I practice ruthless way

Fu Zhu had been standing silently by the side, noticing that the topic of marriage had finally passed, he leaned closer and rubbed his head against Xiao Man.Xiao Man patted it on the head, paying a little attention by the way, to explore the opportunity in his heart.The other end of the opportunity is connected to Yan Wushu, who is telling him that Yan Wushu is still on the small island to the south.

At this moment the small island is far away, in Xiao Man's field of vision, it is like a reef on the sea, standing still, letting the waves beat against it.

"Bie Daoist, can you do me a favor?" Xiao Man withdrew his gaze and turned his head to Bie Beilou.

"Draw the talisman from last time?" Xiao Man didn't need to say much, Bie Beilou guessed what he was asking for, but shook his head again and again, "I'm afraid it won't work, he has entered the holy realm of the Supreme Purity, that talisman can't fool him."

Xiao Man lowered his eyes: "That's fine."

His hands fell from Ah Tu's head to his back, rubbed its comfortable and soft fur, and dropped back to his side.

Bie Beilou changed his hand to hold the piano, and said to Xiao Man: "Speaking of which, Ling Guangjun provided you with a clue, you will follow this clue to investigate, and he will also investigate this clue. Since The things to be done are the same, why not cooperate and get twice the result with half the effort?"

Xiao Man didn't speak, Bie Beilou's voice was scattered in the wind and gradually faded away.

"The star pickers are the eyes and ears of the northern royal family, and Lord Ling Guang is the northern royal family. It will be more convenient for him to check the star pickers." Bie Beilou said again.

"Since you think it's convenient to have him around, then you go find him." Xiao Man raised his eyelids, his tone cold.

Bie Beilou: "He is very hostile to me, no way."

Xiao Man: "Just explain clearly, he is not the kind of unreasonable person."

These words made Bie Beilou raise his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was quite meaningful: "You actually think highly of him."

"Can you stop mentioning him?" Xiao Man stared at Bie Beilou with a paralyzed face.

"Through him, I can get to know you." Bie Beilou explained, seeing a bit of impatience on Xiao Man's face, he smiled helplessly, and talked about other things: "Okay, how do you plan to find Xingke?"

"Check their stronghold first." Xiao Man replied.

Bie Beilou asked again: "Do you know where their stronghold is?"

Xiao Man frowned.

He really didn't know where the star picker was.He knew very little about Star Pickers, the last time he heard about it was in the Northern Palace, the emperor asked Yan Wushu to stop the person who believed in me, and it was in the conditions he offered.

At that time, the eunuch next to the emperor said that if Yan had no books to help, he didn't care what he did to the star picker.

Does this mean that Yan Wushu was dissatisfied with Zhai Xingke a long time ago?Maybe, but it doesn't matter at this point.It was also at this moment that Xiao Man realized that he really had no connections in this world.

Bie Beilou deduced the answer from Xiao Man's expression, and said, "I don't know either, I'm not very interested in intelligence organizations in the mundane world."

The word "intelligence organization" in his words suddenly awakened Xiao Man, Xiao Man thought for a while, and said: "You can ask the dark pavilion."

"Do you know how to find the dark pavilion?" Bie Beilou's eyes were a little more curious and interested.

Xiao Man: "..."

Xiao Man still didn't know.

His expression was slightly dazed, but also secretly angry. He teased Bie Beilou, his usual frowning eyebrows stretched out, and curved like a crescent moon, very gentle.

After laughing, Bie Beilou said, "Fortunately, I know better about this."

"Please lead the way." Xiao Man said "please" to him.

Bie Beilou switched the Qin to his right hand, raised his left hand, and grabbed Xiao Man's arm.

The speed of the two people's Yufeng suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, they had crossed the sea and arrived at a rather lively town in the south of Xuantian Continent.

This kind of speed is definitely not something that practitioners in the Guiyuan Realm can possess, even people in the early Taixuan Realm have to work hard to achieve it, but Biebeilou's expression is indifferent, as usual.Xiao Man turned around to take a look, then sized him up a few more times, and asked, "What realm are you in?"

"The original realm is a bit high." Bie Beilou raised his eyes to the sky and said softly.

The lights in the city are still on, winding along the long street, and the street is next to the river, and the river is full of lights, reflecting a gorgeous and magnificent city.

Bie Beilou was in front, and took Xiao Man for a walk on the street, until they came to the door of a dyeing workshop.He knocked six times on the closed door, long and short, and when the door opened, he picked a flower branch from the air and handed it to the dye shop guy who opened the door.

"Please come in." The clerk of the dyeing workshop swept the faces of the two of them, stepped sideways out of the way, and gestured "Please" with his palms up.

Just like the last time he went to the dark pavilion in Shenjing City to buy news, the man led the two of them through the front hall to the backyard, pushed open a dark door, lit the lamps in the room, and invited them in.

However, the treatment was slightly different from last time. The guy turned around and served tea, which was very polite.

The two sat down at the table, and Bie Beilou cut straight to the point: "What is the price of the news about Star Picker?"

Xiao Man once had the experience of roughly calculating the money in the Qiankun Ring, and being mentally prepared.But the guy said: "You don't need money." The person he looked at was Xiao Man.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Man was puzzled.

The man saluted him: "There are two founders of the Dark Pavilion, one of whom is your master and the current manager of the Dark Pavilion. Master Shen once said that in a few years, the Dark Pavilion will be handed over to you hands."

"So if you have any questions, Young Pavilion Master, just ask."

His tone was serious, and his expression did not seem to be fake, and the habit of knocking on the door here was very secret, and he did not seem to be deceiving.

Xiao Man's eyes widened slightly, and there was a flash of surprise, but after the surprise, it was very complicated.

Was it Master's arrangement?According to his understanding of Shen Juan, doing this kind of thing is definitely not because he thinks that Xiao Man is capable of managing such an intelligence organization, but because he feels that he has a successor, so he happily quit.

As the name suggests, Shen Juan is really lazy.

So soon, this complicated mood turned into a silent sigh and frown.

Bie Beilou tilted his head and smiled slightly at Xiao Man.

Xiao Man took a sip of tea, and when he put down the tea bowl, he said to the waiter opposite: "I want to know the stronghold of Star Picker."

Whether to inherit the Dark Pavilion, or wait until the matter at hand is dealt with, and then talk to Shen Juan.But since his master gave it convenience, he certainly doesn't mind using it.

"Different from the Dark Pavilion, although the Star Pickers are also an intelligence organization, they belong to the royal family of the Northern Kingdom. They do not open their doors to do business, and their bases are not fixed." The staff of the Dark Pavilion immediately replied, "Just today, they abandoned a Approved stronghold. Where is the new one, it is unclear."

Xiao Man was slightly taken aback by these words, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising.And doing so can further prove that they are related to Wushi Jingzong, and even Hongyan Emperor Zhuangwang Buddha.

"Then how do they contact the royal family of the Northern Kingdom?" Xiao Man asked the second question.

"Rely on the Sitianjian." The clerk said again, "but also today, a fire broke out in the Sitianjian, and everything in the prison was burned. The chief of the Sitianjian felt ashamed of his incompetence and committed suicide."

suicide?

Xiao Man pursed his lips slightly, and said in his heart that it really fits the characteristics of a follower of the Red Flame Emperor Zhuang Wangfo, and it was like this in the secret realm of Juling Mountain, and he would not hesitate to sacrifice his own life to keep him in the secret realm.

He and Bie Beilou looked at each other, and they both saw such thoughts on the other's face.

"Can the dark pavilion find out their next movements?" Bie Beilou asked.

The guy shook his head: "The time is too short, so I don't know yet."

Xiao Man lowered his eyes, held the tea bowl with both hands, and stared at the candlelight reflected by the tea soup, as well as his own shadow.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Man said in a low voice: "After the Zen sect was exterminated, someone handed over the Buddhist altar that was kept by the Zen sect and sealed the deer of the Fallen Demon Fu Zhu to Lin Wu, the elder of Qingyun Peak in Gushan, and asked him to take it back to Gushan for disposal. Is there something strange about this?"

The assistant couldn't answer this matter right away, so he got up and cupped his hands at Xiao Man: "Young Pavilion Master, please wait a little while, and let my subordinates go to the back to check the files."

"Okay." Xiao Man nodded.

The clerk stepped into the dark room at the back, where Xiao Man and Bie Beilou waited for a while to get the answer.

"Zen Buddhism does not have the Buddhist altar you mentioned." The clerk handed a file to Xiao Man, and said softly, "The altar is from the hands of the star pickers."

The candlelight was dim, Xiao Man glanced at ten lines, and quickly scanned all the words.

What is said here is that the Buddhist altar that sealed the fallen demon deer on Mount Sumeru was supposed to be in Jiuyou, but it was brought to Xuantian Continent by a group of people who did not know their names and faces, and was handed over by a star picker to a Zen disciple. He brought it to Lin Wu.

There is no discrepancy with the news that Yan Wushu found out at the beginning, and the news brought back by Yuan Qu.Xiao Man handed the file back to him and said, "Thank you."

"It's the subordinate's job." The buddy hurriedly said.

Shenjing.

The imperial capital of Cang Kingdom, the most prosperous place in the north of Xuantian Continent.Starry night, sleepless night.String songs flutter in the wind, and lights shine quietly.

The silver-haired man in black clothes stepped across the sky above the imperial city, lowered his eyes for a glance, and walked to a certain pawn shop in an instant.He didn't knock on the door, but stepped on it again, and he went to the backyard.

All the rooms in the courtyard are empty, except for a cat lying on the wall of the courtyard, staring at the mouse in the hole.

He turned around and left, going to the other side of Shenjing, a coffin shop in a certain street and lane.

The shop is full of coffins, and the walls are covered with paper flowers, but there is no one.

He changed another place, followed by another, and finally came to Sitianjian.

After a big fire, the attic has been charred, except for the pungent smell blown by the wind, there is nothing else to be found.

Yan Wushu's face darkened slightly.The Star Reaper evacuated everyone in such a short period of time, so there must be a big move.They are like dripping water flowing into rivers, no longer wearing the skin of royal eyes and ears, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish among the crowd.

Since it is difficult to distinguish, it is better to wait for them to take action before targeting them.

But in this way, Xiao Man may be in danger.

Yan Wushu glanced south, and the opportunity in his heart told him that Xiao Man was still facing south.

However, there is another person beside Xiao Man, the little sage of Medicine Valley, don't leave the North Tower.

This person is very special. The strength shown in the secret realm of Juling Mountain is not something that a practitioner of the Guiyuan Realm who has just come out of the rivers and lakes can possess.Before going over, we must check the details of this person.

Thinking of this, Yan Wushu turned around and walked into the wind, and came to Qianyi Street, in front of a certain rouge shop.

Three long and three short, knock on the door six times, and when the door is opened, break off a branch at the door and hand it to the man who opens the door.

"Come in" came from inside.Yan Wushu walked in, familiar with the door and the way.

Walking to a room in the backyard, the clerk snapped his fingers, lit the lamp on the wall, turned his head and smiled at Yan Wushu, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Ling Guang, what are you looking for this time?"

"Check someone." Yan Wushu threw a gold bar onto the table.

"Who?" asked the man.

Yan Wushu: "The little sage of Medicine Valley don't leave the North Tower."

"Please wait a moment!" The man took the money, turned around and went to the dark room behind the wall, and after a while, he took out a scroll.

Yan Wushu opened his eyes.

The book on the paper is the detailed life of Biebeilou, but there is a comparison: one is the time when Yaogu announced that Biebeilou entered the medicine valley, and the other is the time that Biebeilou actually entered the medicine valley as found by the secret cabinet.

Biebeilou, known as the "little holy hand" by people in the Jianghu, is the apprentice of the holy hand Jiang Qingting. According to the investigation of the dark pavilion, the time when he entered the Medicine Valley was after Jiang Qingting's ascension.

This shows that he is not an apprentice personally accepted by Jiang Qingting, but evaluations in the Jianghu say that he behaves like a teacher.

interesting.

Yan Wushu raised his head from the scroll, and threw another gold bar out, narrowing his long and narrow eyes slightly: "Check one more person, Jiang Qingting, the sage of Medicine Valley."

"Please wait a moment." The man entered the dark room again.

After a while, Yan Wushu unfolded the second scroll, scanned all the records at a glance, and said "tsk": "Jiang Qingting really failed to ascend."

Xuantian Continent South.

As for the Star Picker, all the movements ended here. As for Wushi Jingzong and Hongyan Dizhuwang, the things from that year were burned so clean that they couldn't even find the secret pavilion.Bie Beilou took a sip of tea and asked Xiao Man, "What's the next plan?"

Xiao Man: "There are too few clues, and it is too difficult to investigate."

"That's right." Bie Beilou nodded.

"Since we can't find out, it's better to wait for them to surface on their own." After Xiao Man finished speaking, he said "Farewell" to his assistant, got up and shook his sleeves, and left through the back door of the dyeing workshop.

Bie Beilou walked behind him with Qin in his arms, and asked, "Are you going back to Gushan?"

"Not coming back for now." Xiao Man replied calmly.

"Then where is it?" Bie Beilou asked.

Xiao Man raised his eyes and swept the long street lit up like daylight, and said, "I want to see."
