"If you two stay, then I won't go back, and I won't be worried if I go back."
Xu Suyun said.
Luzhu was very happy: "Yes, Mom, don't go back. You are old and living at sea is not as comfortable as living on the shore."
Shi Chong and his family decided to stay. The old people in the village went back to the island, but the young people stayed. Many people on the island even moved here after hearing that Shi Chong and his family had settled on land.
Lin Xiaodong stayed behind closed doors again and continued to practice his pearls and pagodas for several days.
That afternoon, someone came from the post house and sent a letter to Lin Xiaodong.
When I opened it, I saw that it was signed by Xu Siyi and wrote: Mr. Lin, my daughter was investigating evil things in Quanyang City a few days ago, but the investigation was fruitless. The master has another important case. I would like to ask Mr. Lin to come and ask for horoscopes, and check as soon as possible.
Thank you very much for clarifying this matter.
Lin Xiaodong was in a good mood after reading the letter. Ever since he met Xu Siyi in Qianshui City, he had been thinking about it. Xu Siyi and his fellow practitioners Zhou Tianshu were very talented. The two had similar interests and felt sympathy for each other.
Taking the letter and reading it over and over, Lin Xiaodong speculated in his mind: There are many capable people in the palace, and the meaning of Xu Siyi's letter to me is self-evident.
"It seems that I want to take a trip to Quanyang City!"
The next day, Lin Xiaodong packed his bags and rushed to Quanyang City.
Quanyang City is surrounded by mountains and sea, with dense rivers and numerous springs in the city, especially Tailing Spring and Huhe Spring. The spring water gushes out of the ground all year round. It is clear and sweet, with pleasant scenery and comfortable climate. Every spring, when the king of the country goes out to spring, he must
Passing by here.
Four days later, Lin Xiaodong came to Quanyang City and found the guest house where Xu Siyi was staying temporarily. They met in the guest hall and sat down separately as the guest of honor.
Lin Xiaodong was sitting in the guest seat and looked towards the host seat. He saw a middle-aged man whom he did not recognize. He was dressed in official Si Tianjian official attire and looked dignified.
Dong Ziming sat next to the main seat, and Xu Siyi sat opposite Lin Xiaodong.
Xu Siyi introduced to the host: "Mr. Guo, this is Young Master Lin Xiaodong, who is under the princess's sect and is the Protector of Yiluan."
The Lord had a high self-esteem and naturally looked down on people like Lin Xiaodong who flattered the princess. He squinted his eyes and nodded slightly: "Lin Duhu, you protected the princess to find the fairy flower and cured the king's chronic illness. You have done a lot of credit!"
"This matter was done by the princess, I was just escorting her all the way."
Lin Xiaodong is humble and modest.
"Lin Duhu, this is Mr. Guo Yushan, Secretary of Si Tianjian."
Xu Siyi introduced the person in charge to Lin Xiaodong.
"Hello, Mr. Guo!"
Lin Xiaodong cupped his hands and thought to himself: Liu Guangyao didn't come, so this person should be the second-in-command of Si Tianjian.
"I was ordered by Mr. Liu to come to Quanyang City to investigate the case of a demon. This demon is very powerful and has been captured several times without success. Mr. Liu has other important matters. Miss Xu said that you are also good at stargazing, so I want to
Come and cooperate with the investigation."
Guo Yushan briefly explained the situation.
"Evil?"
Lin Xiaodong tilted his head and stared.
Xu Siyi said: "According to the files of the lord of Quanyang City, more than 20 chicken pens were stolen from residents in the city overnight, and nearly a thousand chickens were all bitten to death and drained of their blood."
"ah?
weasel?"
Lin Xiaodong had goosebumps on his back.
Xu Siyi shook her head: "How could a weasel break into more than twenty chicken pens overnight?"
"The most likely speculation at present is that monsters are causing trouble and sucking blood to practice martial arts."
Dong Ziming said.
Guo Yushan looked sternly: "I'm still sucking chicken blood now, but if I master it and suck human blood, I'll be in trouble.
I don’t know what kind of evil skill this monster is practicing. Don’t wait until it becomes a habit. By then, the few of us may not be opponents.”
"So we invited you here. We want you to watch the stars and make predictions. No matter what it is, find it as soon as possible."
Xu Siyi looked at Lin Xiaodong expectantly.
Lin Xiaodong understood the whole story and nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll take a look at the stars tonight and I should have the result."
Guo Yushan's tone was rather disdainful: "Originally, I wanted to invite Mr. Liu to come in person, but Mr. Liu had something to do and couldn't get away.
Miss Xu said that you are also good at Zhou Tianshu, and I strongly recommend inviting you to come, but I didn’t expect that you are so young, so you should be treated as a blind cat and a rat."
"Young Master Lin has a unique way of understanding Zhou Tianshu, and his cultivation level is far higher than that of Senior Brother Dong and I. The two of us cannot calculate it, but Young Master Lin may be able to calculate it."
Xu Siyi's face turned red.
Lin Xiaodong stared at Xu Siyi, spread his hands and said: "Miss Xu, I just said that I will also learn stargazing when I go back. Compared with Master Liu, I am still far behind."
"Young master, don't be humble. I heard from the princess that the master just used astrology to catch a spy from Wanfangzhai and Yaowu tribe."
Xu Siyi smiled lightly.
"Then I'll wait for your news tonight!"
Guo Yushan's tone was cold and he left the living room after speaking.
Xu Siyi kindly sat down next to Lin Xiaodong and asked: "Sir, long time no see, are you okay?"
Lin Xiaodong recalled that he had just risked his life in the siege of five hundred officers and soldiers to rescue the leader of the Shark tribe, and was safe and sound. It could be said to be quite safe.
"Thank you Miss Xu for your concern, everything is fine.
How is Miss Xu doing lately?"
"I've been investigating cases and traveling around."
Xu Siyi pouted.
"Good job!"
When Dong Ziming saw that the two people were chatting away, he stood up and left: "Mr. Lin, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
Only Lin Xiaodong and Xu Siyi were left in the living room.
"Miss Xu, I am also a beginner in stargazing. I still have many questions and I would like to ask the girl for advice."
Lin Xiaodong cupped his hands.
Xu Siyi smiled: "I also have many ideas that I want to communicate with Mr. Lin.
How about this, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, I will take you to Tai Lingquan and we can chat while walking, how about it?"
Lin Xiaodong happily agreed, and the two took a carriage to Tailingquan.
Tailing Spring is the largest spring in Quanyang City. A garden is built around the spring.
The two got off the car at the gate. Lin Xiaodong looked up and saw that the south gate was tall and spacious, with four vermilion pillars, gray tiles on the top of the door, and a black horizontal plaque with three gold characters "Tailingquan" written on it.
"Master, follow me!"
Xu Siyi pulled Lin Xiaodong's hand, then quickly let go, and took the lead into the garden.
Lin Xiaodong followed in and took a quick look. The first thing he saw was a lake with a square promenade built on the water. The water was full of lotus and carp. The spring pavilion in the center of the lake was crowded with young men and women, feeding the carp.
Happy.
"There are too many people. I will take the young master to see the spring first, and then find a secluded place."
Xu Siyi took Lin Xiaodong's arm and went up to Quanqiting.
The spring water is tinkling, and Tailing Spring is located in the lake. It is as thick as a bucket, half a meter high from the ground, and has a flat top, like a stone platform, hence the name Tailing Spring.
"This spring water never dries up all year round?"
Lin Xiaodong asked.
Xu Siyi pursed her lips and nodded: "Quanyang City is not very warm in winter, and the water will freeze, but the spring water is living water. In winter, the entire lake will freeze, but around the spring, there is living water the size of a round table. Looking at it in winter,
