The next morning.
Xu Nian, Zhang Qishan, and the adjutant met up outside Changsha City.
"Lord Zeng, do you think Lord Ba will come?”
the adjutant asked softly.
Zhang Qishan nodded and did not say anything.
He turned to Xu Nian and said in a deep voice,""I'm afraid that the place we're going to will be dangerous. When the time comes, I hope that Master Xu can help!”
"Naturally."
Xu Nian nodded and yawned.
At this moment, a bell rang. Xu Nian looked at it and found it funny.
Qi Tiezui was dressed in a large coat, scarf, and a pair of black glasses. He was holding a small donkey behind him with a bell hanging from its neck. He was dressed like a standard fortune-teller.
There's nothing wrong with your bell."
Xu Nian smiled.
Zhang Qishan couldn't help but facepalm. Seeing this, Qi Tiexui smiled and said,"Hey! Since I said that I'm going to disguise myself, I'm definitely going to keep a low profile!”
"Look at the three of you. Although you're wearing casual clothes, you don't look like ordinary people…"
"Forget it, forget it. It doesn't matter."
Xu Nian waved his hand.
Zhang Qishan didn't mind. He looked at the extended railway and said,""Then let's set off in the direction of the railway. Master Xu, what do you think?”
"The route is fine."
Seeing Xu Nian nod his head in affirmation, the few of them rode their horses forward.
Considering the slow speed of Qi Tiezui's donkey, the four of them couldn't pick up their speed and walked for a few hours.
"Qinguan Town?"
Qi Tie wiped his glasses and said.
At a glance, the town was desolate and overgrown with weeds. It was obvious that there were a few old houses that had been in disrepair for a long time.
Xu Nian handed the reins to the adjutant and said in a deep voice,""The town is desolate and lifeless, like a ghost town.”
" We're going on foot. Be careful!"
Zhang Qishan nodded and said in a deep voice.
The few of them walked for a distance and found all kinds of old objects and broken stone carvings lying on the roadside.
The old houses that had not been repaired for many years had obviously collapsed. All the signs indicated that the town was empty!
At this moment, a woman's figure flashed past in front of them. She seemed to be in a hurry.
"You go!"
Zhang Qishan looked at the adjutant and gestured for him to come forward and ask questions.
Qi Tie, who was standing at the side, frowned. He shook his sleeves and was about to calculate, but Xu Nian pressed his arm down.
"Fortune tellers are all fortune-tellers. Aren't they afraid of losing their descendants if they keep doing this?”
"That can't be! According to Master Xu, the Qi family would have been cut off long ago.”
Qi Tie smiled, a hint of craftiness in his eyes.
Since ancient times, the methods of divining heavenly secrets would damage one's fate and inevitably reduce one's lifespan.
Therefore, the eighth of the Nine Old Factions, the Qi Clan, would often do good deeds to accumulate merit to resist the heavenly retribution.
"This town is a little strange…"
Zhang Qishan frowned and looked at Xu Nian, saying,""Too quiet!"
At this moment, the adjutant finished his question and quickly walked back to the three of them.
"According to that woman, there were a few mining accidents here. The people in the town couldn't make a living and fled one after another.”
" Moreover, after a few mining accidents, he left…"
The adjutant said in a deep voice, his face full of doubt.
Zhang Qishan looked at Qi Tiezui and sneered,"It's related to Pi himself again. It seems that we might have to stay here today.”
"Stop fooling around, Lord Zeng. In this godforsaken place, do we have a place to sleep?”
Qi Tie mumbled.
The other three didn't care about Qi Tiekui's gloominess and took their equipment and circled around the town.
The result did not exceed Xu Nian's prediction.
This small town was as quiet as a ghost's domain. It was so desolate that it was a little scary. Those who did not know better would think that there was a large-scale plague here.
The sky darkened and the moon rose into the sky.
"It shouldn't be the plague, but it should have something to do with the demon who appeared here!”
Zhang Qishan said in a deep voice.
"I can't take it anymore. Eighth Brother is starving!”
With a bitter face, Qi Tie looked at Xu Nian and Zhang Qishan and said, Lord Zeng, Lord Xu, my body can't compare to the two of you. If I continue walking like this, I'm afraid…"
"Sigh! There's someone cooking here!"
The four of them walked to a courtyard. Qi Tie had sharp eyes and saw a bonfire in the courtyard. The fragrance of the food in the pot was overflowing, and it was very tempting.
Qi Tie carried his coat and ran out. Zhang Qishan was too slow and was about to say something.
Xu Nian pressed down on his arm and made a shushing gesture.
Seeing Zhang Qishan's confusion, Xu Nian smiled and said with certainty,"There's something wrong with the people inside. If we ask around, we might be able to find the location of the mine!”
