The Tsing Yi guy saw the token, his face showed a slight shock, but he disappeared in a flash, and said nonchalantly:
"Although your brand looks good, you have to go through the shopkeeper to determine its value."
"Just take it." Liu Ming's eyes flashed and waved.
After taking a deep look at Liu Ming, the Tsing Yi guy trot to the inner courtyard of the shop with the sign in both hands.
Not long after, the Tsing Yi guy ran out again, handed the token back to Liu Ming respectfully, and then bowed:
"Guest, the shopkeeper invites you in."
Liu Ming took the token back to his waist without moving, got up and beckoned to Sha Chuer, then motioned to the Tsing Yi man to lead the way.
Not long after, the Tsing Yi guy led the two into the inner courtyard and into the innermost room.
In the room, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper stood in it, his gaze fell on Liu Ming, and then he looked at Sha Chu'er standing aside, his gaze revealed inquiries.
"It's okay. Although this is not a disciple, he is a good friend of mine." Liu Ming said lightly.
Only then did the middle-aged respectfully salute, saying:
"Qin Wu, a disciple of foreign affairs from Taiqingmen, has met Brother Liu."
Sha Chu'er took off the cloak on her head, a hint of surprise flashed across her face.
The shop here is a secret contact point of Taiqingmen in Nanming City!
As the four great Taizong of the human race, Taiqing Gate has existed in the Zhongtian Continent for many years. There are many bright and dark strongholds in various places in the Zhongtian Continent to collect and transmit information and so on.
Occasionally, there will be disciples like Liu Ming who come here by chance and come here to directly seek help or ask for some information.
As far as Liu Ming knows, there are no fewer than ten strongholds in the mortal city near Xuanmeng Mountain, and in various cities. Even if some of them have been exposed, Ouyang Family will pretend to be ignorant.
After all, all major sect families would do similar things. The Ouyang family also had a stronghold of a similar nature near Wanling Mountain. The major forces knew it well and would not take the initiative to expose them.
Now that he wanted to investigate the matter of the Ouyang family, Liu Ming naturally thought of this.
"Senior brother is here this time, I don't know how the brother can help me?" The middle-aged man asked with a straight face after giving a salute.
"I want to inquire about all the news about a person named Ouyang Ming in the Ouyang family." Liu Ming asked straightforwardly.
"Ouyang Ming!"
The man on the other side was slightly shocked when he heard the words, looked at Liu Ming in surprise, and continued to speak: "I didn't expect Senior Brother Liu to know this person, but it was a little bit beyond my expectation."
Liu Ming was silent when he heard the words, but a little excitement appeared on Sha Chu'er's face.
"You go outside and guard first." With a dignified look on the face of the middle-aged person, he waved his hand to the Tsing Yi guy who was waiting by the side.
The Tsing Yi guy knew, the middle-aged man and Liu Ming from the North Korean side bowed and saluted, then retired, and lightly closed the door of the room.
On the other hand, the middle-aged man walked to a cabinet by the side of the room, and after tumbling in it for a while, he took out a book-like book.
"Ouyang Ming, a direct disciple of the 28th generation of the Ouyang family, has roots in the earth, is talented, advanced to the condensate realm at the age of 16, advanced to the crystal at the age of 33, and entered the Linying Pavilion of the clan at the age of 37. The core disciple condensed the real pill when he was less than a hundred years old. After that, there was not much information collected. It seems that this person has disappeared. But forty years ago, this person reappeared, and the entire Ouyang family surrounded this person. There was a great riot. Since then, there has been no news of this person. Life and death are still unknown." The middle-aged Fang turned to one of the pages and said slowly.
After finishing reading, the middle-aged person in the aspect handed the booklet to Liu Ming.
On the first line of the booklet, there are three big characters written in thick ink of Ouyang Ming, and many records about Ouyang Ming are recorded in small letters below.
Liu Ming took a close look at it for a while. Most of the records above were his life experiences before he achieved the True Pill, but he didn't see anything related to the Southern Wilderness, and finally wrote the four characters of life and death with a Zhu pen.
Liu Ming slowly put down the booklet, took a look at Sha Chuer, and the voice transmission asked:
"Forty years ago, didn't it?"
"As Brother Liu had guessed, my father is indeed the indifferent who left more than 40 years ago." Sha Chu'er bit her lips slightly, and the sound transmission replied.
Liu Ming nodded secretly in his heart. It seemed that after leaving the desert, Ouyang Ming had once returned to the Xuanmeng Mountain Range and had a conflict with the Ouyang Family for some unknown reason. In addition, although this booklet records that this life and death is unknown, in Liu Ming's view, this Ouyang Ming's disappearance is absolutely inseparable from the Ouyang family, and it may even have been killed by the Ouyang family or imprisoned.
"These news alone are not enough. I need to know more specific information. It would be better if I could know the whereabouts of this person." Liu Ming put down the booklet and said calmly to the middle-aged person.
"We only have these records about this person here. If the brother wants more information, I am afraid it will take some time, and it will take some special expenses..." The middle-aged person hesitated before hesitated. .
"These should be enough, I only need to find out the person's situation as soon as possible." Liu Ming flipped over and took out a heavy cloth bag, threw it over, and said lightly.
On the one hand, the middle-aged man reached out and took the cloth bag, opened it and glanced at it, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he nodded and said:
"Senior Brother Liu, don't worry, it only takes three days at most."
Liu Ming smiled when he heard the words, and said nothing.
Next, he didn't stay here for a long time. Naturally, he didn't have to worry about the middle-aged people taking the Lingshi and not doing anything. Dang Even and Sha Chuer left the pawn shop.
"Miss Sand, the shop here is a stronghold of my Taiqingmen. Although it is not too secret, don't let it out to others if it is not necessary." After leaving the pawnshop, Liu Ming walked towards the east of the city and said slowly.
"Brother Liu, don't worry, although the little girl has a shallow knowledge, she still acts appropriately, so she won't do things like this." Sha Chuer's beautiful eyes flashed a hint of gratitude, and said very seriously. .
Liu Ming chuckled twice. If he hadn't understood Sha Chu'er's character, he wouldn't have brought this girl here rashly.
It didn't take long for the two to come to an inn in the east of the city and enter the two upper rooms respectively.
Ye Hao was obediently staying in Liu Ming's room, still silently reciting the formula Liu Ming gave him.
For three days without incident, at noon on the fourth day, Liu Ming and Sha Chuer left again and went to the pawn shop.
"Two guest officials, please." When the Tsing Yi guy saw the two, his eyes lit up, and he pretended to take them into the backyard as if nothing had happened. The middle-aged Qin Wu had already been there at this moment.
"Brother Qin, how is the investigation going?" Liu Ming asked lightly.
"There are some gains, but the progress is not too great." Qin Wu sighed and said frankly while inviting the two into the secret room.
"Oh? Let's just talk about it." Liu Ming asked.
"Through some secret methods, I didn’t get too much relevant information, and I didn’t find out Ouyang Ming’s whereabouts, but he found a reclusive place where he was very close to his clan brother before. Perhaps I can find out about Ouyang Ming from it. Other information." Qin Wu raised his hand and handed a piece of jade slip to Liu Ming, and said in a one-to-one manner.
"Oh, it turned out to be such a result." Liu Ming took Yu Jian with one hand, frowning.
When Sha Chu'er on the side heard this, the hands in his sleeves clenched into fists, and there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.
Liu Ming saw Sha Chu'er's expression in his eyes, secretly sighed, and then put the jade slip on his forehead. It really recorded some information about Ouyang Ming before his disappearance, and his clan brother now lives in seclusion. Exact address.
…
More than half a day later, beyond a hidden valley more than a hundred miles away from the Xuanmeng Mountain Range, two rays of black and yellow fell.
After the light flashed, the figures of Liu Ming and Sha Chuer appeared.
"It's here?" Sha Chuer murmured as she stood outside the valley, and after a slight glance, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
The valley is just a thriving wilderness, and there is no shadow of any buildings.
"This is an illusion technique. The arrangement is quite ingenious. It can hide the mana fluctuations. It seems that the monks who live here should be good at this." Liu Ming's eyes faintly blacked out, and after a moment of indulgence, he twisted his fingers. , A fireball the size of a human head shot out.
There was a wave of ripples in the air deep in the valley, and the fireball was swallowed in with a bang.
Along with the waves in the valley, all the scenery shook for a while, like a stone being dropped on the calm water.
"Brother Liu is so insightful!" Seeing this, Sha Chuer's eyes flashed with admiration.
"Ms. Sand has lived in the indifference for a long time, and she usually encounters sand beasts. She doesn't see much about the ban on illusion, and it is not surprising that she can't find it." Liu Ming waved his hand and smiled softly.
At this moment, before the fluctuations in the valley dissipated, a faint blue light appeared, one of the corners was torn apart, and in a flash, a young man in a pale yellow robe flew out, standing still. Later, he looked at Liu Ming with a vigilant expression.
"Who are you guys, dare to break into my Zixuan Villa!"
Liu Ming's gaze moved, the young man in yellow robe in front of him had only the cultivation base of the late stage of the liquid condensate. Facing them, the two crystal cultivators did not show the slightest timidity. He immediately said loudly:
"This fellow Daoist, the two of us didn't mean to offend. We just wanted to see Senior Ouyang Kui if we had something to do. Please let us know."
"En? How do you know that my father is living in seclusion here? Who are you?" The Huangpao youth was startled when he heard the words, and his face changed sharply and shouted.
Liu Ming frowned, thinking about how to speak more tactfully, but suddenly a slightly older voice came from the valley.
"Xianer, don't be rude!"
As soon as the voice fell, the blue light in the valley swayed for a while, showing the shape of a door, and an old man in yellow robe flew out of it.
