The sky was a little foggy, although it didn't rain, but it was also relatively humid, Qin Wen and Xiao Zheng and Chang Yue were followed by the Shi brothers, and the five of them walked out of the city of expulsion in the early morning, Qin Wen originally wanted to take Brother Cheng with him, after all, he was also more familiar with the monks in the mountains and forests, but during this time, Brother Cheng encountered some problems in Li Zhen Xiangke, and every day he locked himself in the room to deduce the various possibilities of elixir preparation, and Qin Wen did not bother him.

After leaving the hillside outside the city gate of Nancheng, I looked up and saw that the private field was in full swing of harvesting, and there were also some monks guarding the private field around who were on duty vigilantly.

After walking through the private field, he came to the mountains and forests where Qin Wen walked when he first entered the city, Xiao Zheng and the Shi brothers both showed a look of vigilance, only Chang Yue's expression on his face did not change in the slightest, he had also been in the mountains and forests for many years, and there was basically no difference between this place and his own home, he knew very well in his heart where there was danger and what place was safe.

When entering the mountain forest, it was already evening, according to the distance calculated by Qin Wen and Chang Yue at that time, from here to the front of a hundred miles in a radius may be the place where the monk who hijacked Xiaoliu lived, Qin Wen was going to spend two days to search the nearby situation, if he didn't find anything after two days, Qin Wen continued to search with Chang Yue and the Shi family brothers, and let Xiao Zheng go back first, after all, the two of them still had to be on duty, and at least one person should return to the city.

In the mountains and forests, Chang Yue automatically acted as a guide, and as he walked, he introduced some of the nearby situations with Qin Wen, as well as the distribution of the power of the idle monks, but he was walking for a while. I will find a place where the bushes are relatively sparse and pick up some grass to check, but after checking it, I showed a rather disappointed expression.

Qin Wen walked up to Chang Yue's side when he checked again, and asked with some confusion, "Are you looking for something when you check like this?"

Chang Yue nodded. Pointing to the spirit grass with a little red head in the grass and said: "This is called the guiding grass in the mountains and forests, and there will be several such spirit grasses every other way. ”

Qin Wen looked at the spirit grass, then looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but chin slightly, the environment in which this spirit grass grows needs some sunlight, and most of the mountains and forests are covered by trees covering the sky. It can only grow in places where the trees are scarce, and the idle monks here will come up with the function of calculating distances with them when they discover the scarcity of this grass, and it appears at intervals.

Gradually, the sky darkened, but Chang Yue's speed increased a lot, he turned to Qin Wen and said, "This is the junction of the two potential power ranges, there is basically no guiding grass, we can speed up the search." In front of it is the territory of the Zhou family, and their housekeeper is a little domineering. Let's be careful. ”

Qin Wen nodded, he still has an impression of the Zhou family, when he and Xiao Liu and Chang Yue went to find Brother Cheng, they had killed several Zhou family stewards, and the scene where the Zhou family steward asked Xiao Liu and Chang Yue for spirit stones is still vivid in his mind, but he didn't expect that the Zhou family's power would be here.

It was the middle of the night. Since the sky was gloomy during the day, there was no moon at night, so Chang Yue relied on his divine sense to search the guiding grass, and because Chang Yue led the way, they met relatively few idle monks along the way. Gradually, the Shi brothers and Xiao Zheng slowed down.

After another half a pillar of incense, Chang Yue squatted next to a big tree again to check, on this way, everyone was used to his way of searching, they all stood quietly nearby, using their divine sense to slightly check the surrounding situation, this time Chang Yue whispered with some surprise: "I found it, Xiaoliu left a mark for us here." ”

Qin Wen walked to Chang Yue's side, and saw that there were traces of urine next to the big tree, and then under Chang Yue's finger, it was a mark of a circle left with a hard object, and there was an angular top on the inside of the circle outside the circle, Qin Wen couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "How do you know that this is left by Xiao Liu?"

Chang Yue pointed to the shape of the corners in the circle and said: "The symbols we generally agree on, the horns of Xiaoliu are all facing outward, or when there is no other indication, they are all towards the Lu, I use a square, just like the mark made outside the Huangfu the day before yesterday, I put the angle downward, that is, tell him to let him wait for us there." ”

Qin Wen looked at this symbol under Chang Yue and said, "Then what does this represent?"

Chang Yue destroyed the circle with his finger and said: "This circle represents the range of potential force, Xiao Liu has not left a mark just now, it should be afraid of misleading us, now that it is within the range of potential force of the Zhou family, Xiao Liu put the angle into the circle, which means that the monk who caught him should be from the Zhou family." ”

Qin Wen nodded, frowned slightly, and said, "Could it be that we killed the Zhou family's steward at that time and found out, and they met Xiao Liu in the city, so they arrested him in the mountains and forests?"

Chang Yue pondered for a while and said: "This is also possible, generally speaking, the monks in the mountains and forests want to go to the city of expulsion, unless there is a grudge, they will not arrest the monks in the city, after all, there are monks patrolling in the city, if you find out like this, these idle monks will not be able to escape from the city of expulsion even if there are too many people." ”

Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "Now there is no need to think about the reason, after all, we have already caught here, let's study how to save him now, right?

Chang Yue shook his head and said: "There is no indication on it, it should be that Xiao Liu doesn't know where the monks of the Zhou family of the Dao Dao are going to take him, but I know the place where the monks of the Zhou family of the Dao Dao gather, we can go there to check it out, but the defense over there is stricter, and it will be troublesome once they find out." ”

Qin Wen waved his hand and said: "Now that we have found out which monk Xiao Liu was caught by, even if we are half of the success, we can still think of other ways to defend strictly, we are not going to break in, even if it is discovered by a few low-level monks, it is still no problem to run out of their potential range." ”

Chang Yue looked up at the sky, as if to confirm the direction, and then pointed in the direction of his right hand and said, "The Zhou family is in that direction, if we speed up now, we should be able to get to the place where the Zhou family monks gather by tomorrow morning." ”

Xiao Zheng said to Qin Wen at this time: "Since we have found the direction, then let's go, most of the idle monk families here don't even have a courtyard, and after catching someone, they all throw it into the firewood room, I once helped someone to save a monk in the mountains and forests, basically if you sneak in, you won't be discovered." ”

Chang Yue quickened the speed of his travel, and after hearing Xiao Zheng say this, he shook his head slightly and said: "The Zhou family moved out of the city of expulsion, they are much stricter than the ordinary idle monk family, Xiao Liu and I have secretly seen it once, and their newly built courtyard almost occupies half of the valley. ”

The Shi family brothers and Xiao Zheng couldn't help frowning when they heard Chang Yue's words, and Xiao Zheng's tone was also cautious: "If there is a courtyard, it will be troublesome, an idle monk family like this can survive in the mountains and forests, and there must be at least one or two spirit level monks in the family, and there are five of us now, the highest is the middle level of the Xuan Master, and the difference in strength is still relatively large." ”

Qin Wen waved his hand and said: "We don't have to break in this time, I'm going to determine the location of Xiao Liu first, if there is a chance to rescue it, I will give it a try, if there is really no chance, let's go back to the city of expulsion first to find a way, and when the time comes, hire a few spiritual level monks to do private work, and make trouble for the Zhou family, maybe we can find an opportunity." ”

Chang Yue didn't expect that Qin Wen would not only take risks alone in order to save Xiao Liu, but also prepare to hire a spirit level cultivator, he had never seen this kind of proprietor in the Expulsion City, and he was even more determined to follow Qin Wen in his heart.

After two hours of flying, the five of them finally came to the periphery of the gathering place of the Zhou family monks, Chang Yue stopped on a hillside, signaling that there were Zhou family monks on duty in front of them, Qin Wen and Xiao Zheng had already discovered it, and the five of them made eye contact, and then gently climbed on top of several big trees nearby.

After about half a pillar of incense, two monks from the Xuanshi realm came down the hillside, and after walking under the big tree where Qin Wen and they were, they continued to circle in the southwest direction, and after the two monks left the vicinity, Chang Yue whispered to Qin Wen next to him: "Under this hillside is the valley where the Zhou family is located. ”

Qin Wen looked at the mountains and forests in front of him, so he waved his hand at the Shi family brothers and Xiao Zheng behind him, and then flew forward at the distance of ten big trees, and after stopping at the tree, he finally saw the whole picture of the Zhou family's courtyard in the valley.

Sure enough, as Chang Yue said, the valley below is basically more than twenty miles in radius, and half of the entire valley is occupied by a large manor, which is covered with dense houses, and now is the time to get up in the morning, and the curling smoke rises in the valley from time to time.

After seeing such a scene, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and said: "There should be thousands of people living here, if we search outside like this, it is estimated that the possibility of finding Xiao Liu is not too great, can we find a way to sneak in first?" (To be continued......)
