Chapter 290 Qingshan Town
The old man looked at them and smiled: "I'm about to go back to Qingshan Town, so just follow me."
The two of them couldn't help but feel happy. Bi Fan hurriedly raised his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, old man."
He smiled, indicating that you were welcome, and walked downstairs slightly hunched over while carrying the chopped firewood.
Zheng Shi'an hurriedly stepped forward to help him get the firewood, carried it on his body, and said with a smile: "Old man, let me carry it for you."
The old man smiled and waved his hand: "No, my body is very strong, so it won't be a problem!"
But he couldn't resist Zheng Shi'an's enthusiasm, so he had to let him carry dry firewood on his back. The basket of medicinal materials in front of him was also carried by Bi Fan. Xiao Lian followed them silently.
Along the way, Bi Fan also pretended to be unconscious and asked: "Old man, are you from Qingshan Town?"
"Yes, I have lived in Qingshan Town for many years."
"Then have you heard of a young man named Xu Lie?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his smiling expression became a little serious: "Are you looking for Xu Lie?"
Sensing his strangeness, Bi Fan was also a little confused. He subconsciously looked at Xiao Lian Zheng Shi'an and then nodded slowly: "Yes. You seem to know him?"
The old man suddenly became very unhappy. With a hard face, he took back the firewood on Zheng Shi'an's back and the medicine basket in Bi Fan's hand. He said in a cold voice: "I don't need your help.
I don’t want to help you lead the way, so I take my leave.”
This strange reaction made the three of them puzzled. What on earth happened? Why did the old man react so fiercely when Xu Lie was mentioned?
Looking at his back as he left without hesitation, Zheng Shi'an smiled bitterly: "Brother, what should I do?"
Bi Fan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Looking at the old man's appearance, he must know Xu Lie. It can also be basically confirmed that this person has indeed stayed here. Xiao Lian, your dragon plate secret technique is in Xiao Lian."
Can it be used within the range?”
Xiao Lian raised his eyes and shook his head slowly: "No."
Bi Fan gave a wry smile: "Okay, then we can only follow the old man and go to the town to look for him slowly."
After the three of them waited for the old man to go far away, they relied on locking on his aura to smoothly descend the mountain and arrived at the town.
This is a remote mountain town, not very lively. The long and narrow streets are not crowded with people, and there are only a few vendors and shops on both sides of the street.
The three of them looked around as they walked. Almost no one in sight had any aura fluctuations of cultivation. Most of the people coming and going were ordinary people, which made the folk customs here appear more simple.
While observing the surroundings, Zheng Shi'an leaned into Bi Fan's ear and whispered in Bi Fan's ear: "Brother, if you don't ask, where can we find Xu Lie?"
Bi Fan said: "Don't worry, most of the people here are ordinary people with no cultivation. We just need to pay attention to those who have unusual aura fluctuations, that may be the person we are looking for."
He was about to nod when he saw Xiao Lian suddenly said calmly: "Not necessarily."
Bi Fan was startled: "How do you say that?"
Xiao Lian raised his eyelids, and a barrier quietly covered them around them, which could isolate the sound from being heard by people outside.
After making this preparation, he said calmly: "Xu Lie is a person with strong soul power. From the perspective of the Dragon Pan Secret Technique, his soul cultivation is probably on par with Su Xingchen."
"If he wants to hide himself, it might be difficult to find him just by looking at his breath."
Zheng Shi'an unconsciously asked: "Can't even you find it?"
Xiao Lian glanced at him lightly: "I can detect him, but he also detects me differently? What's more, the previous Dragon Pan secret technique has already leaked my breath."
Bi Fan smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, using this method will alarm him. If we don't know our identity and origin, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to trust us."
"The only way now is to first understand why the old man has some hatred for Xu Lie."
Zheng Shi'an scratched his head: "I'm afraid I have to ask the old man in person about this matter!"
Suddenly, Long Diao floated out of Bi Fan's sea of thoughts, hovering on his shoulders and said: "Shi An, don't you have a human skin mask? Put it on, so I won't recognize us?"
One sentence reminded the two of them, what a great idea!
People with advanced skills may notice the similarity in aura, but the old man is just an ordinary person. If they put on a mask, they might be able to hide it from the outside world.
Bi Fan added: "Not only do you have to wear a mask, but you also have to have a proper identity, so that you can convince me."
While the two were talking, a cart being pushed behind them accidentally bumped into Bi Fan, and a boyish voice apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."
Bi Fan smiled and said it didn't matter. He somehow remembered that his voice would not be heard outside the barrier.
He shook his head at the moment, looked at the figure of the young man pushing the car away, and turned his head to look at Zheng Shi'an.
The latter quickly understood, walked forward and grabbed the young man, squatted down and said something to him with a smile, and soon came back pushing the cart with the medicinal herbs: "Brother, we want to become merchants who purchase medicinal herbs.
Are you going to find that old man?"
Bi Fan nodded: "Well, yes. Let's go, change your clothes, and go to my uncle's house. I hope your trip won't be in vain!"
The two of them found a private place to put on their masks, and looked at each other's unfamiliar faces with helpless smiles. Then they found an inn to rest, changed clothes, and then officially went out.
Zheng Shi'an released a poisonous insect that was very sensitive to odors, and after smelling the smell of firewood that he helped carry on his hands, he led the way. Not long after, he successfully found the area near the old man's house.
In order to make everything look more real, Bi Fan started shopping at the first house in the village. Soon, word spread in this small area that there were traders from other places coming to collect medicinal materials.
Xiao Lian, who was in hiding, was standing not far from the old man's house with Long Diao. When he saw the old man appearing, he used a voice transmission to remind Bi Fan.
The latter quickly understood, walked out of the village house, and came to the old man's house.
Bi Fan deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Hello old man, are there any medicinal materials you can harvest here?"
The old man smiled and nodded: "Yes, I went up to the mountain to pick some today, and they are all here. You can see what you want!"
Bi Fan nodded, walked to the medicine basket and rummaged through it while pretending to be unconscious and asked: "Old man, do you know of any place in town where a large amount of medicinal materials can be purchased?"
The old man nodded and said with a slight sigh: "There used to be a place, but now, alas, something unexpected happened, and that medicinal shop has closed."
Seemingly suspicious, Zheng Shi'an pretended to be curious and asked, "What accident happened?"
The old man's face became more solemn, and he sighed and shook his head: "It's okay not to mention this kind of thing, it's okay not to mention it."
