The next step was relatively smooth, and we passed two larger cities in succession without any accidents.
I just inquired about countless inns, taverns, inns and even brothels, but no one has heard of Wu Qiu, the Taoist priest of Wushuangmen Tiancheng. It seems that the senior brother has been both frugal and self-sufficient along the way.
He is a serious cultivator.
But it also created huge obstacles for those looking for him.
Su Hao naturally wouldn't blame Senior Brother for this, but he was troubled because he had no clues. When he came out of the second city, he couldn't help but look up at the sky and sighed: "Senior Brother, where are you?"
Dong Shangdao: "Continue forward, there is a big city at the foot of Qianhuan Sect's main peak. There will definitely be news there."
"Let's go."
Su Hao also knew that finding a needle in a haystack was not easy, so after sighing with emotion, he gathered his mood and set off again.
The two of them flew together under the stars and the moon, and after a few days they arrived at the foot of the Qianhuan Sect's main peak.
The city here is called Yunmeng City. It is built around the peak, covers an extremely large area, and is home to nearly 10 million people.
In addition to business travelers coming from afar, there are also families seeking immortality in the city. Some have just settled down, while others have taken root for decades or hundreds of years, just to be able to give birth to a qualified immortal seedling.
Coupled with the cultivation seeds from surrounding cities, this place has become prosperous. Qianhuan Sect has never worried about the lack of disciples.
The city was filled with a large number of family members of Qianhuan Sect disciples, and there were many informants. After Su Hao and Dong Shang arrived in Yunmeng City, they first went to the bank to exchange the Xuanyuan State currency notes for Shenwu Kingdom currency notes, found an inn to stay at, and went out to hang out every day.
, inquire about Wu Qiu’s whereabouts.
This stay lasted two months. The two of them visited almost every corner of the city, but there was still no news.
Wu Qiu seems to have never appeared in Yunmeng City.
Su Hao sent a messenger talisman to Xiaogushan to report that he was safe, and then discussed with Dong Shang in the inn, and decided that Su Hao would go directly to the Qianhuan Sect Foreign Affairs Hall to visit, while Dong Shang tried to contact the local underground organization to ask
Do they have any relevant information?
Su Hao gave Dong Shang twenty spiritual stones as funds for activities. After all, asking underground organizations to do things is impossible without a considerable price. After thinking about it, he handed over the spiritual weapon long sword obtained from Sun Hua.
Dong Shang, just in case of emergency.
After formulating the plan, Su Hao said: "If there is still no news, then the senior brother probably did not come here, but encountered other things. If so, we can only think of other solutions."
Recalling that Liu Wen brought him to Qingxuan for the first time and was directly blocked by Yuanying of the Shangqing Sect, someone calculated the time and place of Liu Wen's appearance at a very high cost. If Wu Qiu was never heard from after all, he would definitely visit him everywhere.
Master, please ask someone to do some calculations.
Dong Shangdao: "It is also possible that Qianhuan Sect has blocked the news."
Su Hao shook his head and said: "Our Wushuang Sect is just a little-known sect. Even if the Qianhuan Sect kills the senior brother, there is no need to hide it at all. In order to show its prestige, it can even publicize it everywhere to scare others and deliberately block the news completely.
no need."
Dong Shang thought about this and nodded.
The next day, the two of them acted separately. Su Hao showed off his early stage of foundation building and came to the Qianhuan Sect Foreign Affairs Hall in the center of the city. He explained his purpose to a handyman who received him. The handyman politely asked him to wait a moment.
Go in and report.
After a while, the handyman came out again and said lukewarmly: "We have never heard of Wu Qiu here. Fellow Taoist, please excuse me."
Su Hao took advantage of the fact that the handyman was unprepared and quickly stepped forward, stuffed a spiritual stone into his hand, then cupped his fists and said, "Su only wants to see the person in charge here, and I also hope to be able to help you."
The handyman held the spirit stone tightly, his face changed for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a moment," and walked in again.
When he came out again, he looked relaxed, smiled at Su Hao and said, "Follow me."
The handyman led Su Hao to the inner hall and served him some fragrant tea. Su Hao was not polite, he picked it up and drank it. His mouth was full of fragrant aroma and his whole body felt refreshed.
After a cup of tea, a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment slowly walked in. His body was quite plump and his face was white and beardless.
He first glared at the busboy with dissatisfaction. When he saw the busboy was smiling and bowing, he did not go into details. He looked up and down at Su Hao, who stood up and offered his hand to him. He waved the busboy out and said calmly: "Say it."
, what are you looking for?"
Su Hao said politely: "This junior is a disciple of Xuanyuan Kingdom's Wushuang Sect. I have taken the liberty to disturb my senior this time because I want to inquire about something. I hope that senior will not hesitate to inform me."
With that said, he took out two spiritual stones and stuffed them into the monk's hands.
After taking possession of the spirit stone, it immediately disappeared without any hesitation. It was obvious that similar matters had been done frequently. The Taoist's expression softened and he smiled and said: "Please sit down, Duan Wenzhou, the deacon of the outer sect of Qianhuan Sect, I am asking you something, I am the Taoist."
You should tell me everything you know.”
Su Hao said: "I wonder if your sect has sent disciples from outside to cause trouble in the past year or two?"
Duan Wenzhou frowned and said, "What do you mean by this, fellow Taoist?"
Su Hao said: "Senior, please don't blame me. I don't have any other intentions. My senior brother's Taoist name is Tiancheng and his lay name is Wu Qiu. More than a year ago, he sent a letter saying that he had traveled to the vicinity of Guizong. He has not returned yet. This junior just came out to look for me. My senior brother is quite..."
He has his own opinion, and the junior is afraid that he will offend the noble sect and be punished, so he asks the senior for more information."
Duan Wenzhou thought: "Our Qianhuan Sect has always been open and has a lot of exchanges with fellow Taoists from all walks of life. When there are too many outsiders in this city, disputes will arise. There are monks fighting every day. Most of the time, the monks resolve it privately. In fact,
If the commotion gets too big, houses are destroyed, innocent people are hurt, or disciples of our sect are involved, the Law Enforcement Hall will come forward. Whether the person mentioned by fellow Taoists is punished for this, Pindao has no way of finding out."
Su Hao said cautiously: "Is there anyone who wants to compete with Guizong for disciples?"
Duan Wenzhou was stunned for a moment, and said with a strange expression: "If you talk about this, Pindao has really heard of it."
Su Hao was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly stuffed two more spiritual stones into Duan Wenzhou's hands and asked, "Can you tell me in detail about this for this junior?"
Duan Wenzhou smiled with satisfaction and said: "If things are not complicated, one year ago, our Qianhuan Sect opened its gates and recruited many disciples. During this period, a female disciple came with her family, and was accompanied by a young Taoist priest."
"The young Taoist has been persuading the female disciple to go with him, and the female disciple is also very moved, but her family believes that our Qianhuan Sect is the number one sect in the world. It is so easy for a seedling to cultivate immortality to appear in our family. How can we tolerate other unknown sects?"
A small sect? Haha, fellow Taoist, don’t blame Pindao for not listening to what he said, there are really too many people in the world who have this idea.”
As he spoke, he looked quite proud.
Su Hao nodded and said: "It's okay, it's just the way of the world, senior, please continue."
Duan Wenzhou said: "At that time, no one else knew about this except the person involved. It was only after the incident happened that it became known based on the person involved."
Su Hao remained silent and waited for the next sentence.
Duan Wenzhou continued: "That young Taoist is also amazing. He was able to hide his cultivation and deceive the gatekeeper. He sneaked into the mountain gate as a tester and continued to chase the female disciple. I have to say that this person has a very smart mind.
"Jian, this spirit of never giving up until the goal is achieved is very admirable."
"It's just that he was unlucky, or that he had a good eye. After testing, the female disciple was found to be a water-type heavenly power user. This is a very rare and high-quality spiritual root. The innate Tao body has not been born in the world, and it is unparalleled in the world.
Well, this sentence is not something I say casually, it will be a matter of course for female disciples to advance to Nascent Soul in the future."
"The emergence of a Heavenly Master really caused a huge sensation at that time. It even alarmed the fifth elders in the late Nascent Soul stage to come out of seclusion and directly announced that they would accept him as their direct disciples and teach him personally."
"The young Taoist saw that he couldn't do anything. Of course he felt very uncomfortable, but he had no choice. After saying goodbye to the female disciple's family, he wanted to retreat. Unexpectedly, the female disciple said something unintentionally, which brought the young Taoist a lot of trouble.
trouble."
"The female disciple said: If it hadn't been for my persistence, I would have almost missed my fate with my master. It is truly a blessing to join Qian Huan Sect today."
