Chapter 199: It's hard to stand alone
The snow fell, and the atmosphere in the hall fell into a stagnation again.
As if he had made a decision, Tao Zi quickly gloomy and said slowly: "That's it, this matter has happened, and there is no room for turning back." She turned her head and asked Deacon Du: "Can you deal with these people?"
Deacon Du replied: "There are no clues, according to the steward, they had prepared the cloud stone to be handed over half a month ago, just waiting for someone to pick it up, but he didn't expect him to check it when he had nothing to do, but he found that the sixty boxes of cloud stone that were originally full of clouds were all gone. The steward was sweating in a hurry, and he didn't dare to mine again. On the day I went, I happened to meet him in a state of panic. β
Another deacon surnamed Zhao then added: "The secret room formation where the Yunyu Stone is stored is intact, and there is no trace of it being broken, and in addition, there is no trace of the double door lock being picked open. β
This shows that it is very likely that the thief did it. If it is a powerful outside, whether it breaks the ban or breaks the door lock, it will always leave traces. Tao Zi said: "Give me a list of the people involved, and a list of people who have traveled to and from Yunyu Peak in the past six months, along with their names and times, have also drawn up a list." β
It is not easy to mine, and now it is necessary to re-mine it to make up the amount needed this year, and I don't know if it will be too late. Originally, Tao Zi was only going to come to the Deacon Hall for half a year, after all, she basically knew about Tianyu Peak, and for herself, she still took cultivation as the first priority.
didn't expect such a thing to happen at this juncture.
The candle was bright, and Tao Ziwo was in his attic, carefully checking the list that Deacon Du had just sent. Most of the people stationed in the mine have taken over the mission of the sect, and the shortest is five years, and there are no new recruits this year, among them, there is a name that is particularly familiar.
is Chen Suxi, who has had a lot of dealings with him.
Back then, she and Chen Suxi went to Tianshu Palace to participate in the double cultivation ceremony, and later Senior Sister Wei got married, and she and Chen Suxi received guests on behalf of Tianyu Peak. She still remembered that because of her sudden advancement, she didn't have time to say goodbye to everyone, so she only said hello to Chen Suxi, who had a lot of dealings with her and had a decent relationship, and asked her to speak with her uncle and sister, and left in a hurry.
But later, it wasn't until a long time had passed since the Senior Sister Marriage Ceremony had passed, and she went to visit the Senior Sister in person after she advanced, that she knew that Chen Suxi had not helped with the communication.
This is not difficult, and even on the day of the ceremony, she can tell her senior sister. But why didn't she tell it for a long time, was it simply because she was too busy on weekdays? This time, the theft of the precious cloud stone will have anything to do with her?
I think Chen Suxi has always been effective in Tianyu Peak, otherwise he would not represent Yifeng to participate in the knot ceremony of other sects. But why did she finally go to Yunyu Peak, where the aura was thin, to garrison? The inner disciple of the dignified faΓ§ade of the peak went to mine? If someone was either degraded, it was that she had something to ask for Yunyu Stone, at least for Yunyu Peak.
There are also several people who come and go to Yunyu Peak, among them is a monk surnamed Xiao, whose full name is Xiao Bichan.
Xiao Biying, Xiao Bichan, what is the relationship between them? Sisters? Although after Xiao Bihou, the Xiao family's monks in the sect tried their best to deny that the Xiao family had a monk named Xiao Biying, and the final result seemed to be gone, but Tao Zi didn't dare to forget her easily.
Xiao Biying's flying appearance and humble tone appeared in front of her eyes, just like Xiao Biying's own contradictions, Tao Zi also fell into deep entanglements and contradictions.
After thinking for a long time, the candle flame was clearly extinguished and I don't know how many times, Tao Zi finally sent out a messenger.
On the second day, the snow continued to fall. Tao Zi welcomed Feng Youcai into the half-idle thatched hut.
Feng Youcai drank a cup of hot tea and said respectfully: "I don't know what the master called me to do." β
Tao Zi smiled, noncommittal to his address, and refilled a cup of tea for him without hesitation, before slowly saying, "Can't I call you if I have nothing to do?"
Feng Youcai didn't even dare to say it, so Tao Zi continued: "Recently, there are new interesting stories from your old club?"
"The master is like a god, and under the instigation of the Pang Fairy, the drunken Liunian has completely changed his flag, and it has become a guise for Pang Ji Immortal Brewing inside and out. Feng Youcai said without waves.
On that day, because he was grateful for the kindness of the old owner, he wanted to try his best to prevent him from entanglement with the Pang fairy, he always felt that the Pang fairy had some wrong ways, but the old owner almost went crazy, not only drove himself out of the winery, but also ordered someone to beat himself to a serious injury.
The servant of the Pang Fairy was quite ruthless, even if he had the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Foundation, he was almost half killed, but even so, the Pang Fairy did not want to leave his life.
The next day, he found that the wound that had only needed to heal for a period of time had slowly begun to fester, and his body function was not as good as before, and he thought that he might have been poisoned. I took out the storage bag, and I was as destitute as the stall in the Fang Market back then, and I wanted to hold on to my last breath and seek medical treatment, but I had never seen a doctor in the Fang City.
In a drowsy state, he couldn't help but faint, and when he woke up again, it was Tao Zi who fed him another pill.
Looking back now, if it weren't for Tao Zi's appearance, I am afraid that I would have died in Huangquan long ago. So after recovering from his injury, he offered to repay him, and Tao Zi pondered for a moment, saying to himself that if he wanted to serve her, he needed to conclude a master-servant contract. Almost without thinking about it, he agreed.
No matter how humble he is and greedy for money, he is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Because the old owner saved himself in Fang City, he regarded the owner as his benefactor and relied on for the rest of his life, and he wanted to pull him when the owner fell into the net of the Pang fairy and couldn't extricate himself.
Pity......
He suppressed the emotion in his heart, and carefully observed Tao Zi's complexion by drinking tea, hoping that this time, he did not follow the wrong person.
Tao Zixiang drank the tea in the cup unconsciously, and then glanced at him and continued: "These are not enough. I need some more valuable news. β
He poured tea for himself and Feng Youcai, and then said, "And the Xiao family, do you understand?"
Feng Youcai asked, "But the Xiao family in Western Liao, who also has some power in Hexu Sect?"
Tao Zi nodded: "Exactly." β
Looking at the heavy snow outside, she said slowly: "Help me do one thing......
Although she accepted Feng Youcai as a servant, this was the first time she asked him to do something. What is your own vision, you will know this time.
She has always known the truth that it is difficult to support alone, and besides, there are still many enemies around her, there was no way before, but now if she doesn't take advantage of the days when she is in charge of Tianyu Peak to find a few available people for herself, it will be too straightforward.
And among them, Feng Youcai is one of them.
watched Feng Youcai's round figure disappear into the wind and snow. Tao Zi picked up the fan and walked towards the central front hall.
