Chapter 69 Meeting Again
Seeing the girl walking away, even though Liang Yan wanted the copybook in his heart, he had no choice but to give up. Stalking an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, even killing someone to seize the treasure, such a despicable thing, he asked himself, he still couldn't do it.
Liang Yan sighed secretly, no longer looking at the shopkeeper, and walked out of "Yuyuan Pavilion" with a puff of sleeves.
He turned left and then turned left in the city, heading towards the west of the city. Not long after, he suddenly turned from the main road into a remote alley. Although this alley is winding and winding with no end in sight, judging from the lack of people here, it is probably a dead end.
However, Liang Yan kept walking and walked slowly towards the depths of the alley. Passing a corner, I saw a large black dog half as tall as a man blocking the road, lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.
Liang Yan smiled slightly, stepped over the black dog, and continued walking inside as if nothing had happened.
The black dog didn't seem to wake up and was still sleeping on the ground. If this scene were seen by the street gangsters nearby, they would be so shocked that they would not be able to close their jaws.
Because no matter who passes by here, the dog will definitely be furious. If it is said that it is really asleep, no one will believe it. Several times, people tried to pass by it while it was sleeping, but it jumped up and hurt them. Later, gradually no one came here anymore.
When Liang Yan passed by, the black dog just moved its nose, then turned over and continued sleeping.
Liang Yan walked along the alley for a while, and finally stopped in front of a house at the end. The house was in dilapidated condition, and even the wooden door outside was only symbolically left open. It was so dilapidated that it couldn't be closed.
He pondered at the door for a moment, stretched out his hand and pushed open the ajar wooden door.
A squeak! Revealing the scene inside, I saw a wooden table in the yard, with a chair behind it. Lying on the chair was a middle-aged scholar, sipping a purple clay teapot with a leisurely expression.
As soon as the scholar saw someone pushing the door open, he immediately stood up from his chair and looked up and down at Liang Yan.
"Doubtful? Why doesn't this young man have any fluctuations in his cultivation? Why does he look like a mortal? Well, never mind. If he can pass the black dog level, he must not be an ordinary mortal. Maybe he has a way to hide his cultivation."
With this thought, the scholar nodded to Liang Yan and said with a smile: "I am in Luquan, I am in charge of affairs here. Do you dare to ask me your name?"
Liang Yan returned the smile and said, "I'm Liang Yan, a disciple of Yixing Pavilion." As he said this, he threw the array servant disciple token in his storage bag to the other party.
Lu Quan reached out and took it with a glance. He thought to himself, "No wonder! He turns out to be a disciple of Yixing Pavilion. No wonder his magical powers are so powerful. Even I can't see through their reality."
He glanced at Liang Yan again, and his attitude became more respectful and said: "It turns out that the disciples of the Shangzong are here. Lu is so far away to welcome him. I feel ashamed! Fellow Taoist Liang is here for the purpose of guiding the road?"
Liang Yan nodded and said: "Exactly!"
"Fellow Taoist Liang, please wait here for a moment. Lu will go get it for you right now." After speaking, Lu Quan returned the token to Liang Yan, turned around and walked towards the back room.
Liang Yan didn't wait long outside when he saw Lu Quan coming out of the house with a talisman in his hand.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, you have been waiting for a long time. This is the guide for this Pingfeng Mountain Exchange Meeting. Each person has only one chance to receive it. Please keep it, Friend Daoist Liang."
Liang Yan thanked him, took the talisman, and asked seemingly casually: "I wonder which treasures will be auctioned at this exchange meeting."
Lu Quan said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I am only responsible for the distribution of road guides here. I really don't know the list of items in this auction, and these are generally not disclosed to the public."
"I see." Liang Yan nodded and said, "Does Fellow Daoist Lu know if 'Intoxicating Fragrance' is among the items in this auction?"
Lu Quan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "I have heard someone mention this 'Intoxicating Fragrance'. There is a high probability that it will be on the auction list. Besides, 'Intoxicating Fragrance' is a secret of Wenxiang Sect." Wenxiang Sect has also sent people to participate in the exchange meeting. Fellow Daoist Liang had better go to the mountain to inquire, maybe we can get more accurate information?"
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for reminding me!" Liang Yan thanked Lu Quan with a smile, turned around and left the yard.
Liang Yan walked on the streets of Pingfeng City and thought to himself: "There are still three days left before the exchange meeting. I might as well go find this person from the Wenxiang Sect. If I can buy the 'Intoxicating Incense' before the auction, it will be a good idea." It can avoid some twists and turns.”
Last time he went with Tang Diexian Yongle Town and captured a lot of trophies. Although I haven't had time to sell it yet, the ready-made spiritual stones alone already cost more than a thousand yuan. It should not be difficult to buy the "Intoxicating Incense" at the auction. But auctions are inevitably risky, and no one can guarantee the final outcome.
Liang Yan thought about it and thought it would be best to communicate with the people of Wenxiang Sect in advance and buy this thing even if he loses everything. After all, this thing can be related to his life and death.
With this thought in mind, Liang Yan had already walked into a rather impressive restaurant on the street. After all, his current cultivation level is not enough and he is far from reaching the stage of inescaping. I plan to check out the Five Zang Temple here first before setting off to the location of the exchange meeting.
Perhaps it was not yet noon, so there were not many people in the restaurant, so it seemed quite clean.
Liang Yan went straight to the second floor. There were fewer people here. There were only two or three tables occupied in the huge place. He chose a quiet corner to sit down and ordered a few side dishes and a pot of tea from the waiter.
He hadn't been sitting here for long when he suddenly heard the sound of stomping up the stairs, and then an emerald green figure walked up.
"It's her!" Liang Yan's heart moved.
The visitor is none other than the little girl who "snatched love" in Yuyuan Pavilion before!
The girl didn't seem to notice him. She went straight to an empty table and sat down. After ordering two dishes in a low voice to the waiter who came over, she stopped making any sound. However, her ruthless eyes would look at her from time to time. Another table peeked over.
Liang Yan followed her gaze and looked towards the table, only to see three men drinking. These three people are all at the second level of Qi training. They are all dressed in blue and have the same style. They should be disciples of the same sect or force.
The exchange meeting on the top of Pingfeng Mountain was about to be held. It was normal to meet a few cultivators in Pingfeng City at the bottom of the mountain.
The three people toasted to each other, whispering to each other from time to time, exchanging something in a low voice. Several people obviously lowered their voices. Out of curiosity, Liang Yan tried his best to run the Hunhun Kung Fu, but he could only hear a few words and couldn't make out the reason at all.
Just when he shook his head and wanted to give up, he suddenly heard someone say "Wen Xiang Sect"
Liang Yan was shocked. He suppressed his impatience and tried his best to listen to the conversation of these three people. But the voices of these three people became lower and lower, and in the end they were almost inaudible.
"Could these three people be Wenxiang Sect disciples?" A thought suddenly flashed through Liang Yan's mind.
"Although I heard that some sects' top skills are only suitable for women to practice, so most of the sects are women, it does not mean that these sects do not have male disciples. After all, not everyone can succeed in cultivation, and some people spend their entire lives They are just in the early stages of Qi training, and these sects will also recruit some male disciples as handymen."
The more Liang Yan thought about it, the more likely it became that he felt it was very possible. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. It was said that there was no place to be found even after wearing iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. Unexpectedly, as soon as he planned to go to Wenxiang Sect, the other party would come to his door.
Liang Yan was so happy that he couldn't help but pour himself a cup of fragrant tea and sip it carefully.
But before he could swallow, his eyebrows suddenly raised and his eyes glanced forward. The girl in green clothes had already stood up and left the table before the food was served. She passed by the table of the three people in blue clothes. The cuff of her right hand seemed to be shaking slightly, and then she went downstairs from the other side as if nothing had happened.
Naturally, this small movement could not be concealed from Liang Yan, who had keen senses. But even Liang Yan couldn't tell what she had done. He just frowned slightly and looked in the direction the girl was leaving with a puzzled expression.
