Buddhist master [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 68 The Top of the Forbidden City

In the evening, Wu Zheng and Liu Zhou came to Miaocheng.

These few days in Miaocheng are the festivals of the local ethnic minorities. The streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns and festoons, and people wear colorful clothes to wish each other blessings.

It was late, and the two finally found an inn and settled down in it.

The room is very small with only one bed, so it will be crowded if two big men sleep together.No way, this is also the last guest room in this inn, if they don't stay, they will have to sleep on the street.

Liu Zhou stared at the small bed and said very dissatisfied: "It's even smaller than I imagined!"

Wuzheng said: "I'll sleep on the floor. I used to herd sheep on the mountain, and the bed in the hut was almost the same as the floor. I'm used to it."

He didn't mean anything special when he said this, he just wanted to help.Liu Zhou showed an even more unhappy expression, and said: "This bed is not that small, you don't need to let me. Besides, I may not be able to sleep tonight."

He didn't give Wu Zheng a chance to come and argue with me, he pushed the door open and said, "I'm going out for a while, you can do whatever you want."

Wu Zheng was stunned and asked, "Where are you going?"

Liu Zhou's face was a little dignified, and he said lightly, "Go see a friend."

He walked out the door, and the sound of footsteps hurried away.

Wu Zheng didn't know that Liu Zhou still had friends here, and the other party was very happy along the way, and didn't mention a word about it.It stands to reason that Liu Zhou has a bright personality and doesn't like to keep secrets, but after entering Miaocheng, he suddenly became gloomy, with a dignified aura covering his whole body.

This Miao city was on a festival, and it was joyful and peaceful, but after Liu Zhou entered the city, he began to talk less and less, his brows were often frowned, and they sighed quietly more than a dozen times during the short time they were in the inn.Wu Zheng felt a little worried, but he didn't know how to express it.After all, they are friends and brothers in name, but in fact they are just two people who have just met, and they are far from the point where they can talk to each other.

Wu Zheng guessed that this matter should have something to do with the other party's friends.

Liu Zhou liked to brag about how many masters he had defeated, but he never mentioned his friends.In the past, Wu Zheng thought it was because Liu Zhou was a complete lone ranger, but after thinking about it carefully, even a lone ranger should have friends.Not to mention three or five confidants, there is still at least one; even if there is no one now, there should always be one.

Liu Zhou kept his friend secret, coupled with today's weird behavior, could it be that the other party and his friend turned against each other?

Thinking of this possibility, Wu Zheng felt a little worried.

Not to mention Murong Bai, he also has a good impression of Liu Zhou, after all, the other party is the first person who approached him in this strange world, and pointed out the way for him, a headless fly.

Liu Zhou never cared about his enemies, and he had a smile on his face when he killed someone.And this time the other party is so serious, it should be that he attaches great importance to that friend, but it is a pity that the two have turned against each other for various reasons.

Two people who have turned against each other, why should they meet again?

The answer emerged in Wuzheng's mind: Make a break.

He stood up suddenly from the bed, couldn't stay any longer, walked all the way to the lobby, saw gorgeous girls walking past with smiles at the door, the happy scene was like cold water pouring off his head, calming him down.

He rubbed his temples and said to himself: What are you thinking about?Why can't people just go and get back together?

Besides, Liu Zhou had been so obvious before that he didn't want him to intervene, so it was not appropriate for him to go.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng was depressed for a while, so he found a table and sat down, ordered broad beans and peanuts to drink, and sat in the lobby listening to the news while waiting for Liu Zhou to come back.

The evening light gradually dimmed, and the lights in the inn were lit.

After a tiring day, Wu Zheng felt drowsy, and when he was about to pack up his things and go upstairs, a group of people walked up to him.

The leader of this group was a man with a very pointed chin, which reminded Wu Zheng of the awl face that is quite popular in some worlds.But the other party is not a beautiful woman, but a short man with three-dimensional eyes and a beard.

With his hands behind his back, he walked up to Wu Zheng, and said very politely: "Young Xia, can you let us sit here?"

Wu Zheng ate about the same, and was about to say yes, when he suddenly saw a lot of empty tables around him from the corner of his eye.

He became suspicious now, and asked: "There are empty tables everywhere, why do you want me to have this one?"

The leader's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "I don't know, young man, there will be lanterns and floats on the street after a while, and your position is the best for viewing. I saw that young man was about to finish eating, so I dared to ask, to save time Someone has robbed this place. If Young Xia finds me abrupt, then I can apologize."

Wu Zheng shook his head: "No, no. I really have to go, everyone please sit down."

He got up to get out of the way, looked back at the stairs, but saw that those people did not sit down.They hurriedly picked up all the dishes, wine bottles and other things on the table. The leader looked around on the table solemnly, then suddenly smiled and nodded.

The rest of the people looked relieved, put the things back on the table, and then sat down with peace of mind.

Wu Zheng judged almost immediately that these people didn't want to see the lanterns and floats at all.

Their purpose is something on the table.Judging from their actions just now, it is likely to be a message painted or engraved on the table.

what's on the table

Wuzheng recalled it quickly, and confirmed that there must be nothing under the dishes that were served later.The positions of these things change frequently, and it is not safe for anyone to see the paintings below.

The one thing that hasn't moved on the table is... the chopstick holder!By the way, there is indeed a little unevenness under the chopstick barrel, and it is not stable, it should be there!

What needs to be decided now is whether to join in the fun.

Although this group of people were friendly just now, they were all masters, and they spoke nicely to themselves to avoid trouble.If you approach him yourself, the other party will definitely become suspicious, and if you are cruel, you may directly attack in a dark corner.

But on the other hand, Wu Zheng had a strong premonition that the things on that table were related to Murong Bai.

Miaocheng is now (claimed) Murong Bai's hiding place, and Murong Bai is a public enemy of the martial arts.

When Wu Zheng entered the city, he clearly felt that there were a lot of masters on the street, and there were dragons and crouching tigers hidden among passersby, shop owners, and girls celebrating festivals.When he walked through the crowd, he could feel countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

These people are all here for Murong Bai.

But here and now, a group of masters suddenly entered an inn, and asked a stranger in the lobby to give up his seat to find the information on the table.

No matter how you think about it, this matter is related to Murong Bai.

...can't pretend not to know.

Wuzheng turned around, walked casually to the table, smiled in the eyes of all the masters: "I'm sorry, I still have some wine and food left, after thinking about it, I can't waste it, let me take it back to my room."

The masters all showed strange looks, and one of them taunted: "Young Xia is a good housekeeper!"

Wuzheng said without changing his expression: "Yes, who told me to be poor."

Before Wu Zheng finished speaking, the only woman in the group looked vigilant, her hand was already on her hairpin.

The leader with a pointed chin shook his head slightly and said: "Young hero doesn't need to eat the leftovers. I haven't thanked you for giving up your seat just now, so I'll invite you today. Whatever you want to eat, just ask If the store wants it, charge it to my account."

The other party became suspicious.

If Wu Zheng insisted on moving the things on the table at this time, these people would not show mercy.

The pointed chin stared at Wu Zheng, watching his next move.

Should the other party go or stay?

But Wu Zheng didn't insist on it, didn't walk away, but with a happy face, he rushed over to his pointed chin and said, "Thank you! I just didn't eat enough... Ah, I'm sorry!"

His movements were too large, and he rushed over and knocked down the chopsticks barrel on the edge. The chopsticks barrel tilted and fell to the ground, and all the chopsticks inside spilled out.

Everyone: "..."

Wuzheng turned from joy to sorrow, with an embarrassing expression on his face, he hurriedly bent over to pick up the chopsticks.

The pointed chin didn't expect him to do it like this, he was stunned for a moment, then he pulled Wu Zheng up and said, "No need to pick it up, let's do it ourselves."

Wu Zheng said, "I'm sorry!"

With a pointed chin, he said, "Young man, it's all right. Let's go!"

Wu Zheng said: "I..."

The pointed chin said: "Let's go!"

Wu Zheng nodded sadly, turned and went upstairs.

The pointed chin gathered the chopsticks and picked them up. The woman who was traveling with her frowned and said, "Boss, that person was very strange just now. Could he be Murong Bai's accomplice?"

"Just now, he didn't look at the table." A bystander said.

"Ye Sanniang, don't be suspicious of others. Maybe they are just a little curious?" Another person said.

Ye Sanniang said sternly: "This matter is of great importance, I would rather kill by mistake than let it go!"

The pointed chin stretched out his hand to keep everyone quiet, and shook his head: "Okay, stay steady, don't cause trouble. Even if that guy is really an enemy, what kind of storm can he make? Everyone here is a master! Remember, our The only target is Murong Bai!"

Ye Sanniang was silent for a moment and said, "But that man's curiosity really makes me uncomfortable."

With a pointed chin, he said coldly: "Don't worry, Sanniang, when Murong is in vain, the leader owes us a big favor, why don't you just kill whoever you want? Just kill those small characters."

He looked around and said in a low voice: "Do it at midnight tonight, don't startle the snake, follow our plan, do you understand?"

Everyone looked solemn and agreed together, then left separately and disappeared in the inn.

****

Wu Zheng returned to his room and heard his heart pounding.

When the chopstick barrel was overturned, he saw the mark engraved on it out of the corner of his eye.

Three horizontal and four vertical, intersecting into a well shape.

The levels of inn rooms are arranged according to Tiandi Xuanhuang, and the third is the Xuanzi room.

The Xuanzi room is also divided into Xuanzi No. [-] room and Xuanzi No. [-] room... There are a total of twenty Xuanzi rooms in this inn.

Three horizontal and four vertical, which means room No. [-] in Xuanzi.

This is the room of Wu Zheng and Liu Zhou.
