Unknowingly, Liu Yu had been staying at the Tianshi Guard for nearly half a year. After the regular meeting in the morning, the two defense teams left the guard to change their posts. Liu Yu was about to return to the barracks to continue practicing, but was stopped by the guards as they were leaving. Tuobayan stopped him.
"Uncle Master, what are your orders?" Liu Yu greeted hurriedly.
"Pindao will rush to Gaocang City today to collect the salary of the guard station for the past six months, which can be as short as ten days or as long as half a month. During the time that Pindao is away, please help Pindao keep an eye on it!" Tuoba Yan He took Liu Yu back to the barracks and spoke.
It turns out that every six months Tuoba Yan would go to the sect entrance of Gaocang City with Taoist Changshan, the master of Gaoyang Taoist Temple.
In addition to reporting on the current situation of Gaoyang City and the health center in the past six months, and receiving back the half-year salary of all disciples serving in the Tianshi Health Center and Gaoyang Taoist Temple, they also escorted the "Qingke Dan" produced by the Taoist Temple in the past six months to Gaocang City.
"During this period, Xuanyu will instruct the defense disciples to be more vigilant, and the disciples will also follow to patrol the ghost forest. Don't worry, uncle!" Liu Yu immediately replied.
"That's not necessary. This magical weapon is called the "Monitoring Pan", which is improved from the garrison pan in your hand. In addition to the function of the garrison pan, you can also use this instrument to monitor the movements of all ghost cultivator disciples in the forest."
"My nephew, it's best to take out this "Guard Plate" after a while and check it out. This matter is the top priority." Tuoba Yan took out a jade plate the size of a pot lid and said.
"Disciple understands!" Liu Yu nodded solemnly.
"How to use this device?" After taking the jade plate and taking a look, I saw that the jade plate is composed of an inner and outer plate. The outer plate is made of sapphire, with complex inscriptions engraved on it. Among them can be seen Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, According to the Bagua azimuth, the inner plate is made of white jade, as smooth as a mirror. There is a sliding copper wheel between the two plates. The copper wheel is inlaid with small copper grids. Liu Yu can't help but frown and ask.
"Pindao will teach you the method of controlling the restriction of this disk. Use magic power to activate this device, and the position and distance of the ghost cultivator disciples in the forest will be displayed on the inner disk, just like this..."
After saying that, Tuoba Yan typed out a decree, and saw a burst of gleaming light coming from the inner disk of the "Supervisor Disk". Rows of names were quickly and clearly listed on it. There were numbers after the names. It was thought that the disciples of ghost cultivators left this device. distance.
"This function can check the distance of all ghost cultivator disciples. If you want to specifically monitor a certain ghost cultivator disciple, you can turn the bronze grid with the name engraved on the copper wheel and turn this bronze grid to the top "Hand" , like this..." Tuobayan continued to demonstrate.
I saw that he first turned a copper grid with the word "Feng Yi" engraved on the copper wheel to directly above the jade plate, and then moved it upwards and stuck the copper grid into a blank groove above.
Then the information displayed on the inner disk immediately changed, from rows of names to a pointer compass pattern, with a white light needle pointing to the Gen Chou position, and the disk displayed:
Feng Yi (safety)
The direction of Gen Chou is two hundred and fifty-three miles.
"The safe distance is within three hundred miles of the Gen position. The light needle will turn yellow within four hundred miles. You need to be vigilant at this time, because according to the Ghost Forest area, it is close to the area under the jurisdiction of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley."
"The light needle turns red at five hundred miles. If you find it in an emergency, you need to rush to determine its specific movement. If it exceeds five hundred and fifty miles, the jade plate will automatically send out a warning signal." Tuoba Yan continued to introduce the "Supervisory Plate" usage.
"Except for Feng Yi, if there is a situation, you can invite Xu to go and check it out. If you find anyone absconding, kill them on the spot. But if Feng Yi is the one you cannot handle, you can directly activate this "spiritual word" Talisman, someone from the sect will take care of it." Tuoba Yan said, taking out three "Spirit Word Talismans" and handing them to Liu Yu.
"Uncle, don't worry, my disciple understands!" Liu Yu took the talisman and carefully put it into the storage bag.
"There is no need to worry too much. These ghost cultivators in the forest were all disciples of the sect when they were alive. They know their own situation and there are few who have different intentions."
"Pindao is going to Gaocang City. If my nephew needs anything, Pindao can take him with him. Any medicine, letters, etc. will be fine." Tuoba Yan saw Liu Yu frowning and looking cautious, so he spoke calmly.
"Xuan Yu has nothing to bring with him." Liu Yu shook his head and said. He came here to avoid the eyes and ears of interested people. It is not convenient to communicate with junior sister, Yue'er and the others for the time being.
Although the cultivation elixirs were almost exhausted, Liu Yu planned to make a trip to Gaocang City in person in a few days, because the Hundred Apricot Order in his hand could only be used if he was present.
"Oh! By the way, I would like to ask my uncle to hand over these twenty "Yin Wind Thorn" talismans to the sect to see how much the sect charges. If the price is right, I can draw these talismans when I have nothing to do on weekdays. , I can also make some money for medicine." Liu Yu suddenly remembered and immediately took out a small stack of talismans and said.
"Hey! This talisman can be filled, the talisman is arranged neatly, the veins are as coherent as heaven, the quality is of the highest quality, and it is a rare type of talisman on the market. My nephew's attainments in talismans are not low! Not bad! Not bad!" Tuobayan took a look at the talisman and couldn't help but admire it.
"Uncle Master, thank you!" Liu Yu replied with a chuckle.
…
"Boom, boom!" In a dark and narrow mine tunnel underground in the Ghost Forest, several miner disciples stood side by side, holding sledgehammers in both hands and slamming the hard stone wall on one side of the mine tunnel. The entire mine shook, and dozens of hammers Going down, the wall collapsed and rocks cracked, and a layer fell off the entire mine tunnel wall, causing thick fog and dust.
After the dust stones dispersed, a dozen miner disciples in groups of two immediately stepped forward and began to rummage through the collapsed piles of rocks to find raw Yinshi ore, a kind of pitch-black spar-like ore.
The large blocks in the piles of rocks are mostly grey-brown underground sesame rocks. Occasionally, a whole piece of black crystal ore can be found from the piles of rocks, or a piece the size of a fist, embedded in a large piece of thick rock.
These people found rock blocks inlaid with yinstone crystals from the pile of stones and threw them into the mine tunnel behind them. The other miner disciples who had been waiting for a long time immediately held mining tools such as large and small hammers, mining picks, shovels, and mining chisels. Break open these large and small rock blocks and separate large and small pieces of raw Yinshi ore.
Then some miner disciples moved the raw Yinstone ore onto the four-wheeled mine cart on the side. When it was full, they pushed the mine cart to the empty zero-hour ore storage point not far away, and cart after cart of Yinstone raw ore was unloaded here. place, and soon it was piled up into a small mine.
At this time, two miner disciples carried a "Linggai Ore Box" and cast a spell to activate the inscriptions on the Linggai Ore Box. The silver square ore box, which was originally less than three feet long and one foot high, shone with aura. Shen has turned into a tall silver box that is two feet long and half a foot high, like a wing room.
Then the two miner disciples began to put pieces of Yinshi raw ore of different sizes into the huge Linggai ore box. One person was outside and the other was inside. They stacked them neatly until the box was full, and then they went to bring another one. A magical mustard ore box.
The mining team with clear division of labor is mining ore in an orderly manner. They are near the Yin Vein. Such a big movement will attract many ghosts. However, when they get close, they are all repaired by Taoist Shangxu and a black-robed ghost floating in the air. , or drive them away, or kill them one by one.
"Looking at the days, Tai Xiong should go to Gao Cang City!" The black-robed ghost cultivator floated to Taoist Shangxu's side and asked in a hoarse tone.
"We left the day before yesterday!" Taoist Shangxu looked around cautiously. After seeing no one around, he nodded and replied. He was so sure because the mining team only went down the mine tunnel after Tuoba Yan left the guardhouse.
"As for the newcomer, what are his private actions?" The black-robed ghost cultivator then asked.
"I don't see anything unusual. He is usually very peaceful. Junshan didn't find out much about this person from his sect." Taoist Shangxu shook his head and said with a frown.
"In that case, there is no need to worry about him, let everything continue as usual!" the black-robed ghost cultivator said coldly.
"Senior Brother Qiuji, if you don't wait and see, if this person is really sent by the sect to investigate, it will be troublesome." Taoist Shangxu said hurriedly.
"If this person was sent by the sect, he should have taken action in private a long time ago. To say the least, we have always been secretive in our actions. Even if he was sent by the sect, I'm afraid he won't be able to find out anything." Taoist Qiuyoshi He said a little impatiently, because in the past six months, the "Two-legged Sheep" essence and blood and "Three Essence Pills" needed for cultivation have been consumed long ago, and he did not have time to spend it like this.
"Okay then!" Taoist Shangxu hesitated for a moment and nodded. He was practicing in the guard station and could only rely on the power of pills to improve his cultivation. He didn't have many spiritual stones on his body.
…
The captain of the mining team, Wei Hui, who was stacking raw Yinshi ore into the Linggai ore box, suddenly changed his expression and immediately looked up in the direction of Master Shangxu Taoist not far away.
Taoist Shangxu was also looking this way. Taoist Shangxu gave him a wink calmly. Wei Hui nodded knowingly, then lowered his head and continued loading the ore as if nothing had happened.
Soon after, the spirit mustard ore box was filled. Wei Hui stood up and walked to the side. The dozens of empty ore boxes stacked together did not move the top one. The man quickly pulled out a mine box at the bottom.
The styles of these mine boxes are the same, all provided by the sect, and each mine box is engraved with the secret seal of the Huang Sheng Sect. Although the appearance of the mine box that Wei Hui moved out is exactly the same as the other mine boxes, if you use the sect's secret method to explore it, , you will find that this mine box is not the property of Huang Shengzong.
…
Three days later, the miner disciples who had worked hard all day gathered in the temporary camp to rest. They sat around the campfire and ate the coarse grains, dried meat and other food they brought before going to the mine. Although it was not delicious, everyone was already hungry after working for a day. , they all kept their heads down and ate fiercely.
As for the place where the Linggai ore boxes were stacked, Wei Hui and the few miner disciples who were close to him on weekdays were guarding the place. They were talking and laughing together.
Just behind these people, a Lingkai Ore Box filled with ores on the top floor floated automatically, as if a pair of invisible hands were holding it up, and disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.
However, Wei Hui and others were not aware of this at all, or in other words, they were already aware of it, and no one looked behind them.
If Liu Yu were here, he would definitely be able to see something fishy by using his "psychic eye". It was the ghost Xiu Qiuji who used his soul body to approach invisibly, and then used his soul energy to cover the entire Lingjie Mine Box. Also invisible, he used this to secretly move the Lingkai mine box away.
