After another three days, the Cold Mountain Festival was getting closer and closer, but it ushered in a night of snowstorm.

On the one hand, Jiang Feng was waiting for Zhou Xing's reply, and on the other hand, he was also waiting for Xiao Mingzhen's body to recover, and the frequent use of the "phase splitting technique" would definitely cause great damage to his body, and it was impossible to rush it. He was not idle, as usual, he took the time to cultivate the "Giant Wood Barrier", and finally raised it to the triple level.

The protective power has just reached the level of the second-order "Wooden Barrier Talisman", at least in the future, you can properly consider buying less second-order water shield talismans, and more importantly, the power of the explosion has increased a lot, and this skill finally has a little value that can be applied to actual combat.

In the early morning, the heavy snow had just stopped, and the long-lost sunlight turned around, clearing the sky full of clouds. However, the wind was more urgent, the window lattice creaked, and there was a bitter cold feeling for a while.

Last night, the shattered spirit stone was directly fed to the spirit of the black snake, which cost Jiang Feng a lot of effort, but fortunately, his body seemed to have adapted to the violent aura, and his pain was becoming dull, but the injury became more and more difficult to recover, and the ordinary healing talisman was always very poor, so he had to come to more than three.

It seems that it is time to prepare for the Black Snake Spirit's "Feeding Array" earlier, this method of arranging this formation has been passed down in the Asakyama Sect, after all, the successive generations of leaders will experience the pain of the torture of the Black Snake Spirit, and they will spend a lot of time researching, innovating, improving the effect or saving costs. Because of the different circumstances of the sect, the Spirit Feeding Array is also divided into three levels: high, medium and low, and there are no less than three arrangement methods for each level.

The lowest-grade formation, among which the cheap arrangement means, requires fifteen second-order pieces, which can be used three times, and each time the spirit of the black snake will slightly reduce the aura to absorb for two months, which is much better than the existing direct shattering spirit stones. This method comes from the fifth generation of head Ren Fei, he was born in the "Seven Leaves Xuanshen" family, reigned for sixty-two years, he was born in the branch and liked to be thrifty, it is said that the robe will be patched many times to continue to use, in fact, with the strength of the Asagama Sect during his reign, there is still no need to use such a cheap spirit feeding array.

As long as Jiang Feng is here, the maid Zheng Keyi will come over early to take care of all kinds of chores, most of the ordinary women have their own consciousness, because the avenue is hopeless, so most of them are pragmatic, to put it in a cliché, it is snobbery, and everything is centered on short-term interests, which has never been seen in her. While taking care of Jiang Feng's daily life, while helping and learning herb identification in Yu Xiaozheng's shop, he will also find time to organize mundane gatherings to collect information by the way, which is already very busy, but Jiang Feng still found that she is learning divination and cooking.

On the other hand, she is also a meticulous and calm person, Jiang Feng often needs to change her appearance in Dayi County, she sees it in her eyes, she does not show surprise, and no matter what Jiang Feng looks like, she can distinguish it at the first time, and it seems that she has her own set of identification methods.

Sound?

Jiang Feng had this kind of guess, after all, his appearance and clothes could be changed, but Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Feng's voices were still quite similar. Maybe you need to pay more attention when you change your identity in the future.

What a hard-working and attentive person. Jiang Feng stretched, stood up, turned his head and moved his body that had been sitting stiffly all night, but he sensed that Yi had taken the tableware and gone and returned.

"The head, Chixiamen and his party, pretending to be a business traveler, have just passed through Dayi County, and have not stopped, and have gone to the direction of the Hanshan faction. ”

"Keyi, how did you find out?"

Jiang Feng came to be interested, the other party did not report at the pass as a diplomatic envoy, most of them had secrets that no one knew, there were still seven days before the Hanshan Sect's puja meeting—of course, it had become a white matter now—and the Chixia Sect had entered the Hanshan Sect early, was it caused by Tuoba Tu's death, or had there been an agreement? Jiang Feng drew a question mark in his heart.

"The maids who accompanied them just passed by the Yuelai Inn and got off the car to get water, and I happened to see the luan bird pattern of the sachet on their bodies, which is a unique style in the Miliao Mountains in the north of Chixiamen, so I guessed this. ”

Very attention to detail, Jiang Feng admired in his heart. Yuelai Inn is one of the intelligence collection points that Jiang Feng has given an additional explanation, as the most "luxurious" inn in Dayi County, the merchants who come and go there will bring more valuable information.

"Did you hear any details?"

"No, I tried to strike up a conversation, but she was very vigilant and tight-lipped. However, when I observed the amount of water used, there were about seven or eight mortals, so I guessed that there should be three or four monks. ”

Zheng Keyi retreated, Jiang Feng thought carefully about the joints, Zeng Baoxian, the master of the Chixia Gate, had a letter with him, and it was common sense to visit by the way, and he should go through the normal pass to report, which would bring a lot of convenience, this kind of "disguise and secret" behavior is contrary to common sense. On the other hand, from the Chixia Gate to the Hanshan Sect, in fact, there is no need to go through the Qianshan Sect at all, and directly turn north to the northwest, there is more than one road leading to the Hanshan Sect, why do you want to go to the Qianshan Sect?

He suddenly remembered that the whereabouts of himself and several elders had been exposed before, and that outsiders had learned that they were going to the Hanshan Sect en masse, and who had leaked the news, and had not been able to find out. The news is only known to himself, Wu Quanzhong, Zheng Luda, and Wang Xiandao, who leaked it and was known by the Hanshan faction and Chixiamen?

Thinking of this, the reason why the Chixia Sect and his party went to the Hanshan Sect through the Ashalan Sect seemed to have a little eyebrows. The person who leaked the news had a secret meeting with Zeng Baoxian, the master of the Chixia Sect, in the Asakan Sect? Simple letters are no longer able to communicate, or is there not enough mutual trust, or is it the final plot to achieve great things? If it is the latter, then how should he face it?

Jiang Feng instantly had the idea of giving up the Hanshan Sect and returning to Luochuan, and it was undoubtedly relatively safe to stay there. But the Hanshan Sect and his party not only involved the opportunity to help the three elders finalize the Ice Fields cultivation ground-this has become especially difficult now, and Ma Ai, the head of the Hanshan Sect, will not give face to the Asshan Sect no matter what he thinks-but in fact, he should be grateful to himself, and he must also personally claim the pot where Tuoba Tu died, and this pot is quite important for the safety of himself, Pu Tiexin, and Yu Xiaozheng.

For a while, things became difficult to decide.

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

The north wind in the afternoon was much lighter, and there were a few hills not far behind the grocery store, on which there were sparse ancient pines and cypresses, and the scenery after the snow was not bad, Jiang Feng went out, planning to empty his thoughts, and a lot of pressure sank in his heart, which would not only affect his mentality, but also affect his cultivation.

It was very quiet here, and on the snowy wilderness leading to the hill, there were only the footprints of Jiang Feng alone. The top of the hill was flat, but not large, and the cleaning charm blew away the snow, revealing two crudely made stone benches. Sitting here and overlooking the scenery of the half of Dayi County, the ancient pines on the head are like a cover, and the gusts of wind occasionally blow away the scattered snowflakes, which is really a good scenery.

Zhou Xing came to the snow and was able to find himself, which shows that he has been looking for the right opportunity.

"Master Jiang," Zhou Xing exhaled heavily, and changed his title, "I have two questions I want to ask, so come over and talk, I don't know if it's convenient." ”

"Absolutely. Sitting here for a long time, Jiang Feng had already suppressed his complicated thoughts, if the other party didn't come, he would probably take the initiative to talk to him tomorrow. If Zhou Xing can join the Qianshan Sect, it will naturally be excellent, even if he doesn't, seeing the change in his attitude, his hostility towards himself has decreased a lot, maybe he can ask about the Hanshan Sect.

"If we join the Asagama Sect, where will we settle down?"

"There are no restrictions on monks being in the inner city of Luochuan, and other mortals in the outer city, or freely moving to other counties or towns. Didn't I say before that you would be given a settling-in fee, and there would be a lot of surplus after simply buying a place to live and making a living. There are few people in the shallow mountain sect, and it is not difficult to find some livelihood, but frankly speaking, cultivation resources are scarce, but they will gradually improve. ”

"Will the female dependents of the clan be forcibly assigned to each family?"

Jiang Feng smiled, and said in his heart Where is this custom, but he didn't know that Zhou Xing was also strange in his heart when he asked this question, after all, he felt that he was not a captive, but he didn't ask and felt uneasy, because an elder in the clan had the same worries because he had experienced something similar.

"This won't be, there has never been such a story in the Asa Mountain Sect, you are too worried. Those who awaken the Dharma in the sect, within 18 women and 20 men, are forbidden to marry and marry, and those who violate the law are expelled from the sect. There is no age limit, but it is still voluntary. By the way, after a month, the Young Monk will be martial arts, and people in your clan can also participate, as long as they get the top fifteen, they will have a salary of fifteen first-order spirit stones every quarter. Didn't you bring six people with you, maybe there will be a talent who can come out on top? ”

Zhou Xing was shocked in his heart, several spirit-level disciples, in fact, he brought them to protect him, and specially explained that they were ambushed from afar and hid their breath, but he didn't expect Jiang Feng to find out early, this person in front of him seemed to have some special means, he naturally didn't know that Jiang Feng's shadow was still guarding in the dark under the mountain, and the wind and grass nearby could see it clearly.

"What arrangements do you have for me?" Seemingly satisfied with the answers to the two questions involving the clansmen, Zhou Xing finally asked where he was going.

"You can take a look at the situation in the shallow mountains before deciding, you were in charge of patrolling and investigating in the Hanshan faction before, and you can also start from here. By the way, how much do you know about the Monk Battle Formation?"

"Battle array?" Zhou Xing originally thought that the other party would ask about his cultivation, or the law phase, but he didn't think that he would ask about this, the monk battle array is the embodiment of the strength of medium and large sects, and he doesn't know how many catties and taels the shallow mountain sect has, but according to Ma Taiji, who caught up, it is only three or four times that of the Hanshan faction.

"I haven't studied this, as far as I know, the monk's battle array training will cost a lot of spirit stones, I don't know if you ......" He wanted to say next, "Do you know it in your heart", but immediately realized that there seemed to be something wrong, Ma Taiji's analysis made him already inclined to join the Asa Mountain Sect in his heart, at this time, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of being disrespectful, at least in the Cold Mountain Sect before, this is a taboo.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it," Jiang Feng knew the doubts in Zhou Xing's heart, "It's true that the Qianshan Sect doesn't have the foundation to train the cultivator battle array, not only the problem of spirit stones, but also the number of monks. So what I want to do is just an improved small-scale monk battle formation, which can have some advantages over the enemy and overcome the problem of weak law phases, and I am already very satisfied. This matter has to be done step by step. I don't know how to explain it, do you understand?"

"I see. ”

Zhou Xing's half-hung heart finally landed, Tuoba Tu is an autocratic and even tyrannical lord, and even greedy for Moke's income from subordinates, but there is one thing in his heart that he particularly understands, that is, the Hanshan faction has few poor people, and he does not fight or fight, but he secretly takes advantage of the stumbling thighs, so that the barren sect can survive to this day. If he encounters a reckless leader, it will not only affect the interests of his family, but also bring the children of the sect into the fire pit.

"I have a set of fragments of the Monk's Battle Array Codex in my hand, and if the head of the sect does not dislike it, I am willing to dedicate it and contribute to the sect. ”

"Are you willing to join the Asama Sect?"

Jiang Feng was overjoyed in his heart, "It's really good." Yes, Zhou Xing, from today onwards, you will be a member of the Asayama. Keep the Codex for now, and if you decide to do it in the future, you still have to be the main force. ”

Jiang Feng didn't say anything to death, today's Q&A, it can be seen that Zhou Xing is a simple person, but other temperaments, I'm afraid it will take time to examine clearly, the monk battle array involves the main combat power of the shallow mountain, he can't rashly hand it over to a new beginner, maybe this matter needs to wait until the end of next year, the time is ripe, and most importantly, he still lacks a lot of funds.

Jiang Feng didn't accept the fragmentary codex, which surprised Zhou Xing a little. However, he was happy that this codex was the only property his grandfather had brought out when he left the family, and it had a special meaning. Even at the most difficult time, he would rather sell his different bones and risk a decline in cultivation, he didn't have the idea of this fragment, and the reason why he brought it up today is nothing more than to accept a name and find a good way out and a high starting point for the family, and now it seems that this necessity is not very strong.

"There is another thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
