Chapter 56: The Wind Moves
"Huh!
The sight in front of him made the emaciated man's face even more gloomy, and he had no intention of burying these corpses again, so he turned around very simply and walked straight to the entrance of the relatively hidden Yuanshi vein cave.
As the emaciated man's figure disappeared into the hole, several scavenging vultures, which had been hovering in the air for a long time, folded their wings and swooped down like sharp arrows, pecking with their heads down and making a cheerful chirping sound, and began their gluttonous feast.
It didn't take long for the emaciated man to come out of the hole, his face was already gloomy and about to drip water, he reached out and took out a strangely shaped whistle from his bosom and put it in his mouth, a piercing and sharp sound sounded, and in a few breaths, four men in black appeared kneeling on the ground in front of the emaciated man.
"After investigating all the people and things related to this place, we will report to this seat immediately!" a hoarse voice sounded from the mouth of the emaciated man.
"Yes!"
The four men in black who received the order quickly got up and swept away in four directions: east, west, south, and north.
After standing still for a few hours, the emaciated man only got the answer that the village was empty, and that the living creatures that remained in the village were only some livestock, and the four men in black followed all the traces, but they never found any trace of the whereabouts of the villagers, so it was impossible to know where the villagers had gone for the time being.
Now the only valuable news is that at the entrance of Sunjiazhuang village, the bodies of Cheng Hu and others who were hastily buried were found, and after some investigation, the specific cause of their death was also found, and some clues were deduced from this.
The emaciated man didn't expect that he would get such an answer after waiting for so long, but he was still clear about his subordinates' abilities, and since they couldn't find any valuable clues, it meant that the opponent was indeed clever.
Standing in place and groaning for a long time, after the four came back to report, the man in black who was half-kneeling on the ground kept his head down and didn't even dare to breathe, they knew very well in their hearts that the emaciated man in front of him must be angry now. As the momentum on the emaciated man's body became more and more vigorous, the four black-clothed men who knelt down couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Boom!"
The emaciated man finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and pointed at Dao Yang's hand, and a condensed sword rushed out from his hand, directly bombarding the ore vein passage behind him until it collapsed, and between the debris and dust, the hidden hole was quickly buried.
The four men in black were hit by many small stones that were splashed by the impact of the qi wave, but they did not move at all, nor did they use their vitality to protect themselves. Even though they were hit on their faces by flying stones and had blood marks on their hands, they were secretly relieved in their hearts, after all, this blow did not hit them.
"I'll go back and report the details of this matter to the door master, and you will be responsible for covering up all traces here before coming back. ”
"Yes!"
After the emaciated man finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared into the cottage, and the four black-clothed men did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly got up and scattered, doing their best to restore this stone iron mountain to a state as if no one had ever come.
Two days later, the Crazy Knife Gate.
Liu Mad Cheng was standing quietly in his special quiet room, and in front of him was a huge rock wall carved with countless knife marks of different depths, which had been excavated by people in their entirety, and those knife marks faintly revealed a trace of inexplicable majesty, which looked quite mysterious.
At this time, Liu Qicheng was frowning and staring at the knife marks on the rocky mountain wall, and the expression on his face was uncertain. This sword mark stone wall is the treasure of the town gate of the Crazy Knife Gate, and the knife marks left on it are the traces left by an unknown power on the stone wall.
Back then, the founding patriarch of the Crazy Sword Gate accidentally entered the deep mountains, and came to a deep valley by mistake, in which he found a place where the hidden masters had been deserted. There he found a skeleton that had turned into white bones, a mountain wall with numerous knife marks, and a small box.
At that time, although he had not been able to open the box, but after a little understanding of the traces on the stone wall, he found that it actually contained a set of extremely advanced knife techniques, and he immediately found a treasure.
After a few months of fascination in front of the stone wall, the founding patriarch of the Crazy Knife Gate finally succeeded in breaking through in one fell swoop, and comprehended a set of Xuanjie mid-grade Wind Knife Method, with this set of knife techniques, he founded the Crazy Knife Gate with his own strength and successfully set the product, making the Crazy Knife Gate at that time become a low-grade sect in one fell swoop.
After that, he secretly dug out the whole piece of this stone wall, and secretly hid it in the crazy knife door from time to time, but the box did not find a way to open until the end of his life, and he had no choice but to leave his last words at the time of his death, telling the successor head to continue to understand the knife technique on the stone wall and carry forward the sect, and at the same time find a way to open the box to see what treasure is inside.
It's just that after the efforts of several masters of the Crazy Knife Gate, this small box has never been able to be opened, but this Crazy Wind Knife Technique has been continuously comprehended and perfected in front of the stone wall with the successive generations of masters, making this unique skill of the Crazy Knife Door, to Liu Madcheng's generation, not only the moves have increased to ten, but the power of all kinds is much stronger than before, and now the Tempest Knife Method has been successfully advanced to the ancient martial arts of the lower grade.
In addition, the masters of the Crazy Knife Sect of the past dynasties have worked hard, the prestige and power of the Crazy Knife Sect are also rising, and the strength of the sect is becoming deeper and deeper. As for this small box that has made the masters of the Crazy Sword Sect of the past generations angry, it has finally been turned around in the hands of Liu Madcheng.
A few years ago, he was fortunate to get acquainted with an eight-grade refining master, and learned the name of this small box from the other party's mouth - Thousand Machine Box.
Overjoyed, Liu Madcheng spent a lot of money to gather the materials, and asked the refining master to refine a thousand machine boxes of the same quality as his own hands, and at the same time, taking this opportunity and friendship with the other party, he finally asked from the other party to unlock this quality thousand machine box.
At that time, the ecstatic Liu Madcheng suppressed the desire in his heart with all his might, and rushed back to the crazy knife door as quickly as possible, when he opened the box with extreme excitement and apprehension, he found that there was a crystal clear star-shaped jade inside, the front of this star jade faintly showed a "jade" word, and the reverse side was a "Heng" word.
What surprised Liu Yancheng even more was that this piece of star jade turned out to be a first-grade spiritual weapon, this spiritual weapon is rare even in the high-grade sects, and there are even fewer in the middle-grade sects that can have it, except for a few middle-grade sect leaders with a very deep background who have a low-grade spiritual weapon, it is impossible for other middle-grade sects to have a spiritual weapon.
Busy with its main name in the Yuan Mansion, and named it Yuhengshi. After several explorations after recognizing the master, Liu Madcheng discovered the strange effect of this jade heng stone - it can store the sword moves that contain his vitality, and it is a total of knife moves that can store the total amount of vitality in his whole body, which made him even more surprised. With this jade hengshi in hand, it is equivalent to two of them fighting against others, and the battle within the same realm can almost make him invincible.
At this time, a very slight sound of footsteps from far and near, interrupted Liu Yancheng's contemplation, and when he arrived at the door of the quiet room, he half-knelt on the ground and waited quietly.
"Liu Shen, you're back!
"Back to the sect master, when the subordinates rushed to Shitie Mountain, there was no one else there except for the corpses of the outer disciples we sent, and they should all have been killed on the same day. And the excavated Yuan Shi was also taken away, leaving only a small section of the Yuan Stone vein that has not been completely dug up, and the subordinates are expected to have less than 10,000 lower grade Yuan Shi at most, which shows that the number of people who came to attack was not many and they went in a hurry, so it was too late to dig up all the Yuan Shi, and the subordinates had already sealed the mouth of the ore vein and let people clear all the traces there. ”
The half-kneeling willow wound outside the quiet room was the emaciated man who rushed back from Shi Tieshan first, after listening to his words, Liu Yancheng's face in the quiet room flashed with anger, and the clothes on his body also moved without wind.
"What else did you find, how did Cheng Hu die?"
According to the traces of the investigation, among the three outer disciples in the lead, Liu Feng died at the foot of Shitie Mountain, his arms were broken, and his meridians were destroyed, and he died of serious injuries.
Liu Feng, Cheng Hu and most of the other disciples all died at the entrance of a village called Sunjiazhuang, in which Liu Feng was killed directly with a knife in the vest, and Cheng Hu was killed by hitting the head with palm force after his arm was broken.
However, I found traces of being bombarded by lightning on Cheng Hu and more than thirty other disciples, and the armor of the first-grade treasure weapon temporarily lent to Cheng Hu in the door was also shattered, and my subordinates deduced from all the traces that the other party should have the existence of a formation mage and a talisman master. ”
"Array Mages and Talismans......"
Liu Madcheng in the quiet room suddenly stagnated, and what Liu Xian found made his brows twist together, and the existence of the two kinds of formation mages and talismans made Liu Madcheng also suspicious in his heart, and he groaned for a long time before he spoke.
"Yuan Shi can put anything aside, a few days ago Cheng Hu sent back a message saying that he found the thing he was looking for, have you found it there? and have you found anyone nearby who knows about this matter?"
"This ...... No, except for the Yuan Stone that has not yet been excavated, there is nothing else there, including Cheng Hu, and they have not found it, and their subordinates boldly speculate that it should have been taken away......"
Liu Shen knew very well that Liu Yancheng attached great importance to that thing, so when he said this result, he hesitated a little and then continued.
"And the subordinates also found that all the people in the villages near Shitieshan had disappeared overnight, and the only living creatures were those domestic animals and poultry, and even some belongings, which showed that they had left in a hurry.
However, his subordinates have also tracked down, but they found that they left many traces of camouflage after entering the mountains and forests, and it is extremely difficult to track them down, and the other party's methods are very clever. ”
"This is a formation mage again, and a talisman master, and it can make so many people disappear collectively without leaving any traces, so the subordinates speculate that it should be a certain sect family that has made a move. ”
"Humph!"
Liu Qiangcheng listened to the momentum on his body, half a year ago he went out to travel through Gutai City, and got acquainted with several sect leaders in the city, and later on the way back when he passed near Shitie Mountain, he actually felt that the Yuheng Stone in the Yuan Mansion had moved, and he could actually detect that there was something near there that kept calling for the Yuheng Stone.
At that time, because the heads of several sects in Gutai City were still beside him to send him off, Liu Yancheng was too obvious to behave, so he could only suppress the thoughts in his heart. When he rushed back to the Crazy Sword Gate, he calmed down and felt that this matter must not be known to outsiders, so he couldn't look for it with great fanfare, so he thought of a way to select some people from the outer disciples to pretend to be mountain bandits and go to that area to find them, and then it was the beginning of a series of things.
"That's a big possibility. Liu Shu, you lead your subordinates to pay close attention to the various families and sects in Gutai City to see who is the most suspicious, and for those villagers who have disappeared, they must continue to investigate, and keep an eye on Shi Tie Mountain to see if anyone will come back to continue digging the remaining Yuan Shi there. Inform me of any situation immediately. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it. ”
With Liu Shen's departure, Liu Yancheng no longer had the heart to comprehend the stone wall, he sat on a Taishi chair in the meditation room and pondered.
"Array mage, talisman master, as far as I know, there should be no talisman in the four major sects in Gutai City, who could it be......? It's !! them."
Liu Madcheng suddenly thought of one, and suddenly widened his eyes to reveal a look of jealousy, but then his expression became a little hideous: "Hmph, whether it is or not, what belongs to me Liu Madcheng, I will definitely take it back!"
Some crazy words echoed in the quiet room for a long time.
And Muyang, who was hurrying day and night, didn't expect that under various coincidences, they would lead the disaster to other places, so that they could temporarily escape the catastrophe.
