Directly south of Mianshan Mountain, at the foot of Wufeng Mountain.

Regardless of the commotion outside, Lin Xiao, who was here, was still somewhat surprised that the Immortal Mansion Relic Formation suddenly appeared under his nose.

But after thinking about it later, I found that this matter was not completely traceable.

For example, among the five counties and 18 counties in Yinzhou, why are there nothing special about the other places? However, this Nanshan County also produces medicinal materials and herbs, as well as spiritual springs and spiritual wine, which are the "divine eye tree tips" used by Jianzhou. They are also concentrated on this side of the land.

It's just that I didn't notice these details before and didn't study them in depth.

In fact, this idea is not to deduce the cause and effect, but to talk about useless "hindsight". After all, things are like this. If a coincidence is considered a coincidence, but if they all come together, it may not really be a coincidence.

Putting aside all the thoughts in his mind, Lin Xiao caught the two groups of people shortly after he was born in Xianfu.

One is Ni Jing, the head of Yinzhou who received the sword letter from Lin Xiao and came here overnight; the other is Wang Chong, the disciple of the inner hall who turned around and received the decree of the mountain gate and came alone.

Also taking this opportunity, Lin Xiao could see with his own eyes the true ability of his immediate boss, Ni Jing.

In less than two days from the day Wang Chong showed up, the head of the Yinzhou Foreign Sect, along with a group of miscellaneous envoys and assistants, and a group of craftsmen hired from Qinghefang City, arrived a large distance away. Less than three miles away, on a gentle slope with excellent terrain, a clearing was cleared, and an exquisite courtyard containing more than a dozen quiet rooms was built.

By the time other disciples of the sects and the casual cultivators of the Immortal Sect arrived at Wufeng Mountain, not to mention the banner of Hanxi Mountain had already been erected outside the door, as well as tables, chairs, beds, and everything else had been arranged neatly, just waiting for people to arrive. .

In addition, Ni Jing also directly brought a few cooks and boys from Fangshi and placed them in a corner of the other courtyard. If necessary, he could light a fire to make rice directly, and he could not eat carelessly.

Such a scene, not to mention the casual cultivators of other sects who were stunned for a moment, even Lin Xiao was speechless, thinking that it was no wonder that he could be the leader of a state, his hands and feet were so quick, and his eyebrows were so high and low, it was really amazing.

Of course, Lin Xiao knew very well why Ni Jing, who usually didn't pull out a hair, suddenly changed his temper and was so generous.

Didn’t I know from Wang Chong that this time the mountain sect not only sent Qingxi Hall’s top disciple Xiang Ran, but also many rising stars who had been selected by the peaks and newly promoted to the inner hall, and two peak masters were here.< /p>

If such a battle were to take place on any other occasion, I am afraid that no one within the outer gate would be able to handle it. Even if they did, it would probably be the head of the Shanmen Internal Affairs Hall who would come to handle it. But even so, there is still a gap in seniority.

Therefore, it is quite normal for Ni Jing to be so cautious.

At the same time, during these three days, Lin Xiao also met another acquaintance, Shu Zuo Zhu Xingwen.

Since the "Yuanhuang Ceremony" that almost caused trouble two years ago, this "old friend" has become the most popular person in front of Ni Jing. While his status has increased, he also represented the Yinzhou General Hall and actually participated in the event.

Several joint ventures of Huang Family Industries.

Now, two years later, this little-known chief secretary has become a very powerful figure.

This time he came to the foot of Wufeng Mountain. On the one hand, he was in charge of the outer sect and had to attend. On the other hand, he quietly brought a message to Lin Xiao.

He learned from him that Lou Xuan of the Law Hall actually left the Yinzhou Main Hall alone the day after meeting Lin Xiao. As for where he went, it is unknown.

Lin Xiao had no other choice about this matter.

After all, if the person is there, you can still keep an eye on him, but if the person is no longer there, how can you keep an eye on him? You can only let it go and wait for him to show up again.

Of course, judging from the meeting that day, Lin Xiao did not think that the smiling head of the law hall would give up halfway, and in all likelihood, nothing good would happen when they meet again.

Speaking of which, in fact, according to the original plan, Lin Xiao wanted to report the Wufeng Mountain Formation to Ni Jing, then return to Ginkgo Mountain to study and practice in peace.

After all, the horizons that should be opened have been opened, and the responsibilities that should be fulfilled have been fulfilled. The birth of the Immortal Mansion Legacy Formation is not a big event that a Qi Refining monk like me can get involved in.

In addition, in the past few days, various forces, both large and small sects and immortal cultivators, have gathered here secretly, hoping to fish in troubled waters and explore the array to seize treasures. Lin Xiao knew what he was worth.

I never thought about going through this muddy water.

But as soon as he said these words, he was directly rejected by Ni Jing.

And the reason given by the other party is really irresistible - you are the first one to rush to the scene, and you are also the deacon of Nanshan County where the Immortal Mansion Relic Formation is located. If you are not here waiting for someone to come from the mountain gate, where are you going to run to?

?

As a result, Lin Xiao, who could only stay here, became the most leisurely person these days.

But it’s not like he didn’t find something to do for himself.

After several contacts, the inner disciple named Wang Chong has an honest character and honest conduct, and is indeed a trustworthy person.

Lin Xiao went with him and walked around Wufeng Mountain several times. While taking a close look at the huge relic formation, he also gained some insights.

On the morning of the third day, Lin Xiao, who had nothing to do, finally received a message from Wang Chong, saying that Xiang Ran and his party would arrive in the morning.

This gave rise to some hope of "escaping from the sea of ​​suffering".

At this moment, Lin Xiao, who had been standing at the door of the villa with Ni Jing, Wang Chong, and all the attendants from the main hall, had been waiting for more than half an hour, and finally saw a Feng Ge with the flag of Hanxi Mountain on the horizon.

, appeared in sight, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally here.

At this moment, a fair-skinned young man standing next to Lin Xiao whispered: "Is this the first time that Deacon Lin has seen Shanmen Fengge?"

When Lin Xiao heard this, he knew it was Wang Chong, so he looked at the increasingly clear hull and smiled: "Of course it's the first time. Looking at the size, it can probably hold twenty or thirty people, right?"
p>

"The deacon has a good eye. Normally, the number of people is twenty, and the maximum number will not exceed thirty." Wang Chong nodded and confirmed: "And this Fengge suit is second best. Unlike the sword boat, it also has a spiritual stone formation carved on it.

, can control attacks from the sky!"

"Oh? Is there such an effect?" Lin Xiao was startled when he heard this.

"Of course!" Wang Chong said, with a look of regret on his face, and added: "Unfortunately, what Uncle Master and the others brought here this time was a wind boat. If it were a cloud boat, it would be spectacular.

, it can hold at least 100 people."

Lin Xiao listened and joked: "If a cloud ship really comes and carries hundreds of people, how does Senior Brother Wang plan to start a war here?..."

"Haha, no way, don't you want Deacon Lin to take a look? Maybe I can take you up for a walk!" Wang Chong replied.

Lin Xiao knew that what he said was sincere and must not be a lie, so he said: "Thank you for your kindness, senior brother. There is no need to go up. Otherwise, your involvement will be indispensable for the accountability. But now that we have things to do, if senior brother has time, why not go to Ginkgo Mountain

, I will place wine in the mountains and treat you to a jar of local specialty 'Jinquan Niang', which will make your trip worthwhile."

Wang Chong's face lit up as he heard this. "Do you really mean what the deacon said?"

Lin Xiao nodded. "I, Lin Xiao, invite people to drink, can I still joke about it?"

"That's great!" Wang Chong agreed, but his expression immediately changed, and he quickly added, "By the way, just drink, but the deacon shouldn't arrange the meals. I, I have really lost my appetite recently..."

Lin Xiao was startled when he heard this, feeling strange in his heart, and whispered: "Senior brother, I haven't eaten much in the past few days. After all, we have not yet fully breathed, and we still need whole grains. If we only rely on berry spirit tea to fill our stomach, be careful that your body cannot bear it."

Stay."

Wang Chong showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. Although he knew that the other party meant well, but now that he saw the big fish and meat, he felt acid reflux in his stomach, so he said: "Thank you very much, deacon. I'll wait until it's over." <

/p>

"Okay, I'll just listen to my senior brother then." Lin Xiao didn't think much and agreed directly.

Before Wang Chong could speak, Ni Jing, who was standing in front, turned back and glared at Lin Xiao, then raised his hand and quietly pointed to the sky, "Here we come, be silent."

Lin Xiao and the other two looked up, and saw a large ship with a pale white halo and a buzzing sound, slowly falling from the sky. For a moment, the strong wind stirred up at the entrance of the courtyard, and grass seeds flew everywhere.
p>

Fortunately, everyone here is not an ordinary person. Before they could panic, Ni Jing waved his hand and held up a light curtain to block the turbulent flow.

Not long after, there was a muffled sound, and the boat landed steadily. Then the ladder was lowered, and a group of people got off the boat first.

Looking closely, the leader is in his thirties, with a jade hairpin tied in his hair, a green robe, and a sword behind his back. He has a handsome face and aloof demeanor.

Behind this person were a dozen young men, all dressed the same as Wang Chong, with snow-white robes and dark blue embroidery thread. The "Cangshan Lengyue" emblem on the collar represented their identities - under Qingxi Hall,

Inner disciple.

Seeing the crowd of people coming, Ni Jing hurried forward with his entourage and bowed.

"Ni Jing, the head of the outer sect of Yinzhou, met with the envoy of Qingxi Hall."

Xiang Ran received the gift and said softly: "It's been a hard work, sir, so get up."

Ni Jing bowed and paused again. "It's hard work for the outer sect. The younger generation has arranged the residence properly. Please also ask the envoy to move to another courtyard."

"That's it, thank you very much."

"I don't dare, I'm exaggerating when I'm teaching you."

When Ni Jing stood up, Xiang Ran didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he glanced at everyone, and when he found Wang Chong, he immediately smiled.

Just because Wang Chong is the youngest in the inner hall, but the most talented. He was born with a single spiritual root of wood element. Although he is only at the eighth level of Qi refining now, in terms of potential, he is probably the most talented among the new disciples in the inner hall.

It is possible, and he is also the person who succeeds in building the foundation the fastest.

In addition to this son's pure nature, not to mention Xiang Ran himself, even his master Meng Yuji loved him very much and always took him with him.

So when he saw Wang Chong, who had been communicating with him for the past few days, of course he was in a good mood and spoke out.

"Chong'er performed well this time. Even my uncle, I once sent a sword letter to praise you."

When Wang Chong heard this, he bowed respectfully. "How dare I be praised by my master and uncle? I'm just running errands. If I really want to say that my performance is good, it should be this one..."

As he spoke, he grabbed Lin Xiao, who had his head lowered and was silent, and pulled him forward.

"This Nanshan deacon, Lin Xiao, is the Hanxi Mountain disciple who never evades fire and water, regardless of his personal safety. He is the first Hanxi Mountain disciple to go to the foot of Wufeng Mountain to understand the situation and send the sword book!"

"Oh? Are you Lin Xiao?" Xiang Ran's eyes flashed, he looked up and down and asked.

Lin Xiao was wandering in the world just now, but now he was pushed to the front of the stage. He could only answer bravely: "The disciple is Lin Xiao."

Xiang Ran smiled and turned to look at Wang Chong again.

In fact, he didn't know that Wang Chong was taking credit for the boy in front of him.

But looking at his most beloved disciple, he really didn't care about adding a little more credit to the first person who reported the news.

Then he said: "What the deacon has done, he should set an example for his disciples. When the matter here is over, go back to the mountain gate and report it to Yousi. Your great contribution will be indispensable from now on."

Hearing this, dozens of eyes in the audience instantly focused on Lin Xiao. Not to mention everyone from the outer sect of Yinzhou, even the chief Ni Jing was a little jealous.

After all, the top disciple of the inner sect of Qingxi Hall asked for a reward. When the Shanmen Internal Affairs Hall complied with the order, the reward could only be higher, not lower. Ni Jing even thought to himself that Lin Xiao might not be able to return to the mountain gate because of this.

It’s still unclear.

But at this moment, Lin Xiao, who was bowing his head, was sweating all over his head and digging his toes into the ground. He thought to himself, I am just trying to avoid trouble. Why am I going to do this and send myself back to Hanxi Mountain?!

But what he said was: "Disciple Lin Xiao, thank you for teaching me!"

At this moment, a voice of exclamation suddenly came from the more than ten inner disciples behind Xiang Ran.

"I thought it was the same name, but I didn't expect it was you, Senior Brother Lin!"

Everyone in the audience was stunned when they heard the words, and followed the news, but saw one person's face turn pale. Knowing that he was rude, he hurriedly bowed to Xiang Ran to apologize.

"Preach, please forgive me for passing on the power. Disciple, disciple, I spoke out rashly just because I met an old friend. Please punish me."

Xiang Ran frowned slightly, but he also knew that this was not the time to discuss crimes and punishments, so he said: "Oh? From what you said, do you know Deacon Lin?"

At this time, Lin Xiao also straightened up and saw the person speaking clearly. He sneered in his heart. It turned out that this person was none other than Zou Jian, who wanted to step on him and get the upper hand!

General Zou Jian nodded and explained: "Reporting to the envoy, of course I know Senior Brother Lin."

"This Senior Brother Lin was the Senior Senior Brother of the 'Yuanzi Branch' in Dieyun Peak where my disciple was at that time. However, later because of the Senior Brother, he used force in the hall and beat his fellow sect members. His genealogy was canceled and he was demoted to the outer sect. This was the end of his career.

I didn’t expect to meet again here two years later.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the venue was in an uproar, but they immediately realized that the situation was wrong, and immediately silenced the sound, but this time the eyes they cast had something different.

Even Xiang Ran looked a little worried. After taking a deep look at Zou Jian, he paused at Wang Chong, who was full of surprise, and finally looked at Lin Xiao coldly.

Lin Xiao, who was looking at Zou Jian at this time, also smiled, but what he said in his heart was another sentence.
Chapter completed!
