Vol 3 Chapter 279: Missing people

Chapter 279 Looking for People
Passing by that may be the most majestic and tallest city wall in the Hongmeng realms, the familiar scenes in memory are revealed again, the bustling city's noisy streets, crowded, and a burst of vigor seems to be blowing.
The white fox seemed very nervous. Compared with the largest and most prosperous city in the world, the snow city it had seen at the beginning was like a secluded rural village, and the two were not on the same level. The wide and flat streets are criss-crossed, and it seems that there are people walking everywhere. From time to time, if you are not careful, someone will touch its body.
There are also many curious eyes who saw this white fox, which is white and white, but no one showed any special meaning. In this Tianhongcheng, there are all rare treasures from all over the world. There are no novels or anything, even if it is a rare and exotic animal. There are too many to go, the white fox is a rare ordinary beast, and in the lively streets of Hongcheng this day, even if it is a fierce monk who has caught a high-level beast as a pet, it is not uncommon.
In short, although the white fox was nervous and even a little scared, after walking with Shen Shi for a while, he found that although the number of human races in this magnificent city is unimaginable, it seems that no one really has any bad intentions against him. Most people ignored it. As a result, Bai Fox slowly relaxed, followed Shen Shi along the streets and alleys of Tianhong City, slowly getting used to it, and began to look at the city curiously.
Shen Shi wandered around, looking as if there was no clear goal, some seemed to be wandering in the street, but when he walked somewhere in the middle of a street alley, his body stopped for a while, and he went into the alley. Looked in.
This alley does not seem surprising, but Shen Shi knows that as long as he walks along here, he will finally find a place hidden deep in the alley selling good wine. In the past, he also counted I've been here this time, bought some fine wine, and honored Master when I returned to Jinhong Mountain.
He watched quietly for a while, but finally did not walk into this alley, turned slightly, and continued to walk forward.
Tianhong City is known as the eternal capital of the ancients. It is the place where the world’s vitality gathers. It has been prosperous for many years. Today’s world is also where the world’s businessmen gather, especially the Shenxianhui, which is now known as the Hongmeng First Chamber of Commerce. Here.
Shen Shi has always been very interested in the huge chamber of commerce, the Fairy Society, but even if it only reveals a little bit of strength, the power of this Fairy Society is far stronger than he had imagined in the past. Fortunately, Shen Shi had no intention of being an enemy of the Immortal Association. On the contrary, he and the Chamber of Commerce still had some unsettled cause and effect.
His only and last relative in this world, his father Shen Tai, may have fallen on Shenxianhui's whereabouts after many years of disappearance.
He walked all the way to the Shenxianhui, entered the entrance of the shop, took a glance at the noisy and hot scene here, then walked aside and found someone who seemed to be in charge and made his request to him.
※※※
The steward took Shen Shi to a quieter room on the side of the shop, asked him to sit down and serve tea, and then hurried away. After a while, the steward walked back quickly, with a few words on his face. I apologize and smile apologetically to Shen Shi:
"This son, I have already asked about it. The shopkeeper Gu Lingyun is still in charge of the Liuyun City branch in Haizhou, not in Tianhong City."
Shen Shi nodded, but he didn't look too disappointed. He had expected this result before he came. If there were no changes in his position, Gu Lingyun should indeed stay in Floating Cloud City.
The steward smiled and said enthusiastically, "Master Shen, if you are looking for her in an urgent matter, I think it would be better to bother you to visit Floating Cloud City yourself."
Shen Shi was silent for a moment and nodded, but he didn't intend to go back. Haizhou is the lair of Lingxiaozong, and there are so many eyes and ears under Lingxiaozong in Floating Cloud City. Going back there by yourself, it is hard not to be discovered by the sect. And he, at this moment, hasn't figured out how to face the old people in the sect.
Shen Shi stood up and said to the steward: "Thank you, sir, so, I still have some chores with me recently, and I can't go to Floating Cloud City for the time being. Here is a letter, please send it to treasurer Gu. After she saw it, she naturally understood."
With that said, he took out a sealed letter from his arms and put it on the table, along with a few spirit crystals. After smiling at the steward, he left the house. The white fox, who had been following at his feet, hurriedly followed. Behind him, the steward took a deep look at Shen Shi's back, and after pondering thoughtfully for a moment, he didn't look at the sparkling crystals. , Just picked up the letter on the table, turned and left without saying a word.
After leaving the hall of the Immortals, Shen Shi took the white fox and walked back to the streets of Tianhong City. However, this time he did not intend to continue wandering, but walked straight along a path. After almost half an hour, he led Walking with the white fox to the foot of the Qinglong Mountain in Tianhong City.
Looking up, this mountain that once carried the supreme glory of the Heavenly Demon King’s Court is still tall and majestic. It’s just that the palaces and pavilions of that year have long been turned into ruined walls, and they have become the habitat of monsters and ghosts. The magical formations arranged by the Six Saints of Human Race back then were strictly forbidden on this mountain.
"Let's go." Shen Shi patted the head of the white fox and said, "Let's go up."
※※※
Just like when I came here a few days ago, the Qinglong Mountain Range is far more deserted than the lively street markets below the mountain. After all, there are many monsters, monsters, and broken walls instead of merchants. All the way up the mountain, the noisy voices quickly disappeared. , Replaced by the gradually becoming secluded mountains and the crisp sound of birdsong from time to time.
Arrived here, the white fox suddenly became a lot more comfortable. Although there are a lot of green grass and trees on Qinglong Mountain, which is different from the year-round wind and snow environment of its hometown, the extreme north snowfield, it is still a wild atmosphere, with few traces of people. The white fox couldn't help running quickly.
It didn't take long for Shen Shi to see the Demon Column.
Taking a look at the peculiar patterns on the Demon Pillar, Shen Shi felt a little sigh in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh. When he left the demon clan underground palace, he actually thought that he might not be able to do it again in a lifetime. He came back, but only a few months later, he returned here by himself.
After shaking his head slightly, Shen Shi took a deep breath and stepped across the town demon pillar.
The mountain behind the town demon pillar is considered to be an officially dangerous area. Many monks who covet the treasures of the legendary Demon Clan’s underground palace often come to this mountain to explore the treasure. But Shen Shi came here this time, of course it didn't mean that. He took the white fox and did not go to the site of the ruins of the palace ruins most frequently visited by ordinary people in Qianshan, but made a circle and walked towards the back mountain of Qinglong Mountain.
I don't know when, but there is a round bone fragment in his hand, gently turning and rubbing.
