"No, I can't. Now it is no more than a few years ago, several major forces are already quite concerned about us, if there are any more scattered cultivators missing, I am afraid it will really arouse their vigilance. It's better to use my clear identity to recruit a group of loose cultivators into the mansion, and then let them disappear unknowingly. The tall black shadow shook his head and said.

"Since there is a more secure way, I naturally don't care. By the way, there is nothing wrong with the imperial court. How did I hear the rumors, it seems that some Jinling-level guests have also begun to track down our affairs. The last dark shadow nodded, and then asked solemnly.

"Jin Ling-level guest qing, this is really a bit troublesome. Once these court guests move one of them, it will be similar to provoking the entire hornet's nest. And these guys say that they are guests of the imperial court, but in fact, they belong to the current royal family. But if someone in the royal family had noticed us, I wouldn't have gotten the word about it. Now it should just be the private actions of these guest secretaries. Well, I'll get back to someone else to get a look. Until then, don't provoke these Jin Lingkeqing. The royal family is different from the five major sects thousands of miles away, if they knew what we were planning, I am afraid that they would take action at the first time, and they would not be very willing to replace us. And with the strength of the royal family of the Great Xuan Kingdom, I am afraid that he has quietly cultivated his own spirit master a long time ago, but he just doesn't dare to let them show up. The tall black shadow said.

"What, the royal family already has a spirit master, what news have you heard?" the second black shadow seemed to be taken aback when he heard this.

"I don't have any definite evidence for this, it's just speculation. The tall black shadow shook his head and said.

"Even if it's true, these royal spirits don't have anything to fear. Otherwise, as soon as they show their deeds in front of people, I am afraid that the first of the five major sects to destroy is the entire royal family. So be it. When I go back, I'll let my subordinates try to avoid these Jin Lingkeqing as much as possible. Fortunately, as long as you endure this half a year. And that's it. The last black shadow was silent for a while, but said with a sneer.

"Well, that's all there is to it. The second black shadow said with a sigh.

So for the rest of the time, the three of them gathered together and talked for a while before they got up and left the hall.

......

When Liu Ming returned to Xuanjing, it was already afternoon.

At this time, he turned into a middle-aged Taoist priest with three strands of long hair, and slowly walked on a seemingly lively street in Xuanjing.

Suddenly, his figure moved, and he turned into a seemingly ordinary alley next to him.

This alley is not very long. But on both sides there are seven or eight shops with various signs.

After Liu Ming walked a few steps, he stopped in front of a coffin shop hanging white flags and walked in unhurriedly.

"Guest, do you want to order a coffin?"

A middle-aged man with the appearance of a camel, who was painting a brand-new coffin with black paint, saw Liu Ming walk in, and immediately put the things in his hand down, walked over and asked with a light cough.

Liu Ming looked at the camel in front of him a few times, but didn't say anything. But he took out a silver glittering token from his sleeve and shook it in front of him.

The camel, who had a calm expression, saw that the token's face changed greatly, and after his body shook suddenly, he quickly closed the door of the store.

He then flashed back to Liu Ming again. He also took out a black iron plaque from his body.

Looking at the size and style, in addition to the color, it is very similar to the silver medal in Liu Ming's hand.

Liu Ming's eyebrows jumped. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the silver medal over.

The camel sees this. also solemnly threw out the black iron plate.

Liu Ming grabbed the iron plate and just glanced at it lightly. Just inject some mana into it.

Immediately, a layer of black patterns on the iron plate flashed, and several strange black runes appeared on it.

After Liu Ming saw these runes clearly, he nodded and collected his mana, and after the black iron plate was aura, it was restored to its original state.

At this time, the camel took out a small bottle, poured out an unknown liquid from it, and smeared it on the silver medal, and after carefully looking at the thing in his hand for a long time, he threw the silver medal back with great relief.

"The identity of the messenger is correct. As a spare shadow, I thought that I would never contact the people in the sect again in my life. ”

"I'm the new Inspector of Xuanjing, and you know about the disappearance of the previous Inspector of the Dao Sect. Liu Ming also returned the black iron plate to the other party, and asked with an unchanged expression.

"Why should my lord use words to tempt me again! As a secret son of the sect, my original mana has long been abolished, and I usually don't inquire into anything at all, nor do I come into contact with any spirit disciples, I just live in Xuanjing as an ordinary person. The only use is to provide a channel for people like adults to contact the sect at a critical time. Now that my lord has found me, it seems that there should be no contact channel on the surface. The camel said slowly.

"Very well, you are very responsible. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't be alive until now. Liu Ming didn't get angry when he heard this, but nodded in approval.

"Come with me, Lord Emissary. You can contact the magic circle in the sect, but it's buried deep underground. I go down every other year to check, but the last time I used it was twenty years ago. The camel said with a deep breath.

Liu Ming nodded and followed him to the back of the shop.

After passing through a small courtyard, they walked into a seemingly ordinary wing.

The room was small in size, with no furniture except for a bed, a table and two chairs.

The camel walked a few steps to the bed, and suddenly pulled a mechanism under the bed with both hands.

Immediately, there was a "rattling" sound in the wooden bed, and it slowly opened in two from the middle, revealing a black hole, and a simple stone staircase leading to the bottom.

The camel took out a fire fold from his waist, and after a flick of the wind, he lit it out of thin air, and walked down the stairs to the bottom of the coffin.

After Liu Ming's expression moved slightly, he also followed.

Not long after the two walked in, the wooden bed that had been separated came out again, and it closed on its own.

After Liu Ming and the others walked about thirty zhang down, they finally came to a huge underground stone house.

In this stone house, which is only a dozen zhang in size, there is a huge magic circle arranged on the ground, and all the white spars that have been placed have been placed in the grooves at the edges.

In the center of the magic circle, there is a circular stone platform with a height of several zhang, and the name of the surface is printed with countless spiritual patterns, and it is also a small magic circle.

"This is the Transmission Circle. Even if it is so far away, it is enough to transmit the information back to the sect in an instant, but the space spar it consumes is also very amazing, and if the conditions permit, the news is as short as possible. I'm sure the messenger has already learned how to use it, so I won't say much more. The camel said, standing outside the circle.

"Well, I did see some ways to use it when I came. Liu Ming looked at the stone platform, frowned slightly, and slowly replied.

"In that case, I'll go outside and keep watch first. When the messenger is finished, he can come up by himself. Don't worry about this circle fluctuation being detected, this stone house is made of special materials, enough to absorb all the fluctuations. The camel nodded, and then went back to the stone steps.

Liu Ming circled around the circle a few times before he pinched the trick with one hand, and several green rays of light shot out, disappearing into the circle in a flash.

In an instant, the entire magic circle buzzed loudly, and the surrounding spirit patterns shone one by one......

An hour later, Liu Ming left the coffin shop again, and calmly walked out of the alley and reappeared on the street.

The rest of the time, he just wandered around the nearby streets.

When it was getting dark, he entered a remote alley again, but when he came out of the other end, he reverted to the appearance of a young Confucian of twenty-seven or eighteen, and walked slowly in the direction of Qianfu.

Early the next morning, Liu Ming, who had rested for the night, left from the back door of the Qian Mansion again.

This time, he directly hailed a carriage on the street, and after giving an order to the coachman, he went straight to Xianxia Mountain.

Xianxia Mountain is different from other hills outside Xuanjing, Xuanjing itself has some buildings built on the mountain, and the entire Xianxia Mountain is also owned by the imperial court.

The so-called cave mansion that can be rented to the outside world is actually just the worst place on Xianxia Mountain.

That's it, the rental cost of these caves is also amazingly expensive, enough to make the average casual cultivator feel painful. So this kind of rental business is not very good, and there are really not many casual cultivators living on Xianxia Mountain.

When Liu Ming stood in a large hall on Xianxia Mountain, and named a middle-grade cave mansion to rent for a long time, a middle-aged steward who was in charge of this matter standing in front of him couldn't help but smile.

He immediately unfolded a landscape map in front of Liu Ming that marked the locations of the various caves, and asked him to choose all the available caves by himself.

Liu Ming looked at the map, casually asked some places of interest, or nodded or shook his head, and finally chose a cave house in a remote location with a small river in front of the door.

Under the leadership of the steward, he personally went to the cave mansion to check it out, and after feeling quite satisfied, he paid off the lease fee of up to thousands of spirit stones for a year on the spot, and then obtained the entry token of the cave mansion from the elated steward.

Almost all of these caves are equipped with some simple magic circles, if you don't have a token to break in, it will alarm the mountain patrol guards on the mountain, so compared to other places, this Xianxia Mountain is still a very stable place.

Liu Ming, who left Xianxia Mountain, did not return to Qianfu immediately, and continued to wander around Xuanjing for most of the day.

In the evening, when he returned to the Qian Mansion, there was already a person waiting there at the residence.

(During the Spring Festival, the update will be suspended for a few days from the 29th, and the update will resume on February 3!) (To be continued......)
