The secular realm of the Xiuzhen era can be roughly divided into two parts: the human town and the mountains.

The so-called Renyi is a human stronghold built around the spiritual veins and spiritual fields, as well as a large network of official roads connecting the points. For security reasons, the human stronghold included the spirit veins and spirit fields in the protection of the city wall.

Outside the human settlement, there are mountains and wilderness infested with monsters and thieves. Mortals can't move an inch, and only the warriors of the army, gangs, dart bureaus, and other hundred and ten people have the ability to go deep - of course, there are also our cultivators.

In a metropolis like Lingyamen, there are naturally pills to sell, since Nangong Panshi does not dare to enter Lingyamen, he can only go to the county - only Renyi has a pill storehouse; he can't go to the mountains and wilderness to taste the herbs as a savage, so it will take several years to recover, and he will have to fight with the demon beasts in the forest.

In the early morning of June 10, the fourth day of our search in Xiaxian County, two young girls and I investigated Mandala County again.

I stood on the high hill and overlooked the endless sea of mandala flowers—a sea of flowers in full swing, and the spirit planters began to pick like bees early in the morning.

A patrol party of hundreds patrolled the perimeter of Lingtian - the soldiers were the most disadvantaged in the realm of external martial arts, their backpacks equipped with two firearms, and each holding a pure steel spear with a thick bowl in his hand. The leader of the mountain patrol team in the realm of internal strength rode on the six-tusked white elephant, sometimes chatting with Lingzhifu, and sometimes communicating with the mount in elephant language.

I am both curious and envious - in the future, when I walk through the Five Poison Miasma Forest, I will also buy a few six-tusked white elephants to ride.

"Mandala flowers are essential materials for making aphrodisiacs, sweat medicines, pain relievers, hallucinogenic drugs, and even some spiritual elixirs. The spiritual field of this county is especially suitable for the cultivation of mandalas, and the people here live by planting mandalas, and they can harvest three crops a year...... Some of the mandala flowers from our Nanhai Province are exported to the sect, and some of them are processed into pills in the workshop of Lingyamen, and circulated to the imperial capital, Jinling, and Guangling......"

This is the 50th county that our group searched, and it was the county magistrate of the county who told me about the situation (in fact, he was also the retainer in charge of this area of the Shangguan family, a foundation builder in his sixties).

He originally reported to Yan Ruolin, but when he saw that she didn't react, he turned to me and talked endlessly about the customs of the county.

"Well, please contact all the stewards and elders in the village community now, and I will inquire about them one by one here. ”

I interrupted the prefectural order.

"When we came on June 8, the household register we had was consistent with the number of people he had recounted. ”

Yan Ruolin asked me impatiently,

"Are you sure it's not a waste of time to come here again?—— there are still fifty-two counties that we haven't investigated. ”

"Please do what I order, the lord of Shangguan Shaocheng has granted me great power, I am here, as she is here. ”

I showed the token given to me by the lower official to the Mandala County Commander.

"Ordered. ”

Until the county order disappeared from my field of vision, I turned my head to Yan Ruolin and said,

"There are so many counties in Nanhai Province, but in fact, the number of medicinal herb Lingtian and pill transit warehouses is only fifty. We assume that Nangong's goal is to obtain a sufficient and abundant amount of pills to recover, and these fifty counties are the most likely places for Nangong to haunt. However, a few days ago, we investigated all the suspicious counties and counties, and all of them were calm, and there was no trace of the intrusion of Jindan, and the county and county household registrations were also consistent with the information we had at hand -- don't you think it is strange? There is little hope of going to other places. On the other hand, if Nangong is indeed in the counties we checked, what went wrong with our previous investigation?"

The girl in red frowned and thought for a while, and said:

"First, the county we investigated last time, only Taishou and the county order and we completed the reconciliation on the books, and we did not personally visit from house to house; second, if Nangong is not open, it is secretly entering the county - the city walls, towers, and gates of the county also have various runes, and he cannot escape, fly in, or become invisible. The means of entry that Jin Dan can use, I can think of a disguise or transfiguration - then, then Nangong is pretending to be someone who already has someone in the county, taking the road guide, and then swaggering into the city wall. Ahh ”

I clapped my hands,

"Your mind is still very bright, as long as you are willing to think deeply, you can find the clue of the matter - the location of this county is safe enough, the herbs are abundant, and there is a warehouse of pills. Nangong Panshi is likely to be very big here. We probably missed it last time. ”

"Phew, you're used to being weak, and the strong don't bother to think about the location of the prey they're hiding in at all—then, I've scanned this county piece by piece with my divine thoughts, and it's about a day to complete, and I won't let go of a single needle. ”

"No, it's not enough. ”

I'm busy stopping the girl in red,

"On the one hand, Nangong will use the absolute concealment breath, he, the upper level of Jindan, must be better than me, on the other hand, you will alarm him like this. We still came here one by one. ”

"Nangong also has a way to enter the city. ”

The girl in white suddenly spoke, and we looked at her,

"I know Nangong Shizi's supernatural powers - he doesn't know illusions, and he doesn't disdain to use disguise, he can use silk control zhì people. Have you ever heard of the Seven Loves?"

- In my martial arts experience as the deputy commander of the Qinglong Soldiers, I witnessed Nangong manipulating demon beasts to commit suicide like a puppet;

The two raced through my mind.

He glued the qi filament to the target, and then injected the thoughts of the mind control into the target along the line, and the target could act according to Nangong's intentions. Really?"

It dawned on me that Nangong Panshi had used the simple Mind Enhancement Technique so superbly! My newly learned Heavenly Demon Bliss Needle was far from being comparable to him.

"In other words, the guards at the city gate may have been controlled by Nangong. So they say that no one has entered, and it may not be credible!"

Yan Ruolin pulled out the golden black sword,

"The prefectural order that we just talked to can't be fully trusted!"

Huo Xingshen continued,

"Nangong Shizi's silk can only work if it is glued to the target, and the other end of the silk must be tied to his fingertips - the farther away it is, the weaker the control of the silk will be. Your Jin Dan's eyes probably also saw that there was no slender silk on the county order and those soldiers - this shows that at least when they were talking to you, Nangong was not by their side. ”

I got excited,

However, it doesn't mean that they haven't been controlled by Nangong. Nangong can easily erase their relevant memories after the matter is over—after the mortal soul is affected by the mind control technique, the physical body must have a serious illness; after the foundation builder is affected, although the body is fine, there will always be a sense of foreign body entering for a period of time afterwards - no means can hide it seamlessly. ”

Under the high-level post, the county commander led more than ten elders to our side, and one of the elders coughed while walking - this person is an upper-level cultivator of internal strength, and the other is in his sixties.

"Elder, when did you get sick?"

I yelled at him from the high post,

"A few days ago, I occasionally felt unwell, and the doctor said that it was a recurrence of Chen's internal injury when he fought with the demon beast in the past. ”

"What part of the county are you responsible for?"

"Pill storehouse. ”

He replied at the foot of the hill.

- Is the memory tampered with?

I got up,

"The clue is coming out!

Then I looked back at the girl in white,

"Well, there is one more thing I want to confirm before I see Nangong Panshi - dumb beauty, you said that Gongsun Wenlong will kill me if he finds the rock first, so what will you do if we find the rock first?"

"In this world, Nangong Panshi can only be killed by my own hands. ”

"Someone is holding you back?"

"Then I'll kill him. ”

She replied without changing her face.

- And so it was. But I'm not going to let you kill him.

I blinked and drew my sword.

The finger I held the silver snake sword healed as before, and Shi Ziming's black jade seven insect plaster was indeed extraordinary.

"Princess Lin, before the end of my Nine Tribulations, if I encounter a great murderer, you will help me three times with the determination to die, right?"

"Well, once you finish it, a mental blade here will be eliminated. You're going to use it the first time now? ”

Yan Ruolin knocked on her head and surrounded Huo Xingshen with me.

I noticed that the girl in white frowned.

"Do it for me. I sighed.

Yan Ruolin's sword stabbed at the back of the white-clothed girl's heart at a gallop.

Huo Xingshen rose sharply into the air, a water sleeve rolled up towards me, and the water snake deftly bypassed the silver snake sword shrouded in my sword and wrapped around my arm, and the other water sleeve wrapped around his back, protecting himself like a barrier.

My hand twisted and swirled with her water sleeve, and the muscles and bones of my arm twisted into twists. The body was also pulled into the air by her.

The water sleeve climbed along my arm and up to the back of my neck, and I felt a cold feeling in my neck, and I knew that when the sleeve turned to the front of my neck, I was put on a noose that could be tightened at any time.

"Wow!"

My wrist spun for half a week, and the silver snake sword infused with true qi also got on her water sleeve that had been infused with qi as hard as steel like a coil.

"Whew-"

One of her water sleeves was sliced open by my sword, and I flew down the hill, and I sent hundreds of lightning snakes into the air.

I saw Yan Ruolin stunned in mid-air

- That's just a doppelganger.

A smile tugged at the corner of my mouth.

"The Sun Is Really Hot!!!!"

In the bright sun above Huo Xingshen, a red-clothed girl with the protection of Golden Lotus Qingyun faintly appeared, she held the dazzling golden sword high and slashed straight down. The sword turned into light, giving birth to a small ball of the sun, and my lightning snake guard wrapped the white-clothed girl in the center.

——After one more breath, Huo Xingshen will be seriously injured if he does not die, and we will have no constraints anymore, and we can meet Nangong Panshi with confidence.

The girl in white suddenly took out a fan made of large plantain leaves from the ring.

At the same time, I saw Yan Ruolin's eyes widen sharply.

"Banana fan. ”

The girl in white slapped the fan twice, and the roaring and screaming sounds of thousands of fierce beasts were released from the wind created by the fan out of thin air!

Flying sand and rocks raged, and the surroundings instantly became dark!

The dust settled, the sun fireball was nowhere to be found, and my snake guard was nowhere to be found.

Most of the forests on the high hill were destroyed, and the ancient trees surrounded by four or five people were uprooted, and the other half did not know where they went with the wind of the banana fan.

Huo Xingshen's face turned pale, she stood on the ground, her bare feet finally stained with the mud of the earth.

The people under the high-level post were crawling on the ground, and I shouted many times before they got bold.

"You, Yuan Jiankong, just find the rock. The next thing is me and him, and if I stop it, I will kill you. ”

The girl in white frowned at her mud-stained toes,

"Next time, I'll slap your people directly - if your golden body hasn't fallen apart yet, you can probably land thousands of miles away. ”

"Is this fan also the magic weapon of the primordial infant?"

Yan Ruolin walked back to me, stood in a straight line with me, and looked vigilantly at the banana fan in her hand.

Huo Xingshen did not answer.

I asked Yan Ruolin,

"Is your first telekinesis gone?"

"Well, there are two more reading blades. If you want me to kill her again, I don't mind, it's just a little tricky to kill her. Imagine that you are in front of you as a sister holding a circle of fame and fortune. I'm afraid that I won't be able to fulfill my uncle's request even if I take my life. ”

The girl in red said regretfully.

"It's okay, just force her to play her hole cards, and Princess Lin can watch from the sidelines. Flowing cloud flying sleeves, immobilization, and now this banana fan. I know full well that this is your pride in the game. ”

I walked up to Yan Ruolin and blocked the direction of Huo Xingshen's banana fan with my hand, and my Heavenly Thunder Law General Outline operated-

"Ao Xuan, with me, you can't kill Nangong Panshi. You can try to fan me again with a banana fan, I'm not afraid of this magic weapon of the primordial baby. ”
