Chapter 1616: Before the Storm
Fast forward and more than a year has passed.
During this period, Yi Yang and others went deep into Pengyuan Immortal Mountain to directly meet with Panchang, the elder of the Pan Clan, and other members of the mission led their own troops to inspect many important places in the Pengyuan Star Domain, but they have not gained anything.
However, a few people in the mission were inexplicably missing, but before they disappeared, someone had seen them at other times and places.
Although the Pan family expressed great apologies afterwards, dealt with the relevant person who presided over the guard, and quickly gave an explanation, saying that he had a dispute with Sanxiu and was harmed by Sanxiu, but no one believed this excuse at all.
Among the missions, there were many indignant people who demanded that the Pan family be severely punished, but they were suppressed by the orders from above.
The investigation of the Immortal Alliance's mission seemed to be at an impasse all of a sudden.
It's just that in this stalemate, the mission secretly investigated the Pan clan, there were more and more clues, the progress was getting deeper and deeper, the Pan clan was ready to move, and the performance was becoming more and more obvious, and even the fangshi cities everywhere felt the general serious atmosphere of the approaching war.
Yuanchen City, the place where the mission stayed.
A Star Clan monk in a green robe, slightly anxious, walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, turning his head to look at the entrance of the hall from time to time.
But at the entrance of the hall, there were only a few guards guarding there, their bodies not moving, their eyes not squinting, like statues.
He waited here for a long time before he saw a middle-aged man carrying a gourd walking in suddenly.
The green-robed monk paused, and a hint of joy appeared on his face, but then the glimmer of joy quickly sank again.
"Uncle, ...... are you?"
His nose was very smart, and it was clear that from this middle-aged man, he could smell the unique spiritual fragrance of the fairy spirit wine.
The smell that makes people feel like they are all over the place, and it is a specialty unique to this city. Dream Fairy Tour.
"Hahahaha......! Ziling! You ...... You came just in time, uncle has a pot of Dream Xianyou here, which is a good thing for the city lord here, our uncle and nephew...... Uncle and nephew...... It's been a long time since we've had a drink together, and I'm going to ...... today. Be sure to ...... Drink...... Uh, have a few drinks!" the middle-aged man shook his head, clearly even his soul was intoxicated by the wine, and said with a smile.
This kind of treasure is a true Dao treasure material, which can go straight to the soul path, and naturally has the power to intoxicate Dao realm cultivators.
But if there is enough self-control, the monks. I will not let this drunkenness fascinate me, especially in the process of going out to deacon, and I can't lose my sobriety.
The blue-robed monk showed a deep disappointment on his face: "Uncle, you are drunk again, what I asked you to do last time ......"
"Up...... Last time?, what last time?" said the middle-aged monk with drunken eyes.
The green-robed monk was a little speechless: "That's the ......"
"Right...... That's right!, Uncle thought...... I remember!" The middle-aged man clapped his hands and said excitedly.
"Remembered?" said the blue-robed monk's face.
"You...... You want that name...... The middle-aged man patted the green-robed monk on the shoulder and laughed, "It's okay......! Although the auction has already passed...... In the past, but as long as the message is still ...... It's still there. Don't rush, take your time! Yes, take your time......
The green-robed monk shook his head helplessly.
But just when he was about to retreat, he suddenly saw it. The uncle, who was obviously drunk, winked at himself secretly.
The green-robed monk was shocked.
This green-robed monk is called Chenziling, who lost his father at an early age and was raised at home with his cousins. and this middle-aged man, they are like father and son.
At that time, my uncle happened to be recuperating from an injury, and he stayed at home very solidly. accompanied him through a childhood full of warmth and fatherly love.
This experience, even if he later embarked on the path of cultivation, and even achieved the Dao realm, he did not dare to forget it.
"I still remember when I was young, my uncle repeatedly hid from my uncle and took me out to wander around, and then unfortunately encountered the enemy, the injury recurred, and I was severely trained, and the clan also sent additional guards to strictly guard it, but my uncle controlled the treasure of secret letters, and still had a way to make an appointment with me at a time and place to sneak out. ”
"But at that time, it was my uncle who invited the clan guards to do this, this is obviously the embassy station, and as an envoy, I have a noble status and come and go freely......"
Chen Ziling is not a three-year-old child, so naturally he will not think that his uncle is still talking about juvenile madness and accompanying him to play.
Well, there is only one explanation, and the reason why my uncle has been so abnormal lately is because of the bad change in the situation of the mission!
Chen Ziling reined in his thoughts, and eagerly blamed his uncle, asking him to drink less in the future, so as not to make mistakes, and told the daily matters of the relevant deacons before saying: "It's not too early today, nephew and retire first, and other things, let's talk about it when my uncle wakes up." ”
The matter has been so serious that my uncle wants to pretend to be drunk, isn't it related to that incident?
Chen Ziling thought like this, and his face couldn't help but show a little more obvious worry, but fortunately, when others saw it, they would only think that he was pure filial piety, and it was not a flaw.
Chen Ziling paid attention to his surroundings all the way, and returned to his room, which was an important place for monks to rest, and from time to time he had to retreat and dive into practice, and the inspections were frequent and strict, and the possibility of being manipulated was smaller.
But he had a guess in his heart, and he still meticulously checked up and down, and found no problem, so he separated his divine thoughts, shrouded the surroundings, and secretly urged the power of the law domain.
After a while, sure enough, a trace of divine thought in the legal domain rushed over, and quickly disappeared into the sea of knowledge.
With a bang, a figure took shape inside.
"Uncle, it's you!" Chen Ziling said in surprise.
"Ziling!" At this moment, the middle-aged man had a serious face, where was the drunken and incoherent casual appearance just now?
"Uncle, is there any change in the Pan family, you are so cautious. Chen Ziling asked.
"Yes, we have secretly ascertained that Huang Daoyou and their group last time were indeed killed by the Pan clan!"
"What, how dare they?" Chen Ziling was shocked in his heart, and he almost screamed.
"This Pan clan is really lawless!" Chen Ziling pursed his lips, his eyes spurting with anger.
"They must have a big problem!" the middle-aged man asserted, "but you don't have to be too nervous, they treat our uncle like a general for us now, and they are not allowed to do anything when they are requested, but they don't dare to tear the skin for the time being." ”
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Chen Ziling's expression calmed down slightly, but he still frowned, and said worriedly: "They have not allowed us to go to some hidden places to check, nor do they give the accounts of relevant treasure lands and large warehouses, do you want to find a way to get some out?"
When my uncle heard this, he smiled: "You can think of this, how can my uncle not be prepared?" But this operation is very important, and the Pan clan will definitely be on guard, with our strength, it is impossible to succeed so easily." ”
Chen Ziling said disappointedly: "Then, we won't do anything?"
Uncle said: "You don't have to worry, Elder Yi is far-sighted, and has already secretly arranged a backhand outside the mission, our task is only to attract attention on the surface, and there are other people who really investigate and steal the accounts!"
When Chen Ziling heard this, he was shocked again: "What? Elder Yi ...... him"
Uncle's face sank, and said: "This is actually just a precautionary arrangement, I didn't expect it, it really came in handy, if they succeeded, the situation may change a little subtly, you don't leave the station in the near future, just let me stay here well, once there is a storm, we will find a way to get out of trouble and transfer!"
This sentence is obviously the key content that his uncle wants to explain to him.
When Chen Ziling heard this, he was silent for a while and asked, "That's ...... What about the others?"
Uncle sneered: "This is the time to show your magical powers, Ziling, you can't manage so much, and you don't have to care so much!"
The middle-aged man was right, this mission, it's good that there are no accidents, but once there is an accident, it is a big deal.
If the Pan clan really dares to deal with the people in the mission, it will not be solved by the rules of the system, with his identity and position, of course, he will escape first.
Chen Ziling was silent for a long time, and finally reluctantly agreed.
......
Time is in torment, and another half a year has passed.
Both the members of the mission and the Pan clan themselves seemed to have sensed something, and the atmosphere of getting along with each other suddenly became subtle.
The mission's visitors were attacked repeatedly, at first they were disturbed, but most of them were not physically harmed, but then they began to be injured, and later, even the dead.
The stewards of the mission and the like angrily informed the local city lord or the elder of the steward and demanded an explanation, but often to no avail.
Fortunately, the people of the Pan clan are still guarding the last trace of the bottom line, as long as they stay in the city of Fang City, they will not dare to do it in the open place, on the contrary, they still maintain full respect, and they will not lose the treatment of the envoys in the alliance at all.
Some people want to cultivate, okay, what immortal blessed land, rare treasures, are all open to supply.
Someone wants to have a good time, okay, what fairy spirit girl, precious wine and delicacies, I will get you it.
However, once they go out of the city, they will inevitably encounter intimidation, harassment, and even attacks, and their lives will be in danger.
Inside and outside the city, it is completely the difference between heaven and earth.
The members of the mission reported the matter to the alliance, but the alliance sent a group of envoys to reinforce it, which was also a drizzle, and it was not of great use at all.
The members of the mission had no choice but to treat it conservatively for the time being, and any investigation and evidence collection were also carried out in the dark, and the progress was very slow.
At this time, Yi Yang and the others had also been hovering in Pengyuan Immortal Mountain for nearly two years, but no one dared to obstruct the investigation of him, a giant of the Immortal League, but Yi Yang had other plans in his heart, and when he investigated, he went to the ancient corpses that the Pan clan excavated and collected.
As a result, in the past two years, I searched for traces and accounts, and really found more than ten important clues related to the remnants of ancient cultivation. (To be continued......)
