Wu Xuan looked at the muddy, poisonous spring swamp mixed with thin ice, and couldn't help but feel troubled. However, he immediately thought of one thing. Although this place was the territory of the Jincheng Sect, it was not of much value, and it was estimated that they would not
Some high-level monks were stationed for strict defense. Thinking about this, he took up the flying sword that his uncle Bai Xin had given him before, floated into the air, and headed straight to the north. After all, this was a violation of the agreements of various sects.
As a matter of course, he did not use all his strength to activate his spiritual energy. He only used the flying sword as a means of transportation across the swamp, and slowly headed north.
Fortunately, everything went well.
There were no monks to take care of him. The poisonous spring swamp was actually very dry and quiet. There were few traces of insects or birds. It took him four and a half hours until it was already dark before he descended from the clouds and stayed there.
At the southern edge of a town, I checked the map in my hand and found that I had reached the territory of the Qianshan Sect.
Wu Xuan originally had no illusions about being the deacon stationed in the Qianshan Sect. He had heard before that the Qianshan Sect was considered a poor place in the vicinity, and now seeing the small town called "Zhanchuan Town"
The conditions in this place were much better than what he had imagined, and he felt much calmer.
This place is on the edge of the swamp and sparsely populated. Naluochuan must be better than what he imagined. Wu Xuan had some guesses in his mind, so he randomly found a B&B run by Fansha and settled down here.
The folk customs were quite simple, prices were not high, and he had no strange feelings about himself as a human monk. Although the conditions in the room were simple, they were clean and tidy. Wu Xuan calmed down and felt a little homesick.
It is better to go out than to live peacefully at home.
He planned to settle down in Luochuan and move his family here. Since he did not have a deep foundation in the Qing Yu Sect and did not have the resources to connect with the superiors, he was already prepared to stay in Luochuan for a long time. Of course, other courtyards also
It may not necessarily be located in Luochuan. It depends on the intention of Jiang Feng, the head of the Qianshan Sect. He has some impressions of this name. It once appeared on the list of people exploring the ruins of Venerable Yuanchu, but they did not meet each other at the time.
time, and I don’t know what it looks like, but this kind of experience should be regarded as a kind of fate when talking about it, and it should be of some help.
Once it came, he settled for it. He immediately thought that it was useless to think too much, so he calmed down, gathered his energy and concentration, and once again thought about whether his loose cultivation could use this leisure to get more opportunities. Unfortunately, the aura here was lackluster.
Like water, I tried several times but failed to gain any understanding.
Taking a deep breath, he suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground. Although the amplitude was very small, he felt something different as his heart was as calm as water.
Earthquake?
He waited for a moment, but without waiting for the follow-up, he released all his spiritual consciousness and carefully sensed the changes around him. Soon, he realized that the change came from the west by north.
Someone was digging a hole nearby? He strolled out of the B&B, found a high place facing the wind, and looked to the west. In the dark night, he didn't find anything unusual. However, during the observation, he felt again
Three or four earthquakes, although they are slight, are really there if you feel them carefully.
What's going on?
Wu Xuan became interested in this unexpected discovery, but he quickly gave up the idea of going to visit. This was not the territory of the Qing Yu Sect, and it was taboo to pry into his sect's secrets. Thinking of this, Wu Xuan
I turned around and returned to the B&B. When I saw the owner, I asked casually:
"What kind of village is in the northwest of here?"
"Is this your first time here?" The owner of the B&B smiled, "The northwest is an uninhabited wasteland, but it was designated as a forbidden area within the sect a few months ago, so we can't go there at will.
"
Forbidden area?
Wu Xuan captured this key word, and thought that a small place like Qianshan Sect still has this concept? The thought that had just been extinguished in his heart quickly grew again. He pretended to nod casually, thanked the owner of the room, and walked back to the room.
, but after a while, he climbed out of the window, hid his breath, and went straight to the northwest.
Let me see what is going on in the forbidden area of Qianshan Sect? The so-called deacon of other courtyards also has the responsibility of spying. Although he does not expect to make many achievements in this position, Wu Xuan still has it in his heart.
According to some visions, although Qing Yuzong was chaotic and had too many rules, even to the extent that they were contrary to human nature, he believed that this was only temporary, and that he still had to fulfill his responsibilities in his position and in his political affairs.
There was no obstruction in the dark wasteland. Wu Xuan moved forward in a low-key manner. Later, he slowed down even more until he approached a wooden fence. This fence looked very crude. It was just made of a few dead trees tied randomly.
They are connected in series with hemp ropes. They look like ordinary barns used to raise livestock, which are very simple.
Near the fence, Wu Xuan found an obvious notice, which stated that this place had been designated as a forbidden area by the sect, and no monks or ordinary people were allowed to pass through this place.
It is rare to see such a bright sign. It is unlikely that there are any secrets hidden here. Wu Xuan couldn't help but let out most of the pride that suddenly appeared in his chest. However, even though he was here, he would not give up without taking a look, so he
Carefully push aside the hemp rope and enter this room.
What he saw was still a wasteland that was the same as the surroundings. Wu Xuan meandered forward until he saw several large holes that could accommodate a few people in and out. The darkness inside was unknown. He took a closer look at it for a moment. In addition to noticing what was inside,
Compared with the aura contained in the outside, there is not much difference between the air and the spiritual energy contained in the outside, except that it is a little rich. Even this richness may be due to psychological effects.
hiss!
Wu Xuan hesitated, thought for a moment, and then used strands of spiritual energy to saturate his body and act as a protective shield. He pinched a few more spiritual talismans before jumping into the cave.
Although the cave was deep, it was not tortuous. Wu Xuan descended carefully, and did not stop until he encountered a wide place. There were many forks in front of him. With the light of a luminous pearl in his hand, he could see that the entire damp passage was
The trend is spiraling downward, which means that the secret is hidden in the deepest part of this place.
Taking the risk, Wu Xuan continued to move forward. Half an hour later, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be back where he was. What happened? The path I chose was all the way down...
No, this seemed to be the effect of some kind of formation. Wu Xuan tried it again, but the result was still the same. He had a clear understanding in his heart. It was the formation that distorted his vision, causing [Ling Ling.] He was always in the same place.
Spin.
The problem is, he can't go back because of this.
Don't panic... Wu Xuan comforted himself several times in his heart, and his mind became much more stable. He found a fairly spacious room and sat cross-legged there. At the same time, he was thinking about how to escape from this formation.
As for the danger to his life, he thought that there would be no such thing. He was also a foundation-builder. Intelligence showed that the Qianshan Sect had no earth-level monks except the leader Jiang Feng. How many people could control him?
What? In terms of my ability to control talismans recently, I have improved a lot compared to when I entered the ruins of Venerable Yuan Chu.
…………
Qianshan Sect, Luo Chuan.
Jiang Feng had just learned about the "Tianhong" merchant ship. He learned that this merchant ship was a passenger and cargo ship that departed from Lou Bincheng, Emperor Yuzong of the Qing Dynasty, and headed to Tianluomen Pulan Port.
In this way, the former disciple Jiang Yunqi should have been on duty in the Qing Yu Sect. This fact can be compared with the recent rumors. Rumors say that some monks in the Qing Yu Sect were "robbed and kidnapped" from various places. I must have been there at the time.
After being separated from his apprentice, Jiang Yunqi did not follow his orders to return to the sect, but instead followed him. On the way, he encountered a monk from the Qing Yu Sect, so he had to compromise and work as an errand in the Qing Yu Sect.
The reason why I used the "Tianhong" to leave was probably to find a good opportunity to escape from the Qingyu Sect. However, this Tianluo Sect is thousands of miles away from the Qianshan Sect, and there are several sects in between, including Jiang Yun.
It will take some time for Qi to return to the Qianshan Sect.
Feeling slightly worried, Jiang Feng wondered whether he should use "Borrowing Objects to Transform Shadows" to do some divination to confirm his apprentice's current situation. However, he thought that he only had one divination opportunity left, so he might as well wait for a while. If there was no news about his apprentice yet, he would try again.
It's not too late to do divination. What's more, even if it is confirmed that he is in a foreign land, he has no time to look for it. The affairs affecting "Xinyuan County" are enough for him to worry about. Although he got some positive answers and answers from Yin Du
However, he still had no idea whether joining the "Jincheng Alliance" would go smoothly and whether he could realize his demands within the alliance.
Although Yin Du didn't say it clearly and made a sure promise, since he had made himself swear an oath, he would definitely keep his word and help get the support of the Qing Yu Sect. Zuo Zichan of Huanglongmen, since he sent
After the envoy came over, after he put forward the conditions, although he had not returned yet, thinking that he and Leng Tingtao also wanted to join the alliance and stand on their side, they must also support it and influence this matter to their interests.
The damage is not too big, because the only ones who use the Qianshan Sect's trade route are the Yufeng Sect and Ruijinmen. As for the Li Sect, there is a southwest passage to the sea.
However, this is only three votes.
It is actually difficult to use the rules to make Su Liqing spit out the hometown of Blackwater Gate. He can find many reasons to refuse the matter. After all, the alliance has just been established and the affairs of each sect are relatively independent. It is impossible to rely on voting to divide his sect's territory.
cases happen, otherwise, it would be too ridiculous, and the alliance would not be an alliance, but a trap.
But Yin Du finally emphasized that there was no need to worry about this matter.
Heart, he will find a way...
Should I believe him? Jiang Feng asked himself, secretly wondering if this was a scam. With his previous experience of committing suicide, Jiang Feng was really uneasy, but now that an arrow was on the string, he had to take action. Even if he was here, his own
Planning doesn't always come naturally.
It was time to leave. If he continued to sit here and wait, he would miss the "Feast of Spirits". He had already received an official document from Yufeng Sect, inviting himself as the leader and five Xuan-level monks in the sect to participate in the exploration.
During the Lingyong Feast, various issues were discussed to eliminate obstacles and open trade routes for various sects.
It went surprisingly smoothly...
Jiang Feng originally thought that there would be a dispute. Even in the best case scenario, there was no response and he waited for a change. Now, his rash communication has actually yielded good results. He watched the five coins in front of the case participate in the "Spiritual Feast"
"The mysterious level certificate felt so real and solid to the touch that Jiang Feng felt as if he was in a dream.
This couldn't be for his own sake. Jiang Feng was fully aware of this. It couldn't be for the sake of the "Silver Encourage Order". There must be a conspiracy. He immediately thought of Li Dabang's words in the bronze mirror.
With vague but confident eyes, he was thinking about what kind of situation this was.
Traveling south first, then north, the time is a little tight, but among the five Xuan-level places, who should I send to follow me? Thinking about it, if it only lasts for ten days, there is no need to worry about too much impact, theory
Frankly speaking, Wei Ruoguang, Zhou Xing, Zheng Yiyu and others are suitable. Should they be ranked based on seniority, or should they be selected by themselves, or should they be measured by other means?
Speaking of which, selfishly speaking, he actually liked the three candidates he thought of just now, but Zhou Xing had already taken leave to pay homage to the Hanshan Sect's hometown and had not returned yet. No matter how he set the rules, he missed this opportunity.
.
…………
The hometown of Hanshan Sect, Yuanshui Town.
After becoming the territory of the Yufeng Sect and experiencing a civil strife, the towns of the Hanshan Sect became even more depopulated, making them even more lonely and lonely compared to the previous situation.
Along the way, Zhou Xing felt a sense of sadness as things changed. He first went to Shuangju City with Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs, and with the other party's relevant people, they initially finalized the location and construction of the Qianshan Sect's Yufeng Sect's annex.
, rushed here in a hurry, and as usual, visited several elderly relatives who still lived here. After that, they bought a number of memorial tools and walked up the winding and steep mountain road to find a familiar place.
However, what he saw before him was a chaotic situation.
This cemetery, which originally had more than a dozen tombs, was destroyed by someone unknown. Zhou Xing couldn't help but feel anxious. He hurried forward and found that the tomb of the clan uncle was also within the damaged area, with broken coffins scattered around.
, cheap funerary objects that were thrown around randomly...
Who is it!?
Zhou Xing's eyebrows suddenly condensed, and a burst of uncontrollable anger came out of his body. As the spiritual energy was released, dust was scattered everywhere. He suddenly flew up with his sword and looked down at this place from an altitude of nearly a hundred feet. He saw people in the distance around him.
Several cemeteries were also vandalized.
Obviously, this destruction was not just for the clan uncle. Some villains deliberately destroyed this place and stole all the corpses nearby. The Hanshan Sect is located in the high cold, and this place is on the top of the mountain, covered with snow all year round, so the corpses will not rot for a long time.
Bad, could it be that this villain took a fancy to this?
Who did it?
Zhou Xing lingered in the air for a moment, then pressed the cloud head, picked up a few items that were suspected to be buried with his clan uncle, left some thoughts, then quickly went down the mountain and went straight to the market in the town. In the deserted market
After walking around for a few times, I found out about a few local snakes here. I followed the guidance of others and easily "held down" one of them. I used some simple and straightforward methods to get some clues.
Liu Yuandao of Nanping City?
It didn't sound like a famous person. Zhou Xing, who had been in Hanshan Sect for several years, had never heard of such a person nearby. He found a remote place and thought about the name in his mind. What the local snake just said
It should be accurate and detailed. After all, in order to survive, he, who is a spiritual-level practitioner, laid out the spiritual stones he collected and the portrait of the other party in front of the case.
It looked like he was going to Nanping City for a visit, but he didn't know if it would delay his return or be in danger. Thinking of this, he found a shop that also had a branch in Dayi County and wrote a short message.
, entrusting them to be sent to Dayi County, and asked the county governor Shen Junmao to report to the head Jiang Feng if there is anything to report. This is the principle he has been following since he was appointed as the governor of Donghu County.
…………
Qianshan Sect, Luo Chuan.
After waiting for Huanglongmen's affirmative reply, Jiang Feng finally decided to leave for the south immediately.
