Chapter 595 The owner of the building is missing
Tubei Village.
In September, the rice is turning yellow. The villagers busy in the fields at the entrance of the village are chatting loudly and shouting to the gang members at the Twelve Wharfs on the other side of the river. It still sounds lively.
But without the Su family, it feels like something is missing.
Bai Xiaofeng and Bai Kui sat at the Huo family's tea table, chatting idly.
"As I get older, I like hustle and bustle more and more... Why do I feel it's deserted all of a sudden? Don't you think so?" Bai Kui was a burly man, and when he lay down, the bamboo chair was filled to the brim.
Bai Xiaofeng took a sip of his large-leaf tea, curled his lips and sneered, "You are the older one, don't compare me to you, I am at least ten years younger than you."
"He's in his fifties, an old man."
"...Why are you still here, Mr. White?"
"I'm a husband after all. Do you have a wife? A bachelor?"
"A wise man does not enter the world of mortals!"
"So you are a Taoist who practices with your hair uncut. I'm so sorry for your disrespect."
The two men looked at each other, smiled and put down their knives.
Mr. Huo, with silver hair, waved his palm-leaf fan and spoke to stop the war. "I remember that before Tianbao returned home, he left the nine fragments of the magic weapon map with me and asked me to pass them on to Lao Bai. I'll go get them."
Bai Xiaofeng closed his eyes and said, "Don't take it, it's just waste paper."
He took the two fragments because he didn't want the younger generations to be remembered by others because of that thing.
Now the five thousand divine soldiers are all in Tubei Village, playing fishing and water fights every day. What is the use of the divine soldiers' map?
Mr. Huo pretended not to hear the refusal and brought over a torn envelope with a smile. "Niannian Suisui was naughty and smeared a lot of saliva on the envelope. It looks a bit ugly, but the contents of the letter are still clean."
He slapped the envelope against Bai Xiao Feng Xue's white collar and smiled, "Here, take it. Even if it's useless, it's nice to put it together and admire it."
Bai Xiaofeng's face instantly turned dark, and he wanted to slap Huo Ziheng to death with one palm.
Knowing that he has mysophobia!
It was already night when Bai Xiaofeng returned to Wangque Tower from Tubei Village. He casually threw the torn envelope into the corner.
The envelope was not sealed properly and the fragments slipped out.
Bai Xiaofeng stared at the fragments for a moment, clicked his tongue, bent down to pick them up, and took out the other two fragments that had been pressed at the bottom of the box for several years, and pieced them together to form a picture.
The complete treasure map shows that the terrain is not located anywhere in the Central Plains.
In the bright light of the lanterns in the house, you can see a place marked in the middle of the map, which is the location of the treasure.
Bai Xiaofeng lost interest after just one look. He gathered the fragments together and put them into the incense burner. When he turned around and lit the incense, he casually burned the fragments together.
Tianbao and the others don't need this thing anymore. Keeping it will only arouse the greed of people who don't know the truth.
The legend about the magic weapons is widely circulated in the world, and it is said that there are 50,000 magic weapons.
In fact, it is not 50,000, but 5,000.
However, even if this fact is made public, no one will believe it. People will only think that the person who obtained the magic weapon deliberately fabricated rumors to deceive others.
His fingers casually plucked the guqin, producing a few strings of flowing notes. Bai Xiaofeng closed his eyes and was about to play a tune when he suddenly heard the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air.
With a flick of his wide sleeves, Yuebai swept away the hidden weapon. Bai Xiaofeng opened his eyes, his snake pupils flashed with cold light, and he flew to chase the black shadow that flashed outside the window.
Tingfeng heard the movement and rushed into the room, but his master was nowhere to be seen. The guqin was slightly tilted on the table, and the night breeze blew in slowly through the open west window, bringing with it a hint of the cool autumn air.
The Su family stayed in Yuzhou for half a month. After fulfilling their wishes, they decided to return to their fiefdom in mid-September, just in time for the rice harvest.
On the eve of departure, news came from Wangque Tower that the owner was missing.
…
On the third day of October, the transport ship from Pier 12 arrived at the place of exile.
The speed of the boat shortened the journey by nearly ten days.
Fengyun City was in chaos.
Bai Kui and Huo Ziheng were both in Wangque Tower. After meeting Tian Bao and others, they immediately informed them of what they had investigated during this period.
"This was found in the corner of Lao Bai's room on the day he disappeared. It's a silver hairpin made of crabapple. I suspect someone used it as a hidden weapon to attack Bai Xiaofeng, because there are scratches on the wall where it fell."
"After learning that Lao Bai was missing, I ordered martial law that night and searched the entire area, but we couldn't find him. No obvious signs of fighting were found inside or outside the city."
"Bai Xiaofeng's martial arts skills are not low. There are only a handful of people in the martial arts world who can surpass him. If he were attacked, given his temperament, he would fight to the death. There is no way he would leave any suspicious signs."
"It's impossible that he was poisoned and knocked unconscious. The poison old man forced all kinds of antidote pills and poison prevention pills into his body!"
Bai Kui finished his words in one breath, his expression extremely solemn.
Huo Ziheng also frowned, "Based on the investigation, I have a guess, but I'm not sure—"
Tian Bao pursed her lips and said, "Master, you suspect that Godfather was not abducted by someone, but left on his own."
Huo Ziheng's brows relaxed and he nodded, "This is the only explanation."
"In this case, the only clue we have is this silver hairpin." Bai Yu took the Begonia silver hairpin, twisted it in his hand and looked at it carefully. The hairpin was very ordinary and could be seen everywhere on the street.
In other words, this clue is equivalent to no clue.
"Wait." The old man's nostrils twitched, and then he leaned in close to the hairpin and sniffed it carefully. "There's a residual fragrance on the hairpin... It's purple gardenia, no... It's the scent of snow mist flowers!"
"Grandpa Du, what is Snow Mist Flower?" Tian Bao frowned. She had never heard of such a flower.
"Snow Mist is a flower unique to the Outlands; it doesn't grow in the Central Plains! If it weren't for Grandpa's vast knowledge, I'm afraid none of you would be able to recognize it!"
"Didn't you lose your memory?"
"Grandpa deals with poisons, so identifying objects by scent is instinctive. It has nothing to do with memory! But that's all I can recognize, nothing more. And the Outlands are huge. Where can we find Bai Xiaofeng?" The old poison man's brows drooped, the corners of his lips were tightly drawn together, and he subconsciously walked around in circles. "Your godfather is a clean stylist, with high standards and a sharp tongue, and a bunch of bad habits... If he really gets taken away by bad guys, no one can stand it. He'll be beaten every day! What should we do? He's old and doesn't even leave more clues. Being a prisoner is not easy. There's no food to eat and no sleep to sleep... It's so pissing Grandpa off!"
Tian Bao and Bai Yu looked at each other and thought of the same thing at the same time, "Wolf Claw Totem!"
The totem drawn in Yan Changkong’s last letter!
Bai Kui couldn't recall the previous incident for a moment and was confused, "What wolf claw totem?"
Huo Ziheng's reaction was different, more of surprise and shock. "Wolf claw totem? Could it be related to other countries?"
"No, this time it's really the Outland."
