This is a frontier city in the south of Li Zong with a history of a hundred years. It is surrounded by rolling hills and sparsely populated. If it weren’t for the fact that the neighboring human nation Wei State had deliberately kept a distance from the demon clans and sects for a long time, this place would be much better than it is now.
It will be much more prosperous. However, secretly all kinds of smuggling trade is quite prosperous here, especially after the new city lord Pu Changling was replaced last year, it has been banned repeatedly and has become more and more intense.
In the back garden of the city lord's mansion, several people in strange clothes were drinking tea with the city lord Pu Changling. To outsiders, these men had thick gray cloths on their heads and the women wore black sarongs. Their attire was completely inconsistent with the situation here.
The merchant seems to be from the Western Wilderness tribe in the far northwest.
After the guests and hosts exchanged greetings, Pu Changling dismissed all the attendants on the left and right. He was nearly fifty years old and had a profound level of cultivation. He quickly stood up, sat down at the guest seat, and gave up the main seat.
"Senior Meng, I wonder if you have anything to do with me during your trip?" He looked around. The men and women who came this time all had unfamiliar faces, except for this Xuan-level perfection monk who was only known as "Meng"
, is the only person here who can strike up a conversation.
Seeing the token is like meeting the president. Since the other party showed a black gold token, he has confirmed the identity of the visitor and immediately made appropriate arrangements.
"Prepare a secluded place, preferably without any people around." The monk known as "Meng" did not move, but stretched out his hand to invite the veiled woman next to him to come to the main seat.
"This is easy to handle. I can deal with it later."
"In addition, find at least twenty monks, the kind who don't have any worries."
"No worries?" Pu Changling's mouth twitched, "Senior Meng, what do you mean?"
"I have a special use for these twenty people. Basically, you can think that they are dead after they are handed over to me. Do you understand?"
"understand."
Pu Changling has recently heard that a monk disappeared in the nearby Fangtu City. Could it be that someone from the organization did it? With his Xuan-level cultivation, he actually obtained the position of city lord through the operation of the organization, and his status in the chamber of commerce is not high.
Naturally, I didn't dare to ask any more questions, "I don't know what the restrictions are on my cultivation level. My cultivation level is shallow, so I'm afraid I still need..."
"Spirit level is enough. Aren't the Kuang Lang Gang your people? Just let them do it and pay attention to clearing up the beginning and the end."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Pu Changling was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly resigned on the pretext of going to work. As a low-key medium-sized gang in the city, the Kuanglang Gang was indeed one of his people secretly. He thought he was the only one
I knew it, but I didn't expect it to be hidden from the organization.
"This man is not loyal and cannot be used for long." After he walked away, the woman covered in black gauze whispered.
"Yes, but everything is under our control, Master Zuo, there is no need to worry."
"Find a suitable place as soon as possible. I'm afraid the 'Taobao' won't be able to control this thing for too long."
She stretched out her right arm from her wide sleeves and saw a frog-like red-eyed monster sitting there on her white wrist. In the center of its grass-green back covered with mucus, there was a lingering mass.
The scattered black air lingered around. This black air seemed to be highly poisonous, which brought a lot of pain to the monster named "Taibao", making it look around and feel restless. At this time, a bean-sized
The white pill was handed over, and the monster's blood-red tongue suddenly rolled up and he swallowed the pill. The red light in his eyes slowly receded, and then he calmed down.
"The same goes for monks. If we find someone with the right dharma, who can restrain this black energy after being separated, then we will have a good killing weapon that we can use."
"Yes." None of the three people, including Meng, dared to reply easily.
"I heard that you also lost two bottles of semi-finished products?"
"Yes, we are trying our best to trace the whereabouts. Mo Qiuquan died by self-explosion, and the remaining items have been cleaned up by the Chixiamen monks who arrived in advance. Unfortunately, we have no one who can divine for the time being."
"I told the president a long time ago
But, don't put all your resources on him alone." The woman's eyes were slightly dark, "Is there anything I can do in the Chai World Realm?"
"The remaining soul of Mo Qiuquan has dissipated."
"Forget it, don't mention him again. Do we still owe him a condition?"
"The president has asked Li Youshi to do his best. Pills similar to the fourth-level awakening method are not that easy to find. If things go wrong, we can only try our luck at the Zhengqi Alliance's auction."
"I will remember this, and he can afford to wait. Our chamber of commerce is about credibility." Before she finished speaking, the monster on her arm suddenly let out a cooing cry.
"Quick, protector!"
Hearing this familiar voice, the remaining three people seemed to have been prepared. Three light masks of different colors were instantly launched, blocking all the sounds and spiritual energy fluctuations here.
…………
When Jiang Feng arrived in Donghu County, he was catching up with Zhou Xing returning from an inspection tour. Several family members and apprentices, except Chen Xin, were all with him. Judging from the dark colors on the faces of these young men, Zhou Xing was very important in general affairs.
Still working hard.
"Master!" As soon as they entered the ruined temple, they saw Jiang Feng and Ding Lingyu. Before they could even cast the cleaning charm, they immediately came over to salute.
"Thank you for your hard work! How are things going here?"
"It's okay. Although things are a lot and complicated, it's going smoothly. Qiu Danian, the manager, is also very cooperative and helps a lot. Both the aborigines and the newly moved ordinary people have now settled down.
"
"If there is a lack of spirit stones, report it to the sect." Jiang Feng looked around. The furnishings here were a bit exaggeratedly simple.
"There is no shortage yet, but there is a shortage of people, especially monks. I have recently circled a special area in East Lake to raise green-backed water turtles. The effect is not bad, but this kind of monster is a bit dangerous for ordinary people to raise, especially
It's at night, and monks must be there to take care of it."
"I will send a monk over later, who is my new disciple." Jiang Feng naturally refers to Jiang Yunqi, who has no one to preach and can only live free-range. "Also, there is a man named Zhang Sixi here. Have you met him?"
"I've seen it before. It was his idea to raise blue-backed water turtles. The apprentice you mentioned, Master, is the child next to him?"
"That's right," Jiang Feng then remembered that he had told Zhou Xing to contact Zhang Sixi. Jiang Yunqi had naturally seen him, unless Zhang Sixi hid him.
"He is in East Lake with Chen Xin, but he didn't say he was your apprentice, otherwise how could I dare to ask him to take care of the turtle?"
"In this case, what is special about my apprentice? In the past six months, he has been practicing by your side. You can help me guide him." Jiang Feng secretly thought that Donghu County is still too small, with only a few monks.
, naturally they will meet sooner or later. Now that Jiang Yunqi has "mixed" into this circle, it is naturally excellent.
Leaving a few first-level magic weapons for Zhou Xing's disciples, Jiang Feng took off the Ruyi Flying Boat and flew towards the area where Zhou Xing mentioned raising spirit tortoises. Zhou Xing was busy with general affairs here, if he could also fly with one
The magic weapon can speed up the work efficiency. Unfortunately, this flying magic weapon is valuable, and it requires a bowl of water to be balanced. If you give it to Zhou Xing, you have to give it to Shen Junmao. Even Li Youde, who is an official with his own spiritual stone, has to be present.
I mean, although he probably doesn't need it.
Next time you meet Shangguan Xiuqi, you should ask if there is a cheap and easy-to-use flying magic weapon to sell to you. However, because the bargaining was too "excessive" before, Shangguan Xiuqi "deliberately forgot" to leave his contact information. This is true.
It's a little embarrassing.
By the way, he is Chu Yiming's fiancée. How could he forget this? Jiang Feng recalled his experience at Xiaoxiang Pavilion and suppressed a smile. He wondered if the impostor would be willing to build a bridge for them to meet each other.
If you really can't do yourself a favor, you can only go to "Jiuxingfang" and ask. After all, Shangguan Xiuqi is the landlord, and there is no reason why the tenant cannot contact the landlord.
With the guide Wei Zhe sent by Zhou Xing, Jiang Feng quickly found the old house where Chen Xin and Jiang Yunqi lived.
, this old house was built on an isolated island with dense vegetation. It should be a temporary residence for fishermen to avoid wind and rain.
"Hey, do you still remember that you have me as your apprentice?"
Jiang Yunqi was full of emotions when he came up. He put his little hands on his waist, muttered and was very angry. Wei Zhe and Chen Xin were stunned when they saw it, and they couldn't even say anything. No matter what happened,
They don't dare to mess with the leader like this.
"You are just spoiled by your family. Look how much Wei Zhe and Chen Xin know how to respect their teachers." Jiang Feng ordered him a gooseberry, smiled and found a shabby futon that was about to fall apart and sat down, "Why?
Didn’t Master come to see you?”
"You are not their master, you are the leader."
"You are my apprentice, is it possible that I am not your leader?"
"That's different." Jiang Yunqi couldn't resist Jiang Feng, so he found a hard bench and sat down facing Jiang Feng. However, he still gave Jiang Feng a plate of freshly picked fruits on the island. He was much more polite than when he accepted his apprentice before.
, it seems that in daily life, he is still affected by a few people, and he no longer looks like a pampered and wealthy young man.
The fruit was not a type available on the market. It was only about the size of a thumb, purple and black with slight white spots, and was extremely sour in the mouth. Only when it reached the throat did it have a sweet aftertaste. Jiang Feng tasted a few and felt that it contained a touch of aura.
This is a little-known spiritual fruit.
"When I see your master later, it seems that there is a way to mention this purple-black fruit to him." Jiang Feng gestured to Wei Zhe and Chen Xin, who were standing upright, and asked them to find a place to sit down. The two children were sitting beside him.
In front of this leader, he is still too reserved.
"Yes. Leader!" The voices of the two of them were clear and clear.
"Bring it here?" Jiang Yunqi stretched out his little hand. His originally white and tender hand had a lot of vertical and horizontal cracks. It seemed that he had suffered a lot here. Seeing this, Jiang Feng felt a trace of sadness in his heart.
"What?" Jiang Feng pretended not to understand.
"Where's the gift?"
"You kid, you don't look like a disciple at all." Jiang Feng smiled and didn't argue with him. He took out a shield-shaped magic weapon. This and several other magic weapons were left to Zhou Xing's apprentice.
He purchased them all in Luochuan's shop before leaving Luochuan, and this shield-shaped magic weapon has the best attributes.
Water-colored floating light shield, a first-order medium-grade magic weapon, with attribute 1 [Body Protection], after injecting spiritual power, it opens the shield to protect the whole body. The effect is equivalent to the effect of the second-order water shield talisman; attribute 2 [Water Escape], in
When activated underwater, you can hide in the water without breathing for up to half an hour. In the water, the shield's protective effect is doubled.
This shield is very suitable for use in the East Lake area. After all, the water here is very wide. If you encounter an enemy, you can dive into the water to avoid it. Although Donghu County belongs to the Qianshan Sect and is guarded by Zhou Xing, a Xuan-level monk, the probability of encountering a murderer is low.
, but a little more safety is always good.
In addition, Jiang Feng also left him an ordinary first-level dagger, which made Wei Zhe and Chen Xin, who still did not dare to sit down and only dared to stand aside, feel envious. After giving him some careful instructions, Jiang Feng led Ding Ling
Yu crossed the lake and flew towards Zhang Sixi's shop according to the guidance given by Jiang Yunqi.
As soon as he landed and before he could stand still, he saw Zhou Xing already waiting nearby. I was surprised that Zhou Xing came up to him first.
"Master, Nuangu County urgently sent two boxes and a letter."
Li Youde?
Because Li Youde's appointment had been approved by the presbytery, and the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao had also sent additional supervisors, Jiang Feng was too lazy to do so due to the busy schedule of general affairs. He issued a formal document and directly sent the supervisor appointed by Wang Xiandao with his seal, ribbon and private message.
Fuyuan Town was dealing with matters related to Li Youde's appointment as the governor of Nuangu County. Unexpectedly, the other party would have news so soon.
What's in this box? It's newly painted in vermilion and not tightly sealed.
Jiang Feng opened it casually and saw two bloody heads inside.
