Chapter 469 Only for the River Visitor

"Are you leading us out of the city?"

"have no idea."

While the few of them were talking, Ren Wangzhu picked up another burnt bean and put it under his nose to smell it.

"That's not right, brother."

His voice caused several people to look at him, "What did you find?"

Ren Wangzhu sniffed the burnt beans again and quickly came to Ye Xingzhou's side.

He grabbed Ye Xingzhou's sleeve and sniffed closely. Only after smelling the scent did Ren Wangzhu speak with certainty.

"Brother, the smell of this charcoal-roasted bean grass is similar to the smell on your body."

"Indeed." Liu Gui'an sniffed Ye Xingzhou's hair, "These beans lack a bit of floral fragrance."

This remark woke several people up.

Ye Xingzhou was stunned.

The smell of these black beans is not only familiar, but also the same bath beans that Ye Xingzhou has always used.

The smell of herbs was mixed with a very light floral scent, but Ye Xingzhou used it often, so naturally he couldn't smell the smell on his body, which led to him not remembering it at the first time.

Now, Ren Wangzhu's reminder made Ye Xingzhou's eyelids twitch.

Yan He asked again, "Fellow Daoist Ye, where did you buy your bath beans?"

"I didn't buy it." Ye Xingzhou raised his eyes, "I rubbed it with Elder Xuan's medicinal residue when I was at Danfeng."

Then, there is only one possibility.

Liu Guian: "Have you ever given it to anyone else?"

Ye Xingzhou opened his mouth and said, "Give it to Senior Brother Guo Jiang."

It is only given to the guest who crosses the river.

The bath beans for Jiang Ke suddenly appeared in Beidian City, and the Demon Lord said that Jiang Ke Shanhuai was in the Water Moon Mirror of Yantian Sect.

The two are contradictory.

Could it be that the Demon Lord lied?

But Jiang Ke Shanhuai is also a disciple of Yantian Sect. If the Demon Lord was lying, there was no need to set up a barrier at the entrance to the sect to drag people into the Shuiyue Mirror.

Could it be that Jiang Ke Shan Huai came out of the Shuiyue Mirror?

Ye Xingzhou took another look at the charred bath beans that were obviously burnt, and felt uneasy for a moment.

He looked around, frowning, "To the cellar."

That cellar was where Jiang Keshanhuai had taken them to hide before.

"Senior Brother, didn't Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Shan return to the sect?" Ren Wangzhu asked as they walked.

"Yes, I'm back." Ye Xingzhou was also puzzled.

That day, Jiang Ke Shanhuai left the city and it was Ye Xingzhou and others who escorted him. Now, the items on Jiang Ke's body suddenly appeared in Beidian City, which made people feel a sense of crisis.

When Ye Xingzhou and his companions hurried to the cellar, the house that had collapsed at the beginning was still there, with no signs of anyone having set foot there.

Ye Xingzhou moved the haystack away, squeezed into the narrow space, then grabbed the button and pulled it.

The cellar door creaked open, and the light of the night pearls rushed into the underground space.

The soil was moist, and there was a pile of sweet potato vines in the corner of the wall, still in the same state as when the previous few people left.

No one has ever been here.

"I'll go ask the undead in the city." Mei You said.

Yan He followed up with a voice, "I'll go with you, so we can take care of each other."

Mei You nodded.

The two left, leaving only Liu Guian and Ren Wangzhu at the cellar entrance.

"I'll go down and take a look."

As Ye Xingzhou spoke, he had already jumped down and landed steadily.

A damp, musty smell spread.

Ye Xingzhou searched every corner carefully. Apart from the crawling insects caused by the dampness in the cellar, there were no bath beans left.

Jiang Ke has never been here.

Ye Xingzhou lowered his eyes in thought.

The Demon Lord said that Jiang Ke Shanhuai was in Yantian Sect just one second ago, and the next second Jiang Ke’s bath beans appeared in Beidian City.

Either there is a lack of information, or... the Right Protector has intervened.

Because the image stone that previously sealed the right protector is also in Yantian Sect.

Could it be that the Right Protector had used some means to hide from the Demon Lord's eyes and escape from the photo stone?

"Brother, have you found anything?"

Ren Wangzhu poked his head towards the entrance of the cellar. The faint light of the night pearl illuminated his face. His clear eyes looked at Ye Xingzhou with concern.

Ye Xingzhou shook his head, "No."

Ye Xingzhou had been thinking about countermeasures all the way. Seeing this, Ren Wangzhu kept quiet and stopped disturbing Ye Xingzhou.

He moved his steps, frowning like Ye Xingzhou, and muttering to himself.

"It would be great if Meng Zhi were here."

Meng Zhi is smarter and more capable than him. If Meng Zhi were here at this time, he would always be able to come up with some ideas.

Unlike him, he can't help at all and ends up making things worse.

Ren Wangzhu was melancholy, his eyes passing across a brick wall.

On the wall tiles was the stick figure mark left by Ye Xingzhou when he first entered Beidian City to look for the Yantian Sect members.

That stick figure happened to be Meng Zhi with a sullen face. Although it was abstract, Ren Wangzhu could still recognize it.

Ren Wangzhu lowered his head, "Brother, I wish I were half as smart as Meng Zhi."

Ye Xingzhou: "You are just too smart and therefore look stupid."

Ren Wangzhu raised his eyes, not quite understanding what he was saying.

Ye Xingzhou touched his head. His hair was smooth and felt nice to touch. "Don't worry, I have a solution."

No matter what, Ye Xingzhou still needs to see the Demon Lord again to find out.

The right protector obviously did not obey the orders of the Demon Lord completely, otherwise he would not have transferred Jiangke Shanhuai.

The trouble with the Right Protector should be left to the Demon Lord to handle.

Ye Xingzhou raised his eyes and glanced at the sky.

Evening has fallen, and the dead still roam.

A few dead souls sat on the roof, their empty eyes looking towards the distant green mountains and clear waters, as if recalling their past lives.

Ren Wangzhu took a look and also climbed onto the eaves, imitating Mei You's way of asking for information everywhere and went to ask those undead spirits.

Then he returned disappointed.

There were also Mei You and Yan He, bathing in the twilight, but gaining nothing.

"None of these dead souls have ever seen the guest from Shanhuaijiang."

"Let's take a rest first."

Ye Xingzhou asked a few people to rest, but he looked up at a dead tree and walked forward a few steps.

On the dead tree, there was an old man's head hanging. It was Jiang Ke's grandfather.

Grandpa was in the form of a normal undead, but his head was chopped off before he died, so his head had been hanging on the tree branch and his body was missing.

"Grandpa, have you ever seen Jiangke Shanhuai?"

The undead's empty eyes looked outside the city, and he didn't say a word to Ye Xingzhou's question.

Ye Xingzhou waited for a moment, but the undead didn't respond, so he had to leave the tree.

The emotions between the living and the dead are no longer the same as they were when they were alive. They are numb.

There is no clue if you ask the dead, the only way is to meet the Demon Lord again.

Ye Xingzhou found a sturdy roof and lay down on it, imitating the undead.

The gray foggy sky was tinged with a hint of blue, and a bright moon was already visible in the distance. The wind was not dry, but rather a little cool.

This is the first normal night in Beidian City.

Ye Xingzhou half-closed his eyes and exhaled.

At least now there is no interference from the undead turning into vengeful spirits, making it much easier to move around in Beidian City.

“Senior Brother…”

Ren Wangzhu was standing by the fire with a few roasted potatoes in his hand. He looked up at the person on the roof.

Liu Gui'an shook his head and said, "Let him be quiet for a while."

Ren Wangzhu said "oh", wrapped the potato in oil paper, placed it on the tile and quietly retreated.

Liu Gui'an fumbled with the Cangshui Bow with his fingertips.

"You guys eat."

Ren Wangzhu distributed the potatoes, asked Liu Gui'an for some wooden butterflies and started to organize them.

It's obvious that I have no appetite.
