The fairy is fierce

The autumn sky was hanging in the sky, and the Kutuo River was rippling with blue waves.

Shangguan Lingye stood by the river, watching the two women and one man walk away, and then turned his eyes to the spiritual field.

Unlike the dress of the noble ladies in the palace in the past, Shangguan Lingye wore a coarse linen skirt and a headscarf. From a distance, she looked like a young farm wife washing clothes by the river.

When a cultivator reaches the peak of Youhuang, he can control all things with all five elements, and naturally he can also change his body shape. With Shangguan Lingye's cultivation, it is not a problem to change into flowers, butterflies, plants and trees.

However, changing the body shape will cause fluctuations in spiritual energy. In the practice of Taoism, the most it can do is to deceive mortals, or to play fun between Taoist partners, changing into various appearances to please each other, etc.

If you want to use it to disguise and deceive opponents of the same realm, the effect is not as good as standing still and silently saying "You can't see me, you can't see me".

Shangguan Lingye didn't even know why she appeared here.

Maybe she wanted to observe the relationship between Zuo Lingquan and the ancestor; or maybe she had stayed in the palace for too long and had a free labor force to take over the shift, so she wanted to come out to relax; or maybe a drink under the moonlight made her feel the feeling of "friends", and she could no longer bear the loneliness of only shadows around her.

Maybe all the factors are there, but Shangguan Lingye doesn't need to think about it at this time, because the purpose of this time seems to be right in front of her.

After observing for a while, Shangguan Lingye walked towards the thatched cottage between the spiritual fields.

Outside the thatched cottage, the people and the monks mixed together, waiting in line to go in for medical treatment; the people who came out praised and thanked, and it seemed that they did not accept a penny.

Such a clinic, in the secular world, is definitely a great benefactor in the surrounding area, worthy of being written into the county annals for eternity.

But Shangguan Lingye has been in the Demon Hunting Division for too long and has seen too many kind-hearted villains.

In the past case files, the evil demons who killed and set fire everywhere and thought they were "the best in the world" were often the lowest-level opponents. They were easy to find and even easier to kill, and almost no effort was needed.

The more difficult ones are people like Tang Tiejin, who are cautious and hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and even repair bridges and roads to benefit the villagers; if they don't make any mistakes, it can't be seen from the external conditions at all. Until they accumulate enough strength and suddenly explode that day, people will know that this thick-browed and big-eyed man is actually a big demon. →

And the most terrifying are the evil demons who are more upright than the righteous monks.

The distinction between the righteous and the evil is made by people, and the standards are also set by people, but people's thoughts will deviate according to personal experience.

It's like a doctor who has been saving lives for a lifetime, trying to eradicate a certain disease; in the end, he found that the disease can only be inherited, so in order to prevent such diseases for future generations, he "eliminated" all the patients and took all the blame.

Or, a cultivator felt that "cultivators are a cancer that bullies the people, and the world will be better without immortals", so he died for his faith and dragged all the cultivators to death.

The original intention of this idea may be good, but the practice is too extreme, which is more terrible than the cultivators who only care about their own desires.

There are actually quite a few such extreme people in the world. According to Shangguan Lingye's understanding, there are many demonic heroes outside who are like this; these people have lived in lawless places since childhood, oppressed and exploited by cultivators, and their only ideal when they grow up is to make "immortals" disappear from Jiuzhou.

Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's talk about Shangguan Lingye's master Shangguan Yutang. He suffered enough from the rampage of wild cultivators in his childhood. Later, he established the Nine Southern Sects and set up various strict iron rules. He hung a knife over the heads of all cultivators. In fact, he had put the cultivators in a hostile position, but he was not too extreme.

In Shangguan Lingye's opinion, the Shen family thatched cottage in front of him was too "good", which met some characteristics of the second type of evil demons.

Just now, Tang Jingyan said that there was something underneath, which deepened this guess and made her sure that there was something hidden underground that could not be seen in the light.

If it was in the Great Yan Dynasty, Shangguan Lingye could go in and search without reason, but this was the Fuyu Kingdom, which was closer to the Tiandi City. If she dared to expose herself, the Tiandi City would definitely drive her out; at this time, she could only disguise herself and verify the truth of her guess herself.

Shangguan Lingye came to the outside of the courtyard and looked at the old doctor inside. Judging from the aura, he was about the middle and late stage of the spiritual valley, which was not too high, but whether it was true or not could not be seen without showing off.

If you want to check the situation underground without being discovered, you can only find the eye of the spiritual field first, then make some moves to jump over the formation and go underground to explore.

The spiritual field was in full view, with only this building by the river. Normally, the eye of the formation and the entrance to the underground should be inside the thatched cottage.

After Shangguan Lingye took a few glances, he went around to the back of the thatched cottage without anyone noticing, and found a small building at the back of the courtyard according to the path of the spiritual energy flow.

But the courtyard was covered by the formation, and there was no way to do anything without going through it. She thought for a while, and could only hide in the dark to see if there was a chance to sneak in... ——

The city of burning smoke was calm.

Zuo Lingquan returned to the city to inquire about the origins of the Shen Family Cottage. After asking around, he learned that the owner of the cottage was named Shen Wen, who came to Zhuoyan City more than 20 years ago. It was said that he was born in the Medicine King Pagoda, had excellent medical skills, was a high level of alchemy, and was a good person. He had some personal relationship with Lei Hongliang of Leigong Mountain, and the Lingtian property was bought by Lei Hongliang through negotiations with the Zhuoyan Sect.

The news was not suspicious at first, but it was a bit weird when it was related to Lei Hongliang, as if there was a thread connecting various things together.

Wu Qingwan came here for her second uncle. After thinking about it carefully, she said:

"I feel that something big is hidden behind Leigong Mountain. My second uncle disappeared more than 20 years ago, and it must be related to this matter."

The three of them were a little tired after walking around for a long time, so they sat down in the boat to rest.

Tang Jingxuan sat on the couch, holding the dumplings in his hands, thinking for a while and saying:

"Do you think it's like this? Well... It's similar to the Tang family and his son in Zezhou. Lei Hongliang is a great evil man who raises a fire-related monster underground. In order to cover it up, he built a spiritual field on it; The monster belongs to fire, so it must have a strong yang energy, and it needs someone with a lunar body to neutralize it, so I found that little girl..."

This statement is scary, but it does have some logic.

Zuo Lingquan thought for a moment and asked, "Second uncle is also a lunar body?"

Wu Qingwan shook her head: "Second uncle is the same as me in that the five elements are related to wood, but the horoscope is not pure yin. This view has nothing to do with second uncle."

"There's a high probability that there's something hidden underground. If you don't look, you won't be able to guess it right."

Tang Jingxun was a little worried. He looked at the dumplings in his hands and said, "They are as fat as pigs. Do you know how to dig into the soil? Why don't you dig in and take a look?"

"grumble?"

Tuanzi spread his little wings to show that he was a bird, not a pig.

Zuo Lingquan was also helpless. Lingtian's isolation formation was there, and he would be discovered if he dug a tunnel, so there was no other way.

The three people sat in the boat, racking their brains to think of countermeasures, and said nothing.

Zuo Lingquan lightly touched the table with his fingers and looked at the people coming and going on the street while thinking. He hadn't thought of a good idea yet. Instead, he saw a familiar figure on the street. Yun Zhengyang, whom he had met last night, walked out of the street with a sword on his back. Come from afar.

The boat had the function of concealing their whereabouts. Yun Zhengyang didn't notice them and was aimlessly scanning the stalls on the street.

Seeing this disciple of the Sword King of Central Continent, Zuo Lingquan raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly——

People were coming and going on the long street, and the shouts of casual cultivators could be heard all the time.

Yun Zhengyang, dressed in a gray and white robe, walked slowly with his hands behind his hands, carefully picking up leaks on the street.

Qi Jia's comment that Yun Zhengyang was stingy was actually a bit inappropriate. He was really poor and couldn't be generous at all.

Although Yun Zhengyang's master, Jiang Taiqing, was one of the Ten Sword Emperors of Central Continent, half of the swordsmen were solitary practitioners, and the same was true for Jiang Taiqing.

No matter how powerful the casual cultivator is, if he adheres to the right path and does not do evil, he will not have many ways to make money; for example, Jiang Taiqing, the Eight Lords have countless disciples and disciples who farm and dig for treasures. Jiang Taiqing only has his own sword, and he is one of the ten sword kings, so he cannot If you want to serve as a worshiper or protector for others, not many people in the world can afford it.

None of the masters had a stable source of income, let alone Yun Zhengyang, as Jiang Taiqing's apprentice. He was completely free-range and had to earn everything by himself. He was no match for the wealthy children of the Nine Sect Qingkui and the young master of the Zhongzhou Aristocratic Family.

Yun Zhengyang's plan when he came to the Nine Sects in the South this time was to grab a magic weapon from the Nine Sects Alliance, get a good sword during the Yunshui Sword Pond Asking Swordsmanship, visit Qi Jia on the Jing Terrace, and try to find a way to steal a magic weapon. Get a Phoenix Blood Stone or get a good spiritual beast, anyway, just go all the way there.

In a place like Zhuoyan City for refining weapons, there are many natural treasures, and it is most likely to encounter good things. With Yun Zhengyang's "hard-working and thrifty" temperament, he must take good care of it to prevent the pearl from being dusted.

It's a pity that Yun Zhengyang has been wandering around for half a month without seeing anything. He finally found a valuable piece of ghost locust wood. Good guy, Zhongzhou Wolong's damn street stall was almost hacked.

Yun Zhengyang didn't know the details of the 'Zhongzhou Wolong', but they had no grievances or grudges against each other, and they couldn't fight under normal circumstances, so he didn't care about that person anymore and continued to pick up his own mistakes on the street.

But what Yun Zhengyang didn't expect was that the 'Zhongzhou Crouching Dragon' he met last night would actually meet him again today.

Yun Zhengyang was looking at the street stalls on the street when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure flashing in the distance.

He turned around and saw a young swordsman in green clothes walking across the street with a woman, frowning and saying something.

Yun Zhengyang looked a little confused, kept silent, and followed the two people to a secluded place. From a very far away place, he could distinguish the words of the two people through the shape of their mouths:

"...It's definitely right under the field. Judging from the feng shui direction, it's quite big..."

"...How can the two of us dig?..."

"...The manpower has been notified, and they will arrive in a few days; you pretend to buy elixirs these days, and observe the situation first. I must get this thing..."

…

After Yun Zhengyang eavesdropped for a while, his heart moved slightly:

Tianxia... Go buy elixirs...

There are many elixir shops in Zhuoyan City, and there are also quite a few spiritual fields, but it seems that the only shop and spiritual field together is the Shen Family Thatched Cottage...

There is something big buried under the field...

Yun Zhengyang's eyes showed a little luster when he thought of this.

Eavesdropping on information and stealing secretly is not in line with the style of a swordsman, but that doesn't mean he can't go over and take a look in advance.

If it was an immortal sword embryo, and it was destined to him and recognized him as the sword master, then it cannot be said that he had robbed it.

Immortal swords have spiritual wisdom, and they should belong to whomever they regard as masters. They cannot be used or stolen by others if they are snatched away.

The good thing that Zhongzhou Wolong treats so seriously might be an immortal sword...

Thinking of this, Yun Zhengyang did not hesitate, turned around and headed to the Shen family thatched cottage...
