Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 71 Small Cloud and Mist Array
Yi Tianxing took the wooden sign and glanced at it to confirm his identity, and then returned it to him. He flipped it over in his left hand and took out a golden-yellow account book, and in his right hand he took out a mysterious black spirit pen. said.

"In the past few years, I have tried my best to distribute the work at hand, but unfortunately, the sect stipulates that the purchase and sale of more than a thousand spirit stones must be confirmed and recorded by the staff of the supervisor or above. It is really not a problem to feel at ease in this place. It's easy, come, you sign here and draw a bet."

Tang Ning took the account book, and saw it said: Dao Ji Ding Liu 1960 July [-]th, selling a set of Xiaoyunwuzhen, priced at [-] spirit stones.Buyer: Tang Ning, a disciple of Gan Yi Zong's herb department.

He signed and pressed his fingerprints on the wool roll as promised, and took out eleven middle-grade spirit stones and fifty low-grade spirit stones from the storage bag.

Yi Tianxing put away the spirit stone: "Junior Brother Tang, don't you need anything else anymore? It's bitterly cold in Jingbei! The aura is thin, and Junior Brother He Wen'an used to buy some pills from me before. Even with his aptitude and cultivation level, Tang Junior Brother, don’t be greedy for pleasure, we monks can still practice as masters, by the way, speaking of Junior Brother He, since you were transferred to Jingbei, where did Junior Brother He go?”

"Senior Brother Yi, don't you know? Junior Brother He Wenwen was killed a few months ago, so the sect transferred me to Jingbei," Tangning asked curiously.

Huangfenggu is the only formal market in the northern part of Chu State, where most of the cultivators’ transactions are conducted in the northern part of Chu State. As the actual power holder of one of the largest shops in this town, he must be well-informed, and this place is far from Jingbei. Not far, he didn't know about it.

Yi Tianxing was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Oh? There is such a thing, I really don't know, I have been concentrating on cultivation for the past few months, and the external affairs can be released, and the things in the store are left to the people below to manage them. I don't hear what's going on outside the window, I never thought that Junior Brother He is dead, I don't know who did it? Can Junior Brother Tang know?"

"Brother Yi, this is one of the tasks that the sect sent me to Jingbei to investigate the murder of Junior Brother He Wenwen. People from the Inspection Section have come to investigate before, but they have not found out who committed the crime. Junior Brother He is dead and no body is found. It is not known exactly when he was killed or where the incident occurred, so it is not easy to investigate."

"Does Junior Brother Tang have any eyebrows?"

"All the clues at present point to the Demon Sect, and it should be the work of the Demon Sect cultivator." Of course Tangning wouldn't tell him the truth.

"Hey! For some reason, the Demon Sect has suddenly had a revival over the years, and has repeatedly come out to make waves to snatch the cultivation resources. In the past few years, it was even more rampant, and Xuanmen disciples were often attacked. When it came to the news of the ravages of the Demon Sect, I didn't expect Junior Brother He to die at their hands." Yi Tianxing sighed.

"Speaking of, I met Junior Brother He once about half a year ago. He bought a lot of things in the store. I was wondering where he made his fortune. Now it seems that there must be something tricky in it. These things may be him. I don't know who was staring at it."

"Oh? What did Junior Brother He buy?" Tangning asked

"I can't remember exactly what it is. There are quite a few types. There are medicinal pills, magical instruments, and talismans. I bought more than [-] spiritual stones at one time."

half year ago?More than three thousand spirit stones?This may be something after He Wen'an blackmailed Xu's family, and the amount matches what was said in the note, that is to say, Xu's family gave the money and killed people after giving the money?
Are you afraid that He Wenshen will go back on his word and sue them?Or are they worried that they will continue to extort them in the future?Several thoughts flashed through Tangning's mind.

"I understand. This clue is very important. Thank you Senior Brother Yi. I'll take my leave first." After saying goodbye to Yi Tianxing, she left the Qianyizong shop. Tangning went to several other shops and found the items in the market. Prices are generally higher.

Take Wan Lingdan as an example, a bottle of Wan Lingdan on the market costs [-] spirit stones, and the price in several shops in Fangshi is as high as [-] spirit stones. Lingshi, the unit price is twelve spirit stones, and the price has increased by two tenths, which is simply terrifying.

The strange thing is that he found that even though the price is generally high, there are still many people who buy it. The people here seem to be good money makers, but they don't feel bad when they buy it knowing the price is unreasonable.

This kind of square market can actually survive, and it is very impressive. I have to say that this business alliance does have a set, monopolizing all business transactions, and the profit of a few square markets is astronomical.

As the sun set, Tangning walked out of the door of a shop, and after asking about the location of the management office, she came to the Fangshi management office. Zhao Bao was waiting for him at the door.

The two entered the hall. Inside, there were six management staff dressed in black. There was a golden bowl painted on the left shoulder and arm of their clothes, and the words Baoxing Chamber of Commerce were written on their chest. Tangning walked over to a woman and handed over the stone tablet. To her: "Let's return the stone."

The woman took the two stone tablets and glanced at them. She flipped the right hand and took out a golden account book. She looked at it and said, "According to the regulations, you need to hand in one spiritual stone every day to enter the market. You are here today. , hand in two spirit stones and you can go out."

Tangning took out two spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them to her. The woman took out a piece of paper: "Go out of the management office with this article and go east or west. Go to the guard office and hand in the article."

The two went to the guard office to submit the clauses. The guard office cultivator controlled the formation plate to dissolve a gap in the light curtain of the big formation. The two left the market and drove away with the magical instruments. It was late at night when they returned to Jingbei.

Taking advantage of the darkness, they set up the formation flags, built the formation altar, and built the center. After about two or three hours of work, the small cloud formation was ready. Tangning placed twenty-two spiritual stones in the center of the formation altar. Place the eight spirit stones in the grooves pre-set by the array flag, tap it on the array plate, and the array will be activated immediately.

The array flag absorbs the spiritual power in the spirit stone, changes slowly, and gradually rises against the wind. It stops changing after it rises to a height of about three feet in about half an hour. At this time, the array method begins to function, and a steady stream of clouds and mists flow from the central array altar. out, scattered around.

The formation method is a very advanced thing. Most people can't use it, not only because of its high price, but also because it is a consumable. In the case of Jingbei Mansion, thirty spirit stones can only be used for one month. This is to control the range of its display. The Jingbei Mansion covers an area of ​​only about three acres.

If the small cloud formation can cover ten acres of land, it will not be able to go down without consuming a hundred spirit stones in one month.Clouds and mist continued to pour out from the altar, and after a while, the entire Jingbei mansion was covered with a thin layer of cloud and mist. At this time, the sky was turning white, Tangning took out twenty spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them to Zhao Baodao: " Thank you for your hard work today, these spirit stones talk to you, don't say no."

"This, Tang Xianshi, this is the subordinate's responsibility. What is the hard work? Lingshi's subordinates will never dare to bear it." Zhao Bao quickly declined.

"Take it! Remember to warn the people in the mansion tomorrow not to let them touch those flag formation altars." Tangning shoved the spirit stone into his hand and went straight into the room.

For Zhao Baolingshi, I just think that he is a really good person. He works hard all day by his side without any resentment. He is a loyal person.As a subordinate, he is taciturn and never asks other questions, so he is obviously qualified.

In the early morning of the second day, the maids in the mansion shouted and scrambled to watch the vision. , Looking down from the top, Nuoda's mansion was completely obscured by clouds and mist.

Since returning to the mansion, Tangning has been locked out for several days, and moved from her original residence to the newly opened courtyard.

…………

Yuelong Inn, in the elegant high-class private room, He Yingqing took small steps back and forth, feeling a little anxious. Since the day he sent a maid to deliver a message to Tangning, he has been staying around the Jingbei mansion to observe secretly and never left. .

The trouble is big, and this matter is related to the rise and fall of the entire family and even the survival, so he couldn't help but deal with it with [-] points of energy.

At present, none of the core members of the entire family are in a hurry, including his father, although his face is calm, but inquiring about the news in the Jingbei mansion several times a day shows that his father is equally anxious, and they are all waiting for news from Gan Yizong.

This is a dangerous move, and it is also a killing move. If you fail, you will become a benevolent. If you can't get rid of the Xu family in one fell swoop, then the consequences can be imagined, and there is bound to be a life-and-death battle between the two.

He knew that the newly appointed Jingbei master had left the mansion for more than ten days a few days ago, and it was very likely that he had reported to Qian Yizong about Xu's family, but it had been so many days since he came back, why there was no movement at all, could it be something Something happened?
A few days ago, he saw a thick cloud and mist rising above the Jingbei mansion, and he thought it was a signal. Later, he learned that it was a formation. Today, the cloud and mist suddenly dissipated, and he couldn't help but wonder what happened inside.

It's not that he is a soldier, it's just that this time is too sensitive. Every move in the Jingbei Mansion affects the heart of the entire He family.

Not long after, a slender woman with a black gauze pushed the door and entered, it was the former servant girl of the He family.

"What's the matter? Why did the cloud and mist above your mansion suddenly dissipate, is there any new situation?" He Yingqing asked quickly
"Back to the second young master, the maid doesn't know about this, but the thick cloud and mist that got up early in the morning disappeared."

"Where's Immortal Master Tang! Have you seen him? Are there any strangers in his mansion?"

"I heard that Immortal Master Tang has been practicing behind closed doors in the newly opened courtyard these days. He has never come out to see guests, and his maid has never seen strangers."

"Then have there been any other changes in your mansion?"

"Change? No, oh, one thing, the flags of different colors around the house have been removed a few days ago."

"Suddenly removed the formation?" He Yingqing said to himself: "I see, you can go back! Pay more attention to the changes in the mansion during this time, and report to me immediately if there is anything."
