Arriving at the county government office, Yan Ruoshui and the others had already received the news and had been waiting at the gate of the county government office early. Seeing Chen Chao who came here with Guo Xi, Yan Ruoshui frowned and looked a little surprised.
She had met once at the county government office before, but she never thought that the young man in black shirt in front of her was the local guardian envoy.
This guardian envoy seems to be a little too young...
Chen Chao looked at Yan Ruoshui and the other three, and took the initiative to smile and said, "It is indeed a monk from outside. You immortal masters are really extraordinary."
Yan Ruoshui was expressionless, but when Chi Ganquan looked at Chen Chao, there was some undisguised contempt in his eyes. The monks had always looked down on him, and this was no secret. He could be indifferent to Mi Ke and others because people like Mi Ke
He could simply ignore such people, and they were not even considered ants. However, Chen Chao was different. He was a person that the monks naturally hated.
Chen Chao saw the contempt in Chi Ganquan's eyes, but didn't take it seriously. He just didn't see it and glanced at Guo Xi over there. The latter had his hands behind his head and a smile on his face.
Seeing Chen Chao looking at him, this young man who had already killed two people in this county smiled and said, "Needless to say, go to the mine earlier. We have finished selecting the stones, so we can go back early."
Home."
Seeing that Guo Xi had spoken, Yan Ruoshui and Chi Ganquan naturally would not object.
Guo Xi turned to look at Chen Chao and asked, "Ambassador Chen, are you okay?"
Chen Chao shook his head, just glanced at Mi Ke, and said with a smile, "This kind of matter should be left in a file at the county government office. The immortal masters will wait a moment."
Guo Xi smiled and nodded, while the other three remained silent.
Mi Ke was also an old man. He already knew Chen Chao's thoughts after just looking at each other. The two quickly walked into the county office and saw that Guo Xi and the others were no longer in sight. Mi Ke lowered his voice and said, "Brother Chen, this
These few people are not good people, especially the leader, who is moody and moody, so Brother Chen should be more careful."
Then he recounted everything that had happened before, including what happened when Guo Xi wanted to go to Chen Chao's home.
Chen Chao frowned and said softly, "I don't know what the purpose of these people is for the moment, but I would like to ask Brother Mi to write to the envoy Li Zhen immediately to inform him of the situation here."
Mi Ke nodded without any hesitation.
After that, Chen Chao gave some instructions. When he walked out of the county government again, Guo Xi among the four was still nonchalant, but Chi Ganquan and Yan Ruoshui had some impatient eyes.
There was a lot of undisguised disgust in Xiang Chen Chao's eyes.
Chen Chao cupped his hands towards Guo Xi and said with an apology, "I have kept several immortal masters waiting for a long time."
Guo Xi waved his hand, just urging Chen Chao to set off.
So after the three people left the county government, they quickly left the city and headed towards the mine that Chen Chao had visited before.
When they reached the foot of the mountain where the temple was located, Guo Xi smiled and asked, "Ambassador Chen Zhen, can you tell me about the situation of the Xuanming Mine?"
Chen Chao looked confused, "I have never been to that place. Didn't the Immortal Master know about it in advance?"
As if he was worried that Guo Xi would not know what was going on, Chen Chao even said uneasily, "That is an important place of the imperial court. Even I cannot break into that place without prior notice."
Guo Xi smiled and told Chen Chao not to worry, "We already got the news before we came here. The mining of the stone mine has ended. Now there is no one there, so we just went down to the mine to look for unusual ones.
Ore, try your luck."
Chen Chao breathed a long sigh of relief and said softly, "That's it."
After saying this, he then said, "Actually, regardless of whether there are people or not, the immortal masters are coming. Why don't we let the immortal masters go down to the mine to have a look?"
Seeing Chen Chao being so groveling to Guo Xi, who was not dealing with her senior brother, the woman couldn't help but sneer. At this moment, her heart was filled with hatred for Chen Chao, the young guardian envoy. She was even more disgusted with Chen Chao than before when she learned that Chen Chao was the
very.
Before approaching the mountain temple, Guo Xicai asked casually, "When we came here before, we didn't find any monsters around. I'm afraid it's all thanks to the work of the guardian Chen."
Chen Chao smiled, with some complacency on his face, but then he smiled bitterly, "I don't dare to deceive the immortal master. Originally, there were many monsters here, but a few years ago, a more powerful monster suddenly came and destroyed the surroundings.
All the monsters were driven away and they dominated this place, but unexpectedly, a sword cultivator passed by and killed the monster with one sword, and then there was peace for many years."
Chen Chao's expression did not change and he made up lies casually.
Guo Xi frowned, "Jian Xiu? Have you seen it?"
Chen Chao nodded, "I took a quick look at it from a distance, and saw that he was a swordsman in green clothes. He was walking with a sword, and the flying sword at his feet was amazing. It was green, like... spring weeds?"
"Spring weeds?"
Guo Xi frowned and said in disbelief, "Is it that person?"
Not only him, but also Chi Ganquan and Yan Ruoshui had a bit of horror in their eyes at this moment.
In fact, when
When Chen Chao said the words "spring weeds", they had almost locked in the identity of the sword cultivator.
Two years ago, a new sword that had been forged in Jianqi Mountain for a hundred years was released. The name of the sword was Weed. At that time, countless swordsmen climbed to Jianqi Mountain and wanted to take away the weed. However, in the end, it was taken away by a young man.
The sword cultivator took him away. The sword cultivator's whereabouts are uncertain, but if he can be recognized by Jianqi Mountain, he is destined to have great success in the future.
In fact, as early as the second month after he took away the weeds, news came that the sword cultivator had killed a demon cultivator in the Bitter Sea Realm with his sword.
Young swordsman? I’m afraid he’s a young fifth-level swordsman.
"Are there any other characteristics?"
A strange look flashed in Guo Xi's eyes.
Chen Chao was also stunned. He was just making it up casually. How could he know who it was?
Chen Chao shook his head and said with some shame, "I only saw it in the distance at that time, but I didn't get close, and I didn't see the sword cultivator's face clearly, but I saw the sword cultivator hovering between the mountains for a long time.
, I don’t know what I’m looking at.”
"You mean that sword cultivator has been hovering among these mountains for a long time?"
This time it was Yan Ruoshui. She couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen clearly? It's between these mountains?"
Chen Chao twitched his lips, nodded and said, "It's the mountain behind the mountain temple, close to the mine."
Anyway, the fabricated story has already begun, so Chen Chao added some more words, "The sword cultivator seemed to have said something else at that time. I was too far away, so I only heard one sentence, "What a good mountain or something."
…”
Although the story was made up, Chen Chao could probably guess from the looks on these people's faces that these people were looking for some unusual ore, which was just a random reason. As for the real reason, I'm afraid it was unknown.
So simple.
At this moment, the four young Qi practitioners all frowned. They had no doubts about what Chen Chao said, because they had already acquiesced in everything when Chen Chao mentioned the sword cultivator.
Finally arriving in front of the mountain temple, Chen Chao asked, "Fellow immortal masters, do you want to go in and rest for a while?"
"No, go to the mine immediately!"
The story that Chen Chao made up casually had already shaken his mind. At this moment, he just wanted to go to the mine as soon as possible to find out what happened and see if the efforts of the master had been wasted.
Chen Chao nodded, but could hardly hold back his laughter.
The few people quickly crossed the mountain temple, climbed over that mountain, and then climbed over another mountain. This time, the several Qi refiners moved forward without sparing any effort, not caring about the flow of Qi. Chen Chao followed them
Behind his back, he deliberately acted like he was exhausted
He looked like he was always lagging behind a few people by more than ten feet, and he was still out of breath.
After finally arriving at the official road, they stopped and waited for Chen Chao for a while.
They waited until Chen Chao caught up and then moved forward.
When he came to the mine again and stood above the huge pit, Chen Chao opened his mouth slightly and tried to look shocked.
Guo Xi and others paid no attention to Chen Chao's thoughts at this moment, and all took out the magic weapons they carried.
What Guo Xi took out was a small wooden compass, only the size of the palm of his hand. In the center of the compass was a crystal clear bead, which looked like something extraordinary. Yan Ruoshui took out a few small flags and slowly inserted them into the ground.
, the magic weapon Chi Ganquan took out was simpler, with only a bronze mirror.
Chen Chao looked at these miscellaneous magic weapons for the first time and was a little distracted. Before today, although he had killed two monks, they were either beaten to death by him very quickly, or they were too conceited to use them.
device.
Qi Refiners are a special branch among monks, so naturally these magical weapons are also special.
After Guo Xi took out the compass, his other hand that had been clenching his fist finally stretched out and pressed it on the compass.
The green light that was captured from Mi Ke's body before was now completely absorbed into the beads in the middle of the compass.
For a moment, the originally crystal clear bead suddenly bloomed with light.
Chi Ganquan cast his gaze with some unconcealable envy.
Yan Ruoshui couldn't help but look here. Fairy Yan from the Nantian Sect had a complicated expression in her eyes at this moment.
Guo Xi ignored the two of them at all, but closed his eyes tightly and muttered something.
After a moment, Guo Xi suddenly opened his eyes.
It's just that he didn't look into the pothole, but looked to the other side.
Yan Ruoshui lowered his head and glanced at the small flags that were only trembling slightly at the moment, with some anger in his eyes.
Chi Ganquan, on the other hand, has already put away his bronze mirror.
Compared with the magical weapons of Sanxi Mansion and Nantian Sect, he still knew very well how much he weighed.
Guo Xi had no expression on his face and walked towards the north of the pothole.
The others immediately followed.
Chen Chao walked at the back.
He quietly pressed the handle of the knife at his waist.
In just a moment, he retracted his hand as fast as lightning.
Because Guo Xi, who was walking at the front, turned to look at him.
