In a closed room in Qingxingfang, the vitality was turbulent, like a whirlpool.Fortunately, a high-level defensive formation had been set up around it long ago to cover up all the movements.

Zhou Rong kept his cultivation posture unchanged, with his brows furrowed.In his dantian, there was a faint tendency of the devil energy to break through, and it was rushing to destroy the meridians in his body.

Meng Tianshen stuck upright on the ground in front of him, as if sensing the restless demon energy, the scabbard hummed and vibrated endlessly.

Now is not the best time to break through. His strength is only in the golden core stage. Even with the blessing of blood, he still cannot fully control the magic energy.

For him now, the best way is to seal it.

Meng Tianshen came out of the sheath, Zhou Rong opened his eyes, stretched out his right hand, his fingertips were already covered by demon energy, and his nails became pitch black and ferocious.

The devilish energy that was rampant in his body finally found an outlet, poured it into his natal sword along his fingers, and his dantian regained its calm.

The core formation engraved on the sword was sensed and began to gradually seal the powerful magic energy in it.

Zhou Rong's expression returned to normal, and with a swipe of the palm, the Mengtian God who was standing in the air immediately returned to his hand.

The defensive formation arranged in the room suddenly dissipated, and when he was about to walk out, he stopped abruptly, turned his head to look in one direction, and his eyes darkened a bit.

There is Shuangyan Square...

Didn't you say you can't come to Zhongzhou? Why did you come here quietly without telling him?

Zhou Rong quietly clenched the hilt of the sword with his fingers.

In the past two days, an intermittent memory, or a dream, has inexplicably appeared in his mind. It is not very clear, but it is related to Li Canran.

It's how much she likes him that makes her worry about gains and losses.

His expression quickly regained his composure, no matter what, he had to deal with his own affairs first.

Turning in through the open window of the building, I saw an extremely elegantly decorated bedroom, with landscape calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the shelf next to the screen was full of porcelain.

"Host, isn't it good to barge into the room like this without saying hello?" Xiao Tong looked at the room furnishings in front of him, frowning and wondering.

"There's nothing wrong with it. The window is open to let people in." Li Canran said as a matter of course.

Xiao Tong:?

There is a dressing table and a bronze mirror beside the wooden window. The table is messy, and there are all kinds of headdresses and scarves, the most conspicuous of which are a few masks used for singing.

Li Canran stretched out his fingers to put aside these facial makeups, and saw a small jade plaque inside, with a red string hanging on it.

Xiaotong saw it: "This is an identity card."

"Can you enter the auction house?"

"perhaps……"

"Take it or not?"

"Huh?" Xiaotong didn't hear clearly.

Li Canran repeated it again, and stopped his finger on the top of the jade tablet, only an inch away, "I asked you to take it or not?"

Xiaotong was silent for a second, then nodded and said: "Take it." After speaking, it instantly felt that it was in the same boat.

Hearing the desired answer, Li Canran simply held the jade tablet in his hand, felt something turned it over, and saw a word engraved on it.It is probably the surname of the owner of the jade card, which is a "Li".

...is still a family.

Without looking too much, he simply took the jade token and walked downstairs.Walking to the door, there were a few slow footsteps.

Li Canran stopped his hands and held his breath.

The footsteps soon disappeared, and no one opened the door to come in.

Xiaotong exhaled, it was about to die of tension.

Li Canran gently pushed open the door, and there was a narrow aisle outside, with a railing on one side, looking down from the top along the railing, there was a lonely stage below, densely piled up with groceries, and there were no seats for spectators.

He walked along the aisle, and there were voices coming from the half-closed door. The voices of men and women intertwined, speaking quickly and crisply.

Xiaotong was startled, and immediately hid behind his host.

Li Canran's face was calm, but he dared to stop and listen for a while.

It turned out that this was a building where opera was rehearsed. There were about a dozen people, all of whom had a good singing voice, and were carefully raised by Wu Qingwei Hua Yinzi.

In addition, he also heard good news that the owner of the jade tablet was a man, and he didn't come here today due to some business.

"Great." Li Canran said in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Tong watched as he pulled out a face mask for singing from the storage bag, and covered it skillfully.

"Will it be too risky?" Xiaotong said with a little worry.

"will not."

"..."

"What about the voice? Or—"

Before Xiaotong finished his conversation, he pushed the door open and walked out.

As expected, there were guards guarding the building outside, and he glanced at him casually, then his eyes froze, and hesitantly said: "You are..."

"Go out for a while." Li Canran said in a calm voice.

The guard who had just been sent here and hadn't stayed for a month realized it and moved out of the way, but he was still a little puzzled, "Why do you wear a performance on your face..."

"The sun is too big, sunscreen."

"What?"

Li Canran: "I'll give you one."

"Huh?" The guard stretched out his hand in bewilderment, and took the face mask he handed over, "I..."

When he couldn't figure out how to refuse, the person in front of him had already walked away.

He looked up at the weather again, and muttered, "The sun is indeed quite big."

……

Coming out of the theater building in Shuangyan Square, he walked around for a long time, and finally came to the entrance of the auction house.On the way, Li Canran met a man wearing a puppet mask. The two stared at each other in silence for a while, then looked away from each other.

The auction house has a nice name called "Lingyin Building", but from the outside, the building is magnificent and full of people, it doesn't look like you want Lingyin at all.

On the top of the door beam, there is a carving of a raven bird that Li Canran is very familiar with, with its wings stretched out and it looks lively.

The corners of his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but want to complain.

Why can I see this broken bird everywhere I go?If I like birds so much, I might as well call this imperial city Birds.

He felt that not only Dabai, but even himself may have a disease of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Xiaotong was also speechless for a moment: "Host, don't look at it, go in."

Lowering his eyebrows, Li Canran calmed down, and while walking towards the door, he asked, "How long has it been since I cast the spell?"

"Less than a quarter of an hour."

"Why is there no response from Spirit Words?"

It was said that a quarter of an hour had passed, and there should be some clues about finding someone, but now it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there was no news.

Xiao Tong shook his head, guessing: "Perhaps the person is hidden in a very hidden place, blessed with forbidden spells or seals, so it is difficult to find."

Li Canran said: "If Zhong Shan hadn't lied, and his grandson was really considered to be made into a human furnace, then there must be a transaction. It may be done secretly, or it may be done openly."

So now he has to find out whether there is any activity of buying and selling children in this auction house.

After queuing for a while, it was finally his turn. He handed over a jade badge in his hand, and the person in charge of checking the ID badge immediately raised his head. He was surprised, and instead of asking more questions, he said: "plz follow me."

Li Canran's expression changed slightly after the facial makeup, but he followed calmly.

A doorman of Lingyin Building lowered his head and led him for a while to another place where the auction was in progress.When he was about to routinely take him to a box he used to go to, Li Canran stopped in his tracks.

His eyesight is very good, and he can tell at a glance that the thing being auctioned on the stage is a calligraphy and painting of famous people.Taking another look at the surrounding environment, the people sitting there are all elegantly dressed people.

Xiaotong said in his heart: "It can't be here."

Li Canran also thought so, probably the owner of the jade plaque liked to come here the most, that's why the doorman took him to this place without asking any questions.

Seeing the footsteps behind him stop, the doorman raised his head, looked back in confusion, and then heard a clear voice coming from behind the black mask, "Who said you came here?"

The doorman was stunned for two seconds, and reminded: "But you said that you have taken a fancy to a long scroll of flowers and birds here, and you must come and buy it, and the shooting will start soon."

"I won't buy it." The voice behind the face paused for a while, as if thinking for a while, and then said, "Take me to the most exciting place here."
