Chapter 423: The World of Faith (II)
Like real businessmen, the two of them wandered around the venue, bargaining with some merchants who sold their goods, and also made several deals.
Everything was covered up flawlessly, and at noon, they walked into a restaurant, the hotel was overcrowded, the two of them came early to occupy a table, and when there were more and more guests, the store couldn't sit down, and the shopkeeper led a middle-aged man over, sorry and said, "Can you two make it convenient?"
Sun Ang was pleased: "Please take a seat, I met friends when I went out." β
The shopkeeper and the middle-aged man thanked him.
After the shopkeeper left, the middle-aged man chatted with them for a few words, and then quietly observed the surroundings, and said in a low voice: "Chen Yishu, the head of the Inquisition Huajian City, has seen Lord Divine Punisher!"
When he mentioned the words "divine punisher", he was faintly excited.
Sun Ang glanced at him lightly, and suddenly smiled: "You did a good job." What's been going on in the city lately?"
"The villain is a steward in Xuan Subin's mansion, and he has been ordered to secretly monitor Xuan Subin for the past three years. In the past year, it has finally been discovered that Xuan Subin will send his henchmen and important ministers to escort a batch of items to Luofeng Mountain every month. And this month is tomorrow night. β
Sun Ang nodded: "What is Luofeng Mountain?"
Chen Yishu replied: "It is a big mountain three hundred miles outside the city, and it is not very famous, but everyone in Huajian City knows that the terrain of that mountain is complex, and it is easy for ordinary people to get lost when they walk in, so few people go there." β
"Do you suspect that Luofeng Mountain is a secret base for hypocrites?"
"Yes. Chen Yishu said: "According to the villain's secret investigation for more than a year, a large number of materials will mysteriously disappear from the City Lord's Mansion every month.
However, Xuan Subin is very secretive, often purchased through different stewards, and then distributed through different people. So it's very obvious that there is a problem in the entry and exit accounts.
The villain also spent a lot of time, secretly noting down every purchase and expenditure, and finally found out about this problem. β
Sun Ang asked, "How many supplies disappear every month?"
"Almost a million dollars a month. β
Sun Ang and Ming Qi glanced at each other, both a little surprised. The lord of a city-state. Every month, they will support the hypocrites with 1 million jade dollars! These materials can build an army of 30,000 people into the top elite on the continent, and can cultivate a strong person who lives to move the realm, and this is only the amount of a month.
Ming Qi couldn't hold it back, and scolded in a low voice: "Xuan Subin is bold, and his sin deserves death!"
Chen Yishu asked, "My lord, do you want to track this shipment and let this group of hypocrites be wiped out?"
"Of course. Sun Ang motioned to Ming Qi, who took out a transmission Mahayana sigil and quietly handed it to Chen Yishu under the table: "You go back first, once the escort person leaves." You let us know right away. We will then follow and make sure that these greedy and arrogant hypocrites pay the price they deserve!"
Chen Yishu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Lord Divine Punisher, are there only two of you?" You must know that Xuan Subin's subordinates are as strong as clouds, and she is a hypocrite, and her true strength is probably much stronger than the rumors in the outside world. β
Ming Qi said lightly: "I am Ming Qi." β
Chen Yishu was stunned, he didn't know the true identity of the person on his street, and suddenly knew that the old man in front of him was the boss of the court, and he was so shocked that he didn't know how to deal with himself.
After a while. Only then did he nod and said, "It turned out to be Master Ming Qi, you are a powerhouse in the Heavenly Realm, and you are sitting there, plus the Lord of the Divine Punisher is of course no problem." It is easy to sweep away this group of hypocrites. β
"Well, you do your best, and when Xuan Subin's group of sinners get the punishment they deserve, you will also get what you deserve!"
"Thank you, sir. β
This time, the joint ended without a hitch. Sun Ang and Ming Qi did not take it lightly, and still walked around the trade fair in the afternoon and talked about a few business. Then I went back to the inn and waited for news.
Time passed in a blink of an eye, but the night after tomorrow, Chen Yishu informed them that there was no movement in the city lord's mansion tonight.
"Lord Divine Punisher, Master Ming Qi!" Chen Yishu's voice came through the Mahayana sigil, with obvious excitement: "The villain has made another major discovery! The reason why they didn't set off was because there was still an important thing that had not been delivered. β
"What is it?" Ming Qi felt that something was at stake and hurriedly asked.
"The villain didn't know, but the villain found out that the thing was sent from the temple, and it should have been sent to the City Lord's Mansion last night, but it didn't come until today, so they had to postpone the action. β
Sun Ang cautiously asked, "Could it be that Xuan Subin noticed something?"
"No, it won't. Chen Yishu said: "The villain deliberately added caution today, and did not find that anyone was secretly spying on me, and everything was as usual in the City Lord's Mansion." β
Sun Ang nodded and said, "Okay, you continue to monitor, and contact us immediately if you have any news." β
"Yes!"
After cutting off the call, Sun Ang looked at Ming Qi, "What do you think will be sent from the temple?"
Ming Qi was extremely angry: "I'm afraid it's my god's faith!"
"What?"
"Lord Divine Punisher, these shameless and greedy hypocrites are stealing the power of faith that should belong to my god! It can only be this kind of treasure sent from the temple, so Xuan Subin will not hesitate to postpone his departure, because compared to the material of one million jade dollars per month, this is the real treasure!"
Sun Ang nodded slowly, he understood what Ming Qi meant: "Do they have a way to steal the power of the gods' faith?"
Ming Qi nodded affirmatively: "Although I don't know how they did it, there is no doubt that they can." This is not the first case, many of the hypocrites we have exterminated before have strengthened themselves by stealing the faith of our gods, and they have often been able to give birth to incredibly strong people. β
Sun Ang had already figured out the twists and turns in this: of course, ordinary mortals would not have a way to steal the power of the gods' beliefs, and even if they did, they could not use it.
But if there was another starry god standing behind them, it would be different.
In the belief world of every starry sky god, there will be many hypocrites, why is this so? These hypocrites are actually believers of other starry sky gods, and they have secretly arranged them.
The starry sky gods have never stopped fighting each other. If the hypocrite is used to subvert one of the other party's belief worlds and turn them into their own belief world, it will be a major victory, weakening the other party and strengthening themselves at the same time, which is one of the rare "pastimes" of the gods in their long lives.
Mingzun has now become the target of the starry sky again, and I am afraid that the number and "type" of hypocrites in the world of faith will greatly increase.
Knowing that Xuan Subin was stealing the power of Mingzun's faith, the two were of course angry, but as a member of the inquisition, Ming Qi was also extremely excited, feeling that he had caught a "big fish".
After waiting patiently for another day, at night, Chen Yishu contacted them again, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice: "Lord Divine Punisher, Master Ming Qi, they have acted!"
β¦β¦
The nine warriors were shrouded in black robes, and they walked through the night as if they were completely integrated into it, even if they passed by ordinary people, those people would not notice them.
The nine of them quietly climbed over the tall city walls and quietly melted into the endless darkness outside the city.
Sun Ang and Ming Qi followed quietly, and they were even more terrifying than the nine people in front of them. The two maintained a certain speed, neither fast nor slow, neither far nor close, and followed the nine people in front of them all the way to Luofeng Mountain.
Traveling 300 miles in one night, and hiding their tracks, these nine people are indeed strong in this world.
The sky was slightly bright, and the nine people entered Luofeng Mountain. The terrain here is indeed complicated, and if Sun Ang didn't use his breath to lock in, it might be very difficult to rely on his vision alone.
At daylight, nine men appeared in a gravel-strewn valley. At the mouth of the valley there is a steep stone fort, which is like a giant stick unlike the sword-shaped buildings that are quite pleasing to the Ming Zun in this world.
And in the valley behind the stone fort, there is a Mahayana sigil.
The arrangement of the Mahayana sigils is so ingenious that even if Sun Ang passes by outside the mountain, he may not be able to discover that there is another mystery here.
The nine people in front passed the strict inspection of the stone castle and entered the valley, Ming Qi smiled hideously, moved his muscles and bones, and crackled his joints: "I finally found it, I can use terror and killing to judge these hypocrites, hehehe!"
He was about to go in, but was stopped by Sun Ang.
Ming Qi was stunned: "My lord?"
Sun Ang thought about it and changed his mind again: "Okay, let's go in and have a look." β
With a wave of his hand, a faint film of light wrapped Ming Qi in, and Ming Qi was puzzled: "Are you preparing ......?"
Sun Ang smiled mysteriously: "Let's go, it's more interesting this way." β
"Interesting?" Ming Qi thought for a moment, well, he finally admitted that it was indeed interesting to punish those hypocrites, so he honestly followed Sun Ang.
When they passed through the stone fort, they saw that there were strict guards inside, and there were various Mahayana sigil structures to verify their identities, but all these arrangements, without finding the two of them, let them walk in so easily.
Ming Qi's eyes flashed: "It's really more interesting." β
Sun Ang smiled slightly.
The inhabitants of the town had just woken up, some were getting water from the well, some were already cooking breakfast, and the smoke was rising, and it looked like an ordinary town.
But Ming Qi gritted his teeth with hatred: "These hateful hypocrites have such a large number!" (To be continued.) )
