The morning on earth is always filled with a very unique smell.

When the first rooster crow sounded in the streets and alleys of the town, various sounds sounded one after another, first, the sound of walking, then the sound of washing, and then the sound of pots and pans.

As the flames rose, the burnt scent of fireworks and white hot steam began to rise, the whole town completely woke up.

Naturally, I still have a hint of laziness in the morning. Even during the period of breakfast and breakfast, many people's movements are still slow. Although I know that there are still many things to do today, this period seems to be insanely impatient. Even if I squeeze out some time elsewhere, it seems that this morning is still Mu Mu's head.

The lazy atmosphere is filled with a awakening vitality, and all kinds of heat are mixed together. This smell is not noticed when you have it, but when you lose it or have not been exposed to this smell for a long time, it is particularly nostalgic.

The door of a store is open either early or late. All the products sold in this store are bamboo products, ranging from cheap bamboo pens, bamboo tubes, bamboo baskets, bamboo chairs, bamboo sedans, and even large bamboo poles used to build bamboo houses. All the products related to bamboo seem to be available in life.

The business of this store should be considered large in this small town. This store occupies three street shops, and there are two more in the back. One is the warehouse, and the other is the owner of the store for living.

An old man walked out of the shop.

It is said that it is an old man, but because his hair is gray and his face gives people the feeling of time. After a closer look, you will find that apart from the fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, there are not even a trace of wrinkles elsewhere on his face.

The old man looked at a place on the east end of the streets, where the white steam was lingering, and it was very lively. It was a shop selling rice noodles, and the most popular one was pig miscellaneous noodles.

The old man looked at the copper pot of pork stalks in the shop, and seemed to want to eat a bowl at the shop, but for some reason, he changed his mind, sighed, and walked towards the west end of the street and alley.

He stopped at the entrance of an inn.

This inn is very simple. In this market town, the room price is the cheapest, but the surrounding scenery is pretty good. It is close to the river. The water of this river is very shallow but clear, and there are many pebbles of all sizes by the river.

There is no food for the inn, so although some guests have already gotten up and left the store one after another, the owner still doesn't know whether he is sleeping or elsewhere.

There is a very dilapidated pavilion next to the inn, but the pavilion is also built with bamboo.

The old man sat down in this pavilion.

Shortly after he sat down, a girl came out of the inn.

The girl is a bit tall and thin, wearing a very ordinary coarse cloth dress. Her appearance is already pretty good in such a market town, but generally speaking, the more single a woman is walking outside, the less ordinary people in the martial arts world are.

"So you've discovered me a long time ago?"

The girl looked at the old man sitting in the pavilion and said with a frown.

"You don't seem to be afraid of death?" The old man did not answer her question, but just looked at her and smiled.

"I have been practicing in the army. If the mission fails in the army, I am very likely to die, so I am not afraid of death." The girl looked at the old man's expression and seemed to be a little surprised, but there was indeed no fear in her eyes, "Besides, you don't seem to want to kill me."

"It's amazing. It was not until you arrived in the town and stayed here that I realized that you were following me. I couldn't even understand that my whereabouts were so secret. How could you track me down? And I could still follow me all the way here before I discovered it." The old man restrained his smile and looked at the girl seriously. "A young practitioner like you are not as powerful as you, there are not many in the Southern Dynasty and Northern Wei Dynasty. What's your name?"

The girl said very simply: "Ni Yunshan."

The old man suddenly realized it, and then he was a little amazed, "Ni Yunshan, Wang Pingyang, Li Moxiao, Lin Yi... These young talents in the Nantianyuan are really young talents, and they are all really amazing. Although Xiao Yan has been criticized in other places, the Nantianyuan he founded with this hand may really be famous in history."

Ni Yunshan frowned slightly and said, "Your name is really Yuwen Lie?"

The old man nodded.

With his nod, his whole body seemed to have suddenly become much younger. If someone seemed to be far away, even if his hair was still gray at this time, I am afraid that anyone who saw him would think he was a middle-aged man, not an old man.

"When did you follow me?" He still couldn't help but look at Ni Yunshan and raised the question again.

"Just when you control the Demon Sect and prepare to go to Luoyang." Ni Yunshan looked at him and said, "I was originally one of the border cultivators who were receiving General Wei Rui."

Yuwen Lie vaguely heard the meaning of her words and said in surprise: "When the Ri Demon Sect and Wei Rui fought, you were actually nearby?"

Ni Yunshan nodded.

Yuwen Lie looked at her incredible ways and said, "So you are nearby, but when Wei Rui fought with the Demon Sect, you didn't want to take action?"

"Because I have also discovered your existence. Since my cultivation level cannot change anything, what is most suitable for me is to track down more clues and obtain more valuable military information." Ni Yunshan said.

"So you even followed the Northern Wei Dynasty after that, and then after the Demon Sect got rid of my control, you kept tracking it here." Yuwen Lie already felt that Ni Yunshan was extraordinary, but at this time, he looked at Ni Yunshan with even more admiration.

Ni Yunshan nodded, "Following you is more valuable than following the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect is always there, so he doesn't have any secret."

"You have been following me secretly for so long, but I actually found your existence inadvertently until you came to this town." Yuwen Lie smiled bitterly, "This is really hard to imagine, because you not only concealed my perception, but also concealed the perception of the Demon Sect."

"I have always done a good job in this regard. No one in the entire Southern Border Army did better than me." Ni Yunshan glanced at him and said calmly. There was not much pride in her tone, because for her, this was the fact.

"Our Yuwen family has a unique method to hide the true energy breath and eliminate ourselves from the fluctuations of the heaven and earth's vitality. Therefore, for many years, as long as our Yuwen family does not want to be born, no one can discover our existence. Even if we are with some powerful practitioners, we can conceal our true energy cultivation very well."

Yuwen Lie was silent for a moment, and looked at Ni Yunshan and said seriously: "So I am really too conceited. I always thought that as long as the people of our Yuwen family were willing to hide in the world, no one could find us. But unexpectedly, you had discovered my whereabouts long ago."

Ni Yunshan's brows frowned a little deeper.

She and Yuwen Lie are naturally not friends. Logically speaking, if she was discovered by an enemy whose cultivation is far better than her, the situation was extremely bad. However, at this time, it was Yuwen Lie who gave her the feeling of being at a loss.

"Do you feel that the Demon Sect is coming?" She thought of a possibility.

"It's not the Demon Sect."

Yuwen Lie shook his head, "Of course I should be the person I want to find most, but he has found a lot of people before, but he has not found me. So our Yuwen family's method of hiding energy should be very useful to him."

"The past cannot determine the future, but I think you are sure of it, so you must have felt something else besides this inference based on your Yuwen family's method." Ni Yunshan said as she looked.

"What you said is indeed good."

Yuwen Lie sighed a little, "Last night, I felt a strange ray of energy. It seemed that a ray of external power fell on me like the ubiquitous moonlight, but it aroused a trace of abnormal movement of my true energy. This feeling was too subtle. Even if it were before, I might not care at all. At most, I felt a trace of inadvertent fluctuation of the true energy during my practice. But more than ten days ago, I had sensed such a ray of fluctuation of the same breath, and it was precisely because

Therefore, I was very careful to search for all the suspicious signs around me over the years, and even released some energy to explore it. Only then did I realize your existence. When the strange energy appeared again last night, I was prepared and I realized my own perception and understanding. I was sure that someone used some means to explore my existence. I was sure that there was a source similar to mine in that person's true energy, but my Yuwen family did not have such means, and the child in the Shen family would not have such means."

, I am sure that there is a source similar to mine in this person's true essence, but my Yuwen family does not have such means, and the children of the Shen family will not have such means."

Ni Yunshan has been tracking Yuwen Lie for a long time, so she didn't know anything about Shen Nian. Listening to these words, she asked naturally: "What do the children in the Shen family mean?"

"Shen Nian, Shen Yue's son, has been practicing overseas before. When you are the so-called descendants of Emperor You, a part of the true essence in your body will naturally be absorbed by him. But the Yuwen family and He family are not listed here."

Yuwen Lie looked at Ni Yunshan and suddenly became serious, and his voice was slightly cold: "I may have been used by someone, or we may have been used by someone."

Ni Yunshan also looked at him coldly, "In our opinion, you are the ones who control the chess game, and I don't understand what you mean."

"The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind."

Yuwen Lie took a deep breath and said slowly: "The most terrible thing is that we are doing things according to our own layout, but in fact, someone has already calculated us and the entire layout. It turns out that we are at most a mantis."

"I can't run, but you can."

Before Ni Yunshan spoke again, he had already quickly continued: "That person should not know that there is a person like you. You should go to the Tudi Temple immediately. There are things I want to give you in the Tudigong's belly. Many of your questions now should be answered. You must leave quickly, because in my opinion, this person may be more terrifying than the Demon Sect in some places."

Ni Yunshan didn't say anything nonsense at all.

She turned around and left.
