Chapter 69 Looking for something
County government.
Pei Ye looked at the black cat, and the black cat looked back at him quietly.
"You know, I have little knowledge," Pei Ye asked hesitantly, "Is this thing really so important?"
"The Immortal Lord's aim is the highest recognition."
"Then, what should we do?"
"Find something like this before He arrives, and then let Ming Qitian take it away." Black Cat said calmly.
Pei Ye put down the basin, put it on his shoulder, and strode to his room to get the sword: "How to find it? Do you want Master Chang to mobilize manpower?"
"No need, just a few capable people will be enough." Black Cat said, "Because the clues are not here with us, and I don't know where to find them. There are so many people who are clueless."
"Then how to find it."
"Chasing the feeling of Taiyi True Dragon Immortal Lord."
"Didn't you say that He might not be found?"
"He doesn't know what this thing is, nor does he know its specific location, but he can follow the induction to find things connected to it. If there are enough such things, he can lock the location of the thing."
This kind of ability is unheard of, but Pei Ye can probably understand the logic.
But if that's the case, Hei Chi's words of "getting ahead" are too far-fetched. Pei Ye frowned and said, "You mean we follow him and wait for him to find him before we take advantage of him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Black Cat glanced at him and said, "We are trying to find ways to delay time, and he is also trying to buy time. From the moment he wakes up, he is probably planning for this."
"You mean...Zhu Gaoyang?" Pei Ye now realized why the Immortal Lord did not devour him.
"He should be the same, but Zhu Gaoyang doesn't have any fragments of my consciousness in his body, and we can't follow him. I'm talking about other 'little guys' who came to look for them. I can roughly lock their locations."
Pei Ye nodded. He understood what Hei Chi meant. He wanted to use the outstretched hand of the Immortal Lord to find the object, and then take advantage of the time difference before He arrived to take the object away.
Pei Ye dressed up and returned to the old man's house.
The old man was leaning on his wheelchair, the contentment on his face not completely gone.
"Want to go home?" the old man said hoarsely when he heard him coming in.
"Why are you so anxious to go back if you don't have good food and housing?" Pei Ye whispered, "The matter is not over yet, I have to find something."
Then he told him the current situation.
"You said, that thing was on par with the third one on the list last night?"
Apparently no one had told the old man about the situation Feng Huai was facing now. His voice was reduced to a rough iron sound, and a kind of coldness came out of his broken body.
The danger of what the young man was involved in exceeded the old man's expectation. He said hoarsely: "Is this the kind of thing you have faced in the past two days?"
"Yes, He may come soon. Just stay well at the county office." Pei Ye warned, "It's more or less safer here."
"What does this have to do with you?"
"..." Pei Ye was stunned for a moment and didn't answer for a while.
This matter really has nothing to do with him.
He has no official position and low strength. He was just involved in the situation before. Now Ming Qitian has freed him from this cobweb. He is just an ordinary citizen.
"It's okay. There's no danger for me to do this now. I won't meet that thing face to face." Pei Ye comforted the old man and said, "Anyway, I can't wait for the result."
"Idiot," the old man croaked.
"Haha." Pei Ye smiled.
He knew that the old man was caring. In the past few days, the two people who had been dependent on each other for many years suddenly rarely saw each other. One can imagine the worry in the old man's heart.
Now I have finally come back with all the trouble, and I haven't said a few words before I have to go out and mess around again.
The young man understood the uneasiness and powerlessness of the old man who could not move and whose vision was completely dark and could only wait every minute in the wheelchair, so he comforted him again: "Don't worry, it's really fine this time. I'm just walking around in the city. There's nothing wrong with me." The results came back.”
Pei Ye gently squeezed the old man's weak hand and turned around to go out.
Listening to Pei Ye walking out of the door, the old man slowly leaned back on the chair, staring intently at the sky with a pair of black holes.
He murmured for a long time: "The situation is always not mine, so I have to start over again."
…
When Pei Ye came to the lobby, Black Cat was giving instructions at the table. Xing Zhi Shanglang and several other experts from the state gathered around the table.
The black cat stood on a map of Fenghuai County that covered the entire table. There were bright red plum blossom prints in several places on the map.
Xing Zhi was conveying its meaning to the people who had just been summoned: "The hosts in these two places outside the city are relatively small, maybe pikas and rabbits, but they will definitely find a way to enter the city. Those who go here must be particularly careful and have a sharp eye. Better; the hosts in the four places of Qingfeng Alley, Laohe Road, Beiqiaotou, and Da Liushu are larger, and they should all be humans. You must first record where they go and what they are looking for, and secondly, try your best. Interrupting its spread – the first goal is more important.”
Everyone nodded.
Shang Lang and the others were all in the sixth and seventh lives, and it was easy to deal with the parasitic ordinary people. However, the task was not to eliminate the danger, but to secretly use them as hunting dogs.
"Group of two or three people, communicate at any time. If there are not enough people, go and call a few more. It doesn't matter if your cultivation level is lower, just be smart." After Xing Zhi gave the instructions, he saw Pei Ye walking in and asked, "What do you want? Don’t you want to go with Shang Lang?”
"No need. Brother Shang can lead a group alone. I'll just take care of the cat."
"Okay, you are familiar with Fenghuai, you can choose a position first."
Pei Ye glanced at it, and his eyes paused for a moment on the bright red plum blossoms with the words "Beiqiaotou". The memories of running around in the past flooded into his mind, and Pei Ye smiled unconsciously: "I'll go here, It’s a bit more remote and hard to find.”
The few people quickly decided where to go, each took a copy of the diagram, and disappeared from sight in a leap.
Pei Ye took the horse, wrapped the black cat in his arms, turned over and beat the horse away.
Beiqiaotou, this place is so friendly because it was the only way for Pei Ye to go to and from the martial arts school. If get out of class ended early every day, he and his friends would take advantage of the daylight to fish for shrimp in the river ditch.
There are relatively few residents here, and most of them are abandoned old houses, which are a bit winding, so Pei Ye recognized them by himself.
When he came here, beside the horse tree, Pei Ye looked around. The doors of several houses were closed. They must have all gone out of the city to tend the fields.
"Is this here?" Pei Ye turned around and asked Black Cat.
The black cat didn't answer, but pointed to a man wearing a straw hat in front of him.
The figure was somewhat familiar. Pei Ye remembered that when he was crossing the bridge, he often saw him happily sitting in the yard at the end of the bridge, planning new furniture, but he didn't know why he didn't move into a new house later.
When I saw this figure at this time, I just wanted to ask about the strange things around me.
He raised his hand and opened his mouth, but the word "Guangbo" reached his throat and got stuck.
It was the busy time of farming, so why did I come back as soon as I went to the fields?
He also walked towards the martial arts school.
