Damn it!

There are Japanese people everywhere!

Shen Wanwan and Nangong Wanning exchanged a glance, then turned to Lao Huwei. "Who is this old Taoist you're talking about, and where is he now?"

"I don't know..."

"Do you want to die?" Nangong Wanning waved his fist.

The old Taoist shuddered, "I, I really don't know. He has already left Jiangzhou, more than three months ago..."

Five months ago, Lao Huwei went to the foot of Dongjiling Mountain to pick wild vegetables. He met an old Taoist priest who was dying by the river. Feeling sorry for him, he took him back to his bare home.

At least it can shelter you from the wind and rain.

Lao Huwei never expected that the old man he picked up out of kindness turned out to be a treasure.

Ever since he brought the old Taoist back home, he never went to Dongjiling to dig wild vegetables again.

The old Taoist priest was a real Taoist priest. He was grateful to Lao Huwei for saving him and decided to help him improve his life.

At first, Lao Huwei thought that the Taoist priest was an old charlatan. His counting movements with fingers were exactly the same as those of the deceptive charlatans.

But the old Taoist said: "If you really want to eat meat, just do as I say, come at 3:30 pm..."

When Lao Huwei heard that he could eat meat, he licked his lips. He was skeptical, but still went there on time.

This trip is impossible.

He was carrying a broken basket and had just arrived at the place the Taoist priest told him about. Suddenly, a gray-haired hare jumped out from nowhere, hit the tree stump next to him and died.

From then on, the first thing Lao Huwei did every day when he woke up was to pester the old Taoist for advice.

He had had enough of the hard life of digging wild vegetables every day, he wanted to eat meat!

The old Taoist priest is very capable, so we should eat more meat while he is around. If there is any left, we can sell it for silver.

The old Taoist priest certainly knew what he was thinking, but he did not expose it. He always responded to his requests and even occasionally told him where he could dig for gold.

Let me put it this way, ever since he got the advice from the old Taoist, Lao Huwei can wait for rabbits to come to him at the foot of the mountain with a broken basket, catch fish with one hand in the river, and pick up gold while walking on the road.

In just less than two months, his life changed dramatically.

He became the richest man in the surrounding villages, bought land, found a wife and moved to the city.

But the old Taoist also said that he only had so much blessings in this life, so he had to cherish what he had, otherwise his second half of life would be miserable.

Lao Huwei was filled with remorse. Before the old Taoist priest left, he repeatedly warned him not to drink even a drop of alcohol, otherwise his blessings would end prematurely or even bring him into trouble.

Why doesn't he listen?

He couldn't help but slap himself twice, which made Shen Wanwan and Nangong Wanning stunned.

This person, I wonder if he has seen a ghost?

"The old Taoist really left. He told me in person that he was leaving Jiangzhou, but he didn't say where he was going."

Lao Huwei glanced in the direction of the two people and could only see blurry white shadows.

The two of them were silent, so he had no choice but to continue, "Regarding the rumor that Dongjiling is haunted, it's been spread quite a bit. It's said that the ghost started haunting seven years ago, and the ghost has been quiet for many years, but recently, for some reason, it has started making trouble again.

“But the old Taoist told me that the noises at the Xie family’s ancestral tomb were caused by the Fortune-stealing Formation, and it wasn’t really haunted. He also said that the one who set up the Fortune-stealing Formation at the Xie family’s ancestral tomb was a very powerful figure from Japan.

“As for that person’s name, I didn’t hear it clearly, but I once fought with that person and not only lost but also nearly lost my life. If I hadn’t happened to pass by and picked him up, I’m afraid he would have really died.

"He said he knew he was destined for this disaster, but there was also a glimmer of hope. If I hadn't had good intentions when I found him, he wouldn't have brought me back. So he was willing to help me change my fate, and I..."

Nangong Wanning couldn't help but interrupt, "Get to the point!"

Lao Huwei shuddered, "Okay, lady, don't be impulsive... The old Taoist recuperated in my home for nearly two months before suddenly leaving. He didn't really say where he was going, only that he wanted to leave Jiangzhou."

"Why did he specifically tell you this?" Shen Wanwan asked the question in her mind.

Lao Huwei shook his head repeatedly. "No, no, the old Taoist didn't tell me this on purpose. In fact, I was drunk. To be honest, the night before he left, we had a couple of extra drinks. If we hadn't been drinking that day, I would never have heard this."

He looked up again, trying to see the two people's faces clearly in the darkness to judge whether they were satisfied with what he said.

Unfortunately, all I saw were still two white shadows.

Seeing that the two did not say anything, he continued, "Oh right, the old Taoist also said that the Japanese had the ambition to annex our Nan Yao many years ago. Their king knew that it would not be easy to annex it, and out of nowhere, such a powerful figure appeared, saying that he could help them seize the destiny of Nan Yao.

"The Xie family, the Mu family, and another family formed a solid iron triangle supporting the fortunes of our Nan Yao. If they wanted to succeed, they had to dismantle this iron triangle first, so they set their sights on the Xie family. Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about it until eight years ago..."

Lao Huwei finished telling what he had heard from the old Taoist priest. Shen Wanwan and Nangong Wanning asked a few more important questions before they quietly left the alley.

……

Sihai Inn.

Not long after Shen Wanwan and Nangong Wanning walked out of the inn lobby, Xie Leqing and others paid the bill and went up to the third floor.

Xie Leqing pushed the door open and walked into the room. Nangong Hao followed closely behind him and closed the door behind him.

Nangong Che blinked, hesitating whether to go into the house immediately, Chuntao very tactfully pulled him into the next room.

"It seems that Madam and Prince Pingnan have something to discuss. My cousin, please go with me first and wait until they are done talking before returning."

Nangong Che did not object, “Okay, listen to Sister Chuntao.”

Ye Tianlan looked at Chuntao twice, then turned and walked into another room.

He didn't light the lights, but he didn't rest immediately either.

He walked straight to the window, leaned against it, and looked up at the sky.

This room is located at the end of the inn's corridor, and from the window you can see the situation of two streets.

Although both streets were under the cover of night, the situations were completely different.

One street is bustling.

There are many street stalls with lights on. The shadows of the customers fall on the bluestone road, stretched out very long, but because there are too many passers-by, they are smashed to pieces.

Occasionally a horse-drawn carriage would pass by slowly, and the clatter of horse hooves and the sound of wheels turning blended harmoniously with the shouts of the vendors.

This is the night market in Yong'an City. Looking down from the Sihai Inn, you can see the end of the street at a glance.

Ye Tianlan's gaze fell on the stall selling pearl flowers, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up.

The two sisters said they wanted to go out to the night market.

He doesn't believe it, and his aunt won't believe it either.

But they all nodded and let them go, but they didn't know what news they would bring back.

However, when he thought of the conversation between the people dining at the next table in the lobby on the first floor, his eyes flickered slightly.

Seizing luck...

At this time, Feiyue supported Canglang and rushed all the way to the downstairs of Sihai Inn.

Ye Tianlan's gaze had just turned away from the bustling street and was looking to the other side when he saw two figures entering his field of vision downstairs.

He frowned slightly, immediately jumped out of the window and landed in front of the two people.

"How is this going?"

There was a strong smell of blood on the wolf's body, and it was obvious that it was seriously injured.

Strangely, the breath was not disordered.

When Feiyue was hesitating whether to go directly through the main door, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of her. She whispered, "Young Master Ye?"

Canglang was very excited. "Master Ye, my master is in trouble. Please go and save him quickly..."

Ye Tianlan stared intently, "Where is he now? What happened?"

"In Dongji Ridge, my master is trapped in the Xie family's ancestral tomb. There is a strange formation there, and only you can save him..."

Earlier, in the forbidden area behind the Jokhang Temple, he was accidentally trapped in a formation. If it weren't for Young Master Ye, he would never have been able to get out of the formation.

At that time, Canglang knew that Ye Tianlan was very powerful, definitely stronger than his master.

Canglang finished explaining the entire incident in extremely concise language and pleaded again, "Young Master Ye, please hurry up and save my master! It will be too late if you delay any longer!"

Ye Tianlan looked back upstairs and was about to say something to Feiyue when he heard hurried footsteps in the distance.

"Canglang, what did you just say was too late?"
