Chapter 295: A Trip to the Canyon
Five days later in the morning, Shi Xiaoliu returned to the top of the mountain. When Shi Zelan saw him, his eyes suddenly brightened.
She looked at him carefully: "You didn't suffer any loss on this trip, did you?"
Shi Xiaoliu looked at her with amusement: "What kind of loss can a grown man like me suffer?"
"Of course, it's because of women."
Shi Zelan answered him with a smile, which made Shi Xiaoliu so angry that his eyes were about to burst into fire.
"Only women use the word 'suffering a loss', we men only know how to take advantage."
"This kind of statement can only be based on the wishful thinking between men and women in the secular world.
For those of us who practice cultivation, if you are not willing to get along with young women, but they insist on getting close to you, then you will be at a disadvantage. ”
"Thank you, I didn't suffer any loss, and I didn't get close to any young women."
Shi Zelan smiled and patted his chest: "Xiao Liu, you have preserved the innocence of my sister-in-law Xiao Liu."
"Sister Lan, did you encounter any problems in the mountains these days?"
"No."
Shi Xiaoliu looked at her in disbelief, and Shi Zelan had to reiterate: "Really, I haven't even left the mountain."
Shi Xiaoliu felt more at ease and said to Shi Zelan, "This area will probably not be peaceful in the near future."
"Xiao Liu, how is your work going?"
"I will pass the news to the prefect. Whether he believes it or not is not my business."
"In the past few days, some government officials have come to the mountain. They disguised themselves as herbalists to collect herbs."
"Aren't they pretending to be anything like it?"
"The person who came pretended to be quite good and even knew a few medicinal herbs."
"The prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture is not a fool, is he?"
"He dare not be confused."
At 3 p.m., Xia Yu also rushed back. When he saw Shi Xiaoliu, he was very surprised and said, "Xiaoliu, you came back earlier than me."
Shi Xiaoliu nodded and said, "I sent you a message."
After Xia Yu heard what Shi Xiaoliu said, he looked around and whispered to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, "I met an immortal cultivator from outside of Jiuzhou."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at him: "Did they see you?"
"No.
Not knowing who was friend or foe, I went invisible. ”
Shi Zelan gave Xia Yujian a thumbs up and said, "Xia Yu, you did the right thing. The three of us don't have high cultivation bases right now, so we should try to avoid things that we can."
"Then the message I passed to you was intercepted by someone halfway?"
Xia Yu glanced at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "It's very likely. Did you say any special news?"
“Fortunately, I only said three words.
Going home. ”
Xia Yu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Shi Xiaoliu said: "They intercepted the news from our sect. The person who could click to listen to the news must be three realms higher than us."
Shi Zelan looked at their expressions and asked Xia Yu, "Have you finished your work?"
"It was done. I asked someone to hand a note to the official. I saw the official pass the note in."
At night, the three of them sat on the roof and told each other what they had seen and heard since they separated.
Shi Xiaoliu talked about his experience in the tavern: "It is true that places with bright lights and revelry are the most likely to dull the ambitions of heroes."
Xia Yu and Shi Zelan both laughed when they heard what he said. Shi Zelan asked curiously, "Are there any barmaids in the tavern serving you?"
Shi Xiaoliu quickly shook his head: "I don't go to that kind of pub. I go to a place where people drink alcohol to have a good time."
Xia Yu listened to his words and sighed: "Brother Xiaoliu, you are better at choosing a place than I am."
Shi Xiaoliu listened to him and asked, "What kind of demon place did you go to?"
"Hahaha."
Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu with laughter. Shi Xiaoliu also felt that he had said something wrong: "Xia Yu, I mean, did you go to a red powder place?"
Xia Yu glared at Shi Zelan, then turned to Shi Xiaoliu and said, "I didn't go to places with all kinds of strong fragrances. I went to the teahouse."
Shi Zelan said with some disappointment: "When you were in the capital, you didn't like to go to teahouses."
"After I entered the inn, I heard from the host that if I wanted to get information, I should go to the teahouse."
Shi Xiaoliu looked at him and agreed: "The teahouse is a good place. What news have you heard?"
"The storyteller in the teahouse I went to told interesting stories. Everyone just listened to the stories and no one gossiped."
Xia Yu later went to another teahouse, where he heard someone tell a strange story.
He became somewhat interested in this and followed everyone to see the novelty.
Two Taoists have been competing in meditation in the yard for two days and one night, but there is still no winner.
After Xia Yu went over, he noticed at a glance that something was wrong with the two men, and then he saw the three people guarding the two Taoists.
He stood in the corner, looked over, and quickly followed the group.
Afterwards, he didn't want to meet those people again, so after finishing his work, he disappeared into the vicinity of that yard.
It happened that the two Taoists stopped meditating, and he listened to the two Taoists mocking the people in the secular world, saying that they were all ignorant and had missed a great opportunity to make friends with the immortal cultivators.
"Are they practitioners from a small sect, or independent practitioners traveling together?"
Shi Xiaoliu frowned, and Xia Yu shook his head: "One of them has established his foundation, and the others are about the same level as us."
Xia Yu always acted cautiously, but after seeing those people, he was still a little worried. After leaving the city, he walked around the official road and the small path for several times before heading to the top of the mountain.
After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan expressed their gratitude, Shi Xiaoliu said to Xia Yu, "If they haven't seen you, they probably won't follow you."
Shi Zelan said: "Even if they find a way to follow us, the three of us working together will not let them take advantage of us."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan both believed in Xia Yu's intuition. If it was someone they could get to know, Xia Yu would definitely not avoid meeting him.
Shi Zelan also told them about what happened on the mountain. Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu looked at each other and said, "We have made the lake water even more turbid."
"If those people really get the gold mine, I don't know how many people will suffer in the future."
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu returned to the room, and Shi Zelan sat on the roof.
There is always a sense of unrest in the wind this night.
Where Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu had passed the message, the two prefects summoned their staff to discuss the source of the message.
"There are reasons and grounds for both empty talk and wind.
I arranged for someone to go to Yangzhou Prefecture to see what happened there. ”
At dawn, Shi Xiaoliu flew to Shi Zelan's roof. Seeing her open her eyes, he asked, "Do you want to go to the canyon?"
Shi Zelan smiled and nodded, saying, "Go."
When Xia Yu came out of the room, she happened to hear the conversation between the brother and sister, and immediately expressed her desire to go with them.
When the three of them went out, they checked the defense measures in various places and added some concealment on the mountainside.
Shi Xiaoliu said to Xia Yu and Shi Zelan, "The canyon is foggy at this time. When we go down, we must be careful of the sharp edges of the cliff."
