"Hey, Little Seventh Brother, why didn't Lai Fengshuang say hello to my brother in advance, so I can arrange eight big sedan chairs to pick you up."
On the arch bridge, a rough man ran towards Xiao Qi while waving his hands.
"Haha, Brother Li Qiang, let's not engage in such nonsense between us brothers. Instead of bringing me eight big sedan chairs, why don't you invite me to drink eight bowls of drunken mortals?"
"Haha, you have to, you have to, as long as Xiao Qi wants to drink, Drunk Hongchen is enough."
While talking, Shi Liqiang came up and gave Xiao Qi a big hug.
After embracing, Shi Liqiang let go of Xiao Qi and said, "Brother Xiao Qi, why are you in such a hurry to find me?"
"Naturally, you will come to brother Liqiang if you want to get rich."
After Xiaoqi finished speaking, he took out a silver leaf from his pocket and threw it at Shi Liqiang.
Stretching out his hand to grab the silver leaf, Shi Liqiang took the silver leaf and glanced over it, saying: "It's so bright, Seventh Brother, your shots are getting wider and wider now."
"Five of these silver leaves, do brother a favor."
"Five pieces?" Shi Liqiang stared, then frowned and said, "Brother Xiao Qi wants to make a big deal?"
Shi Liqiang could feel the value of this silver leaf by touching it, so when Xiao Qi said that he was willing to give five pieces as a reward, his first reaction was not surprise, but that something troublesome was coming.
After all, the price is too high, enough to...
Buy several lives.
"It's indeed a big event, but it's not what you think." Xiao Qi took out the map that Jiang Beiran had marked and spread it out for Shi Liqiang to see, "Brother Liqiang, you know all the places above."
Shi Liqiang glanced at it and replied, "Aren't these places where there are rumors of secret realms in our county?"
"That's right." Xiaoqi nodded, and then pointed to the northwest of Fengshuangcheng: "Wuligou, have you seen any important people coming recently? Or have there been any conflicts?"
Shi Liqiang stared at the map and thought for a while, then replied: "It seems that there were several groups of people from the Scarlet Sun Sect in the first ten days, but I don't know if they came to find the secret realm."
"It's good if you have a clue, then I'd like to ask brother Liqiang to help me find out what happened in Wuligou."
When Shi Liqiang heard it, he suddenly realized: "No wonder Brother Seven is willing to pay such a high price. You have a wide range of opportunities now, and you dare to intervene in the affairs of practitioners?"
"It's all for eating, how about it, brother Liqiang, can you help me?"
"This... Brother Seven, you also understand the rules of our business, can you let me think about it?"
If five silver leaves of such quality are used on ordinary people, they will definitely be enough, but when it comes to cultivators, Shi Liqiang hesitates. After all, they are just a group of ordinary people, and ordinary people can still enjoy it. , but if you offend a cultivator, if you are not careful, you will end up being wiped out.
"Eight pieces, if Brother Liqiang still can't take it, then I can only find someone else to try."
Without giving Shi Liqiang a chance to consider, Xiaoqi directly raised the price and said that he had other partners.
"This... okay! For the sake of your little Seventh Brother, I'll do it!" Facing the temptation of the eight silver leaves, Shi Liqiang finally slapped his hands and agreed.
"Cheer up! Since brother Liqiang gave me Xiaoqi face so much, then I can't treat you badly. I'll give you two more silver leaves, and I'll trouble you to gather people to check all the other places in Huangping County that have rumors of secret realms. Anything related to cultivation I want any news about that.”
"Come on! It's easy to handle, thank you Brother Seven for taking care of me."
Compared with specifically investigating the whereabouts of a certain sect, it is much easier to just investigate those places with rumors of secret realms. These two silver leaves can be said to be free.
"When do you want the news?" Shi Liqiang asked.
"Within three days, the sooner the better."
"Okay, wait for you." Shi Liqiang patted Xiaoqi on the shoulder after he finished speaking, and left the arch bridge.
After Shi Liqiang disappeared into the crowd, Xiaoqi quickly returned to the Qiuzihao box in the restaurant.
At this moment, Lin Yuyan had just finished her meal and was looking at the scenery outside the window.
"Sister-in-law, the matter has already been investigated, and there will definitely be news within three days." After entering the box, Xiao Qi cupped his hands.
Lin Yuyan nodded: "Okay, I will pass the news on to my brother."
Cupping her hands together again, Xiao Qi said again: "In addition, I have already booked a Tianzi size room for you at the Qingrong Inn. If you feel tired, you can go directly to rest there."
"understood."
"Then I'll go and inquire around and find out about this as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's go."
"Farewell, little brother."
When Xiao Qi left, Lin Yuyan took out his waist card and said: "Brother, Xiao Qi said that he has already started to investigate."
"Understood." Jiang Beiran's voice came from the waist card.
'Ah~ I have a sound transmission with my senior brother again. Is this a sweet newlywed life? Is it too happy. '
Picking up the waist card and rubbing it on her face again, Lin Yuyan began to think about the manpower she could mobilize in Huangping County.
Three days later, Xiaoqi waited for Shi Liqiang again on the arch bridge.
"It's all cleared up." Shi Liqiang said with his hands on the handrail of the arch bridge.
"Let's talk about Wuligou first." Xiaoqi, who was leaning on the handrail, responded.
"Chirizong's resignation is because another vision occurred in Wuligou. This is the news that I have spent a lot of effort to find out."
"A vision happened again?" Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and he felt that the matter was already very close.
"Be specific."
"Ten days ago, there was water from the sky in Wuligou, which brought great luck."
"It's colorful awns and Tianshui again. This Wuligou is really a blessed place."
Although he has never seen Tianshui, Xiaoqi has heard it many times. In fact, it is raining in this sky, but it is a bit special. This rain only falls in a small area and will stop soon. Rumors People who have experienced it personally say that the heavenly water is like rain, which makes people rejuvenate.
"Is the news reliable?" Xiao Qi asked again.
"Guaranteed to be reliable." After speaking, Shi Liqiang looked around, gestured to Yuanfang with his eyes, and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, so go to my house and talk about it."
"it is good."
After a while, Xiaoqi followed Shi Liqiang to his humble little home.
"The house is chaotic, sit wherever you want." Shi Liqiang said to Xiao Qi after opening the door.
"Brother Liqiang is really a cunning rabbit, but you are too broken. I think you simply catch two more spiders to weave two webs. It looks more like a poor family." Looking at the old furniture in the hut , Xiaoqi couldn't help joking.
"Hahaha, Brother Seven, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry you are. I'm not as prosperous as you are. There are a lot of brothers under my hand who are waiting for me to feed. There is such a small family. I managed to save it from between my teeth."
Xiao Qi smiled after hearing this, and didn't discuss this topic too much, just found a chair and sat down and asked, "Is it convenient to talk now?"
With a straight look, Shi Liqiang nodded and said: "My subordinates found out that when the Tianshui fell in Wuligou that day, there happened to be practitioners from the Scarlet Sun Sect passing by. In order to prevent the news from spreading, they killed all the people around who witnessed this. gone."
"Hiss..."
Xiao Qi gasped when she heard this, although it sounded like something that practitioners could do, she still felt a little creepy.
"Brother Liqiang, your news is...
"This kind of large-scale massacre will always have some fish that slip through the net. I found one of them. After he escaped by chance, he hid at home every day. I asked about it after one of my brothers discovered his abnormality."
"Brother Li Qiang is really reliable in his work." Xiao Qi took out a small box and threw it over to him, "These are the nine silver leaves that we agreed upon."
"Hey, thank you Brother Seven for taking care of me." Shi Liqiang caught the box without checking it, and stuffed it directly into his arms.
"Did you find anything else?" Xiao Qi asked again.
"The Chirizong people seem to have surrounded Wuligou. My brother reminds you that their eyes are everywhere in the city. Once they find out that you intend to go to Wuligou, they will..."
Shi Liqiang said and made a movement of wiping his neck.
"I understand." Xiao Qi cupped his hands towards Shi Liqiang.
Arching his hand towards Xiaoqi, Shi Liqiang continued: "Also, the Chirizong's matter is quite secretive. If Brother Xiaoqi hadn't asked me to investigate, I wouldn't have realized that such a big event happened right under my nose. Well, so now there should be no other sects who have heard the news. If you really want to do something, Brother Seven, I will give you an idea. Spread the news and use the smell of blood to attract more wolves. When the time comes You are also fishing in troubled waters, of course, brothers really dare not do this, brother Xiaoqi, you should also weigh it yourself."
"Well, I will think about it carefully." Xiao Qi nodded, "Is there any news from other secret realms?"
"There are a lot of ideas, but the news is mixed. After all, Brother Seven, you also know that I have some tricks in Fengshuang City. I have to find help from other places, so the news is a bit messy, and it may not always be true."
"Whether it's true or not, let's hear it."
"Okay, then you have to remember well."
After a stick of incense, Xiao Qi left Shi Liqiang's hut, looked left and right in a very subtle way, and walked towards the street.
In the Rongqing Inn, Lin Yuyan was splashing ink on the rice paper. She already had the habit of practicing calligraphy every day, and with the fact that she had lived so happily in the past few days, she naturally wanted to write down all these happy moments.
"Senior brother called my name again today. It has been a full seven times since I set off. What a deep love this is."
Holding her face and exhaling hot air, Lin Yuyan seemed to hear the voice of her senior calling her name from the waist card again.
"Boom."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Yuyan said, "Come in."
With a sound of "squeak", the door was opened, Xiao Qi walked in and cupped his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, things are already underway."
"Okay, tell me first." Lin Yuyan put down her pen and nodded.
After telling Lin Yuyan in detail the news he got from Shi Liqiang just now, Xiao Qi cupped his hands and said, "Based on the previous news, sister-in-law, the person you are looking for is most likely in Wuligou."
"Red Sun Sect..."
If it was a week ago, Lin Yuyan must have never heard of this small sect.
But because she wanted to fulfill the entrustment of her senior brother, she studied hard and got to know a wave of sects big and small in Qi State.
This Chiri Sect is a small sect in Huangping County, and the suzerain seems to be only at the fifth level of Xuanzong, which is barely able to establish a sect in Qi State.
'Um… '
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yuyan felt that with such a small sect, her aunt would scare them to death just by declaring her name, so it would be impossible for her to have the guts to do anything to her aunt.
After much deliberation, Lin Yuyan still decided not to think on her own, picked up her waist badge and said via voice transmission: "Brother, Xiaoqi has already found out some clues."
Then he repeated what Xiao Qi reported to her.
"Okay, I'll come over later."
After a simple reply, the light on the waist badge dimmed again.
Hearing that Brother Wang was coming, Xiaoqi immediately took out a notebook and put it in front of Lin Yuyan, saying: "Sister-in-law, everything I found is on it, you and Brother Wang can talk slowly, and I'll be downstairs. You can ask Xiao Er to pass it on to me."
Taking the notebook and flipping through it, Lin Yuyan nodded in satisfaction, took out a jade token from the Qiankun ring and threw it at Xiao Qi, saying, "Although this token is not as good as my Lin family's waist token, it still has some weight in Qi's country." , if you encounter any trouble in the future, it may save your life."
After receiving the token, Xiao Qi didn't even look at it, and directly bowed and thanked: "Thank you sister-in-law, then I'll go down first."
When Xiao Qi stepped back, Lin Yuyan opened the book and read it carefully, so that she could answer fluently when the senior brother asked her later.
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of the wing room. Lin Yuyan quickly put away her books, arranged her hair and makeup, and went to open the door.
Looking at her senior whom she hadn't seen for several days, Lin Yuyan felt a tingling sensation crawling all over her body.
"Master... brother." Lin Yuyan blushed and shouted.
Scanning the room, Jiang Beiran asked, "Where's Xiaoqi?"
"He said he still had some things to do, so he went out."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran walked into the room and closed the door.
Sitting at the table, Jiang Beiran didn't rush to ask Lin Yuyan about Wuligou, but recalled his journey to Fengshuangcheng.
Without being with Lin Yuyan, he came to Fengshuang City after only triggering eight options. Although the consumption was huge, it was much better than when he acted with Lin Yuyan.
In addition, Jiang Beiran has not been idle for the past few days. After having the "safe house", he would go out to "hang out" every day, triggering the option ten times before going back.
He is not greedy either. After all, being in a foreign country is so dangerous. There is no need to trigger the number of times every day. After all, the future is long.
After so many days now, he has triggered many new attributes.
Among the basic attributes, he added three new attributes: insight, will, and reflection.
Combined with the previous concentration and perception, his basic attributes have increased by a total of seven.
There are even more skills, a total of eighteen more, two more than the Sixteen Arts of Xuanmen. Jiang Beiran even felt that this was not the end, and there should be new skills emerging.
Jiang Beiran was of course very happy that so many new attribute points had sprung up like mushrooms after rain, but at the same time he was a little worried.
'How long will it take to fill them all up...'
