Volume 1 The Rebirth of the Hidden Dragon Chapter 5 Heavenly Road
The theft of the spirit animals in the Donglu Ranch began to occur half a year ago, and the spirit animals in captivity in the pasture are divided into four levels: A, B, C, D, and the lost spirit animals are all Class A, and they will lose an average of one to three per month, and it is not easy to cultivate Class A spirit animals, even if the Bliss Sect is rich, it cannot withstand such a big loss.
The sect has also sent people down to track it down, but they have all returned in vain, and the loss incident is still continuing, if it weren't for Feng Yuanshan's unique ability to keep a captive spirit animal, he would have been dealt with a long time ago, but now that the young sect master of the Bliss Sect has arrived in Baiyun City, if it can't be solved, even if he has the ability, I'm afraid he will be able to escape the blame.
After lunch, Feng Yuanshan took Yun Hao to the ranch to inspect it.
I have to say that the scale of this ranch is very large, a large plain at the foot of Qilian Mountain is included in it, and a large area of grassland is dotted with spirit animals, walking around in groups of three or five, and there are no herders.
This kind of captivity is special, and the types of spirit animals in captivity are huge, from small chicks to large badger cattle.
The so-called classification of A, B, C, D, is actually to put the awakened and intelligent livestock into the pasture, and after being promoted to the level, they will be converted to each level area in turn.
There is no fence in the pasture, and the area is divided by the formation, and several sentry posts are built on the periphery in addition to the protective array for observation.
After walking around a rough circle, Yun Hao asked, "Did you find anything suspicious when the spirit animal disappeared?" β
Feng Yuanshan sighed: "This is the place where I can't figure it out, if an outsider invades and forcibly captures the spirit animal, it will definitely trigger the animal mark, and the scene will also leave traces, but we have carefully looked at the scene and found no abnormality, the spirit animal seems to have disappeared out of thin air." β
This animal seal is one of Feng Yuanshan's unique skills, all the spirit animals that are in the first class will be marked with soul marks, as long as the spirit animals are coerced by external forces, Feng Yuanshan can detect them.
Yun Hao: "Nothing else special?" β
Feng Yuanshan thought about it carefully, and said with some embarrassment: "Is it special that the thefts all happened in the middle of the night?" β
β............β
After asking the question but not getting any valuable clues, Feng Yuanshan also returned to the manor to deal with daily affairs, and at the same time explained that his subordinates fully cooperated with Yun Hao and the others.
"What do you think, old ghost?" Yun Hao had no clue.
"This land is close to the leyline, there is a thin earth spirit qi emanating, mortals do not have much benefit from practicing here, but it is used to captivate spirit animals for a long time to slowly stimulate the demon transformation, and then eat its flesh is indeed better than some pills, but if you want to become a demon and take the inner pill, it is impossible."
The Nine Shadows Ancestor patiently explained the operation of the ranch, but did not answer his opinion on the theft.
Since ancient times, the first major sects to do is to enclose the land, the immortal mountain blessed land is said to come from this, to help the cultivators to speed up the absorption of heaven and earth aura, the second level is occupied by the small sects, and the second level of people to cultivate no income is used to captivate the spirit animal, this Bliss Sect is well versed in this way.
Yun Hao had to give the possibility: "Could it be that someone came from the sky, kidnapped the spirit animal and then went away from the sky." β
The defensive circle on the periphery of the ranch is as high as a city wall, and as long as someone breaks in, it will trigger an early warning of the array map in the manor, but the circle also needs to consume resources to maintain, so the circle does not cover the top.
Nine Shadows Ancestor: "There is no such possibility, you can't travel in the sky before you reach the Dao Saint Realm, even if you have any flying magic weapons, you won't spend it on such a trivial matter." β
Yun Hao said again: "It can only be that there is a thief in the family." β
Jiuyou Ancestor sighed lightly, "There is absolutely no such possibility, unless the thief does not want to live, he will steal a first-class spirit animal, not to mention how to deceive the inventory and take it out of the pasture, that is, what if you take it out, you can't find it once and twice, you also saw it before, this Feng Yuanshan can use the spirit animal to entertain you, at least it shows that the management of spirit animals below level B is not strict, if you want to steal, you also steal those, why should the inner ghost dry up and fish." β
Yun Hao scratched his head, "Isn't this incomprehensible, old ghost, are you so sure that you know it in your heart." β
Nine Shadows Ancestor: "There are a few farts, the deity has already said not to waste time here." β
Zhong Shouyi was accustomed to Yun Hao's state of talking to himself, just as he was in the habit of thinking, and at this moment, seeing Yun Hao's frowns, he said: "No wonder Prince Huaiyu will give us a chance, I think I also know that this matter is difficult to achieve, everything has a fate, just do your best." β
Yun Hao didn't answer and went to continue to visit the ranch, although there were no herdsmen, he could occasionally see the guards on patrol, as long as he saw people, Yun Hao took the trouble to ask for details.
Until late at night, a new group of guards on duty came to the ranch, and when the two shifts were handed over, they were the most complete and convenient to ask.
During the questioning, one of the night guards interjected: "It will be drizzling at night when it is stolen, and there is a severe drought this year, so I remember it very clearly, whether this is a clue or not." β
This is at most a coincidence, and it has little to do with the theft, seeing Yun Hao's disappointed face, the guard had to follow everyone to the periphery to guard.
Yun Hao came to the A-level spirit animal stocking ground in a daze, and at present, he had no clue to make people sleepy, so he simply pillowed his hands behind his head and lay on the ground to watch the stars.
The night was late, perhaps because there was not even a trace of clouds in the sky due to the long drought, which made the starry sky exceptionally bright, and Yun Hao, bathed in the starlight, seemed to have returned to the Sea of Stars, which was a pure land of stars in his territory.
At this time, a dark cloud covered the starlight, and the spirit animals in the pasture instantly knelt on the ground and were very docile, Yun Hao only felt a chill on his face, and it turned out that a slight drizzle fell from the sky and fell on his face.
It was still under the stars before, and this dark cloud seemed to have suddenly appeared and drifted out of nowhere, and what was even more strange was that there were two points of light in the dark cloud, which were swaying from side to side, as if someone was carrying two lanterns to find the way.
The dark clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and they were less than ten zhang from the ground, and as the distance got closer, the two lanterns became bigger and bigger, and at the same time, a thing that was silk but not silk and rope was slowly descended from the dark clouds.
Although it is far away, it can be seen clearly, there must be something strange in the dark clouds! Zhong Shouyi glared at him and said in surprise: "The sky lantern guides, descending the heavenly path, it is the heavenly god guiding the spirit animal to ascend to heaven!" β
"Where is the god of heaven, you quickly go and let Feng Yuanshan know." Yun Hao naturally didn't believe that this was the god leading the way, so he got up and ran to check what was going on.
Before he arrived, he saw that a badger cow had been carried by the heavenly road and submerged in the dark clouds, and then the dark clouds also drifted towards the direction of Qilian Mountain.
Yun Hao knew that he couldn't catch up no matter what, so he shouted: "Old ghost, now is not the time to careγγγγγγ
Before he finished speaking, the Nine Shadows Ancestor had already followed, "Needless to say, the deity also wants to see what it is, and there will be marks on the road, and you will follow it." β
This is definitely the weirdest thing that the Nine Shadows Ancestor has encountered since he came to this realm, no matter what, he wants to understand the mystery, maybe he can take this opportunity to let him get his long-cherished wish.
