p1()
When he turned a corner, Fang Ling faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from in front of him, and he knew that he had caught up with the two senior brothers. 35xs|151Kanshu.com text||
The stone road is wide and long, the ground is dry and ventilated, not dull at all, and as the terrain gets lower and lower, the stone road is also wider and wider, almost twenty or thirty zhang high.
I don't know how long I walked, but when I turned a corner in front of me, I saw a wide open stone door, and on each side of the stone gate were two young men, both of whom were wearing pitch-black robes, and a strange pattern was embroidered on the chest of the robe.
Through the stone door, you can see that there is a deep cave hall inside, and the sunlight "shines" through the cracks in the stone wall on the hall, which is transparent and translucent, and there are several stone caves in the cave hall, leading to a deeper place.
As soon as they saw that the horses of the two-person bridge had returned, the two young men who were guarding immediately greeted them and helped unload the supplies.
As soon as the things were unloaded, the fifth senior brother asked, "Eighth Senior Brother and Ninth Senior Brother, didn't that distinguished guest from Yizhou Kingdom arrive today, I don't know if he has arrived?"
Hearing the three words Yizhou Country, Fang Ling immediately pricked up his ears, and his heart became even more suspicious, why is this place actually involved with Yizhou Kingdom?
The young guard immediately replied, "They arrived half a minute earlier than the fifth senior brother, and now they are being led by the senior brother to meet the master." ā
The fifth senior brother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, the master has been telling us not to miss the time and behave well in front of that adult." ā
The seventh junior brother smiled: "With the ability of our nine senior brothers, that adult will definitely open his eyes, if the master makes a move, I am afraid that their eyes will have to be stared out." ā
The young guard said excitedly: "Fifth Senior Brother, I'm going to Yizhou Country, can we be officials?"
"Being an official?" the fifth senior brother smiled proudly, "We have followed the master to cultivate since childhood, and the hardships we endure are no less than those scholars who study hard in the cold window, if it is just to be an official, wouldn't it be too worthwhile? That lord was ordered by the king of Yizhou to invite the master to go out of the mountain, and it is more than enough to be a heavenly master of the town country with the master's cultivation." 35xsā
When the three of them heard this, their faces were full of expectation, the master became the Heavenly Master of Zhenguo, and his group of disciples were not even more majestic than being officials.
The seventh junior brother "touched" his chin with a "lewd" smile on his face, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know if the red card of Yizhou Country has the strength of Hongyulou?"
The fifth senior brother smiled knowingly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "When we arrive in Yizhou Country, we have the opportunity to enjoy, how can it be interesting to have a mandarin duck dream when cultivating immortals?"
The seventh junior brother immediately laughed and nodded again and again.
Hearing the whispers of the two of them, Fang Ling secretly said that they are not the materials for cultivating immortals, although cultivating immortals does not have to be forbidden, but if they are greedy for pleasure like this, how can they be worthy of becoming immortals?
At the same time, he secretly said lucky, he didn't expect to track down the clues of the stone man and actually heard such a confidential thing, it seems that after Han Juzheng died, Fang Zongao had a new idea, if he really asked him to invite this great immortal, then I don't know what kind of threat it will cause to himself, after all, no one knows what kind of background this person has, what kind of magic weapon he has in his hand, if he secretly "touches" and "touches" to be ruthless to himself, then he really doesn't know how he died.
He secretly pinched a handful of sweat in his palms and waited quietly in the stone path.
After the four senior brothers finished talking, they began to transport the materials to the stone hall, and then walked into one of the passages, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one inside, Fang Ling immediately rushed in, and after a little discrimination, he walked towards the middle avenue.
This avenue is obviously more square than the surrounding roads, it can be seen that it has been deliberately repaired, if it is a master, then it is natural to live in it, plus from the conversation of several people, it can be seen that there are only the so-called masters and nine senior brothers who live here, and the number is not much, so Fang Ling's courage is even greater.
He walked all the way down the stone path, and it was not long before he came to the end of the stone path, below which was an unfathomable cliff, with only a rickety wooden bridge connecting to a rocky field in the distance. 35xs
A large wooden house was built on the stone floor, and there was a clear spring flowing down the mountain wall behind the wooden house, which gathered into a small pool, and some flowers and trees were planted around it, which looked quite quiet, and on the stone side, there was another wooden bridge leading to another hole.
At this time, a young man in gray was leading a group of people across the bridge to the stone ground.
The man in gray is twenty years old, his face is like a crown of jade, there is a bit of evil aura between his eyebrows, with an expression that seems to be smiling but not smiling, giving people a gloomy feeling, this person's cultivation is not low, and he has reached the peak of the Qi Melting Realm.
Judging from this senior brother's cultivation, Fang Ling concluded that the master's cultivation had at least entered the Qi realm.
In the other group, the leader was a white-clothed scribe in his forties, with a pointed face and a goatee on his chin.
Fang Ling only glanced at it, and then felt that this person was not familiar, and after a little pondering, he remembered.
This scribe's name is Ai Mingxuan, and he is a strategist under Fang Zongao, this person is from a poor family, reads the scriptures hard, is resourceful, and is especially good at performing poisonous tricks.
The last time he went to Yizhou Kingdom, Fang Ling also mixed in Yizhou Wangcheng for a while, not only saw many important county guards, but also some important ministers, Ai Mingxuan was one of them, Fang Ling deliberately wrote down every contact, so he was deeply impressed.
Seeing Ai Mingxuan here, Fang Ling couldn't help but be surprised and happy, happy to see such an important person here, killing Fang Zong can make him arrogant and lose a heavy minister, if he is captured alive, it can also become a bargaining chip for trading, no matter which one is extremely useful to himself.
What was surprising was that Fang Zongao was really bold and scheming, now that the war on the border of Dingzhou and Xuzhou was about to start, he actually dared to send important ministers to sneak into the territory of Dingzhou, if he hadn't tracked the clues of the stone people, he would never have known such a thing.
The four guards around Ai Mingxuan are all masters of strength, their expressions are as rigorous as iron, and at first glance they are veterans who have experienced a lot of wars, and their cultivation is even more at the peak of the melting qi realm, which shows that Fang Cong is proud of the importance he attaches to this person.
With these four guards alone, it would not be easy to deal with Ai Mingxuan, not to mention that there were other powerful masters here.
Ai Mingxuan looked left and right, whiskered and said, "Junior Brother Xu, I didn't expect that there is a cave in your cave, which is quite elegant and quiet, and your master lives here?"
The young man arched his hand and said, "Lord Ai, this stone house is indeed the master's residence, but the master is not here now, but lives in the mine. ā
"Mine?" Ai Mingxuan wondered.
The young man didn't explain much, but smiled and said, "The master has already ordered, Lord Ai, please come with me." ā
After that, he walked towards another wooden bridge, Ai Mingxuan had to follow, but the wooden bridge swayed, and he couldn't help frowning, although he didn't "show" timidity, but he was still obviously a little uneasy, after all, under this bridge is the bottomless abyss.
Fortunately, the guards behind him helped him, and Ai Mingxuan walked up safely.
Fang Ling gathered his breath, quietly followed behind the group, after entering the mine, only to see that the four walls of the mine were sparse gold particles, the deeper he walked, the more dense and denser the gold particles in the stone road, but after a while, the whole stone road was completely golden, and it was dazzling.
Ai Mingxuan and his party didn't expect that there was a gold mine hidden in it, and they were dumbfounded, but they didn't scream.
It didn't take long for the front of the stone road to gradually open up, until there was a huge stone hall, the golden stone hall was connected to several passages, and in the middle of the hall was built a stone platform of gold ore, on which was placed a large white "color" stone basin, this stone basin was composed of fist-sized skulls, and the skeleton's eyes exuded a blue glow, which looked very scary.
Magic Weapon!
And it's not a rough primary magic weapon, this stone plate is surrounded by ghostly light, and there is a sense of intimidation that oppresses the mind, this thing is just a small magic weapon!
Fang Ling couldn't help but beat wildly, the little magic weapon was something that only a master of the Transformation Yuan Realm could refine, but when his gaze fell on the blue-robed man on the stone platform, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This man was only in his forties, with a hooked nose, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, a wicked smile on the corners of his mouth, and a long and wide collar in his green robe, standing upright like the wings of a bat.
This person is estimated to be the master in everyone's mouth, but they don't know what the origin is, but just looking at the aura he exudes, his strength is definitely not below Han Juzheng and the Shaman Witch King, at least it is also the level of the initial stage of the Qi Realm, but it is absolutely impossible to reach the height of the Transformation Yuan Realm.
As long as it wasn't the Transformation Yuan Realm, Fang Ling would save half of his heart, after all, if he encountered a master of that level, even if he added Xiao Mink, there would only be a dead end.
As soon as he saw Ai Mingxuan, the man grinned and said, "Brother Ai, twenty years and a long time, you still remember my Yu Wu." ā
Ai Mingxuan looked at him intently, and only after a long time did he sigh: "Why don't you remember, I, Ai Mingxuan, will remember you even if I die." ā
Yu Wu couldn't help laughing, his figure disappeared suddenly, and instantly appeared in front of Ai Mingxuan, and the four guards around Ai Mingxuan were suddenly taken aback, shocked by his rapid posture.
Ai Mingxuan couldn't hide his astonishment and said: "Brother Yu hasn't seen him for twenty years, this martial arts is really unfathomable, and the place where he lives is really gorgeous, it is actually a gold mine." āć
"Gold Mine?" Yu Wu laughed as if he had heard a joke, narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Ai, can you hand over the letter I gave you to the King of Yizhou?"
Ai Mingxuan said: "After receiving Brother Yu's letter, I immediately handed it over to the king, so the king sent me over, Brother Yu, you really have the magic power of Han Daxian and can serve the king?"
