Chapter 134 The Situation Has Changed

Yuan Fang stood guard at the door, and after Niu Youdao was invited to leave, he waited at the door.

Niu Youdao came back, Yuan Fang followed into the house, closed the door, and went to Niu Youdao's side, asking: "Master Dao, are you alright?"

Niu Youdao shook his head, but the eyes he looked at Yuanfang were unclear, and he felt a little emotional in his heart. Monkeys are very vigilant and good at scouting. If monkeys are around, it is difficult for some abnormalities of the surrounding people to escape the eyes of monkeys. This is the difference between Yuanfang and monkeys.

But he didn't say anything about Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang still lacks experience in this area. Needless to say, when things happen, it will naturally refresh Yuan Fang. Next time when similar things happen, Yuan Fang will not remain indifferent. He will naturally find a way to monitor, or at least maintain due vigilance.

It is not very effective to always talk about some things clearly, and you have to let yourself realize it yourself. This is experience.

After extinguishing the lights in the house with a wave of his hand, Niu Youdao walked slowly to the window, pushed it open, and looked at the dim lights of the ancient city with his hands behind his back, with a calm expression on his face.

There is actually someone around who is secretly hooking up with Liuxianzong, and there is no need to guess what is plotting.

To say it's a betrayal, I'm afraid I can't talk about it, I just met it not long ago, and I haven't walked on the same path, so it's not a betrayal of you, maybe it's their own master!

It's just that he was thinking about a question, Black Peony, did he miss it?

With a little exclusion, he can basically be sure that he should have been discovered by Liuxianzong after he arrived in Star Picking City. If he had discovered it earlier, he might not be able to tolerate him coming to Star Picking City, so he would have done it on the way.

Then the black peony and the Liuxian sect were just two possibilities. Either it was a trap set by the Liuxian sect to deliberately let the black peony and others approach him to fool him, or he found the black peony afterwards.

After he arrived in the Star Picking City, he went straight to the Yueyue Inn, and it was also the first time he spotted Hei Mudan and the others waiting outside the inn. It was unlikely that Liuxianzong had preset them in advance. In this way, the possibility that Liuxianzong set up a trap to deliberately let Hei Mudan and others approach him can be ruled out, so the latter is the only possibility left.

After clarifying his thoughts in his mind, Niu Youdao said lightly, "Light on the lamp."

Yuan Fang, who was immersed in the darkness, saw that Niu Youdao had something on his mind, so he didn't bother him. Hearing the words, the lights in the house turned on again.

Niu Youdao reached out and closed the window, then turned around and said, "Take a look at the map."

Yuan Fang immediately took out the map from the package, spread it out on the table, and lit a lamp to illuminate it.

Niu Youdao walked to the table, found the location of Star Picking City in Zhao State, looked along the established route to South Korea in the northeast direction, paused for a while, then moved down from the southeast of Star Picking City, and landed on Qingshan County in Yan State.

Then, he stretched out his finger and landed on the map to walk along this route, moving back and forth repeatedly, and stopped at a place called Shanhu County on the only road that must pass through this route, and tapped his finger on Shanhu County twice, as if he had made up his mind.

"Old Xiong, tell them to come here." Niu Youdao stared at the map and said.

Yuan Fang put down the oil lamp, and as soon as he turned around, Niu Youdao added, "Don't talk useless nonsense, just let them come over."

"Yes!" Yuan Fang walked away quickly, muttering in his heart, not knowing what Grandpa wanted to do.

Yuanfang who came outside directly knocked on the door of Hei Mudan's room, did not go in, and greeted Hei Mudan at the door, "The one who called you, the Taoist will let you go."

Black Peony asked strangely: "What's the matter?"

Yuan Fang: "I don't know." He turned around and went back.

Hei Mudan had no choice but to do so, and soon called out Duan Hu, Wu Sanliang and Lei Zongkang.

Knowing that Niu Youdao was looking for them, Lei Zongkang couldn't help asking, "Boss, why are you looking for us so late?"

"I don't know." Black Peony shook her head.

Several people came to Niu Youdao's door and knocked on the door, Yuan Fang opened the door and let them in.

Several people went in and saw Niu Youdao standing in front of the map by the table, and surrounded him. Hei Mudan glanced at Niu Youdao's face, and said with a smile, "Master Dao, what are your orders?"

Niu Youdao looked around at the few people, and sighed: "I just remembered something. After you were with me this time, the commotion seemed to be a little louder. When you entered and left the inn, a group of people stared at it. I was worried that when I left, I would be watched by people with malicious intentions."

Lei Zongkang's heart tightened when he heard the words, and the others looked at each other and nodded slightly. This is true, and it is entirely possible.

Black Peony tried to ask: "Master Dao, what do you mean?"

Niu Youdao: "To be on the safe side, I am going to slightly change the plan of leaving. Let's go separately! In order to avoid being watched by others, everyone should not go to the surrounding horse farms, and take the way of walking, choose the direction at will and leave secretly."

Black Peony nodded in agreement. In fact, this is also the way many monks leave Star Picking City. There are large mountains around, and they sneak into the mountains and use the cover of the terrain to leave quietly.

Niu Youdao: "It's too eye-catching to walk together. Tomorrow, you will leave secretly through the river first. Yuanfang and I will stay for a few more days, and we will choose an opportunity to leave secretly depending on the situation."

The so-called river channel is the melted snow water on the high mountains, and the rivers formed in the mountains. Many monks escape into the river water first when they leave the Star Picking City. After diving to a certain place, they emerge from the water and escape into the vast mountains.

Several people looked at each other, and Hei Mudan frowned and said, "Master Dao, in this case, how can we meet later?"

Niu Youdao pointed his finger on the map, "Shanhu County, let's meet at the largest inn in Shanhu County."

A few people stretched their heads to look, and after remembering, Hei Mudan nodded: "Okay!"

Niu Youdao: "The matter is settled like this, you have to hurry tomorrow, so go to rest early."

Several people then resigned.

After several people left, Niu Youdao asked Yuan Fang to pack up the map, while he took the saber in his hand, drew it out, examined the edge repeatedly, took a piece of white silk, sat in front of the lamp and wiped it slowly, muttering in his mouth: "Jianghu..."

Several people left the room here, and gathered together in Hei Mudan's room, discussed about leaving, and then went back to their respective rooms to rest.

After tea time, Lei Zongkang went back to his room and sat quietly for a while, quietly opened the door and left the room, looked around, and left quickly.

Going downstairs, through the forest garden, to the upstairs opposite, without knocking on the door, directly opened the door and entered Cui Yuan's room.

Cui Yuan had just come back not long ago, and he was thinking about going to Lei Zongkang later, but Lei Zongkang took the initiative to find him again, so he was somewhat surprised, and immediately asked: "Could it be that the situation has changed?"

Lei Zongkang nodded, "Master Cui is wise, the situation has indeed changed. Niu Youdao has changed his plan to leave and is going to leave in batches..." He revealed all the plans Niu Youdao had just arranged.

Cui Yuan muttered: "This guy is really careful."

Lei Zongkang: "Master Cui, we have to leave first tomorrow, and we can't be by his side. I'm afraid we won't be able to report any situation in time, and we can't figure out his route."

"Secret departure is an expected option, not surprising! That's why I brought this thing." Cui Yuan sneered, took out a sachet and handed it to him, "Take this thing with you as a backup."

Lei Zongkang opened the hand after receiving it, and saw that there were small yellow grains the size of a bag of soybeans inside, wrapped in a thin layer of wax, and asked in amazement: "What is this?"

Cui Yuan: "After the wax breaks, it will emit a strange fragrance, which is convenient for me to trace your traces. You arrange it on the road when you wait for the opportunity, and I have my own way to trace it here."

Lei Zongkang said strangely: "I work separately from that guy, and the meeting place is also set in Shanhu County. Why does Master Cui still follow my tracks?"

Cui Yuan: "What if he changes his plan again and doesn't meet in Shanhu County? Can you still get out of the order on the way? It's not convenient for you to contact us at any time on the way. This beast has repeatedly escaped hunting and killing, which shows its cunning. You have to guard against it. You can take this thing with you to be prepared!"

Lei Zongkang understood and nodded.

Cui Yuan smiled suddenly, and patted him on the shoulder, "My uncle has already sent a report to the teacher, and is trying his best to get a recommendation guarantee for you."

Lei Zongkang didn't know if the other party was using it to fool him, how could Liuxianzong care about their casual cultivators, if they didn't help them, they wouldn't dare to fart. So he didn't really have any hopes for this matter, he just hoped to help get rid of the trouble here, if Liu Xianzong really showed kindness, it could only be regarded as a pleasant surprise.

For him, the matter was obvious, from the moment Liuxianzong came to him, he had no choice, and the consequences of not agreeing could be imagined, could Liuxianzong let him go? Can you let them go?

But he still had to pretend to be happy, cupped his hands and said: "Master Cui, don't worry, Lei will definitely live up to expectations!"

"Okay! Go back quickly to avoid any accidents." Cui Yuan looked kindly.

After the two parted, Lei Zongkang quietly went back to his room, and Cui Yuan left Yaoyue Inn afterward...

On the top floor of the inn, the old dog appeared and knocked on the shopkeeper's door again.

Bai Yulou didn't rest, but set up an abacus, flipped through the ledger, and settled the accounts under the lamp.

Pretending to be something in his heart, he was not at ease, so he didn't take a break. Who told him to take money from others, and what he confessed, he had to think about it to some extent.

The old dog approached and reported: "Shopkeeper, Lei Zongkang slipped into Cui Yuan's room to meet him again. After we parted, Cui Yuan returned to Liuxianzong's shop."

Bai Yulou hummed, "Understood."

When the old dog left, the crackling sound of the abacus stopped. Bai Yulou leaned back in the chair and muttered, "He really guessed it right. The predictions are quite accurate. What the hell..."

Stretching, he got up and left the room, and slowly came to the front desk of the inn with his hands behind his back.

Seeing him coming, the clerk who took the seat stood up, hehe said: "Shopkeeper, it's so late, and I haven't rested yet."

Bai Yulou said calmly: "After finishing the calculation for a while, come out for a stroll, are you okay here?"

The guy said: "Okay, it's all right."

Bai Yulou knocked on the counter, "I just met a guest in Room Yizi, let me deliver the jar of wine."

"Okay, I'll send it now." The guy nodded in response.
