According to the map given by Suo Ling's mother-in-law, the stone cave is in a wooded and mountainous area outside the southwest pass of the Central Plains.

According to the memories of Dong Junqin and Mu Baofeng, that area was a very flat plain area, and there were no mountains and forests.

The same was true when the four of them arrived at Kannai Jiangyang Mansion.

In the Jiangyang Mansion Station, the dart guest who had studied art at Dong's mother's house studied the map for a long time and said: "Look, this is Jiangyang Mansion County, and then southwest is Jiu'anli." From Jiu'anli, this area is also full of plains, no forests and no mountains. ”

"This map is relatively old, will the terrain change later?"

The dart man shook his head: "My ancestors have been born here for four generations, at least more than a hundred years. Even if I don't know, the map of our house can't be wrong. You see, there have never been any mountain areas. Unless you want to be older on this map, you can only go to Jiangyang Fuzhi. ”

Dong Junqin originally wanted to find Jiangyang Mansion Zhi, but due to his suspicion of the imperial court, he did not dare to disturb the official mansion easily, so as not to be plotted.

The dart guest also heard about the relationship between the old club and the imperial court, and when he saw him hesitating, he whispered: "Little master, if you don't want to go to the Futai Lord, you can ask Luotongguan." ”

Dong Junqin didn't know about this Taoist temple, turned his head to look at Mu Luofeng, and also shook his head: "Luotongguan?"

The dart man nodded and gave them an up-to-date map of the southwest region: "Luotongguan existed before the establishment of Jiangyang Mansion, between Jiu'anli and Jiangyang, this is the place. You are the fastest to get out of the city from Jiangyang South.

During the rebellion of the family, Luo Tongguan was suppressed by the government because of several chaotic parties. The relationship between the two families is not good, little master, you don't have to worry about them reporting to the official. Oh, but remember to walk or the carriage, and don't use spells. ”

Dong Junqin was puzzled, Jiangyang Mansion was so far away from the capital, why couldn't it?

"Recently, there have been bans at various border crossings across the country. ”

Dong Junqin didn't expect that such a small pass as the Southwest Pass would also be strictly guarded.

The dart man continued to whisper: "You don't know if you don't walk around the border. Didn't a Dongli envoy enter the Central Plains last month? The imperial court spy reported that a prince of the Dongli Kingdom had also come in with the delegation, but there was no mention of this person on the list of envoys. The boss is afraid that the East Kingdom is planning some conspiracy. ”

"Lord Wang?" The three of them secretly aimed at the calm Nanqin.

Dartman: "Yes, it's a prince. But I don't know what it's called, it doesn't seem to be a high-powered kind of prince. ”

Leaving the station, the three of them continued to stare at Nanqin. Nanqin shrugged: "Don't look at me. Although the six realms of our Dongli coexist, the relationship between the royal family and the common people is similar to yours. I don't know which little-known prince will come. ”

Mu Baofeng: "I said that Wenxu, don't you really need to contact them?"

Nanqin shook his head: "Wen Xu and I have only known each other for many years, and we don't have a close relationship, so what is there to contact." Besides, Beishu is by his side, and Beishu and I can sense each other. ”

That being said, but Nanqin had just met after all, and Mu Baofeng was somewhat uneasy.

Dong Junqin: "Okay, Ah Feng, you and Miss Nan are also grasshoppers on the same rope, and she won't be happy if you have an accident." Now the most important thing for us is to find out the whereabouts of the Shengsheng Stone as soon as possible, as well as the Ningxi she said. ”

Mu Baofeng and Nanqin glared at each other, and then walked on both sides, and the four of them walked towards Jiu'anli together.

According to the map, the four of them quickly found Luotongguan. They all made a disguise when they came out of the sky, so as not to be recognized by the officials along the road too quickly.

It's just that if those shadow killers are still following them, the four of them are not sure.

Looking at this snubbing of the court, it is indeed as the dart guest said, it is the appearance of offending the government and being suppressed. If you accidentally pull into the muddy water of Dong Mu and the others, I am afraid that the salted fish will still be salted fish if it turns over.

But that's not what Nanqin is worried about. Although I haven't met with the Taoist priests inside, I don't know how they cultivate, but Luo Tongguan is also a century-old Taoist temple with a serious Eight Classics, and she and Mu Baofeng entered with such an identity, I was afraid that if I didn't ask, I was chased and shouted and killed.

The three of them thought about each other, and finally looked at Ah Lu in unison.

Ah Lu was quite dissatisfied with this: "You two are afraid that the identity of the demon clan will be exposed, oh, then I am still a ghost, how did I become the safest one?" and you Dong Junqin, are you afraid that they will be implicated, please, that killer doesn't know me, they won't be implicated if I go in?"

Dong Junqin smiled: "First of all, you are a ghost, but you are a resurrected ghost, barely a human." Secondly, if he goes in with you, we will stay outside so that we can spy on you, and when the time comes, we will inform you of any problems. If you follow me, can you do that?"

Alyu was speechless, although it was wrong to hear it, but he just couldn't find the words to refute him. So I comforted myself: I have to ask anyway, and it's no different from one person going in and several people going in, it's just that.

Before entering the view, Allu felt that this network was pitiful, but after entering the view, he thought that they were too decadent. Forget if there is no guard at the door, a few Taoist leaders in the courtyard see her as if they didn't see her, and they are doing their own work.

Ah Lu asked a few people, and the answer he got was either that he didn't know where you were going to wait.

In the end, she had to wait in the cloister next to the main hall of Luotongguan.

Waiting was boring, and Ah Lu consciously looked around. Looking at this, I feel that the network is really up and down.

The walls of the cloister are carved with all the deeds of the Luotong Temple from its establishment to the present day.

This place in Jiu'anli is located in the border pass, although the environment is not bad, but in the early years it was a place for exile prisoners to live. There are large pastures where the exiles raise their livestock and grass.

Later, the territory slowly expanded, and it was not the only place of exile. Gradually, people settled here. However, due to historical reasons and the continuous wars at the border gates, the security of the entire Jiu'anli is not good.

The ancestor of this Taoist temple was an old man. When he was in his seventies, he traveled to Jiu'anli, and saw that the people here suffered from monsters, but there was no Jianghu Gate stationed here, and the government was busy with border defense, so he really had no energy and no ability to invite Jianghu people, so he settled here to eliminate demons. For a time, it was deeply loved by the people here.

When the ancestor passed away, the government of Jiu'anli, together with hundreds of local residents, pooled money to build this Taoist temple for him. It is named after its road name.

In the following hundreds of years, although Luo Tongguan did not produce any famous masters in the world, he still inherited the will of his ancestor to eliminate harm for the people, until the rebellion of the family.

To say that this person who carved the stone wall is also special, the great part is written down in detail, and the rebellion part is also written down in every detail.

Before the rebellion of the family, a thing called dripping stone produced in Jiu'an was favored by the Huangfu family. This drop of water stone seems to have some effect on enhancing the operation of the five elements spiritual veins. Therefore, Luotongguan regularly supplies Huangfu, and the two families have a relationship.

Later, Huangfu rebelled, and there were three Taoist chiefs in Luotongguan who followed Huangfu, because the imperial court wanted to open the gate of Jiu'anli and trade with some small foreign countries outside the southwest pass.

The small states in the area outside the southwest pass are at war with each other for many years, and a new state emerges every few decades, and it is annexed again after a few decades.

The policy of the imperial court at that time was to settle the war with commerce. But the people at the border don't think so, after a long war, the people on both sides have long been at enmity with each other, and now they say that they will cooperate, who wants to?

Those three Taoist priests originally lost their families due to the war and entered the monastic path. When such a policy came out, they were not convinced, believing that the imperial court was lazy and corrupt, and was unwilling to pay for raising troops to consolidate the border defense.

Therefore, they followed the emperor, thinking that they could change the situation.

However, when they found out that Huangfu was cultivating evil arts and mutilating innocents, it was too late to quit.

After the rebellion of the family subsided, the imperial court investigated it layer by layer, and finally found Luotongguan. All the spectators were immediately arrested and tortured. Many innocent Taoist priests did not die at the hands of monsters, but died in prison.

Of course, Luo Tongguan appealed, and the court also forgave it. However, later, the imperial court appointed some Xuanmen monks to create a new sect "Qishengmen" in Jiangyang Mansion, and let Jiangyang Mansion vigorously promote it, and Luotongguan went to a lonely place.

Ah Lu doesn't know much about the situation and policies, but there is a saying that 'the times create heroes'. Hey, but the current situation is the same as the east wind, who can say for sure?

"Girl. When Ah Luzheng shook his head helplessly, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Have you finished reading?"

Ah Lu was taken aback: "Oh my mother, why are you standing behind you and not making a sound!"

This "ghost behind the back" is dressed in coarse cloth, with a long bamboo pole in his hand and a net on his head. It seems to be a Taoist priest of Luotongguan.

Taoist priest: "Girl, you were too attentive to hear me coming." I heard from my disciple that you want to see the historical map of Jiu'anli?"

Alu was stunned and nodded reflexively.

The Taoist priest suddenly approached her face again, stared into her eyes, and asked in a gloomy voice, "What do you want to see this doing?"

Alu: "No, I'm curious. ”

The Taoist priest squinted suspiciously, looked at her for a moment, and then took her to the backyard.
