Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 794 Investigation
On this day, it's out as usual.

Xu Guangling no longer accompanied him, but only Tian Hao and Xu Tonghui.

"Please serve it well, be careful not to burn it!" Tian Hao handed a bowl of soup and two pancakes to another customer very skillfully, but when he handed them out, he was stunned.

This old man seems a little unusual?
But it was only for a moment, and then, one after another, customers flooded in like flowing water.

The old man with a temperament that was obviously different from the crowd around him was holding a bowl, and after walking a short distance, he ate like everyone else at the back of some stalls on this street.

Specifically, only drink and not eat.

The two pancakes were completely ignored by him, and he just drank the soup from the bowl.

Other customers are drinking slowly because it is hot.

He is also drinking slowly, but if someone observes carefully, he will find an indescribable strangeness.

At the first bite, he frowned a little.

With the second sip, a smile appeared on his face.

In the third mouthful, the smile turned into doubt.

After three sips, he stopped drinking, but put his gaze into the bowl, as if it was not a bowl, but a bottomless black pool.

Looking at it, his face gradually showed a pensive look.

After pondering for a while, he took a fourth sip, and this time, frowns, smiles and doubts appeared on his face almost mixed.

"So it is!"

"Strange!"

"No such thing, who would dispense medicine like this?"

"The scorching grass is used for no reason!"

He drank the soup slowly, and often waited for a long or short time after taking a sip before the old man continued to take another sip. speak once.

"The cook is an ordinary man."

"It's a cultivator who maintains the situation, and it's also a meridian. It's really strange."

"The ones who will set up a stall in this place must be casual cultivators. What kind of background is a casual cultivator who has reached the meridians? At this age, he is able to open the meridians, and he has a great future. How could he come here to do such idle and useless things?" thing?"

"Can't figure it out!"

"We still have to investigate carefully!"

After finishing the soup slowly, the old man casually handed the pancakes to a "food friend" not far away. Amid the little suspicion and overjoyed by that person, he handed back the bowl like other customers, and then left.

(Exception marker, first.)
Another day, a butler-like man with an arrogant expression and his head held high came to the stall.

With two followers leading the way, he came to the front from behind the crowded crowd, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Xu Tonghui.

Xu Tonghui moved his left hand and his right hand, as if he was waving his hands casually, but when he waved his hands casually, fast or slow, the crowd opposite him passively maintained order very well.

"This is a cultivator!"

"And... the level is not low!"

The butler-like man narrowed his eyes.

Then, he lowered his head, from looking up to looking up, and the haughty expression on his face also changed into a humble smile.

Without pushing any further, he lined up honestly, and together with his two followers, each ordered a soup cake.

(Exception marker, second.)
……

(Anomalous mark, three four five six seven...)
A lot of unusual customers came to patronize this stall, even though some aspects of awareness or knowledge were too lacking, Tian Hao gradually felt that something was wrong.

Then one day, on the way back to the yard after closing the stall, he asked Xu Tonghui: "Master Xu, there is a man today, how can I look at him, he looks like a monk?"

Xu Tonghui smiled.

You just found out?
I don't know how many times this is!

"Cultivators also eat and drink, so what's so strange." He said.

"I still feel a little strange." Tian Hao muttered, "Could it be..."

"Don't guess randomly, you'd better think about those dishes carefully!" Xu Tonghui said coldly.

This topic is thus discontinued.

In other places, the topic of this stall has been going on these days.

Of course, it's not the discussions in the streets and alleys. Regarding those, it started as early as the first day of the stall, and then only spread, and the discussions gradually decreased.

County Sheriff's Office.

Governor Xu Yishan came back from Dongshan.

The entourage reported to him about the stall.

Afterwards, upon receiving the news of his return, people from Zihua Pavilion and Pharmacist Hall also came.

Zihua Pavilion is regarded as the power of the imperial court, and it is also the largest sect in the Wei Kingdom. The one in Annan County City is just a small branch of Zihua Pavilion, but even so, the people sitting in the pavilion are also masters of enlightenment.

But enlightenment state is only a human stage.

Compared with Xu Yishan, who is a great success in human rank, he is far behind.

So whenever there is anything, the pavilion master will come to the door in person to show respect.

Of course, it's not just about respect. When a human-level monk is close to an earth-level monk, maybe a certain sentence of that earth-level monk can become a great guide.

If the Zihua Pavilion is the power of the imperial court, then the Pharmacist Hall is the power of the Annan County Sheriff's Mansion.

It has been more than 1000 years since the Pharmacist Hall started from scratch in Annan County. For more than 1000 years, it has always been in close relationship with the Sheriff's Office.

However, after so many years, the Pharmacist Hall is not full of people from the Sheriff's Mansion. Some big and small families and casual cultivators in Annan County have also infiltrated, from less to more, and gradually, "outsiders" even accounted for seven of them. As much as [-]%.

So in a sense, it is a comprehensive neutral force. Under normal circumstances, it does not need to stand in line. Even if it is a big storm that happens in Annan County, it usually does not affect it.

With some "transcendent" meaning.

Xu Yishan, the governor of the county, Ye Nanping, the head of the branch of the Zihua Pavilion, and Gan Congshi, the head of the Pharmacist Hall.

In the courtyard, the three sat behind a small table.

Several maids refilled the tea, then stepped back to one side and stood respectfully.

"The investigation is clear. A group of three people came to the county town about half a month ago. They now live in an alley near the east of the city. They rented a small courtyard and paid 60 taels of rent for half a year."

"One cultivator, two ordinary people."

"The cultivator's name is Xu Tonghui, around 45 years old, from Qingshui City."

Ye Nanping sipped his tea and talked slowly.

"Qingshui City?"

Hearing this, Xu Yishan asked a question.

Both Ye Nanping and Gan Congshi knew why he asked this question.

"Yes, Qingshui City." Ye Nanping said, "Qingshui City's loose cultivators, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the dealer."

"Did any casual cultivators from Qingshui City come to the county before?" Xu Yishan asked.

"About this point, I also asked someone to investigate. It may be due to the relatively long distance. There are really not many people coming here from there. In the past ten years, only about three casual cultivators came from Qingshui City. If the time is extended to 20 years, there will only be five."

Ye Nanping replied.

"Have you asked those five people?" Xu Yishan asked again.

"Only two of them are still in the county, and they both asked." Ye Nanping said, "It just so happens that one of them is in the Pharmacist Hall."

Hearing this, Gan Congshi, the master of the Pharmacist Hall, smiled slightly, and continued, "I didn't get any information, it's just a small casual cultivator in the Qi Condensation Realm."

"The other one is also just a casual cultivator in the Qi Condensation Realm, and only has two or three levels of Qi Condensation." Ye Nanping said, "I didn't get any information from these two, but it can't be used as a basis for judgment. .”

"That is to say, this Xu Tonghui may be a casual cultivator, or he may be an outpost of the dealer?"

After pondering for a while, Xu Yishan said.
