It was noon, on a mountain top, Qian Chao was unfolding a map on a tree stump and looking at it carefully.
There were also various kinds of food on the tree stump. Tang Pingzheng looked at Lu Pingchuan with a strange look and asked: "Brother Lu, yesterday you said that you felt sick all over when you smelled alcohol, and you felt nauseated. Why did you drink so much alcohol just now? !”
Lu Pingchuan didn't look embarrassed at all, he chuckled and said, "Hey, hey, sister Tang, you don't know, my problem will be cured if I sleep!"
The others were made to laugh by Lu Pingchuan.
When Tang Ping saw Qian Chao looking at the map seriously, he asked: "Hey, Mr. Qian, where should we go to find some good things this time?"
Qian Chao clicked on the map with his finger and said, "There is a cave that seems to lead down to an earthly spiritual vein. Do we want to go take a look?"
After hearing this, Tang Ping asked: "Earth Spirit Vein, do you want to look for the spirit stone vein?"
When Lu Pingchuan heard this, he immediately became energetic and asked, "Can we really find the spirit stone vein?"
"That would be too difficult," Qian Chao spread out the map and showed it to several companions, "but if that cave can really be connected to the earth's spiritual veins, then there must be a lot of good things in the cave."
"Well, let's go take a look."
After the discussion, a few people tidied up a little, and then Qian Chao led the way and set off in the direction of the cave.
…
Just when Qian Chao and others were excitedly going to hunt for treasure in the cave, they were in another mountain outside the sect.
There are also five people, four girls and one boy. All of these four girls are beautiful, dignified, and graceful. The most eye-catching one is actually a head full of snow-white hair, and her appearance is also ranked first among the four girls. She is none other than Miss Yan Shuang who caused a shock when she entered the sect a few days ago.
But at this time, the faces of these five people were a little alert, as if there was some danger approaching quietly around them.
Yan Shuang sighed and said apologetically: "Guys, those people should be here for me. It seems that I am the one who caused the trouble today."
The only man among the five was Luo Bin. He didn't look around, but he was paying attention to what was going on around him. Hearing what Yan Shuang said, he smiled and replied:
"Miss Yan Shuang, there is no need to say that. Those people may not dare to take action. In my opinion, they are just keeping a close eye on us, or they are looking for opportunities, or they are waiting for someone, and then they will deal with us."
Luo Ying said softly: "There is more than one group of people following us, and they all seem to have discovered each other and deliberately kept a distance. Miss Yan, it seems that those people must kill you to feel at ease." .”
Wenyuan said: "How about..." She shut up mid-sentence.
Lu Shuang said: "Don't worry too much. Even if we have to call for reinforcements, we have to lure them all out. Those people can still calm down now, so we are not in a hurry."
…
In the nearby mountains, there were three people dressed as Five Spirits Sect who were carefully hiding in the forest. While carefully watching the movements of the four women and one man, they also stared uneasily at the opposite mountain forest.
"Who are those people?" someone said.
"I don't know. Should we get closer and take a look?"
"No, those people have also discovered us. They are also alert and have been avoiding us..."
"Senior Brother Wen said that the purpose of our coming here is not to deal with Yan Shuang and the others, but to see who will take action against Yan Shuang. It doesn't make sense to follow them like this. Those people have been hiding far away. How can we follow them when we go back? Brother Wen, please give me an explanation?"
"How about this? I'll take a long drive around and go behind them to take a look. Don't worry, I'm pretty fast. As long as I can identify who those people are, I'll come back. How about that?"
"Isn't it a bit risky? And I'm worried that it might be a trap set by those guys in the sect..."
…
At the same time, these people were also hiding in the forest opposite the three people. They followed Yan Shuang and the five people without missing a trace, while carefully observing the movements of the three people opposite.
Although these people are also dressed as disciples of the Five Spirits Sect, their complexions and temperaments are completely different from ordinary disciples in the sect.
Among these people, there were both men and women, old, middle-aged and young. They all looked cautious and prudent, but the fierceness in their eyes was something you would never see in the eyes of ordinary disciples.
One of them, a slightly obese and obscene middle-aged man, stared greedily at Yan Shuang and the others below, especially Yan Shuang, who couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips, revealing two rows of fine lips in his mouth. Teeth, suddenly he whispered:
"Oh, it would be a pity if those four girls were killed like this!"
As soon as he said this, a dark and thin middle-aged woman beside him didn't like hearing it. She glared at the middle-aged man sideways and snorted coldly.
Then a young man with a handsome but somewhat pale complexion followed the middle-aged man's gaze and looked at Yan Shuang and others who seemed to be unaware, and then said softly:
"This is not an ordinary place, and they are not the daughters of those small aristocratic families. Don't cause too much trouble. As agreed, we will kill the people and leave immediately with the spirit stones to avoid any accidents!"
The young man spoke with a cold tone, and seemed to be the leader among these people, but the middle-aged man did not seem to buy his account.
"It's hard to come in once. Wouldn't it be a pity to just leave after finishing your work? You have to have a little fun, so that you can talk about it with others when you go out."
When the young man heard this, his face suddenly became cold, but after all, this was not the place for dispute. He immediately sneered behind the middle-aged man and said:
"If we fight alone, you may not be the opponent of any one of them. Those five people are considered famous in the Five Spirits Sect, and their methods are naturally good. I think you'd better not think about it."
The middle-aged man didn't speak anymore. It seemed that he had listened to the young man's words, but that was not the case. He sneered in his heart and secretly thought, "How can I let you know all my methods? I always have a few tricks at the bottom of the box to deal with in the future." You are!
The dark and thin woman said at this time:
"I've been following you for so long, when are you going to do it?"
The young man said: "We won't make the first move. Let's wait. Someone will make the first move. When they succeed, once those five people are dead, we will kill them all, including those on the opposite side."
"But...even if the mantis stalks the cicada, let's be like the oriole, but will there be any hawks waiting for us later?" The thin black woman said with some worry.
The young man said: "You are worrying too much. I have made arrangements in Ruixuan Town. If they dare to do this, the arrangements I made in advance will be enough to expose them to the Five Spirit Sect."
But in the young man's heart, he sneered: What a joke, if this is done, of course none of you can stay, hum!
These people are the so-called casual cultivators!
…
"Hey, Mr. Qian!" Tang Ping looked in front of her in confusion. Not only was she confused, but the other people were also a little confused about what they saw in front of them. "What kind of cave is this? This is obviously a ruins!"
After nearly an hour, the five people were led by Qian Chao to a place, which was at the foot of a big mountain. However, after landing here, it was obvious that there were still some crumbling ruins. , the layout of a large manor could still be vaguely discerned, so a few people became curious.
"That's right," Qian Chao said with a smile, "This is indeed a ruins, and I found it from the book that Senior Sister Luo gave me."
When Tang Ping heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. Among the ruins that started the last money wave, the harvest of the five people was not small. This time it is a ruin again. If good things can be found again, wouldn't it be another time? It’s going to be a great harvest!
"Isn't that..."
Seeing Tang Ping's excitement, Qian Chao couldn't help but smile and said:
"Don't be too happy. This relic is indeed in the book, but Senior Sister Luo also said in the book that she has already opened it, and the good things in it are definitely gone."
"Then what are we going to do!" Tang Ping said frustrated.
"Didn't I say, come here to find a cave. That cave is likely to be connected to this earthly spiritual vein. That cave..."
Yanxuan heard some clues and said, "Is it possible that the cave was the place where the treasure was hidden before?"
"Absolutely," Qian Chao said, "Senior Sister Luo did say in the book that the treasure trove was very secret. After opening it, there was the sound of flowing water behind the treasure trove, and there seemed to be an underground river adjacent to it. However, Senior Sister Luo and her group I only took the treasure inside and didn’t delve into other places.”
"Then you are sure that there are caves and earthly spiritual veins here?" Tang Ping asked.
"Well, the reason why Senior Sister Luo was able to find this place, I guess she referenced many ancient books and documents in the library to determine the location and then found this place. However, she still remembers what I drew on the map. The direction of those spiritual veins?"
Several companions naturally remembered that on the map drawn by Qian Chao himself, he had indeed drawn the directions of the main spiritual veins outside the sect, and as the number of trips out increased, the large and small spiritual veins that were later added to the map More and more.
"Remember, why, is there an earthly spiritual vein underneath here?"
"Yes," Qian Chao said, "If Senior Sister Luo and the others knew that the place where the treasure was hidden was close to an earthly spiritual vein, they would have explored it anyway. But if they didn't, wouldn't it be equivalent to leaving behind a lot of treasure?" Are there many good things waiting for us to get?"
After saying this, several people understood it. Lu Pingchuan was happy and said:
"Hey, what are we waiting for? Brother Qian, hurry up and find the entrance to the cave!"
"Come with me." Qian Chao said, and his body slowly flew into the ruins of the ruins.
On top of a patch of weeds and shrubs, Qian Chao searched carefully for a while, then raised his hand and pointed, saying, "It's right there." Then he flew over.
The terrain where he landed was obviously higher, and there were a lot less weeds. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a stone platform, but it was more like the remaining ground of a room, and the room seemed to be quite big. After the tide went down, he used his "Blue Eyes Technique". He stared at the ground with flashing blue light in his eyes for a while, then asked the person standing in the middle of the stone platform to hide to the side, and then used different techniques at the four corners of the stone platform. The hand technique was used to drive a ball of white light into the ground. This was actually not difficult. In the book Luo Ying gave him, it was written in detail how to activate this formation. Qian Chao just followed it.
The stone platform shook slightly, and then with a faint sound, the center position began to collapse, and a dark passage downward appeared. Qian Chao threw a piece of talisman paper as soon as he saw it. Among them, as the talisman emitting soft yellow light slowly entered along the passage, the people above could clearly see how deep the passage was.
"I'll go down first," Qian Chao said. "There must be nothing inside, but the entrance to the cave should be down there."
As he said that, Qian Chao walked in, and the other people followed him when they saw him.
After walking down for a long time, he came to the secret room. Qian Chao took out a few more talismans, and then the entire secret room was illuminated.
"Good boy," Lu Pingchuan looked up and down, "It's really quite big down here. Hey, what a pity. If we could have found it first, I don't know how many good things we could have found here!"
Tang Ping also said: "It's really not small. I don't know what was in it before. Humph, I really took advantage of that guy Luo Ying!"
After Li Jian came down, he first confirmed that there was no danger in this lost place. However, although it was empty, he did not find any entrance to the cave, so he stood there and watched what Qian Chao should do.
"Listen," Qian Chao said. He also put his ear close to the stone wall on one side of the secret room. "There is the sound of running water on the other side."
When several people saw it, they all came over. Sure enough, after getting close to the stone wall, they heard the faint sound of gurgling water coming from the other side of the stone wall.
After appraising the depth of the secret room, Tang Ping said, "Boy Qian, is the underground river on the other side of the wall?"
"Yes," Qian Chao nodded. He patted the stone wall and felt its thickness.
"Then how do we get there?" Tang Ping asked.
"Brother Lu," Qian Chao said and patted the stone wall, "Can you make a hole with your fist here?"
"Yeah," Lu Pingchuan came over, patted the stone wall hard with his hand, and said, "No problem."
"Okay, let's stand a little further away, and then Brother Lu, you can make a hole in this stone wall."
"good!"
When Lu Pingchuan saw that his companions were all standing far away, he took a breath and punched the stone wall with one punch.
…
There was a "boom"!
Suddenly there was a fire explosion in the mountain forest, and then several figures flew up hurriedly from the place where the fire was shining. However, those few people had just reached the treetops when several whistling cold lights followed behind them. After passing through the body, screams were heard in the distance, and those people fell limply and fell from the air, followed by the whistling sound of the spirit sword piercing the air, the roar of monster beasts, the sound of wind and fire, People's exclamations, screams, and curses immediately broke out!
Yan Shuang, Luo Ying and others looked at the mountain forest not far away with some surprise. The five of them were already prepared for a fierce fight today, but after waiting for so long, no one came to attack them. Why are they there? Instead, did you take action first?
"Who is fighting there?" Wenyuan frowned and looked at the bustling mountain forest. She thought that maybe the sect had sent someone to protect the girl Yan Shuang. They followed secretly and discovered the danger lurking there. , and attacked the opponent.
"The people ambushing there are probably coming for us, but those who sneak up on them may not necessarily be friends rather than enemies." Luo Bin stared there and said.
Lu Shuang said: "In my opinion, it's more than just a group of people who are plotting against us now. We might as well leave now. There are still eyes around here watching us. We might as well mobilize them. Take them around and let them bump into each other, maybe it will be more lively."
Luo Ying said: "Sixth Sister's method is good, Miss Yan, what do you think?"
Yan Shuang withdrew her gaze, glanced at the nearby mountains and forests, and said, "Senior Sister Lu's method makes sense. If possible, it is best if we can tease them into fighting each other. That is the best for us."
"Then let's go!"
The figures of the five people immediately flew away in a direction away from the lively place!
