In the early morning of the third day, their car passed through the last winding mountain tunnel, and not far ahead, the Luliang Toll Station came into view.
"We're finally here," the fool yawned, rubbing his unshaven face with both hands, "Should we find a place to rest first, or should we go directly to Weiruo Village?"
"We have to take a rest," Luo Jiutian said with a look of fatigue on his face, "If the village is in the mountains, how can we have the energy to climb over the mountains in our current state?"
Xiaolan looked out the car window.
Luliang is surrounded by mountains far and near, and is a prosperous city located among the mountains.
"Are you going to climb the mountain again?" Qin Yin asked weakly.
"Not necessarily. If the mountain road is built now, then we might be able to drive in," Luo Jiutian said, "The last time I heard about Weiruo Village was a long time ago, and the changes must be great now."
Qin Yin stretched out, "Then can you still find the way?"
"Road? I can't find the road in the first place. I've never been here before."
Qin Yin's hands froze in mid-air.
The idiot in the co-pilot turned to look at Luo Jiutian, "Don't you know the road?"
"I just know how to get to Luliang," Luo Jiutian quickly threw the blame away, "I've only heard of Weiruo Village, how can I know the way?"
"Then how do we find it?" Baomu said, "We can't even find that place in the navigation."
"I originally planned to ask for directions..."
"Nine Heavens..." Qin Yin stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Luo Jiutian's eyes were fixed on the road ahead, but sweat was already breaking out on his forehead, "I, a foreigner, have heard of Weiruo Village, and the locals in Luliang will definitely know it too."
"Is it really possible? That is Sanyan's territory. Aren't Sanyan's whereabouts kept confidential?"
"That's just a secret for those of us. Ordinary people won't think there's anything special about Sanyan. Moreover, the reason why Sanyan is elusive is not because their territory is safe, but because they often change territories," Luo Jiutian said,
"For example, the last time I heard about Weiruo Village, my father and a few senior brothers went there to deal with something. I was still young at that time. They said that Weiruo Village was just an ordinary village, nothing special.
The people here are also ordinary people."
Xiaolan sat up and said, "No, Brother Jiutian, Wenling grew up in Weiruo Village."
"ah?"
"I saw it in her memories," Xiaolan turned her head and looked at Wenling, who still had an empty look on her face, "She has lived in Weiruo Village since she was a child."
"But my father told me..." Luo Jiutian began to wonder, "Is it possible that my father didn't recognize the Sanyan people?"
"Do Sanyan people have any typical characteristics?" Qin Yin asked.
"Speaking of which, Wen Ling is very different from us," Luo Jiutian said, "Because we in the Luo family practice the ability of calculation, we can distinguish the spiritual tides, but Wen Ling's spiritual tides... and
Ordinary people seem to be pretty much the same.”
"Isn't that right? So Lao Luo walked around San Yan's home without even recognizing him."
"That's not right," Luo Jiutian said, "I can't tell the difference, but my dad can. Since my dad can confirm that Wen Ling is the real Sanyan, it means that he must have met the Sanyan people."
The Taoist Master listened for a long time and finally said, "Do you suspect Director Luo is hiding something from you?"
"I..." Luo Jiutian choked up, "I really feel that my father has hidden a lot of things from me now."
"Maybe I didn't hide it from you on purpose. After all, you were young at that time, and you wouldn't understand even if I told you," Qin Yin comforted, "You might not even be able to write the word for Sanyan at that time."
Xiaolan listened to their conversation and suddenly thought of something.
She reached for her backpack and dug around randomly inside.
Then, a sharp sound came from the bag.
"what?!"
Xiaolan grabbed Heipi's ear and pulled it out directly.
Heipi must have just woken up, muttering dissatisfied.
"Heipi, do you know Weiruozhai?"
"What village?"
"Weiruozhai, the future of Weiruo..."
"I know, I know, Weiruo Village," Heipi groaned impatiently, "It seems to be southeast of Luliang. Do you want to go there?"
Xiaolan immediately puffed up her chest and shouted, "Heipi knows where Weiruo Village is!"
"real?"
"Very good……"
"Then do you know how we are going to get there?" Xiaolan then asked.
"How do I know? I've never been there," Heipi said. "Weiruzhai... is a very small place. I think only locals know about it."
"Aren't you a local... a local cat?"
"I'm not, Xiaosong is from Luliang," Heipi said, "She just brought me to live here for a while... Just grab any local and ask for directions."
"..."
"What's wrong? How does it say it wants to go?" Qin Yin asked excitedly.
Xiaolan blinked twice in embarrassment, "Well...it asked us to grab two random locals and ask for directions."
"I said one!"
Xiaolan put the noisy black leather back into the backpack and said, "It seems there is no other way, brother Jiutian, we can only stay overnight first and then ask for directions."
Luliang City is prosperous and elegant. The horizontal and vertical buildings are shrouded in clouds and mist in the mountains, giving it a unique dreamy feel.
It was a cloudy day today. At five or six o'clock in the morning, there were still a few neon lights flashing in the city. They parked the car on the side of the road and walked onto the slightly sloped street.
Walking into a hotel, Luo Jiutian met the enthusiastic eyes of the girl at the front desk, and the first thing he blurted out was, "Hello, have you heard of Weiruozhai?"
Xiaolan clearly saw the corner of the girl's mouth trembling twice.
"I'm sorry..." the girl looked at the group of people, "I haven't heard of it... I just came here not long ago."
"Aren't you from Luliang?"
"I'm not," the girl shrank into the counter, "Do you want to stay?"
The Taoist priest pushed aside Luo Jiutian, who was holding his chin in thought, "Yes, we will stay here."
"Don't be surprised," Qin Yin also smiled at the girl, "This is my younger brother, he has a bad mind."
Luo Jiutian was deflated and stood aside depressedly.
"Okay, there are three rooms in total. Here are your room cards." When the girl handed over the room card, she glanced curiously at Wenling beside Xiaolan, "This guest...doesn't it matter?"
It must have been the dull expression on Wen Ling's face that scared her.
Xiaolan squeezed Wenling's arm tightly, "It's okay, she is my sister, she...she doesn't have a very good mind either."
"Ah, that's it." The girl showed a regretful expression.
It’s really hard for these people to travel despite being like this.
Everyone went upstairs, put down their luggage, and the first thing they did was wash their faces.
While Xiaolan was brushing her teeth, there was a knock on the door.
Dong Dong...
Dong Dong...
It rang several times.
"Sister Xiaoyin!" She shouted vaguely, "There's someone knocking on the door!"
"Ah? Really..." Qin Yin ran out of the house, opened the door, leaned out and took a look, then shrank back, "There is no one, Xiaolan, did you hear correctly?"
