I have an eternal eye

After all, he held a high position. The old man quickly stabilized his mind and said with a faint glance: "Oh...how do you say it?"

Zheng Yongxiang took a step forward and whispered: "Third uncle, these sects don't take us seriously."

"It is indeed the best choice to send a child from the clan to join the sect, but you can't put all your eggs in one basket, in case in the future..."

After hearing this, the old man remained silent and looked at Zheng Yongxiang, his eyes becoming strange, "Yongxiang, you kid is unwilling to be lonely."

Zheng Yongxiang's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he pretended to be sad and angry: "Third uncle, I am doing this all for the sake of the family. You..."

"Okay, okay!"

The old man waved his hand, "Everyone has their own ideas. As soon as you stick your butt out, I will know what you are planning."

"But the Zheng family will not gamble, let alone risk offending Xuanduguan. The best I can do is pretend not to see Third Uncle."

"Whether it's a disaster or a blessing, you have to bet on it yourself!"

"But if you get into any trouble, you have to think about the consequences..."

Zheng Yongxiang's face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with uncertainty.

He knew that his thoughts had not been hidden from this old fox.

If the bet is successful, the family will be proud of it.

Once Xuanduguan feels that they are on both ends of the spectrum and want to make small moves, then he will be the scapegoat.

Seems unfair.

But there is no other way. As a child of the Zheng family, all the bargaining chips he can offer are family belongings.

Zheng Yongxiang was silent for a moment, then slowly gritted his teeth and handed over his hand, "The Iron Fire Gang has taken refuge with Tai Sui Immortal Master, but the gang leader Wu Tiexiong killed Yong Hui. Please ask your third uncle to help resolve this knot."

"That thing..."

The old man picked up the cup and took a long sip of tea, "Yonghui's behavior is indeed a bit out of character, but after all, someone died in Jiufang, so we can't let people say that I'm bullying my own people."

"In this way, if you let Jiufang calm down, I will take the decision to withdraw from the Iron Fire Gang's pursuit order."

Zheng Yongxiang was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Just as Third Uncle said, I'll go talk to Jiufang."

After that, he turned around and left.

After leaving the city lord's palace, the anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed, and he murmured: "I want to get any benefits, and I don't want to bear any bad reputation. In this case, don't blame me for being unjust..."

With that said, he called the men next to him and whispered: "Yonghui owes a large sum of money to the gambling house, so he is in a hurry to deal with the Iron Fire Gang. Let the debt collectors go and cause trouble for a while, and then I will come."

"Yes, sir."

The men understood and left in a hurry.

Watching his men leave, Zheng Yongxiang was not in a hurry and headed towards the Moyang City Market. He spent a lot of money and bought a lot of daily necessities, as well as a lot of piglets and chickens.

He knew that he could not please Tai Sui for the time being, but if he pleased the people around him and even integrated into Qingfeng Village, it would be easier to talk about many things.

The impact of the heavy fog on the people is visible to the naked eye. The inconvenience is only one aspect. The soaring prices and terrifying rumors from various places are even more alarming.

"Have you heard that Tugang Village disappeared? There was no one alive in the whole village overnight, and everyone turned into mummies."

"How is that possible? Isn't there a land temple?"

"Oh, if we encounter something powerful, even the Earth Temple can't handle it. The mud tire will be shattered..."

"What does this mean? I heard that there was a big river monster in the river again. Not a single cargo ship going to Taiping City was left behind. All the monks who passed through were dead."

"Duliang Mountain is not peaceful either. Several hunters have not come back..."

Merchants gathered in the market, and various news spread quickly.

Zheng Yongxiang naturally knows better.

Tugang Village encountered a serious ghost.

The river leading to Taiping City is haunted by river monsters.

As for Duliang Mountain, Xuyuan went there once and was almost injured. When he came back, he didn't give him a good look and didn't even want to say more.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yongxiang thought to himself: Each of these monks is extremely selfish. Even if the legitimate sons succeed in their studies in the future, who will do their best to support the family?

The owner of the family probably also knows that, hum, the Zheng family's ship will capsize sooner or later, so it's better to make plans early...

At this moment, his subordinates hurriedly came over and whispered: "Sir, there has been a commotion over in the Ninth House."

Zheng Yongxiang nodded slightly, his eyes gradually turned sinister, and disappeared into the thick fog...

………………

Hurrah!

As the hammer struck, the gravel continued to fall, and a hole gradually appeared in the stone wall.

Wu Tiexiong held up a torch and took a look. He saw that it was crystal clear inside, and he suddenly became happy. "Good guy, there are indeed stone and jade mines, and they are all top quality."

As he said that, his eyes were a little sad, and he shook his head and said: "It's a pity. If the world was not in chaos, these could only be sold at a good price if they were transported to Yujing City. Now that we can't even eat, who would want this."

Zhang Biao also took a look.

Indeed, as Wu Tiexiong said, it is full of high-quality jade, as crystal clear as glass, but extremely tough.

This thing is not a high-grade jade, but it is more valuable than ordinary broken jade. It is looked down upon by the wealthy families, but the wealthy families in Yujing City who have some spare money like to buy it to make utensils.

Zhang Biao smiled and said, "Even if it is mined, remember to keep it as complete as possible and carve it into jade boxes and vases. The Taoist priests of Xuandu Temple should want it."

The biggest advantage of jade is that it can store medicinal materials.

The jade stones in these caves are all in the shape of six-sided jade pillars, which are large and complete. Compared with high-quality jade stones of the same size, they are not only beautiful, but also more cost-effective.

Wu Tiexiong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he called to the back: "Quick, quick, quick, use wooden beams to support the mine, be careful, remember to keep it intact..."

A wooden frame had already been set up on the stone wall. When the craftsmen below heard it, they immediately climbed up.

They were trapped in Qingfeng Village, and their bones were already itching from idleness.

Zhang Biao jumped down, looked at the lively scene above, smiled and shook his head.

There was something he didn't elaborate on.

This Qingfeng Village, because of the presence of willow spirits, is where the nearby mountains and earth veins converge. The cave he found is also a place rich in spiritual energy in the basin, second only to the willow trees.

Those jade stones were contaminated with spiritual energy and were far more valuable than Wu Tiexiong imagined. Unfortunately, they were not of high grade, otherwise they would be more valuable.

Thinking of this, he felt a little emotional.

Although Huaizhou is far less prosperous than Yujing City, it has many mountains and warehouses, many places to hide wind and energy, and many treasures and minerals.

No wonder Xuanduguan had just established a foothold in Bozhou and hurriedly reached out here.

Unfortunately, there is no clue as to what he is looking for.

By practicing the Qi Technique of the "Three Yang Sutra", he has reached the realm of physical training. Perhaps he used the Dragon Blood Spirit Ginseng to fortify his body in advance. His current physique is far superior to that of the same monks. If he continues to train his body, the amount of Qi required will be even greater. .

This is what a strong foundation is. While laying a solid foundation, more resources must be consumed, especially the method of taking the "Three Yang Sutra".

Dragon blood ginseng is extremely rare. He plundered the treasure house of the Fire Sect and only found two of them. He ate another one along the way. Where should he find a treasure of the same level...

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao became a little worried.

He looked into the distance. Because he was wearing a Nuo mask on his head, the thick fog could not hide it. He could see the direction of another mountain road. A white mist rose into the sky, circled for a week and then fell again, rhythmically like a fountain.

That place was probably Xuandu Guan's secret base in Huaizhou. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable if it was not close to a place as big as Taizhou and only Master Xuyuan was there.

Zheng Yongxiang once mentioned that someone had seen a giant snake hovering above the bamboo forest, spitting out clouds and mist, and he thought it was this thing.

Do they also raise spiritual beasts?

Zhang Biao became more and more curious. He waited until dark, put on a magic weapon, left Qingfeng Village, and disappeared into the darkness...

…………

The heavy fog obscures the sky, and the sun and moon lack light.

Especially at night, the surrounding mountains are completely dark, as if eternal night has fallen, except for the occasional ghosts and ghosts floating beside the dense forest on the mountain road.

This environment is most suitable for Zhang Biao.

Under Nuo Mian's field of vision, the surrounding scenery is unobstructed.

Uh-huh!

The invisible hook flew out, and the black spear head pierced the stone wall fiercely. The wind whistled in Zhang Biao's ears, and it swayed high on the steep cliff, more than ten feet above the ground.

When he reached the highest point, the gun head suddenly retracted, he spread his arms, as if flying in the wind, slid out for hundreds of meters and began to fall, but he turned over and landed on the towering tree crown.

At this moment, it was extremely enjoyable.

Zhang Biao grinned, feeling a little regretful.

If the ghost cloak is still there, you can use the shadow escape technique in the air. The movement technique will be even more weird and strange, and I am afraid no one can match it.

It seems that the materials need to be collected as soon as possible and refined again.

Thinking of this, he exerted his strength on both feet and kept jumping on the high tree crown. He came to a cliff and jumped. At the same time, the invisible hook flew out, pulling him up suddenly.

After two ups and downs, we have reached the top of the mountains.

The night wind stirred up the thick fog, and Zhang Biao looked into the distance.

He crossed several ridges in succession and finally came to the ancient Yanguo Plank Road that Zheng Yongxiang mentioned.

The so-called plank road is a road built on a cliff.

I saw a bottomless abyss below, like a huge scar, dividing the entire mountain range and spreading into the distance.

This is the most famous ground fissure pit in Huaizhou.

In all parts of Huaizhou, except for the high mountains and ridges, the most common ones are this kind of deep pits, which tear the earth apart and form strange mountains.

Some turned into rivers, connecting various parts of Huaizhou.

Some are abysses filled with miasma, making it difficult for birds and animals to survive.

On the opposite cliff, an inward depression was cut out to form a mountain road that could be used by a carriage.

There are ancient wooden bridges with stone railings in some places, but most of them are empty. If the mountain wind is stronger, people can be blown down, which looks extremely thrilling.

This is the famous ancient Yanguo Plank Road.

Thousands of years ago, the great cause of the previous dynasty had not yet appeared, and the nine states in the Central Plains were not unified. There were many ancient countries entrenched in each place, and the various places were in chaos. They were in the Age of End of Dharma. Many historical records are unknown, only their names are known.

Huaizhou was the territory of the ancient Yan Kingdom.

The reason why this plank road is famous is because when the great cause was to pacify Kyushu, he once crossed the plank road secretly and defeated Yan in one battle.

What really caught Zhang Biao's attention was an ancient city standing on the mountainside along the plank road.

Only the ruins of the ancient city are left, surrounded by dense potholes. New wooden buildings have been built in the open space, and there are flickering lights.

It turned out to be a mining town...

Zhang Biao knew it at first sight.

Huaizhou has a complex terrain and many mineral deposits. Xuanduguan must have discovered some important minerals here before he fabricated the lie.

Creating mazes at both ends of the mountain road can block the nearby people and the Zheng family. If he hadn't had the ability to cross the ridge and have the Nuo surface to expand his field of vision, it would have been difficult to find him.

After all, there are more than just Xuandu Guan activities in Huaizhou.

What did they find?

call!

At this moment, a blue-white flame suddenly erupted from the cave and turned into a dense fireball. After dissipating, it quickly returned to normal.

wildfire?

Zhang Biao was thoughtful and remembered what Zheng Yongxiang said about the rich phosphate rock nearby.

What spiritual materials can be found in phosphate rock?

At this moment, Zhang Biao frowned and squatted down quickly.

I saw the fishy wind blowing in the abyss below, and a huge white snake as thick as a wheel twisted and circled up the cliff...
