In the rainy season, God is beautiful.

This season is sunny with occasional drizzle. Everything is getting warmer and the soil is loosening. It is a good time for sowing. People are plowing the ground and sowing seeds in the fields of Yong'an.

The area covered by the Chenghuang Earth Temple is warm and warm. As long as there are no floods or droughts, there will be a good harvest. But when sowing in the wilderness, rice can't compete with weeds.

Yong'an Military Mansion is still busy.

Mo Huaixian first went to see the progress of the military camp and the weapon refining workshop, then compiled the latest information, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and tied it to Xiao Bai's feet.

Xiaobai, who became more and more powerful, fluttered his wings and flew towards the eastern mountains.

The sky was overcast and drizzling.

The mountains and forests seemed to be shrouded in mist, becoming increasingly hazy.

Outside the mountains, a large number of craftsmen of the Mo family are busy around the mines. Temporary workshops have been set up one after another. Guards are patrolling with open and covert sentries, and there are even masters from the clan lurking.

Xiaobai flew over the copper mine. In front of him, in the open space ten miles away deep in the dense forest, the torches of the military camp flickered and several large pots of water vapor billowed.

An eagle crows and flutters its wings.

Wang Xuan fed him some dried meat, and then took out the information to check.

The information provided by the Mo family will be delivered daily to the northwest of Bingzhou, while the information on the entire Dayan will be compiled at the end of the month or the beginning of the month. It is now early March.

"On February 16th, Emperor Yan Guanghong ordered the prince to inspect various places and supervise the development of wasteland to solve the shortage of Xuancopper mine in the Ministry of Industry..."

"Huaizhou, bloody bandits raided villages everywhere and robbed people..."

"In Tongzhou, hundreds of Dharma protectors from the Sumeru Sect came down from the mountain to cooperate with the government army to strictly investigate the hidden Black Mountain religious obscenities and rituals in various places..."

"In Dianzhou, several high-level practitioners from the Taiyi Sect arrived and raided the super demon nest with various dharma lineage families. Unexpectedly, the opponent set up a large formation with miasma poisonous insects. After several battles, the outcome was indistinguishable. It was suspected that there was an old demon in disguise...

"

"There is an urgent report from the Great Wall of Ice and Snow in Northern Xinjiang. There is a big star falling on the Black Abyss Icefield. The night is like daylight. The barbarian tribes are moving. The mighty Marshal Huo Yu sent his experts to spy..."

"Master Wang of Shanhai Academy met with Emperor Qin Xuan of Jin, hoping to arrange a marriage between the royal families of Yan and Jin..."

Wang Xuan frowned and fell into deep thought. The chaos in various parts of the Yan Dynasty had already appeared. It seemed that the Yan Dynasty was afraid that the Southern Jin Dynasty would take advantage of the situation and led his army across the Jiuqu Tianhe River, so he came up with the plan to make peace.

But everyone knows that the marriage is just a joke. I am afraid that Mrs. Wang of Shanhai Academy has another secret mission.

And what is this bloody-robed thief doing by robbing people since he is practicing the art of human elixir?

Do you want to tie him back and use him as food rations?

There is probably some conspiracy. Although Yongan is small, he has to guard against it.

As for Bingzhou, it is temporarily stable.

The Antai County government army was controlled by the Liuhe Yin and Yang Sect. They had many Feng Shui masters and discovered several mineral veins one after another. They also found a valley where the earth energy gathered and set up a large array to plant elixirs, which instantly dominated the scene.

In comparison, no one cares about Yongan's small mines.

On the other side of Shanyin, people from all walks of life explored the Houshan Mountains. Although they killed many hidden bandits, not a single hair on the treasure was found. Some people already said that the Xiao family was using them as weapons...

As for the Shanyin Mansion Army, Xiao Yunlou of the Xiao family sent his men to Qucheng and Yongan respectively, hoping to form an alliance to jointly deal with the threat of the blood-clothed thieves...

After putting away the information, Wang Xuan wrote a brief letter, instructing Mo Huaixian to send people to release the falcons and pay attention to the surrounding movements at all times to prevent sneak attacks by the bloody thieves.

As for Shanyin, the weapon refining workshop is indispensable for the supply of Xiao family's secret materials. It's just a good relationship, but if the other party has any requests, you must inform yourself first...

After finishing the official business, Zhang Heng strode over, his eyes full of worry and said with his hands: "Sir, it rains today. The yin energy in the mountains will inevitably rise and the smell of evil will fade away. You are all alone..."

"It doesn't matter."

Wang Xuan interrupted him with a slight smile, "Ah Fu relies on his ears. The rain is actually beneficial to me. You and Chou Fo'er will guard the military camp. If there is anything abnormal, I will ask Xiao Bai to send a message to inform you."

Zhang Heng nodded helplessly, "Then please be careful."

…

The forest is deep and the rain is drizzling.

Whizzing!

Two black shadows passed through the big branches, looking like ghosts.

Wang Xuan carried an iron spear in his hand, carried a bow and arrow on his back, and jumped nimbly on the tree trunk, scanning all directions with his sharp eyes.

Ah Fu followed him around like a shadow, his six ears trembling constantly, while above the sky, Xiao Bai watched the movement of the surrounding forest and sea.

Being alone, the exploration speed is obviously accelerated.

The goal of his trip was very clear, which was to eliminate hidden dangers.

The Dongshan mine is related to the future of the government army. Even if there are old guards from the Mo family, they cannot be careless. No matter whether it is a monster nest, a ghost cave, or a blood-clothed bandit, they must find a way to eliminate it.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

The drizzle is still intermittent, the mountains and forests are dark, and the gloomy air is rising.

"whee…"

Will-o'-the-wisps are circling, ancient trees and vines are rustling, and black shadows are flickering.

This is how it is in the wilderness. After the death of animals, the remaining souls can by chance attach themselves to rocks and debris. Over time, they absorb the moonlight and become demons and monsters. They like to chase the living souls.

"Woof woof!"

A fierce dog bark sounded, and the shadow of the will-o'-the-wisp disappeared instantly.

Wang Xuan walked out of the forest road with an eagle on his shoulders, shook the rain off his hood, looked around with cold eyes, and then found a dry place under the shade of a tree.

They lit a bonfire and roasted the skinned hare. After a while, the grease dripped and the aroma filled the air. Ah Fu lay next to it, sticking out his tongue and drooling.

"What's the rush? It's not baked through yet."

Wang Xuan smiled hoarsely, took out the sheepskin map and sketched it by the light of the fire.

It can be seen from the map that the eastern mountains are connected to the northwest branch of the Dragon Vein, and the towering snow peaks are connected to the mountains near Shanyin. Nearly one-fifth of the blank space has been marked with various marks.

Wang Xuan sighed slightly in his heart. Compared with the gathering place of human race, this wilderness is really vast.

I had Xiaobai Afu to help me, and there were countless little fairies and monsters along the way, so I couldn't pay attention to them and could only make a cursory exploration.

The good thing is that no trace of the demon nest was found.

Of course, mines and spiritual treasures cannot be discovered either.

These things are usually hidden, and even his eyes, which can roughly detect Qi, cannot detect it. Only those who are good at this can find clues.

However, in his plan, he will inevitably select people to form a mountain-searching army in the future, dedicated to searching for mineral deposits, secret treasures, and detecting the enemy's situation.

After a while, the rabbit meat was roasted. Wang Xuan first fed Xiaobai Afu, then took out the wine gourd from his waist, and while eating and drinking, he checked the Heavenly Way deduction disk.

"Yan's Military Preparations", the deduction progress is 16%.

It seems that this thing is really average and can be completed in less than two weeks.

Then, Wang Xuan looked at the "Blood Fiend Body Forging Technique" again.

This skill hides a huge secret.

Emperor Li Yuan of the Wei Dynasty used this to sweep the world, and then carried out a brutal purge, leaving only fragments of the book. Wang Xuan tested it a few days ago. Even with his current reputation, it would take a year and a half to complete the deduction.

Not to mention the current chaos, it is impossible to spend a lot of time deducing, and Wang Xuan still has a vague feeling that once the full version of "Blood Fiend Body Forging Technique" appears, it will cause huge trouble.

But if you want to strengthen your army, you must improve your deficiencies.

Fortunately, the Tiandao Deduction Board can integrate techniques. He has asked the Mo family to search for body-building techniques from various schools, as well as secret techniques related to qi and blood, and he will definitely be able to come up with a unique skill.

Best, it can also form restrictions and prevent external transmission...

At this moment, Ah Fu suddenly raised his ears and looked into the distance, purring loudly.

"Is there anyone?!"

Wang Xuan waved his hand, and the bonfire was immediately extinguished, and then he looked toward the southeast with cold eyes.

When Ah Fu heard that, there was something strange happening ten miles away.

Such barren mountains and ridges,

Is it a bandit or a bandit in blood clothes?

Wang Xuan jumped up without hesitation, quickly shuttled through the forest, and soon discovered something.

On the hillside outside the forest, I saw a huge stone temple wrapped in dead trees and old vines, half embedded in the mountain wall. The stone statue at the door could vaguely make out the appearance of a mandrill.

Yin Temple…

No, it’s a real mountain temple!

Wang Xuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect to find such a thing.

It is said that during the Wei Dynasty, the art of conferring gods could also confer the title of Hebo, the mountain god, but it was lost in the troubled times and caused the human territory to shrink again and again.

In this allusion, Mo Huaixian once told him that the ruins of the mountain god Hebo's temple can sometimes be found in various places in Yan, but they are often occupied by evil spirits.

But in the temple in front of us, there is a faint light of fire in the darkness...
