Chapter 31: The Eve of the Storm
Jiuhe City is located in the east of Moqiu, adjacent to the border, with roads extending in all directions, and has always been a battleground for soldiers.
However, this kind of soldier must fight for the concept of limited to mortals, in the eyes of the immortals, the terrain here is open, the aura is thin, and the harsh environment is lacking, so it does not produce any natural treasures, and there is no immortal mountain to entrench, so it does not have much significance, so although it is a big city, it is only a mortal town, and the small land in the eyes of the immortals is not as valuable as Moyun City.
Despite this, Jiuhe City is located on the main road, and it is close to the border, so there are many trade contacts with other places, so the market is quite okay, and there are some cultivators who come here every year to seek pills and medicines, so sometimes there will be some good pills, which can be regarded as a place with little value but occasional surprises.
The Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Dan was obviously the surprise this time.
Standing in front of the gate of Jiuhe City, Tang Zheng, who had turned into a black-faced man, was being interrogated.
Due to the recent Tang Tribulation, the inventory in Moqiu is now tight.
It's a pity that this kind of inventory intensity is equal to no Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng can't be caught, but a lot of small fish and shrimp are caught.
There are two cultivators who are good at insight at the head of Jiuhe City patrolling, but unfortunately the level of Jiuhe City is low in the eyes of the immortals, and the strength of these two cultivators is also average, the aura swept over Tang Zheng's body, but nothing appeared, and the two soldiers under the city gate let him enter the industry after inspecting Tang Zheng.
After entering the city, Liu Laosi, who was following behind Tang Zheng, hurried two steps and said: "I still feel ......"
"Shhhhhhhhhhhh
Liu Laosi was so distracted that he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
The two walked all the way, and after a while, Tang Zheng said, "You can speak." ”
Liu Laosi hurriedly said: "I still think this thing is too dangerous, I think it is a bureau set up by the Heavenly God Palace, and the trap is set up to lure you to make a move, so as to capture you." ”
Tang Zai smiled: "I know, but the layout has to be baited, so this Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Dan should really exist." ”
"So what?" Liu Laosi was anxious: "You are looking for death, do you know that there may be countless monks hiding in the city waiting for you at this time?"
Tang Zheng replied slowly: "The premise is that they recognize me." Since I want to set up an ambush, then I have to lower the other party's precautionary heart and do the thing of inviting the king into the urn, otherwise if I see that I can't do anything, what should I do if I abandon and leave? There won't be any means of seeing through my illusions here, at least until the auction begins...... There won't be. ”
"I see. Liu Laosi understood what Tang Zheng meant: "But what if the auction starts?"
"That's the time for each other. Tang Zai replied: "Don't worry, if it can't be violated, I won't force it." ”
"I'm afraid that people will die for money, and birds will die for food!" Liu Laosi paused, he didn't feel the comfort of Tang Zheng at all, he didn't come here thousands of miles away, he didn't believe that Tang Zheng would really give up.
Hearing Liu Laosi's words, Tang Zai laughed, and he had already found an inn to live in.
There are still three days before the auction starts, and in these three days, Tang Zheng still has a lot to do.
Next, Tang Zheng wandered around the city and spent a day turning around Jiuhe City.
It's familiarizing himself with the terrain and preparing for what he's going to do next.
A day later, Tang Zai returned to the room and said, "Yiyi." ”
The little girl jumped out, her little hand raised, and countless plants in the room grew out of thin air, intertwined, and a hut had been born in the open space in the room, which was the prototype of Jiuhe City.
This hand is quite similar to the boss of the twelve eagles, through the means of guò Yi to make zuò jade flower palace to make a topographic sand table, Tang Zheng gave it a good name: green jade sand table.
Compared to the Twelve Eagles' fantasy map, the biggest problem with the green jade sand table is that it cannot be saved, and its simulation ability depends entirely on Yiyi's memory ability. Once time passes, Yi Yi forgets about it, and it is impossible to reproduce it. In contrast, the map spell of the Twelve Eagle Bosses was permanently solidified and not forgotten.
Because of this, there are also many inaccuracies in the sand table made by Yiyi at this moment.
Fortunately, there is still Tang Zheng.
His memory ability is much stronger than Yiyi's, and at this moment, his hands are like scissors, and after some pruning, a more accurate sand table in Jiuhe City is finally completed.
Looking at the green jade sand table in Jiuhe City, Tang Zheng painted his hands virtually, and one after another spiritual energy extended out and landed on the sand table, but a formation was quickly arranged.
Soul Array.
This was the first magic circle that Xu Muyang taught him back then.
This array is used to detect the movement of the surrounding heaven and earth spirits, but it can also be used to detect cultivators. It is as strong as a relief, the power of the Purple Mansion, after all, he still couldn't hide from a junior of Xu Muyang, and he couldn't avoid a small array of spirit measurement that didn't even need materials, it can be seen that the way of heaven and earth, the realm is by no means the only one.
For Tang Zheng, the auction three days later is indispensable.
Until then, all he has to do is understand who and how many of his opponents are.
It is said that they want to show their talents at the beginning of the auction, but in fact, before that, all kinds of invisible battles have begun in advance.
The battle between cultivators is not only a contest of minds, but also a contest of spells, and many good methods and ideas are sometimes not as good as a good spell.
The first is the contest between reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance spells.
When the Heavenly Shrine was still looking at Tang Zheng and wanted to find out Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng carefully avoided the other party's search, and on the other hand, he began to look for the opponent.
The Side Spirit Array and the Green Jade Sand Table were the means he chose.
When the two are combined, a circle whose main purpose is to detect cultivators is officially completed.
Different from the soul detection array of Tang Zhengbu back then, Tang Zhengbu's magic array is much more vast now, and its grandeur and majesty are not much worse than those of Xumuyang.
With the flickering of the array, the spiritual light flashed, and all kinds of different colors of light appeared in the sand table spirit array, each bright spot represented a cultivator in the corresponding position in the city, and the different colors of the light represented the difference in strength.
The biggest advantage of using the Soul Detection Array to probe a cultivator is that it is not easy to be covered, and the disadvantage is that it can only distinguish between strong and weak, but not between good and evil.
The aura that flashed in the formation did not tell Tang Tribulation, which highlights were the reinforcements sent by the Heavenly God Palace to hunt down and which were not, but Tang Tribulation had his own way to distinguish them.
"My realm of detachment from the peak of the world should have been exposed, below the same realm, basically I will not be sent to kill me, even if most of it is a matter of running errands before and after the saddle. Tang Zheng whispered, and with a wave of his hand, all the bright spots in the sand table that showed that his strength was below the peak of the mortal were extinguished by him, and the remaining spiritual light in the array was much less.
"Some important places need to be guarded by cultivators, and these places are not suitable for outsiders to approach, let alone hidden places, so places like teleportation arrays and warehouses can also be removed. Tang Zheng muttered to himself, and quickly pointed out and clicked a few times in the teleportation array, warehouse, etc., and some bright spots were eliminated again.
"Since they were sent to arrest me, it should naturally be a group of people, organized and ordered, and they should act in unison, so they should be concentrated together, and those scattered ones can also be ignored. With a wave of Tang Zhai's hand, some bright spots were eliminated.
At this time, above the green jade sand table, there were only two places with piles of bright spots.
One of them has about seven or eight bright spots, and the other has about twenty or more, the former is relatively average in strength, judging from its light, it is almost the strength of the peak of the extraordinary, and the other pile is uneven, there is a spiritual ring period, there is a peak, and there are even nine turns, because the highlights are gathered together, so Tang Zheng did not remove those low-level ones.
"Twelve Eagle ......" looked at these two piles of bright spots, Tang Zheng suddenly muttered, and his eyes finally fell on the place where there were more than twenty bright spots.
If the expectation is correct, the people really sent by the Heavenly God Palace to deal with him should be this group of people. These more than 20 highlights, excluding the characters below Tianxin, there are twelve in the Spirit Ring Period alone, and there are also two Heart Demon Periods, with such a lineup to deal with him Tang Tribulation, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to it.
As for why there is no soul transformation, Tang Zheng is estimated to be related to the gambling contract. For the Heavenly God Palace, it is enough to catch the Tang Tribulation, and it is enough to have a demon period, and it doesn't matter whether to send a soul or not, the important thing is that it can be used to further humiliate Xiao Beihan.
It is true that there are two cultivators in the Heart Demon Period, plus that bunch of Spirit Ring Period, Tang Zheng plus the body plus the Ghost Guard cannot be opponents, and it doesn't matter whether there is a soul or not.
However, this is from the perspective of confrontation, and outside of the confrontation perspective, many powerful search spells still require a strong monk to perform, and in this case, there will still be many troubles without a soul monk.
From this point of view, the way of thinking of the Tenjin Palace in considering the problem is still limited to "confrontation".
This may also be a common problem among cultivators in this era, the so-called having enough strength means having a qiē.
The bright spot on the sand table is located in the west of the city, Tang Zheng took a closer look and confirmed that it should be in a house on Baishui Street, but because the combination of the sand table and the spirit measuring array is not perfect enough, it is inevitable that there will be errors, and the specific address cannot be determined.
Despite this, Tang Zheng was sure enough to find an opponent.
At this time, if he suddenly threw a bunch of Heavenly Evil Thunder Beads into it......
As a result, Tang Zheng is cool to think about, and it is estimated that except for the two heart demon periods, few of them can survive.
It's a pity that even if he really does this, he may not be able to win the two heart demon periods, and if he fights together, even if he is not a cultivator sent by the Heavenly God Palace to hunt him down, once he sees Tang Zheng, most of them will come up to make a move, and the most important thing is that the auction will definitely be yellow because of this, and his ultimate goal will still not be achieved.
Tang Zheng could only extinguish this thought, touched his chin, looked at the pile of bright spots on the sand table, and fell into a long thought.
―――――――――――――
Just when Tang Zheng was thinking, in a house on Whitewater Street.
This is an extremely spacious courtyard house.
In the north of the courtyard is the house, and the two Heart Demon Realm cultivators are sitting up in the room, closing their eyes and recuperating, and there are two people beside them, but they are two disciples of the Nine Rotation Period.
To the west of the courtyard is the residence of the Twelve Eagles, twelve people living in the same room, but it is quiet and peaceful, with only occasional low voices.
The house in the east of the courtyard is much more lively.
There were five other spiritual ring stage cultivators living here, and one of them was a woman.
At this moment, a bearded black-faced man was pacing angrily in the room, and said loudly: "The Twelve Eagles of the Straight Lady Thief, it's been five days, and I can't go out yet, I'm about to suffocate Lao Tzu." ”
The twelve eagles on the other side knew this person's temperament for a long time, and no one paid attention to him.
The black-faced man saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he continued to scold, and his voice alone was worthy of the words of everyone here.
When the scolding was really excessive, the two Heart Demon cultivators in the North House would cough lightly, so the black-faced man would stop for a while, and then scold again after a while.
So repeatedly, everyone was speechless.
It was the order of the Twelve Eagle Bosses to close the door, and the reason was very simple, to avoid alarming Tang Tribulation.
However, it may not be difficult for others to stay closed, that is, to sit for a few days, but it is a kind of torture for the black-faced man. This person's name is Heisha, his real name is no longer available, and it was not like this in his early years, but he was accidentally possessed by the demon when he hit the heart demon realm, although he escaped his life, but he also broke his mood because of this, and since then he has been restless and unable to sit for a long time.
When the palace sent him, it was because after this person entered the body, although his mood was destroyed, and he could no longer advance an inch, he also had no intention of mastering a spell, thunder flash, he could make his body as fast as thunder in a short period of time, and he would come and go with the thunder flash, and he would be extremely fast and aggressive, and he was the most conducive to capturing and escaping opponents.
I didn't expect that when I got here, the first thing I did was to keep him out.
After holding it in the house for five days, he was already depressed and restless, so he must have been drinking and scolding incessantly every day.
I had the heart to let him go out for a walk, but when I thought about his temperament, I was afraid that something would happen after I went out, and if he alarmed Tang Zheng, it would be bad, so I could only ask him to bear with it.
He endures in this room, and others endure him.
shouted at this moment, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he finally couldn't help but say: "Lao Tzu doesn't care, no one wants to stop Lao Tzu today, Lao Tzu must go out and find a girl to have a good show!"
As he spoke, he strode out the door.
Seeing this, the twelve eagle bosses suddenly raised their heads, appeared at the door in a flash, and blocked the way of the black evil: "Heisha, wait a little longer, there are still two days before the auction starts, and at this time Tang Zheng may have already come, so he will hide in the dark." If you go out now, I'm afraid he'll find out. ”
"What if he notices it? Even if he sees Lao Tzu, how can he be sure that Lao Tzu is from the Heavenly God Palace? Even if he is sure that Lao Tzu is from the Heavenly God Palace, how can he know that Lao Tzu is here to arrest him? Even if he knows that he is here to arrest him, is there any other cultivator in Moqiu who does not want to arrest him? What does this have to do with the arrangement at the auction?"
This person spoke really loudly, and even the "arrangement at the auction" was buzzing out, if Tang Zheng was standing on the street at this time, he could know that there was something at the auction without checking, and the angry eagle almost didn't vomit blood, and shouted: "Shut up! Do you still want to shout to the whole city?"
Heisha also knew that he had made a mistake, and he stagnated for a while, and finally said helplessly: "Aren't I also complaining, I'm really suffocating." ”
"If you're suffocated, go ahead. A voice rang out suddenly.
Everyone turned back in amazement, and there was no one in the place.
Eagle frowned and said, "Little Twelve, what are you talking about?"
Clear words came from the air: "It's better to be sparse than blocked, the black nature is like this, it's not good to sit for a long time, and it will become a disease for a long time, but it's a bad thing, let him go out for a walk, go to the kiln, and vent the anger in his heart, it's not good at the beginning, and Tang Zheng won't go to the kiln." ”
Hei Sha's eyes lit up: "It turned out to be Twelve Lang, haha, thank you Twelve Lang for speaking for me, I have heard for a long time that Twelve Lang is young and extraordinary, he was selected into the Eagle Hall at the beginning of that year, and he was selected into the Twelve Eagles as soon as he entered the ninth turn, and he is really a handsome and extraordinary character." ”
He couldn't even see the other party's face, so he praised the other party for being handsome and extraordinary, and slapped the sycophants of the nine-turn boy as a real person, which shows that he has been ruthless enough in the past few days.
The eagle over there had already frowned: "I know that the black evil is here, and the possibility of hitting the Tang Tribulation is very small, but everything needs to be precautionary." Tang Zheng is here, it is impossible to have no doubts in his heart, any wind and grass may let him escape, in order to catch this person, my Heavenly God Palace has worked hard, at the critical moment, I can't make a mistake!"
"This is precisely to prevent mistakes, there are still two days to go, boss, are you sure that the black demon can get through it? What if he really goes crazy and fights at that time? Then something really happened. Let him go this time, and he should be able to stop for the next two days. ”
Hei Sha nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, let me go out and live happily for a day, no, just one night." After a happy night, nothing is left. ”
The eagle lowered his head in thought.
The twelve eagles who couldn't be seen over there had already said, "If you don't feel at ease, I'll accompany him." ”
"You?" the eagle looked up, his eyes were like electricity, as if he could penetrate the darkness and see through the existence hidden in the darkness.
"Yes, I will accompany him, if he dares to make trouble and ruin our plans...... And I slaughtered him. ”
These twelve eagles turned nine times and said that they had killed a real person with a spirit ring, but their tone was extremely flat, and the most rare thing was that none of the people who were listening to it, including the two real people with demons, thought that this was an exaggeration.
The Eagle Boss nodded slightly.
He said, "Okay, you go with him, and I'll hand it over to you as soon as I get it." ”
