Shen Luo had already asked Guan Feng. Changping Square was located in the southwest corner of Chang 'an City. It was very far from Xuande Gate and would take a long time to get there.
He looked at the shops along the street, looking for shops that sold Immortal Cultivation items.
After a while, the carriage had already passed several streets. All he saw were mortals. There were no cultivators. The goods in the nearby shops were also for mortals. There was nothing related to Immortal Cultivation.
"Guan Feng, it is said that Chang 'an City is a holy land for immortal cultivators and that there are many cultivators. Why is it that after looking around for a long time, I don't see any cultivators? Are the shops on both sides also selling mortal goods?" Shen Luo asked.
"Immortal Master, although Chang 'an City is called the Holy Land of Immortal Cultivation, there are differences between mortals and immortals. The imperial court does not want cultivators to have too much contact with the common people. Therefore, the western market of Chang' an City has been separated for your activities. If you need something, you can go there. You can't buy it anywhere else," Guan Feng said.
"I see." Shen Luo nodded and did not say anything more.
The carriage rolled forward. After more than an hour, it stopped outside a remote alley.
"Immortal Master, we have arrived at Iron Hat Alley," Guan Feng said.
Shen Luo looked forward and was slightly stunned.
There were very few people in the square. The road was also rarely cleaned. The ground was covered with fallen leaves. It was very different from the other bustling places in Chang 'an City.
The doors of the houses in the square were basically locked. It was so quiet that almost no noise could be heard.
"Guan Feng, didn't you say that you are very familiar with Chang 'an City and know this place well? Why is this place so deserted? "Shen Luo did not go in immediately and asked.
"Immortal Master, this place is very remote. I have not been here much," Guan Feng said.
Shen Luo did not care and walked in.
Changping Square was not small. He was thinking about how to find Xie Yuxin.
An old man wearing a bamboo hat walked towards him. Shen Luo had an idea and went to ask about Xie Yuxin.
However, Shen Luo did not directly say Xie Yuxin's name. He only described her appearance.
Xie Yuxin had stolen the secret arts of the Bai family when he was in the Bai family. He was probably still wanted by the authorities. Although they were in Chang 'an, they still had to be careful.
"Miss Xie? Most of the people who live in Changping Square are rough and burly men. I've never seen any girls. "The old man thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Is that so? Sorry to disturb you." Shen Luo nodded and thanked him. Then, he continued to walk into the shop.
He asked a few people, and all of them said that they had heard of a young lady with the surname Xie.
Shen Luo walked all the way to the deepest part of the square district. There was a simple shack here, but it was actually a simple blacksmith's shop. A short and stout middle-aged man was swinging a hammer, striking a piece of red-hot iron embryo.
"Uncle, please." Shen Luo stepped forward and greeted him.
"Young Master, what can I do for you?" The short and stout man stopped what he was doing.
"I'm looking for a young lady with the surname Xie. She's about 20 years old. She's quite beautiful. Do you know such a person?" Shen Luo asked.
"A young lady with the surname Xie? I've never heard of this person. "The short and stout man's eyes flashed with a hint of undetectable strangeness. He shook his head and said.
"Is that so? Sorry to disturb you." Shen Luo nodded and turned to walk away. However, he frowned.
Xie Yuxin had asked him to come here to look for her in a very casual tone. It shouldn't be too difficult to find her.
"Immortal Master Shen, you still haven't found her?" Guan Feng walked over and asked.
Shen Luo did not want to say more. He turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, your surname is Shen? What's your name? "The short and stout man suddenly stopped Shen Luo.
"I'm Shen Luo." Shen Luo stopped and turned around.
"Which village?" The short and stout man continued to ask.
"Cao Luo Zhi Luo. Why do you ask?" Shen Luo's eyebrows twitched.
"Since you're Shen Luo, follow me." The short and stout man put down the iron hammer in his hand and turned to walk into the depths of the shack.
Shen Luo looked at the man's back and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was about to follow him.
"Be careful, Immortal Master. On the surface, Chang 'an City looks like a prosperous city. However, there are a lot of bad people. Murdering people for money happens from time to time. You have to be careful." Guan Feng quietly pulled Shen Luo and said in a low voice.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Just wait for me outside." Shen Luo had a good impression of Guan Feng. He smiled and said softly.
Guan Feng saw this and did not say anything else.
Shen Luo followed the short and stout man into the yard and came to a corner.
The short and stout man pressed a few bricks in the corner. Suddenly, the wall caved in. After a few breaths, a door passage was revealed.
Shen Luo looked up and saw a very narrow alley. It meandered forward and led to an unknown place.
The short and stout man waved at Shen Luo and walked in.
Shen Luo followed behind. He was secretly vigilant. He silently used the Nameless Art to detect the movements around.
The two walked along the alley for a while and soon came to a small yard.
"Young Master Shen, wait here for a moment." The short and stout man said and walked in.
Shen Luochao looked around. The environment here was rather quiet and secluded, surrounded by woods. Birds chirped and insects chirped incessantly. It was as if he was not in the bustling city of Chang 'an, but in a deep mountain valley.
After a while, the short and stout man walked out.
"Young Master Shen, please come in," he said to Shen Luo. Then, he turned around and walked back the way he came.
Shen Luo glanced at the strange man. He ignored him and walked into the yard.
The yard was not big. There were only three or four two-story houses. There was a road paved with bluestones in the middle of the yard. Some bamboos and flowers were planted on both sides of the yard. It added to the quiet feeling.
"Shen Daoyou, I didn't expect you to come so soon." A white figure came out of a room. It was Xie Yuxin.
"Fellow Xie, you are here. It is not easy to see you." Shen Luo said with a bitter smile.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Shen to arrive so quickly. Moreover, I've been cultivating in seclusion for the past few days. I've asked Zhou Tie to guard the place carefully. He's also very careful in his work. I'm sorry for making Fellow Daoist Shen go through so much trouble." Xie Yuxin apologized while welcoming Shen Luo into the house.
"Haha, I was just joking. The big brother outside is very careful. I only admire him. How can I have other intentions?" Shen Luo waved his hand and laughed.
"It is good that Shen Daoyou doesn't blame me. When did you come to Chang 'an?" Xie Yuxin asked.
"I arrived in Chang 'an City half a day ago. I came here directly. Did Fellow Xie find any clues about the spiritual fire?" Shen Luo looked at Xie Yuxin with bright eyes. He was most concerned about this matter.
"I asked around. The spiritual fire may appear in this year's Carnival. But I don't know what grade it is. No matter what kind of spiritual fire it is, it will not be cheap. "Xie Yuxin reminded.
"Fellow Xie, you are familiar with Chang 'an City. Is there a good talisman shop here?" Shen Luo nodded thoughtfully and asked.
