The new discovery comes from the perception of shadows. The reason why Jiang Feng can lean on the stone tablet safely and ask his disciples about the past of Taihua, the spirit of the black snake, is because there are shadows wandering in the nearby shadows to investigate and guard against lurking.
danger.
Originally everything was under control.
After all, most of the grave sweepers from nearby Fuyun City would come here during the day to pay homage to their relatives and friends, and no one would travel at night. However, Shadow discovered that there was an inexplicable shadow wandering around and patrolling this cemetery.
It seems to be guarding something.
I have to say, this is a tooth-ache-inducing discovery!
With the help of shadow perception, Jiang Feng and his two apprentices carefully approached the strange thing and hid beside another deserted grave. They looked at the strange figure from a distance, meandering in the grass. It was almost the same as ordinary people.
Gao has a nearly translucent body. If it weren't for the bending of the grass when moving around, as well as some scattered strips of cloth still remaining on the body, few people would easily discover their existence in the dark night.
Further observation revealed that there was more than just "one" such mysterious existence. There were three existences nearby that were suspected to be Yin spirits but also looked like spirit puppets. Their patrolling paths had certain intersections, and at those intersections,
It is a tomb with well-preserved tombstones.
Are they guarding this place?
This is the most direct answer. The question is, what can be in this tomb?
As a cemetery close to Fuyun City, the abandoned capital of the Biyun Sect, there may be monks buried here, but there will definitely not be high-end burial objects, otherwise they would have been poached and sold for money by interested people, so there will be no guards.
Value, unless this barren tomb has special meaning to the owner of the spirit puppet.
"Go and have a look!" A childish voice came from behind, it was the black snake spirit Taihua who had not yet returned to Jiang Feng's body.
"Hush!" Jiang Chengzi put his index finger to his mouth and scolded in a low voice, "This thing is also intelligent."
"Of course I know. But is it useful to hide here all the time?"
"It makes sense, then you go and lure them away?"
"It's better to attract something that looks like a ghost." The black snake spirit looked at the two people crouching on the ground, "You won't let your master go, will you?"
"Master, I'll go!" Jiang Zhiwen volunteered after being provoked by Taihua.
"Master, there are still three golden-haired diggers here, so you don't need to take risks." Jiang Feng thought for a while, maybe this refined monster is enough. This is suspected to be a ghostly ghost, but also like a spirit puppet. It's unknown how strong it was in life.
There was no need for his disciples to risk testing, so he quietly released three golden-haired diggers and headed towards the three ghosts respectively.
Sure enough, the aura of the golden-haired digger quickly attracted the attention of the ghost. However, their speed was no slower than that of the golden-haired digger. They soon chased closer and closer. Jiang Feng immediately asked several monsters to start digging.
The ground was hidden in the soil in a moment. The ghost could not enter, but it was attracted by the blood emanating from the monster and kept patrolling nearby, temporarily deviating from the original patrol route.
"Walk!"
Jiang Feng flew quickly and went straight to the intersection where the ghost was patrolling before. Soon, he discovered this tomb. Except that it was slightly larger and there was less grass in front of the tomb, it was not much different from the surrounding tombs. It was completely preserved.
On the tombstone, there are a few words engraved:
"The Tomb of My Beloved Daughter Qingyi"
Who is this?
Jiang Feng thought for a moment, but could not find anything about this name in his memory. It seemed that this person had nothing to do with him. Under the visit of "Linglong Baoguang", the tombstone was also ordinary and had nothing special about it.
But in the soil at the corner of the tombstone, there seemed to be something slightly emitting green light.
Um?
Jiang Feng reached into the soil, silently muttering "Sorry to bother you" in his mind, and pulled out a green jade talisman from the soil more than a foot deep.
This jade talisman is not a pure magic weapon. It is just slightly engraved with some magic circles that have no great function. The patterns on it are not exquisite, and the shape is not beautiful. However, it can be seen that this jadeite has been around for some years. It is not
It was recently carved, and the brown rope on it is slightly worn. It seems that it has been worn on the body for a long time, and there is no trace of decay.
In other words, someone recently paid homage to the owner of this tomb and buried this object here.
It seems that the owner of this tomb has some background. What kind of person is he who can let three ghosts guard here? Just as he was thinking about it, a thought suddenly broke out in his mind. It was that a ghost had succeeded and successfully swallowed a golden retriever.
Digging tiger, Jiang Feng quickly called his apprentice and the black snake spirit who was still curiously observing everywhere, and returned to the exploration point just now. Sure enough, the successful ghost quickly returned to its original path and continued to patrol here.
The black energy on his body is getting thicker, and he has benefited a lot from the hunt just now.
Feeling a pain in his heart, he ordered the other two golden-haired diggers to dig quickly and no longer attract the ghost. Soon, the three ghosts returned to their original patrol route. Jiang Feng was also able to recover the two monsters and asked Jiang Chengzi to feed them.
After feeding it for a while, I carefully put it away.
"What on earth is this thing?"
Jiang Feng held the jade talisman in his hand and suddenly thought about what it had to do with him. Taking someone else's relic as a memorial seemed to be a very unkind act.
Forget it, we still have to travel during the day, and this ghost will hide at dawn. He can just return it to the owner of the tomb when the time comes, so there is no need to worry about it.
In a moment of impulsiveness, I actually lost a monster, which was a loss. I breathed out lightly, thinking that the night was long, and since I couldn't sleep, I had better do business.
The first thing to do now is to take stock of the losses incurred during this trip to the swamp.
He originally explored Song Weiduo's tomb with Lei Youqi and the prefecture-level monk Fan Xihai he invited. The three of them agreed on the distribution ratio of the treasures in advance. However, in order to escape the harm of the "Blood River Soul Pearl", Fan Xihai secretly murdered Song Weiduo.
He himself was killed by the strange "Blood River Soul Pearl" because of his greed for money, and the things on his body fell into the hands of Jiang Feng and Lei Youqi.
Jiang Feng received sixteen third-level spiritual stones, but among them were ten that he had paid for in advance. The rest were mainly twenty-five second-level elixirs of poor quality, "Tiger Transforms Cloud Shaking Pill", and others.
The talismans and elixirs were both of little value, and Jiang Feng had already distributed some of them to his three apprentices.
Jiang Feng got four of the eight pieces of Song Weiduo's relics. As for how many spiritual stones he can sell, he still has to wait until he returns to the sect and finds a shop for appraisal. At first, Jiang Feng, Lei Youqi and other "Wu Yi"
"When the team members explored the tomb together and obtained the sickle-shaped magic weapon, they estimated its value to be about twelve third-level artifacts. However, it should be one of the two best treasures here. The quality of these four pieces should be among the best.
Jiang Feng estimates that the total value of these four relics will not exceed twenty-five third-level treasures, or even less. Including the divided spiritual stones, it should be able to repay the Shangguan.
Bo Liang's first payment, as for the gift he needs to give to Chu Yiming, may wipe out the remaining inventory.
Lei Youqi was besieged and killed by Su Liqing and several others. Except for temporarily placing a ray of spiritual thought into Jiang Feng's mind, the rest, including the corpses and property, were looted by Su Liqing's men. Jiang Feng did not gain anything. Even if he did, he would not
He would look for Lei Youqi's family and find a way to return the things to his descendants. Although Jiang Feng didn't know, maybe Kuang Shucai, who was the first to cooperate with Lei Youqi, could know some details. Although he didn't leave any property behind, Jiang Feng wanted to
, once he has solved the current predicament and has more money, he should go find his clan members and give him some compensation, or simply move to the Qianshan clan and do his best to take care of them.
Fan Xihai had nothing on him except his robes and ordinary personal belongings. However, to his surprise, Jiang Feng found a special-shaped bead on a string of fine beads around his neck, with a slight injection of spiritual power.
It turned out to be a storage bag. When the person died, Jiang Feng quickly cracked the restrictions on it, and the items inside were clearly visible.
These are nearly a hundred books related to alchemy, a few are jade slips, and a few are supposed to be alchemy experience notes. In addition, there are more than twenty kinds of alchemy materials stored in jade boxes for disciple Jiang Zhiwen to identify.
, being able to recognize most of them, mostly second-level, and a few third-level, he simply handed this string of beads with a secret storage bag to Jiang Zhiwen, and asked him to sort it out and read it carefully in his spare time. If there is anything unclear,
Jiang Feng will find a way to help him find a suitable alchemy master to answer the question later.
If you want to find and purchase this pile of alchemy-related items, you will need a lot of spiritual stones and effort. Now that you have them, it can be considered a big gain. However, it will not help improve Jiang Feng's current situation, but it will help his apprentice.
, Jiang Feng was also happy with the success, at least for this kind of items, sometimes even if you have spiritual stones, you may not be able to buy them.
The second thing Jiang Feng remembered was related to Li Youde. He had previously considered Ruijinmen's broken appointment and Li Yufeng's visit to Nuangu County. Later, he quietly missed it because he suddenly considered other things. Now
When I calmed down and thought about it carefully, I realized that this was a big problem.
If Li Youde was incited by Li Yufeng to do something harmful to the sect, that would be troublesome. From another perspective, Li Yufeng should know the consequences of Ruijinmen's breach of contract, that is, he may be under house arrest by the Jincheng sect for a long time, so if there is something between the two
If there is a means of communication, such as a magical weapon such as the "Thousand-mile Yin-Yang Mirror", will it encourage Li Youde to do some secret things to maximize the interests of the Qianshan Sect?
Jiang Feng could not predict whether Li Yufeng would do this, and how Li Youde would react if the other party did what he expected, or what the outcome of this matter would be.
But it is still necessary to prevent the worst possibility in advance. Thinking of this, he took out another set of "Thousand-mile Yin-Yang Mirror" that was used to contact the Mirror Department Zheng Yiyu. According to the code agreed in advance, he thought for a moment and wrote a line:
I hope he can see it in time. Considering the distance between here and Asanshan Zongluochuan, it is not optimistic whether he can be contacted.
"It's safe now, the return date is uncertain, and it's cheap to do it."
Jiang Feng felt that this sentence should represent his current state, and the shrewd Zheng Yiyu should realize that the sudden "report of safety" was not something he was talking about alone. After all, he was not a relative of the head of his family.
, he is not responsible for the safety of the leader on weekdays, but is responsible for the order within the sect. What's more, there are four words of "doing it cheaply" that can summarize his intentions.
This move was to nip problems in the bud. After all, it was still unknown whether Li Youde would do anything harmful to the sect. Without evidence, he openly doubted his subordinates, so it was taboo for him to do so.
After doing this, Jiang Feng felt relieved. However, there were some things that were difficult to deal with without returning to the sect. For example, the problems in Tuqiao Town and Donghu County had to wait until he returned to Luochuan.
, depending on the attitude of the Jincheng sect, what we can do now, besides being careful about rumors, is to take a detour back to the Qianshan sect as soon as possible, and take a road trip.
After Zhitu Mountain was betrayed by Ruijinmen, Jiang Feng felt that the friendship of Luoyingmen was even more important to him.
Thinking of Donghu County, last time Dou Jinqiu mentioned the problem of letting himself be the go-between to make peace. This time after the confrontation with Su Liqing, things have become even more difficult to handle. There may be undesirable consequences coming one after another. However, presumably,
A chamber of commerce like the Changning Chamber of Commerce, with prefectural-level monks in charge, would not be easily overturned by this storm, and would probably have made preparations in advance.
…………
Jincheng Sect, Lelin City.
Dou Jinfan was dressed in a brocade robe. Behind him stood a silent Dou Jinqiu and two important stewards of the Chamber of Commerce. They were waiting for Leng Tingtao to meet in the foyer of the City Lord's Mansion. There seemed to be a lot of visitors tonight, and people kept coming in and out.
Dou Jinfan knew some of them, but on this occasion, neither party could say much. They just said hello lightly and said goodbye in a hurry.
"Brother Rulin."
A warm and warm smile appeared on Dou Jinfan's face, and he met Li Rulin who came out of the city lord's reception room. He came to visit today, and he followed Li Rulin's path. Although the Changning Chamber of Commerce and the Leng Family Chamber of Commerce actually controlled by Li Rulin had no business contacts,
There are many, but there are few conflicts. When we were suppressed before, we even cooperated secretly.
"The Lord of the City is tired today, why not go to my house." Li Rulin smiled. He naturally knew Dou Jinfan's purpose of coming today. The Changning Chamber of Commerce entered the Jincheng Sect to do business. It was first introduced by Jiang Feng, the leader of the Qianshan Sect. Now, Jiang Feng and the leader
Due to Su Liqing's enmity, as a being with a special label, the Changning Chamber of Commerce may encounter many overt or covert blows. Of course, without Su Liqing's approval, these blows will not have much effect.
Su Liqing's attitude is still unclear. This is the result of Leng Tingtao telling Li Rulin, and it is also the main reason why Leng Tingtao does not want to see Dou Jinfan for the time being. Therefore, if his closest aide Li Rulin comes to meet him, there will be enough information for subsequent processing.
Flexibility can be controlled.
"Excuse me, please come to our side first, but don't make any promises."
Li Rulin thought of Leng Tingtao's promise, and the smile on his face grew stronger, "Brother Jinfan, I have prepared some wine at home, how about we go back home and have a detailed chat?"
"That's very good. Brother Rulin is right. It's late at night and it's really not appropriate to disturb City Lord Leng's rest." The trace of depression on Dou Jinfan's face dissipated in an instant. Following Li Rulin's guidance, the two of them stepped forward one after the other.
As an old man who has been working hard in the business world for several years, he can guess Leng Tingtao's true intention of not wanting to meet him, but he knows that in the Jincheng sect where various forces are mixed, one more person
The support of a local-level monk is extremely valuable. Therefore, Leng Tingtao also needs him. He is just like himself for the time being and does not want to be tied to the other party. In fact, if it were not for the fact that the Changning Chamber of Commerce's properties are all in the central and northern part of the Jincheng sect,
, he recently found a more straightforward way to vote for Zuo Zichan, the lord of Shuanglong City.
Jiang Feng proposed marriage to the Su family at this time, but refused full-scale trade. This decision was too hasty. Dou Jinfan couldn't help but thought to himself. However, he also doubted whether the rumor that suddenly spread throughout the city was reliable and whether it was Jincheng.
What is the actual situation of the smoke that Pai deliberately released? He has promised a large price to buy the truth about this matter on the black market, but has not received a reply in a hurry.
Caught between the Jincheng Sect and the Qianshan Sect, the truth behind this matter is really crucial to the Changning Chamber of Commerce. This is why he wanted to join Leng Tingtao first before the situation became unclear.
The corner carriage gradually drove away. Dou Jinfan in the carriage did not know that at this time, Leng Tingtao in the city lord's palace was also very anxious. After hurried back from the south, he had been sorting out the ins and outs of Su Liqing's actions.
Planning, on the one hand, is to learn the other party's methods and analyze one's own shortcomings; on the other hand, it is also to guess the other party's next move.
Having an enmity with Jiang Feng, no matter Su Liqing or the Jincheng faction, there is no need to worry about the other party's retaliation due to the difference in personal cultivation and sect size, but for Leng, who has just reached a four-party agreement with Jiang Feng, Tu Shan, and the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce.
According to Tao, this temporary alliance is unsustainable.
Especially for the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce, Su Liqing, the head of the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce, has clearly stated his willingness to cooperate. It is estimated that the Dongfang President of the Lingcage Chamber of Commerce will meet with Su Liqing soon, and if nothing unexpected happens, a comprehensive cooperation will be achieved, except for the loss of
In addition to his own future interests, Leng Tingtao was even more worried that he would become an outcast of the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce, which would lead to the contents of the previous cooperation being presented to Su Liqing. Fortunately, no agreement on paper was reached at that time, only verbal recognition.
, don’t worry about being directly caught.
Even if he is caught, Su Liqing, who is also at the prefecture level, cannot do anything to him, but morally, Su Liqing can stand on the commanding heights and, together with several other prefecture level monks, openly squeeze his own interests, so what should he do?
good?
In addition, the other three prefecture-level monks in the sect, Zuo Zichan, Liu Kuiyi and Sun Baotai, will they cooperate with the Qianshan Sect when the leader Su Liqing keeps it secret and forcibly uses the leader's imperial order in an attempt to merge the Qianshan Sect with kindness and power?
Just like myself, if I have other ideas, especially Sun Baotai, he must have been taken advantage of by Su Liqing, right? Should I find a way to avoid Su Liqing and have a frank talk with them?
This requires extremely secretive contacts, but before that, maybe I need to get in touch with people from the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, Leng Tingtao thought to himself.
