Wang Lun secretly returned to the lake after a day and a half later.

I didn't get too close to the lake, I only came to the top of a mountain near the lake, and looked down at the lake below.

The lake is calm and there is no one to see. The trees around the lake are lush and blend into the lake, but it is impossible to see if anyone is hiding in the woods.

After all, Wang Lun did not keep getting close, and did not want to be completely exposed for this recklessness.

After observing for several hours, no abnormality occurred. Wang Lun quietly left, set out in the direction of Lingzong, and used the silver-winged divine armor to quickly travel in the clouds.

A day and a half ago, I felt someone using my spiritual sense to spy under the water. Then I found a special mark on the trunk and found a tree hole near the lake where someone had slept. Although I didn't see where the person was in these three times, I quickly destroyed the space beacon and left the lake directly until I returned just now.

Wang Lun believed in his intuition. When he was laying out space beacons deep underwater, there should be someone on the shore who was spying on it!

It is even possible that the other party knows who he is!

Because the lake itself is an extremely remote place, it is almost impossible for anyone to visit. Suppose the snoop was sleeping in the tree hole before he went to the lake. When he stepped on the lake to reach the center of the lake, the snoop happened to leave the tree hole and it was entirely possible to see clearly his appearance.

For the past day and a half, Wang Lun has been trying to find this snoop.

This person first slept on the tree hole, and secondly, the mark on the tree trunk should have been carved by this person. Wang Lun investigated based on these two clues in the past day and a half, and went to several treasure pavilions to buy some special books to find out the meaning of the mark.

In the spiritual world, various sect badges, special marks used by various forces, symbols commonly used by some famous masters, etc. These information have also been sorted out by those who are interested and divided into the content of the gossip. There are books on the market that introduce these things. The selling point is that these contents can satisfy people's curiosity after dinner. Wang Lun did find more than a dozen books of this type, but after reading them carefully, he did not find that he used the marks recorded by the photo stone in the book.

This type of books basically covers special marks and symbols that are widely spread in the spiritual world. Since no corresponding one is found, Wang Lun does not think that he has missed it himself, but the marks on his hand are not widely spread, and are mostly private marks used within a certain force or even a small group.

It is not a general type of mark, but a private mark, so there is no need to search through related books, and it will be useless to find it again.

Common types of marks are the same as the various symbols used in various industries on earth. They all represent certain meanings, while private marks are completely different. The meaning they represent is only useful in a small range, and even does not have any meaning in themselves. They are just marks used to contact the other party.

Wang Lun then changed his mind, went to several black markets, took out multiple marks including that mark, and paid for someone to identify them.

The mark he cared about was mixed with other marks. After several black market trips, the results he received were different every time. Some recognized one-third of the marks, and some recognized almost half of the marks.

Except for the marks he made up himself, the marks that really have meaning were actually identified at least once.

He made up almost six marks, and these marks, as well as the mark on the tree trunk, were not identified!

At this point, the idea of ​​using the power of the black market to get the mark is not feasible, so I can only give up.

It took almost a day and a half to do these things. Wang Lun just went to the lake again, and now he is on his way to Lingzong.

The vacation is over, and there is more than one day left!

There is a reason why Wang Lun chose to go to Lingzong.

Because the current focus has changed from trying to understand the meaning of marks on the tree trunk to trying to find who is the person who engraved the marks.

Wang Lun knew that the person who was most likely to appear in the lake area was the cultivator of the Ling Sect.

Guo Qunqi has been sending people to monitor him. Before he went to the lake, there might be multiple people near the Time and Space City to monitor him in sections and lock in his whereabouts. Therefore, there are people in the lake in advance and they sleep in a tree hole, so maybe they are from Lingzong.

At least, compared with the other eleven major sects, the possibility that the snooper comes from the Ling Sect is the greatest.

Wang Lun flew quickly in the clouds,

Without a stop in the middle, I flew all the way to the mountain gate of Lingzong.

However, Wang Lun did not reveal his identity and did not enter Ling Sect directly. Instead, he stayed nearby. After a while, a man came from outside rather than from the mountain gate of Ling Sect and looked around.

Wang Lun directly sent a message to the other party, and he did not want to show up in front of the guards of the Lingzong, although he was disguising his face at this moment.

The man heard the sudden sound in his ears, and was surprised and found the place and met Wang Lun.

"The Forbidden City True Man sent you here?"

Wang Lun asked first. He was dressed as a weak monk at this moment, and his voice changed. No one could connect him in front of him with Wang Lun.

The man was very respectful to Wang Lun: "Yes. The master told me that the Forbidden City Master had probably told me what I was going to do."

Wang Lun contacted the Forbidden Sword General while on the road and asked the other party to introduce someone. Through this person, he contacted a "Bai Xiaosheng" within the Lingzong. The Forbidden Sword General arranged the man to come.

This man is equivalent to an intermediary. Someone wants to complete a business and cannot find a way, so he can try to ask such an intermediary to help because the intermediary knows many people and has a wide range of ways.

Wang Lun told the specific request to this person: "I need someone in Ling Sect who knows the various gossip rumors in Ling Sect. It is best for this person's cultivator to be below the Killing Realm. When you contact this person, be sure to leave no traces and not alarm anyone else."

This requirement may seem to be many and high, but it is not difficult for an intermediary who is skilled in business.

The man listened carefully, then asked some questions in detail, and nodded not long after that he could arrange it and do the job well.

Wang Lun was waiting in place, but the man did not enter the Ling Sect. He took out a bunch of jade slips for transmission. After choosing, he used one of the jade slips to contact the person.

After a stick of incense, the man and Wang Lun said, "The man in the Ling Sect has agreed to come out to meet. I did not explain to him what he wanted to do. He came out alone and would not attract attention."

Not long after waiting, Wang Lun met the "Bai Xiaosheng" in the Ling Sect. The other party was a tall and thin middle-aged man with a troubling of goat whiskers and his eyes were rolling.

"Let's go, find a place to chat first."

Wang Lun led the way in front, and stopped a carriage on the road. He arrived in the city dozens of miles away and entered a teahouse.

"Can you recognize this symbol?"

In the closed box, the intermediary man was left outside the box, with only Wang Lun and Bai Xiaosheng inside.

Of course, there is more than one such Bai Xiaosheng in the Ling Sect. Wang Lun did not ask this person's name, as long as this person can help. If this person can't help, he can only ask the intermediary man to introduce other Bai Xiaosheng from the Ling Sect.

Bai Xiaosheng took a piece of paper from Wang Lun, and the standard mark was drawn on it.

Wang Lun did not mix other marks into it and let the other party distinguish them, so it would be meaningless to do it.

"This mark..." Bai Xiaosheng frowned slightly and was thinking, "I know this is a mark used by the cultivators of the Lingzong Sect, so let me think carefully for a moment."

Wang Lun thought the other party was frowning, but he had no idea. Unexpectedly, the other party confirmed that the mark came from a cultivator of the Ling Sect. He frowned just because he didn't think of the specific person for the time being. Of course, Wang Lun did not urge him and waited for the other party to come out smoothly.

Just a few seconds later, Bai Xiaosheng's brows stretched out and he smiled and said, "Customer, I remembered that this mark is used by people from the Shuiling Peak."

Wang Lun nodded, but asked: "There are many people in that lineage, is this mark their common mark?"

"Not this," Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, "This mark is only used among several masters of Shuiling Peak, which is equivalent to being used within the upper level of Shuiling Peak. The guests don't know that the master of Shuiling Peak and the other people who have the right to speak are from the same sect, and their master is the previous master of Shuiling Peak."

The person who engraved the marks directly reduced from everyone in the lineage to the few people, and the difficulty of locking them was reduced a lot. Wang Lun was happy inside and calmly said on the surface: "What does this mark mean?"

The answer to this question is also important. Since Bai Xiaosheng can recognize this mark, he must know the meaning of it.

"This is the positioning mark used by several of them internally. Someone engraved this mark. As long as the other people saw it, they knew that the other party had appeared there. The meaning of this mark is very narrow. Fortunately, I once participated in it.

I have added a training they are responsible for, and I have been lucky enough to see this mark, and I have heard from people from that lineage introduce this mark."

Bai Xiaosheng's face was lustful.

If he had not recognized this mark by chance, he would have really not be able to recognize it.

Most of the other Bai Xiaosheng can't recognize him.

You should know that this mark is not special and is only used within a few people. Who will disclose the meaning of this mark if you have nothing to do? Who will discuss this mark if you have nothing to do?

"I'm working hard, fellow Taoist," Wang Lun took out a few medium-grade spirit stones, "This is the reward for you."

Bai Xiaosheng was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. The reward was very generous and it was worth the trip.

As for why the other party knows the meaning of such a mark, it is nothing to do with him. After he goes back, he will just pretend that nothing has happened and just keep the little money he has made today and enjoy it.

"Fellow Taoist look here."

Wang Lun signaled the other party to look at him.

When Bai Xiaosheng looked at Wang Lun's eyes, his consciousness instantly dissipated, as if he was deeply hypnotized, his upper body was slightly shaking, his head was lowered, as if he was asleep.

Wang Lun's spiritual consciousness penetrated the other party's sea of ​​consciousness and began to clear the other party's memories for the past few hours.

The other party's cultivation level is only the foundation-building realm. Wang Lun needs to do it, and he can easily clear the other party's memory of the past week, and even fill in the memory he wants, that is, to create dreams directly with the other party, so now he is just clearing the other party's memory for a few hours, which is a very simple thing at all.

After a while, Wang Lun stopped and succeeded easily.

Wang Lun took a pot of wine in front of the other party and let the other party fall on the table, as if he was drunk.

Then, Wang Lun opened the door of the box and walked out. The agent outside saw Wang Lun come out and smiled. Wang Lun said, "Please ask fellow Taoist to ask us for some bottles of fine wine."

The agent nodded and went to do it. After all, he could get a considerable reward and just paid for a few bottles of wine, so he didn't feel sorry for him.

After buying the wine, Wang Lun invited the agent to enter the private room.

"Hey, this man got drunk so soon?"

The intermediary is puzzled.

The next moment, the agent fainted for no reason. At least the agent himself did not know what was going on.

Wang Lun took the wine and helped the other party to drink it. He drank all the wine himself, leaving the empty bottle in front of Bai Xiaosheng, and he helped the agent leave the teahouse and got outside to a carriage.

After leaving the city, Wang Lun also cleared the intermediary's recent memory. The memory involved a longer time, which reached almost a day. Wang Lun then placed the intermediary on a tree.

When this person wakes up, he can't remember what happened, nor can he figure out why he is on a tree.

Wang Lun directly eliminated the potential hidden dangers that the agent and Bai Xiaosheng might have left, so he naturally did not worry that the matter of his investigation mark would be exposed. No matter how many things happened afterwards, at least the agent and Bai Xiaosheng would not know.

This wave of investigation almost didn't waste any time, and it directly confirmed that the snoop was from the Ling Sect!

"Now we have to consider the situation."

"If the snooper does not recognize me and does not know who is the person who set up the formation in the lake, then the snooper carves marks on the trunks and tells his fellow disciples the purpose of visiting the lake. It may be to suspect that someone is looking for treasures in the lake. The snooper wants to find out, fearing something happens, and marks them in advance to prevent accidents."

"If the snooper recognizes me, he will definitely report it to Guo Qunqi as soon as possible."

Wang Lun knew that if the situation was the former, it would be no big deal. He could ignore anything. If there was a holiday in the future, he just had to leave the track of the spiritual cultivators and choose a suitable place to continue setting up space beacons.

But if the situation is the second, then there will be trouble.

The snoop will definitely tell Guo Qunqi about the situation. After all, Guo Qunqi is the sect leader. The snoop found that Wang Lun was setting up a formation in the lake and definitely thought that the situation was urgent and must have been reported to the sect leader.

If Guo Qunqi knew the situation and told the spiritual real person and others, he would be targeted. Even if he could kill Guo Qunqi in the future, others would seriously suspect him and think that Guo Qunqi was killed by him.

If Guo Qunqi chooses to keep the secret temporarily after knowing the situation, then everything will be fine if he kills Guo Qunqi and the snoop.
