Chapter 74 Who is the prey?
"On the ground?" Everyone was happy when they heard this.
Is it easier to find the weak sensing breath in the vast mountains, or is it easier to find the person first while the breath is clear?
There is almost no need to think about it, everyone chooses the latter.
Even if the great elder was on the ground at this time, he would take the opportunity to take it together, and then force him to tell the location of the cave entrance.
This is also safer and more reliable than sneaking into a hole to attack.
Therefore, with Qingye as the leader, make a decisive decision and set off now!
According to Zhou Po's previous experiences, his sister usually stays for about an hour after arriving on the ground.
From Zangshui Village to the Monkey King Cave Spirit Mine, it is a thirty-mile straight line journey, which may be hundreds of miles when converted into mountain roads, but with their cultivation, many cliffs and dangerous passes can be jumped over.
One hour is enough to get there!
The seven people moved very quickly. After counting their breaths, they divided into three waves and left Zangshui Village in batches and walked towards the mountain.
In this village, there are many people like them rushing to the mountains every month, which is really unusual.
However, these casual cultivators didn't know that as early as when Qingye and the two entered the village, they had already fallen into the eyes of someone who was interested.
……
Time returns to the second quarter of Shen time again.
When Qingye Qingni opened the door next door and met Zhang Qianfan and the other five people, the shopkeeper's pupils suddenly shrank when he was doing the abacus and accounting on the first floor.
I winked at the waiter who was cleaning the table. The waiter understood what was happening, picked up a basin of dirty water on the ground, walked outside the door, and poured it all into the ditch with a "poof".
Hundreds of feet away, on the top of the village wall, two people watched all this silently.
After creating a soundproof ban, one of them said: "Master, it seems that you are right. The two people who just entered the village are the reinforcements of this group of loose cultivators."
"Yeah." The person who was called Young Master was a rough-skinned young man who looked like a patrol member of the village. However, if Yang Zhen heard his voice, she would be shocked.
The young master of the Liang family, Liang Xingyun, who was being groomed as the future patriarch, actually dressed up as a villager in his own village!
What's going on?
It’s a long story.
It turned out that nine days ago, after Liang Xingyun heard Liang Chongjin's report that a beautiful woman had moved into the Kangsheng Inn, he was worried that Yang Zhen would also live there and did not dare to cause trouble. But after parting with Yang Zhen the next night, he was anxious
I went to the inn impatiently and observed secretly.
As a result, this observation allowed him to discover the secrets of these people.
They actually came to look for missing fellow Taoists, and one of them had a special search method.
As the heir, he was well aware of some of the family's activities and was about to report the matter to the patriarch.
Liang Yuanxiong took this matter very seriously, especially after knowing the specialness of the Zhou brothers and sisters, he was even more ecstatic. So several elders put together a plan and decided to play a trick.
Can't that person find his sister? Let's just send his sister to the ground from time to time to lure these people there.
After all, there are many people in the city, and it is very difficult to kill a few people without them noticing, and there will be many consequences.
Only when they enter the mountain can they do whatever they want. There are so many monks who have died and disappeared in this mountain. Who knows whether it was the monsters or them?
And the most important thing is that they also want to capture Zhou Po alive. This person will be of great use. As for the reason, we will continue it later.
The plan went smoothly. When Zhou Qi appeared on the ground twice, the group of casual cultivators were finally attracted to Zangshui Village.
As a result, when they got here, this group of people refused to leave and stayed there for several days.
During this period, Zhou Qi appeared twice, but they both stood still.
The room has always been soundproofed, and we can’t find out why.
The Great Elder finally couldn't hold it any longer, and when someone was wandering around, he grabbed a tongue, and after a lot of coercion and inducement, as well as swearing by inner demons, he finally forced this person to tell the truth.
It turned out that after they judged that the person was probably in the spirit stone mine, they were worried that they would not be a match for the great elder, so they planned to invite reinforcements from the alliance before continuing the operation.
As for the cultivation level of the reinforcements, the man also confessed, saying that the superiors would arrange for a guardian and a hall master to come.
In this case, let them never come back!
The elders of the Liang family are so confident because they also have a powerful trump card!
……
Let’s continue talking about Liang Xingyun. In order not to show his weakness in front of these casual cultivators, he deliberately disguised himself as a guard in the village and slept in the tower for several days.
From this point of view, this person can be regarded as able to endure hardships and dare to do things.
He discussed the secret code with the innkeeper to avoid getting too close and arousing suspicion.
After all, the opponent has a master in the late stage of foundation building.
When he got the exact news, his heart fell to the ground. Without hesitation, he took out the paper kite he had brought with him and sent it out immediately.
Half a quarter of an hour later, thirty miles away in the Monkey King's Cave, Liang Yuanxiong received a message from his grandson, with a sinister smile on his face.
Next to him are the second elder and the third elder.
They got the news that the Sanxiu Alliance would send reinforcements today, so they rushed here long ago and were ready.
"Go and report to the Great Elder that the target has arrived. Ask him to send that girl to the ground!"
"Yes!" Liang Chongjun agreed, and immediately rushed towards the mountain stream in the distance.
"There's no need to be in a hurry," Liang Yuanxiong shouted: "It will only take half an hour to deliver it. If it's too fast, it will make people suspicious."
"Yes." Liang Zhongjun agreed again and slowed down.
The entrance to the Lingshi Mine is hidden somewhere in the mountain stream.
He came to the bottom of the cliff, turned around, and turned into two huge rocks.
This place is full of rugged rocks and fortresses. Even if someone follows you, it will be difficult not to reveal your whereabouts when you get here.
The Liang family took great pains to arrange the entrance here.
After a few spells were played, a three-foot-wide hole suddenly appeared on the overgrown ground somewhere.
Liang Zhongjun jumped down, dropped a hundred feet, and landed on a flat ground.
He is familiar with the road and knows the depth of the cave entrance. If other people come in and are not guarded, they may fall down.
Liang Zhongjun continued to move forward without stopping, sometimes jumping into a deep pit, falling dozens or hundreds of feet, sometimes down a slope, and half a quarter of an hour later, a hole appeared in front of him again.
He did not hesitate and continued to jump down. This time he dropped a full three hundred feet before finally landing.
In front of you is a huge cave.
A hundred feet away, six people were sitting cross-legged, each taking a corner, surrounding the condensing array, refining the spiritual stone.
When they saw someone coming in, several people looked up and recognized the third elder, and immediately showed a flattering and begging smile.
Liang Zhongjun ignored them and walked past several smelly tents and entered a corridor.
He kept walking in this corridor, and after walking for two or three miles, he came to two ordinary stones.
After typing several formulas again, the two stones separated to both sides, and another hole was exposed.
He entered with a low body, and this time he began to run wildly. He ran for more than ten miles, and there were several confusing forks that he passed by.
Finally we came to another long cave.
There are more than a dozen people here, some old and some young, but all of them are wearing shackles made of fine iron. They look haggard, and when they look at Liang Chongjun, some are numb, some are hateful, and some are resentful.
One of them stood every few feet with a shovel in his hand, shoveling a pebble-sized stone from the mountain wall from time to time.
In the bamboo baskets at my feet, some have dozens of stones, and some only have three or four.
Liang Zhongjun's eyes rested on a stone as big as a human head for a moment, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He swaggered past these people and after walking for another half mile, a stone house appeared in front of him, with a faint light coming from inside.
He moved closer, and as expected, a moan that made people blush and feel hot was coming from inside.
Liang Zhongjun swallowed, moved his lips slightly, and whispered:
"Great Elder, the prey is here."
