Forget it, maybe it's a small family member, I haven't seen so much material...
Wei Ci happily walked around the secret room, touching this and squeezing that. Almost all of the high energy was received by him into the Sumeru space and fed to Jin Shu at the same time.
Time passed and it soon came to night.
Wei Ci packed up his clothes, put a mask on his face, and said goodbye to Kuang Xun with some reluctance.
He was not sensational. The master-disciple relationship that lasted for more than two months could not be more genuine. There were not many people who cared about him in this world. As his second teacher, Kuang Xun not only saved him from danger, but also gave him all his money.
Teaching each other is destined to leave a mark in his heart.
As Kuang Xun activated his energy, the sound of the secret door opening was heard.
Wei Ci bowed down to Kuang Xun and walked into the corridor.
Unlike when I first came, Lancheng was unusually quiet this night.
Wei Ci stood in the corner of Jiang's house with Zhang Yu's face in front of him, breathing in the cool air outside, feeling a little emotional. This feeling of being like a lifetime ago seemed familiar, but for a while he had no impression of it.
After getting rid of the messy sentimental thoughts in his mind, he quickly left the place.
The next day, it was sunny and windy.
Outside Lancheng Ferry, people were coming and going, a bustling scene.
But if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that most of these people are laborers composed of ordinary people without cultivation, and only a few are supervisors who are practitioners.
Boxes after boxes of goods were carried by workers overtime, and then distributed and transported to various cargo holds on the ferry.
Wei Ci had been hiding in a secret corner very close to him, observing from a distance for a while.
After a morning of inquiring, he already knew that the ferry still had three days to set sail.
Originally, he planned to use the ferry ticket he got from Jiang Yan and board the ferry openly. Unfortunately, the procedures for boarding the ferry had become extremely strict at some point.
Everyone boarding the ship must not only show their ticket, but must also be carefully interrogated before they can board.
The people responsible for the interrogation are two mysterious men guarding the entrance of the ferry. They are wearing cloaks and each holding something that looks like a stick but not a stick, and something that looks like a card but not a card. Everyone who gets on the boat will be arrested.
The two of them brushed the thing all over their bodies.
His intuition told him that this situation was probably related to Jiang Yan's murder.
So after watching for a long time, Wei Ci did not act rashly, and at the same time, he completely gave up the idea of boarding the ship through a boat ticket.
He was not sure whether the Jiang family could recognize him in other ways besides his face. If so, something would be very wrong.
Until the evening, he didn't find a suitable opportunity, so he had to leave temporarily.
With Zhang Yu's face on his face, although someone discovered his presence, it did not arouse any suspicion.
With nowhere to go, Wei Ci randomly found a cool place to practice some practice. Not far from him, there were several small and medium-sized shops.
When the crowd dispersed at night and there were no other customers in the shop, he quietly walked in.
"Sir, do you want to sell materials?" The shopkeeper looked at the young man who just walked in and asked tentatively.
Wei Ci looked around pretending to be curious, and then asked: "I came to Lancheng for the first time and passed by your store. I heard that the ferry was about to open. I wanted to ask if you can sell ferry tickets here?"
Hearing his question, the shopkeeper shook his head in disappointment, sat back and replied: "If my shop had that kind of items, it wouldn't be so deserted, but even if it did, I'm afraid I wouldn't wait until someone came to the door.
, it has already been dismantled by the Jiang family!"
Wei Ci's heart moved.
From the shopkeeper's tone, it seems that he doesn't like the Jiang family's behavior?
Also, the Jiang family is used to being arrogant and domineering in Lancheng. It's strange that these small businessmen can get used to it.
"Haha, shopkeeper, I'll tell you the truth. I was lucky. I robbed an unlucky guy outside the city and accidentally got a boat ticket, but I couldn't use it. I wonder where you are?"
Wei Ci leaned over the counter, lowered his head, and asked with a sinister smile.
This smile immediately sent chills down the shopkeeper's spine.
Oh My God!
How strong does the young man in front of me have to be able to steal other people's tickets?
You must know that whether it is a big shot with status, a person who works for the Jiang family, or a bidder through an auction, the person who can get a ticket in his hand will definitely not be weak.
It is definitely not easy to rob such a person and seize the things in his hands.
He could afford to open a shop in Lancheng, and there were many strong men with title level in all kinds of storms, but there were not many young strong men like Wei Ci.
However, the shopkeeper then thought about it, maybe the other party took advantage of others' danger and succeeded by accident?
Otherwise, why are the robbers called "unlucky people"?
Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt that it made sense and couldn't help but nod his head.
"The shopkeeper?" Wei Ci reminded him silently as he watched the corners of his mouth move, as if he suddenly realized something.
"Oh, look at my reaction, little brother, please come inside! Outside is not the place to talk." The shopkeeper suddenly woke up, pointed to a small door in the store, his eyes flashed, and said to him.
If the boat ticket transaction was an aboveboard transaction and the Jiang family discovered it, it would be courting death.
Wei Ci naturally knew what the shopkeeper was afraid of, and immediately followed him into the small door.
After a moment of burning incense, another exclamation came from the small door.
Because Wei Ci had not just one ticket token, but two. When the second ticket was placed in front of the shopkeeper to sign, the latter was shocked and speechless.
Although private transactions of ferry tickets occasionally occur, they are always rare. After all, there are only so many tickets in circulation on the market, and who would be willing to sell off the opportunity to go to the mainland.
But Wei Ci took out two boat tickets at once, which surprised the shopkeeper.
Because he suddenly thought of another thing.
That is, more than two months ago, Jiang Yan, the son of Jiang Yuanwu, was killed by a mysterious man in Lan City.
It is said that Jiang Yan's belongings at that time contained two ferry tickets. When the Jiang family later issued a reward for the wanted man in the city, they once said that if anyone has clues, there will be a heavy reward for reporting...
Smiling stiffly, the shopkeeper said: "I am the most sincere person, and I won't hide it from you. This ferry ticket is indeed precious in private transactions, but the risk is too high. The most I can give you is this price!"
As he spoke, he held out a finger.
"1,000 yuan stones...medium grade?" Wei Ci frowned, showing dissatisfaction.
The shopkeeper nodded: "Exactly, 1,000 middle-grade Yuan Stones. Little brother, this price is not low. You and I are doing this secretly. Even if we switch to another company, we can't exceed this price!"
"Forget it, there are still two days before the ferry sets sail, I will wait and see before taking action.
"Hey, if I hadn't needed the Yuan Stone urgently, to be honest, I wouldn't have been so eager to sell it." Wei Ci sighed as he gestured to leave.
Seeing him like this, the shopkeeper suddenly became anxious: "Wait! Add another 200 or 1,200 coins. This is the highest price I can give!"
With his channel, there are many people begging to buy ferry tickets, so it is not a problem to resell them at a high price. He has successfully sold them at a price exceeding the auction price before, making a lot of money.
"1500 pieces! If it doesn't work, forget it." Wei Ci waved his hand and said.
He was not panicked at all. He was still confident in observing words and expressions.
Although it is not appropriate to cause unnecessary trouble at this time, the ferry ticket is time-limited and can only be used once. If he takes it to the mainland, it will be worthless.
"Deal!" the shopkeeper said with a slightly pained expression.
With the extra 500 yuan, he would have to make a lot less money, but two ferry tickets at one time, if handled properly, could be considered a big deal.
Wei Ci was in a good mood after receiving 3,000 middle-grade Yuan stones.
Previously, all the primeval stones on his body were given to Kuang Xun.
This time it can be regarded as a serious addition.
When he came out of the shop and passed a corner, he turned his robe inside out and put it on again. His face was blurred and distorted, and he soon transformed into Long Qing's appearance.
There was no way, he couldn't remember other people's faces clearly, so he could only use the faces of acquaintances.
At noon on the second day, outside Lancheng Ferry.
"Hey! Come here, yes, don't look at it. It's you. Carry this broken box out for me, put it in a new box, and put the things back in!" A supervisor frowned and pointed at the worker closest to him.
, scolded.
The worker who was scolded by him walked over with his head hanging down as if he were mourning.
He carried a somewhat old wooden box on his shoulders. Because it contained goods, it looked a little shaky, as if the contents might fall out at any time and be as good as the shabby gray clothes the worker was wearing.
The laborer struggled to carry the box and walked outside.
The items to be transported this time were some distance from the ferry, so he could only complete the replacement of packaging boxes alone.
What a coincidence. The worker was swaying left and right, and the direction he was walking was facing Wei Ci.
Gradually, curses mixed with nasal sounds reached Wei Ci's ears.
"Bah, what bad luck! It would kill someone to carry such a heavy box back and forth alone..."
"These cultivators are really not human beings. I have provoked whoever, and I will be caught here to do hard labor. Huh, there are only a few people supervising the work, think they can watch me? What a dream! I can come when I want, and leave when I want!"
"It would be great if I also had the talent for cultivation... Hey, my shoulder hurts..."
While the laborer was muttering, he crouched, using the shadows of various debris around the ferry to hide from the hot midday sun, and walked slowly and gracefully in the direction of Wei Ci.
Got it!
Listening to this guy's thoughts, Wei Ci suddenly thought of an idea.
In some movies in his previous life, he had seen the protagonist sneak into a box and be transported away as a living creature, successfully escaping from danger.
No, a ready-made scene is here!
He restrained his breath, waited for the laborer to pass by him, and followed him quietly. With his ability as a practitioner, it would be easy to track an ordinary mortal, and he would never be discovered.
After walking for a while, the laborer stopped next to an inconspicuous warehouse.
"Made, it hurts me to death." The worker covered his shoulders and sat down outside the warehouse, complaining.
This warehouse is within the ferry area designated by the Jiang family, and there are also several supervisors near the warehouse.
