Chapter 22: The Iron and Stone Fire
The east is white, and there is no one inside and outside Xianxia Temple, Qi Dezhong also said at the beginning, since the gangsters chose to do it with themselves last night, then Qi Dezhong has nothing to say, and he went to Yingyang Mountain and Iron Stone Fort with a single sword.

If you take Changlin County as the center, Tieshi Fort is located in the southeast of the county seventy miles away, and Yingyang Mountain is nearly a hundred miles in the northeast direction, although it is far away, but the official roads from the south to the north are close to these two bandit caves, and in recent years, it has caused many disasters in the surrounding villages and counties.
According to Chen Yuanwai's prior notice, Qi Dezhong had long known the specific location of Yingyang Mountain and Tieshi Fort, and these two gangs of bandits occupied the mines and built fortifications in order to resist the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, but unfortunately the imperial court was now weak and could no longer control the Quartet.
Qi Dezhong chose to go to the Ironstone Fort first, and he also carried the Snow Dragon Ball with him, since he heard that there were cultivators in the Ironstone Fort, Qi Dezhong was naturally more cautious.
As its name suggests, the Iron Stone Fort is rich in iron and stone, located in an undulating rock mountain, where a simple fortress was built in the past by the official government of this place, and later was occupied by bandits as a lair, and the name of the Iron Stone Fort gradually spread in the area of Changlin County.
Huang Tianhua, the former lord of the Iron Stone Fort, is also a figure, and his subordinates are the four King Kongs and the eight Arhats, who are nothing more than some leading figures, with more than 100 minions under his command, often wantonly plundering nearby counties and counties, and what is even more rare is to associate with local officials, making the Iron Stone Fort like an iron tower.
After Huang Tianhua's death, there was a fierce general under his command, Hu Laoba, who refused to accept the control of Huang Zhang, the lord of Shaobao, and after a fierce fight, Hu Laoba took his men to Yingyang Mountain. Suddenly, Yingyang Mountain, which was declining due to Huang Tianhua's suppression, had a subtle change in the comparison of strength between them because of the civil strife in Tieshi Fort.
Not long ago, a Taoist priest came to the Iron Stone Castle, claiming to have the power to practice and wanted to take shelter in the Iron Stone Castle, and demonstrated the Taoist method, which made the young castle master Huang Zhang quite respected.
In Middle-earth and Kyushu, there are many people who practice Taoism, but there are not many people who have achieved otherworldly achievements and have aspirations for the distant world.
Qi Dezhong would not deliberately despise such a cultivator, after all, isn't Qi Dezhong himself now also a parasitic mana? It's just that he doesn't intend to show his mana too much, and he does what he should do, if the ordinary laws in the world are difficult to understand, he will naturally act according to his mana cultivation.
It's just that since that Taoist priest has settled in the Iron Stone Castle, why did he drive the bandits to snatch the Snow Dragon Ball? Qi Dezhong was puzzled, so he planned to come to the door to ask for clarification.
Along the mountain, outside the Iron Stone Fort, the Iron Stone Rope, the Iron Tribulus Trap and so on are all available, the mountain road only allows two carriages to pass side by side, thousands of troops and horses are difficult to impact here, can only bombard the Iron Stone Fort far away with artillery.
However, these precautions can only deal with secular officers and soldiers, but they can't stop a cultivator like Qi Dezhong, Qimen Shenxing spread out step by step, his feet are like the wind, his feet are not dusty, and he is like a fairy, avoiding all kinds of dangers along the way, Qi Dezhong came to the gate of the Iron and Stone Castle, which is a gate made of two steels. There is no shortage of gold and iron in the area around Ironstone Fort.
The steel gates were airtight, and the walls of the fort were filled with bandits armed with muskets.
"Qi Dezhong, a scattered person in the rivers and lakes, wants to meet fellow cultivators in Ironstone Castle!" If there were only bandits in Ironstone Castle, Qi Dezhong would probably rush directly into it and kill him, but since he knew that there were also cultivators inside, Qi Dezhong planned to keep the last trace of the etiquette of meeting fellow cultivators.
The path of cultivation is long and difficult, and every point of cultivation is not easy to achieve, since in order to seek immortality and detachment, there is no need for cultivators to meet each other to fight to the death, especially after the establishment of the Red Mountain Council, the competition between sects and factions has been greatly slowed down.
It's a pity that such a number of rituals has not been responded, Qi Dezhong's shouting and voice are enough for people within a radius to hear clearly, and the cultivation is not deceiving, if you don't hear it, then there is nothing to say.
Jueyun Sword Out, in "The Thirteen Swords of the Yellow Court", if you judge Jin Cheyu as the most profitable, it should be Luo Qian of Efeng Town.
It was just a two-finger-wide Peerless Cloud Sword, and at this time, the sword intent was like an axe that opened the sky, and the invisible mana stretched out, and the entire Iron Stone Fort seemed to be shrouded in a terrifying aura.
The sword slashed down, and a huge gap was suddenly chopped out of the steel gate, allowing Qi Dezhong to walk by with his head bowed.
Between the two gates, there was a narrow space, in the dark room, the ground was slightly slippery, and Qi Dezhong's nose moved, and he knew what it was.
In the distance, there was a "release!", and the fire between the two gates suddenly lit up, and a little spark sprinkled on the ground, igniting the black oil on the ground, and several barrels of gunpowder piled up in the corners also detonated instantly.
There were several bangs, and there was a violent shaking inside and outside the Iron Stone Castle, and the steel gate on the inner side seemed to be hit by a strange force, rising slightly, and then a puff of green smoke rose from the gap below.
"Hahahaha-as expected!" Behind the gate was a clearing, and a Taoist priest dressed in Taoist clothes, tied with hairpins, and a slightly obscene face appeared and laughed: "It's another guy who thinks he can break through with a little bit of mana, and the black oil specially refined by the mountain people is enough to burn stones into pulp, plus six barrels full of gunpowder, if you don't blow you up into minced meat, it is difficult to show that I am a scheming person!"
"Immortal Elder is amazing!" At this time, Huang Zhang, the master of the Young Castle, also came out of a corner, and praised with a thumbs up: "I have sent people to investigate everywhere before, it is said that this guy named Qi Dezhong has been expelled from the door wall by the Feiyun Gate of Biting Mountain before, and he is a scattered person who has no support. ”
Fushengzi was slightly shocked in his heart, and secretly scolded Huang Zhang for why he didn't say it earlier, but after a turn of his brain, he was expelled from the original sect, and most of them were abolished from cultivating mana, but for some reason, Qi Dezhong seemed to have a little bit of cultivation.
"Immortal Chief, what should I do now?" Huang Zhang's eyes were vicious: "This Qi Dezhong has caused nearly half of my subordinates to lose, but it's a pity that I can't teach him a good lesson." ”
Fushengzi is pretending to be a master and has a superior demeanor: "Hey, people die and die, why bother with more obsessions." It's just that this Xianxia Guan, where Qi Dezhong has settled, is the property of the Chen Mansion in Changlin County, have you figured out how to deal with it?"
Huang Zhang, the lord of Shaobao, also looked confident: "Immortal Chief, please rest assured, I have already negotiated with the government of Changlin County, and tomorrow I will go down the mountain to shovel the Chen Mansion, and the government can also loot the Chen Mansion property in the name of arresting the thief, which is a mutually beneficial strategy for both sides." ”
"Okay, good!" Fushengzi nodded and said: "Recently, the anti-thieves of the Heavenly King Sect have also approached Changlin County, who knows if such an unscrupulous gentleman who has accumulated ill-gotten wealth has already colluded with the anti-thieves? ”
