Chapter 502: The Third Shelter
Beihe followed Zhang Jiuniang all the way to a stone hall built by Zhang's family in the underground of the Jinyuan stone vein.
This stone hall is quite simple, but it is guarded by a full three-layer formation, even if it is a Yuan Infant Cultivator, he will not want to forcibly break it in a short period of time.
At this time, on the high seat at the front of the stone hall, a young woman dressed in a long white dress and looked to be thirty-five or sixteen years old was sitting upright on it.
This young woman is delicate and petite, and there is a small beauty mole in the center of her eyebrows, her expression is solemn, giving people a feeling that no one is close.
And this is the infant elder of the Zhang family stationed in this Jinyuan stone vein.
This woman's name is Zhang Lan, she is a monk in the early stage of the Yuan Infant Period, and she is also one of the several monks in the Zhang family who have advanced from the Yudan period to the Yuan Infant Stage over the years, and this woman is still a member of the Zhang family's own clan, but she is not an elder with a foreign surname.
At this time, Zhang Lan looked at Beihe condescendingly and looked him up and down. At the same time, Beihe could also feel a divine consciousness that seemed to be nothing, enveloping him.
He didn't mind this, and even took the initiative to release the cultivation of the middle stage of the knot pill on his body, and let this woman investigate.
After a while, Zhang Lan withdrew her gaze, and then nodded, "Zhang Jiu'er, since it is the person you introduced, there is nothing to investigate in detail." I will send a letter to the family, and Elder Zhang Tianguang will arrange his specific matters at that time. ”
Zhang Tianguang is the infant monk of the Zhang family who is in charge of personnel, and he has met Beihe when he first set foot in the Zhang family.
"Thank you for getting old. Zhang Jiuniang bowed slightly.
Beihe also arched his hand to Zhang Lan on the main seat to express his gratitude.
If it was said that the Lanshan Sect was his first place to live, then the Ungong Mountain was the second, and as for the current Zhang family, it was the third.
"If it's all right, go down. "Just listen to Zhang Landao.
"Yes!"
Zhang Jiuniang bowed down to receive the order, and then prepared to retreat with Beihe.
"Huh!"
At this moment, there was a sound of breaking wind behind the two. I saw a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, whose figure pulled out an afterimage, appeared in the stone hall, and looked at Zhang Lan in front of him and said in a slightly anxious manner: "Elder, something is wrong!"
"Huh?" Zhang Lan frowned, "What's the matter!"
"Elder Zhang Ziqi has been attacked!"
"Huh!"
Almost as soon as this person's voice fell, he saw Zhang Lan on the high seat disappear without a trace.
The yellow-robed man who rushed here to report immediately followed behind Zhang Lan and disappeared into the stone hall in an instant.
After seeing this scene, Beihe was confused and didn't know what was going on.
Zhang Jiuniang, who was beside him, only thought about it for a moment, and then showed a strong surprise.
"What's going on!"
I only heard Beihe ask.
"A few months ago, a monk stationed here was attacked by others and killed directly, but I didn't expect this to happen today. ”
"Oh?"
Beihe was extremely surprised, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.
You must know that this Jin Yuan Stone vein has layers of prohibitions inside and out, and outsiders don't want to set foot in this place at all.
But even so, there are still people who have been attacked, and they are still monks in the Yudan period, which is somewhat intriguing.
In Beihe's opinion, those who can attack the monks of the Yudan stage are at least people of the same level of cultivation, or even monks of the Yuan Infant stage, and maybe they are still the ghosts who do it.
When he thought so, the two of them stopped where they were and did not leave.
At this time, it was a full half an hour, and I saw that the previous Elder Zhang Lan was the leader, and there were several other figures, rushing towards this place and appearing in the main hall.
These people have both men and women, but from them, all of them exude the cultivation fluctuations of the Dan period. Obviously, these people, like Zhang Jiuniang, are all monks of the Yudan period sent by the Zhang family to garrison here.
Among these people, Beihe saw Cheng Zhongwu impressively.
After Zhang Lan appeared here, she sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, facing the people below. And looking at this woman's ugly face, everyone was silent for a while.
The monk named Zhang Ziqi had already fallen, which made the Yuan Infant monk in front of him extremely angry in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Lanjiang's gaze swept over everyone one by one.
In her opinion, under such a strict guard here, there were actually monks in the Yudan period who were attacked and killed, and it was very likely that the inner ghost did it.
If it's an inner ghost, then it's among these people in front of you.
When they felt the woman's gaze sweeping, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to face it.
"Let's go down!"
After a while, but Zhang Lan suddenly gave an order.
"Yes!"
Although the people were surprised, they still gave orders one after another and retreated.
But just when Zhang Jiuniang and Beihe were also about to leave, they only heard Zhang Lan say: "Jiu'er, Bei Xiaoyou, you two stay for a while." ”
Hearing this, the two of them paused, looked at each other, and then turned around.
The other monks of the Yudan period couldn't help but look at Zhang Jiuniang and Beihe suspiciously.
When Cheng Zhongwu in the crowd saw Beihe, he was obviously surprised, but he didn't expect Beihe to come back after not seeing him for more than half a year.
And he was also a little puzzled and puzzled about Zhang Lan, a monk in the Yuan Infant Stage, who would leave Beihe and Zhang Jiuniang.
But at this moment, he didn't dare to ask, so he left this place with the other eight monks of the Yudan period.
When everyone left, only the three of Beihe were left in the stone hall in front of them.
At this time, Zhang Lan looked at Beihe Road: "Since Beidaoyou is willing to join my Zhang family, then now the concubine will arrange a task for you." ”
Hearing this, Beihe's expression moved, and he already had some kind of guess in his heart.
But he still heard him ask, "Everything is arranged by the elders." ”
"You take Zhang Ziqi's place and sit here. ”
Beihe secretly said that this was indeed the case, but he did not hesitate, and said, "Okay." ”
"Well," Zhang Lan nodded, and then looked at Zhang Jiuniang, "Jiu'er, next you are responsible for monitoring the movements of the eight elders in the Yudan period here, and if you are attacked twice, there must be internal ghosts." ”
At the end of the words, this Lan face was full of annoyance.
Zhang Ziqi was attacked and killed before, and Beihe and Zhang Jiuniang were with him, so there was naturally no problem with these two people.
Then the inner ghost should be one or even two of the other eight people.
This attack is not as high as the last attack of the monks of the Yudan period, but it is only in the middle of the Yudan.
Among the other eight people, several of them were cultivators in the late stage of the Yudan.
Part of the reason why she arranged for Beihe to replace that Zhang Ziqi is that Beihe is also in the middle stage of the Yudan, and if the one in the secret wants to do it, the target is very likely to be Beihe. At the same time, she also decided that she would pay close attention to Beihe next to see if she could fish out the one in the dark.
What's more, Beihe is a person with a foreign surname, and even if she dies, it doesn't affect her much.
This time, under her hands, two monks of the Dan period of her own clan fell, and this matter will have a great impact on her, and a lot of money will be deducted at the end of the year alone.
It can be said that this Elder Zhang Lan is extremely thoughtful. In a very short time, concrete arrangements were made.
At this time, she thought of something again, and looked at Beihe Dao: "By the way, because it is a halfway to pick up the task, so Bei Xiaoyou's mission only has three hundred high-grade spirit stones a year, you see how it is." ”
Three hundred high-grade spirit stones were less than half of the six hundred per year for other Dan Stage cultivators.
The five-year task has only passed for more than half a year, so Beihe is a little cheap.
But he still arched his hand towards this woman, "Thank you, Elder Zhang." ”
"Well," Zhang Lan was extremely satisfied with his attitude, and then looked at Zhang Jiuniang and said, "Jiu'er, you can take Bei Xiaoyou to familiarize yourself with the underground situation." ”
"Yes, clan elder. Zhang Jiuniang gave up her order.
Then the two of them left the stone hall and retreated.
Seeing the backs of the two disappear, Zhang Lan, who was sitting tall, took out a high-level transmission note, and then punched it into it one by one, and finally pinched and exploded this talisman.
