Chapter 128 It’s getting late (1)

Fu Jizhen said it was not big, and with Qu Qitao's eyesight and feet, she quickly looked around and returned to the main street. As the sun moved, her steps became more and more brisk, and she felt a little bit ashamed of having guessed wrong.

The annoyance was nothing compared to the happiness of the people in the small town that she saw and felt.

Everyone was laughing and laughing, as if Fuji Town was not the same world as the outside world, and those people tortured by drought were also phantoms.

It would be great if normal life could be restored outside. But Qu Qitao knew that this was impossible, because according to the usual practice, Fei Yi would have to be active for a hundred years before falling asleep again, and then wait for a while before he could go out.

This is the helpless way of heaven.

So she just sighed in her heart, hummed a random tune, forcefully gave a few spiritual coins to the pastry shop owner who refused to accept the money, bought five or six different pastries, and wanted to return to the palace to sell these pastries.

As a return gift, I gave it to the maid who had been pestered and chatted with her these past few days. But as I walked, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

At the end of the main street, a group of townspeople gathered in front of the palace. Although there was no noise or shouting, the atmosphere was extraordinary and incompatible with the joyful festival scene. Qu Qitao paused, but saw a solemn face in the crowd.

Looking at the faces of Luo Xuanyi and Xi Xingji, it seemed that they had not discovered evil spirits, but more like they had encountered something strange.

After Qu Qitao swept into the crowd, he saw Guan Qian, who was particularly tall among the crowd. He also had a solemn expression on his face, bending down to listen to what the people in front of him were talking about, while seeming to nod in the direction of Xi Xingji.

"...I told you that Master Immortal disappeared first and then came back..."

A voice was unconvinced and retorted: "Liu Laosan, you are talking nonsense! I clearly saw a shooting star on the horizon. The immortal master chased it out first, and then came back to let us inform the master! You can't send the wrong message and mislead the immortal."

It’s my master’s business.”

"Yes, Master Immortal put down the shelves in his hands before leaving. I remember clearly."

"Moreover, when the master came back, he said, 'I didn't catch up.' I was right next to him, and unlike Liu Laosan, who is hard of hearing, I heard it clearly."

"Yes, I remembered it wrong..."

Hearing this, Qu Qitao was shocked and was waiting to listen carefully, but Xi Xingji and Luo Xuanyi turned around and exited the crowd with expressions of understanding, just as they met Qu Qitao's eyes. Xi Xingji was stunned, but his expression did not improve, and

He asked: "Qi Tao, has Taoist friend Shang ever sent you a seal message?"

Qu Qitao immediately realized what happened to Shang Qian! In order not to miss any key information, she checked it carefully and shook her head: "No. What happened?"

"Because we are afraid of wasting time and putting fellow merchants in danger, let's go to the ferry to take the boat first and talk as we go." Luo Xuanyi immediately said. The three of them did not dare to waste time and went straight to the ferry.

Since the entire town has finished catching yellow croaker, the fishing boats that had previously docked at the ferry have all returned to the port to put them away. There are more than a dozen fishermen standing or sitting on the shore to relax, each carrying a wine bottle or a handful of peanuts.

, looking at the water and mountains, I don’t know what I am chatting about.

Xi Xingji didn't care about the opportunity and stepped forward to ask: "Everyone, have you ever seen a man holding a sword and carrying a wooden box leaving on a boat?"

The fishermen looked at each other, and one of them said "Ah" and recognized Luo Xuanyi who was standing behind him: "Are you the Immortal Master who came here today? Hey, that's the one who can talk. Yumi,

You tell the immortal masters."

Hearing these words, Yumi, who was still taking a sip of wine, put down the leather wine bag, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said: "The immortal master came to the ferry at the second moment of Shenshi and asked for a ferry. Originally, he was not allowed.

But the immortal master said that he had something important to do. He wanted to chase an evil creature and had to cross the river quickly. I was worried that if I didn’t give him a boat, he would have to cross the river, so I took it upon myself to untie a building boat for him."

Hearing this, the fisherman who had spoken earlier couldn't help but frown and emphasized: "It's not your fault. You told me and I nodded to understand. You remembered it wrong."

"Yes, sister Yumi, your brother is right, we must have been there at that time."

Yumi hummed twice: "Then why can't you say what the immortal master said? Okay, I think the boat will come back. It's not the time yet. There is no need to cover me. I will do it naturally.

You have to bear it yourself." She ignored the worried fishermen around her and continued to finish her words to Xi Xingji, "The immortal master also told me before boarding the boat that this matter must be told to his companions. Others will come.

You were not allowed to say anything even if you asked me. After I said that, I hurried away."

Xi Xingji asked: "Then do you remember what his face looked like at that time? Is there anything that looked strange?"

"Well, I haven't seen that immortal master before, so I don't know if there's anything weird about him." Yumi rubbed the wine bag unconsciously with his hands, and thought about it for a while, "Besides the appearance, there seems to be nothing...but he

I kept my arms around a long sword and never put it down. By the way, the opening of the wooden box behind me was a little loose. When I got on the boat, the boat bumped a little, and a gap was exposed in the opening, and there was a sound."

"However, the gait is very steady."

After hearing this, Xi Xingji's brows relaxed and wrinkled for a while. He thanked Yumi and then said, "Excuse me, would you please prepare the boat? We are also going to cross the river."

As if he had expected this, before Yumi could say anything, Yumi, who was called Brother Yumi, rushed out to fight the fishermen first. He clasped his fists and lowered his head: "Of course, if there is really something evil, in addition to preparing the boat, I will also

There is nothing I can do to help. I just ask the Immortal Master to remember that this boat also has the building boat that the Immortal Master used to ride on. Please ask someone to send it back. I, Yu Cheng, would like to thank the three of you in advance.

"

Yu Cheng looked back around again, especially at Yu Mi.

"If there is any mistake, please ask the immortal master to tell me that it was me, Yu Cheng, who did it."

"Brother!" Yumi couldn't help but call him, with a look of helplessness and worry on her face, but her mouth was quite firm, "You still think we are fooling around in the world? Don't do this! If you are moved, you will do it again.

stupid!"

The two brothers and sisters were about to quarrel, and several other fishermen gathered around to break up the fight. The remaining few cleverly untied another high-rise boat parked at the ferry. Xi Xingji and the others were now thinking about the reason why Shang Qian chased him out.

Naturally, there was no time to listen to the quarrel between the two brothers and sisters. The three of them got on the boat one after another, and the boat immediately rowed out of the ferry.

Only Luo Xuanyi, who was still worried for some reason, stood on the deck and looked at the two brothers and sisters who were surrounded by each other and quarreling on the shore. They seemed to be about to fight, but Yumi seemed very impatient and held her hand in his hand.

The wine bag raised his hand and took a deep gulp before tossing it to Yu Cheng. Not to be outdone, Yu Cheng raised his hand to pour the wine. The two of them were inexplicably competing with each other over the wine.

The boat swayed, getting further and further away from the shore. Qu Qitao's questioning voice sounded from behind. Luo Xuanyi glanced at the shore for the last time, and saw her brother fell back after not taking a few sips of wine. She turned around and approached Xi Xingji with a solemn expression on her face.

"...So what exactly is going on?"
