Chapter 68: Zero Carp Garden
a day later.
Wolftail City.
On an enlarged map of the western region of Zhongling, Lu Qingshan circled a location in the east corner.
"This is..." Mo Yan calmly moved his gaze to the point circled by Lu Qingshan, then frowned slightly, "This is a spirit beast garden in Huanlingzong earlier, named Thousand Carp Court.
However, due to the inexplicable exhaustion of the local spiritual veins, the Thousand Carp Garden was abandoned. "
The conditions required for raising spirit beasts are extremely harsh and complicated.
In addition to strict requirements on geographical environment, food and breeding methods, the most important condition is aura.
Without sufficient aura, it would be difficult for spirit beasts to grow up smoothly.
Therefore, spirit beast gardens are generally built on spirit veins.
It is perfectly normal for the spiritual vein to be exhausted and the spirit beast garden to be abandoned, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"So..." Lu Qingshan nodded thoughtfully, and then said softly: "The black-robed monk who fled, finally returned to this Thousand Carp Garden, and then never never left."
"So, Brother Qing Shan, what you mean is that this Thousand Carp Garden is one of the places where the demons are stationed behind us?" Mo Yan said.
"If there is no accident, it should be." A cold light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
Letting the tiger go back to the mountain is just to find the tiger's den, so that he can take care of it.
"Then when are we going to leave?" Mo Yan pondered for a moment, and then said: "The evacuation work of the fourteen cities in the area we are in charge of has not yet been completed..."
Their primary task is to ensure the smooth progress of the evacuation work.
And this Thousand Carp Garden is millions of miles away from them. Once they choose to go to Thousand Carp Garden to go straight to the Yellow Nest, these fourteen cities will inevitably be left uninspected.
If the demons attacked the fourteen city flying boat again at this time, wouldn't it be a big mistake.
Lu Qingshan also knew the importance of it, but...
"The mark I placed on the black-robed monk can only last for three days."
The evacuation mission cannot be delayed, and the duration of the imprint is also limited.
This is the biggest problem.
"They traveled millions of miles to come here just to attack Jianping City. Obviously, the purpose cannot be just to interfere with the evacuation of Jianping City, otherwise this move would be too meaningless."
"Moreover, those who attacked our human flying boat and interfered with the evacuation were all low-level demon cultivators of the demon race, but this time the black-robed monks are Huanling sect monks."
"The monks of Huanlingzong have a high status among the demons. They should all be on the front line at this moment. How could some Huanlingzong demon cultivators gather in an abandoned spirit beast garden a million miles away from the frontline? "
"There must be some plan behind this matter that we don't know about..." Lu Qingshan sorted it out seriously.
Mo Yan nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.
"Since this is the case, this matter cannot be delayed without delay," Lu Qingshan said decisively, "I will immediately summon a group of monks from other places to take over our inspection mission, and then we will go to this Thousand Carp Garden to find out."
Lu Qingshan was very thoughtful, if he waited until the evacuation of the human race was over, and then went to Qianliyuan to find out, it would be too late.
Among them, it is possible that the demons have already changed their base, and by then no one can be found. It is also possible that the demons' plan has been successfully completed, and it is already too late to find anyone.
This matter is expensive and fast!
With Lu Qingshan's status at this time, it is not a big deal to temporarily transfer one or two monks to take over his task.
So after a few hours, the monks who took over their tasks arrived.
But it was not a group of monks who came, but four groups.
In the patrol area of the Fourteenth City, apart from him, Lu Qingshan, other monks want to make a round, and there are no three or four groups, which really can't do it.
Now that the person taking over has arrived, and in Lu Qingshan's mind, the imprint branded on the black-robed monk still has no intention of moving,
Without further ado, he and Mo Yan immediately set off for Qianli Garden.
.........
The location of Thousand Carp Garden is extremely far from Langwei City. The black-robed monk can cross such a long distance in one day, obviously with the help of the teleportation array.
It is also impossible for Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan to rely on escapism to get on the road, most of the journey is to use the method of teleportation.
At this time, Zhongling's teleportation circle had already been requisitioned to transport supplies and manpower to the front line. The monks could still use the teleportation circle to travel, but the teleportation fee was five times higher than normal.
One is to use a high enough price to dissuade those monks who do not need to use the teleportation circle, and leave most of the transport capacity to the frontline battlefield; the other is that various resources are extremely scarce during wartime, and they can earn a little from the teleportation circle It would be nice to fill in the gap a little bit.
After Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan came out of the teleportation circle in Liyu City, there was no teleportation circle for the last part of the journey, and they could only rely on their own feet.
During the flight, no one came to make trouble.
Even during this period of time, there are many evil cultivators taking advantage of the chaos in the area of Zhongling.
But whether it is the speed of Lu Qingshan's escape, or the powerful aura revealed in it, it undoubtedly shows that this is a hard stubble, and people dare not think too much about it.
It was several hours later.
On the far land, a sparkling river came into view, boundless.
Thousand Carp Garden, here we come.
At this point, it is no longer appropriate to fly swaggeringly.
No matter how exquisite Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan's evasion techniques are, they will never be able to do so quietly.
Not to mention that the imprint branded on the black-robed cultivator is nearby, that is to say, there may be a large number of demon cultivators hidden here.
The Thousand Carp Garden has been abandoned for a long time, the spiritual veins have been exhausted, and the inspiration is extremely ordinary.
Dozens of buildings have been dilapidated, but you can vaguely see the original atmosphere, if not even the floor tiles have been lifted——In the early days of desertion, some scavengers who wanted to pick up cheap things thought that there might be some good things left here , dug this place thoroughly.
After all, for Huanlingzong and other big sects, they don't like things that they are too lazy to take away, and for casual cultivators, they are often invaluable.
Needless to say, some casual cultivators found some good things in the Thousand Carp Garden and made a small fortune.
As soon as the news came out, those casual cultivators were like a group of hungry dogs who smelled meat, they dug up the area three feet, and cleaned it up.
If it weren't for the position shown by the Immortal Peach Blossom Mark here, it would be hard for Lu Qingshan to imagine that this would be a base for demon cultivators.
The two approached the long-abandoned spirit beast garden, and immediately Lu Qingshan frowned.
Because, the point shown by the imprint is right in front of him, and it already overlaps with his position.
But the scene in front of him was clear at a glance, except for a dozen dilapidated buildings for the disciples of Huan Lingzong who raised spirit beasts, there was nothing, not to mention people, not even a hair.
"Brother Lu, are you sure you're really here?" Mo Yan couldn't help but wonder.
"It's here." Lu Qingshan nodded, and at the same time let go of his consciousness, and looked around.
He didn't dare to be careless, every hall, wing room, even the lairs built for monsters were spared, and he even lowered his consciousness to the ground to ensure that there was no dark room underground.
Seeing this, Mo Yan also let go of his spiritual sense and investigated carefully.
After several hours like this, Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Nothing was found, no trace of demons, no secret room, no secret formation, not even the slightest trace of anyone moving here." Mo Yan said.
Lu Qingshan sighed.
In fact, when he saw this place, he had already expected it, and guessed it would be this result.
"Do you need to check the surrounding areas as well?" Mo Yan asked.
But Lu Qingshan shook his head, and said in a clear voice: "No need, since I didn't find it, then the monk Huanling probably saw through the mark I left and found a way to break it. This place is obviously just a cover."
Mo Yan remained silent, still thinking about other possibilities, but seeing that Lu Qingshan had already stood up and left with his sword, giving up searching, he could only follow silently.
He didn't notice that before leaving, Lu Qingshan quietly left something behind.
To be precise, it is a sword.
Dragonfinch.
"Yitian, I will leave this place to you." Lu Qingshan whispered to Qin Yitian in his mind.
"Don't worry, son." Qin Yitian said softly.
.........
Within an unknowable hidden area of Thousand Carp Garden.
Here, there is a gathering of rich spiritual energy that is unimaginable by others.
Because the spiritual energy was too strong, the gentle spiritual energy even became violent, forming a series of storms, which occasionally rolled over, causing amazing destructive power.
In the center of this area, there is a stable area.
In this area, dozens of Huanlingmoxiu gathered in it, sensing the movement of the outside world with solemn expressions.
They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until seeing Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan who had landed here gave up their search and got up to leave.
These people have been waiting here for a long time, and as for the purpose, it is related to an extremely important plan of their demon clan.
If this plan is successful, their Demon Race can wipe out most of the remaining monks in Zhongling in one fell swoop, and completely disperse the hearts of Zhongling monks.
However, the sudden appearance of Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan really surprised them.
In another month's time, their plan will be officially launched. If they are discovered at this time, it will be a failure. How can they be so depressed?
Fortunately, their concealment measures are strong enough, and it is true that the cultivation base of the visitors is still low, and there is not much discovery.
The leader of these dozens of Huanling demon cultivators is an eight-level monk, and he made a judgment in the blink of an eye, "It is not appropriate to make a move. These two people have not found anything wrong. If we take the initiative to kill Killing them, wouldn't it mean that there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place, and it's just a matter of life?"
"This is an arrangement of our clan for thousands of years. Don't be careless and let it turn into a phantom!"
His cold eyes swept over dozens of monks present, and finally fell on a seven-level monk who was hiding in the back and bowed his head guiltyly, and reprimanded in a cold voice: "Banquet, these two are you!" Bring it here."
They heard clearly what Lu Qingshan said before he left.
The one who lowered his head to the banquet saw that his name had been called, so he had no choice but to raise his head, and apologized, "Elder Wan Gu, I, Meng Lang, are responsible for this matter."
"It's just the last month. Once this month is over, I won't stop you from doing anything you want. Do you have to be in a hurry? Is there anything more important than the family's long-term plan?" Elder Wan Gu said coldly.
One month later, the Lord Jianping will probably be dead, and I will not be able to take revenge even if I want to...
Banyan retorted subconsciously in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute on the face, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
Seeing this, Elder Wan Gu sighed slightly, and did not continue to reprimand him.
It's not that he has such a good temper, the main reason is that the status of the banquet is not ordinary, and his father is one of the demon kings of the heart demon clan.
In a place with a strict hierarchy like the Mozu, if the banquet hadn't really almost caused a big mistake this time, he would not take the initiative to reprimand the banquet.
But it is only limited to two sentences of reprimand.
Elder Wan Gu's primordial spirit moved slightly, and his spiritual consciousness probed towards the banquet.
The banquet could sense the approach of this divine sense, although there was some resistance and his brows were slightly frowned, but in the end he let go of his defenses and let Elder Wan Gu display it.
Elder Wan Gu began to examine Banyan's body carefully.
Even though the existence of the Peach Blossom Mark was very hidden, Elder Wan Gu did his best to investigate it with all his strength and found out soon after he had expected it.
It was a tiny abnormal fluctuation hidden in the inner corner of the banquet body, shaped like a peach blossom, very beautiful.
But in this peach blossom mark, there is still a dense sword energy, which seems to burst out at any time.
Elder Wan Gu's mind gathered together, and his spiritual thoughts condensed into needles, wanting to destroy this mark.
But he didn't think about it for a while and it didn't work. The peach blossom imprint didn't move at all, but the banquet was painful. He snorted and said in horror: "Elder Wan Gu?"
"Don't resist," Elder Wan Gu said coldly, his face extremely serious, "This mark is tricky!"
The imprint is extremely tough, and it is not easy to destroy it. What is even more difficult is that this imprint is tightly embedded in the body of the banquet. If the action is too rough, while erasing the imprint, it is very likely to bring serious damage to the banquet. injury.
Therefore, miracles cannot be achieved vigorously, but can only be slowly grinded by water.
Immediately, Elder Wan Gu's eyes were slightly closed, and a source of energy gushed out of his body, flying towards Banyan's body, and carefully erased the mark in coordination with his divine sense.
After all, he was a cultivator of the Eighth Realm, so the imprint was extremely difficult, but under the all-out efforts of Elder Wan Gu, after half an hour, the peach blossom imprint finally turned into a little bit of aura and dissipated out of thin air.
"It's resolved." Elder Wan Gu let out a long sigh of relief.
…
On the back of a mountain thousands of miles away.
Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan, who had already left Thousand Carp Garden, did not go far, but stayed here, not knowing what they were waiting for.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan's mind moved, and he suddenly said: "My mark is gone."
"The duration of the imprint has not yet come."
"So the mark should be erased artificially." Speaking of this, he couldn't help chuckling.
"Don't erase it early, don't erase it later, it just happened to be erased at this point in time, hehe..."
They are all smart people. As for this, it is obvious what they mean.
"Brother Lu's words before he left were intended for those demon cultivators hiding in the dark." Mo Yan laughed.
Lu Qingshan nodded, his gaze narrowed slightly, "We'll just wait and see where these people are hiding in the Thousand Carp Garden, how they hide the truth, and..."
"What the hell are they planning!"
Lu Qingshan is sure, this time he must have bumped into the big secret of the demons again.
The safe must be filled with gold, not a piece of black iron.
Since the Demon Race has set up such a powerful concealment method in the Thousand Carp Garden, how can their plot be simple?
And the moment Lu Qingshan's voice fell, a figure quietly appeared in the Thousand Carp Garden.
This figure didn't realize that, compared to before, in the Thousand Carp Garden that he was extremely familiar with, there was an inconspicuous long sword.
