Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 413 Borrowing a knife to kill someone ([-])
The man with the leopard head and ape arms said: "I suspect it may be the work of a Taoist monk. With Zhang Qian's cultivation, how could he disappear and be killed for no reason. Besides, he is quite tactful, and he didn't offend anyone too much."

"The Lu family sought him out to retrieve their imprisoned son, Lu Tianming, and he has disappeared since then."

"In less than ten days, the Han family gambling house was robbed. Is there any connection between the two?"

Zhang Zifeng said: "You mean? The murder and disappearance of Zhang Qian and the affairs of the Han family were all done by Taoist monks?"

The man said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. I guess that some Taoist disciples may have sneaked in. First Tong Quan'an's letter was seized by us, and then Zhang Qian was killed, and someone made trouble in the Han family's gambling house. It took only a month before and after. Brother, do you think this is a coincidence?"

Zhang Zifeng nodded slightly: "Immediately tell everyone to secretly investigate the strange monks who have infiltrated recently. If you can kill Junior Brother Zhang Qian silently, your cultivation level must not be low. Mainly pay attention to the strange Foundation Establishment monks. Once you find them, immediately monitor them. "

The man said: "What should we do with Zheng Wei? Should we arrest him directly? His recent whereabouts are mysterious. I suspect that he secretly met with the infiltrating Taoist disciples."

Zhang Zifeng said: "Don't worry, if he really meets with Taoist disciples, we can follow the clues and take them down."

"Hu Xufan is still influential in the original corpse puppet sect. I'm afraid he won't give up if we only lock up his apprentice based on these imaginary speculations."

"I have already reported this matter to the master, and the old man also means the same thing. He wants us to act cautiously and not act rashly without evidence."

The leopard-headed man said: "If he leaves the sect next time, do we need to send someone to follow him?"

"Let Junior Brother Wu follow from afar, and don't be discovered."

"it is good."

.....................

Zheng Wei returned to Xushu Mountain, studied the yellow cloth atlas in the cave day and night, but still found nothing.After another twenty days, he lost his temper and left the sect again.

After traveling for more than a day, I came to Mingxia Mountain and entered the cave.

Tangning was sitting cross-legged on the futon, when she saw him coming, she quickly stood up and saluted, "Senior is here."

Zheng Wei frowned, and said impatiently, "Has your master not returned yet?"

"Yes, this is a common occurrence, seniors don't need to be impatient."

"Are you not aware of your master's movements at all?"

Tangning shook her head, "Our casual cultivators have always made our homes all over the world and have no fixed place to live. Even this cave has been opened up in recent years as a temporary residence. After a few years, we may go to another place."

Zheng Wei didn't say any more, but his face was not very good-looking, frowning, and he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Tangning retreated voluntarily and gave him the main room.

Three days later, Zheng Wei couldn't bear it any longer, left the cave, threw a pill to Tangning, and told him to notify him as soon as his master came back.

After all, it turned into a light and went away.

Tangning returned to the cave, shrank her body, and fled into the ground.

After a long time, a figure slowly appeared between the rock walls, it was a man with a broad forehead and a broad face.

After the man appeared, he came to the cave with a flash of light, his consciousness was far away, but he didn't find anyone, the whole cave was empty, he frowned, thought for a long time, and searched carefully every place in the cave.

He lurked into the stone wall again and stayed for a whole day, but found nothing, so he left the cave and disappeared.

Not long after the man escaped, a figure slowly appeared outside the cave. Tangning looked in the direction of his escape, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

His spiritual sense has long been aware of his hidden figure, but he just pretended not to know it. After Zheng Wei left, he returned to the cave and fled away.

The person monitoring Zheng Wei must be someone from the Mozong's monitoring team. If he can't find anyone here, he will definitely report back to the Mozong.Next time I will definitely want to get my own stolen goods.

Not far to Tangning's left, Jiang Yuhuan's figure slowly appeared, "Aren't you going to make a move?"

"It's not yet time, wait a little longer. The main target hasn't appeared yet."

"What if they arrested him for interrogation directly inside?"

Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Hu Xufan is still able to talk in the Demon Sect. I don't think they will be so Meng Lang and easily arrest his disciples. Just because he went out to meet an unknown person in secret, in exchange for Ordinary disciples may be able to directly classify it as a detailed work, but with his identity, the evidence is obviously not enough."

"In the past few days, we have to be careful. Since the Phantom Sect monitoring team knows the meeting place, they are likely to come here and wait for the rabbit. They want to arrest us first, and then arrest Zheng Wei."

………………

On Xushu Mountain, outside Zhang Zifeng's cave, a ray of light fell, revealing the figure of a man with a broad forehead and broad face. With a wave of his hand, the talisman was pushed into the dense fog, and soon, the dense fog cleared a passage.

The man went straight in and came to the main room of the cave mansion. Jishou said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I have a clue. I followed them to the meeting place."

Zhang Zifeng's expression changed: "Tell me specifically what's going on?"

"They met in a mountain range at the junction of Qinchuan and Beiyuan, and there was a cave in between. After Zheng Wei entered, he stayed for three full days before leaving. Outside the cave, there was a Qi Refining cultivator guarding him. I was afraid of being discovered. Didn't dare to get too close."

Zhang Zifeng said: "Stayed for three days? Who is he meeting with, have you found out?"

The man said: "After Zheng Wei left, I didn't see anyone from the cave outside, so I ventured inside and saw that there was no one there, including the qi refining disciple guarding the outside. After entering the cave, there was no one there. Inexplicably disappeared."

"At first I thought there were secret passages hidden in the cave, but I searched inside and out for a long time, but I didn't find any secret passages. So I lurked in the cave again, waiting for the rabbit, and waited for a whole day, but no one came. I'm afraid something will change later, so hurry back."

Zhang Zifeng frowned: "There is no one in the cave? They won't have found you!"

The man said: "I don't know, this is exactly what I'm worried about. If they found me, why didn't they just take me down? Zheng Wei dared to come back, wouldn't he be courting death? If he didn't find me, why would the cave be empty? No one, really weird."

Zhang Zifeng fell silent, frowning in thought.

"Senior Brother Zhang, why don't you arrest Zheng Wei first and interrogate him?"

Zhang Zifeng shook his head: "The clues we have now alone are not enough to convict him, but will scare the snake away. He can quibble, just say that he met a friend. The important thing is that the contact person who will meet with him Catch it. Do you think the person meeting him will be Tong Quan'an?"

The man said: "I'm afraid this is unlikely! If Tong Quan'an came in person, I would not be able to come back. Brother Zhang, if you have any concerns, you just need to send someone to investigate. Tong Quan'an is in Yingxia Mountain Camp, look at his behavior. Have you been out for a few days?"

Zhang Zifeng said: "Let's do this! You and Junior Brother Zhou take people to the place where they meet and set up an ambush to see if you can catch the person who met him. Be careful, don't be discovered, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted."

"I know." The man withdrew from his cave, and after a while, a group of people quietly left Xushu Mountain and headed north.

After walking for more than a day, when they came to the top of Mingxia Mountain, the man surnamed Wu made a gesture, and several people fell in all directions, surrounding the entire cave.

The man surnamed Wu and the man surnamed Zhou went into the room and searched, but found no clues.

The man surnamed Zhou said: "Let's lie in ambush around here, and when this person returns, we will take him down in one fell swoop."

The man surnamed Wu said: "He can disappear from this cave, there must be something strange about it. Brother Zhou, you stay in ambush, and I will hide in this cave. I want to see how he left. If you listen If there is a strange noise in the cave, act immediately."

"Okay. The man surnamed Zhou responded, left the cave, discussed with several outsiders, and hid one after another.

A few kilometers away from the cave, under an old locust tree with a crooked neck, Tangning emerged from the ground. Fortunately, he was well prepared, expecting that the Demon Sect's surveillance team might come here and wait to arrest him.

Therefore, I have been hiding outside the cave and observing the movement from a distance, otherwise it is very likely that I was surrounded by them just now.If they are detected by their spiritual sense, it will be too late to escape!
There are quite a few people from Mozong this time. There are five foundation-establishment monks. Except for one person who is in the late foundation-establishment stage, the other four are all in the middle-stage foundation-establishment practice.

Jiang Yuhuan's figure slowly emerged: "The entire cave is under surveillance, what should we do next?"

"It's almost time. We can't wait any longer. If we drag it on, we will show our weakness. When Zheng Wei arrives, we will start as planned. It's a pity that the main target has not yet appeared." Tangning felt helpless, and she It has already been done for this sake, this Zheng Wei should be a sure-fire secret work in their monitoring team!

But Zhang Zifeng didn't come out of Xushu Mountain, so he only sent a group of disciples to investigate. He hid in the base camp of the Demon Sect and remotely controlled it. .

But the matter is already on the verge of death, and it has to be done.

The next time Zheng Wei comes here, if he doesn't meet with him, Zheng Wei will have doubts, and the whole plan may change drastically.

Once I meet with him, the disciples of the monitoring team lurking around will do it.

Right now, he can only hope that Zhang Zifeng will follow Zheng Wei all the way out of Xushu Mountain, otherwise his plan will only be half completed.

...............

On Xushu Mountain, inside Zhang Zifeng's cave, a man came to his main room, Jishou saluted: "Brother Zhang, the insider news has arrived, Tong Quan'an has stayed in Yingxia Mountain Camp these days, and has never come out."

Zhang Zifeng nodded and said: "That's good, as long as Tong Quan'an doesn't come in person, there must be something to gain from Junior Brother Zhou. How is Zheng Wei's place? Is there any movement?"

"After he came back, he has been in the cave."

"Well, continue to monitor him, and let me know if there is any movement."

"Yes." The man replied.

Nearly one month later, Zheng Wei came out of Xushu Mountain's great array, and went straight for a day. After walking for a day, he came to Mingxia Mountain Cave Mansion, and went inside.
