Chapter 442 The Sword of Truth

Jianghe City has its specialty peanut and shrimp cake. Take one bite and you will feel the crispy and mellow flavor of the peanuts, the saltiness of the shrimp, and the sweetness of the syrup. It is a people-friendly delicacy.

It was bought by the kilogram. Li Changxiao cut two kilograms, put them in his pocket, and ate while walking, giving a few pieces to the children passing by from time to time.

He walked from west to east, visiting prosperous towns along the way to look for clues about the Shark Clan.

After wandering around Jianghe City, going to Hemu Temple, a market, a restaurant, a clothing store, etc., Li Changxiao didn't stay long and got on a small boat to go eastward along a large river.

Any prosperous city must be a place with convenient transportation and accessible waterways, so Li Changxiao was not worried about missing anything by taking waterways.

The big boat is long and the scenery on both sides is quite good. The people who board this big boat are either high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen.

As soon as Li Changxiao's thoughts changed, he took the initiative to find a businessman and got close to him. He just shouted twice, but not only the businessman, but also other people ignored him.

He was also a little annoyed and said it with some sincerity. Only in this way will he gradually become real in the eyes of outsiders.

At this time, he has cultivated the path of truth and falsehood to a critical point. He often mixes the true with the false, and the false with the true, giving people a hazy feeling.

It's like a shallow dream, and I can't remember it after I wake up.

But if he interferes intentionally, he can act like a normal person. This move does not require any energy or physical effort. For him, it is just like telling the truth if he wants to tell the truth, and lying if he wants to tell a lie.

Just a thought.

The businessman was obviously startled. Such a big living person, a handsome young man, suddenly appeared next to him, but he didn't notice it at all.

Under Li Changxiao's exquisite pick-up skills, the two started chatting naturally.

Li Changxiao complimented her, praising her appearance, temperament, connotation and character. It's not just nonsense and hard praise, as that will only be counterproductive. The beauty of Li Changxiao is that he praises others at the same time, making people feel that he is sincere, and it is easy to mistake him for a confidant.

Mei Sanniang once complained about Li Changxiao's mouth, and that woman could withstand such coaxing. There were a few times when even Mei Sanniang was impressed and praised so much that if the cook hadn't poured a few basins of cold water on her, Mei Sanniang would have had a wrong understanding of herself.

But after she woke up, Mei Sanniang beat the cook.

Back to the topic, after Li Changxiao "coaxed" the businessman to find the northwest, he asked questions again, and the businessman naturally told him everything he knew.

In the end, he regarded Li Changxiao as his confidant and wanted to betroth his daughter to him.

The businessman told Li Changxiao that there were four richest cities in Dayu Kingdom, namely Qingrao City, Xishao City, Hongfang City, and Jinyu City.

Among them, Xishaocheng and Hongfang City are on this river, Qingrao City and Jinyu City are on another river.

After asking this question, Li Changxiao's target gradually became clear. There is a high probability that the Sharman clan and the girl Xiao Zhen are in one of these four cities.

He was not in a hurry and planned to visit the past one by one, step by step from near to far. The key is that he can't be in a hurry. When he found Mengze City, the tragedy had already occurred for several months.

These few months are enough for them to do a lot of things.

The boat traveled all the way eastward and stopped at West Shaocheng. Li Changxiao also got off the boat with the merchants. A breeze started blowing through the streets and alleys for miles around.

Use this method to find people.

In fact, it is much more convenient to use spiritual consciousness to find people, but in such a big city, there must be many monks hidden, and monks are generally very sensitive to spiritual consciousness.

He swept over like this. I'm afraid I don't know what undercurrent will arise, so it's most appropriate to use the breeze to extend my perception and search for it bit by bit.

In fact, Li Changxiao said that he was not in a hurry, but the progress was not slow. He always did what he needed to do while hanging out and having fun. While appreciating the customs and customs of Xishui City, he took a look around Xishui City.

Sometimes he had to sigh that when he had enough money, life would be so nourishing no matter where he went.

After staying in Xishui City for less than five days, Li Changxiao was sure that the Shark tribe and his party were not in the city, so he didn't delay, spent the one tael of silver, and boarded a large boat to leave.

Although Xishui City and Hongfang City are connected by a river, they need to pass through a mountain range and the waterway is winding. Weak people are prone to seasickness.

The two towns are so far apart that it would take two or three days just to travel by water.

at night.

Everyone on the boat had fallen asleep, except for Li Changxiao, who was sitting alone on the deck with his long sword standing upright by his side, his brows slightly furrowed and his eyes slightly narrowed.

Ever since he set foot on this river, he has always felt a sense of surveillance.

It seems that from beginning to end, there is a pair of eyes focused on himself.

He checked the people on the boat one by one. Half of them were mortals, half of them had longevity, and there were four monks. It was difficult to find out the specific cultivation levels.

In the evening, Li Changxiao went straight to the point and invited the four monks to sit at the same table. Instead of hiding it, he might as well talk directly.

Li Changxiao first asked them their names, then asked if they had any hatred, etc., and then started talking in detail. After some questioning, it became clear that no one had any grudges or grudges, and there was no secret surveillance.

At this point, Li Changxiao understood that the surveillance was aimed at him, and that something had been following him since he went to the river.

This feeling of being watched is very familiar. Li Changxiao had experienced it somewhere.

at this time.

It's late at night.

The boat drifted slowly, Li Changxiao slowly stood up, picked up the long sword beside him, and a ray of brilliance suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes. His spiritual consciousness burst out in an instant, covering the river within a radius of ten miles.

In this instant, at the bottom of the river, in the deep cave, a huge monster appeared in his mind.

It was another prehistoric beast.

It seemed that the huge monster would not sit and wait for death, and suddenly saw the turbulent river. The huge monster had opened its mouth and wanted to swallow the boat and the man in one gulp.

Li Changxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, drew out the Qingping sword, and placed it vertically on the river. The turbulent river surface was instantly suppressed by an inexplicable force and calmed down.

He let go of his hand, and the Qingping sword fell into the river. He saw that the huge monster in the deep bottom of the lake where the light could not reach was wailing silently.

The slow falling momentum of the Qingping Sword penetrated him bit by bit without any resistance. In the end, the body of the giant gradually became illusory and finally disappeared completely.

The Qingping Sword returned to its sheath, and everything seemed to have never happened. The whole process from beginning to end only caused the boat to bump a little.

That's all.

Li Changxiao drank a little wine. This move just now, called "Zhan Zhen", was not the first time he used it.

The last time he used it was in the Buddha City, where he used this sword to kill the evil-ridden Buddha Wuqing.

Now, with the perception of truth and falsehood, this move has become more and more perfect.

This prehistoric beast can be regarded as a small test.

Li Changxiao's eyes were sharp, and he carefully experienced the surveillance gaze.

That was not the gaze of a living being, or rather, it was not simply the gaze of a living being.

It seems that there are many obstacles in this line, not just dealing with the mermaids.
