Chapter 95: I've discovered a secret

"This Baishuizhai isn't peaceful either! Even General Mao Xuan's items were stolen!" Da Hu sighed and shook his head.
Hearing this, Leng Rui's heart skipped a beat as he immediately thought of the three suspicious people he saw last night.
"Could it be these people who did it?" Cold Rui had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't show any reaction on the surface.
"Senior Brother, it's chaotic outside today, let's not go out and prioritize safety!" Cold Rui said to Da Hu.
"Okay!" Dahuhu agreed.
After lunch, Erniu, who had been bored all morning, couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Alright, go out and inquire, but be careful!" Dahuhu cautioned.
"Don't worry!" Er Niu happily went out.
After about two hours, Er Niu came back.
As soon as he entered the door, he greeted Da Hu and Leng Rui.
"Big senior brother, third junior brother, both of you come over for a moment."
二牛的表情有点神神秘秘的。
Da Hu and Leng Rui are both a little curious, and quickly came to Er Niu's room.
"Senior brother, third junior brother, guess what Maomao lost?"
二牛压低声音说。
"Can't guess!" said Da Hu, shaking his head.
"I just received some rhinoceros horn and skin yesterday, and someone stole them!"
二牛神秘一笑说。
"Ah! It's not even something extremely valuable. If it's lost, so be it! Why make such a big fuss?" said Laing Rui dismissively.
"Third Junior Brother, don't you understand? Who is General Mao Xuan? He is the leader of Baishui Gang. He once boasted that Baishui Gang strictly forbids fighting and stealing. Now that it has happened under his nose, where does his face go?"
The two bulls looked like experienced people.
"It's quite humiliating!" Big Tiger laughed.
"How is Mr. Mao Xuan planning on salvaging his reputation?" asked Cold Rui with a smile.
"Mr. Mao has spoken. Whoever captures the thief will be rewarded with this white rhino horn and hide. He doesn't want anything else, just to vent his anger!" said the second bull.
"Did Chairman Mao really say that?" asked Lei Rui with some disbelief.
"Yes, he did! There are posters on the street, offering a reward of white rhino horn and skin to whoever catches the thief," said Er Niu confidently.
"Isn't it that simple?" Leng Rui still had doubts.
"Hey! You don't understand, important people care more about their reputation than anything else!" Er Niu said.
"Alright! Let's think of a way to catch the thief," Leng Rui smiled.
To be honest, both the white rhino horn and its skin are invaluable treasures that are hard to come by.
The white rhino horn can calm the mind, alleviate fright, and detoxify, making it an important ingredient in refining elixirs.
The white rhino skin is even more precious. It is said that armor made from it is lightweight, soft, thin, and impervious to knives and spears.
冷瑞真想炼制几副皮甲，兄弟几个人一人一套，不说别的，拉出去打群架绝对拉风。
再说，他这化学知识不能浪费啊！必须发挥作用。
"Third Junior Brother, do you have a solution?" Er Niu's face lit up with joy.
"Let's give it a try!" replied Leng Rui with a smile.
"We must catch it! Those two treasures are extremely valuable and priceless. If we manage to get our hands on them, we will become rich!" Er Niu's face turned red with excitement.
"I'm going out for a stroll!"
After saying that, Leng Rui went out alone.
The street was similar to usual, with plenty of merchants coming and going. The only difference was that there were patrols of fully armed household servants.
Leng Rui walked through one shop after another as if nothing happened.
Slowly, he turned onto the street behind.
There are much fewer people on this street, after all, it is not the main street.
There are also fewer shops, and many yards have their main gates closed.
Cold Ruiruo casually walked to the back of her own yard, slowly walking and releasing her spiritual consciousness, observing slowly.
He didn't notice when this family set up the array.
From his memory, there was no array before. When they just moved in, he also observed the surroundings and didn't find any array.
This is also a large courtyard, a two-story bamboo and wood structure building, surrounded by tightly woven bamboo fence walls. It is really difficult to see the situation inside with the naked eye.
Leng Rui intends to approach the fence and withdraw his divine sense, walking slowly along the fence like an ordinary person.
If there is an almost imperceptible force, his body also feels a kind of pushing force, making it impossible to approach the fence at all.
"Damn it! It’s a dual insurance formation!" Leng Rui roughly understood.
After walking along the long fence wall, he also passed through the main gate in the middle. No one paid attention to him and nothing unusual was found.
Back to my courtyard, I didn't find Erniu.
"Senior Brother, where is Second Senior Brother?" Leng Rui casually asked.
"Where else could he be? Just wandering around the streets. Wherever it's lively, he'll be there." Da Hu laughed.
Cold Rui knows that Er Niu is a restless person, he must have gone outside again to inquire about the news.
Business seems to be good today, a large truck from Guangji Corporation is currently loading goods.
Fan Xiaowen and a few others are busy.
Don't let their young age fool you, each of them has great strength and effortlessly lifts a wooden box onto the car.
These individuals have all taken Wujin pills, making their bodies incredibly strong, much stronger than children of the same age.
Have a look, Lengrui, there's no need to do it yourself, the car will be full soon.
He pushed open the door and returned to his own room.
After sitting down, he began to ponder in his mind.
Having set up the formation, it shows that there are cultivators involved.
What kind of immortal and mortal paths are complete nonsense, now it seems. The group of people he encountered, such as Yunhuo, Hongyun, Xue Laoda, and so on, they are all cultivators, but just not explicitly shown.
Today, the formation he encountered really gave him a headache. In the past, he could penetrate the soul's power into several formations he encountered, but this formation is obviously different. Not only can his body not enter, but his divine consciousness is also isolated.
"The techniques of immortals are truly impressive!" Leng Rui secretly marveled.
He couldn't be sure if the people here were from the Thief Mao Mansion, after all, he had no evidence.
Even those three people he discovered last night were empty-handed, without any valuable items like bull horns or cow skins.
Just as he was thinking, there were two knocks on the door, and Fan Xiaowen came in.
"Little Brother Leng! I found a secret!" Fan Xiaowen said softly.
"What secret?" Leng Rui was surprised and immediately asked.
"Didn't you tell us to practice diligently? I have been practicing seriously every night. About five days ago, I noticed that there seemed to be something extra in the backyard behind us. My spiritual power was blocked when it reached there," said Xiao Wen.
"I went there just now, and it appears to be a formation," said Leng Rui.
"Ah? This is a formation? It's amazing!" Fan Xiaowen stuck out her tongue.
"Did you notice anything else?" Leng Rui asked again.
"The people living there seem to be from the Rongmen." Fan Xiaowen blushed.
"How do you know?" Leng Rui was a little curious.
"I used to work with Wan Laogui in that line of work. In the martial arts world, they call themselves the 'Rongmen', and there are some hand signals and secret codes that only we can understand. Just by looking at those people across the street, I can tell they are from the Rongmen." Fan Xiaowen said.
Cold Rui suddenly understood that people in the martial arts world have their own set of phrases and codes that ordinary people cannot understand.
He remembered reading a book on Earth called "Don't Mess with the Chemist", where the Northeastern bandits spoke in "secret language" that ordinary people couldn't understand.
However, there are so many bandits in Northeast China that their secret language has become the everyday language of the common people.
For example, "delicious" in bandit language is "jiū gū", but now even the people in Northeast China use it, and it has become a dialect.
"What did they say?" Lu Rui quickly asked.
"It seems like some people have been going out late at night to scout the area. They seem to be planning something big," Fan Xiaowen said, using all the "jargon," which sounded familiar to Lu Rui.
This is so much like the slang on Earth.
