According to Wu Tian's understanding, one day of training in the "Gravel Kingdom", a secret realm of Wushuang Sect, is enough to last a month, and it can accommodate dozens of people practicing together at the same time.
But this is not the case here in Qingtian Lei Mansion. Once there are too many people, the fragments of the Earth Avenue are consumed rapidly, and it is easy to break the cycle here.
Mu Puppet estimates that a maximum of three people is the limit.
Sitting on such a treasure land, Wu Tian basically entered it at night to understand the path of earth. Even though his spiritual talent was not top-notch, he could still feel the slowly rising enlightenment.
This is different from swallowing the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit and forcibly improving. Wu Tian is now moving forward step by step. When he breaks through to the middle stage, he has learned several earth spells, but they are not very powerful and have never had the chance to use them.
This time, Wu Tian did not immediately enter a meditative state, but was thinking about what to do next.
At this time, he already knew why there were so few monks in Mao County now, and they were all taken to a place by the Mao family to mine.
According to what the poor guy said, there was a hidden canyon covered by mist. Everywhere you could see were the corpses of various monsters. The strange thing was that their corpses did not rot all year round. The number was staggering. Even if they were called It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a pit for all beasts.
Their task is to continuously dig up the corpses of these monsters in the canyon, and take out their useful parts and monster elixirs one by one. Everyone is paid, and can occasionally return to Maoxian County for repairs, but they cannot leave this place, and they are not allowed to leave this place. information to others.
Wu Tian was puzzled. Logically speaking, this was nothing. So many corpses of monsters and beasts were all spirit stones. It was understandable for the Mao family to do this. Besides, they also paid for it. But the casual cultivator said in horror: "No, none of us want to stay in that ghost place anymore. You don't know, weird things often happen there, and every time they appear, many people's lives are taken away."
According to what he said, the canyon was so big that nearly 100,000 immortal cultivators from Maoxian County entered it, but tens of thousands of people died because of this strange thing.
The people of the Mao family couldn't solve it, or didn't want to solve it at all. They just kept forcing them to dig deeper into the canyon.
It is for this reason that every casual cultivator who enters is afraid, fearing that he will be the next to die.
Mysterious Canyon?
A pit of beasts?
Wu Tian rubbed his chin and thought, what on earth is the Mao family doing?
Is it for the spirit stone?
No, Wu Tian shook his head. Since the mission issued by the Wushuang Sect has confirmed that the Mao family colluded with the Yao clan, it means that it is already a certainty. And he and Bai Lin, no, Bai Lin, a pig teammate, do not count, and what he has to do is to find The evidence brings it to light.
Based on this analysis, there must be a connection between the Mao family, the canyon, and the Yao clan, and it is obvious that the canyon is the center of gravity.
To put it simply, if the Mao family is mining now, they are betraying the human race. As long as he determines the motive and purpose of the Mao family, half of the investigation will be completed. Then as long as he finds evidence, it will be completed.
This is not easy to handle. After all, you are doing a task under the eyes of an immortal, and the reward is only twenty exchange points.
Damn Bai Lin, he refused to accept so many tasks and insisted on accepting this difficult task.
Wu Tian cursed a few words, and then suddenly thought that this guy was caught so quickly. Did he also find something? He guessed that the canyon was the key point, so he chose to go into danger alone.
fart.
Immediately, Wu Tian sneered. That guy had such IQ and courage. He, Wu, wrote the three characters backwards.
The next day, on a busy street, two Mao family servants started talking while staring at the people passing by.
"Hey, next month it will be my turn to go to that damn place again. I wonder if we can come back alive this time?"
"It's hard to say,"
The tall and thin companion also had a frown on his face, "Last time, the terrifying monster killed more than a dozen people. I was lucky enough to escape because I ran fast. It is said that it is now close to the depths of the canyon, and weird things happen almost every night."
While the two were talking, a white-haired old man slowly walked past them with his hands behind his back.
"What does this smell like..."
The tall and thin man suddenly smelled a strange musky scent on the tip of his nose. Before he could finish speaking, he felt dizzy.
So does the other person.
Before they fell, the old man supported one of them with one hand and walked out while shaking his head.
"I told you to take a good rest but you didn't listen. You must be tired now."
Some people around noticed this scene, but as they were just ordinary people, how dare they cause trouble, so they hurriedly walked away.
After reaching a quiet place, Wu Tian threw them into the Qingtian Lei Mansion and quickly left the place.
Fortunately, there is a branch of Wangchuan Auction House here, and the Mao family did not dare to attack them. After paying a higher price than usual, Wu Tian quickly obtained some ecstasy potions and charmed these two souls. Of course the guys in the first and mid-term are not a problem.
Soon after, the two woke up from a coma and found themselves in a wasteland.
They were shocked at first, and when they saw the old man sitting in front of them, they couldn't help but sternly said in accordance with their previous habits: "How outrageous, do you know where this place is and who we are, how dare you attack us, if you know what we are doing..."
Before he could finish speaking, the impatient Wu Tian moved his hands directly.
He is an expert in the interrogation business and has been doing it for a long time.
The screams started quickly. Fortunately, this place was in a remote place, otherwise someone would have discovered it long ago.
In less than thirty seconds, the guy whose limbs were removed was like mud and fell into a pool of blood, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"My time is valuable, tell me."
Just when he was trembling with fear, the old man's voice suddenly came to his ears. He cried and said: "Senior, if you want to ask anything, just ask."
"Uh, didn't I just ask?"
Hearing this, the tall and thin man roared in his heart.
Didn't you ask yourself, don't you have some idea in your heart? When you wake up, you beat someone like this without saying a word, and you don't say what you want. Didn't we agree to it?
Of course, he only said this in his heart. He wouldn't dare to say it to his face even if he had the guts to do so. The companion next to him who was used to talking loudly was the best negative example.
"very good,"
Wu Tian was very satisfied. Killing a chicken to scare a monkey also depends on the temperature. Now it is just right. The monkey is very obedient.
"Tell me everything about that canyon. Don't try to hide it. I'll find your companion later. If you don't get along, you'll know the consequences."
"Yes Yes Yes,"
The tall and thin man spoke quickly, "That happened in May last year..."
Listening to his narration, Wu Tian's brows gradually wrinkled.
According to what the other party said, the Mao family started digging into the valley last year. At first, thousands of their Mao family's followers dug secretly. Later, they found that the speed was too slow, and then they decided to start digging in Mao County.
But it was only the Chao Ling first stage and the Void Return stage, and they were too strong to be able to suppress them.
And their followers were transformed from coolies into caretakers.
They would chat together when they had nothing to do. At first, everyone thought that their master planned to dig up the corpses of monsters here and sell them for money, but gradually they discovered that this was not the case.
The tall and thin man recalled: "The deputy city lord seemed to be looking for something. It was hidden in the canyon. He became even more anxious during this period."
Wu Tian's eyes lit up when he heard this.
It's a pity that this guy's status is too low and he doesn't know what Mao Lian is looking for.
At this time, Wu Tian remembered something, and then asked: "What are the strange things mentioned in the canyon?"
Hearing this, the tall and thin man showed a hint of fear and said: "Monsters, they are monsters composed of the corpses of various monsters. They are invulnerable and extremely powerful."
"There are also ghosts. They have no bodies and are very similar to the evil spirits of the Ghost Controller. They are also good at spiritual attacks."
"Every time they appeared, they would cause massacres. In one case, hundreds of people died. In the end, it was the deputy city lord who personally took action to kill them."
It seemed that the canyon was not a good place either. Wu Tian frowned slightly.
All the clues point there, and nothing can be found in Mao County.
Of course, there must be something fishy in the City Lord's Mansion, but Maolian Mountain is there, and if there is any trouble, he will definitely not be able to escape his consciousness, and there is no doubt that he will go there to investigate and die.
In addition, there is another very important point. He killed the opponent's grandson. Looking at his posture, once the incident comes to light, even his status as a disciple of the Wushuang Sect may not be able to save him.
While Wu Tian was thinking, his expression suddenly changed, and in the midst of lightning, he finally chose to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
After a few breaths, a burst of hearty laughter came, and a burly man pushed the door open with several people. The exposed muscles were covered with slowly squirming magic lines, making it even more ferocious. .
"Old guy, you don't even look at where this place is, and you dare to attack people from my Mao family? You must be tired of living."
"Young Master, save me, save me." The tall and thin man cried with joy and hurriedly asked for help.
The white-haired old man, Wu Tian, raised his head and looked at the visitor. Before coming here, he had read the information and knew that Mao Lianqiu had three children. The eldest, Mao Gonghuan, was an early eighth-level demon slayer. Yingying is a demon hunter in the early stage of Nascent Soul. As for the third child, she travels abroad all year round and her strength and realm are unknown.
So, the guy in front of me is Mao Gongzhen?
Wu Tian looked up at him and said with a faint smile: "Your Excellency, you are joking. I happened to pass through your city a few days ago, but you have been monitoring me and you can't even leave the city."
"What do you think? As long as you are willing to let me out of the city today, I can compensate this young man."
"Haha, the person who hit me still wants to leave. You think so."
Mao Gongyan sneered, then rolled his eyes and asked: "Old guy, are you an immortal cultivator? What spiritual root did you awaken?"
"Tululinggen."
Digging up bodies? Naturally, those who cultivate immortality with earth spirit roots are better at it. Wu Tian had a vague guess in his heart, and he was not slow to answer.
"very good."
Mao Gongzhen showed a hint of joy and said: "Well, as long as you are willing to follow me to help somewhere, forget about today's matter."
"this,,,"
Wu Tian showed hesitation appropriately, "How long will it take? I still have some matters to deal with outside."
