Xuanxia

Chapter 193 This is how you play, right?

Fu Qingzhou rubbed his temple and stood up.

Delay will lead to unexpected events. Now that Li Qing’s identity has been confirmed, we can’t wait any longer.

As he stood up, he had already thought about how to explain the situation next, and how to get Li Qing and Zhao Hao to meet without being completely exposed...

But just when he took a few steps towards Li Qingshen, his pupils suddenly shrank.

He noticed that on the back of Li Qing’s collar where he had drawn a hidden symbol... there was a very small word.

It was a very, very small word, and its color and strokes were very consistent with the color and texture of the clothes.

If Fu Qingzhou hadn't known that there was a talisman he had drawn there and paid extra attention to it, he would not have noticed that there was a word there at all.

This word is...

Jiao.

Fu Qingzhou's heart trembled slightly, and he changed the direction of his steps that were originally heading towards Li Qing. He brushed past him directly, walked out of the disciple room, and pretended to go out for some fresh air.

"What's going on? Jiao? Could it be that Tang Jiao is here?"

He shouted in his mind, "Old man, you've been watching him all day, didn't you notice?"

"I can't pay attention to anything!" The smoker cursed, "That thing is just a voice transmission charm. Do you expect me to be omniscient and omnipotent?"

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and tilted his head slightly.

Looking inside from the window of the disciple's room, Li Qing was obviously a little tired and lay down on the bed.

"He would stare at the people coming out of the Fanyin Temple, notice the hidden talisman I drew, and quietly leave words on their bodies. And it is likely that only I would notice this word, and it is the word 'Jiao'..."

Fu Qingzhou smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid it really is Tang Jiao."

"That chick has also gone down the mountain?" The smoker got excited: "She probably didn't run into your friends, right? Otherwise, why would she be acting alone? That's not right. If she didn't run into you, how would she know you were in the Fanyin Temple?"

Fu Qingzhou shook his head...How would he know...

This is a troublesome matter...

What should we do if Tang Jiao doesn't understand and wants to sneak into the temple?
Although it seems that she would choose to leave a message quietly to remind herself, which shows that she is still cautious enough...but this cannot be confirmed.

"and many more."

At this moment, the smoker suddenly realized something: "That girl left more than just a word! There's something in the shoes of the guy surnamed Li!"

Fu Qingzhou glared: "In the shoes?"

"Yes!" The smoker laughed and said, "I didn't pay much attention to it just now, but there is a very faint smell on that word. This smell is incompatible with Li Qing. But it is not only on his collar, but also in his shoes!"

Fu Qingzhou scratched his head.

Did Tang Jiao hide something in Li Qing’s shoes?
How is this done?

And this aura...it's impossible for me to detect it. How can Tang Jiao be sure that I can find the things she left behind?

Could it be that she knows that there is an old thing on her body?

Fu Qingzhou scratched his head.

What has she learned in the past few months since she left Langhuan Mountain?

Now that he knew that Tang Jiao had hidden something in Li Qing's shoes, Fu Qingzhou was no longer in a hurry. He quietly went back to the room and lay down. He did not open his eyes again until the night deepened and snoring sounds were heard in the room.

Li Qing's shoes were placed on the ground with other people's shoes. He picked up the pair of shoes, touched them front and back, and sure enough, he felt a small bulge at the heel of one of the shoes.

Looking closely, the stitching there was a bit messy, as if it had been re-sewn once.

Fu Qingzhou's eyes widened.

Li Qing just went home and chatted with his sister for a while, right? How did Tang Jiao secretly leave words on his body, dig up his shoes to hide something, and then sew them back together?
Thinking of this, he quietly opened the heel of the straw sandal and took out... a small piece of jade and a small piece of paper.

Fu Qingzhou frowned, took the things to the window, spread out the note, and read the words clearly in the moonlight.

"Brother, it's me, Jiaojiao! I came down the mountain to find you!" "Put that piece of jade under your tongue, and I can talk to you!"

Fu Qingzhou's eyebrows jumped.

He looked at the jade piece the size of a fingernail in his hand, and then at Li Qing's shoes...

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
There is no need to guess now, this little girl must have learned bad things from Qingsongzi!

He sighed helplessly and quietly walked out of the house.

He wrote a fire talisman on the note and burned it to ashes. As for the jade piece... Fu Qingzhou found a place with water, washed it carefully several times, then sighed and put it in his mouth, pressing it under his tongue.

The moment he pressed it with the bottom of his tongue, a magical aura from the jade piece spread along the roots of his teeth, cheeks, and all the way to the bottom of his ears.

"Brother! Brother!"

The next second, Tang Jiao's voice came over as thin as a mosquito, full of surprise: "Did you hear it?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled helplessly and whispered, "I heard it, I heard it."

"Great!"

Tang Jiao breathed a sigh of relief: "You are amazing. You really can find what I left behind!"

Fu Qingzhou shook his head and asked, "What is going on? How did you know I was here?"

"My master told me..."

Tang Jiao responded first, then laughed and said, "Yes, I will take Master Qingsongzi as my master!"

Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes.

I was right.

You are so good, Qingsongzi. You didn’t show up when I was in the mountain for more than two years. Now that I have come down from the mountain, you go and take a little girl as your apprentice, right?
But now it makes sense. Qingsongzi has so many magic weapons in his hands that he could just give some to Tang Jiao. So it's not so strange or mysterious that she can do these things today.

"Brother, I'm doing something important."

Fu Qingzhou said helplessly: "It's very dangerous here. If you are not careful, something could happen. Why don't you go to Luoyi to find Hua Wuying from the Wulin League and ask him to take care of you. Wait until I get out..."

"Brother, I'm here to help you."

Tang Jiao giggled and interrupted him: "I know what you are doing. I have also contacted Mr. Zhao from Qianfang Baixiao Tower. He knows that I have this way to contact you and said that I am much more capable than you."

Fu Qingzhou: “…”

"Jiaojiao." He sighed, "You have learned bad things."

Tang Jiao: “Hmm?”

"It's okay. It's best to be able to get in touch."

Fu Qingzhou exhaled lightly: "Since you can directly pass on information to Zhao Hao, then I will tell you the information I have collected during this period... In addition, I also need Zhao Hao to give me some professional advice..."

"Hey, big brother, wait a minute..." There was a rustling sound from Tang Jiao's side, and her tone was a little embarrassed: "I just fell asleep, I'll get dressed and get some paper to write down..."

After a long while, she smiled and said, "Okay, big brother, you say it."

"Ah."

Fu Qingzhou whispered, "First of all, the person you used to secretly pass on the information today is called Li Qing. He has a blood feud with Fanyin Temple. I think he can be subdued, but it is best to use the intelligence network of Qianfang Baixiao Tower to check his information one last time."

"Also, I need to sneak into the Sutra Library and find a martial arts book called 'Blood Sea Kasaya Kung Fu'. The high-ranking officials of the Brahma Sound Temple all practice this martial arts. If I can find out the weakness of this martial arts..."

He earnestly and carefully shared all the information, speculations, and ideas he had collected.

On the other side, Tang Jiao said nothing, and there was only the sound of the brush quickly falling on the paper.

Just like when they once sat opposite each other under the lamp on Mount Langhuan, copying books in silence.
