181 Interception in the city
At the banquet in the pavilion of the county lord's mansion, the Qi refining period monks were extremely jealous of the Earth Flame Mountain, and they were unwilling to accept the task sent by the county lord to the Earth Flame Mountain to investigate, so they hurriedly found an excuse to leave, so as not to get into trouble.
Ye Chen, Immortal Master Kong, and Venerable Wu also left the County Lord's Mansion with all the monks.
It's not that Ye Chen is unwilling to take on this task, it's just that there is no point in receiving this task - the county lord can give some worldly silver coins and jewels at most, and it is impossible to give him the spirit stones and spiritual things he needs. He doesn't look down on these worldly money, so naturally there is no need to take it.
If he wanted to find out the situation of Flame Mountain, he just went to investigate.
Before you can do that, though, you must know the location of the Earthflame Mountain. There is no mark on it in the "Yunzhou Catalogue", and this Flame Mountain is disguised and hidden by the monks, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find out where it is.
"Brother Kong, Brother Wu, you two are monks of Xingzhou County, you should know where Earth Flame Mountain is!"
Ye Chen smiled lightly at the two.
"Brother Ye Dao, Poor Dao has been doing legal affairs in Xingzhou City, and I really don't know that there is still Diyan Mountain in the territory!"
Immortal Master Kong's face turned pale, and he hurriedly waved his hand to deny it.
"Brother Ye Dao asked this, do you want to go to Earth Flame Mountain?"
Venerable Wu's fat face trembled, and he said in surprise.
"Why don't you go? Didn't Brother He say that when the Earth Flame Mountain erupted, many underground fire treasures would be born with it? I have traveled all over the world, and such good deeds are rare! Finding a fire-type spirit treasure is enough to spend many years. It's just that I'm a foreigner and I'm not familiar with the situation in this place, so why don't the two Dao brothers go together?"
Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Brother Ye Dao wants to go by himself, don't look for me. There are a lot of fierce monks in this Earth Flame Mountain, and the poor Dao is only at the first level of the Qi refining period, no matter how good the spirit treasure is, it has to have a life to enjoy it, how dare I offend them!"
Where does Immortal Master Kong dare to go, it's too late to clear up.
Venerable Wu was much bolder, but he was a little shaken. He didn't dare to pay attention to the Earth Flame Mountain, it was because his strength in the immortal cultivation world was too weak, and he was only at the first level of the Qi refining stage, and he met a few monks who were stronger than him. Ye Chen's refining weapon is above the middle stage, and his strength is much stronger than them, if he goes to Earth Flame Mountain with Ye Chen, he may be lucky enough to pick up one or two fire spirit treasures.
He only has one spiritual shovel spirit weapon of Tianluo Temple, if he gets the fire spirit treasure, his strength will immediately skyrocket a lot, and Tianluo Temple can also have one more treasure of the temple. It's a little risky, but it's totally worth it.
Ye Chen was about to ask, when he suddenly saw the Confucian monk who had publicly spoken about Earth Flame Mountain during the banquet, and hurriedly left the county lord's mansion and went to the south of the city.
Soon, a man in black and a burly man, with gloomy expressions, followed and galloped towards the south of the city.
Several figures disappeared into the alleys of Xingcheng.
"Are they trying to do it?"
Ye Chen's heart moved, and he didn't ask Kong and Wu any more questions, and then followed to see the situation. The Confucian monk had been to Earth Flame Mountain and should know the place.
Immortal Master Kong and Venerable Wu were all shocked when they saw several monks hurrying to the south of the city, and Ye Chen also followed.
"That man in black should be a monk of Earth Flame Mountain, undercover in the county lord's mansion, Brother He stabbed out the matter of Earth Flame Mountain, it seems that he is about to fight! Brother Ye Dao followed forward, most likely to stop it sideways!"
Venerable Wu speculated quickly, and suddenly grinned, "Immortal Master Kong is interested in going and having a look?"
"They're all mid-stage Qi refining cultivators!!"
Immortal Master Kong was so frightened that his legs weakened.
"Brother Ye Dao seems to be determined to go to Earth Flame Mountain. The deity went to see the result of their fight, if Brother Ye Dao's strength is good, I will follow him to the Earth Flame Mountain. Maybe you can pick up a bargain!"
Venerable Wu muttered to himself, shaking his head as he strode towards the south of the city.
"How can Earth Flame Mountain pick up the spirit treasure so easily!"
Immortal Master Kong was originally afraid and didn't want to go, but when he saw that Venerable Wu planned to follow, he hesitated. Venerable Wu's reputation in Xingzhou County is much worse than him, but if he gets a few spiritual treasures, he is afraid that he can overshadow the majesty of Chaotianguan.
"That's it, this Immortal Master will go and see Brother Ye Dao's strength and means! If the strength is strong, let's go together. ”
Immortal Master Kong gritted his teeth, relentlessly, and followed behind Venerable Wu. Go to the dangerous spiritual land of Earth Flame Mountain, one more monk will be safer. Since Ye and Wu both went, it was not impossible for him to follow along to take a look. If there is danger, there are also strong monks in front of them
In the south of Xingcheng City, there are chaotic civilian lanes.
The Monk of the Confucian shirt ran through the narrow alleyway, looking behind him from time to time, his face anxious. He had spotted several monks tracking him, trying to get them out of the messy alleyways.
The dozens of monks invited by the county lord's mansion were mixed and their origins were unknown. It was not surprising that there were monks from the forces of the Earth Flame Mountain mixed in. Most of the time at the banquet, in front of the county lord, all the officials, and all the monks, he openly stabbed out the matter of the Earth Flame Mountain, which angered the monks of the Earth Flame Mountain.
He even regretted it a little, he couldn't control his mouth, and he was straight and quick to talk for a while. It's just that he is by nature like this, and he can't see those dirty things, even if he does it again, I'm afraid he will still say it.
Bang!
Bang!
Two monks, each with a blade, blocked the two ends of the alleyway, blocking the way of the Confucian monks.
The Confucian monk was startled, stopped, and opened a spiritual fan in his hand, glowing with light.
"Brother He, where are you in such a hurry!"
The black-clothed man carried a spirit knife, slowly approached, and sneered.
"What do you want to do!"
The Confucian monk quickly looked at the black-clothed man and the burly man behind him, and said sharply. These two cultivators were both at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Period, and their strength was not weaker than him in the slightest. Two-on-one is very tricky, and he may not be able to cope with it.
"Brother He, who asked you to mention the matter of Earth Flame Mountain in public! Don't you know that disaster comes from your mouth?! Either shut your mouth or disappear from Xingzhou County!"
The man in black said coldly.
"You are indeed the monks of the Earth Flame Mountain!"
"Why don't you let me say it! In order to get the Fire Spirit Treasure from the Earth Flame Mountain, you let the Earth Flame Mountain erupt, ignoring the millions of Li people in Xingzhou County. There was no harvest for thousands of miles in Xingzhou County, millions of soldiers and civilians were drought, hungry people were everywhere, and wars broke out everywhere, and millions of people were killed and injured because of this drought. I just can't see it, just say a few fair words, and you want to stop my mouth! I He Feng has read the books of sages for a few years, and I also know right and wrong, how can I be afraid of death!"
The Confucian monk shouted.
He is a native of Xingzhou County, and he was originally a private school talent, but he accidentally embarked on the road of cultivating immortals. The drought, which lasted for two years, caused his hometown to be almost empty, and he hated the drought very much.
"In Yunzhou, spiritual land is extremely scarce, and when a new spiritual land appears, it is natural to keep your mouth shut. If the news of this Flame Mountain spreads and attracts a large number of monks from all over the world, and even attracts people from the Immortal Sect, where will we still have the share of the monks! This is your own fault! Since you insist on going against us, then don't blame me for being polite!"
The big man in black was annoyed and wanted to beckon the burly man to do it.
Suddenly, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if he was being targeted.
He hurriedly looked around.
This look surprised the man in black.
I saw a young Taoist priest, standing silently in a corner of the alleyway, without any intention of dodging. He didn't even notice whether this young Taoist priest was already standing here or had just appeared.
This young Taoist priest was none other than Ye Chen, who had followed him all the way.
"It's you!"
The eyes of the black-clothed man suddenly sank, this young Taoist priest was the guest monk of the county government just now, it was this person who opened his mouth to ask about the source of the drought, and the Confucian monk stabbed out the matter of Earth Flame Mountain in public.
However, this young Taoist priest is a monk who travels from other places, and he will not stay in Xingzhou County for a long time, and he did not trouble Ye Chen. The Confucian monk is a monk from this county, and he wants to clean up this Confucian monk first.
"Brother Ye Dao!"
The Confucian monk saw Ye Chen appear, but he was overjoyed. Ye Chen had a sixth-level cultivation in the Qi Refining Period, a little higher than him, if he and Ye Chen joined forces, they might be able to defeat these two Earth Flame Mountain cultivators and make them retreat.
The black-clothed man also thought of the possibility of the two joining forces, and couldn't help but scold, "Ye Daoyou, you are a Taoist priest of Youfang, don't ask about Xingzhou County, shut up, and leave Xingzhou County quickly, otherwise you will look good!"
"There aren't many spiritual lands in the Ulan Empire, and I finally passed by and encountered a new Earth Flame Mountain spiritual land, how can I not go and take a look, maybe I can find a few good fire spirit treasures. I came to this Brother He to ask something about Earth Flame Mountain! Why, is there any secret thing that can't be said here?"
Ye Chen looked at the big man in black and shook his head lightly. His understated expression was clearly about to intervene, but it made the eyes of the man in black suddenly burst into flames.
The man in black hesitated for a moment, whether to clean up the two together. However, it is easy to clean up one Confucian monk, but it may be a little difficult to clean up two.
Just when Ye Chen came to the alley, Venerable Wu and Immortal Master Kong rushed to the alley in the south of the city one after another, and saw Ye Chen, the Confucian monk, the black-clothed man, and the burly man confronting each other in the alley.
"Those two cultivators from Earth Flame Mountain are both at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Period, and Brother Ye Dao and Brother He Dao are at the sixth and fifth levels of the Qi Refining Period, and their strength is higher. ”
"However, Brother Ye Dao's cultivation above this level is of little use. The key is to look at their spell strength, I'm afraid it's half a catty!"
Immortal Master Kong and Venerable Wu hid in the distance and watched, looking in surprise. The two of them were on the first floor of the Qi refining period, and of course they didn't dare to get close to the past to participate in the fight, otherwise they would not know how to die.
The black-clothed man's eyes flashed, and he quickly thought about countermeasures.
The burly man shouted loudly, "Boy, it's not impossible for you to go to Earth Flame Mountain! But you must join our sect forces, sacrifice a hundred spirit stones, and become your own! Lao Tzu introduced you to get started." Otherwise, don't dream! Lao Tzu paid a lot of money to join!"
The black-clothed man's face changed in an instant, "Shut up!"
