Chapter 69 Meeting Again
Seeing the girl walking away, even though Liang Yan wanted the copybook in his heart, he had no choice but to give up. Stalking an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, even killing someone to seize the treasure, such a despicable thing, he asked himself, he still couldn't do it.
Liang Yan sighed secretly, no longer looking at the shopkeeper, and walked out of "Yuyuan Pavilion" with a puff of sleeves.
He turned left in the city, then turned again, and walked toward the west of the city. Not long after, he suddenly turned from the main road into a remote alley. Although this alley is winding and winding with no end in sight, judging from the lack of people here, it is probably a dead end.
However, Liang Yan kept walking and walked slowly towards the depths of the alley. Passing a corner, I saw a large black dog half as tall as a man blocking the road, lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.
Liang Yan smiled slightly, stepped over the black dog, and continued walking inside as if nothing had happened.
The black dog didn't seem to wake up, and was still sleeping on the ground. If this scene were seen by the street gangsters nearby, they would be so shocked that they would not be able to close their jaws.
Because usually no matter who walks by here, the dog will be furious. If it is said that it is really asleep, no one will believe it. Several times, people tried to pass by it while it was sleeping, but it jumped up and hurt them. Later, gradually no one came here anymore.
When Liang Yan passed by, the black dog just moved its nose, then turned over and continued sleeping.
Liang Yan walked along the alley for a while, and finally stopped in front of a house at the end. The house was in dilapidated condition, and even the wooden door outside was only symbolically left open. It was so dilapidated that it couldn't be closed.
He pondered for a moment at the door, then reached out and pushed open the ajar wooden door.
Squeak! Revealing the scene inside, I saw a wooden table in the yard, with a chair behind it. Lying on the chair was a middle-aged scholar, sipping a purple clay teapot with a leisurely expression.
As soon as the scholar saw someone pushing the door open, he immediately stood up from his chair and looked at Liang Yan up and down.
"Doubtful? Why doesn't this young man have any fluctuations in his cultivation level? Why does he look like a mortal? Well, never mind. Anyway, if he can pass the black dog level, he must not be an ordinary mortal. Maybe he has hidden cultivation. "
The scholar nodded to Liang Yan and said with a smile: "I am in charge of things here in Luquan. Do you dare to ask me your name?"
Liang Yan returned the smile and said, "I'm Liang Yan, a disciple of Yixing Pavilion." As he said this, he threw the array servant disciple token in his storage bag to the other party.
Lu Quan reached out to take it and glanced at it. He thought, "No wonder! He turns out to be a disciple of Yixing Pavilion. No wonder his supernatural powers are so powerful. Even I can't see through their reality."
He glanced at Liang Yan again, his attitude became more respectful and said: "It turns out that A disciple of the Shangzong arrived, and Lu was disappointed to meet him from afar. He felt ashamed! Fellow Daoist Liang is here for the purpose of guiding the road?”
Liang Yan nodded and said, “That’s right!” Come." After Lu Quan finished speaking, he handed the token back to Liang Yan, then turned and walked towards the back room.
Liang Yan didn't wait long outside when he saw Lu Quan coming out of the house with a talisman in his hand.
"Fellow Taoist Liang, you have been waiting for a long time. This is the guide for this Pingfeng Mountain Exchange Meeting. Each person has only one chance to receive it. Please keep it, Taoist Liang."
Liang Yan said He thanked him, took the talisman, and asked seemingly casually: "I wonder which treasures will be put up for auction at this exchange meeting."
Lu Quan said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I am only responsible for the distribution of road signs here. I really don't know the list of items in this auction, and these are generally not disclosed to the public."
"I see." Liang Yan nodded and said, "Does Fellow Daoist Lu know if 'Intoxicating Fragrance' is among the items in this auction?"
Lu Quan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with some uncertainty: "I have heard someone mention this 'Intoxicating Fragrance'. There is a high probability that it will be on the auction list. Besides, 'Intoxicating Fragrance' is a secret of Wenxiang Sect." Wenxiang Sect has also sent people to participate in the exchange meeting. It would be better for Fellow Daoist Liang to go to the mountain to inquire. Maybe he can get more accurate information? "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for the reminder!" Liang Yan thanked Lu Quan with a smile and turned around. Out of the yard.
Liang Yan walked on the streets of Pingfeng City and thought to himself: "There are still three days before the exchange meeting. I might as well go find this person from the Wenxiang Sect. If I can find someone from the Wenxiang Sect, Buying the 'Intoxicating Fragrance' before the auction can also avoid some twists and turns."
Last time, he and Tang Diexian Yongle Town and his party captured a lot of trophies. Although I haven't had time to sell it yet, the ready-made spiritual stones alone already cost more than a thousand yuan. It should not be difficult to buy the "Intoxicating Incense" at the auction. But auctions are inevitably risky, and no one can guarantee the final outcome.
Liang Yan thought about it and thought it would be best to communicate with the people of Wenxiang Sect in advance. Even if he loses everything, he still has to buy this thing. After all, this thing can be related to his life and death.
With this thought in mind, Liang Yan had already walked into a rather impressive restaurant on the street. After all, his current cultivation level is not enough and he is far from reaching the stage of inescaping. I plan to check out the Five Zang Temple here first before heading to the location of the exchange meeting.
Maybe it wasn’t noon yet, so there weren’t many people in the restaurant, so it seemed quite clean.
Liang Yan went straight to the second floor. There were even fewer people here. There were only two or three tables occupied in the huge place. He chose a quiet corner to sit down and ordered a few side dishes and a pot of tea from the waiter. .
He hadn't been sitting here for long when he suddenly heard the sound of stomping upstairs, and then an emerald green figure walked up.
"It's her!" Liang Yan's heart moved.
The visitor is none other than the little girl who "snatched love" in Yuyuan Pavilion before!
The girl didn't seem to notice him. She went straight to an empty table and sat down. After ordering two dishes in a low voice to the waiter who came over, she stopped making any sound. He was a thief, but he peeked at another table from time to time.
Liang Yan followed her gaze and looked towards the table, only to see three men drinking. These three people are all at the second level of Qi training. They are all dressed in blue and have the same style. They should be disciples of the same sect or force.
The exchange meeting on Pingfeng Mountain is about to be held. It is normal to meet a few cultivators in Pingfeng City at the foot of the mountain.
The three people toasted to each other, whispering to each other from time to time, exchanging something in a low voice. Several people obviously lowered their voices. Out of curiosity, Liang Yan tried his best to run the Hunhun Kung Fu, but he could only hear a few words and couldn't make out the reason at all.
Just when he shook his head and wanted to give up, he suddenly heard someone say "Wen Xiang Sect"
Liang Yan was shocked in his heart. He suppressed his impatience and tried his best to listen to the conversation of these three people. But the voices of these three people became lower and lower, and in the end they were almost inaudible.
“Are these three people disciples of the Wenxiang Sect?” A thought suddenly flashed through Liang Yan’s mind.
“Although I heard that some sects’ top skills are only suitable for women to practice, so most of the sects are women, it doesn’t mean that these sects don’t have male disciples. After all, not everyone can practice successfully. , some people spend their entire lives It's just the initial stage of Qi training, and these sects will also recruit some male disciples as handymen."
The more Liang Yan thought about it, the more likely it was, and he couldn't help but feel happy. It takes no effort at all. Unexpectedly, as soon as he planned to go to Wenxiang Sect, the other party would come to his door.
Liang Yan was so happy that he couldn't help but pour himself a cup of fragrant tea and sip it carefully.
But before he could swallow, his eyebrows suddenly raised and his eyes glanced forward. The girl in green clothes had already stood up and left the table before the food was served. She passed by the table of the three people in blue clothes. The cuff of her right hand seemed to be shaking slightly, and then she went downstairs from the other side as if nothing had happened.
Of course, this small movement could not be concealed by Liang Yan, who had keen senses. But even Liang Yan couldn't tell what she had done. He just frowned slightly and looked in the direction the girl was leaving with a puzzled expression.
