After hearing this, Mrs. Gu quickly asked the two of them to go together. However, before the two brothers left, they instructed Gu Jin to keep an eye on Gu Dao.

As the elder brother, Gu Mingchang felt a little awkward when he heard it. However, since his mother had said it, it was not convenient for him to refute her.

Seeing that Gu Jin had agreed, Gu Tangshi was relieved and let the two of them go.

The two brothers each carried a lantern, but Gu Jin did not walk out of the village. Instead, he brought his brother straight to Gu Qian's eldest brother's house.

Along the way, they met many familiar faces. They either went out of the village to help look for Xuan 'er after resting, or they had just returned from the village empty-handed.

"Brother, look at the relatives and tenants coming and going in the village. If Brother Xuan was still in the village, he would have found him long ago."

Since he remembered that Gu Xuan was a distant cousin of his predecessor, Gu Dao was also concerned. Seeing that his brother was still wandering around the village, he asked in confusion.

Gu Jin smiled when he heard this."My silly brother. If you want to find someone, you have to go to Brother Qian's house to ask." Otherwise, we're not far from the official road. It leads to the Golden Peace Prefecture in the east and Chuzhou City in the west. We're connected by land and water. Where are you going to look?"

Although he said so, he did not ask much when he arrived at Gu Qian's residence. He only reported their names to a manager before pulling Gu Dao out in a hurry.

Gu Mingchang was puzzled."Brother Jin, why didn't you ask in detail?"

Gu Jin sighed."Didn't you hear what the butler said? Xuan 'er sneaked out with a few children. Actually, I also asked a child who was in the same trade earlier. He was too young to explain."

"Then..." Gu Dao was just about to ask why he had to make this extra trip when he saw Gu Jin looking at him with an intriguing expression. He immediately understood and immediately suppressed the topic.

It was true that he was looking for a child, but he had to let Gu Qian know the relationship between brothers.

It couldn't be said that Gu Jin's thoughts were impure. After all, the fact that he thought of her meant that he really cared about her and her son.

"Where should we go now?" He thought through the details and changed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Let's go along the path to the main road of Jinning. In the afternoon, the blacksmith told me that they wanted to sneak to Jinning to go to the market. They were tired and wanted to go back home. At that time, Brother Jiexuan disappeared."

"In other words, Xuan 'er went astray with his companions on the small path?" Gu Dao's heart skipped a beat as he thought back to his experience in the afternoon. He could not help but feel a chill run down his spine."Is Xuan 'er among those children?"

He didn't want to take a closer look at that time, so he couldn't tell if the dozen or so "people" were all not humans from afar.

Gu Jin didn't know that he was talking about the old farmers who were playing with their children in the afternoon. He even thought that he suspected that the blacksmith's child was lying."What do you mean by 'is it among those children'? How can it be fake?" Because of this, that blacksmith boy was beaten up by his father."

Gu Dao sighed."Brother, we can't do anything about this. Let's search the village road. If we can't find it…"

He was quick-witted and felt that the atmosphere was a little off. However, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity."What if you can't find it?"

A gust of wind blew past, and the lanterns that the two of them were carrying swayed in the wind. Even the light that shone on Gu Dao's face flickered with the swaying of the lanterns."We have to let Brother Qian prepare for two things. Other than sending people around to inquire, we have to ask if there are any teachers who don't teach in the surrounding villages."

Gu Jin was both shocked and suspicious. He did not know why his elder brother would suddenly say such a thing.

This brother of his had gone crazy a while ago, and it was strange. He was clear-headed, but suddenly, it was as if he had changed into another person.

Although Gu Jin was quite meticulous, he had not been to school for many years. In addition, the villagers of that era believed some things more or less.

Now that he heard Gu Dao say this, he had no idea. He could only subconsciously treat his eldest brother as his backbone.

Gu Dao handed the lantern forward. He saw that the autumn grass was lush nearby, and it was difficult to tell if it was dark in the distance. The light was swallowed up by the darkness not far away.

"If it's the worst case scenario, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time tomorrow…We can't drag it out, so we'll call a few strong men now! I want to go somewhere to take a look. Don't worry, I'm just looking from afar.

If it's really confirmed, we have to go and invite Sir immediately."

Since he had come to such a world and had some extraordinary abilities, even if he did not take the initiative to court death, he had to have the courage to face such things.

After all, if you didn't provoke the "human", you couldn't be sure when it would provoke you.

Now that there was another mysterious scroll that was obviously not an ordinary item, Gu Dao's mood had changed a little.

"I'll go and investigate the situation from afar. If things don't go well, I'll go back."

Thanks to Gu Jin's good popularity in the village, he soon gathered six or seven people.

They were all disciples of the younger generation of the Gu Clan, so they were both curious and nervous about this kind of thing. However, they did not have Gu Dao's strange experience, so they were not very afraid.

The group of people did not make a scene. They held lanterns and torches and followed behind Gu Dao to the place where he had the impression of encountering unclean things.

But as he walked, Gu Dao realized that something was wrong.

"Yo!" One of his companions accidentally slipped and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Dao was beside him and quickly pulled him back.

This had happened countless times.

Even though Gu Dao tirelessly reminded everyone to be careful, and even though they all brought torches and lanterns, people would often be tripped after walking on the small road for a while.

Gu Jin had no choice but to say,"Everyone, be careful. Let's take a break first. We'll walk forward later. If we really can't find Brother Xuan, we'll go back and discuss it further."

Everyone nodded. Just as they sat down and took a breath, they saw a ball of fire in front of them.

Could someone have found Young Master Xuan?

Everyone in the Gu family was moved. That person shouted first,"Who's there?!"

Gu Dao was puzzled. This person was clearly less than twenty steps away from him, so why did he shout so loudly?

Just as he was about to speak, Gu Jin had already stood up and waved his torch at the man. He also shouted,"We came with Brother Gu Dao to find Brother Xuan." Who are you?"

"I'm a long-term worker in Old Master Gu's family! I'm also here to find Young Master Xuan!"

As the man spoke, he panted as he approached the crowd. He bowed to the disciples of the Gu family."Hey, hello, greetings to all the masters and young masters. The fog is too thick today. I got lost in front of my house while walking."

Someone added,"Yeah, the weather is really strange. Why is it foggy?" It's so thick that I can't even see the road clearly. It's all thanks to Big Brother Dao's good eyesight."

The long-term worker sighed."Who says so?"

Fog?

Gu Dao suddenly stood up and raised the lantern to look at the ground. Under the light of the lantern, the soil, the weeds, and even the shoe prints left on the dirt road by the long-term workers running over could be clearly seen!

There was no fog at all!

"Where did the fog come from?!"

"What?!" he exclaimed, as if he had heard a thunderclap in his mind. The scroll unfurled slowly, and only one person appeared on the scroll.

He wore a Confucian turban and a red robe. He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He held a lamp in his left hand and formed a sword finger with his right hand. There were two words written next to it:

[Gu Dao]

There was a circular icon below the character with a pair of golden eyes. A line of small words gradually appeared: [Spiritual Perception](Skill Type: Mutant; Effect: Spiritual Perception is clear, able to distinguish what ordinary people can't.)
