After Wu Sheng asked about Yangzhou Walkers, Cui Mingdao said: "School Walkers usually don't get too involved in state affairs. They mainly maintain the safety of the spiritual world, arrest evil heretics, or change some things that they think are not good for the world and bad for learning.
Palace affairs. Maybe they will have more contact with Zhou Yin and Si Wei. An ordinary doctor like me, unless I have committed a crime, usually will not have any contact with them. So you ask me if I have any contact with Yangzhou
After dealing with him, I can only tell you that the time he was interrogated in prison was the first time I saw him. I advise you to stay away from them and don’t even ask."
Wu Sheng said: "I just want to ask one thing, where is Yangzhou walking station?"
Cui Ming sighed: "Don't insist on having your own way, okay? I'm no longer involved with Shen Dou Ke, so you can stop knocking on the door yourself, okay?"
Wu Sheng explained that he was just out of curiosity and wanted to take a look from a distance, so that he would at least know to stay away when passing by in the future, so he got the address.
The Yangzhou walking residence of the Academy, known as the Yangzhou Academy, is located outside a street in the south of the city, between two Jiafang. It looks no different from an ordinary doctor's residence. Several roofs can be seen in the courtyard walls that are as tall as one person.
There are two stone beasts standing in front of the overhanging eaves and closed gate.
The streets were relatively narrow, so Wu Sheng entered a restaurant diagonally opposite, ordered wine and food, and slowly ate and drank. This restaurant was relatively large, with an outer hall and an inner hall. There were more than a dozen tables in the outer hall, and the curtains were drawn in the inner hall, making it difficult to see.
It's clear, and there are a lot of guests, so it's the best place to ask for news.
The only regret is that the wine shop does not have a second floor. Wu Sheng can understand this. After all, being on the second floor allows you to look down into the courtyard wall. This is definitely not allowed in the academy.
He still hasn't figured out how to find out the information. Should he visualize the magic circle arranged on the stone beast for night exploration, or wait for the person inside to come out and grab a living tongue to interrogate him.
It would have been difficult for anyone else to have the idea of deliberately coming to provoke the academy. Wu Sheng was the kind of person who had dealt with the academy too much and it didn't matter anymore. Of course he was afraid, but he was no longer a liar.
Already.
After drinking two cups, he clarified his thoughts and decided to kidnap people. Actions such as night exploration are very dangerous. When the goal is unclear, it is difficult to gain anything, and it is not worth it. As for kidnapping people
, he also made a preliminary plan, starting with this walking disciple. Every walking person is in charge of one party, and of course he cannot walk alone. He has a group of disciples under him. For example, when he was in Langshan, he followed Luo Xingping to escape by boat.
Yes, Luo Xingxing had eight followers with him on the boat.
After kidnapping the retainer, if the reason why Shen Douke is being traced by the academy still cannot be found out through torture, then he will have to attack Yangzhou Xingxing himself.
Yangzhou's surname is Song, and Cui Ming doesn't know his name. In fact, it doesn't matter what he is called. Wu Sheng himself has changed his name several times, such as Shen Wu, Songzhu Jushi, Sun Wu, Shen Wu, Wu Sheng. He has no idea about the title.
The key to catching a cold is the person. How his cultivation is, his Taoism, his whereabouts, and his temperament are all very clear before he can take action.
While he was thinking about it, a bartender came out from the curtain in the inner hall. Wu Sheng didn't pay attention at first. Most of the tables in the bar were occupied by guests. Twenty or thirty people were noisy and coming and going. It was common for people to pass by. But this bartender
The guest suddenly came over and circled around Wu Sheng's table several times. Wu Sheng finally paid attention.
This guest was wearing a square turban and was about forty or fifty years old. The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally sparks arose.
"Brother Sun?"
"...Hall Master Song..."
This person turned out to be Song Yan, the deacon of the Longquan Sect and the new Beitang Hall Master Song Yan who joined the Shenyin Sect. When Wu Sheng fled Langshan, he relied on this Song Hall Master to "guide him". Unexpectedly, many years later,
, unexpectedly met here by chance.
Wu Sheng really didn't want to "meet an old friend in a foreign land", but Song Yan seemed to be really happy. He sat down opposite Wu Sheng and sighed repeatedly: "Times have changed, I almost didn't recognize you, so I just looked around.
It feels familiar, yet strange, but I really didn’t expect it... It’s been five years in the blink of an eye, right?”
"Yes, it's been five years, and I almost didn't recognize Hall Master Song. Hall Master Song seems to have... made great progress in cultivation?"
"Haha, it's easy to say, Song entered the senior level two years ago, and Sun is the one who has made great progress in cultivation. I still remember that you were just an ordinary Qi practitioner back then. After five years of separation, you are now a God practitioner."
"Ashamed, ashamed... I was actually on the verge of breaking through the realm back then. I just entered the realm of God Refining half a year ago. The realm is unstable. Hall Master Song has taken effect."
Song Yan grabbed Wu Sheng's arm: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet some old friends!"
Wu Sheng had no choice but to follow him into the back hall. The back hall was a small courtyard with several rooms arranged around the corridor. Song Jian immediately entered the room on the left first. There were several desks in there, with one person sitting in each.
Hearing that Song Yan said they were some old friends, Wu Sheng had already guessed who they were. When he saw these people, he smiled bitterly and handed over his hands: "Zhongli, Sophora japonica, Brother Chen, Brother Shi!"
As expected, they were the subordinates who had been under Wu Sheng when he was briefly promoted to the helmsman of "Beitang Yongcheng Branch", Zhong Liying, Huai Huajian, Chen Bu and Shi Jiu, but there was only one missing person.
These few people looked at Wu Sheng dumbfounded until Huaihua Jian carefully confirmed: "Brother Sun?"
Wu Sheng touched his face, knowing that he had taken the Tianxiang Pill, and asked with a smile: "You can't recognize me now? No wonder, I only knew you for half a day back then, and I almost didn't recognize you just now.
Come out, Master Song."
The Sophora Flower Sword jumped three feet high and jumped in front of Wu Sheng. He gestured wildly with his hands and feet and barely managed to pick him up: "Brother Sun, is it really you? We heard that you were knocked down into the river by thieves and you are nowhere to be found.
Where... Oh my god... This is really an eye-opener for God!"
Chen Bu revealed her secret: "Sophora flower cried a lot after hearing about it."
Sophora Flower Sword turned around and shouted with a smile: "Damn Abu!"
Shi Jiu also gathered around and saluted solemnly: "Brother Sun, my younger brother Shi Sansan has met Brother Sun!"
Zhong Liying held up the cup and said: "Brother Sun, I have missed you for a long time. It is such a blessing to meet you now. Please have a full drink!"
Wu Sheng drank with a smile and asked: "Where is Sloppy?"
Several people fell silent for a moment. Wu Sheng asked a few questions, and Huaihua Jian cried loudly: "Huzi is dead!"
Wu Sheng was also stunned, and the shy young man who held a crude long sword and asked him to fight immediately appeared in front of his eyes - wearing a bamboo hat, looking like a tiger's head, honest and simple.
While Wu Sheng, Chen Bu, Shi Jiu and others were comforting Sophora Flower Sword, Zhong Liying quietly withdrew and leaned outside the door to secretly look at Wu Sheng. From time to time, she compared it with a portrait he took out from his arms.
While shaking his head.
Someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder, frightening him to death. It was Song Jian.
"I told you earlier, didn't I? Now you see the real person, can't you tell? It's no wonder, it's been five years!"
