The gathering of countless monks traveling north has often become a rare but common sight today.
But just as countless monks were rushing towards the north, a young man in black shirt who was tired of travel was rushing towards Xishan. When he was still more than 200 miles away from Xishan, he entered a county town.
, stopped in front of a pawn shop not far from the city gate, and walked in without hesitation.
The pawn shop clerk was a young man with a somewhat delicate appearance. After seeing the man in black shirt, he curiously asked, "What does the customer want to pawn?"
The man in black shirt stretched out his hand and pulled out a waist tag and placed it on the counter.
After the young waiter took one look, his face instantly became solemn. He raised his head and glanced at the young man in front of him in disbelief, but he quickly calmed down and said softly, "Guest, wait a moment."
He turned around and walked towards the back room. Not long after, a middle-aged man walked out of the back room. With a look, someone closed the door of the pawn shop and hung a closing sign on it.
The middle-aged shopkeeper waited until the door was closed before bowing and saluting, "I've seen the guardian envoy before."
Chen Chao reached out to take back the Baichuan Pavilion sign, hung it around his waist again, and said straight to the point, "Tell me everything that happened in Xishan recently."
The Baichuan Pavilion was established in Daliang Dynasty. The original purpose was to deal with monks from outside the country who sent people to sneak into Daliang. The main purpose was to secretly detect the ghosts inside Daliang Dynasty. However, as time went by, Baichuan Pavilion gradually became more than just checking ghosts.
They will also send countless personnel to sneak into various major sects in order to grasp the trends of various major sects in a timely manner, so as not to be at a loss when dealing with them.
However, there were a few sects. Due to many reasons, the Liang Dynasty did not send personnel to enter them.
Among them, Wantian Palace is included.
However, although Baichuan Pavilion did not send anyone to sneak into Wantian Palace, it did arrange personnel to conduct regular observations around Xishan.
The middle-aged man listened to Chen Chao's question and thought that the guardian envoy came here in person. He knew that the matter must not be that simple, so he quickly said, "Not many things have happened in Xishan these days. This is the first one."
One day, everything seemed to be revived on Xishan Mountain, and in the blink of an eye, the vegetation became extremely lush. However, these foreign monks, whose Taoism is mysterious, did not seem to be abnormal, so they did not report it."
Chen Chao nodded and asked, "Say Zhu Xia."
The middle-aged man was startled, but he didn't have any doubts. He quickly said, "The last time the saint of Wantian Palace appeared in the small town at the foot of the mountain was half a year ago. There is a preserved fruit shop there that she likes to eat. According to
According to her frequency in the past, she would appear almost once a day. Later, after I went to Xishan once, it only became once a month or two..."
When talking about this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but glance at Chen Chao. Although he didn't know what was going on here, he was in this business after all. In fact, he could guess a little bit.
"Later, when the saint came down the mountain again, she was depressed most of the time..."
The middle-aged man thinks that this is probably because he is sad?
Chen Chao did not bother to talk about this, but instead asked, "Has Zhu Xia ever gone down the mountain again after the abnormality that day?"
The middle-aged man frowned, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No."
As the person in charge of the local Baichuan Pavilion, he is almost not the only one
, and other responsible persons all have a common ability, that is, they can remember everything that happened over a period of time, so that when their boss asks, they can answer fluently.
Of course, this must also be recorded on weekdays.
Chen Chao continued to ask, "Has there been anything else happening in Xishan recently? For example, did anyone flee in a hurry? When someone fled, was there anyone chasing him?"
The middle-aged man thought for a while and suddenly said, "Yes, a few days ago, two rainbow lights passed across the sky and left quickly in the distance. But when it got dark, our people saw a Taoist priest following a caravan.
Heading towards the capital of God."
Chen Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, and stopped asking.
When he was in the capital of the gods, as soon as the Taoist opened his mouth, Chen Chao felt that the matter was urgent and could not stay, so he left quickly. But actually on the way, when he thought about it again, Chen Chao still felt that he was a little impatient and should
You need to understand things clearly before talking about them, and don't do things rashly, otherwise he won't stay here.
But thinking about it carefully, the previous impatience was probably because the person who had the accident was Zhu Xia.
Although Chen Chao has clearly rejected Zhu Xia, Chen Chao still has complicated emotions towards this girl Zhu Xia. In many cases, he treats Zhu Xia as his own sister, so it is understandable to be a little impatient for a while.
"Is there any way for me to enter Xishan without being known?"
Chen Chao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a calm expression, but what he said made the middle-aged man feel shocked.
I have been working here for several years, but I have never had the opportunity to be promoted. This is because I have not been able to do anything big, but I also have no chance to do big things, because Wantian Palace has always been on good terms with Daliang.
But this time it was different. If they could fulfill the requirements put forward by the Guardian Envoy, they would be able to add to their credit and be promoted. It was only a matter of time.
So after the middle-aged man thought about it carefully, he cautiously suggested, "Those Taoists on Xishan Mountain practice Taiping Dao, so they have been more casual these years. Although they are said to be making the meals themselves, the people who deliver the food are still down the mountain."
the people.”
…
…
There is fog all year round in Xishan, especially in the morning. The fog is so thick that ordinary people can only see the scenery a few steps away, so the vegetable farmers who pick vegetables walk very slowly.
The leading vegetable farmer is named Zhang Chuan. He has been responsible for delivering vegetables to Xishan for ten years. In these ten years, he has been cautious and has never made any mistakes. But today when he picked vegetables to go up the mountain, he was always worried.
The young man wearing a bamboo hat behind him reminded in a low voice, "Adjust your breathing as usual, don't make any mistakes, otherwise things will be very troublesome."
Zhang Chuan was about to cry but had no tears. Although he didn't know what this person wanted to do by sneaking into Xishan, he always felt that it was a huge trouble, but the person who asked him to agree to this was not something he could disobey.
"Don't worry, if you really lose this job, you will find a better one."
The young man wearing a bamboo hat was calm.
His simple words were not even a promise, but for some reason, Zhang Chuan's heart calmed down inexplicably at this moment.
It seems that no matter what the person in front of me says, he will definitely do it. The gathering of countless monks traveling north has often become a rare but common sight nowadays.
