Chapter 7: A slight smile
After getting Huang Wuji's reply, the stall owner quickly packed up the things on the stall, just a big wooden box that was propped up, and turned the tray placed on it upside down, like a falling stone, all the jade pendants were poured into the wooden box, pulled out a thick hemp rope, hung it on his shoulder, and made a please tidy up, and said: "Two sons, there are too many people in the city, you must follow me, otherwise you will be separated later, but it will be difficult to find!"
Huang Wuji and Bai Xiaosheng looked at each other and smiled slightly, the small stall owner was a little interesting, nodded randomly and said, "Don't worry, you can't lose it!" The stall owner laughed, led the way, squeezed through the crowd, carried a large suitcase, and walked towards the other side of the street.
"Let's keep up!" Huang Wuji stabbed Bai Xiaosheng in the back, his thumb was hidden a little back, Bai Xiaosheng nodded, indicating that he understood. Just after Huang Wuji and Bai Xiaosheng followed, the three waves of people behind him also discovered this situation. I saw that the three waves of people discussed together, and after unifying their opinions, one left, and the remaining few people followed quickly.
Huang Wuji expected that the person who was following him would continue to follow, and when he turned around as if talking to Bai Xiaosheng, he looked at the crowd around him, his heart was dark, and he whispered: "Shijie, there is one less person who is tracking, I think it should be back to report the news, the situation is a little bad!" When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, his small eyes were half-narrowed, and the Dao essence light crossed his eyes, and he lowered his head and pondered for a while and said: "There is no problem, it must be that we have stayed in front of the stall for too long, which has attracted their attention, and we need someone to report back, so it shouldn't be a big problem!"
Through Bai Xiaosheng's analysis, Huang Wuji was a fan of the authorities, and soon thought of this, nodded and did not speak, the two deliberately talked in a low voice, observing the people who were following behind them from time to time, while following the stall owner.
After walking for about half an hour, through seven or eight streets, and finally came to a somewhat remote path, there were many fewer people, and the noisy and prosperous scene formed a certain contrast and decayed a lot, and the people walking around were all in a hurry, as if there was something very important, the clothing was not as good as the most ordinary silk clothes outside the square, the clothes were very rough, and they should be made of linen.
Among these people, the clothing of the stall owner is of a medium level, and it seems that life is good. Huang Wuji looked at the surrounding situation, knowing that this was the civilian area of Daoxu City, and most of the ordinary people with relatively small incomes should live here, and the further he went, the more decayed, dirty and messy, littered everywhere, and a foul smell followed.
Huang Wuji and Bai Xiaosheng have lived a privileged life since childhood, one is a royal noble, and the other is a prince of a family, who asked about this sour smell, and couldn't help frowning, raised his one hand, and gently covered his nose, and the sour smell suddenly weakened a lot. The stall owner looked back and saw the movements of the two, a trace of resentment flashed on his face, and it was gone in a blink of an eye, but it still aroused Huang Wuji's vigilance.
stabbed Bai Xiaosheng in the back, Bai Xiaosheng whispered in his ear: "It's weird, I look at this small stall owner, it seems that something is wrong!" Bai Xiaosheng also noticed this, the reversed silver cross pupils slowly opened, a huge power that seemed to be able to see through the hearts of all people, silently and slowly diffused, looking at the back of the stall owner, for a moment the stall owner suddenly felt as if he was not wearing clothes, the merchant was seen through twice, a chill from the back to the top of the head, 35,600 hairs around the body stood up at the same time, drops of cold sweat slid down from the forehead down the cheeks, and fell on the upper of the shoes.
This feeling came and went quickly, but it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, and the stall owner thought he was sick, so he didn't care too much, he quietly touched a cold sweat, relaxed his cheeks and showed a smile, looked back at Huang Wuji and Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Two, Beigang is almost here, you can see Xu Mingcheng later!"
"That's good, I haven't seen Xu Mingcheng for more than ten years, and I don't know if it's changed!" Huang Wuji said casually. The stall owner turned his head, with a cruel and vicious smile on his face, and secretly thought in his heart: "I haven't seen it for more than ten years, I don't know who Xu Mingcheng is, eighty percent heard it from there, I want to explore the bottom of Lao Tzu, wait for you to feel good, and give fifty spirit stones casually, the value must be very rich, and you should be able to get a lot."
The further we went, the fewer pedestrians there were, and the wider streets narrowed, as if we had come to an alley, and the walls that were not tall were shrouded in the moonlight, revealing shadows that covered the surrounding light. The three waves of people who followed behind Huang Wuji, like a spiritual rhino, slowly merged with the shadows under the wall, like shadows, constantly shuttling in the shadows, as if they didn't use their spiritual power to look carefully, the naked eye at night couldn't see a single star at all.
"Shijie is interesting, I didn't expect these to actually shadow escape, it should all be people from the Daoxu Sect, I don't know if it's the people of the main line, or the people of several other main peaks!" Huang Wuji saw the three waves of people fleeing into the shadows, and immediately guessed the origin of these people, the shadow escape belongs to one of the hidden techniques of the Daoxu Sect, although other sects also have similar escape techniques, but the most subtle of the Daoxu Sect can be seen at a glance.
Bai Xiaosheng's eye of truth did not converge at all, but it was transferred from the stall owner's body to the shadow of the wall, and a clear figure appeared in his eyes like a white sun, and he couldn't help sneering, revealing a deep and compelling chill, and said sharply: "Yes, it is indeed the shadow of the Daoxu Sect, it seems that several forces behind the Drunken Immortal Building can't help but make a move!"
"Haha, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, just a few ants, there is no need to take it to heart, wait for me to clean it up together!"
Bai Xiaosheng knew that what Huang Wuji said was true, although it was very strange why he had to find a person named Xu Mingcheng, but when he saw the jade, that kind of excited expression could not be deceived. Doubts are doubts, Bai Xiaosheng didn't ask it, the brothers who just met each other, asking some embarrassing things at this time will only hurt the relationship between the two, it is completely unnecessary, I believe that when the time comes, Huang Wuji will say it himself.
"That's all there is to it. However, the guy leading the way in front of me, I could see that he was uneasy and kind. I know a little bit about the road in Daoxu City, although this is Beigang, but the direction doesn't seem to be right, it's not towards the south alley, it seems to have been going north, it should have come to the south alley!" Bai Xiaosheng's eyes were surrounded by silver light, constantly looking at the surrounding environment, corresponding to the stars in the sky, and said without thinking.
"I also noticed, Xu Mingcheng must find it, adapt to the situation, and see what tricks this guy can play!" Huang Wuji didn't believe that there were people who could threaten Dao himself in the slums of Daoxu City, and he had to get Xu Mingcheng's real address, so he could only stand still and see the final purpose of the stall owner, so as to make a final decision.
Huang Wuji is also afraid of chickens and eggs, Xu Mingcheng has something he wants in his hands.
Follow the stall owner to keep moving forward, gradually there are fewer and fewer pedestrians, the surrounding darkness is like a dead silence, even if a pedestrian occasionally walks out of the shadows, he looks fierce and vicious, and when he looks at Huang Wuji and Bai Xiaosheng, there is a vicious cold light in his eyes from time to time. However, after seeing the stall owner, he shook his head, turned away, and disappeared into the shadows.
The stall owner seemed to be afraid that Huang Wuji and Bai Xiaosheng would find out something, so he pretended to be nervous and said, "The two sons will be here soon." There are a lot of wicked people in the slums here, and they still have a little face, so they won't trouble you!" Huang Wuji didn't speak, nodded casually and agreed. When the stall owner saw that the two had no intention of leaving, he immediately relieved himself and continued to lead the way, ecstatic in his heart, as if a large sum of wealth was about to arrive.
After passing through the narrow passage, the surrounding environment gradually opened up, the bright moonlight sprinkled down, a huge shadow sat in front of it, a firelight, illuminating the surroundings, four high pillars stood in front of the house, the wide vermilion gate hung two lion's mouth knockers, in front of the door stood dozens of guards patrolling back and forth with swords.
Huang Wuji couldn't help but smile, looked at the stall owner, and said disdainfully: "This is what you said, Beigang to the south of the small alley!" Before the stall owner came to the gate, he became arrogant, his kind attitude suddenly changed greatly, and he said with a fierce face: "Boy, obediently go with me, just ask for money and don't hurt people, otherwise, wait for your hardship!"
"It turned out to be a black shop, then what you said about Xu Mingcheng is also fake!" Huang Wuji didn't care, but wanted to know if Xu Mingcheng really lived here. The stall owner seemed to have settled on Huang Wuji and Bai Xiaosheng, and he didn't hide it, and said gloomily: "Xu Mingcheng does have this person, and he also lives in the small alley to the south of Beigang, the third one on the left. It's just that we're not neighbors. Seeing that you are so well dressed, you must have been uneasy and kind to come to him. As long as you hand over all the spirit stones, I can take you there!"
"It's funny, I didn't expect that the goose was finally pecked by the goose all year round, Shijie, the two of us have also encountered a robbery!" Huang Wuji laughed, and the laughter passed through the sky and in front of the gate in front of him. Dozens of powerful guards heard the laughter, and immediately became alert, and quickly ran towards Huang Wuji's position, the sword at his waist had already been drawn out and held in his hand, and a bloodthirsty murderous aura came towards him.
In an instant, Huang Wuji, Bai Xiaosheng, and the stall owner were firmly surrounded in the middle, and swords faced each other, and waves of compelling murderous aura rushed towards them.
