Chapter 2012

A street that stretches for hundreds of miles, from south to north, is full of shops and stalls.

The sky is always gray, and most of the buildings on the street are dark in tone. The monks who come and go look strange, and most of them have a sinister temperament.

Gu Chen and the Great Prophet appeared at the corner of this street, both wearing masks, walking along the flow of people, no one paid much attention to them.

"If the old man's guess is correct, this is Youyou Street, right?"

Looking at the bustling street scene of Fangshi, the Great Prophet said.

"The Great Prophet really has good eyesight." Gu Chen did not deny it.

"Youyou Street is the largest Shenyoufang city in the dark world. It is said that there are countless illegal transactions here every day, and the rules of the Nine Great Courts are useless here."

"It is said that it is very difficult to get the fugue beads that enter here. In the entire Dao Realm, every time there is a fugue bead leading to Youyou Street on the black market, it will be scrambled immediately. The two fugue beads we use are worth Is it worth two cities?"

The Great Prophet guessed, his eyes wandering over the stalls on both sides of the street.

There are all kinds of things sold on these stalls, including rare birds and animals, as well as natural and earthly treasures, most of which are stolen by tyrants and hidden treasures.

Of course, the treasures you see are just illusions. If you really intend to buy them, you must negotiate with the stall owner and use other methods to trade in reality.

"These two divine travel beads belong to the Eight-Different Saints."

"The Baqi sage has been in Youyou Street for a long time, and he is a frequent visitor here. He met Sangyan here, and the two parties made a deal. He helped Qiankun to transport Kanshui ghost lotus from the territory of Yueguo, and Sangyan gave He pays."

Gu Chen explained that the Great Prophet didn't have any unexpected expression when he heard the words, and he stroked his beard and said, "If the old man's guess is correct, with the style of Qiankunhui doing things, the Eight-Different Saint must not know that he is dealing with Qiankunhui, right?"

"That's right, the Eight-Different Sage doesn't know much about his trading partner, nor is he interested in it. It's pure luck to be able to dig up his clue."

"In this case, how can you continue to investigate with only these two magic beads?"

"According to Ye Wunian, the Qiankun Society has been conducting a large number of shady transactions for a long time through Sang Yan's identity as a middleman in the dark world."

"There was nowhere to search for the source of these transactions before, but now that I think about it, all transactions were born in this Youyou world."

"Since Qiankun will conduct transactions through here, and the scale is not small, there will inevitably be some clues left. It is not difficult for us to find a breakthrough."

Gu Chen truthfully expressed his thoughts.

"It's easy to say, anyone in the Immortal World can pretend to be at will, not to mention that the Immortal Beads in Youyou Street do not limit the objects, which makes dragons and snakes mixed here."

"As long as the Qiankun Society has the heart, it is not difficult to hide their identity. Besides, after the Yue Kingdom incident, the clue of Kanshui Ghost Lotus may have been completely cut off by them."

The Great Prophet shook his head. Although Youyou Street has high barriers to entry, the number of monks here has grown to a vast number in the long years of development.

In addition, the monks here may come from various mountains and seas in the Hongmeng Dao Realm. Due to geographical restrictions, it is more difficult to investigate from them.

There may be hundreds of thousands of transactions in Youyou Street every day. According to Gu Chen's thinking, how much time and energy would it take?

"That's why I invited you, Great Prophet, to come here. I want to know how far you, Great Prophet, have investigated the Qiankun Society before?"

The corner of Gu Chen's mouth curled up. Anyway, the Great Prophet had been tricked in, so there was no need to hide his true intentions.

This old guy had found Qiankunhui's refinery in Yueguo one step ahead of himself, and the transfer process of the Kanshui Ghost Lotus was under his control.

Although they reached a consensus with Zuo Chunqiu after that, Gu Chen didn't think that the Great Prophet would give up his investigation.

This can be seen from the fact that he gave the ghost lotus to himself. This old guy obviously thinks the same as himself, but he always likes to hide it.

"This old man doesn't know as much as you think."

The Great Prophet shook his head and said solemnly, "There is only one name, do you want it?"

"Say."

"Wan Fu!"

"What's so special about this person?" Gu Chen frowned slightly.

"The old man did track down the whereabouts of the Kanshui ghost lotus before, but the prudence of Qiankunhui is also different from ordinary people."

"The batch of Kanshui ghost lotus was not transferred to the final destination, but was destroyed by the Qiankun Society on the way."

"The old man only had time to steal a ghost lotus before destroying it, and it was the one given to you."

"As for the name Wanfu, it was mentioned by chance by the monk of the Qiankun Society who was in charge of the transportation before he was ordered to destroy it. This person seems to play a rather important role in the transaction chain of the Qiankun Society."

The Great Prophet told the whole story, and Gu Chen fell into deep thought when he heard the words.

"Having this name is enough. You may be able to find information about this person in Youyou Street, which is much better than finding a needle in a haystack."

After recovering, Gu Chen nodded.

"How do you plan to investigate?" the Great Prophet asked curiously.

Gu Chen smiled without saying a word, quickened his pace, and soon led the Great Prophet outside a shop.

On the plaque at the entrance of the store was written the three characters "Bai Xiao Zhai", and Gu Chen stepped into it.

The interior decoration of the store is very simple, except for an old man of different races sitting on a futon, there are only three rows of bookshelves, large and small.

"How? Has the goods I want arrived?"

Gu Chen looked at the old man and asked, obviously not the first time he came here.

The old man glanced at him, then got up, walked to the bookshelf at the back, searched for a while, then took a jade slip from it, came to Gu Chen, and handed it to him.

"It's been a long time since the goods arrived, and you haven't come to collect them all the time, thinking you didn't want them anymore."

The old man said, his expression was very cold, and he didn't have any enthusiasm for receiving guests.

Gu Chen opened the jade slip in his hand, and the jade slip instantly turned into a beam of soul light, which poured into his mind.

Everything in the Immortal Travel Realm is illusory, this jade slip records information, and here is a shop specializing in selling information.

With his eyes closed, he silently digested the information in his mind. When Gu Chen opened his eyes again, his face was full of thoughts.

"Very good, the content is very detailed, I am very satisfied."

"I have another name here, and I would like to ask you to help me investigate again."

Gu Chen said to the old man of the foreign race.

"Yes, the remuneration is settled according to the old rules. Once we receive Dao Jing, we will start to help you investigate. What's your name?"

The old man from Baixiaozhai said expressionlessly.

"Wan Fu." Gu Chen replied.

The old man nodded, taking it down.

Then Gu Chen left Baixiaozhai, stroked his beard with the Great Prophet who witnessed the passing by, and asked, "Is this store reliable?"
