Chapter 154: The Shadow of Pengshan (I)

Suddenly, a scroll caught Xiao Ziyang's attention. The task of the deacon on this scroll is very ordinary, it is to recruit deacon disciples for a place called Guiyuan Mountain, but the remuneration is high and terrifying, as high as five hundred spirit stones and fifty merit cards per month, and the requirements are extremely low, only six layers of qi training are required.

Xiao Ziyang took a closer look and found out. This Guiyuan Mountain is not in the Daluo Sect. but in the territory of Qingzhou.

This is the name of Yuanshan, Xiao Ziyang can be said to be like thunder. Because it is the second-ranked millennium faction in the Xiliang martial arts.

Guiyuan Mountain is the martial arts sect of the Daluo faction stationed in the mortal world to deal with mortal things.

The scroll was covered in dust, apparently left unattended for a long time. It's not hard to see why. Daluo Mountain is a first-class spiritual vein in Xiliang, even on the plain below the mountain, it has reached the level of a medium-grade spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy is as important to monks as water is to mortals.

In terms of cultivation resources, if Daluo Mountain is compared to the land of fish and rice, Guiyuan Mountain, which only barely reaches the lower grade spiritual vein, is undoubtedly the bitter cold land of the northwest border.

Xiao Ziyang's heart moved slightly, his chaotic spiritual root was never picky when absorbing spiritual energy. No matter what kind of aura is gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and ice, they all receive it as ordered, and the efficiency of using aura is almost seven or eight times that of other monks. The lower grade spiritual vein is enough for Xiao Ziyang, who is currently cultivating.

However, Xiao Ziyang quickly gave up this plan. Although he has been like a sponge in the past two years, learning a lot of various cultivation knowledge, he is still far from the point where he can leave his master to cultivate alone.

After Xiao Ziyang walked around the main hall, he finally selected a reconnaissance mission.

The content of this mission is that in the remote mountainous area of Pengshan County in the southeast of Qingzhou, there have been many strange deaths of mortals recently. The deceased died with dried blood all over his body, but there was no trace of blood on or around the deceased, so it was suspected that it was the work of evil cultivators.

After the scroll is at its worst, ask the monk who received the task to go to the Baoqingtang branch of Pengshan County and Guangshan City, and someone will lead him to investigate the case.

Xiao Ziyang found that the various semicolons of this Baoqing Hall seemed to be the liaison stations of the Da Luo Sect stationed in the mortal world. It seems that Guiyuan Mountain, which manages the mortal industry of the Daluo faction, does not belong to each other.

He left the archdeacon's hall after registering his identity and the tasks he had received from the deacon's disciples in the temple.

Back in the Immortal Mansion, Xiao Ziyang sprinkled the silvertail grass seeds in the spiritual field outside the courtyard, and he didn't bother to pay more attention to it.

Three days later, a purple rainbow rose from outside the gate of Da Luopai Mountain. After flying for dozens of miles, Zihong quickly faded and finally disappeared without a trace.

It was Xiao Ziyang who was driving this purple rainbow. Xiao Ziyang's recent mastery of the three-level invisible escape method, although the escape speed is fast, and there is no shadow and invisibility between the flights. However, this spell is quite mana drain. Even with Xiao Ziyang's mana far beyond that of a pass-level cultivator, it could only support this retreat for more than an hour.

However, Xiao Ziyang found that this escape technique could be combined with the flight of the magic weapon. Flying away with a magic weapon, and then covering the body of the aura with the invisible escape method, although it is not as good as directly using the invisible escape method to conceal it, it can greatly save mana.

There is a distance of nearly 3,000 miles from the Da Luopai Mountain Gate in Tai'an Mountain to Guangshan City in Pengshan County, Qingzhou. With the speed of Xiao Ziyang's Imperial Spirit Sword, if you rush overnight, you can reach it that night.

However, the mission was not urgent. Xiao Ziyang rested on the way for a night. At noon the next day, they arrived at Hiroyama Castle.

In Qingzhou, the terrain is flat, and only in the southwest, in Pengshan County, which borders Yizhou, the terrain has ups and downs. However, most of the mountainous areas in Pengshan County are low hills.

Hiroyama Castle is located in a basin among the hills.

Xiao Ziyang was in the woods next to the official road outside the city, pressed the flying sword, and mixed in the flow of people entering and leaving the city gate on the official road and entered the city.

Boqingtang is the largest pharmacy in Hirosan Castle. It is located in the center of the main street that runs from north to south in the city.

This pharmacy is high and wide, in and out of the pharmacy to grab medicine, there is an endless stream of people to see a doctor, the lobby is very wide, there are dozens of people sitting in the hall alone.

Xiao Ziyang stood in the lobby, looked around, and soon saw that there was a middle-aged man behind the counter who was particularly conspicuous. In this lobby, whether it is the guy who grabs the medicine or the account office that collects the money, everyone is so busy that they don't have time to take a breath, but this person is the only one who has his hands and sits behind the counter dozing.

Xiao Ziyang knew that this person was the person he was looking for.

This person's identity in the store is the second shopkeeper. Nominally, it is to supervise the people in the store. But he had only one real task, and that was to receive the disciples of the Daluo Sect.

Xiao Ziyang walked to the counter in front of this person and knocked lightly on the counter. The middle-aged man glanced up at Xiao Ziyang in confusion.

Xiao Ziyang opened his palm in front of the man, revealing the emerald green token that represented his identity.

When the man saw the token, he suddenly stood up with a thud. His sudden movement made the guys around him look at him.

Xiao Ziyang frowned slightly when he saw this.

When the man saw Xiao Ziyang's expression, beads of sweat on his face immediately seeped out. He stammered and was speechless for a while.

Xiao Ziyang shook his head. It's no wonder that this person's reaction is so fierce, this Pengshan County is already remote, and there are no famous mountains and rivers in the territory, and there are no spiritual mines, although this person's task is to receive monks, I am afraid that he will not see a real monk in a few years.

In the eyes of mortals, immortal cultivators are incomparably mysterious, powerful and noble.

This person was seen by Xiao Ziyang when he was dozing off, and he was naturally very flustered.

The man panicked for a moment, then finally came to his senses. He hurriedly walked out of the counter, bent down to Xiao Ziyang and said, "Your old man, please come with me." ”

While leading the way, he instructed a fellow: "Go and ask the chief treasurer, and say that there is a distinguished guest in the hometown." Invite him to meet him in the backyard. ”

Xiao Ziyang followed the man through the courtyard behind the pharmacy and came to a very elegantly arranged courtyard. The man invited Xiao Ziyang to sit down in the main hall, served tea, and after sending the girl away, he suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Ziyang with a thud.

"Small sins deserve death, neglect the immortal master, please forgive the immortal master. ”

Xiao Ziyang waved his hand and said, "Get up, I think you also know why I came here." Let's talk about what you know. ”

The man hurriedly got up and replied: "Hui Immortal Master, recently, in some remote mountain villages in Pengshan County, there have been many deaths in the prime of life for no reason. Some of the old officials in the government suspected that it was the evil cultivators, so they informed me of the Baoqing Hall, and after the chief treasurer sent someone to see it, they also thought that it was the evil cultivators, and immediately sent a message to inform the deacon of Xianshan. ”

Xiao Ziyang nodded, among the evil cultivators, there are many methods of using mortal souls, flesh and blood to refine magic weapons, just like the evil cultivator he encountered in Taifu Mountain back then, he was using the flesh and blood of the bandits to feed a magic weapon called Hundred Ghost Sail.

However, whether it was the evil cultivator's doing, and if so, what kind of evil sect magic weapon the evil cultivator was refining could only be concluded after seeing the victim's corpse.
