The Yaoshan in the Ling family extends from a branch of the Jihan Mountains and belongs to the outermost edge of the Jihan Mountains.

Compared with the cold and towering mountains in the Extreme Cold Mountains, Yaoshan is very inconspicuous and its spiritual energy is not very rich.

Lingjia Town is located on the edge of the Jihan Mountain Range and at the foot of Yaoshan Mountain.

Although Yaoshan is not outstanding in spiritual energy, it is far enough from the Jihan Mountains and the mountain is not too cold, so it is suitable for planting spiritual herbs.

The spiritual herbs on Yaoshan are the main source of income for the Ling family. Most of the offerings paid by the Ling family to Xingyun Pavilion every year are mainly based on the spiritual herbs from Yaoshan. In recent years, Ling Chengzhi was responsible for the planting and picking of spiritual herbs on Yaoshan. Du Jiaolan tried to get involved in Yaoshan several times, but was destroyed by the Ling brothers.

On the Yaoshan Mountain, pieces of medicine garden are like tofu blocks. Almost all the spiritual herbs planted in the medicine garden are below the third grade level. Although the value is not high, it is valuable in the large number.

Among them, Jade Hand Flower, Hanyun Grass, and Snake Crown Flower are all third-grade spiritual herbs of the Ordinary Level, and are also spiritual herbs that are mainly planted in the Medicine Garden. These three spiritual herbs are the most basic medicinal materials for refining the Huiling Pill. Xingyun Pavilion has huge demand every year.

At this moment, Ling Chengye and Ling Chengzhi were standing in front of the medicinal garden of jade hand flowers.

After the jade hand flower blooms, it is like a girl's open palm. Five slender leaves are like five slender fingers, so it is called jade hand flower. The jade hand flower has only about half a year from planting to picking. It is not affected by weather changes. It is one of the easiest spiritual herbs to grow.

However, before the jade hand anther garden had time to bloom, the jade hand flowers were withered in small pieces, which made Ling Chengye's face look extremely ugly.

"Is it just like this?" Ling Chengye asked with hope.

Ling Chengzhi smiled bitterly, "The jade hand flowers are pretty good, the medicine gardens of Hanyun grass and snake crown flowers are even more unaware of, and they die even more powerfully. This year, it is probably difficult to get all the herbs paid to Xingyun Pavilion..."

Ling Chengye's expression changed and he shouted in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on? Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

"I don't know what's going on." Ling Chengzhi's face was bitter, and he was confused. "Since Qinshan's death two years ago, the herb harvest in the medicine garden has been alternately reduced in production season by season. If the production is reduced, it is still acceptable. It is okay to supply Xingyun Pavilion. I am also blamed for not paying attention to this matter because I am busy hitting the realm."

"When I realized something was wrong, I thought I could still control it. I spent a lot of effort on cultivation and conditioning of spiritual medicines, hoping to turn the situation around. However, I did not expect that since three months ago, the herbs gradually withered, and before I could react, the herbs in the medicine garden had already withered large areas..."

Ling Chengzhi lowered his head with frustration and looked like he could beat or scold him, but he did not dare to shirk responsibility.

Ling Chengye collapsed and was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "What does the erosion of the medicinal herbs in the medicinal garden have to do with Qin Lie? He has been in the mine cave on the belly of Yaoshan Mountain for many years, and he must have never been to the medicinal garden. Can he affect those medicinal herbs? Third brother, why do you think Qin Lie is suspicious?"

In his opinion, Qin Lie was just a fool, living a soulless life, and it was impossible for him to have an impact on Yaoshan at all.

"Since his grandfather and grandson entered the Yaoshan mine five years ago, I have been observing secretly that in the past five years, there has been few changes in Yaoshan, but there is a very strange phenomenon..." Ling Chengzhi frowned and said while thinking.

"What phenomenon makes you feel weird?" Ling Chengye was stunned.

"Every time it's thunder and rain, the lightning in the sky of Yaoshan will be very dense. Every time there are lightning struck the top of Yaoshan. Sometimes when the lightning comes, I'm scared to see it. However, before their grandfather and grandson came, even if the weather was bad, there was not so many lightning gathering over Yaoshan, and there would be no direct lightning to slash down!" Ling Chengzhi affirmed.

"This lightning...is related to their grandfather and grandson?" Ling Chengye shook his head, feeling that his brother's speculation did not have much basis.

"Brother, listen to me." Ling Chengzhi's expression gradually became serious. "This phenomenon has become more obvious after Qinshan's death! In the past two years, whenever it is thunder and rain, more lightning on Yaoshan gathers, and the number of times it is struck on Yaoshan is becoming more and more frequent! Sometimes, I can vaguely feel the powerful lightning, like hidden along the mountain stones into the belly of the mountain..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chengye finally looked at him and said solemnly: "Switch on!"

"I have been stationed in Yaoshan these years. After every lightning, I secretly pay attention to the cave in the mine. There were several times when I saw Qin Lie walking out of the cave, his hair and skin were a little charred. I dare to guarantee 100% that it was definitely caused by the lightning strike!" Ling Chengzhi shouted lightly, "Concerning the abnormalities in Yaoshan over the years, I have reason to suspect that this matter is related to Qin Lie! Brother, the herbs will not wither for no reason. I believe that there must be some strange changes inside the Yaoshan, which leads to the withering of the herbs!"

Ling Chengye frowned deeply, and after a long silence, he suddenly said: "I promised to have passed Qinshan and would not enter the mine for no reason."

"Brother, if this matter is really related to Qin Lie, if you don't figure it out, the herbs in the medicine garden will probably be difficult to remedy. Yaoshan is related to the development of our Ling family. If we really continue like this, our Ling family can never get all the spiritual herbs paid, there will be the side of Xingyun Pavilion..." Ling Chengzhi said worriedly.

Ling Chengye was silent again. After a while, he took a deep breath, took out a pale evil ghost mask and put it on silently, changed into a white long gown, and shouted in a deep voice: "I'll go to the mine to investigate it quietly. It is strictly forbidden to mention this matter to anyone!"

"Don't worry, brother, I'm responsible."

...

Ling Chengye was like a white ghost, carefully falling from a remote corner of Yaoshan to the hillside with a cave, stepping on protruding stones and grabbing the falling vines with his hands. His figure was like falling willow leaves and he soon came to the entrance of one of the caves.

Since he had made up his mind, Ling Chengye did not hesitate at all. He broke into the entrance of the cave and quickly rushed into the depths.

On the back of Yaoshan, there are many caves of varying sizes, which were formed by the Ling family from different angles and directions. The cave corridors are connected to each other. As long as you enter one of the caves, you can easily find the direction deep into the abdomen of the mountain.

However, not long after Ling Chengye entered the cave, his whole body suddenly shook and gradually became stiff.

In his memory, there were at most twenty mine corridors inside Yaoshan. Although he had not been here for some years, his memory of the mine was still very clear.

Because when he was young, he was also one of the miners who mined caves and was very familiar with this place.

But now, he had the illusion of going to the wrong place, because the mine corridor inside the mountain belly suddenly increased by more than ten times!

Looking at the complicated and complicated corridor in front of him, Ling Chengye was extremely surprised and lost a trace of familiarity.

"God! How did they do it?" Ling Chengye took a deep breath.

He still remembered that it took dozens of people from the Ling family to join us for three years, but only opened up more than a dozen stone paths leading to the inside of the mountain belly.

And the grandfather and grandson, in five years, actually opened up hundreds of stone paths again, which made Ling Chengye unable to believe his eyes.

Hundreds of stone paths are intertwined and connected with the original stone paths, as complex and difficult to understand as a maze, as numerous and strange as the tendons and veins of the human body.

Ling Chengye forced himself to calm down and searched through hundreds of stone mine caves, trying to enter the deepest part of the mountain belly and find Qin Lie's figure.

Half an hour later, the head of the Ling family gradually became confused and appeared directly at the entrance of the first cave.

After he woke up, his face became extremely abnormal. He went deep into the mine caves again without believing in evil, and searched again...

Seven times in a row, but he returned to the original cave entrance again and again. Ling Chengye gradually felt weak and his face was a little pale. Looking at the sky, he returned to Yaoshan Mountain in a little embarrassed manner.

"Brother, your face is very bad. What's going on? What's the matter? What's the discovery inside?" Ling Chengzhi asked nervously and concerned after he took off his mask.

After waved his hand, the head of the Ling family told him not to ask more questions for the time being, and sat down without saying a word, and then took the next pill of Return Spirit Pill with some pain to use his skills to regulate his breathing.

Ling Chengzhi wanted to speak but stopped, staring at him blankly, full of shock and confusion.

The sky gradually darkened. After a while of recovery, the head of the Ling family recovered slightly. He opened his eyes and shouted softly before Ling Chengzhi asked: "Don't ask first! Now Qin Lie should go out of the cave and return to Lingjia Town. I want to attack him on his way back to see what's going on!"

After saying that, before Ling Chengzhi could speak more, the head of the Ling family brought the white evil ghost area again and dived towards the mountain roads of Yaoshan and Lingjia Town with a serious look.
