Volume 2 Chapter 178 Anzi and Xianxia Mountain

"No. Now it's not like a few years ago. Several major forces have already paid attention to us. If there are more loose cultivators missing, I'm afraid it will really arouse their vigilance. I still use my name to recruit a group of people. Loose cultivators enter the palace, and then let them disappear without knowing it." The tall black shadow shook his head and said.

"Since there is a more secure way, I naturally don't care about it. By the way, there is no problem with the court. How can I hear the wind, some Jinling-level guest officials seem to have begun to track our affairs." The last one The shadow, after nodding, asked solemnly.

"Jin Ling-level guest ministers, this is really troublesome. Once these imperial court guests move one of them, it is almost like provoking the entire hornet's nest. And these guys say that they are imperial court guests, but it is true that they belong to the current royal family. But it is true. If someone in the royal family really noticed us, I wouldn't have gotten wind of it. Now it should be just the private actions of these guests. Well, I'll go back and find someone else to talk about it. Before that, don't provoke it The royal family is different from the five great sects that are thousands of miles away. If they knew what we were planning, they would probably take action immediately, and they would not be very happy to replace us. Moreover, with the strength of the royal family of the Great Xuan Kingdom, I am afraid it would be early. I quietly cultivated my own spiritual masters, but I didn't dare to let them show their faces." Tall Black Shadow said.

"What, the royal family already has a spiritual master, but what news have you heard?" The second black shadow seemed to be taken aback when he heard the words.

"I don't have definite evidence for this, it's just speculation." The tall black shadow shook his head and said.

"Even if it's true, these royal family spiritualists are not to be afraid of, otherwise as long as they show their deeds in front of others, I am afraid that the first of the five major sects will destroy the entire royal family. Well, I will let my subordinates avoid it as much as possible. These Jin Ling Keqings are all. Fortunately, as long as you endure this half a year, everything will be over." The last black shadow said with a sneer after being silent for a while.

"Well, we can only do this first." The second black shadow said with a sigh.

So for the rest of the time, the three of them gathered and talked for a while before they got up and left the hall.

...

When Liu Ming returned to Xuanjing, it was already afternoon.

At this time, he had transformed into a middle-aged Taoist priest with three long beards, walking slowly on a seemingly lively street in Xuanjing.

Suddenly, he moved and turned into a seemingly ordinary alley next to him.

This hutong is not long, but there are seven or eight shops with various signs on both sides.

After Liu Ming walked a few steps, he stopped in front of a coffin shop with white flags hanging, and walked in calmly.

"Guest officer, do you want to order a coffin?"

A middle-aged man with the appearance of a hunchback was painting a brand new coffin with black paint when he saw Liu Ming walk in, and when he was about to put the things in his hand, he walked over and asked with a light cough.

Liu Ming glanced at the hunchback in front of him, but without saying a word, he took out a silver shiny token from his sleeve and swung it in front of him.

The hunchback, who was originally calm, suddenly changed his face when he saw this token, and after a sudden sway of his body, he quickly closed the store door.

He then flashed back to Liu Ming again, and took out a black iron card from his body.

Looking at the size and style, except for the color, it looks very similar to the silver medal in Liu Ming's hand.

Liu Ming's brows twitched, his wrists flicked, and he threw the silver medal over.

Camel see this,

He also solemnly threw out the black iron card.

As soon as Liu Ming grabbed the iron plate, he just glanced at it lightly, and poured some mana into it.

Immediately after the black pattern on the iron plate flashed, several strange black runes appeared on it.

After Liu Ming saw these runes clearly, he nodded and collected the mana. After the black iron card's aura was restrained, it returned to normal.

At this time, the hunchman took out a small bottle, poured out an unknown liquid and smeared it on the silver medal. After looking carefully at the thing in his hand for a while, he threw the silver medal back with great relief.

"The identity of the messenger is correct. As a backup shadow, I thought that I would never contact people in the sect again in my life."

"I'm a new supervisor in Xuanjing, do you know about the disappearance of this sect's supervisor.

"Liu Ming also returned the black iron card to the other party, and asked with the same expression.

"Why do you need to use words to try again, my lord! As a secret son of the sect, my original mana has been abolished, and I usually don't inquire about anything at all, and I don't contact any spiritual disciples. I just live in Xuanjing as an ordinary person. The only use is to provide a channel for people like the adults to contact the sect at critical times. Since the adults have found me, it seems that the contact channel on the bright side should not exist." Camel said slowly.

"Very well, you are very upholding your duty. Otherwise, I am afraid that you would not have survived until now. Liu Ming did not get angry when he heard this, but nodded in approval.

"Lord messenger, come with me. You can contact the magic circle in the sect, which is buried deep in the ground. I go down to check every other year, but the last time I used it was 20 years ago." Said with a deep breath.

Liu Ming nodded and followed him to the back of the store.

After passing through a small courtyard, they entered a seemingly ordinary wing.

This room is not large, except for a bed, a table and two chairs, there is no furniture.

Huozi walked to the bed in a few steps, and suddenly pulled a certain mechanism under the bed with both hands.

Immediately, there was a "crack" sound in the wooden bed, and it opened slowly from the middle, which was divided into two parts, revealing a dark hole and a simple stone staircase leading straight down.

Huozi took out a fire fold from his waist, and after swaying in the wind, Jing ignited himself out of thin air, and walked down the stairs.

After Liu Ming's expression changed slightly, he followed closely.

Not long after the two walked in, the wooden bed that had been separated heard the sound of turning off again, and it closed again on its own.

After walking down about thirty feet, Liu Ming and the two finally came to a huge underground stone house.

In this stone house, which is only a dozen feet in size, there is a huge magic circle arranged on the ground, and white spar that has been placed in the grooves at the edge are all inserted.

In the center of the circle, there is a round stone platform with a height of about 1 zhang, with countless spiritual patterns printed on the surface, and it is also a small circle.

"This is the communication circle.

Even if they are so far apart, it is enough to send the information back to the sect in an instant, but the space spar it consumes is also very amazing. If conditions permit, the message should be as brief as possible. How to use it, the messenger must have already learned it, so I won't say more. "Huanzi said standing outside the circle.

"Well, I did see some usage methods when I came here." Liu Ming looked at Shitai, frowned slightly, and slowly replied.

"Since this is the case, I will go outside to guard first. After the messenger is finished, I will come up by myself. Don't worry about the fluctuations of this magic circle being discovered. This stone house is made of special materials, which is enough to absorb all fluctuations. ." Camel nodded and said, and then went back to the stone steps on his own.

Liu Ming circled the circle for a few laps, and then slapped a slap with one hand, and several green lights shot out, disappearing into the circle in a flash.

In an instant, the entire magic formation started buzzing loudly, and the surrounding spiritual patterns were shining brightly...

An hour later, Liu Ming left the coffin shop again, walked out of the alley calmly, and reappeared on the street.

The rest of the time, he just wandered the nearby streets.

When it was getting dark, he entered a remote alley again, but when he came out from the other end, he turned back into the appearance of a twenty-seven or eight-year-old Confucian scholar, and walked slowly towards the Qian residence.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Ming, who had rested for a night, left the back door of the Qian Mansion again.

This time, he directly recruited a carriage on the street, and after giving instructions to the driver, he went straight to Xianxia Mountain.

Xianxia Mountain is different from other hills outside Xuanjing. Xuanjing itself has some buildings built on the mountain, and the entire Xianxia Mountain is also owned by the imperial court. Not only are the brigade of imperial soldiers stationed on the mountain all the year round, but also some vitality. The thickest areas were directly assigned to those Jinling-level guest ministers who belonged to the imperial court.

The so-called Dongfu that can be rented to the outside world is actually just the place with the worst vitality on Xianxia Mountain.

That's it, the rental fee of these cave houses is also surprisingly expensive, enough to make the general casual cultivator a pain in the ass. Therefore, this kind of rental business is not very good, and there are not many loose cultivators living on Xianxia Mountain.

When Liu Ming was standing in a hall on Xianxia Mountain and asked to rent a middle-grade cave for a long time, a middle-aged steward who was in charge of the matter stood in front of him and couldn't help smiling.

He immediately unfolded a landscape map in front of Liu Ming with the locations of various cave houses, and let him choose all the optional cave houses by himself.

Liu Ming looked at the map and casually asked about places of interest. After nodding or shaking his head, he finally picked a cave in a remote location with a small river flowing right in front of the door.

Under the leadership of the steward, he personally went to the cave to check it out. After feeling quite satisfied, he paid the rental fee of thousands of spirit stones for one year on the spot, and obtained the entrance order of the cave from the cheerful steward. Card.

Almost all of these caves have some simple magic formations. If there is no token, it will alarm the patrolling guards on the mountain. Therefore, compared to other places, this Xianxia Mountain is still a very stable place.

Liu Ming, who left Xianxia Mountain, did not return to Qianfu immediately, and continued to wander around Xuanjing for most of the day.

In the evening, when he returned to the Qian Mansion, there was someone waiting there.
