"The exact situation is not very clear. Meng Xing shook his head and said, "This mansion was taken into custody a long time ago, earlier than Lord Wu arrived, well, it was like this when I was a child."

"However, I grew up in this city, and I have heard some legends about this mansion, which even the lord of the mansion may not know, and it is said that a wealthy merchant moved here more than a hundred years ago and built this mansion.

"At that time, the rich merchant could be said to be the first family of our Huangtong Mansion City, with many members, regardless of men, women, old and young, they were the objects of envy of people, and even the lord of the mansion at that time had to sell a few thin noodles from his family.

But then one day, on the second day, the earth suddenly became extremely hot, and the rich merchant family who lived in this mansion disappeared overnight, and then the mansion was taken into custody by the Yamen of the prefecture. ”

"It seems to be quite legendary. Zhou Heng nodded and smiled, but he paid more attention to this mansion in his heart, even if the rumors were distorted, there would always be a reason, and they couldn't all be regarded as fake.

Then, he followed Meng Xing into the mansion and walked around, taking a look at some of the main places.

I have to say that it is worthy of the house where the first family of Huangtong Mansion lived a hundred years ago, and the exquisite workmanship is not comparable to ordinary people at all.

But as he watched more places, the more inexplicable gloom and depression he felt in Zhou Heng's heart, and he felt as if there was some huge hidden danger here.

"Before that, had this mansion been lived in by someone else?" Zhou Heng asked Meng Xing.

"Yes. Meng Xing let out a long sigh when he said this, and said, "Son, you may not know, in the past, this mansion was one of the important financial revenues of our Fucheng Yamen, and rich people from other places often came to rent here.

"However, because of a new policy promulgated by the county three years ago, the government of each prefecture and county is not allowed to lease the property that has been taken into custody, which has also reduced our income here by a large margin.

"The treatment of us errand boys has dropped a lot, by the way, don't dislike the desolation here.

"Actually, I originally planned to ask someone to clean this place carefully in two days, but I didn't expect you to come back too quickly, so I didn't have time.

"It should be cleaned up in the next few days. ”

"It's okay, I shouldn't have moved in recently, there are Lao Mengtou and Master Wu. Zhou Heng smiled slightly, he didn't dare to really live in this mansion before he found out the problem of this mansion.

Even though many people have lived there over the years, nothing has happened, but he trusts his spiritual instincts.

Subsequently, Zhou Heng said goodbye to Meng Xing and went to visit Liao Quancheng.

This Dr. Liao has a good reputation in the city of Huangtong Mansion, is a famous doctor respected by many people, and runs a pharmacy at home, which is very easy to find.

However, on weekdays, this doctor Liao is not easy to find, and he has to offer a prayer post in advance.

As soon as the housekeeper of the medicine hall heard Zhou Heng's name, he suddenly trembled, and hurriedly ran to the back hall to report, only to run back in a moment, and respectfully invited Zhou Heng to go over with him to see Liao Quancheng.

Such a scene stunned some of the "old guests" in the medicine hall, and they all speculated why Dr. Liao attached so much importance to a young man?

Is it because of the identity of the master of the Hengren List this week?

But Dr. Liao has always only valued the level of medical skills, and he doesn't care much about the level of martial arts, could it be that this Zhou Heng is already a holy hand of medical dao at a young age?

Many people's hearts began to speculate.

Since Liao Quancheng saw Yu He's miraculous recovery, he has regarded Zhou Heng as a hidden medical master, and has always wanted to find an opportunity to visit, but Zhou Heng has had too many things to do these days, and he has no time to see him at all.

Therefore, as soon as this Dr. Liao heard that Zhou Heng took the initiative to find him, he was immediately extremely excited, and he couldn't wait to go out to greet him, and he couldn't wait to discuss the mystery of medical skills with Zhou Heng.

However, after Zhou Heng explained his intentions, Liao Quancheng was a little disappointed.

It turned out that Zhou Heng didn't come to him to discuss medical skills.

Rather, it is to trace the whereabouts of the purchaser of medicinal herbs.

Of course, in view of Zhou Heng's superb medical skills, Liao Quanquan had the idea of wanting to have a good relationship with him, so he basically knew everything about Zhou Heng's inquiry.

It's a pity that, as Zhou Heng had expected before, the people of the Three Poison Sect are not fools, and they have done an excellent job of covering up their traces, and there is no way to trace the whereabouts of the Three Poison Sect from Liao Quancheng.

However, although he didn't get the information he wanted, Zhou Heng heard another news from Liao Quancheng.

The buyers of these medicinal materials that he asked Liao Quancheng about just now had also come here to inquire before.

That person is Shen Jingjing, the second lady of the Shen family in the Chengbei District of Huangtong Mansion.

After Zhou Heng thanked Liao Quancheng, he left the medicine hall, but he felt a little puzzled in his heart, and said secretly: "I remember that the Shen family is just an ordinary wealthy family, mainly engaged in the silk cloth business, and has no martial arts background.

"If the person who was chased and killed by the Three Poisons Sect that day was Shen Jingjing, she already had at least eight grades of cultivation, how could an eighteen-year-old martial arts eight rank appear in such an ordinary family?

"Is this a problem with Shen Jingjing herself, or is there a problem with the Shen family, which is not as simple as it seems on the surface?"

With doubts in his heart, Zhou Heng went to find Meng Xing again.

Please ask him to help investigate the Shen family, and whether anything has happened to Shen Jingjing recently, whether it is related to the Three Poison Sect or the Plague Emperor Sect.

After dealing with these, Zhou Heng bought a bunch of vegetables and meat, returned home, and began his retreat career.

He wants to retreat and practice internal strength.

He already has powerful moves and weapon-level blades, and even those he has, many seventh-grade martial artists are not qualified to hold them in their hands.

But he knows very well where his shortcomings are.

Boundary!

Cultivate!

Inner Qi!

This is the essence of martial arts.

Therefore, Zhou Heng planned to work hard to cultivate internal strength, increase internal qi, and improve the proficiency of the Quanzhen Internal Strength Mind Method while waiting for news from the Three Poison Sect and the Plague Emperor Sect.

Give yourself a solid foundation for your martial arts future.

......

Ten days later.

Zhou Heng faced the rising sun, woke up from the concentration of cultivating internal strength, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and took a deep breath of the rising sun, only to feel refreshed.

【Eight Grades】Quanzhen Internal Strength Method: Advanced (2896/3000)

It's very close to Dacheng.

In just ten days, his internal qi had increased by almost half compared to before, and this kind of internal strength cultivation speed was actually shocking.

Zhou Heng himself could clearly feel that the speed of internal cultivation had become faster.

He guessed that it might be related to the "Spirit Root +1" that he had opened the lucky bag before.

Although the basic attribute of the spiritual root is related to the Dao Law, the Quanzhen Internal Strength Mental Method is also the Dao Sect Internal Strength, and there may be some connection between them.

Only in this way can he explain the doubling of his internal cultivation speed.

The improvement of internal qi made Zhou Heng's perception also improved, and after calming down the internal qi operating in his body, he felt that his physical state seemed to be somewhat different from usual.

It's like some breath that is locked in the body on weekdays, but now it suddenly loses the lockdown restriction and begins to escape little by little and spread.

"It's been twenty days?"

Zhou Heng frowned slightly, and took out a piece of rune paper from his arms, on which were painted with dense and complex patterns with cinnabar, but the color of the cinnabar on it had become very light.

This is the talisman seal that Cheng Jiangjian gave him to block the yang energy in his body, so as not to attract ghosts to covet his pure yang body at every turn due to the power of yin and yang aggregation.

Now that the effect period of the Fu Seal has arrived, that is to say, now the Yang Qi on Zhou Heng's body is no longer blocked, according to the law of Yin and Yang Aggregation, in this case, no matter what he does, he may bump into ghosts.

"When Miss Cheng said goodbye, she said goodbye in twenty days, but now that the time has come, she hasn't come yet......" Zhou Heng frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of the news about Yuyang County that he had heard from Wu Zongshan before.

The Zhou Tian Patrol Division determined that the ghost things sealed in Yuyang County were only five or six grades, so they sent two star envoys over, could Cheng Jiangjian be among them?

After all, there seemed to be quite few people in the Zhou Tian Patrol Division.

There is also a follow-up investigation on "Xuanyang", and I don't know if Zhou Tian's Boundary Patrol Division has paid attention to it, and whether Wu Zongshan has received a reply there?

Or if something went wrong in Yuyang County, Cheng Jiangjian couldn't get out.

Didn't you replace the sigil?

Zhou Heng's mind became uncertain, and he even came up with the idea of going to Yuyang County to investigate the situation.

Yang energy must be blocked as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I don't know what kind of ghost things will be attracted and what kind of trouble will be caused.

"First go to the Fucheng Yamen to inquire about the situation in Yuyang County and the recent situation of the Zhou Tian Patrol Division. Zhou Heng made up his mind and was about to go to find Wu Zongshan, but saw Meng Xing coming in a hurry.

"Gongzi Zhou, do you want to go out?" Meng Xing held a letter in his hand, handed it to Zhou Heng, and said, "This is what the mansion lord asked me to give you, and the matter you have to investigate before has preliminary results." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this, he took the letter, and said with a smile: "This is a coincidence, I was planning to go to the Yamen of Fucheng to inquire." ”

Then, when he opened the letter and saw its contents, his brow furrowed.

It seems that there is something wrong with the Zhou Tian Patrol Division, and the news about "Xuanyang" has not been replied to.

And during this time, Wu Zongshan also lost contact with them.

Judging from some recent rumors about the whereabouts of the Three Poison Sects, it is likely that they have a gathering place in Yuyang County, and there may be people from the Plague Emperor Sect appearing.

Shen Jingjing left home more than ten days ago, and she was missing, suspected of going to the direction of Yuyang County.

In addition to this, there is some news about Yuyang County.

In the past ten days, more and more people have heard the rumors of "treasure", and many eight-rank and even seven-rank warriors have heard the wind and gone to Yuyang County.

Now, it has become a place where the wind and clouds converge, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons.

Zhou Heng looked at the contents of the letter, was silent for a long time, then looked up at Meng Xing again, and said, "How many days has Meng Zhutou been guarding here?"

These messages obviously don't look like they were received on the same day.

It's more like a rollup of multiple messages.

And as soon as he went out, Meng Xing came over, which was obviously too coincidental and not normal.

"Zhou Gongzi is thoughtful. Meng Xing said with a smile: "Actually, it's only three days, Gongzi, you are in retreat to practice internal strength, and I don't want to disturb me, when I saw Gongzi go out, I stepped forward." ”

"Thank you. Zhou Heng said sincerely, "Please also ask Meng Zhutou to thank Lord Wu on my behalf, I plan to go to Yuyang County." ”

"Your Excellency has already guessed your intentions, and you have already prepared your horses at the city gate. Meng Xing nodded and smiled: "Please also pay attention to your safety and hope to return as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm. Zhou Heng bowed, and then turned around and returned home.

Pack your luggage and wrap.

Bring gold, a sword, and gloves.

Tie up the waist knife.

In the end, he took out the jade talisman for death that You Ziheng had given him, and used it to draw an invisible Tai Chi pattern on the floor of the room.

This death talisman could give Zhou Heng a chance to resurrect when facing the attack under the Heavenly Three Ranks.

It's just that the resurrection position must be set in advance.

Otherwise, they will be resurrected on the spot, and they will still be killed.

This Taiji diagram is actually the "resurrection point".

After all this is ready.

Zhou Heng climbed over the wall and rushed straight to the city gate.

to the front door.

Fly on the horse.

"Drive!"

All the way to Yuyang County.
