,.
Seeing Niu Youdao and others taking the package and leaving, Cui Yuan followed them and wandered near the lobby.
After watching the clerk take Niu Youdao and others to the direction of the secret passage, Cui Yuan confirmed that the situation had changed. Niu Youdao did not act separately from Hei Mudan and others, but checked out and left together.
Cui Yuan groaned secretly in his heart and quickly left the inn.
Bai Yulou, who was sitting behind the counter, glanced at Cui Yuan's leaving figure with a wait-and-see attitude, wondering whether Xuanyuan Dao could escape the Liuxian Sect's pursuit.
It’s just that he can’t understand. If Xuanyuan Dao really has a grudge against the Liuxian Sect and really wants to get rid of the Liuxian Sect’s pursuit, he can leave secretly on his own. Wouldn’t it be safer? Why should he take Liuxian with him? The Immortal Sect is sneaking around Black Mudan and others
He quickly rushed to the Liuxian Sect store. As soon as Cui Yuan entered the store, he immediately shouted to Huang Enping who was guarding behind the counter: "Brother, the situation has changed."
Huang Enping behind the counter stood up and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Cui Yuan walked to the counter and said with an anxious look on his face: "Niu Youdao and Hei Mudan checked out of the room together. They did not leave separately. They left together through the secret passage of Yaoyue Inn."
Huang Enping: "What's going on with Lei Zongkang? Didn't I contact you in advance?"
Cui Yuan shook his head: "No, if I hadn't stared and seen it with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't have known they were gone."
Huang Enping's face darkened, "Is it possible that Lei Zongkang is playing tricks on us?"
Cui Yuan: "It doesn't look like it. Lei Zongkang should understand the consequences of playing tricks on us. If he was really playing tricks on us, Niu Youdao should have known about it and left secretly. Why should he go around and take risks until now? And Lei Zongkang Kang gave me a look when he left, and he seemed helpless, as if Niu Youdao had changed his mind temporarily and he had no time to inform us."
Huang Enping frowned: "Did Lei Zongkang be exposed?"
Cui Yuan hesitated and said: "It doesn't look like it. If Lei Zongkang is really exposed, why would Niu Youdao take him with him? He can just leave and escape secretly, so why should he bring trouble around him?"
As a result, when the two of them thought about it, there seemed to be only one possibility. Niu Youdao himself was too cautious and deliberately created a lot of deceptions to prevent his whereabouts from being leaked.
"This beast is indeed cunning!" Huang Enping said bitterly.
"What should I do over there, Uncle Master?" Cui Yuan asked, a bit dumbfounded.
Huang Enping also had a big head. If Niu Youdao did this, Shanhu County would probably be a cover-up and he would not go there at all. However, the uncle personally took action and gathered people from the three sects and rushed to Shanhu County to arrange it at night. It has been almost five hours since we set out. When the news came here, it was a joke for people to rush back to search. Niu Youdao had already disappeared without knowing where he had gone.
Niu Youdao had already left through the secret passage of Yaoyue Inn. With just the two of them, trying to find Niu Youdao in the vast mountains was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was impossible. No matter how many times more people were there, it would be difficult.
However, no matter what, we still have to inform our uncle about the situation, and let our uncle decide what to do.
A secret report was quickly written here and Golden Wings was sent out.
After doing all this urgently, Huang Enping sat down on the chair and sighed: "It's easy to know what Lei Zongkang's condition is, just to see if he can spread the 'scent bait' to inform the news."
Cui Yuan also sat down beside him. At this point, the two of them were helpless. They could only wait for the decision from their uncle, or place their hope in Lei Zongkang...
In the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, the general manager Xiang Ming is not like a housekeeper, but like a gardener. In short, Baiyulou can often see him personally trimming the flowers and plants in the garden with a pair of scissors, and this is the case before his eyes.
"gone?"
After hearing Bai Yulou's report, Xiang Ming stopped pruning and slowly turned around to look at him, seemingly a little surprised.
Bai Yulou bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I just left through the secret passage. The clerk confirmed it with his own eyes."
Xiang Ming was silent. He originally thought that Niu Youdao was approaching Sha Huanli on purpose. He looked on coldly and dared to pay attention to Sha Huanli. He was really ignorant. He wanted to see what this reckless guy wanted to play. , who knew that the other party had no intention of getting close to him, and directly asked for a sum of money, and now he left directly.
"It seems that I am overly concerned." Xiang Minglue laughed at himself.
Bai Yulou smiled and said, "It's always right to be cautious."
Xiang Ming: "What is the origin of this person?"
Bai Yulou: "I talked to him, but he refused to reveal his true identity, but Liuxian Sect is obviously not good for him. If the manager wants to know, he should be able to understand by asking Liuxian Sect."
Xiang Ming glanced at him and said, "I heard that he gave you a lot of benefits?"
Bai Yulou's heart tightened, knowing that the matter would be spread to the other party's ears, he chuckled and said: "My subordinate saw that the city lord liked his paintings, and was worried that the city lord would summon him, so he made some suggestions, but he was very generous. , Don’t give up, and I didn’t refuse. Don’t worry, manager, I understand the rules. We have a transcendent status in Star Reaching City and we won’t easily get involved in messy things. My subordinates will keep this in mind.”
"It's good to know. If you need money, just say something, and don't stretch out your hand that shouldn't be stretched out, otherwise no matter how much money you have, you won't be able to buy peace." Xiang Ming said lightly, turned around and continued to prune the flowers and grass...
Wow! Figures of figures emerged from the rapid river and landed on the bank. It was Niu Youdao and others.
Niu Youdao and the others were okay, but Yuanfang was soaked to the skin, dripping with water, and his cultivation was not enough to withstand the squeeze of the water for too long.
Locating his location based on several high mountains in the distance, Niu Youdao found a direction and led a few people through the mountains quickly.
While running, Lei Zongkang twisted a particle the size of a soybean in his hand, crushed the wax, and dropped it on the ground calmly while running.
As the group walked away, the small particles that fell on the ground were changed by the wind. The surface became slightly rough, weathered, and gave off a faint fragrance.
The mountains were cut out horizontally, and in front of us was the endless Gobi desert, with a horse farm faintly visible in the distance.
This racecourse is not the same one when Niu Youdao came, because monks come from all directions, and Star Reaching City has racecourses in several directions around it.
Don't underestimate these horse farms. In fact, the profit of each horse farm is not lower than that of Yaoyue Inn. Because there are many monks riding here, the horses are abandoned at the horse farm. Many monks will not return the same way and store them in the horse farm. The horses were almost given to the racecourse for free.
If the horse is stored for a long time, the storage fee will be higher than the cost of buying the horse, and basically no one will come back to redeem their horse.
For example, Niu Youdao now has no intention of getting back his horse from the racecourse when he came back, but leads people towards the racecourse here.
Arriving at the racecourse, there were many abandoned horses, so they didn’t have to worry about buying any. Six people bought six horses and rumbled out of the racecourse, running all the way to the depths of the Gobi.
Black Peony and others on horseback looked at each other from time to time. They had agreed earlier that they would not come to the racecourse to pick up the horses, but would walk on foot. No need to ask anymore, Dao Master's plan has obviously changed again.
I looked at the direction I was going and found that it was not the direction of Shanhu County at all. I didn’t know if I was going to take a detour or if Shanhu County was just a cover. Before setting off, I reiterated that I was going to Shanhu County. Anyway, the group was betrayed by Niu Youdao. I was a little confused after repeating it over and over again.
In short, Black Mudan and others also understood along the way, don't ask, I will tell you what I need to tell you, otherwise you won't get anything out of me.
Niu Youdao's capriciousness, changing his plans again and again, made Lei Zongkang gradually become uneasy. What did Niu Youdao mean by being so cautious? Did he discover something
In the Liuxian Sect shop, the helpless two brothers sat there in a daze. They could only wait. Cui Yuan had already returned to Yaoyue Inn and checked out the room.
From a birdcage hanging under the beam, a burst of chirping suddenly came from the birdcage. The two brothers looked back suddenly and saw three green-feathered birds jumping up and down in the cage. .
The name of this bird is: Xunxiang!
The two men suddenly turned around and looked at each other, and both blurted out: "Lei Zongkang!"
They stood up together, and Cui Yuan said a little anxiously: "Brother, what should we do? By the time uncle and the others come back, the effectiveness of the scented bait will have evaporated long ago."
Huang Enping said in a deep voice: "We can't let that guy run away, let's go find him!"
Cui Yuan grabbed him and said, "Senior brother, even if Lei Zongkang is on our side, the attitudes of Black Mudan and the other three are not clear. Plus Niu Youdao, there are five of them. Just pick two out and entangle them." There is a possibility that Niu Youdao could escape, can we be sure if we two run away?"
Huang Enping said decisively: "Go to the left-behind personnel of Fuyun Sect and Lingxiu Mountain. They will definitely help. Otherwise, if the three sects can't intercept that guy together, they won't be able to afford the shame."
Cui Yuan waved his hands and said, "No one is watching, what should I do with the things in the shop? The things here are worth a lot of money!"
Huang Enping: "It's too late to clean up. Put a sign saying "out of business" on the door and close the door. No one dares to break in. If you really want to sit back and ignore it like a piece of wood and let the cattle thieves run away, the teacher will question your ability and mine. , the future is worrying!"
Cui Yuan thought about it. Outsiders didn't know what was going on inside, and they wouldn't break into a sect's shop without permission.
The two of them quickly prepared, caught the fragrant bird in the cage, took the golden wings with them, closed the door and hung a sign indicating that they were out of business and left.
The two found the shops of Fuyun Sect and Lingxiu Mountain. After a while, the two shops were listed and closed one after another.
The group gathered six people and quickly left Star Reaching City. When they came to the mountains outside, Cui Yuan released the fragrant bird.
I saw the fragrant bird circling in the air and flying quickly in one direction. The six people immediately followed it.
The people below are restricted by the terrain, and if they are unable to catch up, Cui Yuan will take out a piccolo and play "di di" in his mouth, and the fragrant bird will land and wait.
When everyone arrived, the piccolo sounded and the bird took off quickly again.
It didn't take long for the group to find the first discarded scented bait. The scent-seeking bird jumped on the ground, took it into its mouth and swallowed it. It jumped happily and seemed to like eating it very much.
Huang Enping and others saw that the scented bait was located not far from the river. They became more confident and continued to follow it. ,.
