In the early morning of the turn of the day, Hua Lanting came to the mountain gate early to wait.

The second one to arrive was the disciple of the Tiangang Palace. From Xu Hengchuan's mouth, Hua Lanting has learned his name Cao Jiashu.

Hua Lanting stepped forward to see it, Cao Jiashu nodded, his expression was neither cold nor enthusiastic.

Hua Lanting knew that the previous generation of disciples who could be selected for the Tiangang Hall and the Thunder Punishment Hall had two brushes, and the Tiangang Palace, as an internal law enforcement organization of the sect, was even more feared by the disciples, so he didn't care.

Not long after, Xu Hengchuan came, and when he saw that the people had arrived, he took out a thing and threw it into the air, which grew when he saw the wind, turning into a boat that was not big or small, with a power sail in the middle, looking like it could take five or six people.

Hua Lanting had heard of this kind of flying magic weapon, and it was the first time he had seen the real thing.

The three of them boarded the boat, and after the boat left the ground and took off in mid-air, it raised a protective shield to isolate the air flow in the air, and then gradually accelerated and flew away from the mountain gate.

Seeing that Hua Lanting was very curious, Xu Hengchuan smiled and said: "This baby is called Chongfeng Zhou, the number in the door is not very large, the speed is not fast, and it can't climb too high, and it takes a lot of time to land and charge every half an hour, otherwise this guy eats too many spirit stones, but for those of us who can't fly independently against the wind, it is also a very good means of transportation." ”

"The Jiang family is eight or nine hundred miles away, and it is the farthest affiliated family from the door, otherwise there is no need for a storm boat. ”

"Speaking of this Jiang family, from the point of view of time, it is the latest cultivation clan in the attached sect, with a scale of hundreds of people, the ancestors in the clan have cultivation close to the rebirth realm, and there are a few masters of the cultivation realm of the cultivation realm, and it can barely be said to be a medium-sized family in the Xianzhou. ”

"Our task on this trip is to inquire and collect evidence, and if necessary, we will bring the main people involved in the case back to the door for questioning. ”

"There are a lot of resources in the mountains near Jiang's house, and they are proud of their contribution to the sect. I think that back then, there were big factions in the south who declared war on them, and they were able to protect us by taking refuge in us, but I didn't expect to be so uneasy. ”

Along the way, except for the time to land and recharge, Xu Hengchuan and Cao Jiashu mostly meditated in the boat, but Hua Lanting was flying in the air for the first time, so he couldn't help but look east and west to watch the scenery of Xianzhou that he had never seen before.

Just out of the mountain gate is a large expanse of mountains and peaks, dense forests and winding rivers, and then south out of the range of Mengbi Shenghua Mountain, the scenery changes, sometimes it is a desolate and quiet barren jungle, sometimes it is a scattered village and town farmhouse, as well as a large lake wetland and hills and ravines or distribution.

During this period, Hua Lanting felt the aura of an extremely powerful creature that frightened him several times in the low air.

Either because Xu Hengchuan was in charge, or because there was a mark on the storm boat that was free in Vientiane Gate, and no creatures attacked them, and several huge flying spirit beasts also avoided them when they saw them.

In this way, it flew and stopped, and by the time the sky was slightly faint in the afternoon, it had already approached the territory of the Jiang family.

The topography here is very different from before, with mountain peaks towering everywhere, and the slopes are slow and sharp, some are sharp like spikes breaking through the air, some are shaped like stone pillars inserting into the ground, and some are like continuous waves, shining with different colors and brilliance under the illumination of the afternoon sun.

While lamenting the miracle of the Creator, Hua Lanting suddenly floated in his mind a sixteen-character order with a magnificent imagination of a generation of heroes who couldn't remember where he had read:

mountain

The fast horse is whipped and not saddled.

Looking back,

Three feet from the sky.

mountain

Turning the sea over the river and rolling the huge waves.

Rushing Rush,

The battle of 10,000 horses is still in full swing.

mountain

Piercing the blue sky is not broken.

Heaven wants to fall,

In the meantime, the pillar is relied upon.

Soon, Xu Hengchuan controlled the boat to press the cloud head and flew close to the dense forest.

After flying for a long time, Xu Hengchuan looked surprised, and said to himself: "Why is this place so quiet, it is said that there should be people mining in the several mining areas that you pass by?"

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Xu Hengchuan hurried to Jiangjiabao, the location of the Jiang family.

After a while, they landed in front of the gate of Jiangjiabao.

Jiangjiabao was not built on the mountain, but a large group of houses on the flat land at the foot of the mountain in the mountain col.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and there was no one at the gate of the Jiang family and the empty field in front of it, only the eight dead wind lamps on the main gate were swaying in the breeze, and the courtyard I saw before landing was also dark, and there was a strange atmosphere in the depression inside and outside.

Hua Lanting was secretly vigilant in his heart, and Cao Jiashu stepped forward and slapped the door knocker to call the door.

After knocking a few times, someone opened the door and came out, seeing that the outfits were two ordinary gatekeeper disciples, and the three of them saw that someone answered the door, and their doubts were slightly reduced.

The two asked about their identities and origins, and after Cao Jiashu reported their names, the two disciples behaved in line with the usual practice, and with surprise in respect, one of them rushed in to report.

This time, he waited for a long time, during which Cao Jiashu asked why it was so deserted outside the fort, and the Jiang family disciple who stayed behind replied that the clan had been gathering all the clansmen to practice a formation recently, so it seemed pure, and he was not qualified to know the specific situation.

Just when Xu Hengchuan was about to get impatient, someone finally came out, and before the person arrived, the laughter had arrived: "Who is my Dao, it turned out that Deacon Xu was coming, and he was disappointed, so he complained and confessed." ”

Xu Hengchuan saw that he was known to someone who had a relationship, and he was Jiang Ji, the younger brother of Jiang Ning, the contemporary head of the Jiang family, and the second ancestor of the Jiang family.

Jiang She welcomed the three of them in and took them to the atrium reception hall, the lights had been lit along the road, Jiang She was very enthusiastic, and he kept catching up with Xu Hengchuan on the way.

When they arrived at the guest hall, the guests and hosts sat down, Jiang Ji served tea to people, but Hualan Ting caught a faint strange smell from the smoke of the fire candle and the hazy tea fragrance.

Xu Hengchuan first asked: "Your family master can come from the door, I really have something important to inquire." ”

Jiang Ji replied: "Here, my brother didn't go out, but it was unfortunate that Deacon Xu came, he was leading his clan to improve an ancestral fort protection formation recently, and now he is at a critical moment, so he couldn't come out to entertain the guests in person, and he asked me to apologize." ”

"However, Deacon Xu doesn't have to worry, my brother will be able to leave the customs tomorrow at noon, so I also ask the three of you to stay in the fort for one night, and it is not too late to discuss anything. ”

Xu Hengchuan frowned slightly, and said: "The matter is not small, and it is also very urgent, I am afraid that it will not be clear to use the emergency sound transmission formation, otherwise I don't have to go on this trip in person, Brother Jiang, do you want to ask your family master to come out and talk temporarily." ”

Jiang Ji's face was embarrassed, and he rubbed his hands and said: "It's not that our Jiang family doesn't give face to Shangzong, it's really that the formation can't be separated from the presiding over of my brother at this time, otherwise the previous efforts will be wasted, and I ask Deacon Xu to be considerate of one or two, it is less than a day to do it, do you think it's okay?"

Xu Hengchuan pondered for a while, seeing that when it came to this, it was not good to force it again, so he nodded helplessly.

Seeing that he agreed, Jiang Ji immediately got up with a smile and beckoned his subordinates, and was about to take them to dinner.

Hua Lanting always felt that something was wrong in his heart, not to mention that Jiang's family was weird outside the house, this Jiang Ji seemed to be enthusiastic, but his words flickered, and there was a sense of prevarication in his words, more like he was eager to settle them down.

Maybe it was really a critical period when the Jiang family was busy practicing and perfecting the formation? But where did that inexplicable smell come from?

Although there were doubts, Hua Lanting saw that Xu Hengchuan, who was in charge, no longer insisted, so he kept silent, and as everyone stood up and walked out, it seemed that this Deacon Xu himself was not a strong character, and he was not willing to take out the shelf of the main sect to suppress people.

Just thinking about it, Xu Hengchuan, who had not yet walked out of the living room, suddenly stopped and said to Jiang Ji: "Brother Jiang, it has just been dark, and it is still early to eat, this is the first time that Deacon has come to your Jiangjiabao, why don't you take us to visit it first." As he spoke, he was about to walk to the back hall.

Jiang Ji hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "Deacon Xu, please stay, although it is not dark this day, it is also dark, it is not suitable for sightseeing, it is better to wait for tomorrow." Tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon, my brother will definitely let him personally accompany you to go around the castle and the mountains, our thousand mountains are still very distinctive and attractive. ”

Xu Hengchuan looked at Jiang Ji's hand in front of him, nodded and said lightly: "It's okay." Besides, Lao Jiang, how can I smell a faint agarwood fragrance in this courtyard?"

Jiang Ji was stunned, his face changed slightly, and he immediately said with a smile: "Ah, yes, yes, that's the case, my brother has always liked incense, so I bought a lot of agarwood from the south, and transplanted several agarwood trees, and I will watch them together tomorrow afternoon, and watch them together, haha." ”

This time, Xu Hengchuan's face changed slightly, he slowly turned around and walked towards the door, put one hand on Jiang Ji's shoulder, and said in his mouth: "Good to say, easy to say." ”

When his hand was about to buckle Jiang Ji's shoulder socket, a person suddenly burst out of the back hall, and with a wave of his hand, a white bone skull conjured out, and at the same time, two white flames erupted from the hollow eye socket of the skull and shot towards Xu Hengchuan.

Someone came and shouted at Jiang Ji: "You idiot, you're exposed, the second plan, let's do it together!"

Jiang Ji didn't understand where he showed his feet, but he also reacted that he was seen to be flawed, Xu Hengchuan's shoulder grabbed to restrain him, but fortunately he was blocked by the skull flames.

In fact, even Hua Lanting felt abnormal, and smelled a strange smell, as a senior deacon of the Thunder Punishment Palace, how could Xu Hengchuan, who was born in Kaiyang Peak, not notice it, he even recognized a faint bloody qi from the extremely faint aroma.

His request to visit and ask Jiang Ji is a test, the smell contains a little agarwood unique smell is true, but Jiang Ji, who does not know this way, knows that agarwood trees, agarwood and agarwood can not be equated in the eyes of connoisseurs, strictly speaking, it can even be said that there is a great difference, not to mention that the so-called agarwood tree will not grow naturally in this area at all.

There must be fraud among them, and there must be changes in the Jiang family!

That's why he quietly wanted to sneak attack Jiang Ji, first having a hostage in his hand and then acting with the camera.

Unexpectedly, this move was also recognized, seeing that this person's magic skills are only higher than his own, and the person is completely born, he is definitely not from the Jiang family, and Jiang She's cultivation is between himself and himself, and after a little deeper analysis, Xu Hengchuan's heart sank, his eyes darkened, and he already made a decision in his chest.

didn't dodge, Xu Hengchuan let out a long roar, stomped his feet on the ground violently, and his hands suddenly left and right.

With his body as the boundary, a crimson wall of fire flew up on the flat ground on one side, emitting high-temperature flames, and the air seemed to be fluctuating with scorching, and then turned into a large sea of fire, and the tongue of fire rolled like a wave, covering Jiang Ji, and blocking the skull and white flames.

On the other side of his body, there was also a wave of fire, but the strange thing was that people couldn't feel a trace of temperature, and even a little cold.

This wave of fire was also surging, and it suddenly rolled up Hua Lanting and Cao Jiashu, and threw it far away from the door.

At the same time, Xu Hengchuan's hurried voice sounded in Cao Jiashu's ears:

"The Jiang family colluded with outsiders to rebel! I will cover you, lead Lan Ting to flee quickly, and notify the door to quickly quell the rebellion, and at the latest, there will be a change at noon tomorrow. ”

"Remember, no matter the cost, if you can't escape, you will definitely die!"
