Shen Luo had already asked Guan Feng, Changpingfang is located in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, far away from Xuande Gate, and it takes quite a long time to get there.
He looked around at the shops along the street, looking for shops selling items related to cultivation.
After a while, the carriage had passed several streets, and all they saw were mortals, not a single cultivator. The goods in the nearby shops were still ordinary mortal items, and there was nothing related to cultivation.
"Guan Feng, it is said that Chang'an City is a holy land for cultivating immortals, and there are many people practicing Taoism. But why am I not able to see any cultivators after looking for a long time, and the shops on both sides only sell mortal goods?" Shen Luo asked.
"Master Immortal, you don't know that although Chang'an is known as the holy land of immortal cultivation in the Tang Dynasty, there is a difference between immortals and mortals after all. The court does not want those who cultivate immortals to have too much contact with ordinary people, so the West Market to the west of Chang'an City is separated out separately for the activities of all the immortal masters. If you need anything, you have to go there. You can't buy it anywhere else." Guan Feng said.
"So that's how it is." Shen Luo nodded and said no more.
The carriage rolled forward and ran for more than half an hour before stopping outside a remote alley.
"Master Immortal, we have arrived at Tiemaozi Hutong." Guan Feng said.
Shen Luo looked ahead and was slightly stunned.
The area in front of us is sparsely populated, and the roads are rarely maintained. The ground is covered with fallen leaves, which is completely different from other prosperous and bustling places in Chang'an City.
Most of the houses in the neighborhood locked their doors, and it was so quiet that almost no noise could be heard.
"Guan Feng, didn't you say that you are familiar with every place in Chang'an City and know this place? Why is it so deserted?" Shen Luo asked without going in immediately.
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, this place is very remote and I have rarely been here." Guan Feng said with some pride.
Shen Luo didn't care and walked in.
Changpingfang is quite large, and he was thinking about how to find Xie Yuxin.
An old man wearing a bamboo hat came towards them. Shen Luo had some thoughts in his mind and went up to him to ask about Xie Yuxin.
However, Shen Luo did not directly say Xie Yuxin's name, but only described her appearance.
When Xie Yuxin was at the Bai family, she stole the Bai family's secret skills. Now, I'm afraid she is still wanted by the government. Although this is Chang'an, we still have to be careful.
"A girl named Xie? Most of the people living in Changpingfang are rough men, and they haven't seen any girls." The old man thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Really? Sorry to bother you then." Shen Luo nodded and thanked him, then continued walking into the alley.
He asked several people in succession, and they all said that they had heard of the girl named Xie.
Shen Luo walked all the way to the deepest part of the town, where there was a simply built shack, but it was actually a crude blacksmith shop. A short and strong middle-aged man was swinging a hammer and hitting a piece of red-hot iron.
"Please come in, uncle." Shen Luo stepped forward and greeted him.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" The short and strong man stopped what he was doing.
"I'm here to look for a girl named Xie, about twenty years old, quite pretty. Do you know such a person?" Shen Luo asked.
"A woman with the surname Xie? Never heard of this person." The short and strong man said with a barely perceptible strangeness in his eyes when he heard this, and shook his head.
