When I walked to the corner of a mountain road, I heard two people talking behind the rocks in front of me.

"Two taels of silver, not a word. It was a man's voice.

"This junior brother, this spiritual cave can collect at least thirty yuan of spiritual energy today, it's not too much to ask you for a cent of Mithril, why don't you think about it again?" This was a woman's voice.

"What kind of thirty yuan aura, the ghost believes you, and you still want a cent of Mithril...... Hehe, ugly people make a lot of mistakes, and I don't buy it. There was a mixture of anger and sneer in the man's tone.

Dong Xiaoping thought that the two would quarrel when he heard this, but nothing happened, and the female voice was silent.

Then he saw a young man come out from behind the rocks, with a gloomy face, and pass them.

Dong Xiaoping and Huang Xiaozi walked around the corner and saw the woman, they all knew each other, it was the ugly girl Ma Ruyu.

"Senior Brother Huang, Senior Brother Dong, you are early. When Ma Ruyu saw the two, she greeted them with a smile as soon as possible, as if the unpleasantness just now had not happened.

"Haha, who am I talking about, I actually dare to say that I found at least thirty yuan of spiritual acupoint, but I didn't expect it to be Senior Sister Ma, I admire you the most about finding spiritual acupoint

"What's the matter, I'm really lucky to find such a good one today, and it's good to find twenty yuan usually. She changed her words and asked, "Alas, now that the sun is getting high, haven't you found it yet?" Senior Brother Dong, if you don't cultivate in this spiritual cave, the first time you come, I should give you a greeting gift." ”

"Senior Sister Ma has a heart, I am not in a hurry to cultivate on the first day, and I want to go shopping again. Dong Xiaoping replied with a smile.

After chatting casually with Ma Ruyu, the two said goodbye and left.

"Senior Sister Ma is really so powerful?" asked Dong Xiaoping after walking away.

"No, she made a lot of money from this, and every time she came, she could sell one or two spirit points first. ”

"Then you don't learn from her?"

"I'm more accurate, but not as fast as her, if I buy a spirit acupoint, I won't have time to find a second one. Speaking of which, Huang Xiaozi seems to have some regrets, regretting that he can't make money like Ma Ruyu.

The two of them circled the mountain, but instead of turning back to where they were, they went higher, and when they stood on the edge and looked down, they could see the way they had come.

Dong Xiaoping looked around as he walked, and when he looked down one time, he saw two people walking on the road below them, it was the monk surnamed Yang and her assistant monk surnamed Cai.

The direction of these two people is the same as Dong Xiaoping's, completely parallel, but one is on a high place and the other is on a low place.

Seeing that it was these two people, Dong Xiaoping kept an eye on them while walking. Dong Xiaoping could see them, but they didn't notice Dong Xiaoping overhead.

Yang Cai and the others soon arrived at the inch-headed young man, who was still cultivating on the original stone slab.

The two of them walked and walked, and suddenly stopped, and after talking for a few words, the monk surnamed Cai walked up to the man and shouted, "You stand up, we have to check this place." ”

This voice was relatively loud, which alarmed the yellow dwarf, and he hurriedly came to the edge to watch the excitement.

The inch-headed young man was originally cultivating with his eyes closed, but when he heard this, he stood up with a stunned face, and said innocently, "Why do you want to check?"

The monk surnamed Cai did not answer, and bent down to turn over the stone slab. The surface covered in stone slabs was exposed, and a small circle was carved into it.

"Yo! You kid is so bold!" said the monk surnamed Cai with a smile.

The inch-headed young man immediately waved his hand again and again and said: "I don't know, I just saw that there is a lot of spiritual energy here, and I thought it was a spiritual cave, but I didn't expect someone to set up a spirit gathering array here!"

"Less nonsense, nine out of ten people who are caught say that. The monk surnamed Cai put away his smile and said coldly, "You choose for yourself now, either you go to labor, or you will obediently hand over one or two secret silver and wipe the magic circle, and our Senior Sister Yang will not see it." ”

When the inch-headed young man heard one or two Mithril, he immediately turned into a bitter gourd face, and pleaded bitterly: "I really don't know about this...... A couple of mythsylls is too much, I can't take it. ”

"If you can't take it, come with us!" said the monk surnamed Yang impatiently.

The inch-headed young man had no choice but to hand over Mithril and obediently wipe off the magic circle, and Yang Cai and the others left satisfied.

"No wonder, no wonder...... I said that the man found a position that could not be up or down, and it turned out that he secretly set up a spirit gathering array, and he was really bold enough, and he was fined one or two secret silver, which was really enough for him. The yellow dwarf sighed.

"Why isn't it allowed to set up a spirit gathering array here?"

In fact, after Dong Xiaoping learned about the concept of the spirit acupoint, he was thinking why he didn't directly arrange the spirit gathering array, why bother to find the spirit acupoint.

Huang Xiaozi smiled when he heard this: "You asked this, there is an interesting thing." This Bathing Spirit Peak's tradition for many years is like this, no spirit gathering array is allowed, as for why, the lower disciples don't know, the senior disciples don't care, and then everyone gradually forgets about it.

"I heard that ten years ago, someone made a whimsical suggestion, or we should allow everyone to arrange a spirit gathering array in the Bathing Spirit Peak, so that it would be more convenient to cultivate. Yu Lingfeng is not very important to the master, and this kind of trivial matter does not need to be reported to the elders, and a real person who is not familiar with the world agrees.

"And guess what, a few days later, the mountain peak will be full of Spirit Gathering Arrays, and everyone will have to spend a lot of money to buy the Spirit Gathering Array Banner in addition to paying a cent of Mithril gate tax, and it won't work if you don't buy it, because the spiritual energy will be sucked away by other Spirit Gathering Arrays.

"And the Spirit Gathering Array is getting better and better, because if you can't compare to others, you won't be able to absorb the spiritual energy, which will make everyone lose money, and the entire Yu Lingfeng will complain.

There were many people who reacted to the real person and asked to restore the original rules, but the real person couldn't wipe his face and refused to admit his mistakes, but he couldn't let the problem go unchecked, so he thought of a new way, and the master would unify the deployment of a hundred spirit arrays, and at the same time prohibit others from setting up the formations privately.

"There was a problem with this new method from the beginning, because the Spirit Gathering Array was limited, everyone could only come and line up in the middle of the night, and they might not be able to get it! Later, everyone could only spend the night inside, otherwise there would be no share of you at all. Hehe, not to mention that the door tax collected has become lower, and everyone is also tossed enough.

"At that time, the Bath Spirit Peak Envoy didn't even maintain the Gathering Spirit Array because of lack of money, and let it weaken. There was no one else willing to maintain the Gathering Spirit Array of the public family, and it didn't take long for all of them to decay, and there was not a single one left.

"Haha, I didn't expect that after the loss of the Spirit Gathering Array, not to mention the increase in door taxes, no one went to accuse him of dereliction of responsibility, because everyone can finally cultivate normally. Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of the hundred spirit gathering arrays, if they go to that real person again, who knows what kind of moth he will make!"

Dong Xiaoping also smiled when he heard this story, it turned out that there were times when leaders were blind in the Xianxia world.

"In addition to the Spirit Gathering Array, what other methods of cheating are there? For example, secretly put some items that can absorb spiritual energy, such as spirit stones and spiritual weapons, in hidden places everywhere. He asked.

As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fat, if you honestly find the spiritual acupoint, Dingtian will be twice as good as others.

Huang Xiaozi squinted at him, "These valuables, aren't you afraid of being stolen?"

Dong Xiaoping smiled awkwardly, this is true.

The two continued to walk forward while chatting, when they suddenly heard someone talking below.

"Ugly girl, I persuaded you for the sake of working together, it's better to give one or two silver to this Senior Brother Qian, don't toast and don't eat and drink, when the time comes, the spirit cave will be gone, and the money will be gone. This is Liu Qiang's sharp voice.

"I don't have much patience, you decide. A gruff voice rang out.

"Senior Brother Liu, this tael of silver is too little, I didn't let someone give four taels of silver just now...... Do you think you can do a little more?"

Dong Xiaoping and Huang Xiaozi glanced at each other, it turned out that they had already walked above Ma Ruyu's position before, and the two walked to the edge and looked down.

I saw that Ma Ruyu was still sitting and cultivating in the same position as before, and there were five young people standing in front of her, looking down at her. One of the five men was Liu Qiang, and the other was the tall boy who patted Liu Qiang on the shoulder at the door.

None of these people noticed Dong and Huang above their heads.

This Ma Ruyu is afraid that she is in trouble, Dong Xiaoping thought to himself.

"Senior brothers, if you want to cultivate, please go ten steps away, otherwise there will be a lot of people passing by, and you will have a hard time arguing at that time. ”

Ma Ruyu has already seen that these people are looking for trouble, but she is unwilling to back down, Qingbo Gate has its own rules of Qingbo Gate, how can it be broken casually.

The tall young man surnamed Qian laughed and said to Liu Qiang: "Since she doesn't give us face, then we don't have to be polite." ”

Liu Qiang snorted coldly at Ma Ruyu and said, "You asked for it, don't blame Senior Brother for not giving you a chance." ”

Ma Ruyu was unmoved, but she wondered in her heart, it has not been a day or two since she occupied the spiritual acupoint to sell it for money, it stands to reason that they have no way to take themselves, why are they so arrogant today.

"Senior Brother Huang, do you know this group?" Dong Xiaoping asked in a low voice.

Huang Xiaozai leaned into Dong Xiaoping's ear and said: "Their group is also doing business to sell the spirit acupoints, but they don't rely on vision, they rely on relationships, they are put in by the gatekeeper before dawn, and occupy those good spirit points that are stable all year round."

"Not only that, they will also follow others, if others find the spirit cave, they have to say that they found it at the same time, they must give them a little money to get out of the way, I have been followed many times, I really hate it!"

"Then like Senior Sister Ma, who has already found the Spirit Acupoint, will you still be afraid of them?" Dong Xiaoping asked again.

"This ...... I'm also strange, and it stands to reason that there is no need to be afraid. The yellow dwarf pinched his chin and shook his head.

The two looked down curiously, wondering how this group of people would trouble Ma Ruyu.

The young man surnamed Qian patted Liu Qiang on the shoulder and ordered, "Come, use your method." ”

Liu Qiang took out a roll of parchment from his arms, looked at it intently for a while, and then said loudly: "Senior Brother Zhang, please go to that round stone." ”

While speaking, he also pointed out the position to Senior Brother Zhang with his hand.

"Senior Brother Hua, please go to the small tree in the northeast.

"Senior Brother Chen, please go under that fruit tree.

"Senior Brother Qian, please go to the stone steps.

"I'll go around the corner over there. ”

With Liu Qiang's order, several people took action with a smile, and after a while, they arrived at their respective positions, and then ignored Ma Ruyu and sat and cultivated by themselves.

Huang Xiaozi looked surprised, leaned over and looked at the parchment in Dong Xiaoping's hand, looked at the surrounding environment for a while, and sighed: "I didn't expect this Senior Brother Liu to be a master, so he broke Senior Sister Ma's spiritual acupoint." ”

Dong Xiaoping was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect that this leper was really talented, but it was a pity that he was used in the evil ways of the outer door.

Although he didn't understand the spiritual energy veins of Yu Lingfeng, he probably knew from the direction that these five people had intercepted the spiritual energy flow that should have converged to Ma Ruyu.

"Are you sure they must have succeeded?" Dong Xiaoping asked.

"At least eighty percent, let's see how Senior Sister Ma reacts. The yellow dwarf looked slightly worried.
