Ning Yi and Gui Hua looked into each other's eyes, with a helpless smile on their faces.
Sure enough, these old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years are not only cunning, but also a little shameless. It is too much of a scoundrel to use forgetfulness as an excuse for such an important matter.
"Before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Dimu Mountain was under the rule of the Dixian Sect with a radius of thousands of miles."
Xuan Gui didn't pay attention to the little actions of the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Although the power of the Earth Immortal Sect has shrunk a lot now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Rongcheng is under the control of the Lushan Hou Zhao family, there are still many places in it.
As the property of the Immortal Sect, our goal is the Diling Pavilion in the city."
"Diling Pavilion?"
Ning Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "It sounds like a trading company."
"Yes, it's just a trading house."
Xuan Gui nodded and said: "It's not a big business, it mainly sells some Earthly Immortal Sect spiritual items, but the owner in charge of this business, named Xiao Shi, is a registered disciple of the Earthly Immortal Sect's outer sect.
Our target is this registered disciple."
"How is your cultivation?"
"Eighth level of Qi training."
Ning Yi and Gui Hua glanced at each other, with doubts on their faces. After counting, Ning Yi asked: "What does the mission require us to do?"
"It's very simple."
Xuan Gui said with a smile: "Let Xiao Shi know the secret of the mine, and die in the mine, so that no one can tell that we are up to something."
"It seems like Xiao Shi is just an introduction."
The corner of Gui Hua's mouth slightly curled up and he analyzed: "The death of Xiao Gui has attracted the attention of the Earth Immortal Sect. What makes me confused is that Xiao Shi is just an ordinary registered disciple of the outer sect, and he is also an insignificant existence in the Earth Immortal Sect. Since
Even if he dies, the Earthly Immortal Sect won't spend much effort on his behalf. With Zhao's strength, he can completely erase this matter. If so, wouldn't we have done it in vain? "
"It does make some sense."
Xuan Gui smiled and nodded, his eyes fell on Ning Yi, and asked with a smile: "What do you think."
"I agree with Gui Hua's analysis."
Ning Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Xiao Shi is just an introduction, but the choice of this introduction is a bit confusing, and it is difficult to make sense. Since the task has been assigned by the above, it must have a purpose, so,
This Xiao Shi is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface."
"This is a good idea."
Gui Hua glanced at Ning Yi approvingly and said, "Either he has hidden his cultivation or he has hidden his identity. If Xiao Shi is the nail sent by the Dixian Sect to Rongcheng to monitor the movements of the Zhao family branch in Rongcheng. He
His death will indeed attract the attention of the Earth Immortal Sect."
"In that case, why didn't the superiors tell us directly?"
Ning Yi frowned slightly. This guess could explain the rationality, but he always felt that something was missing, and said: "Telling us will only make us more useful in completing the task. This is not an assessment, everything should be completed to complete the task first.
"
"Hey, who knows."
Xuan Gui chuckled lightly and said, "Perhaps, the two pillars think we can think of something."
"All right."
Ning Yi smiled and could only think like this for the time being.
"In general, this task is relatively easy."
Xuan Gui made a periodic summary and ended the discussion. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be extremely satisfied with the judgments of Gui Hua and Ning Yi, "Of course, the rewards are not many. However, this time has just begun, so
Don't rush it. In the future, we will have to fight some tough battles."
Of this, the two of them had no doubt.
The purpose of the imperial court is to turn Yunzhou into a quagmire that swallows everything. How to repair this quagmire is very simple. Disrupt the order here, the more chaotic the better. Naturally, in this process, there is no secret push from the Secret Shadow Division.
This time, it's just the beginning.
"Let's go."
Xuan Gui took the lead and walked towards Rongcheng, saying: "Guesses are always guesses. You will know the result once you enter the city."
…………
Rongcheng is not big, with a population of about 100,000.
This place is close to Dimu Mountain and not far from the main city of the Lushan Marquis Zhao family, so the whole courtyard looks extremely peaceful and peaceful. The war that threatens the entire Yunzhou does not seem to have affected this place.
The three of them were dressed as monks and entered the city. The guards only asked a few questions. When they learned that the three of them were here to purchase Huangyuan Stone, they respectfully let them pass.
The mine controlled by the Zhao family is the Huangyuan Stone Mine.
Huangyuan Stone is a spiritual material for refining earth-attribute magic weapons. Although most of them can only be used as low-level magic weapons, the output of the mines here is extremely high, and the purity is not bad, so the profits can be very considerable.
After entering the city, the three of them stayed at an inn like ordinary businessmen. Then they asked Bao to inquire, pretending to ask where they could buy a large amount of cheap Huangyuan Stone. Bao inquired and recommended several places, one of which was Dimu Pavilion.
Yes, Diling Pavilion also sells Huangyuan Stone.
Of course, the price is also quite advantageous compared to Zhao's. Because there are a lot of this kind of ore near Dimu Mountain.
After lunch, the three of them went their separate ways.
Xuan Gui has the highest level of cultivation, so the task of exploring the mine will undoubtedly fall on him. Since Xiao Shi is to die in the mine, it is natural that he must first understand the terrain. If the information is correct, there is really something deep in the mine.
A fairy eye must be guarded by someone with low cultivation level.
Among the three, on the surface, only Xuan Gui is capable of the job.
Gui Hua collected specific information about Xiao Shi in the city to see if there was anything that could be used to allow Xiao Shi to enter the mine without being suspicious of the Secret Shadow Division. Ning Yi's task was very simple. Contact Xiao Shi.
, to determine his true identity.
After assigning the task, the three of them took action immediately.
A quarter of an hour later, Ning Yi arrived in front of the Diling Pavilion.
The waiter greeted him enthusiastically. Ning Yi showed a little bit of his cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Realm. His terrifying spiritual power flashed away. The waiter's face suddenly became more respectful. He let Ning Yi in and asked respectfully:
"Sir, the shop sells all kinds of magic weapons. Most of them are from the Dixian Sect and are of high quality. We, the shop owners, have connections in the Dixian Sect. Even if you want to buy powerful spiritual weapons, we have the connections."
"Yeah?"
Ning Yi glanced at the waiter and said in a deep voice: "You don't deserve to know what I want to buy. Since your shop owner has connections in the Dixian Sect, I really have a big deal and want to discuss it with him."
"I understand, little one."
The waiter's eyes lit up, and there was no hint of displeasure on his face. He respectfully invited Ning Yi into the VIP room, served him some spiritual tea, and said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, my dear guest, I will go and invite the owner."
Ning Yi nodded and patiently sipped the tea.
About half a cup of tea later, footsteps came from outside, and then a middle-aged man walked in with an apologetic smile on his face.
Judging from the imposing manner in which he is dressed, he should be Xiao Shi, the target this time.
Ning Yi's eyes lit up and he used his Qingwei Spiritual Eyes. With his level of cultivation, the magical powers of the internal organs that he had cultivated at the Foundation Establishment level were no longer what they used to be.
Under Qing Wei's sharp eyes, Xiao Shi's physical body was thoroughly seen.
