Chapter 380: Lost Dilemma
Liu Yuandao's face was different from what Zhou Xing imagined, he originally thought that the corpse robbers were either ruthless characters with hideous appearances, or tricky roe deer and rat-eyed criminals, but at this time, the person standing not far away was obviously a white-faced Confucian student, and he only had a mid-level spiritual cultivation, presumably this was also the main reason why he had been in the Hanshan Sect for many years, and he had never heard of such characters around.
Only this kind of cultivation dared to handle this matter, to say that there was no one behind him, Zhou Xing did not believe it, therefore, after finding Liu Yuandao, Zhou Xing did not make the first move, but secretly observed for two days, and this Liu Yuandao lived in a simple place, and only today did he take a few servants out and drive the chariot and horse to the southwest.
Zhou Xing carefully embellished at the back of the team, he was fully confident that he would not be discovered by the other party, until two hours later, Liu Yuandao and his subordinates entered the rolling mountains, spiraled up along the snow-capped mountain road, and finally arrived at a deserted mountainside, which looked unremarkable, but Liu Yuandao skillfully groped along the rough stone wall for a while, and the stone wall that originally looked natural suddenly appeared a stone gate.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Xing, who was hiding in the distance, heard Liu Yuandao shouting, but saw that Liu Yuandao led a few people into the cave, and Zhou Xing, who had some tracking experience, did not act rashly, sure enough, after a while, Liu Yuandao and several servants appeared at the stone gate again, holding several machine crossbows in their hands, seeing that there were no living people near the left, they re-entered the stone gate, and after a few breaths, the stone gate was closed, Zhou Xing stood out from the corner, shook off the snow that was deliberately sprinkled on his body, flew a few steps, and quietly arrived near the stone gate, in a hidden corner of the stone wall, he found the mechanism that the other party had just operated。
It seems that the secret lies here, and judging by the size of the mountain and the width of the stone gate, the corpses they stole from all over the world may be hidden here.
However, the stone gate has been closed at this time, if it is suddenly broken, there may still be Liu Yuandao's servants guarding inside, and rashly entering may be able to find the corpse of the clan uncle, but it will not help to solve the case, and in case this is just a place that has nothing to do with it, the clue may be cut off, using strong means, the ordinary ruffians may confess everything, but for the monk, without the ability to search for souls, there is no guarantee that the other party is telling the truth.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xing once again found a hidden corner to hide, patiently hibernating, half an hour later, the stone gate opened again, Liu Yuandao and several servants rushed out, carefully closed the stone gate, and used spiritual power to stir up the nearby snow, covering up the traces of comings and goings, and then went straight down the mountain and went straight to the direction where he came.
Zhou Xing still didn't move, and hibernate again for half an hour, and sure enough, two servants returned halfway to confirm that there was no change here, so they left with peace of mind.
These people are very cautious.
Sensing that the comers were far away again, Zhou Xing stood up again, flew up the mountain, found the hidden mechanism, opened the stone gate, grabbed a night pearl, and carefully sensed that there was no life breath behind the stone gate, and then carefully stepped in.
This is a cave that is suspected to have been excavated for many years, on the stone wall that is not smooth, sometimes or protruding sharp stones, indicating that this was originally a natural stone cave, and then it was artificially expanded, to today's situation, in the right side of the stone gate seven feet, Zhou Xing found a mechanism, so he took this opportunity to close the stone gate, and hurriedly arranged a simple vigilant formation at the entrance, although it is only useful for ordinary people, but if Liu Yuandao's subordinates return again, they will definitely warn, enter the closed place, and it is still necessary to beware of being blocked from the way, although he thinks that if he really moves, those people may not be his opponents。
The night pearl was not bright, Zhou Xing crushed a spirit stone with his palm, poured it into the aura, wrapped it on the night pearl, and the light suddenly flourished, with this light, Zhou Xing moved forward smoothly, and soon found several ear chambers in the depths of the cave. The temperature here is extremely cold, and there are large pieces of snow crystal on the surface, which is a low-grade gem produced in the hometown of the Hanshan faction, the price is low, but it has the effect of hiding the cold, and above the snow crystal, there are dozens of corpses on display, Zhou Xing simply counted for a moment, and found that there were as many as two hundred bodies in the seven ear chambers.
Holding back all kinds of discomfort in his heart, as well as the suffocating smell that filled his nose, Zhou Xing carefully identified, and finally found the corpse of the clan uncle, carefully cleared out a storage bag, put the corpse of the clan uncle into it, grabbed several large pieces of snow crystal, and put them together.
Reciting all kinds of prayers in his heart, Zhou Xing rearranged the corpse near Zuo, filled the position of the clan uncle, and it was not so abrupt, so he silently withdrew from the ear chamber, since it had been successful
After finding the body of the clan uncle, he planned to find a piece of feng shui treasure and rebury it, and then find a way to control Liu Yuandao and ask the reason for the matter.
Destroying the hastily arranged simple warning array, Zhou Xing was about to leave, but his inspiration was suddenly touched, and he noticed that someone was approaching here, he hurriedly searched left and right, but did not find a suitable hiding place, so he hurriedly took three steps and made two steps, found the nearest ear chamber, moved the corpses on the left and right, made a place, and pulled a few pieces of foul-smelling shroud from the nearby pile of rotten clothes, controlled his spiritual power to wrap himself, wiped the dust on his face, and lay down like this.
Holding his breath, he heard the sound of several people hurrying in.
"Ma San, your master Liu Yuandao is also too careless, why is the stone gate outside not covered up at all?" said a man with a sharp voice, with a spiritual level fluctuation similar to Liu Yuandao's cultivation between his words, and behind him, there were also a group of mortal servants, and Zhou Xing, who was not far from them, could sense that there were five people in his entourage. And listening to the tone of this monk's speech, along with him, there were also Liu Yuandao's servants before.
"Immortal Lei Master, I remember that my master did it, probably because of the strong wind and snow today. The servant carefully explained, "Why don't you inspect the goods a priori?"
"What is the good test of the dead? As long as the number is two hundred, Hu Dabiao, you go and count one or two, and then all the money will be transported to Ruoli City, and handed over to the person I said before. Do you have any paperwork along the way?"
"Immortal Master Lei can rest assured. However, if the business that left the city and entered Huoyunling can be handled by us in the same way, we also have a lot of business there. ”
"Huh, one yard to one yard, do your duty, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, Qilong, are you talking too much?" he looked at a weak young man behind him dissatisfied.
"Uncle Shi, I also find it troublesome, Hu Dabiao's Daxiang Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as a good place to eat, why bother to find one?"
"Trouble, trouble, you know trouble!" the monk rebuked, but did not get angry, "do what I told you to do!"
"Yes, Uncle Shi!" The weak young man replied cautiously, and then led a few servants to count the corpses together, Zhou Xing, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be a corpse, couldn't help but secretly wonder, fortunately, he didn't leave, otherwise there would be one less, which would definitely cause the other party to be alert, but this is okay, if he can disguise it, he can see where they are going, thinking about this, he carefully held his breath, until the two servants lifted his head and feet, he secretly used his spiritual power to disguise his body as a stiff appearance, and only when he got out of the cave and felt the cold wind entering his body, he secretly vomited the turbidity in his chest。
Syllable!
Zhou Xing felt that he had been thrown off suddenly, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had been stacked on top of the carriage, adjacent to a corpse that emitted a foul smell, stacked so tightly that he could barely breathe.
At this moment, it seemed that it was closer to this puzzle, Zhou Xing closed his eyes peacefully, and soon after, the carriage moved, judging from the direction, it was indeed westward, slightly northern.
If they left the city on the edge of Huoyun Ridge, what would they do there by smuggling the corpses?
............
Shallow Mountain Sect, northwest of Zhanchuan Town, in an unknown cave.
Wu Xuan, who had sneaked into this place rashly, still did not find an exit, but he also had his own way, which was to dig a hole upward, and as the dirt around him piled up more and more, he found it difficult to dig.
It seems that there is a formation here to protect the nearby shape, making it difficult to be destroyed, Wu Xuan pondered for a while, then changed the way and dug down instead, this time it was surprisingly smooth.
Soon, he arrived at a new location, but the neighborhood didn't seem to be much different from Fang Cai, so he concocted the same method, and it was not until seven times, when most of the spiritual power was used, that the surrounding scenery changed significantly.
On the wet walls, every five feet, there were as few as seven or eight, as many as fifteen strange patterns of various colored spars, which at first looked chaotic and disorderly, and there was no order to follow, but when he saw too much, Wu Xuan suddenly discovered the pattern.
It seems to be a pattern of stars in the sky, and Wu Xuan, who usually doesn't have many stargazers, although he only recognizes a few of them, but based on this, it is speculated that it should be so. Following these patterns downward, Wu Xuan did not lose his way this time, and when he had traveled nearly a hundred zhang, he came to an empty place.
This is a room that is more than ten zhang high and more than forty zhang square. Around the room, there are countless spars, like stars in a moonless night, and on the solid surface, more blood-red spars and sky-blue spars hold up a rosette-like place.
On the golden lotus seat, a white-robed monk sat peacefully in the middle, closed his eyes and meditated, with the flickering of the surrounding spars, his chest fell together, as if he was spitting, but it was more like waiting for the opportunity, covering the aura of this place, although it was slightly rich because of all kinds of spars, but it was not enough to meet the level required by this Xuan-level monk.
"Since you're here, it's fate. ”
The monk on the lotus seat suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes focused, and he was bound to Wu Xuan, with a wave of spiritual energy shaking on his sleeve robe, Wu Xuan suddenly felt that the surrounding spars were releasing layers of imprisoned power, so that he could not move a little, so the spiritual energy in his hand was suddenly released, poured into several spirit runes that had already been pinched in his hand, and was about to shake off, but he suddenly felt a movement under his feet, and the originally solid ground became loose and abnormal, he hurriedly sacrificed his spiritual energy to float up with a flying sword, but the loose and slippery soil gathered into a round platform, carrying it on it, floating in the air。
"I have no ill intentions. "The humanity on the lotus, "I am Shangguan Boliang, a member of the Li Sect, I don't know what to call a Taoist friend?"
"Wu Xuan. ”
Wu Xuan was a little flustered at this time, but he still reported his name, and added a sentence at the end, "The outer deacon of the Qingyu Sect stationed in the Qianshan Sect passed through here and strayed into this place, disturbing Your Excellency, I hope you will forgive me." Although his mouth was soft, he held a few spirit runes in his hand again, planning to leave here desperately if things went wrong.
"I see. Shangguan Boliang did not comment on Wu Xuan's identity, and once again threw off a stream of aura in his hand, pouring it into the surrounding spars, and the passage when Wu Xuan came when he said goodbye was suddenly erased and closed.
"Don't panic. I said I had no ill intentions. Seeing that Wu Xuan's face seemed to change color, Shangguan Boliang explained, "This is the Star Dou Great Array I arranged, wanting to use the power of the leylines to help me break through the confinement of cultivation, and now I find that it is slightly different from what I originally expected. ”
"This ...... Can I refuse?" Hearing the word risk, Wu Xuan instinctively wanted to get out of here, and said in his heart, since you have no malice, why do you want to cut off my way back, just by virtue of this, normal people with a little experience will not believe it.
"No!" Shangguan Boliang said with a smile, "I reached an agreement with the Assayama Sect before, this is a closed and forbidden place, and it is not easy to wait for you to enter this place by mistake. If it comes, it will be safe, why should Taoist friends refuse this great opportunity?"
"This ......" Wu Xuan subconsciously touched the spirit rune in his hand, but suddenly felt another violent shaking of the mountain, and his mind was like a turbid wave, and he suddenly lost his square inch.
"Don't act rashly, otherwise the infusion of the power of the leylines may be unbearable. Experience carefully, absorb a little homeopathically, and adapt to this change as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will use the formation to open up here, and you and I will share the opportunity of the release of the crack, so as to get a glimpse of the higher realm. In the depths of the leylines, there is even more likely to be a hidden treasure, and then you and I will explore it together, wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Not good at all......
Wu Xuan's heart was very anxious, to say that this opportunity would come, it was really unexpected, although the Shangguan Boliang in front of him did not look like a vicious and ruthless person, but judging from the abnormal movement of the earth veins just now, it was also thrilling to get this opportunity, like a chestnut in the fire.
"I ......"
His lips fluttered, and he was about to speak, when another movement of the earth veins came, and his mind was like a surge crashing on the shore again, he quickly calmed down, sat on the hastily condensed mud platform, and breathed along the fluctuations of the earth veins, although he could feel the spiritual energy in his body overflowing, and there were signs of breaking through the shackles of the past, but he really regretted it now, why couldn't he help but be curious to explore this place, so as to fall into such a predicament.
If it weren't for this death, Wu Xuan thought to himself that he would have been drinking tea in Luochuan of the Ashalan Sect.
............
It's time to go back to Luochuan and plan to go to the Yufeng Sect to participate in the "Lingyong Feast", Jiang Feng waited for about an hour after the alliance was dispersed, and when the sunset sank, he got the corresponding documents, carefully put away the things, and once again overlooked the scenery of Zhuqiao City of Qingyu Sect for a moment, and his heart was immediately much calmer.
He was about to leave, but an inspiration struck him.
He felt a rich bundle of spiritual power that was no less than his own level, like a thick rope, wrapped in a lot of malice, and wrapped around him.
What a guts!
Do you dare to do it here?
Jiang Feng suddenly jumped out of the window, and with the help of a strong but not very pure aura, he floated steadily in mid-air, and went straight to the comer.
