Beiyin Great Sage

Land Soaring Technique: Perfection.

Running speed on flat land is increased by 9%, tossing and turning, body agility increased by 7%, distance jumping and height climbing increased by 6%.

It may not seem like a big increase, but this is based on perfect body skills.

Whether it is cultivation, strength, or movement speed, it is often more difficult to improve after reaching a certain level.

What percent?

Often it means a world of difference.

In real comparison, many marrow-refining warriors who practice superior body skills and even masters who have just become true qi may be nothing more than this.

in addition,

There is also the blessing of mountain climbing in the perfect state.

"Uh-huh!"

Sticking to the wall, Zhou Yi slid down silently, glanced around, lowered his body and jumped into a warehouse in front of him.

The warehouse was dark and damp, with wooden boxes stacked in the middle.

Um?

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows.

The warehouse here mainly transports wood from the mountains. There are very few places where wooden boxes are available, and even if there are, there are not so many.

"It's really weird!"

With a murmur in his mouth, Zhou Yi stepped closer, the long knife on his waist trembled slightly, and the wooden box was cut open silently with a flash of light.

"clatter……"

When he opened the wooden box, what he saw made him shrink his eyes and look horrified.

arrow!

Armor-piercing arrow!

This is an arrow unique to the imperial military.

It is two feet and seven inches long. The arrowhead is forged from fine iron. It is four inches long and two points, with three forked edges. It is made of copper wood as the pole and phoenix feathers as the feathers.

This kind of arrow is extremely vicious.

It can break armor. The arrow blade has grooves and thorns. When it enters the body, it can cause endless blood flow. It cannot be pulled out. If it is pulled out, it will tear off a large piece of flesh.

get shot,

On the battlefield, it almost means death!

The pure Yang iron cloth shirt has been cultivated to the point where the iron cloth covers the body. The skin and flesh are hard and very tough. If ordinary arrows fall on the body, if the force is not enough, they can be bounced away.

He Dong could do it back then.

But this does not include armor-piercing arrows.

The arrow head is sharp, even if it is thrown by ordinary people, it is still very lethal. If the warrior bends the bow and sets the arrows to fire a volley, the marrow warrior can also surround and kill it.

There are also disadvantages.

One is that it is expensive to make, and fine iron tips, paulownia wood, and phoenix feathers are not cheap.

The second is that this arrow is too heavy. An armor-breaking arrow can weigh several kilograms. It is difficult for ordinary archers to shoot far, let alone aim and shoot continuously.

Inside the wooden box, armor-piercing arrows were stacked neatly. Even though the room was dark, the polished arrow tips still showed a chilling light.

"Military killing weapon."

Zhou Yi sighed:

"You are so brave!"

Shaking his head, he reached out and took out two armor-piercing arrows from the box.

"what happened?"

Zhang Xian jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the gatekeeper, strode towards the courtyard, and shouted:

"What happened to call me back so urgently?"

He was escorting the goods when he was called back. Naturally, he was unhappy. There was anger between his brows, ready to explode at any time.

"head."

One person's face turned pale, he hurriedly came forward and whispered:

"Zhou Yi is here!"

"Um?"

Zhang Xian frowned:

"What's going on? What is he doing here?"

"I don't know either." The guard shook his head:

"Maybe it was a whim and I wanted to come over and have a look."

"Did you let him in?" Zhang Xian looked gloomy. He knew very well what was in the warehouse and must not let anyone discover it.

"Of course not." The guard waved his hands repeatedly and then said:

"But not long after Zhou left, we found that a wooden box in the warehouse had been opened, and two armor-piercing arrows were missing from it, so we called you back."

"..."

Zhang Xian paused in his steps, the muscles on his face jumped back and forth, and said:

"really?"

"It's absolutely true." The guard said with a bitter look on his face.

"Boss, how dare we lie to you about such a big matter?"

"Little beast!" Zhang Xian looked ferocious and gritted his steel teeth:

"I thought he was honest and wanted to spare his life, but I didn't expect him to be an immature wolf cub. I shouldn't have given him a chance if I had known better."

"head."

The guard spoke:

"What should we do now?"

"go!"

Zhang Xian took a deep breath and said coldly:

"Whether or not the disappearance of the armor-piercing arrow is related to the person named Zhou, please take precautions first. By the way, let me know over there. I will be here to guard you."

"quick!"

"yes."

The guard swayed and responded urgently.

…………

Chen Long's face was gloomy, and the anger in his eyes was about to burst out. He swung the whip rope in his hand repeatedly, and the horse under his crotch screamed in pain from time to time, and ran with all his strength.

"drive!"

"drive!"

Behind him, more than ten guardians galloped on their horses with cold expressions.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate.

More than a dozen riders were galloping around at extremely fast speeds. Even if they turned sharply, they did not slow down at all. The horses' hooves were urgent and murderous intent surged. At this moment, the more than ten riders appeared to be like thousands of horses.

Zhou Yi was among them, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Chen Tou doesn't make much public appearances and is easily ignored by people in Liuying Courtyard. He never thought that he would have such elites under his command.

There are more than a dozen people, and every one of them is at least successful in leather refining.

There are also three Zang-refining warriors among them.

It is not obvious at ordinary times, but the horse is galloping forward, breathing as if it were one body, and the charging momentum is so terrifying that even a marrow refining warrior cannot stop it.

The Lin family is worthy of being the top wealthy family in the world. They can take action casually, and they are such elites.

Moreover, this group of people were full of murderous intent and had cold eyes. They were completely different from those warriors whose hands were not stained with blood. They looked more like people on the battlefield.

"Hush!"

Chen Long, who was at the front, pulled the reins and soared into the sky, like a flying roc, crossing the high wall and landing in the middle of the warehouse courtyard.

"boom……"

The others did not stop there. Instead, under the leadership of the three people in the front row, they thrust their spears, smashed through the heavy door, and filed into the courtyard.

"Hush!"

It was only then that the knights pulled up the reins, dismounted with swords and guns in hand, and their movements were neat and orderly.

"What are you doing?"

"My own people, my own people."

"..."

The workers and guards in the hospital all turned pale when faced with the aggressive group of people, and even their voices to stop them sounded submissive and weak.

"snort!"

Chen Long glanced at the people in the field and waved his hand:

"Search!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing the sound, the riders immediately split into half and rushed to each room in the warehouse.

The guards in the courtyard opened their mouths, but under the glare of the remaining people, they had to stop their movements and huddled in the corner with a stern expression. They did not dare to stop this group of tigers and wolves.

"Chen Tou."

Zhou Yi frowned slightly, came closer and whispered:

"Something's wrong, it wasn't them when I came here just now!"

There were more than twenty people here at that time, many of them warriors, armed with crossbows and well-equipped. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to go all the way back to call for reinforcements.

Now, there are only a few old, young, sick and disabled people left.

"oh!"

Chen Long looked sideways:

"Are you sure?"

"Sure……"

"Chen Tou!"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

Zhang Xian, whose clothes were a little messy, ran out of a room with surprise on his face. He quickly came to Chen Long, cupped his hands and said:

"Boss, why are you here free?"

"Zhang Xian."

Chen Long looked at him, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Why do you ask knowingly? We have worked together for more than ten years. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Why do you need to do those beheading transactions?"

"You know, you are the Lin family nurse, and every move you make may affect the Lin family!"

"Head." Zhang Xian's expression changed:

"What do you mean? I don't understand."

"Ahem..." Zhou Yi coughed lightly and said:

"Senior Zhang, didn't you go to escort the goods? When did you come back?"

"I've been here today." Zhang Xian looked confused, then frowned, stared at Zhou Yi and shouted:

"Zhou Yi, didn't you follow Zhang Guan to escort the goods today? As the deputy here, why would you just give up on the first day of work?"

"Zhang Xian!"

Chen Long shouted:

"No need to be pretentious, let me ask you, why are you smuggling banned weapons from the military?"

As he spoke, he flicked his big hand, and two armor-piercing arrows fell heavily on the ground. Under the great force of the marrow refining warrior, the arrow shafts were broken into two pieces on the spot.

He didn't believe Zhou Yi was lying at all.

The two of them had no grievances, and there was nothing to gain by lying. The only possibility was that there was something wrong with the warehouse.

"Forbidden weapon?"

"Is this... an armor-piercing arrow?"

Zhang Xian lowered his head, looked at the armor-piercing arrow holes on the ground with confusion, and then shouted to Qu Lai:

"Boss, we have been working together for more than ten years. When have I done this kind of thing?"

"If you don't believe it, just search for it. If you find an armor-piercing arrow here, I, Lao Zhang, will personally pick off the head and put it in front of you!"

With an angry look on his face, he stamped his feet and cursed. He looked at Zhou Yi frequently and said angrily:

"is that you?"

"Did you frame me up?"

"head!"

At this time, someone from the nursing home who went to search had returned, cupping his fists and cupping his hands and saying:

"No!"

"I don't have one here either!"

"I don't have one here either!"

"..."

Although the warehouse was large, it was mostly open space. It was clear what was in the room, and the guards came back one after another, all shaking their heads.

"head!"

Zhang Xian's eyes widened and he raised his voice:

"You also heard that there are no armor-piercing arrows, a forbidden weapon of the imperial court, here. It's just that someone slandered me and wrongly accused me!"

"Unjustly accused?" Chen Long frowned and looked sideways:

"Zhou Yi, how do you explain?"

Since the thing was not there, it was naturally more likely that Zhou Yi was lying, but this made no sense. Why would he slander Zhang Xian for no reason?

There is no need to fight for power.

It won't be long before Zhou Yi will be picked up by the mountain. Staying in the outer courtyard will ruin his future.

but……

Zhang Xian and Chen Long have also worked together for more than ten years and have mutual trust.

for a time,

He was also a little hesitant.

"Senior Zhang."

Zhou Yi chuckled and stepped forward:

"You have obviously followed Brother Zhang to escort the goods, but you returned suddenly. You must have received a summons. How can you have no clues about transporting things in such a short time?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the guard in the courtyard:

"They should also know something."

After all, the warehouse is not a small place, and people have to move goods every day. Anyone who lives here must know something fishy.

As for finding someone at short notice, it is even more suspicious and arouses suspicion.

"snort!"

Zhang Xian's eyes were cold and he snorted softly:

"What, you still want to give in?"

"..." Zhou Yi looked at the other party, but he didn't expect that he couldn't bear it to this extent. Maybe Zhang Xianzhen had the ability to keep others silent, but he didn't only have such means.

Then he nodded and said:

"It's fine without torture. There will always be traces on the ground if the goods are moved, right?"

"have."

A nurse who was obviously an expert nodded when he heard this:

"There are indeed traces of the carriage going out here, but the traces are very shallow. If the distance is too far, it is unlikely to be traced."

"snort!"

Zhang Xian showed provocation:

"Today's delivery will naturally have traces. This is normal. If you just rely on this to say that I smuggled banned devices, I'm afraid it will be hard to convince people."

really.

If there is no evidence, others will not believe it.

Even Chen Long, who was very aggressive before coming, now has doubts in his eyes, moving his eyes back and forth between Zhou Yi and Zhang Xian.

"As long as there are traces." Faced with Zhang Xian's provocation, Zhou Yi smiled lightly and took a scoop of water from the water tank on the side.

He took the water ladle and poured it on the ground.

"Wow..."

Water spilled onto the ground and flowed along rutted ravines.

"Zhang, what are you doing?"

Zhang Xian laughed when he saw this:

"Is it possible that you still know the divination skills of quacks?"

"No." Zhou Yi shook his head and pointed downward:

"Everyone, please take a look."

"Well……"

"Purple?"

"What's this?"

But in the water flow, a faint trace of purple appeared. Although it was not obvious, it was clearly distinguishable from the soil.

Chen Long raised his eyebrows:

"Zhou Yi, what's going on?"

"This is the mycelium of the purple-leafed mushroom... It's the white layer on top of the mountain mushroom." Zhou Yi explained:

"This thing doesn't show up normally, but it changes color when exposed to water."

"It's a coincidence. Just in case when I left, I sprinkled these boxes and carriages with this substance. You can find where the goods are delivered by following the color."

The purple-leafed mushroom is a poisonous mushroom. The hyphae have extremely strong adhesion and change color when exposed to water. This is a small method that Zhou Yi has developed over the past few years to track people.

The key is that poisonous mushroom mycelium is very common in the mountains. It is like a layer of hoarfrost. Even if it touches the body, it will not arouse suspicion.

Moreover, this product is not commonly used by ordinary people, and is rarely used in drug stores. It is expected that even experts who are proficient in the art of medicine and poison will not notice anything abnormal.

"Senior Zhang."

Raising his head, Zhou Yi spoke slowly:

"Now, what else do you have to say?"

Chen Long's face was gloomy, and the others were quietly preparing to capture him.

"snort!"

Zhang Xian's eyes flashed and he suddenly hummed:

"What bullshit mountain mushrooms? It's what you say. Zhang walks upright and sits up straight. If he says he hasn't done it, he hasn't done it."

"You think you can fool me with this kind of trick?"
