Xiao Man didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior, but seeing the girl's reaction was so strong, he still retreated a little.Still holding the portrait in his hand, he waited for the person facing him to look more natural, and then asked: "Miss, have you seen this thing before?"

The woman put her hands on her waist again, glanced at Xiao Man's painting and then closed her eyes. She raised her head and asked, "This is what you are looking for? Even if I have seen it, why should I tell you?"

"So, the girl has met before?" Xiao Man smiled slightly.

He has been watching her with a good eye, never letting go of every detail change on that face, so although this is a question, he asked it with confidence.

The woman was really hit by Xiao Man's words, her expression froze for a moment, then her nose wrinkled, and she flicked her sleeves, without hiding anything, she asked directly: "What are you looking for?"

"Master's mission, I want to find this thing." Xiao Man replied.

"Teacher?" The woman repeated the two words in Xiao Man's words, hugged her arms, walked around Xiao Man, and looked carefully, "So, you are a practitioner?"

Xiao Man nodded: "Exactly."

The woman asked again: "That is to say, your teacher asked you to come to my house to get it?"

Xiao Man: "You can say that."

"This is something from my house. If you want it, I will give it to you?" The woman smiled, "There is no such cheap thing in the world!"

"I would like to pay for it, or exchange it with other things." Xiao Man said sincerely.

The woman shook her head: "I am not short of money or things."

Xiao Man rolled up the portrait in his hands, turned a step, faced the woman directly, and looked into her eyes seriously: "How can the girl be willing to give it?"

"No, no!" The woman answered very quickly, waved her hands at Xiao Man, turned her head and walked up the mountain.

Xiao Man followed and called "girl", but this time it was the woman's turn to ignore him.

He couldn't help but think of what Qu Hanxing said on the way here, no matter whether it is a low-level or high-level weapon, it is not easy to find it.

The woman is very familiar with these mountain roads, even when she comes to a rugged and steep place, she walks quite briskly and quickly.As a practitioner, Xiao Man was naturally not afraid of these hardships. After following Mo for about a cup of tea, the woman glanced back and said impatiently:

"Why have you been following me?"

"Didn't the girl always follow behind me before?" Xiao Man said.

The woman said unconvinced: "This is my family's mountain. I can go wherever I want. How can I ask to follow you?"

She continued to walk forward, Xiao Man kept a certain distance from her, and never thought of leaving.

A few minutes later, the forest came to an end, and a stream appeared in the field of vision.The woman quickened her pace and drank a handful of water from the stream, then sat down on a big rock to rest.

She pulled a piece of grass into her hand, played with it, looked up at the person who was following closely not far away, and said "Hello".

Xiao Man: "Yes."

The woman said: "You said it can be exchanged. Then no matter what I want, are you willing to get it for me?"

Xiao Man thought for a while and said, "The value cannot be too much higher than not hearing the bell."

"You know how to do business, and you know its name." She looked a little surprised, and then thought that what this person was looking for was Buwen Zhong, so naturally she should find out about it.Those little surprises disappeared from her eyes, and she asked again: "Do you know what its characteristics are?"

Xiao Man didn't know much about Bu Wen Zhong, so he pretended not to understand here, so he asked, "If Miss knows, can you tell me a little bit?"

"No one in the world can touch this thing except me, otherwise it will rot." Xiao Man didn't put the portrait back into the Qiankun ring, the woman raised her finger to it, looked back at Xiao Man's eyes, and said with a smile , "So, even if I gave it to you, it's as if you didn't find it."

"This..." Xiao Man was slightly taken aback, and then fell silent.

No one expected this point, let alone found out, seeing that the woman's expression did not seem to be fake, Xiao Man stood in the distance, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Miss, can you take me to see?"

He had thought that he would be rejected, and even thought about the countermeasures after being rejected. Unexpectedly, the woman did not hesitate and nodded at him directly: "Okay, follow me." After speaking, he got up from the stone and patted the top of the skirt. The dust and grass clippings began to lead the way.

Xiao Man still walked behind her, and after a while, he couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid that I'm a villain?"

"This is my family's territory. If you attack me, you will suffer first!" The woman smiled indifferently.

...that makes sense.

"My surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Man. What's the girl's name?" Xiao Man asked the woman in front.

"Shitang, the poetry of poetry and poetry, Tang is the Tang flower that will bloom soon and wither."

Her description of her name was a bit strange, but she didn't give Xiao Man any time to think about it. She pointed to a certain place ahead in the blink of an eye, and said, "Come, use the teleportation formation here."

There was a faint light under a Tang tree in the northwest. When they stepped on it, the teleportation formation showed traces on the ground.

This is a near-earth teleportation formation, which is not very advanced. Shitang fiddled with the formation a little, and the faint light turned into a bright brilliant light.The next moment, the two disappeared from the spot.

The destination of the teleportation is a certain courtyard, and lights are lit everywhere, illuminating the rockery, strange pine, flower garden and pool in the courtyard. Outside the long window, there is a person dressed as a maid sitting with a needle in his hand, embroidering.

"Miss, you're finally back!" Seeing Shitang, the servant girl put down her work and greeted her with joy, her eyes touched Xiao Man, and she was puzzled again, a little ashamed: "This is..."

Shitang flicked his sleeves and walked towards the house: "Bring it back to amuse me."

"That's all for fun, but you can't bring a young master?" The servant girl didn't question or even be surprised by her young lady's behavior, but she cared about Xiao Man's gender very much.She glanced at Xiao Man cautiously, and immediately lowered her eyes after the glance, and landed on the bluestone at her feet.

"What's the matter, young master? He's a good parent!" Shitang raised his waist and said, then waved his sleeves and said to Xiao Man, "Come on, follow me."

Shitang led Xiao Man through the courtyard several times, and walked to the top floor of an attic, and pushed open the long window.

"Bu Wen Zhong is there." She raised her chin out of the window and said to Xiao Man.

Xiao Man looked over, there was a small courtyard there, the walls were covered with violets, the flowering period had passed, and the scenery of drooping radishes like waterfalls could not be seen, but the wind-moving branches and leaves were still soft and beautiful.

The Buwen Bell was placed on the low table in the middle, its whole body was silver and white, very similar to the portrait Wei Chuyun found, quietly reflecting the stars and moonlight falling from the sky.

"My father said it was a bell, but I think it looks like a bowl." Shitang said softly, "It was here before I was born, and everyone in the family is forbidden to approach it, except me."

"Because only I can touch it and keep it from breaking."

"Why are you the only one who can touch it?" Xiao Man was very puzzled.

Shitang shrugged: "You ask me, who should I ask? My father, my grandfather, and my ancestors don't even know about it."

Xiao Man's gaze returned to Bu Wen Zhong.The silver bell stands here quietly, without being hung high, and it will not move even if the wind blows, so people passing by here will naturally not hear the sound.

He finds it very strange that the Poet family owns a mountain and must have rich financial resources, but in order to preserve a low-level magic weapon, it is too much to seal this small courtyard and prohibit entry and exit?

There must be a cause and effect. Is there anything special about not hearing the bell?

Shitang has no aura fluctuations in her body, and has no cultivation level. She is an ordinary person. If you ask her, you may not find the answer.So Xiao Man skipped this topic and just asked:

"Can you be the one to give it to me?"

"As long as you agree to do one thing for me." Shitang stretched out a finger.

Xiao Man: "Please tell me."

"I want to dance."

Shitang turned around, pointed out the window, and pointed to the east, "I want to dance in the festival in Shenjing, the place called 'Famous Flowers'!"

She spoke loudly, her eyes fell into the distance, full of longing and firmness.

The moonlight elongated her shadow, and the wind rolled up her sleeves. Xiao Man looked sideways at her and felt that he had seen something, but he set his mind to search, but found nothing.

But Xiao Man thought of a question: "If it is true as you said, no one can touch the unsounding bell except you, how can I get it?"

"Master Xiao, this is your business." Shitang put down her hands and smiled slyly.

Xiao Manxin said that it was indeed so, his expression remained unchanged, and he said softly: "I want to discuss with my companions."

Shitang nodded: "Of course."

"I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"I'll take you out."

The two walked out of the attic, and Shitang sent Xiao Man outside the door.

The mountain was full of stars and the moonlight was quiet, Xiao Man dressed in white and walked away suddenly.

"Miss, the medicine is ready." The maid who was embroidering in the courtyard before walked to Shitang's side, glanced in the direction Xiao Man left, and said softly.

Shitang waved his hand: "Bring it here."

"Yes."

The maid served four or five cups of medicine in succession.

Xiao Man, Qu Hanxing and the others agreed to meet at the beginning of Haishi, at an inn on the street where they drink tea during the day.It's not time yet, but since we have received the news of Buwen Zhong, there is no need for the rest of the people to continue searching, Xiao Man quickly took out the talisman paper to send a message.

He went away against the wind, and when he arrived, the remaining three people who were all in Yuntai Town hadn't arrived yet, so they lit a lamp, made a pot of tea, and waited patiently.

Wei Chuyun came back first, followed by Qu Hanxing and Mo Juntian.Earlier in the sound transmission talisman, Xiao Man had already told what happened on Tiger Drum Mountain, so there was no need to start, and Qu Hanxing was the first to speak.

"I know that this famous flower is so famous. When I was inquiring in the town before, I heard people talking about it. You have to be the first among many performances in the festival before you can go on stage to perform."

He sat across from Xiao Man, and poured himself a bowl of tea unceremoniously.

"It is said that it is an extremely grand scene, and the emperor, officials, ordinary people in the city, and tourists who come to visit the festival can all see it. If you can play a tune or dance on it, you will be famous all over the world! "

This is what it means to be extremely difficult to climb up.

Xiao Man frowned, Shitang raised a difficult condition for him.He tapped his fingers on the table a few times, took a sip of the white water at hand, and asked, "How can I perform at the festival?"

"I don't know." Qu Hanxing spread his hands, "Didn't someone say that sleeve dance would be performed at the festival during the day? Go there tomorrow to find out!"

That's the only way things are, Xiao Man nodded and said, "Everyone has worked hard all day, so let's rest earlier."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, and I bought some scripts along the way." Qu Hanxing smiled and waved his hands, "It's different near the capital. There are more scripts than Huamancheng. I haven't read many of them!"

The three of Qu Weimo left, the lights in the room went out, Xiao Man lay down on the bed with his clothes on, closed his eyes and waited for the next day.

The dawn of Yuntai Town was later than that of Gushan. When Xiao Man woke up at that time on weekdays, it was still gray outside.

There are a few stalls scattered on the street, and the vendors are busy selling breakfast later, and occasionally chatting a few words when they are free.Xiao Man got up, performed a cleansing technique, walked out the window to the street, and ordered a bowl of beef noodles from one of the small stalls.

The beef here tastes different from that in Gushan. The ingredients on Gushan contain aura, while the one in Yuntai Town does not. The meat is a little rougher, but the soup is well-cooked and full of flavor.

The noodle soup was also sprinkled with green onion and coriander, Xiao Man didn't eat this before, but for some reason, today's smells very fragrant.

He tasted some.

"I heard that the girls who came back from Xiuwu got into a fight last night!"

"Isn't this unusual? In recent days, they have been arguing every day, so it's strange if they don't fight."

There was a conversation not far away, the owner of the noodle shop was chatting with the young man who sold sesame seed cakes and fried dough sticks, Xiao Man paused for picking noodles.

"Three of them accidentally broke their ankles and couldn't dance for a short time. The proprietress is in a hurry!"

"The festival will be in a few days, it's very urgent!"

Xiao Man just made a movement, and put a hand on his shoulder.

"You need to go early, I'll go find out." Wei Chuyun's voice sounded.

He sits back.

Xiuwuhui is on this street, and it can be reached in the blink of an eye with the steps of a practitioner.

The noodles in Xiao Man's bowl didn't go down much, Wei Chuyun came back and nodded to him: "It's true, the boss of Xiuwuhui stayed up all night in a hurry, and he is contacting Wuji everywhere. This can be used."

"Could this be...too a coincidence?" Xiao Man put down his chopsticks and asked in a low voice.

"It's a coincidence, but it's not always true." Wei Chuyun shook his head, "Yesterday we saw them arguing in the yard with our own eyes, not to mention whether they can lead the dance at the festival, it is very likely that it will affect the rest of their lives, and it is normal to fight."

This is not without reason.

"How are you going to use this?"

Wei Chuyun smiled: "I got a lot of talisman papers last time."

Xiao Man immediately understood: "You plan to use magic tricks to help Miss Shi get in."

"That's right." Wei Chuyun whispered, "This is a ten-year festival, and all aspects are strictly guarded. We can't let Miss Shi appear alone. And the boss plans to find a few familiar people who are easy to discipline. Dancer, if you directly recommend or ask for it, it will be extremely difficult, so it is better to use magic tricks to get away with it."

"Actually, there is another way—to stuff money."

Mo Juntian appeared yawning, and interjected in a low voice, "However, stuffing money may not accomplish anything, after all, this festival is very important. So let's use spells directly, and take that kind of talisman paper that can confuse people."

"That's exactly the reason." Wei Chuyun affirmed.

"I want a bowl of noodle soup." Mo Juntian sat down and said to the boss.

The four-person team was short of one person, and when Qu Hanxing was still asleep after eating the noodles, Mo Juntian decided to help him wake up.

Mo Juntian grabbed Zhang Bingfu and went up.

After a while, I heard Qu Hanxing yelling and rushing down the stairs.

They used light-weight amulets to speed up and arrived at the house on the hillside of Tiger Drum Mountain at sunrise.

Xiao Man went to knock on the door.

Thinking about Shitang's orders, the servant girl led them in without asking any further questions.

Shitang got up, wearing a bamboo green dress, sitting in the courtyard watching the birds pecking, seeing Xiao Man and the others coming, she pushed the maid back.

Xiao Man cut to the chase: "Sleeve Dancer is preparing for the song and dance at the festival, they are missing three people, we can let you in."

"Just me?" Shitang was startled when he heard the words, and immediately shook his head and waved his hands: "No way!"

Her reaction was beyond Xiao's expectations: "What are you going to do?"

"You guys have to go with me!" Shitang got up from the chair and walked in front of Xiao Man, "I've never been to that sleeve dance resort, I'm not familiar with the place, what should I do if something goes wrong?"

"Since they are short of three people, Xiao Man, and any one of you, come with me!"

This time it was Xiao Man's turn to be shocked.

Qu Hanxing's hand holding the folding fan trembled a little: "We are all men, but the sleeve dancers are all girls, how can we accompany you?"

"It's easy!" Shitang smiled, and waved his hands vigorously, "You can just pretend to be girls!"

The four of Xiao Man were naturally unwilling.

Shitang half-closed her eyes, and began to threaten: "If something goes wrong with me, don't even think about taking it away without hearing the bell!"
