, died before he could even use his methods.
Later, the two found the corpses of several Di Longzi disciples. They had been stabbed through the heart with a knife, and the wounds were as thin as cicada wings.
"Hardness and softness combine to create strength..."
Li Yan looked at the wound carefully and said thoughtfully, "Seeing the power of the knife, it is a combination of spear and gun skills. It is Zhoukou's 'Chang Family Blade'!"
As he said that, he turned to look in the direction of Luoyang, inexplicably remembering the strange dream just now and the information given by Madam Pei.
"The matter of Zhao the Donkey seems to be related to Paper Figure Case..."
