Chapter 42: Revisiting the Old Place

Mi Zhen and Tang Mian flew above the clouds one after the other, and the two continued to communicate with their divine senses.

"Tang Daoyou, but you have carefully read the tasks in the jade slip?"

Mizhen's expression was a little solemn when he transmitted the voice.

"Naturally, I looked carefully, but it was just secretly investigating the defense situation of the Ice and Fire Sect in Cangmang Mountain, but it was not very difficult. ”

Tang Mian smiled indifferently and said with some disapproval.

"Daoist friends have been practicing penance in the cave mansion all day, I'm afraid I don't know the recent big moves in the mansion, right? As soon as the two of us leave, there will only be two people left in Lingyuan City, the red makeup fairy and Archdeacon Jiang Feng, and the rest of the deacons also have their own tasks, and the big battle is probably just around the corner. ”

Mi Zhen's words made Tang Mian think for a while, and after a moment he smiled:

"The previous incident of the two Jin Dan of the Ice and Fire Sect intercepting and killing Sect Master Ning shows that there is no possibility that this matter will be good. Fighting must be fought, but I don't know where the final battlefield is. ”

"Where else can it be? The big array of the Ice and Fire Sect Mountain Gate is the Yuan Infant Stage, and it will take a lot of effort to enter it, I'm afraid it's either in Huangshi Ridge or in Cangmang Mountain. ”

Two days later, Tang Mian and Mizhen landed on the outskirts of Yancheng, Yongchang County. The two of them paid some secular money to the guards and walked into the rock city.

Tang Mian, who had lived in Rock City for a while, took Mizhen to Yuelai Building, where he had lived before, with a light car.

"Daoist friends seem to be quite familiar with this place?"

"It's really a revisit. ”

Tang Mian replied lightly, and Mi Zhen looked at him as if he didn't want to say more and closed his mouth.

The two stayed in rooms 1 and 2 of Tianzi in Yuelai Building, and asked the shopkeeper to send a table of good wine and food, and also called a famous courtesan in the city to sing and sit with them, spending money like dirt.

The life of such a rich man lasted for several days, and the entire Yuelai Building offered these two high-rollers like emperors.

Although the days of drinking and drinking were comfortable, it was finally broken by a knock on the door.

One afternoon ten days after the two of them arrived in Rock City, they finally waited for the people of the Four Spirit Sect.

The people who came were two monks in the early stage of the foundation building period, a man and a woman, who carried a detailed map of Cangmang Mountain, as well as the rules of entry and exit of mortal deacons and materials in the mining area.

After some introduction, the two sides knew each other, this man and woman were both disciples of the Four Spirits Sect, the male was named Zhao Quan, the female monk was named Huang Xue, and the two were brothers and sisters.

"This Huang Xue is the niece of Master Huang Qi, a monk in the late stage of the foundation building of the Four Spirits Sect, and she is also quite proficient in formation. ”

Mi Zhen secretly said to Tang Mian.

"I see that this Tang Daoyou's breath seems to be still in the Qi refining period?"

Huang Xue was quite attractive, standing in front of Senior Brother Zhao and frowning and asked.

Seeing this, Mi Zhen hurriedly explained for Tang Mian:

"The fairy doesn't know, although Tang Daoyou's cultivation is not high, his strength is not weaker than that of the early monks, and he is also one of the deacons in the foundation building period in the city lord's mansion. ”

Tang Mian was not annoyed when he stood aside, but just arched his hand to the senior brother and sister with a smile, not caring about the other party's suspicious gaze at all.

The four of them sat down around the Eight Immortals table, Huang Xue casually placed a soundproofing ban in the room, and Zhao Quan spread out the map on the table.

"This is the information that my sister and I have collected in the past few days, two Taoist friends, please take a look. ”

Mi Zhen and Tang Mian nodded, swept the table with their divine senses, and it didn't take long to memorize the information on the map.

These pieces of information are part of the mission, and they will be handed over to the government at that time, and Tang Mian and Mi Zhen dare not slack off.

"This is the situation around Cangmang Mountain, and the two fellow Daoists also know that our mission is to investigate and monitor the number of foundation building stage monks in the mining area, and the most important thing is to find out if the foundation building stage of the Ice and Fire Sect is not here. ”

Zhao Quan glanced at the expressions of the three people around him, paused, and said:

"At present, Cangmang Mountain has also entered a wartime state, and it is heavily guarded, it is impossible for those mine slaves and mortal deacons to know the news of the foundation building period monks, if they want to get information, they still have to attack the qi refining stage monks, and they can't startle the snakes. If someone finds out, even if we get information, it won't do anything. ”

Tang Mian bowed slightly, he naturally understood what Zhao Quan meant. The Jindan period of the two sides had already reached a tie before, and the winner and loser were naturally in the combat power of the foundation building period.

Among the monks in the foundation building period, the strength of the three small realms of the primary, middle, and late realms was extremely different. Master Huang Qi of the Four Spirit Sect and Jiang Feng of Lingyuan City were both late-stage foundation-building monks, and their status in their respective forces was much higher than that of ordinary foundation-building stage monks.

Although the Ice and Fire Sect has a disadvantage in the number of people in the foundation building period, it occupies the advantage of the large array, and the number of people in the late stage of foundation building in the sect is not clear, even if there is a false Dan stage monk who is at the peak of the late stage of foundation building, it is not necessarily.

In this case, the relevant information is extremely important, and the slightest mistake can affect the overall situation.

Ya Zhen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said:

"Since you can't startle the snake, how can you start?

At this time, Huang Xue, who was sitting next to her, said:

"These days, the disciples of the Ice and Fire Sect who have entered and exited Cangmang Mountain are all traveling in groups, so it is not realistic to attack directly, I am afraid that I still need to enter the mining area to find a lone Qi Refining Stage monk to search for souls. ”

"Soul search?"

Tang Mian asked.

Zhao Quan nodded at Tang Mian and said:

"The strength of the junior sister's divine consciousness is not much better than that of a mid-stage foundation building monk, and it is not difficult to search the soul and modify the memory of a mere Qi refining stage monk. ”

The four of them discussed in the house for a long time, and finally decided on a plan, that is, Tang Mian and Huang Xue entered the mining area, and Mi Zhen and Zhao Quan responded outside.

How to implement it still needs to be investigated, and in the middle of the night, the four of them disappeared into the night and marched towards the reckless mountain range that crawled like wild beasts.

There were still twenty miles away, and the four of them used the breathing technique to prevent the secret sentinel of the Ice and Fire Sect from being in the forest.

After hiking in the mountains for more than an hour, the four of them finally arrived at the foot of Cangmang Mountain, a place that Tang Mian was all too familiar with.

"I didn't expect that one day I would take the initiative to go in. ”

Looking at the high walls in the mining area, Tang Mian sighed.

The four of them hid in the dark night, looking intently at the Cangmang Mountain mining area, and their divine consciousness was tightly locked in the sea of knowledge, not daring to reveal the slightest.
