Although there is only one name here, it is actually divided into two places: Xihe and Huqiu.
Huqiu Mountain is the ancestral land of the Shentu family, and the area of several hundred miles around belongs to the Shentu family.
There are several small towns scattered around, with a total population of about 100,000.
There is a large river adjacent to it with fast currents. Because it comes from the west, it is named Xihe.
In the evening of that day, Zhang Ke transformed into a bird and quietly entered Huqiu Town.
This is where most of the Shentu family lives.
If Tushan is really what he thinks, this should be his place to stay.
The magical power of 'Nine Nether Soul-dispersing Wind' is powerful, but correspondingly it is difficult to practice.
Zhang Ke has investigated that Shentu Wuliang used to speed up the practice of this magical power in order to enable Shentu Youfeng.
A Dishafeng cave was specially opened in Huqiu Town with great supernatural powers, and was named "Xifeng Valley".
When Shentu Youfeng was practicing in a quiet room here, he was attacked and killed by Shentu Youshan.
If Tu Shan really returned to his ancestral land to live in seclusion, then this is the only place where he can accelerate his practice of the 'Nine Nether Soul Scattering Wind'.
Zhang Ke did not conduct a search rashly.
In the past, Tushan did not hesitate to attack ordinary people in order to escape. He was a person with no bottom line.
Today, there are nearly 100,000 people living near Huqiu Town.
Once he discovers that something is wrong, he will inevitably resort to his old tricks and start a killing spree.
Therefore, Zhang Ke decided to investigate secretly.
Only when Tu Shan's trace is absolutely confirmed and the right time is found, will he be given a thunderous blow.
Otherwise, he would rather let him escape again than take action easily.
...
early morning.
A loud cockcrow broke the tranquility of the town.
In order to survive and live, countless people got up and left their homes and began a day of hard work.
Huqiu Town is a big town.
There are no less than 30,000 people living here alone, and several other surrounding towns surround Huqiu in the center.
The Shentu family has lived here for generations, and half of the people in the town are related to the Shentu family to one degree or another.
The town's buildings look like a typical tic-shaped structure when viewed from top to bottom.
Several wide streets separate the houses in the town, and shops are located along the streets.
Grocery stores, rouge shops, workshops, restaurants, and private schools are all available.
In the northwest corner of Huqiu Town, there is a spacious courtyard that occupies a large area.
The wall covering around the courtyard wall has fallen off in many places, and there are even clumps of moss clinging to the dark areas.
Two large doors studded with doornails were open, and the red paint had been smoothed away, revealing the original color inside.
Most of the copper door nails have been pried away long ago, leaving only a few small holes showing the wealth of the house in the past.
The two characters "西河明光" are written on the lintel of the gate.
It means "the sky sees its brightness, the earth sees its light, and a gentleman values its integrity".
At this moment, the tender yet serious voices of dozens of children could be faintly heard from within the courtyard.
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast. The sun and moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are spread out.
Cold comes and summer comes, harvest is harvested in autumn and stored in winter. Leap years are more than one year old, and the law is Lu to adjust the Yang.
Clouds make rain, dew condenses into frost. Gold brings beautiful water, and jade comes out of Kungang..."
The people walking outside the door, old and young, unconsciously slowed down their steps when passing by.
On a big banyan tree not far away, there was a group of birds chirping non-stop in the tree.
At this moment, Zhang Ke transformed into a bird and blended in.
Today is already his fifth day in Xihe Huqiu.
After five days of careful observation, Zhang Ke found nothing unusual.
Finally, he focused his attention on this private school.
The reason is very simple, it is because of the "Thousand Character Essay" that many children in the private school are reciting at this moment.
In fact, there is no enlightenment book like the Thousand-Character Classic in this realm.
This was written by him unintentionally after he entered the Taoist monastery to practice, his memory awakened in his dream.
Later, this article was widely circulated because it was catchy and easy to read.
But this is only a kind of enlightenment text spread in parts of the Eastern Region.
But appearing here at this moment, I have to say that this aroused Zhang Ke's suspicion.
If Tushan is really like this, it is really an invisible entanglement of fate.
Moreover, not far to the west of the private school, is the place where Shen Tu Wuliang originally opened up the ‘West Wind Valley’.
The morning passed quickly.
Following the sound of the gong, groups of children quickly ran out in small groups.
They were noisy, laughing, pushing each other and leaving together.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the door of the private school returned to silence again.
At this time, a tall and thin old man came out of the door, holding a young boy with his head lowered by his hand.
The boy's shorts were heavily patched, but they fit him perfectly and were washed very clean.
The old man comforted in a low voice with a very gentle expression.
Zhang Ke recognized the face at a glance that he would never forget even if it turned into ashes.
Thin face shape, razor-thin eyebrows, narrow eyes, aquiline nose, and goatee.
The only difference was that there was no longer that dark and vicious look that frightened him.
What replaced it was gentleness and wisdom.
For some reason, Zhang Ke's heart felt surprisingly calm at this moment.
He looked at Tushan indifferently, waving his hands and watching the young man leave, then returned to the courtyard and closed the door.
Zhang Ke's mind was spinning rapidly, and different action plans appeared one after another, but he rejected them.
There are many residential buildings around the location of the private school.
Once Tushan jumps over the wall, the lives of thousands of nearby residents may be at risk.
Tushan used to be the True Lord of the Soul in the Five Qi Realm.
Although the foundation has been destroyed now, Zhang Ke is not too clear about what methods are available, and he does not want to take risks.
It can only be said that the memory Tushan gave to Zhang Ke was too profound.
In Niwan Palace, lines of runes outline the image of the courtyard of "Xihe Mingguang".
Countless calculation formulas are being calculated, Zhang Ke wants to find the most effective time to take action.
Time passed little by little.
The sky gradually became dark, and soon it was night.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Ke flew away from the banyan tree quietly.
After finding an uninhabited dilapidated thatched house, Zhang Ke returned to his childlike appearance.
'How should I enter the private school to investigate?'
Zhang Ke fell into deep thought, knowing that he didn't have much time left for him.
Shentu Xiangzhi may discover his purpose at any time.
If time is wasted, once Tu Shan is alert, it will not be easy to take action again.
Looking at his young body, Zhang Ke had a thought in his heart.
'Should I pretend to be a child and enter the private school to have some contact with Tushan?'
But then he gave up the idea.
Never underestimate the memory ability of a True Lord Yuanshen.
Tushan has lived in seclusion in Huqiu Town for many years. There is probably no one in this town that he is not familiar with.
The sudden appearance of a stranger will only arouse his suspicion.
While he was thinking about it, the snail on his body suddenly vibrated.
“Buzz——!”
Zhang Ke frowned, reached out and took out a nut snail from his sleeve.
In the past three years, he was able to destroy the hiding places of the 'Red Robe Society' one after another.
To wipe out countless evil cultivators of the "Red Robe Society", in addition to the powerful help of the "Sky Eye Formation".
Liu Huaizhong also played an irreplaceable role.
Not long ago, he wiped out all the evil cultivators of the 'Red Robe Society' near Gan State.
In order to thank Liu Huaizhong for his help, Zhang Ke decided to let him go and let him fend for himself.
At the same time, he also made it clear that the two of them would have nothing to do with each other from now on.
At this time, Liu Huaizhong suddenly took the initiative to contact him. What happened?
With doubts, Zhang Ke injected his magic power into the snail.
He opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Huaizhong's voice came from inside the screw mouth.
"Sir! I got the news in my arms that the Demon Suppressing Guard may have discovered your true identity.
We are gathering experts to attack Mr.
Zhang Ke's heart tightened slightly, he was still careless after all.
If we had known that Shentu Xiangzhi was related to Tushan, we should have done more to conceal our identity.
"Haha! I am Xie Shilun. What do you mean by these words in my arms?"
"Sir, don't try to deceive me. As early as two years ago, I guessed that you were not Xie Shilun!"
Having found Tushan's traces in just three years, Zhang Ke actually felt a little proud.
You must know that Senior Sister Hongxiao has been searching for more than a hundred years without finding any clues.
Even if senior sister Hong Xiao knew that Tu Shan was in the Central Region, she might not be able to find Tu Shan as quickly as she did.
Using the pseudonym Xie Shilun to sneak into the Demon Guard, Zhang Ke believed that this was the key to finding Tu Shan.
The vast sea of intelligence information of the Demon Suppressing Guard supported him in eliminating one area after another.
In the past three years, Zhang Ke searched for Tushan's whereabouts one by one in many princely states of the Lan Kingdom.
It seems to have no effect, but in fact it is a filtering process.
Although no clues about Tushan were found, it was at least clear that Tushan was not among these vassal states.
He was able to find traces of Tushan in Gan State. This was not accidental, but inevitable.
Even though I didn’t come to Gan Country today, I kept excluding areas one by one like this.
The end result will still be the same as now.
But at this moment, Zhang Ke was also secretly warning that he could have done better during this trip to the Central Region.
I just feel that no one can put pressure on me, so I inevitably make some mistakes in my actions.
The increase in strength caused him to lose his due vigilance.
"Since you have guessed it, I don't want to hide it from you. Yes, I am not Xie Shilun.
But no matter what, you have given me a lot of help in tracking down the evil cultivators of the 'Red Robe Society'.
I have made it very clear that from now on you and I will have nothing to do with each other, so what else do you have to do?"
There was silence in the screw mouth for a moment before the sound came out again.
"Sir, if you are willing to spare my life, I can't help but repay you in my arms.
May I ask where your husband is now? I am willing to help him do one last thing."
Zhang Ke's heart moved, and he felt that something was wrong with Liu Huaizhong's words.
Looking at the snail in his hand, a flash of light burst out from his fingertips, and the snail turned into countless powders and scattered.
On the other end of the snail.
In a quiet room.
Liu Huaizhong looked at the tarnished nut snail and said with a trembling voice:
