In the south of Heishuimen, at the northern foot of Jade Python Mountain on the border with the Great Wei Kingdom.

In the hastily built camp, there were busy figures everywhere, whether it was monks or laymen, and on the right arm, they all wore the same color of the Jincheng faction symbol—two golden palaces towering on top of each other.

The new owner of this room, Sun Baotai, a ground-level early stage monk, was sitting in a temporary residence in the upper center of the camp, which was built on a medium-sized artificial small spiritual vein, coupled with the double spirit gathering array arranged in the room, at the core of the camp, the degree of spiritual energy was as strong as that of a second-order spiritual land.

However, this level of aura was not helpful to Sun Baotai's cultivation.

"Father, the information from Luo Chuan and Zhanchuan Town has been transmitted. A man in a brocade robe strode forward, pushed the door in, and after a hasty salute, stood beside Sun Baotai, and at this time, sitting opposite sat a man who looked and dressed very similarly to him, it was his twin brother Sun Yinghu.

"Yinglong, tell me how the situation is?"

"Jiang Feng, the head of the Asshan Sect, has not been in Luochuan for the past few days, and has just appeared alone in Zhanchuan Town. Our spy couldn't get too close, and we only saw him settling down in a shop that bought herbs and sold pills. ”

"The hometown of Heishuimen used to be the territory of the Song Lake Sect, and there were many legends of treasures before. The Asama Sect has been building a lot of money recently, and they have always been poor and weak in the past, and it is impossible to support it without a windfall, so I suspect that this fang may come from this treasure. Sun Baotai's face was calm, "I couldn't find the right time to do it yet, since he is here, then let's act early." ”

"Yes, father," Sun Yinglong replied, "There is one more thing, Jiang Feng has already sent someone to start repairing Luo Chuan's large array, and it seems that he has discovered a flaw in it. ”

"Sooner or later, it will be discovered, and sooner or later it will be investigated, it is what we are doing in secret. ”

"But we didn't do it. Sun Yinghu, who was on the side, leaned forward, grabbed the conversation and said, "It's Su Liqing, that old guy, who deliberately slandered us." ”

How many times have I told you, anger without strength is meaningless, it will only lose your mind!"

"Yes, the child knows what is wrong. Sun Yinghu was reprimanded, and his face turned slightly red, "It's just father, I don't understand why we have to bear this matter silently, when the time comes, the Asayama Sect will definitely sprinkle its resentment on us." ”

"Isn't that just right?"

Sun Baotai smiled, "I have been with Su Zhangmen for many years, this is his style, not to let any foreign minister have the opportunity to make friends with the surrounding forces, either to isolate or slander, only in this way will everyone turn their hearts to the sect and obey his orders." Whether we did it or not, we must accept it and insist that it was we who did it. ”

"Remember, at any time, in any place, don't criticize the mistakes of the boss at will, once you get used to it, it is difficult to change, and it is easy for people to catch the handle. Our Jincheng faction's officials are all over the place, and they are everywhere, and don't forget your own uncle, but he is one of them. ”

"Moreover, once the Asayama Sect can't bear to flirt and challenge us, we will have the opportunity to pull them into the water, which is not only in line with the expectations of the leader, but also in our interests. Sun Baotai leaned back, adjusted his sitting posture, and lowered his voice, "Once they enter the swamp and get the things, it will be the time for us to do it, don't forget, this is now the territory of the Jincheng faction, and everything is carried by the master, and it has nothing to do with us." What the two of you have to do is to make thorough preparations for this matter, and if it is reasonable, it is best to keep him here, and the worst is to seriously injure this fang. ”

After the two retreated, Sun Baotai took out another jade slip, carefully studied every word in it, and thought for a long time before ordering the guards to call his henchman Zhao Yunfeng.

"You go to Tianli Gate and tell them that I have agreed to all the conditions, including 'do it yourself', but I need to exchange all the parts I deserve for spirit stones. ”

"Yes, master, I'll go now, but ......"

"But what?

"Among those people, you have the lowest level of cultivation, will you suffer?"

"Don't worry, I have my own plans, and if necessary, I will carry the 'Dragon's Blood Immovable Armor'. ”

"So the villain is relieved, I'll set off later, just now I saw the two sons go out in a hurry, isn't it here, also have to take action?"

"It also depends on the situation, Jiang Feng, the head of the Asshan Sect, is only a Xuan level, there is nothing to worry about, as long as he takes anything from here, we can take the word 'reason', even if we kill him, I believe that the Asshan Sect will not dare to raise troops to ask for guilt because of this matter, unless they are willing to abandon the protection of the patriarchal system, and once they lose it, can they still hold on to that territory?"

"However, the policy set for us by the master is to hold this swamp. Wouldn't this be too radical......" Zhao Yun

Feng said with some worry that his temples were gray and his eyes were deep-set, which was caused by excessive worry on weekdays.

"How do you cultivate here? I'm fine, can you balance your mind?"

Sun Baotai asked rhetorically, "There is not even a decent spiritual land here, Master Su's abacus is very simple, let me smash all my savings here for many years, so that I don't have the energy to get involved in the battle in the door, but I can't let him get his wish, once I lose all the spirit stones, won't I let him handle it?"

"Therefore, I deliberately made a gesture of going south, so as to avoid spending money in this swamp pit, and also to make a trend of fighting for land, that is, to misunderstand Master Su, I will consume my family's strength and help him seize the territory in the south. However, is it so easy to go south? The strength of Tianyin Temple, how can our generation easily provoke, why should we leave the northern territory and not take it, and go to the tiger's mouth to grab food? Once the Asayama Sect can't help but launch a battle of the sect because of the death of the head of the sect, or like the story of the Black Water Gate, then it will be a great opportunity for us. ”

"The head of the family, the little one understands, should I stay and help you with everything?"

"No need, what I told you to do is more important, here, there is still your brother Zhao Yunlei to help me, at the moment, we need some external allies. That's the main reason why I agreed to those people's conditions. ”

Sun Baotai outlined his plan one by one, his henchman Zhao Yunfeng is good at everything else, but he is swaying from side to side in major matters, so he must point out the direction and then let him implement the details, which is also his strength.

"Although my younger brother Yunlei's cultivation is close to Xuan-level consummation, he has no strategy and is simple-minded, so please pay attention to the head of the family. ”

"Don't worry, you can go. ”

Sun Baotai's eyebrows trembled, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart, you two brothers are like this, don't you know me, but Zhao Yunfeng can look down on family affection and tell him calmly, and his loyal attitude makes his heart quite useful, so he gave a few more instructions before dismissing Zhao Yunfeng, stood up alone, walked to the front of the case, and studied the topographical pictures around the poisonous spring swamp, and went through the plan from the beginning to make sure that there was nothing missing, and then put his mind at ease.

Next, just wait for the fish to enter the net.

............

Asa Shan Zong, Zhanchuan Town.

The construction schedule of the small spirit veins in this place is relatively backward, and Shangguan Boliang is helping to repair the Luochuan Great Array of the Shallow Mountain Sect, so there is no cave for Jiang Feng to cultivate here.

Jiang Feng could only roughly arrange a simple small spirit gathering array, and relied on this thing to refine the bronze bell obtained from Fang Jinlu, Lei Youqi went to Luochuan to prepare the items to enter the poisonous spring swamp, and he couldn't be idle, the shadow has always been a sharp weapon for his own detection and detection, and now he is trapped in the bronze bell, and he must help him get out of trouble as soon as possible.

Touched by inspiration, Jiang Feng used the general method of sacrificial refining magic weapons to first erase Fang Jinlu's soul mark, and then roughly refined this magic weapon before regaining contact with his own shadow again.

It's just that the shadow seems to have changed a bit.

In the enclosed space of the bronze bell, the shadow and Fang Jinlu's invisible formation spirit puppet have been fused together, although the appearance has not changed much, but in addition to sneaking in the dark, and the ability to have night vision without a body, there is also an additional ability.

Shadows can now emit a paralyzing black glow with some damage. It's just that this black mangs can't be used arbitrarily, and they can only be used once per hour. In terms of strength, it is possible to penetrate the first-order shield, but for smashing the second-order shield, it is more reluctant.

Better than nothing.

Emptying his thoughts, Jiang Feng went out and walked around Zhanchuan Town, which is not a small market, but he didn't know why, and he felt faintly uneasy.

What's the problem?

After thinking for a while, he took an extra turn around Zheng Keyi's shop, but he didn't find anything special, and when he entered the store, he found that his apprentice Jiang Yunqi hadn't slept yet.

"Yunqi, why haven't you slept yet?"

"Master, there is a saying that I don't know whether to say or not. Jiang Yunqi wanted to speak and stopped.

"You and I are masters and apprentices, what can't we talk about?"

"I sensed the danger, the kind that could put my life in danger. Jiang Yunqi said with a serious face, "Master, you know that my Dharma Aspect is the 'Luanming Red Bronze Sword', and the innate awakened Dharma Aspect Skill is 'Danger Prediction', right?"

"Naturally, I know that good skills, but unfortunately they are only useful to you, otherwise, I will let your senior brothers and junior brothers go out with you to practice. "Apprentice Jiang Yunqi is right, this is also one of the important reasons why he was able to escape on the official road of Chixiamen in the first place.

"Last time I went into the swamp with my senior brother, the people from the Jincheng faction followed behind, and I didn't feel the danger, but this time, Master, you want to take me into the swamp, I feel a little inexplicably flustered in my heart. Master, you believe me once, don't you...

...？”

"You mean cancel the Swamp trip?"

"Yes. But Master, if you decide to go, the disciples will naturally follow Master. ”

"Don't panic, don't be busy jumping to conclusions, although your 'danger prediction' may be very accurate, but it is also a prediction made for the current situation, thinking that the teacher's experience, everything in the world, must be seen with a changing eye, maybe things will come to a better place. You go to rest first, and then think about it for the teacher. ”

"Yes, the disciple has been taught. ”

Jiang Yunqi was relieved, the reason why he was waiting here alone was because he felt something, and now that the master was mentally prepared, he could feel at ease. As for danger, I'm not a child, he thought to himself.

Where does the danger come from?

The question is in Song Weiduo's tomb, or are there other forces lurking in the shadows of this swamp, waiting for themselves?

He had been to the tomb before, and after the "Wuyi" team left, he turned back and took away Song Huzong's canonization documents, except that the secret box in it would trigger a powerful mechanism, there seemed to be no other risk, in this regard, he had prepared two non-standard talismans in advance, "Luan Jia Holding Shield Talisman", which should be able to guard against the impact of multiple rounds of mechanisms and ensure the safety of himself and his apprentices.

Will Lei Right Banner turn back halfway?

This probability is very small, the existence of the "Wuyi" team has provided a lot of convenience for everyone in the team, although Jiang Feng did not participate much, but for personal gain, what good is it to lose a friend who can hand over his back to the other party? What's more, in Jiang Feng's expectation, the secret box in Song Weiduo's tomb could not have so many high-value items, and the two most valuable things had already been taken away during the initial exploration.

Excluding these two factors, there is only a hidden force. Who could it be?

The probability of Chixiamen is not large, I believe that their energy is all about training the monk battle formation and preparing for next year's big battle, coupled with the defeat of Donghu County last time, and their own cleanup of the background shop of Luochuan Chixiamen, they should not be so eager to take revenge in a short period of time, but are trying to find a way to break the situation again. Even from the point of view of war, it would be more reasonable to stir up the situation before it starts next fall, and until then, perhaps it would be more valuable for them to live themselves.

As for Lizong, there is no need for this at all, the Wei State is in turmoil, not to mention that they have not been very interested in going north, and it may not be in their consideration at all to murder their own small role.

The Imperial Wind Sect and the Ruijin Sect are not among them, the former has to rely on their own trade routes, and the latter has just reached an intelligence sharing agreement with themselves, and their kneeling postures are good, so they don't need to turn their faces against themselves.

Could it be the Jincheng faction?

It stands to reason that Su Liqing doesn't need to be like this, although he hasn't knelt for a long time, but the letter he submitted to him, between the lines, has also been carefully worded, and there is nothing disrespectful. Even if the Changning Chamber of Commerce was suppressed by Su Liqing's sixth daughter Su Jier because of business and other reasons, he did not take any measures to fight back with the Changning Chamber of Commerce, but only sent a "sincere" letter.

Can't figure it out!

However, through the method of elimination, Jiang Feng found that it seemed that the suspicion of the Jincheng faction was still the greatest. The Jincheng faction, which swallowed the hometown of Heishuimen, may have the will to annex its own Qianshan Sect again.

But the Qianshan Sect is protected by the patriarchal system, which is very different from the situation where the Heishui Sect has long lost its protection and has become a vassal sect, that is to say, if Su Liqing wants to swallow the Qianshan Sect, he must have the Qianshan Sect to start a war first.

Could it be that you just want to get rid of me?

Wrong!

Thinking crookedly, a little too high on himself, in Su Liqing's heart, maybe he doesn't have such a heavy weight, from his own point of view, Su Liqing gave three places to the ruins of Yuan Chu and connived at his youngest daughter to leak his whereabouts, introduced two chambers of commerce such as the Changning Chamber of Commerce to enter the Jincheng faction to share the pressure and prevent the shadow crisis, by supporting the Zhong family to suppress Leng Tingtao's reputation and a series of thunderous moves, and even taking advantage of the chaos in Wei to annex Heishuimen to block the trade route to the south, all of which showed that this person has extremely clever skills, he will definitely not do such a simple and rude thing, just to get rid of himself。

Unless, this is just part of his long-term plan.

Or is it that Sun Baotai? The Jincheng Sect ground-level monk who planted the hidden danger of entering the demon in the Luochuan Great Array, and is also the new owner of the old land of Heishuimen, in other words, does he have this motive?

Well?

Could it be that he had detected his whereabouts in advance and wanted to ambush himself in the swamp? No, even if he entered the swamp, he would have no reason to attack the head of a sect for no reason.

Unless......

Unless he takes his things first, he has the right to attack me, by the way, this is it, Song Weiduo's tomb, speaking of which, isn't it what belongs to him now?
