After rummaging through various brocade clothes, boots and other daily items, Shen Qing discovered another rather strange thing.
It was a piece of bamboo-like wood, about half an arm long, and its whole body was green. Although it looked like an extraordinary bamboo, there really wasn't anything magical about it.
But the reason is very simple. Qin Ying would not just carry a piece of bamboo with him casually. This thing must have some magical uses.
It's just that because Shen Qing's experience is too low, he really can't distinguish and confirm it, but who cares, just put it away.
Then there was really nothing left. Although the healing elixirs, Qi-replenishing elixirs, etc. were not bad, they were not the best, so after the excitement passed, Shen Qing took a good rest and prepared to practice directly after waking up.
Two secret books.
Because of his serious injury, even with Liu Xun's elixir to delay the injury, he still slept very deeply. When he woke up again, it was already the evening of the next day.
Shen Qing originally thought of getting up early to practice and then going to the thatched cottage later to have a look. Now it seems that it is better to go directly.
After washing up and swallowing a few healing pills, he stepped on the air shuttle and set off.
When the sky was full of stars, he finally arrived at the thatched cottage, but the scene he expected did not appear, and the thatched cottage remained silent.
Shen Qing sighed heavily. Although he didn't want to admit it, the bad premonition was getting stronger and stronger. On the contrary, Senior Duan's idea of going on a trip was gradually disappearing.
Squeak.
Pushing open the door of the thatched cottage, he hurriedly lit the stove, and then sat lonely next to the chess table.
In his imagination, Senior Duan was sitting across from him, looking at him with a stubborn smile. If he couldn't break the game after a few breaths, Senior Duan would probably force him to admit defeat.
There is no price for admitting defeat. Whoever loses is responsible for clearing the chessboard. Black and white are clear. They must be packed neatly into the chess cage. Although it is very simple, senior Duan is very serious about this matter. He said it after finishing the game
Keeping the chess board in order is a basic respect for the chess skill.
In a daze, Shen Qing returned to reality from his thoughts, smiled bitterly, and began to clear the chessboard.
One or two...
Suddenly, his expression condensed!
"That's not right. The chess pieces are so scattered. This is definitely not the style of our seniors!"
On the chess table in front of him, the chess game was intact, but there were some scattered chess pieces next to the chess cage. Shen Qing had noticed it when he came here before, but he didn't think much about it at that time.
But now that I think about it, the strangeness I felt at that time must have been this!
Senior Duan is crazy about chess and loves chess. Although he doesn’t know whether cleaning up the chessboard is an important matter in the eyes of other chess players, for Senior Duan, it must be done seriously, so he has no reason to give up.
The chess pieces were scattered in such a mess beside the chess cage. What's more, although he retired to the countryside, he was not so undisciplined that he didn't even bother to put a few chess pieces into the chess cage!
Therefore, he must have suddenly encountered some force majeure on the way and had to leave in a hurry!
But as a former king-level figure, looking at the entire Wanren Mountain, who can make him irresistible?
In an instant, Shen Qing locked onto four people, who were naturally the current Four Heavenly Kings.
Liu Changfeng, Bai Yuanzhen, Master Jiubao, Old Man Tianhan!
The first two are theoretically unlikely, but because of Shen Qing's existence, they may not be able to escape suspicion.
As for Master Jiubao, as the only spiritual refiner among the Four Heavenly Kings today, it was precisely because of Senior Duan's retirement that he was able to overtake Master Yin Chang, who was gentle and disliked competition, and became the Heavenly King. Therefore, he has a certain possibility.
But it's also very small.
As for the rest, only old man Tianhan is left.
That time in the family garden, old man Tianhan had a direct conversation with senior Duan. It can be seen that Tianhan was still superior, and in Tianhan's eyes, he didn't seem to take senior Duan too seriously.
In comparison, it doesn't matter about strength, but about status in the world. Liu, Bai, and Master Jiubao are all below Senior Duan. After all, the time for debut is set.
So if they force Senior Duan to leave here, or do something, given Senior Duan’s character, they probably won’t give him much face. And if they are really one of them, then they must come to Senior Duan who has retired.
They have to do something, so even if Senior Duan doesn't give him face, they should still use force.
If this is the case, everything in the thatched cottage should not be intact except for the chessboard. Because they are the top powers of Wanren today, even if they are just competing with each other, they should have energy to surge out, making this small thatched cottage.
Showing some signs of fighting.
To sum up, old man Tianhan is the most likely candidate!
He is the only one who is truly a contemporary of Qiu Huang. To him, Liu Bai Jiubao and others are all rising stars, and even Senior Duan is just an unknown person of his generation.
It wasn't until later that Senior Duan succeeded in refining spirits and entered the humble family that was already dominating the evil world on his own, that their status in the world was barely equal.
Therefore, if Tianhan arrives, both his strength and identity will be enough to prevent Senior Duan from resisting.
It's not that he's afraid, but because it's completely unnecessary, because again, if he really finds a reclusive person like him, it will be inevitable.
"Could it be that I have implicated Senior Duan after all!"
Shen Qing gritted his teeth, feeling infinite self-blame in his heart.
"No, I have to find Senior Duan, I want to see Tianhan!"
About two hours later, he said this exactly to Qi Shuang.
He really had no choice, because on his own, he was not even qualified to take the initiative to find Tianhan and die. The Han Clan was at the height of the sun, but he had no idea where the Han Clan's court was or who the Han Clan's disciples were.
This organization is so powerful that it is famous outside, but it is able to keep all the major families in the dark, let alone Shen Qing.
Then he thought of Qi Shuang, a woman who seemed to be related to all the prominent figures in Wanren Mountain.
"Why are you looking for Tianhan?" Qi Shuang sat on a luxurious chair in the VIP room of the Tiandao Chamber of Commerce, resting his chin on his hand and looking at Shen Qing with interest.
"I just want to find him. If you are willing to help me, I can add to the previous conditions." Shen Qing said with determination.
"In other words, the three things you owe me have not been settled, and now they have to be paid four times?" Qi Shuang smiled, "That's not possible, God knows if you will never come back to Tianhan, only to increase the price.
But I don’t have a chance to receive anything in return. Isn’t it a big loss for me?”
"Then how can you help me?" Shen Qing was a little impatient. Although he was asking for help, he really didn't need to talk to the other party. It was just about profit. He had reason to believe that if the price was right, he would scold Qi Shuangyi.
Suddenly, Qi Shuang would still help him if he should, because Qi Shuang was only interested in profit and was a complete profiteer.
"Hey, why is Mr. Shen always so hostile to me? Don't I have enough help for you? By the way, there are a lot of good things in Qin Ying's Qiankun Ring, right?"
After a pause, Qi Shuang smiled again and said: "Let me count, two secret books, more than eighty yuan crystals, oh, and a piece of Jiyin Bamboo, tsk tsk, the value of these things is probably close to a thousand It’s worth ten thousand yuan."
Ten million is not an exaggeration, because a prefecture-level two-star elemental skill alone can fetch millions at the Tiandao Chamber of Commerce. But what concerns Shen Qing is that Qi Shuang has already secretly inspected it, why is he still there? Giving him the Qiankun Ring with such a high value for nothing is very inconsistent with the style of a profiteer!
As if she could see what he was thinking, Qi Shuang slightly hooked her lips and said, "So, I have really been helping you. Now you say you want to see Tianhan, okay, actually I can also help you, but there is one Prerequisite, you must tell me why."
"Tianhan gave me a four-year ultimatum. Even if you don't help me, I will definitely see him in four years." Shen Qing frowned. The more Qi Shuang wanted to know the reason, the less he wanted to say it. It's because he can't determine the other party's purpose.
Why! You just want to know the reason why he met Tianhan. Doesn’t Qi Shuang not want him to see Tianhan?
Of course, this can be understood as Qi Shuang worrying about the failure of her investment, but Shen Qing always feels that there are other reasons besides this.
However, he was still not as good as Qi Shuang. The other party just said "Oh" as if nothing had happened, and then asked calmly: "You really can wait?"
Shen Qing took a deep breath. In front of this woman, he felt that the city he had always been in was just a lie.
Can you wait? I can't wait at all. If Senior Duan's disappearance is really related to Tianhan, I don't need to say more about what it means to wait for four years.
In desperation, he could only briefly talk about the matter. Qi Shuang didn't react at all, but said naturally: "Okay, I will help you find a way, and you will wait for me to inform you."
Shen Qing frowned. The former king-level figure mysteriously disappeared. Let alone Qi Shuang's status, even an ordinary citizen would be shocked when he heard this, right?
"Did you already know this?!"
"What do I know? Haha, don't think nonsense. I just don't believe that with Senior Duan's status, something will happen easily. Don't worry, I don't think it has anything to do with Tianhan. Maybe he is really just traveling. Gone."
Shen Qing said nothing, he naturally hoped that this was the case.
"Go back and wait. I'll see Tianhan and see what conclusions I can draw. I'll analyze it for you then."
This was the only thing that could be done for now, Shen Qing bowed his hands, said goodbye and left.
Qi Shuang's work efficiency was more powerful than he imagined. He thought that if he wanted to see Tianhan, even Qi Shuang would have to go through a lot of trouble to arrange it, but in fact, at noon the next day, he received a notice from Qi Shuang.
Tomorrow at midnight, Wanren will gather at the Tianfu Tea House, and Tianhan will come in person!
Not only did he contact Tianhan in just one day, but he was also able to have Tianhan show up in person. Although it was very likely that Tianhan himself was going to be there in person, it had to be said that Shen Qing was very impressed with this woman's ability and network. Take a higher look.
No, I shouldn’t be impressed by it, but I should be shocked by it!
What is her identity? Is she really just the chief treasure appraiser of Tiandao Chamber of Commerce?
Obviously, yes, but not only that, the depth of her background and the breadth of her hands and eyes may be like a cold pool of all kinds of difficulties, making it difficult for people to see clearly, let alone touch the edges...
