Chapter 378 The Mysterious Know-How
Shen Lang came out of Jubao Pavilion a bit abnormally and changed his previous style.
It's really because he doesn't want to be too involved with Jubao Pavilion.
Many of the memories of Emperor Zhan were sealed, and as long as they were sealed, it was basically a great thing.
Among these seals, there is exactly the matter about Jubao Pavilion.
Even with those memories that were not sealed, the entanglement between the Emperor of War and Jubao Pavilion was very strange.
This seems to involve the matter between men and women.
So Shen Lang really doesn't want to get in touch with those things.
The matter between Xue Shiyin and the Emperor of War had already caused him a headache, and his emotions even changed drastically, which led to being influenced by the things in the Immortal Heavenly Sword.
If there is really a woman in Jubao Pavilion who has that kind of relationship with the Emperor of War, Shen Lang can only say how far he is, he will hide as far away as he is.
...
After sighing, Shen Lang swept his eyes to the corner of the street.
In that corner, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was staring at the people coming and going on the street with his eyes slanted.
Shen Lang waved to the boy.
"Hey, brother, do you need help if you have anything?" The boy's eyes lit up and he immediately ran over quickly.
Shen Lang threw a bag of gold coins to him and said, "Come the most informed person in Tianque City, go to the restaurant opposite to find me. After I find it, I will give you another bag of gold coins."
The young man was sucking the bag in his hand. He listened to the clamor and felt the weight of the bag, and he immediately smiled.
"I understand, brother, don't worry, I'll call you that Baishitong. There is nothing he doesn't know about within a thousand miles!"
Watching the boy leave, Shen Lang walked to the wall below the restaurant opposite, stretched out his finger and started painting on the wall.
The stone chips kept floating, and a strange pattern was revealed on the wall.
The pattern looks like a flower, but the petals are like sharp swords, which makes people feel so fierce and extremely weird at first glance.
What's even more strange is that the buds in this flower seem to be a bit surprisingly large, with a total of five, spreading in a semicircular shape.
There is also a loft-like thing painted in the middle of the buds.
After finishing the drawing, Shen Lang turned around and tried his best for a moment, and then walked towards the south gate of Tianque City.
After a while, he left the south gate and walked into the dense forest outside the city.
As soon as he walked into the secret order, Shen Lang turned around and stood a man in black under the shadow of the big tree behind him!
The man in black stood there quietly, as if he had been there a long time ago and had never moved.
The whole body was hidden in darkness, and there was no breath in his body.
"This adult is very good, I wonder who it is? The pattern you draw is used by Shadow Tower to contact your own people, not the contact picture for the task. However, I know that the adult is definitely not a Shadow Tower person."
The man in black had a little hoarse voice, as if he was deliberately trying to hide his voice.
Shen Lang flipped his wrist, took out a piece of parchment paper, and threw it over.
"This is the contract I signed with your Shadow Building Miss Nangong Jianqiu. She still owes me three Shadow Demon Flowers. Now, it's time to fulfill the promise."
Once a contract is signed, the contract cannot be broken unless the leader is willing to tear the parchment.
So he was not worried about what the other party would do.
The man in black shook his body when he heard the words Nangong Jianqiu and immediately unfolded the parchment in his hand.
Then, he walked out of the shadow and stood in front of Shen Lang.
This is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, and except for this black suit, there is almost nothing to attract attention.
The middle-aged man in black respectfully bowed to Shen Lang and said, "It turns out that it is Mr. Shen Lang, the villain Qucheng. He has been waiting for Mr. Tianque City for a while."
"Oh? Is it because someone told you that I was coming towards Tianque City?" Shen Lang asked lightly.
Qucheng nodded and said, "That's right. Some time ago, there was news from above, saying that you are passing through the Izuyun Mountains and heading towards Tianque City. You may be staying in Tianque City for a while, so our people have been paying attention to your whereabouts during this period."
"Yes." Shen Lang took back the parchment and said, "When will the Shadow Demon Flower be delivered?"
"It should be delivered in four days." The middle-aged man in black said respectfully.
"So fast?" Shen Lang couldn't help but be surprised.
Qu Cheng's stiff face twitched for a moment, and said with a hint of ugly smile: "Because it happened that the young lady was doing a mission in Wushuang City, two thousand miles away. The thing was on her. It was a small portal from there. It took not a day, but she needed to complete the mission before she could come over, so I guess it would take four days."
"So that's it, then I'll trouble you."
"Young master, please be polite."
Shen Lang stopped staying and went back to Tianque City and went to the restaurant diagonally opposite Jubao Pavilion.
At this time, the young man who had collected a bag of gold coins from Shen Lang in front of the restaurant was standing behind an old man, protruding his head.
Seeing Shen Lang coming, the young man immediately showed joy and gently pulled the robe of the old man in front of him.
"Waiter, prepare a private room for me." Shen Lang slowly stepped forward and did not say hello to the old man.
He followed the waiter into the private room, and the old and the young naturally followed in.
It was not until he sat down that Shen Lang could see clearly the old man's appearance.
The old man's hair is as thin as snow, his face is as delicate as jade, without a trace of wrinkles, but his robes are dirty and his eyes are chaotic. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel vulgar.
Shen Lang took out another bag of gold coins and threw it to the boy.
The young man grinned and thanked him repeatedly: "Brother, you can come to me for any matters in Tianque City in the future. My name is Yang Mu, and everyone calls me Xiao Muzi. I am very powerful in Tianque City!"
When Xiao Muzi walked out of the house, Shen Lang bowed to the old man and said, "I don't know what the boss is called? I have some things I want to find out about."
The old man looked up, stroked his beard and said, "I am the ancient style, the head of the 981st generation of Xuanyi Sect, and others gave me a nickname of "Wanshitong".
"Xuanyimen..." Shen Lang showed a smile on his lips.
A sect I've never heard of.
Gu Feng said proudly: "I know astronomy and geography above, and trivial things below; I understand the future and know the past. Immortals are not immortals, and all things in the world come into my eyes; Tao is not Tao, and I know it through the past and present... This, I am addicted to alcohol, and I don't know..."
Shen Lang couldn't help but be stunned. He just wanted to find a well-informed person to ask about Fantasy Mist City. Why did this old man talk about it to the sky?
It is also "to understand the future and understand the past", and Haikou is really praising it.
The most mysterious genius in the wilderness has this ability, but it is said that divination requires the cost of consuming vitality. It is easy to "understand the future and understand the past"? Even the supreme power is difficult to do.
Shen Lang waved his hand and called the waiter at the door in: "First give this father two jars of good daughter Hong, and then give your shop a few of the best dishes."
"Okay, please wait a moment, young master." The waiter nodded, turned over but muttered in a low voice: "The ancient man hasn't cheated on such a big meal for a long time. I didn't expect that there is really no shortage of suckers in this world."
His voice was very small and vague.
But who is Shen Lang? With his current ears, even if the waiter walks out and says this sentence, he can still hear it clearly.
At this time, the ancient style was sitting upright and showing more and more immortality.
But as soon as the wine was delivered, the old man immediately changed his appearance and couldn't wait to open a big bowl and drink it.
It feels like I haven't drunk alcohol for ten or eight years.
"I wonder if my father-in-law knows about the matter in Huanwu City? I want to inquire about the major events in Huanwu City in the past two months." Shen Lang asked straight in one's own sword.
Gu Feng took another big sip of wine before smacking his lips and said, "Brother, you are asking the right person. Except for me, I will definitely not find a second person in Tianque City who knows all kinds of things happening in the Fantasy Mist City. It's not that I brag about it, but I thought about it back then..."
"If my father-in-law knows, please tell me, there will be a thank you later." Shen Lang said, stretching out his hand and putting four low-grade spirit stones on the table.
This is a spirit stone, not a gold coin, which is much more valuable than gold coins.
The Gu Feng immediately showed a look of greed, covered the spirit stone with his sleeves, and then put on a serious look and said, "Young man, you're so polite... Oh, a lot of things have really happened in the past two months in the Huanwu City."
"Some time ago, with a disciple of Baihong Sect secretly supporting the fire, the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group, Langya Mountain and Lianyun Village people fought against Qingfeng Village, but a young man emerged and beat them to the point of falling."
"Later, the leaders of these three forces did not listen to the warning of the Lord of the Illusion Mist City and asked the killer of the Shadow Tower to deal with the young man. Unexpectedly, the people in the Shadow Tower were defeated and even returned the mission."
"It's okay to retreat. Unexpectedly, the leaders of the three forces including the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group were cut off overnight. They all seemed to die from something called 'Tian Silk'."
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows: "Tian Silk?"
Gu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that it is Tiansilk, which is only available in the Western Wild Jedi. It is extremely sharp and cuts everything. Those three leaders were killed by this kind of thing."
"After that, An Fengrui, the lord of Fantasy City, was furious and led several other major forces to wipe out three forces including the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group. These three forces completely collapsed and became the history of Fantasy City."
"So that's it." Shen Lang nodded and said, "Does the father-in-law know what happened after that?"
"What happened next..." Gu Feng showed a very embarrassed look.
Shen Lang pinched his fingers and immediately set up a ban in the private room to isolate it from the outside world.
At the same time, he took out four low-grade spirit stones and placed them in front of Gu Feng.
Gu Feng suddenly smiled: "Brother is such a smart person. I like a smart person like you."
Shen Lang didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
Gu Feng coughed and continued, "This matter should be over, but who knew that Gao Jingtian, the leader of the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group, had a backup plan. He had a relative in the Holy Light Sect, so as soon as he died, the strong man from the Holy Light Sect began to catch your attention."
