Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 279 Crash

Bowangzhou City.

Immortal Terrace.

It was late at night, and the cold white moonlight shone into the house through the window lattice. The door on the fourth floor was pushed open with a "squeak", and outside the door was the figure of Anzang holding a sword.

Wudong raised his head and passed a cup of tea to the side.

"What's the matter?" Tianshan Sifeng crossed his knees and put his sword.

"There was some movement last night." Wudong said.

Anzang raised an eyebrow.

"Li Weiru just sent the news that someone is eyeing the house. There were traces of being explored last night, but they haven't gone in yet." Wudong raised his head and looked over with a pair of gray eyes, "Let's be prepared in the next two days."

Anzang thought for a moment: "I read Luo Defeng's transcript yesterday. It said that Shang Huaitong's state of mind has been broken and he can no longer use the Intention Sword?"

"It's okay. When Huansilou finds out, he's already in the trap." Wudong said.

Anzang nodded and was silent for a while: "But I still have one worry."

"Ok?"

"Have you ever thought about what if the person who comes here is someone who has completed the 'Xuanmen Ascension'?"

"An Sifeng thinks there will be a third-level grandmaster?" Wudong looked at him.

Anzang said nothing.

"Huan Shei Lou does have this kind of power in Shaolong." Wudong thought for a moment and closed the book, "But we haven't seen anything that would lead to their end in this case."

"It is precisely because we don't know anything that we are worried that it will seriously exceed expectations."

"Has An Sifeng asked Tianshan to recruit a third-level grandmaster?"

". First ask Wu Heqian for his opinion."

Wudong nodded slowly and smiled lightly: "In that case, there's no rush - anyway, there are ways to deal with the third level for the time being."

Not long after Anzang left Immortal Terrace and headed south, he opened the door of the Tianshan courtyard.

In the shade of the clear moon, under the tree, Shi Hanxue and Gu Yunfu sat at the table, looking through documents. Ink pens and ink were placed aside. There was also a two-lane map of Xilong Shaolong on the table, and the books were scattered one slice.

"Have you gained anything?" Anzang walked in with a smile.

"It's really difficult for senior brother and I to find any valuable writing in Bowang." Shi Hanxue raised her head and glanced at the senior uncle, "Is there another message from Xilong? The thing from Hushan Jianmen must be "

"Most likely." The doorposts, treetops, roof eaves, and Tianshan's secret-keeping formation formed a mysterious connection, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye. Anzang also sat down at the table and said with a smile, "Who said that I like to read idle books? Is there no use for unofficial history?"

Gu Yun smiled: "You really have nothing to say, and no one is talking about you."

Shi Hanxue opened her eyes at the side: "How did you trace it back?"

Anzang suppressed his smile and said in a lower voice: "Do you still remember the chapter on 'preventing stealing' that you memorized when you were a child?" As far as the mountain of Duomu, the king climbed it, and returned after a long time. Luan Cheng lost the jade, and three times When no one returned the warning, the king beheaded the daughter of the Ling family and the jade was found on the corpse.'"

After Anzang recited this chapter, he said: "When King Mu came back from a trip to the mountains, he lost something in his car parked at the foot of the mountain. You can identify the thief without asking or checking - [Zhaoyou] Look outside. Isn't this the principle?"

"so."

"So the legend of [Zhaoyou] is probably true. King Mu may have brought this magical weapon with him when he traveled to the west."

"How can we prove that it is the sword gate of Hushan?"

"It can't be said to be 'proof', but it does exist." Anzang unfolded the Tianshan message he had just received. "I have never seen this paragraph, but the sect's guide said it is credible: the time was after King Mu left Qunyu Mountain. Before the Palace of Secrets was built, there was a record in history that said, 'Ben Rong stole the king's sword, his followers lifted it up and killed him, and the body was given to Master Yan'."

"." Both Shi and Gu stopped writing.

"Really?" Anzang handed the letter to them, "Why did King Mu have to 'lift it up' this time before he knew who stole his sword?"

The two of them looked down at the letter.

"Therefore, for some unknown reason, King Mu left this prison instrument on the way. When the sword was stolen, he no longer had the instrument in his hand." An Zang said, "King Mu returned eastward, first south and then east. ——Six hundred miles south of Tianshan Mountain, that’s it.”

The man tapped on the map: "Today's Yangzhou."

"So that ancient legendary object is really this [Zhaoyou]?" Shi Hanxue thought together, "The 'Soul Seizing Pearl' really comes from the principle of the artifact 'Zhu Nei'?"

"It must be so."

Gu Yunfu looked at the two of them and interrupted: "Then do we want to take it? Is this thing important?"

Shi Hanxue smiled: "Senior Brother Gu has really stayed in Shenjing for a long time - how can anything related to King Mu be unimportant to Tianshan?"

Anzang also laughed: "It depends on how you compare - it is about as important as me, the second level of Xuanmen."

Gu Yun helped Hahaha: "I think it is just a prison weapon after all. Although it is very magical, it seems to have nothing to do with what Tianshan has been pursuing for generations."

"The truth is pieced together bit by bit with clues." Anzang sighed softly, "With this thing, we can trace the reason why King Mu left it behind. All the fragmentary and incomplete information about King Mu's Immortal Treasure till now is not like this. Did you recommend it?"

Gu Yun nodded and clasped his fists, Shi Hanxue thought for a while: "Uncle Master is coming back from the Immortal Platform, what should I say?"

Anzang chuckled: "The old vixen is very clever. Seeing that I am the only second-level person here, he didn't panic."

He also sighed: "The two paths of Immortal Terrace are so far apart that there is little contact on weekdays, but when a case occurs, they communicate and cooperate with each other and trust each other."

Shi Hanxue said: "Did they also find something in Xilong?"

"Where did you find out what?" Anzang smiled softly, "As soon as the word 'King Mu' was mentioned in this matter, the Immortal Terrace over there stopped working, and just followed Tianshan and kicked around, and couldn't even scold him. I can’t get rid of it.”

Gu Yun helped Haha: "Anyway, it's just such a thing. If it falls into their hands, just find a way to exchange it for it."

Anzang also nodded: "Yes, with such a big movement, I am always worried that things will become sensitive. Now, at least for the time being, it seems that the size is just right, and the few of us can handle it."

Shi Hanxue was silent for a while, and suddenly said with embarrassment: "But I told Pei Ye about [Zhaoyou] that day."

"?" Gu Yun tilted his head.

"My uncle told me as an anecdote that I happened to meet him when I was out that night, so I took him and made friends with him."

"Sigh." Gu Yunfu sighed softly, "I know why Junior Sister Shi has such a good reputation."

"?"

Gu Yun smiled and said: "I have been in Shenjing for a long time. When I came back to the mountain, people mentioned Fairy Anxiang. They said she was pure in heart, devoted to the Tao, and was a very kind person. I thought at that time that when I was a child, she was the most sensible and well-behaved person. , how come you are now 'pure in heart and indifferent to desires' - [Fei Qiong] Senior Sister Zuo is also dedicated to the Tao, why doesn't she have such a good reputation?"

"Later, when I put you and Junior Brother Shang together, I was even more surprised when I saw that the two of you could chat together——"

Shi Hanxue held her chin and smiled lightly: "Senior Sister Zuo and Junior Brother Shang can't they talk?"

"It's not just that we can't talk!" Gu Yun leaned back, "I'll be thankful if we don't start a fight!"

Both of them laughed, and Shi Hanxue said: "Senior Sister Zuo is a true Taoist genius. She doesn't care what others think of her." "Now this time down the mountain, Master Chuchi told me that Junior Sister Shi—— I also thought, what can someone like Junior Sister do when she goes down the mountain?" Gu Yunfu sighed, "Now that I have come to Bowang, I gave her a treasure pill that day and didn't even talk to her much. Junior Sister Shi got familiar with it first. Now - now I understand, it turns out it’s still as exquisite!”

"No way, isn't this a mistake?"

"What's wrong with this?" Gu Yun helped Haha, "No matter how cute and exquisite Junior Sister is, if she drags him back to Tianshan Mountain, won't he be one of our own? If not, Junior Sister will just 'carry a cage' for him and go back!"

"." Shi Hanxue smiled politely, "Senior brother's jokes are still as boring as ever."

"Sigh - Uncle, you see, it's true that I have no talent or status, and Junior Sister Shi is too lazy to deal with it."

----

Xiangzhou City, Bixiao Pavilion.

It was silent late at night, with only the pale moonlight covering the small pavilion in the backyard.

The door leaves were closed but not locked, firmly blocking out the moonlight, but not blocking anyone's gentle push.

Deep in the pavilion, the girl was still standing quietly holding a scroll.

Li Yiqing was stunned for a long time before he remembered that the name "Yu Chaocai" was the governor twenty years ago.

She didn't know much about this young official who died before she was born, but she knew that Bowang Prefecture was currently investigating the Xinpo case. Worried that her memory had gone awry, she tore out the pages and rolled them up in her hands. , then close the book and put it back.

The blue rose fire burned silently again, and the locks melted back into one body.

Li Mingqing once again carefully erased the traces of her presence, left the small room, and came to the pavilion.

She didn't leave in a hurry. Since Pei Ye confirmed that the owner was still in Qijiu City, she might as well try to find it in more detail.

Walking along the shelves to the calligraphy and painting section, Li Mingqing scanned up and down, trying to see if he could find an authentic painting by Dongfang Tian.

——She actually found one.

But it was a painting that had not appeared in the ledger before, nor was it on a shelf. Instead, it was placed on a table and chair for people to read, rolled up and laid flat there.

The girl opened the scroll, and the ink word on the top was "New Year's Eve Wine Notes".

The girl was startled and pulled away.

A large scroll with fine drawings.

Sure enough, it was New Year's Eve, and the painting showed a reunited family of five people in total. Even though the paper was old and the ink was old, it could not hide the warmth of the New Year's Eve.

In the middle is a woman in her twenties, with a beautiful and gentle appearance, and a bright red dot on her forehead. She looked out of the painting with a smile, holding a four or five-year-old boy in her left hand, and a one-year-old child who could just stand in her right hand, both wrapped like little rice dumplings.

Their biological mother was on the next floor. The woman in her forties looked pale and weak. Like many mothers, she was used to showing off her children as much as possible. She was hiding behind the painting with a faint smile, only revealing her lower half. A body.

The tall father is at the back, the only person in the whole painting who is not smiling. His face is solemn, with two steaming arms exposed in the snowy day, and a silver spear lying across his back, as if he had just been shot. Get through the body.

Li Mingqing was stunned for a while, remembering that the "County Chronicle" said that Dongfang Tian had lived alone since childhood, and did not mention that he had many family members.

Frowning and thinking, the girl slowly closed the scroll. She didn't dare to steal the painting if it was placed here.

Yes, why is it placed here?

The girl turned her head and took a look, then noticed the irregular object on the bookshelf next to the table, which looked like an upside down bowl.

This is not the location of the collection. Whoever put it here casually was thinking. The girl had already taken it in her hand and turned it around.

A scene.

The girl froze in place.

The silent moon fell through the window lattice, making the blue and white outline look even colder.

In such cold silence, the black cat suddenly straightened up and said, "Let's go quickly."

Li Mingqing turned her head in shock.

"Pei Ye said that the person we met at night was not Yi Nandai. That person is not in Qijiu City now."

"." Li Mingqing's heart clenched suddenly and she immediately put the mask back on, but at this moment, an extremely cold gaze fell on her back.

The warrior's keen intuition made the girl's back stiffen, as if cold ice flakes were pressed against her warm back, but it was colder and more sinister than that. Li Mingqing remained motionless, her hair standing on end.

The previously closed door leaf was now pushed open silently.

A figure stood in front of the door. Leng Yue cast his slender shadow into the pavilion until it was at the girl's feet. The cold pendant beside her ear swayed quietly on the ground.

"Who are you?" The man's indifferent voice struck the girl's clenched heart.

"Ah?" Li Mingqing suddenly turned around in shock, holding the scroll on the table behind her back, "Ah, you scared me - are you a nurse?"

Without waiting for the man to answer, Li Mingqing took a breath and raised the scroll in his hand with a smile: "Your boss lied to me and said that there is no authentic work by a Western master, but you don't know what it is?"

"Who are you?" the man repeated.

"Oh" Li Mingqing was startled for a moment and looked apologetic, "I am Li Mingqing, a disciple of Bowang Cuiyu. I will stay at your place tonight and take a walk around in the evening. I saw that there is no padlock in this attic, so I am a little curious. Feel sorry."

The man looked at her quietly, his extremely white face expressionless, and his eyes seemed to have been dug out of the sockets of a python.

Eight lives. Li Mingqing thought nervously.

He didn't even have a chance to draw his sword - he only needed one move to kill her.

Finally, the man walked slowly inside and went straight to the small pavilion where the private accounts were kept.

Li Mingqing tried not to hold her breath, but also tried to maintain a normal heartbeat.

After an unknown amount of time, the gentle footsteps sounded again, and the man walked out, his eyes still falling on her.

".I didn't take anything from your house." Li Mingqing showed a helpless smile.

He raised the scroll in his hand and said, "This doesn't count. I'm going to take it to your shopkeeper to settle the bill."

The man looked at her quietly: "Open it and take a look."

"." Li Mingqing's heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

In a hurry, a few pages torn from the account book were rolled in, and the exposed corners of the paper were still covered by her fingers.

"It was taken from that table." The girl pointed inside.

The man said nothing and the atmosphere became colder.

Suddenly there was a slight void under her fingers, and the girl immediately smiled helplessly, put the scroll in front of her, and slowly opened it toward the man.

"Look, this is it - this is the seal of Dongfang Tian."

The scroll unfolded slowly, and the characters soaked in time were slowly revealed in front of the man. Nothing fell out. In the scroll that had not yet been opened, film-like blue filaments covered the pages of account paper, silently and invisibly. , turning them into nothing but ashes.
