Chang Yue shook his head and said: "The head of the Zhou family is very cautious, although their courtyard is large, only the front and back two gates can enter and exit, and there are monks on duty on the sentry towers around them, and I heard that between these sentry towers, there are also some warning formations, as long as there is a fluctuation of vitality, there will be a corresponding alarm sound." ”

"If you want to enter the Zhou family, the only way is to go through the gate, in that case, we have to say the reason for going in, according to some monks who have dealings with the Zhou family, if you want to see the people of the Zhou family, you need to wait in the gatehouse after entering the door, and only when that person comes to pick you up, you can enter the courtyard. ”

Qin Wen didn't expect that the management of the Zhou family would be so strict, if this was the case, the chance of getting in was almost zero, Shi Bin thought about it at this time and asked Chang Yue: "Then you have been in the mountains and forests for such a long time, do you know any monks in the Zhou family, we can find a random excuse and go in first to check again." ”

Chang Yue still shook his head and said: "No, the monks of the Zhou family have always been used to being domineering, and they are particularly protective of their shortcomings, if the monks of the Xuanshi realm still make friends, people like me and Xiaoliu are almost all bullied by them, so the popularity of his family in this neighborhood is not very good." ”

The Shi family brothers and Xiao Zheng couldn't help frowning when they heard Chang Yue's words, Xiao Zheng muttered a little: "Then what should we do?" Even if we can hire one or two spirit level cultivators, a family as big as the Zhou family can't be wiped out, I don't know where Lu Dao Xiaoliu is being held, if they are all searched, it will be impossible without a day or two." ”

Qin Wen frowned, and carefully observed the courtyard of the Zhou family for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked Chang Yue: "Don't those monks of the Zhou family often go to the city to sell elixirs? I don't see that there is a large area in their courtyard where they can grow elixirs, maybe they can grow elixirs in other places." After those people catch Xiao Liu, they may not be placed here, so let's go find a place where they grow elixir. ”

Chang Yue also showed a sudden realization expression at this time, and hurriedly took out a piece of paper from the storage bag and handed it to Qin Wen and said, "These are the names of the elixirs they sold that I wrote down in the elixir shop, I don't know much about the elixir, but we can search around here." ”

At this point, he seemed to have another thing in mind. He patted his head and said: "Xiao Liu also knows the location of the Zhou family, if they don't come to this valley, then Xiao Liu must have left a mark for us at the intersection of the corner, let's go back and check it again, maybe there will be new discoveries." ”

Qin Wen took the paper and looked at it, and saw that there were several aquatic elixirs in it, which could only grow in the swamp, looking at the current courtyard of the Zhou family, although it was in the valley. However, each courtyard was arranged tightly, and there was very little open space, not to mention a large swamp, so he nodded and said: "These elixirs are definitely not out of here, they must have other places, let's go back now and see if there are any other marks left by Xiao Liu." ”

The five of them searched the neighborhood with their divine senses, and found no monks on patrol. He quietly descended from the tree, and then slowly searched in the direction he came.

Wait until you leave a certain range of the Zhou family. Qin Wen opened his mouth and asked Chang Yuedao: "Do you know if there is a relatively large swamp near here, there are several elixirs on the paper you gave me just now that can only grow in water, like the mountains and forests It is impossible to find a larger river, the only way is to plant these elixirs in the swamp." ”

Chang Yue pondered for a moment, took out a map from his storage bag, and looked at it carefully: "I also have some impressions of the swamp around here. It seems that I have heard others say that it should be in that direction, and I am not sure, so we might as well go to the intersection of the road back to the swamp and see if there are any marks left by Xiaoliu there. ”

Qin Wen nodded and said, "That's fine, but even if there is no mark of Xiaoliu." Let's also go over there to check it, the clues of the elixir are more important, I think since they have planted the elixir there, they will always check it every few days, in that case, we can also start with the monk who manages the elixir, and then find out the whereabouts of Xiaoliu. ”

After listening to Qin Wen's thoughts, the hearts of the four people next to him gradually became clear, Chang Yue was the same as when he had just entered the mountain forest, whenever there was a guiding grass, he would carefully observe the nearby trees to see if there were any marks made by Xiao Liu on them.

It wasn't until dusk that Chang Yue pointed to a hillside in the southwest direction and said, "If you go to the swamp, let's just walk from here, there should be a guiding grass in front, I'll check it first, and then we'll go over there." As he spoke, he ran on his own.

After half a pillar of incense, Chang Yue flew back with a happy face, came to Qin Wen and said, "Master Qin, Xiao Liu did leave a mark in that place, but at that time, I only cared about going to Zhou's house and ignored this mark, and the point of the mark is the same as what you said, that is, it points to the road of the swamp." ”

After Qin Wen's speculation was confirmed, everyone suddenly felt full of hope, no matter what, the place where the elixir was planted and the Zhou family under strict monitoring could not be compared, maybe there were only two or three monks in the Xuanshi realm inside, and if one person came out and did it, he could easily rescue Xiaoliu.

The five of them walked in the direction that Chang Yue pointed out, and after crossing the hillside, Qin Wen saw that there were several large quagmires in the middle of the mountain forest, covered with a thin layer of fallen leaves, and occasionally huge bubbles bubbling out, and there were finger-sized buzzing mosquitoes flying next to them, it seemed that ordinary monks did not come here often.

Chang Yue looked at these mosquitoes with some fear at this time and said, "Master Qin, although these mosquitoes are low-level spirit beasts, it is more troublesome to deal with them in groups, and the ordinary vitality shield of the Xuanshi realm can't stop them at all, so monks like Xiao Liu and I rarely come here." ”

Qin Wen nodded, and casually used his Yuan Qi to turn into a shield to cover Chang Yue inside, and then said: "This is no problem, the Yuan Qi shield of the Xuanshi Realm can't be pierced at all, you just go with me and show me the direction." ”

After walking out of this hillside, the number of quagmires gradually decreased, but the area of the quagmire gradually expanded, and some trees grew on the edge of the quagmire, gradually blistered and yellowed, looking at this scene, these swamps should be expanding year by year.

Chang Yue held the map in his hand, and kept telling Qin Wen the direction in front of him, and the Shi brothers and Xiao Zheng behind them also wrapped themselves with a Yuan Qi shield, and for the sake of safety, they had been using their Yuan Qi to indulge their bodies and not let themselves fall on the land below, after all, these swamps were still hidden, and they couldn't always use their divine sense to check the situation under their feet, so flying in mid-air was the safest way.

I have been walking forward for more than an hour, the sky has completely darkened at this time, and what appeared in front of Qin Wen was a high mountain cliff, the cliff was bare, there was not a single tree growing on it, standing under the cliff, you could see the gray night sky completely, which was a relatively rare place in the mountain forest that covered the sky.

Qin Wen slowly fell under the cliff, he also knew that he had found the right place, like the growth of the elixir needs a part of the sun, here can reveal such a sky, it is indeed the most suitable place for the growth of the elixir, Chang Yue is still looking at the map at this time, and then pointed to the cliff and said to Qin Wen: "After this cliff, there are two days away to reach the range of the potential of other idle monks, and this vicinity should be the place where the Zhou family's elixir grows." ”

Qin Wen nodded, and flew up the cliff, the bare cliff is hundreds of zhang high, after going up to the top of the mountain, he saw that there were several such high cliffs on the opposite side, and looked down, because the distance was too far, he couldn't see the situation below, Qin Wen couldn't help frowning slightly: "The elixir is in this place, but they must have other passages, if we go down directly from above, it is easy to startle the grass and snakes, it is better to go back to the bottom and find out the path for them to enter the valley." ”

The other four people did not raise any objections, and then the five of them flew down the cliff again, and after turning around under the cliff, Chang Yue finally found a path in an inconspicuous place, Qin Wen used his divine sense to try the spiritual energy fluctuations in the path excavated by the cave, and then took Chang Yue into the cave first.

Completely different from the dampness outside, the inside of the cave was unusually refreshing, and there was a small stream flowing slowly in the middle of the cave, and the five of them walked on both sides of the stream, probing with their divine senses and walking inward.

This stream gradually became wider with the extension of the cave, and after walking for about half a pillar of incense, it actually flooded the entire cave, and the five of them had to fly forward in the low air, Qin Wen thought about the situation of the monks in the medicine field here while walking, according to the situation of entering and exiting the swamp just now, the monk of the Zhou family on the other side also has a monk of the Xuanshi realm at the very least, after all, those mosquitoes just now are the monks of the Xuanshi realm cannot resist.

Now although there are four monks in the Xuanshi realm on his side, the highest is only Xiao Zheng, who is about to enter the middle level of the Xuanshi, in case the other party is a monk of the Xuanshi upper level, his side can't be too big, thinking of this, he gradually slowed down, and his face became cautious.

After flying for about half a pillar of incense, he gradually felt a breeze blowing, and Qin Wen knew that he was almost at the entrance of the cave opposite, so he said to the four people behind: "It's about to come out of the hole, you all have to be careful, I'll use my divine sense to investigate the situation first."
