After reading my mind, all the villains in the family are in trouble

Going north from Chaomen Village is the Wind Howling Forest where Ning Zhishui originally went, and going south is the Fire Valley.

A long way to the east, you can reach Luohua City, where the monks live. Although this city is very small and shabby, it is at least a safe zone for the monks. It is no longer the place where monsters roam freely like the training ground.

When you go to the neighboring city of Luohua City, you can take the teleportation array to go elsewhere.

Ning Zhishui had already learned about these things from his aunt.

On the surface, Ning Zhishui was walking towards the north, but in fact she turned to the east before walking very far.

Picking a tree with the thickest trunk and the densest leaves, Ning Zhishui jumped on it lightly, then lay on it and waited patiently.

By this time, it was evening.

There was a man with a sword on his waist. He walked out of Chaomen Village in a hurry and headed east.

It was the old cow who wanted to give the beads to Guanshi Qu!

Lao Niu was originally going to deliver it yesterday, but Ning Zhishui tampered with it and fell ill.

But today the Qin envoy hired a doctor for him, and after taking the medicine, he was able to go out to work again.

Ning Zhishui followed this person, keeping a certain distance.

Lao Niu was a man with a big heart. He didn't realize anyone was following him along the way. He didn't even look back, he just hurried on.

Ning Zhishui followed him to Luohua City, then to a neighboring city, and then took the teleportation array one after another to Chengyang City.

Nanfeng Village, where Guanshi Qu is located, is just south of Chengyang City, but from the looks of Lao Niu, Ning Zhishui probably didn't go to Nanfeng Village to look for Guanshi Qu, and Guanshi Qu came to Chengyang City to look for him.

Lao Niu found a restaurant and ate his meal while quietly waiting for someone after sending a message to Manager Qu.

After more than half an hour, Guanshi Qu arrived.

Ning Zhishui sat opposite and watched the two people talking and eating face to face.

As early as when Manager Qu arrived, Ning Zhishui silently took out a talisman and put it on the palm of his hand.

The talisman turned transparent after touching it, and the light with spiritual energy flashed away.

This talisman seal only has the lower half. At a glance, you can tell that it is a "two-in-one" talisman seal, that is, a talisman seal is divided into two halves, and only two halves can be attached to the person before use.

When this half of Ning Zhishui was activated, Lao Niu's back dimly lit up, and then everything returned to normal.

There were people coming and going in the restaurant, but no one stared at Lao Niu. Even if they did, they would just think it was the change in the light outside or their own eyesight, without suspecting anything.

But for Ning Zhishui, it was different.

She was obviously just drinking tea with her head down, but the clear sound of conversation came to her ears.

"...Guanshi Qu, everything has been done in Chaomen Village. The villagers will make offerings every two days. This is the power of the incense accumulated in these days."

"Well, it went well. You can leave in a few days."

This talisman was secretly placed on Lao Niu by Ning Zhishui while he was sleeping at night when he was following him. Since his half had not been posted, Lao Niu's half was not really activated.

Now that this half of my body has been transformed by spiritual energy, the talisman can really take effect.

"Well, there's one more thing..."

"What's the hesitation about?"

"Lao Xu is missing." Lao Niu said cautiously.

"what?!"

Ning Zhishui raised his head. The voice of Manager Qu on the opposite side suddenly rose, and he couldn't control it. It was so loud that even his own side could faintly hear it.

He probably also knew that what he was talking about now should not be known to others, so he immediately lowered his voice and said, "What's going on? Please tell me in detail."

"We don't know either. He was still there during the day and behaved as usual. Apart from drinking and some quarrels with Brother Qin these days, there is nothing wrong..."

"But he has obviously been a little restless these past few days. His eyes sparkle when he looks at women, but he still doesn't look down on the women in the village... After the incident, Brother Qin and I were both frightened. We searched for him for a day and even talked to the villagers. I’ve asked everyone, but no one has seen him in the village.”

"Brother Qin asked me to ask you, did he take your private mission and leave the village?"

Ning Zhishui's eyes flashed.

Lao Niu didn't mention himself?

Also, these words may seem normal, but they are actually a covert complaint!

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he said in his words that Lao Xu didn't work well, either drank or missed women. He disappeared for no reason this time, probably because he couldn't hold back and went out to the village to have fun!
Manager Qu asked some more details, and Lao Niu answered honestly, but the first sentence was not conducive to Lao Xu.

However, these words were all his "personal guesses". Even if Lao Xu came back alive in the future, Qin Shi and the others would not be blamed.

Manager Qu was very angry after hearing this.

"What does Lao Qin do for food? You guys can make people disappear!"

"Guanshi Qu, you also know that Lao Xu and Brother Qin have never been on good terms, and you gave the matter of collecting incense to Brother Qin... That's why Lao Xu is always going against Brother Qin."

"I know about this. When you go back, continue to look for someone. If you find someone, let me know."

"Hey, I got it. Manager Qu, will you be in Nanfeng Village next time?"

"I won't be able to stay here for a few days. In two days, the master will leave the collection of spiritual blood to me." When he said the word "spiritual blood", his voice was very vague, and only the two of them could hear it. "At that time The affairs regarding Incense may have to be left to the envoy of Qin for the time being."

"Isn't the spiritual blood enough?" Lao Niu's voice also became lower.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask."

"Yes, I am guilty."

"Okay, let's go back after eating. I still have to go back to Nanfeng Village."

Manager Qu wiped his mouth, put down the crystal, stood up and left.

He probably gave a lot of crystal stones. When Lao Niu saw it, his eyes lit up and he quickly stuffed them into his arms.

After spending such a long time in the village, not to mention Lao Xu, even Lao Niu felt suffocated, but it wasn't because of female sex.

So after eating, he did not leave in a hurry, but wandered around the city.

Guanshi Qu went to the city to buy some things after he left, and then he was about to leave the city.

At this time, a female cultivator in black with her face covered ran past him anxiously, knocking him so hard that he almost fell to the ground!
He was about to curse, but the female cultivator had already run away, which made Manager Qu curse, so he had to leave with a sullen face.

Ning Zhishui, a female nun in black, didn't look back or stop after running. She didn't stop until she entered the next street.

Then, he walked towards the teleportation array.

Lao Niu wandered around the city for a while before going to the teleportation array.

After leaving Luohua City, the desolate scenery came into view, which made Lao Niu sigh.

When will this day end?
