Chapter 347: Pursuing Traces
"You can set off in these few days to avoid delaying your time. I will continue to stay here." Old Xu ordered again.
"But uncle, don't you want to visit friends in other places?" Xu Zhiyan was a little confused.
"That was when I knew I was not having too much time before, so I was afraid that I would not have time. Now that I can continue to be a ghost official after death, I naturally don't need to worry so much!" Mr. Xu smiled brightly, and obviously the depression that was originally pressing on his heart disappeared.
There seems to be no longer so melancholy about the coming death...
"But my nephew still wants to be with you during this period..." Xu Zhiyan hesitated.
"Don't ask my mother-in-law. After I become a ghost official, I still have the chance to meet. Why waste all this time?" Mr. Xu's stubborn temper came up again.
Xu Zhiyan dared not disobey and could only obey.
Then Mr. Xu remembered what he had talked with Zhou Shize last night, and couldn't help but become interested. He wanted to go over and meet him and asked him more about the ghost town. After all, he is just a newcomer at the moment, and some experiences still need to be asked by the old man.
And just as he was on the road, he met the prefect Yang who was about to come to find him.
"teacher……"
Seeing his hurried look, the prefect Yang couldn't help but wonder, and asked curiously: "I wonder if the teacher has something urgent to do this?"
"A friend I met yesterday can't wait to talk." Mr. Xu didn't hide his straightforward personality, but just smiled.
"My friend?!"
Prefect Yang was stunned. Can there be young people who are still attracted to by Mr. Xu in this small town in the wilderness? This is really incredible, so he couldn't react at once.
Just as he was secretly thrusting in his heart, he suddenly heard Mr. Xu, who was about to bypass him, suddenly looked back and seemed to have thought of something, and said earnestly:
"By the way, I look carefully at Zhou Shize's character is indeed good. You can observe it carefully. Don't insult a good official who serves the country and the people just because he believes in some rumors!"
"Um?!"
The prefect Yang was stunned and stood there in a daze. He turned to look at Old Xu who was leaving and Xu Zhiyan who seemed to be following him with a little smile behind him. He was really confused.
"Isn't yesterday... it's not that what you said by teacher, Zhou Shize is not good? Why did you blame me?"
He felt a little wronged, and he felt very strange, and he couldn't help but think a little.
"After just one night, why did the teacher's opinion change a lot? Is it impossible for eight cows to pull back what I had decided on before! Could it be... Then Zhou Shize really knows some magic tricks?"
He immediately threw away such absurd thought and sighed secretly.
"No matter what, there will always be a good result..."
After giving instructions on the ghost town, Du Bai also officially began to get busy with his own affairs.
That afternoon, a simple carriage slowly drove over at the entrance of a town called "Menglong City" in a remote area. The old horse, who looked old but still had a steady pace, slowly slapped the whip. After a while, he finally arrived in front of an inn.
"Customer, we're here!"
The middle-aged groom in gray coat jumped out of the car quickly and shouted into the car with a bit of a smile on his face, waiting for the response of the guest who took action along the way.
"good!"
The curtain of the car slowly lifted up, and a young man's calm face was revealed, which was Du Bai.
This time, he saw that the matter in Yuanyang City had been almost solved, so he simply focused on solving the small trouble left by the Thirteenth Aunt, that is, the demon who might have the relics of "Immortals".
No matter how you look at it, as long as you are related to the immortals and Buddhas, even if the other party is just a demon with less than four hundred years of cultivation, you cannot just leave it alone. After all, no one knows whether there will be any irreparable consequences even for a moment at night.
What's more, the "relics of immortals" are quite attractive to him. If you can get them earlier, it may help you have a better understanding of the existence of the immortals and Buddhas.
And in order to avoid unnecessary trouble this time, he chose to come alone without bringing his family.
He paid the car money and gave some tips. Amid the driver's constant excitement and gratitude, Du Bai officially stepped into this strange small town, and his seemingly calm but implicitly vigilant eyes slowly swept across all the people and things around him.
The place where he sees it is just a small town, with not many outstanding places, and it is even less prosperous than Yuanyang City. However, in his view, it is just an illusion of stability.
Following the mark he left on the remnant soul, he could feel that the last place he stayed was in Menglong City. Unfortunately, the mark was completely covered up and could not be noticed, which made him unable to find the target directly.
Although it was a little disappointed, it was reasonable. After all, the other party had "relics of immortals" on it, and the little bit of immortal energy was enough to cover up all the tracking methods, just like Du Bai's own Buddha bones, the effect was quite amazing!
But I thought the other party had just borrowed a little bit of fur, otherwise he wouldn't have even no strength to fight him head-on. But from another perspective, if it was really so bold that it would use the immortal energy like it, it would probably be like a fire to burn it, and he would just be done first. After all, a demon with four hundred years of cultivation is just an ant-like existence in front of the immortal.
Thinking of this, he didn't have much worry. Anyway, after finding the other party, he just called the door and hit the other party "voluntarily" present the treasure.
But before that, it is also a problem to find the other party...
Du Bai, who was thinking about this question, heard a little noisy voice coming from a tavern. He suddenly moved his heart and turned around and walked in. He glanced at the table that was almost full. The lively environment made him feel a little interesting. Then he found an empty seat and called the guy over.
"Waiter, give me a glass of good wine." He ordered, but asked casually again, "By the way, I just passed here from outside today. I wonder if there are any rules here?"
