Everyone was already dead, and there was no follow-up result. It was no longer important what identity the Gao family played.
‘ No, there are clues in the country.” Xu Bai smiled.
In his hand, the golden compass appeared again. This time, he used the bug fragments in the pit as a basis for divination.
Since the Gaos were gone, the only thing left was the bug’s fragments. Perhaps he could figure out something.
The golden compass slowly spun in the air, giving off a mysterious and strange feeling.
Gradually, the needle on it began to move. Xu Bails eyes lit up. This was useful.
A moment later, the needle gradually stopped vibrating and pointed in a direction, as if telling them that this direction was the source of the clue.
“Let’s go and take a look.” Xu Bai said.
This Feng Shui Arithmetic Sutra was really a very good skill. If it was like before, without this skill, he could only go home and stop quietly. But now, he had the initiative.
Everyone did not hesitate and left quickly in the direction pointed by the
The needle pointed at a remote street. After they left the abandoned house, they followed the needle and left the Lingyun State.
The road ahead was no longer the official road, but a wilderness. There was no one around. Other than the moonlight, it seemed unusually deserted.
“Why did they bring us out? Could it be that they are hiding here?”Xu Bai thought to himself.
Although he was very confused, Feng Shui would not lie. Xu Bai continued to follow.
After the few of them walked for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, something strange finally appeared in front of them.
A small village appeared in front of everyone. Because the sky was too dark, the darkness enveloped the village, making it look abnormally strange.
” Village? Or is it a small village? Why is it here?””Xu Bai was getting more and more confused.
When they arrived at the village, they realized that it was already dark, so there was no one in the village. Even the lights were not lit.
“Do you want to go in and take a look?” No Flower asked.
Xu Bai thought about it carefully and nodded.
He had already come this far. If he didn’t go in and take a look, he would feel especially at a loss.
Everyone raised their guard and walked into the small village. The surroundings were quiet. Other than the meowing of cats and dogs, there was only the sound of their footsteps.
Ye Zi suddenly whispered, “Young Master, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there’s actually no snoring here.” ”
The quieter the environment, the more subtle sounds could be heard.
This was just a run-down village, and the soundproofing of the rooms was not good. Everyone was an expert, but they could not hear the sound of snoring.
Xu Bai’s frown deepened. He felt that this place was like a dead land. However, the clean streets told him that someone had cleaned this place before.
He stood there and thought for a while. Finally, he came to a house and knocked on the door gently.
She didn’t have any other intentions. She just wanted to see if there was anyone living in this room.
He thought that no one would pay attention to him, but after he knocked on the door, he heard the sound of clothes being put on, followed by an old voice. “Who is it, knocking on the door so late at night?”
The old voice was very far at first, but it slowly approached. However, it did not open the door. It was obvious that it would not open the door rashly without knowing who was outside.
“Old man.” Xu Bai softened his tone.”We are traveling merchants passing by. Due to the rush at night, we lost our way. Can we stay in the village and rest for a while?”
“Squeak…
Following Xu Bai’s voice, the wooden door creaked slightly.
At this moment, Xu Bai saw the situation behind the door clearly.
Behind the door, an old man with an old face was holding a walking stick and wearing thin clothes.
“Trader?” The old man said warily,” Don’t lie to me. Let me tell you, everyone in the village is here. As long as I shout, they will come. Why are you traveling merchants coming here instead of the official post station?”
Xu Bai smiled and took out some money. He looked at the old man and said, “There’s no other way. In order to hurry up, after all, some goods have to be delivered as soon as possible. I didn’t expect that in order to hurry up, we lost our way and the goods accidentally dropped along the way. Sigh, now we only hope to go back early and not earn money.”
After receiving the money. the old man did not let down his guard- He still
sized up Xu Bai as if he was checking if Xu Bai was lying.
In terms of acting, Xu Bai was an expert. There were no flaws on the surface.
The old man then looked at Ye Zi and No Flower beside him and asked curiously,”lt’s normal for you to have a woman by your side, but why is there a monk?”
Ye Zi was covered with a veil. Although her appearance could not be seen clearly, it did not arouse any suspicion. Only No Flower made the old man feel very puzzled.
A monk? How could a traveling merchant have a monk?
As for the puppet of the Fourth Stage, since it was dressed like a human, it was at least much more ordinary than a monk.
Xu Bai explained, “Sigh…” This is my useless younger brother. He doesn’t like to study, but he loves to worship Buddha. He just happened to be going to the temple in our place, so he accompanied me.”
No Flower was speechless.
Good heavens, during this exchange, he suddenly dropped a generation.
When the old man heard Xu Bail s words, he looked at the winnings in his hand and then looked around. Finally, he pointed at a thatched pavilion not far away and said,”The houses in the village are all full, so I won’t let you in rashly. You can rest in the pavilion. Tomorrow morning, I’ll get someone to bring you to the nearest city..”
