Ding Lunian sat in the grass pavilion and breathed quietly.

The body slumped together, and the movements seemed to have a fixed rhythm. In such a rhythm, the thoughts slowly extended to the distance, and the surrounding scenery appeared in front of you as three-dimensionally, turning into a small world to support yourself in cultivating your mind and nature. This is a mysterious state. Ordinary people can do it, but they need to be highly concentrated and cannot be as relaxed as Taoists.

This is his compulsory homework every day. The reason why he is in the open-air grass pavilion is not that he wants to practice in the world, but that he has a task... observing people.

To be precise, it is a spy. As far as Ding Lunian knows, it is actually similar to the spies sent by various families.

However, few people guess his identity.

Now he is an evolutionary Taoist, but in the past, he had no sect and was simply called a Taoist, not a real person. A casual cultivator who had no fame naturally would not exist in a certain Taoist temple. This is the area where he often appears. Later, he simply settled down here. Speaking of which, the scenery and terrain here are good, which is very suitable for him.

In order to accept the love, he was also in response to the request of his fellow teachers in Kuaiji County. When practicing every day, he helped them stare at people... A group of people were regarded as Zhang's people. Because one of them often came in and out was a child of Zhang's family in Wu County, named Zhang Lu. I heard that he was incompatible with his family, so he simply moved out and lived in a nearby house near the river.

At a fixed time every day, Ding Lunian would see Zhang Lu's frame passing by the grass pavilion. Occasionally, he would see people from his family coming out and walking around, but seemed to be worried about something and dare not go far... Especially recently, what made him a little worried was that the family seemed to have found that they were monitoring them, so they had not appeared for several days.

The last time he appeared was the day before yesterday. Ding Lunian remembered it very clearly because he was a delicate woman who was traveling, and it seemed that she should be Zhang Lu's concubine. He walked around here for a while. By chance, he could still see a woman secretly observing him. Until the last moment he looked over, the woman also looked over.

The eyes were staring at each other in the air.

Contact is full of fear and concern.

However, the woman quickly withdrew her gaze and ran away from afar... Ding Lunian felt that she was exposed and hesitated whether to continue, but there was no movement in the next two days, and Zhang Lu did not show any abnormalities to him. The woman would still come out carefully, so he felt relieved and continued to monitor. After all, the colleagues in Kuaiji County might have benefited him. A young man named Hei Qier planned to invite him to practice in the newly built Taoist temple, and he would not be considered a casual cultivator in the future.

Just need to spend this time...

It was afternoon now, and Ding Lunian took a moment of breathing, then stretched.

Zhang Lu seemed to be drunk yesterday. I remember that when I was walking this road, I pulled the curtain to vomit. Now the vomit has been buried in the soil, so it will not be disgusting.

"Don't he come out today?" Ding Lunian said casually, and planned to stand up and walk towards home.

His home is not big, it is just a thatched cottage, which is quite close to it. According to his observation, Zhang Lu rarely goes out in the afternoon, so he will not miss anything even if he goes home at this time.

The sun is shining and the white clouds are lingering.

Ding Lunian walked slowly, breathing the air around him, and looking at the slightly desolate beautiful scenery, it was quite comfortable.

The simple thatched hut was right in front of him. Because it was too simple, there was nothing inside worth visiting by the thieves, so he simply didn't even go to the chain.

He pushed open the door and was stunned.

He stood there, but soon, he shouted in surprise: "Why...why are you?"

...

The car drove slowly on the official road, leading from Qixia Mountain to the official road in Kuaiji.

Now in Wujun.

There were two ox carts in total, one of He's and one of Wang Ning's. It's not easy to ride together now, but it's good that Wang Ningzhi happened to do something here, so on the way, the two ox carts separated, and the one of He's took the lead in going home.

"Are you coming soon?" Wang Ningzhi asked.

"It's almost done. I've seen the river. Go along the river." said Fengshou, who was driving in front.

Wang Ningzhi no longer asked, but lifted the curtain and looked outside. It was an unknown river. It was said to be a river, but not big. It was more suitable to call it a stream. According to the place Hei Qier told him, it should be here. The scenery is pretty good, the population is relatively sparse, and there is only one small village.

He was looking at the scenery in a daze, and the harvest driving in front suddenly said, "Erlang, we are here."

In the distance, there is a house near the stream in sight. It seems to be a little old, at least inclined to be simple. This should be Zhang Lu's house, the so-called place where the remaining Zhou family lives - Wang Ningzhi thought so.

However, the car did not go to the old house, but turned a corner and turned away from the stream. After a while, the harvest was called "Xu..." and the ox cart stopped slowly.

Wang Ningzhi got out of the car and followed the guard's instructions to see a thatched hut in front, which was quite remote. Although there was a small village next to it, it was a little difficult to notice because there were tall trees around it, and the small thatched hut was hidden in it.

"I didn't see anyone on the road just now, probably at home." Fengshou said this, walking in front of Wang Ning, seeing that the door of the hut was not locked, he pushed the door in, but soon turned around and walked out, spreading his hands at Wang Ningzhi who was approaching, "No one inside."

"No one?" Wang Ningzhi was stunned. He remembered that the Taoist who Hei Qier said was very attentive and rarely went out. Could it be that he was so unlucky today that he happened to meet a Taoist going out?

Although he was puzzled, he still walked in and looked at it. It was empty and there were very few things. No wonder he had to lock the door.

His eyes swam, and seeing nothing was noticed, he turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly his eyes remained on the ground.

"Go away, you all go away." He said this, and after confirming that there was a good harvest and his footprints, he looked at the footprints in the room.

It is big and small, messy, and there are violent frictions in some places.

The eyes followed the footprints, and the door was even more messy, and there was a large amount of friction, as if someone was dragging something here, or...these footprints disappeared not far away.

"What's wrong with Erlang, what's wrong?" Fengshou asked from the side.

Wang Ningzhi looked at the old house by the stream with deep eyes and said, "What might have happened to that Taoist."

"What happened?" Fengshou quickly reacted and looked at the old house, "Is it... the person there?"

"It's very likely." In response, Wang Ningzhi walked towards the ox cart, "Don't delay, go quickly, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time."
