Tieshan County is the westernmost town of the three prefectures of the East China Sea and is under the jurisdiction of Mangya City. Further west, we entered the three states of the Central Plains, where the capital was located. Because it is the junction of the three states of the East China Sea and the three states of the Central Plains, and is at the lowest altitude of the eastern line of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, the temperature is low all year round, and the air is relatively turbid, so the population introduction is relatively slow, and it can only be regarded as a third-level town with a population of more than one million.

The most famous iron ore in Tieshan County is the iron ore, and there is the largest iron ore deposit of the Liyang Dynasty in the west of it, so the local people make a living by mining iron ore.

You must know that iron was a very important strategic material in the Liyang Dynasty, and as the main material for the production of weapons, iron has always been a national mineral deposit. This also made Tieshan County an important position in the three states of the East China Sea and even the Liyang Dynasty.

Ling Zixuan and the four of them were about to go to the capital, passing through Tieshan County, and seeing that the sky had gradually become dark, they chose to stay in the county town for one night and then hurry the next day.

There are three hotels in the town, and in order to make his parents more comfortable, Ling Zixuan asked Chenxi to arrange the most luxurious peace of mind hotel. The three rooms cost thirty taels of silver, which made the dust jaw-dropping and heart-wrenching.

This is such a big place hotel. Ling Buyi and his wife told the girl with a smile that because the iron ore here is famous and the military industry of the Liyang Dynasty is nearby, the consumption is much higher than that of ordinary counties and towns, and the price of hotels in the three main cities of the East China Sea is almost the same.

Ling Zixuan didn't have much sense of money, so he didn't hesitate to pay, took the room key to accompany his parents to stay and rest for a while, and waited until his parents felt hungry before coming to the hall to eat together.

Chenxi has been studying diligently recently, and has basically fully adapted to the secular life, and the two elders have been arranged tightly and orderly, and the two elders have always praised the girl for being sensible, which made her very happy. Ling Zixuan felt that he was a lot more relaxed, and he finally got through, but without Ji Lingshan by his side, he always felt that something was missing.

A gust of wind blew, and a couple of people came in at the door, the first of whom was younger, wearing a thick cotton robe and a fur cloak on the outside, and at first glance he looked like a rich man. The two people who followed behind were wearing burgundy backgrounds, dark blue trimmed cotton robes, uniform black cloaks, and slightly convex waists, which seemed to be equipped with blades.

Ling Zixuan knew at a glance that these three people should be from the government, and it was even very likely that they were from the capital. Because in the Liyang Dynasty, only the government blatantly wore a sword, and it was estimated that he came to Tieshan County to do errands, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore.

"Young master, this is already the eighty-fourth child, and if it continues like this, it is estimated that all the people in Tieshan County will go crazy." The three of them had not sat down long before one of the attendants spoke to the young man. The young man's brow furrowed, and he seemed to be troubled by this matter.

"Yes, the county is really incompetent, the young master is here in person, and I don't know how to come to greet him, I really want to go to Wang Zhenxing where to join him." The other follower also said angrily.

"This time I came by myself, and I didn't specifically inform the governor, so it's normal that he didn't arrange people, so don't complain. It's just that since this matter has come to this, no one has told the capital, it seems that there is a certain reason. That's what I'm here for. The young man said.

Ling Zixuan overheard the conversation between the three of them, and knew that the three of them were originally from the capital, and it was estimated that they were probably from the palace. It sounds like I'm here to investigate some case about a child in Tieshan County. However, he didn't attach much importance to it, he still passed by, so since the government had already taken action, there was no need for him to make any extraneous branches.

After eating, Ling Buyi and his wife went back to the room to rest, and said that they would go outside to settle down and get off the carriage, and then go to buy some things to use on the road. Ling Zixuan went back to his room alone to meditate and cultivate.

When Ling Zixuan was practicing, he heard a commotion outside the hotel, mixed with dusty scolding. Ling Zixuan's eyes opened, and he got up and walked out directly. As soon as he got out of the hotel, he saw Chenxi and the young man staring into the distance, and the two followers around the young man were gone.

"Dusty, what's wrong?" Ling Zixuan walked up to the two of them and asked.

"Master, just now I was taking care of the shop guy to feed our horses with good feed, when suddenly I heard a woman shouting, and I saw two black shadows rushing by, holding a pair of crying children in their hands. As soon as I tried to stop it, this boy rushed out with someone and chased the two black shadows. Dusty simply told the master what had happened.

Hearing Chenxi shouting Master Ling Zixuan, the young man immediately glanced at Ling Zixuan, seeing that Ling Zixuan was so young, two years younger than himself, he actually had an apprentice, it seemed that he should be a martial arts cultivator. Therefore, a fist salute can be regarded as a greeting to Ling Zixuan.

Ling Zixuan nodded, looking at a few figures in the distance, "Your two guards shouldn't be able to catch up with them." Ling Zixuan knew at a glance that the two black shadows that stole children were innate realms, and the two guards of this young man were only masters of internal strength, which was too much worse.

The young man was stunned for a moment, a little unconvinced, his two internal strength master guards couldn't catch up with the two thieves who stole children?

Ling Zixuan obviously felt that the young man didn't believe his words very much, so he didn't pay attention to it, and returned to the hotel with the dust.

"Master, those two black shadows are obviously martial arts masters, such a blatant snatching of children, could it be because of the cultivation of evil exercises, so they need to suck the essence blood of children. If that's the case, we can't ignore this kind of unconscionable thing! Dusty said excitedly.

Ling Zixuan glanced at the excited dust, and was very relieved in his heart, his disciple was upright, and this kind of behavior of pulling out a sword to help when the road was uneven was very much in line with his taste.

"The exercises practiced by those two black shadows are not extremely evil exercises, and it is estimated that they are also doing things for others and catching children for others. But don't worry, the teacher has already left a spiritual imprint on them, and later in a while, I will go after their lair to see if there is any gain. ”

When Chenxi heard that the master had already had the idea of saving the two children, he immediately jumped up happily, "I knew that the master would not die without saving, the purpose of the Tianlan Sect is to eliminate evil and promote good, and sweep away all evil in the world." I'm going to go with my master to save those two children. ”

Ling Zixuan didn't just make a move to save these two children, it was because he had just heard the young man's guard say that more than eighty children had disappeared in Tieshan County, so he decided to take action.

He was very worried that there were really people who cultivated demonic skills, and they needed to refine a hundred boys and girls to break through the advanced level, this kind of cruel exercises and evil people, since they were touched by him Ling Zixuan, they had to be eradicated. This is his principle, the way of cultivating the truth, everything from the heart.

While the two of them were talking, the two guards returned empty-handed, not even knowing where the two captors had gone. Only then did the young man discover that Ling Zixuan's strength and realm were much higher than those two guards.
