Yang Zhen's original intention was to call Zixue alone, but she didn't have a sound transmission stone, so she had to convey it through Zhao Yue'er.
However, he was not much surprised when he saw the two women walking towards him.
Wherever you go, I will follow you. This is what the little girl wants!
Even though today was her first day as the Guanzhu, she didn't care at all.
Yang Zhen smiled and stepped forward to give the girl a tight hug.
Secretly sent a message to Zixue, asking her to protect Zhao Yue'er's safety.
Zixue rolled her eyes with disdain on her face.
On the other side, Zhang Qianfan and others were overjoyed when they saw this.
They have all experienced Zixue's abilities, but they never expected that she is actually in Wushan County!
Zhang Qianfan looked calm on the surface, but in fact his anxious and worried heart suddenly felt much more relaxed.
At this time, Yang Zhen also revealed her plan:
Pretending to be Chen Ru and Zhou's brother and sister, they followed Zhang Qianfan and sneaked into the Tongxin Association, waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble.
It just so happened that they were also a man and two women, which was perfect.
Zixue was doing everything, but Zhao Yue'er clapped her hands in agreement, which was quite amusing.
Just as they said, they found an inn in Fangshi and quickly completed their disguise.
Yang Zhen pretended to be Zhou Po, and Zixue and Zhao Yuer pretended to be Chen Ru and Zhou Qi respectively.
Impersonating a specific person is much more complicated than simply changing or concealing one's appearance. Fortunately, with the cooperation and comparison of the parties concerned, it is relatively smooth.
Especially for Zixue, she only needs to change her appearance slightly, and then cover it up with a scarf like Chen Ru usually does, and that's it.
The three members of Tongxinhui took down the tokens respectively, and they will stay in Wushan County and wait for news.
Yang Zhen and others continued to move forward.
Starting from the county town, the number of monks taking the teleportation array to the same place gradually increased, and there was no longer an hour of waiting for something to happen. The five people traveled all the way from Wushan to Zhoucheng, then took the interstate teleportation array from Chongzhou to Xiangzhou, and then went from Xiangzhou to Jinling County.
Almost an hour later, when they were heading from Jinling County to Huangmao County, it happened to be Haishi and they caught up with the last teleportation array of the day.
When she came out of the Huangmao County Teleport Hall, she was faced with waves of humid and sultry warm wind, which made Yang Zhen feel like she had returned to Guangdong in her previous life.
The people here also speak with local accents, which makes you feel like you are in a foreign country.
A tall, thin man with charred eyebrows came over.
"I've met Senior Brother Zhang." He saluted respectfully.
Then he greeted Yang Zhen and others, "Junior Brother Zhou", "Junior Sister Zhou", "Senior Sister Chen", etc. one by one.
Yang Zhen and others had all received instructions from the person involved, and according to their usual habits, they responded: "Hello, Senior Brother Zeng!"
This person's surname was informed by Zhang Qianfan through a temporary message.
Li Qing over there asked strangely: "Junior Brother Zeng, why are you here?"
"I came to the county town today to do some business. Seeing that it was getting late, I came here to try my luck to see if anyone would return home with me. I didn't expect that I was really lucky. I happened to bump into you, haha!"
Something didn't sound right when I heard this. The Disbanded Alliance must have been worried about Zhang Qianfan getting some reinforcements, so they kept this person under surveillance in the county.
At this time, the man named Zeng was also asking Yang Zhen:
"Junior brother Zhou, I heard that someone in Chongzhou offered generous terms to accept you. Why are you back today?"
Yang Zhen had been prepared for this, and said angrily:
"Senior Brother Zeng misunderstood. The master of the hall in Chongzhou is a complete villain. All he wants to keep is Senior Brother Zhang. He doesn't pay attention to monks like us who have average cultivation and no potential to tap. When I heard that Senior Brother Zhang was leaving today, his expression changed immediately and he didn't bother to pretend to deal with us anymore."
"The three of us thought it would be more reliable to follow Senior Brother Zhang. Wherever Senior Brother Zhang goes, we will go!"
"I see," Senior Brother Zeng laughed dryly: "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
Zhao Yue'er hid behind her and curled her lips secretly, suppressing a smile.
The man turned around and greeted her: "Junior sister Zhou, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you have suffered a lot."
Zhao Yue'er hummed softly, her voice thin and soft, just like Zhou Qi's usual appearance.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group left Fangshi and came to a flat land.
Zhang Qianfan raised his hand and pulled out a small boat three to four feet long.
This is his personal flying boat, a second-level low-grade one. The appearance is a bit old, but it has been maintained very carefully, and it can be seen that he cherishes it very much.
Senior Brother Zeng laughed loudly: "I'm lucky enough to be blessed by the Fourth Elder today, haha!"
Zhang Qianfan remained silent as the flying boat took off into the sky and flew towards the mountain ahead.
…
Xiangzhou is the southernmost state of Xu State, with Yuezhou, Yunzhou and Chongzhou to the east, north and west.
To the south is the vast jungle of the Southern Wilderness, where the Wu Clan rules.
Huangmao County in Jingling County is located in the southern section of Xiangzhou, and is close to the territory of the Wu tribe.
This place has high mountains and long roads, and is rich in a common plant called yellowgrass, which grows rapidly. In autumn, the mountains and plains are covered with these things.
Perhaps such a place is the living space that casual cultivators can find.
Along the way, Zhang Qianfan stood with his hands tied and said nothing, secretly transmitting messages to several people to introduce the local situation.
The place they are going to is called Maojiao Mountain, deep in the mountains. This name is not in the Huangmao County Chronicle, and was named by the members of the Tongxinhui themselves.
The so-called Maojiao refers to houses with thatch roofs and pepper mud-coated walls. The mountain is named after the Tongxin Association to commemorate the years when they managed this place through hard work and wind and rain.
The reason why we chose this place is because there is a second-order spiritual vein in the mountain.
Xu State, because of its vast land and rich resources, has many first-order spiritual veins of various grades in the remote mountains and remote areas. The sects will not take them all, but will let the casual cultivators compete with the monsters.
But the second-level spiritual vein is different. As long as it is discovered, even in the remote mountains and forests that are inaccessible, the sect will organize its forces to clear out an area suitable for human survival, and then entrust it to a certain family to allow it to thrive and strengthen the human race. .
It is not impossible that when the population reaches a certain level, towns or even counties will be established.
Therefore, there are very few second-level spiritual veins that can truly fall into the hands of casual cultivators.
However, after all, Xu State has a vast territory, so there will always be some omissions, and the spiritual veins that naturally progress from the first level to the second level are even more difficult to discover.
This is the case with the spiritual veins of Maojiao Mountain. In order to prevent the sect from discovering it, Tongxinhui also used various concealment methods. Not much to say.
This mountain is about four hundred miles away from the county seat. With the speed at which Zhang Qianfan can control the flying boat, it takes exactly one hour.
More than half an hour later, the flying boat entered a valley.
"In this valley, there is an observation point for our club hidden," Zhang Qianfan said. "If someone enters the mountain and is followed, he will often be exposed here."
"I just used my spiritual sense to sense it, and there is a brother from the club there. But like Junior Brother Zeng, he is also a member of the third elder. It seems that the third elder has most likely defected to the San Alliance."
"Fifty miles along this valley, we have another observation point, which is the second line of defense."
Yang Zhen was greatly impressed after hearing this. Although the Tongxinhui had a small number of people and average strength, these details were still done quite well.
However, despite such precautions, they were still attacked yesterday. It seemed that there was an inside job.
As for who this person is, it is almost obvious.
A quarter of an hour later, the flying boat passed the second observation point.
"There's no one here!" Zhang Qianfan suddenly said in surprise.
Following this exclamation, three people suddenly appeared in front of the valley.
