Chapter 194 193 Someone Dug a Hole to Bury Himself
Chapter 194 193. Someone dug a hole to bury themselves
"Dannan Mountain?"
Lei Jun asked slowly: "Master, as far as the disciples know, Danan Mountain is a relatively large mountain range in the Southern Wilderness, stretching over many places and with many dangerous peaks.
The information you got about the Celestial Master's Robe, just talking about Danan Mountain is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Is there any more specific direction? "
Yuan Mobai: "About Guchengling, the main peak in the western section of Danan Mountain."
Lei Jun pondered after hearing this.
Guchengling points to the middle and lower road.
In fact, it is also very dangerous.
Because the fate predicted by the current situation is not that Lei Jun will go to Gucheng Ridge alone, but that he will go with his master Yuan Mobai.
In this case, a winning lottery with many dangers and unpredictable life and death can be drawn, which is enough to show the danger.
Considering where the information Yuan Mobai got pointed, Lei Jun actually had some doubts as to whether this might be a trap.
Longhu Mountain is looking for the lost Celestial Master's Seal and Celestial Master's robe. This is something that cannot be concealed.
If foreign enemies are intentional, they may set up an ambush for this point.
Xu Yuanzhen disappeared, and Tang Xiaotang is now in charge of the Tianshi Sword and the Ten Thousand Fa Sect as a Heavenly Master and cannot easily leave the mountain.
The most likely targets of the opponent are the three high-gong elders Yuan Mobai, Yao Yuan and Shangguan Ning.
In view of the emptiness of Tianshi Mansion, even if someone passes by, it will be one of three people at most.
This may give the other party a chance.
However, the lottery is a winning one, so there is room for movement.
Moreover, this fortune was for Lei Jun, not Yuan Mobai, so the situation was slightly easier for Yuan Mobai.
But there is absolutely no need to take this risk.
According to the fortune, there was only danger but no opportunity, which meant that there was not even a real bait in the trap on the other side of Danan Mountain. He really was not a son of a man... Lei Jun was quite disgusted.
"Chongyun?"
Yuan Mobai looked at the silent Lei Jun: "Did you hear anything?"
Lei Jun nodded: "Master, don't go to that side of Gucheng Ridge, it's probably a trap!"
He now has a very suitable person to dump the blame on: "A while ago at the starry sky party in the book, I heard someone mention Gucheng Ridge when I was exchanging information with others. Although the other party was vague, we should be cautious."
When Yuan Mobai heard this, his expression remained relaxed and his smile did not diminish: "If there is a trap, can you know where the enemy is coming from?"
Regardless of whether the news Lei Jun got was true or false, Yuan Mobai would treat it with caution at this moment.
It's not a matter of confidence, but it's not easy to recover after the Tianshi Mansion was robbed. Naturally, you have to be careful not to be hit hard again. Some things are more trustworthy than trustworthy.
It is true that the Heavenly Master's robe is of great importance, but Yuan Mobai had previously obtained relevant information about Guchengling in Danan Mountain, which was originally an unconfirmed rumor.
"The other party was vague about the specific situation, but..."
Lei Jun quickly came up with a plan, and found a generally justifiable excuse and reason for his claim. Although it was a lie, the purpose was to prevent his mentor from being in danger:
"...However, the other party mentioned that recently, more than one master with three days of cultivation has been found in Gucheng Ridge. Among them are people from the Southern Wilderness Witch Sect, and there are also Confucian monks who are suspected of being from the Tang Dynasty in Middle Earth!"
Just looking at the fortune telling description, Lei Jun couldn't be sure who was using the news about the Heavenly Master's robe to set a trap.
But he had his suspicions.
The current relatively clear enemies of Tianshi Mansion can be roughly divided into three groups.
Needless to say, the first road is the old enemy Huang Tiandao.
The second route is in Jinchengzhai, a local snake in the Southern Wilderness, the holy land of the Wumen Ghost Path in the Southern Wilderness. The current leader's faction has an old grudge with the Tianshi Mansion.
As for the third way, it is more general, but it is also the most powerful.
They are all the famous families in the Tang Dynasty in China.
The major aristocratic families are currently focusing their attention on the Capital Academy and the Xiao Clan outside Long County. I heard that the situation has reached a point where it is about to break out.
But we have to consider the possibility of the other party feinting a shot.
Especially the Ye clan of Jinzhou, which has four surnames and six hopes, was involved in the internal struggle between Li and others in the Tianshi Mansion.
Lei Jun was wary of them.
Anyway, it was suspected news that had not yet been confirmed, so Lei Jun singled out the Confucian family as a target.
Since the location is in Southern Wilderness, the Southern Wilderness Wumen, as a local snake, is more likely to have a hand in it. Although it does not specify that it is Jincheng Village, it is enough to be a suspect.
"Are you a great Confucian or a great witch in the Three Heavens?" Yuan Mobai pondered.
Lei Jun: "Although I'm not sure yet, I contacted Master and you suddenly mentioned the news about Tianshi Pao and Gucheng Ridge today. I thought it was necessary to be on guard."
Yuan Mobai nodded slightly: "This is how it should be."
Lei Jun suddenly felt something in his heart.
He read the lucky fortunes again, and murmured in his heart again.
If we say that Guchengling, the main peak in the western section of Danan Mountain mentioned in the lottery, is a trap set by the enemy.
So, what about Chaoyang Peak, the main peak in the eastern section of Danan Mountain that I mentioned in my signature?
According to fortune, Chaoyang Peak is actually more dangerous than Gucheng Ridge!
But the rumors about the Heavenly Master's robe obtained by Yuan Mobai pointed to Gucheng Ridge, not Chaoyang Peak.
It would be outrageous to say that the same group of enemies divided their forces to set up an ambush and prepared a double insurance.
The Dananshan Mountains are long and the main peaks in the west and east are separated by more than thousands of miles.
One end is a battle, and the other end is an atmosphere group that can't even reach the edge.
If you want to buy double insurance outside the main peak of the western section, Guchengling, then there are many other ambush locations along the long mountain range of Danan Mountain to the east. Why go to the extremely remote Chaoyang Peak, the main peak of the eastern section?
Even if Yuan Mobai is deceived into going to Guchengling and gets nothing, he can at most look for it in other places in the western section of Danan Mountain. At best, he can go to the mountains in the middle section to have another look. What is the probability that he will definitely go to Chaoyang Peak, the main peak in the eastern section?
Therefore, the source of danger pointed to by Zhongxiaotiao and Xiaxiaotiao may be two groups of people from different groups?
Do they know each other's existence...
Thinking of this, Lei Jun had some thoughts in his mind.
"Master, this disciple will go into the starry sky in the book again and inquire about the news."
Lei Jun looked at Yuan Mo Baiyan and said: "What people in Qiyao said may not be entirely true and needs further confirmation."
Yuan Mobai: "That's fine."
Lei Jun would not seriously verify the matter with the other six people.
Without confirming each other's identities, disclosure of personal information can be avoided if possible.
He was just pretending so that he could explain to Yuan Mobai later.
"In the area around Guchengling, the main peak in the western section of Danan Mountain, it is very likely that enemies are indeed using the information from the Celestial Master's Robe to set a trap against our sect."
Lei Junyan said: "In addition, there is some news about Chaoyang Peak, the main peak in the eastern section of Danan Mountain. There seems to be an extremely ferocious monster haunting there, but this news is not conclusive."
It's hard to say what will happen if Yuan Mobai passes away.
But if Lei Jun crashes into Chaoyang Peak, even if Yuan Mobai is by his side, it will be a dead end as Yuan Mobai cannot protect him.
Lei Jun doesn't know the reason for such a dangerous environment for the time being, so he will inform Yuan Mobai first in the name of the big demon.
I will check other channels later to see if there is any news about Chaoyang Peak, the main peak in the eastern section of Danan Mountain.
"Master, I have an idea..." Lei Jun said carefully.
The smile on Yuan Mobai's face disappeared, and his expression became more serious: "Are you trying to lead the West and the East into a fight?"
Lei Jun nodded slightly.
Yuan Mobai: "It's very risky."
Lei Jun: "There is an increasingly tit-for-tat confrontation between the famous family and our sect's inheritance. Let's not mention the Bodhi Temple that has been wiped out. Let's just talk about our sect. It has been plotted openly and covertly by people not once or twice.
Previously, there were people from the Ye Clan in Jinzhou and the Chu Clan in Suzhou who directly intervened in the dispute between Li and Wai, but now Dananshan was trying to set up an ambush.
The disciple believes that our sect has been passively responding and will inevitably be exhausted. We should find some other things for our opponents to do so that our sect can escape. "
He said slowly: "Our sect is currently at a low point and needs to recuperate. We should avoid direct conflicts with the enemy. Killing people with borrowed knives is a common method used by Jinzhou Ye Clan and Youzhou Lin Clan. We may be able to treat others in their own way. body……"
Yuan Mobai did not reject Lei Jun's proposal, but just asked: "How to ensure that the person in Qiyao who gave you relevant information is not the enemy we will face this time?"
Lei Jun: "Although I am not completely sure, this person is probably a member of the Tang Dynasty imperial family."
The Tang Dynasty imperial family hoped to use the power of the sect's holy land to check and balance the famous families.
But for Tianshi Mansion, it is not now.
The Tang Dynasty emperor also wanted to sharpen this dull knife and put it to greater use.
Otherwise, the Queen would not have gone to Longhu Mountain to support the Tianshi Mansion.
"If I can't leave alone, I will still go on this journey as a teacher."
Yuan Mobai was usually gentle, but just because he dared to take the risk to temporarily put aside the Ten Thousand Fa Sect to go out and ambush the elders of the Jiangzhou Lin clan in Xianliu Palace, we knew that he had a dangerous side.
Lei Jun said: "Disciple walks with master."
According to the winning lottery, this trip to Danan Mountain, or even deep into the Southern Wilderness, is generally safe as long as we don't hit the boundary between Gucheng Ridge and Chaoyang Peak.
After the master and apprentice made some further discussions, they began to make preparations.
Including Tang Xiaotang, no one else in the house knew what was going on.
Lei Jun and Yuan Mobai simply reported that the master and apprentice would leave the mountain and walk to the southern wasteland together to search for the robe of the Heavenly Master.
Although Tang Xiaotang wanted to go out together, he was eventually persuaded by Lei Jun and Yuan Mobai.
The Imperial Book Pavilion is quiet and there is little business. It doesn't matter if Lei Jun leaves in a short time. He can just ask a few disciples to look after him.
The two masters and disciples left Longhu Mountain immediately without saying any more nonsense.
They did not go south immediately, but first went to Zixiao Sect, Tianxu Sect, Yuhe Sect and other Taoist Fulu sects for a tour.
His whereabouts are unpredictable, making it difficult to trace his whereabouts.
But one day, after leaving the same place, the master and the apprentice suddenly disappeared and did not return to the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain for a long time.
There was no panic in the Tianshi Mansion. It seemed that Master and Disciple Lei Jun had other plans.
In this way, the news spread and fell into the ears of interested people.
Among the mountains of the Southern Wilderness.
"Mother, Master and Disciple Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun have been missing from the news for some time."
Ye Lingxi, the legitimate daughter of the Ye clan in Jinzhou, stood behind her mother Ye Han: "If they really came to this area of Danan Mountain, they should have arrived by now."
Ye Han said calmly: "Don't be impatient and wait for the news. This is just a casual try. If you miss it, you will miss it."
Ye Lingxi lowered his head: "Yes."
Ye Han: "Over there in Jincheng Village, the exchange of information cannot be interrupted, but we also need to be careful."
Ye Lingxi: "My daughter understands."
They and Jinchengzhai have a common goal and enemy, Tianshi Mansion.
But this does not mean that the two sides are close allies.
On the contrary, when dealing with people from places like Jinchengzhai, the holy land of the Wumen Ghost Path, you must always be cautious.
For ghost masters, the quality of the evil spirit zombies they serve is important, not their origin.
There are excellent materials that can be used to refine the Evil Soul Walking Corpse. If the time is right, of course you won't miss it.
But Ye Han still contacted the strong men of Jinchengzhai.
First, this is the Southern Wilderness, and the other party is a local snake.
And dealing with the Tianshi Mansion can eventually promote cooperation between the two sides on a large scale.
Second, it is just like the previous time when the abbot of Bodhi Temple Leyuan did it.
If conditions permit, the people of the Jinzhou Ye clan have no intention of taking action personally.
There is Jinchengzhai, a sacred place of the Wumen Ghost Dao lineage that is hostile to the Tianshi Mansion in the Southern Wilderness, and the Jinzhou Ye clan will not miss it.
This is a consistent habit of the Jinzhou Ye clan under the influence of the old clan leader.
As one of the few nine-layered heavenly strongmen in the Tang Dynasty today, the old man himself rarely took action personally throughout his life.
Ye Han and Ye Lingxi are his daughter and granddaughter, and they have not seen each other many times.
Most of the stories they saw were like this:
The Xinzhou Li family rose to power and dominated the Taoist talisman school's sacred place Tianshi Mansion. The disputes between Li and others broke out continuously, causing the Tianshi Mansion to be constantly consumed for nearly two hundred years.
Xuantian Temple, a sacred place for Buddhist precepts, is becoming more and more closed and self-contained, while more and more children from aristocratic families are becoming disciples in the temple.
Shushan Sect, a sacred place for Taoist weapon-making, also has serious internal divisions, and a few years ago, a civil war finally broke out.
Bodhi Temple, a sacred place for Buddhist Zen and martial arts, has just suffered the disaster of extermination at the end of the law.
The Zhang Tang royal family's efforts to support the sect's sacred place in an attempt to check and balance the aristocratic families have been continuously resolved.
What is particularly concerning to Ye Han and her daughter is that even they can't tell how much of the Western Region demon chaos that directly ruined the fate of the late emperor Zhang Qilong was pre-planned and how much of it was just going with the flow...
Of course, for many things, one's own cultivation strength is the foundation.
You can do without it, but you can't do without it.
The old man himself is one of the few powerful people in the ninth heaven realm in the Tang Dynasty, as if he was telling his descendants this truth.
So this time, Ye Han went south in person, not just her daughter Ye Lingxi.
"Mother..."
Ye Lingxi unfolded a scroll.
The blank paper suddenly appeared with words.
Ye Han turned his head and took a look: "Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun? As expected, they are here."
Later, Ye Lingxi opened another volume, and the paper showed a message from another side: "There is news from Jinchengzhai. They also found Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun appeared in the northern part of Da Nanshan."
Ye Han nodded gently: "Let's prepare too. It would be best if we can keep Yuan Mobai this time. Lei Jun is a surprise."
Ye Lingxi was thoughtful.
"Why, are you feeling competitive?" Ye Han asked.
Ye Lingxi shook her head: "How could it be? Grandfather and you always taught us that scholars of our generation should concentrate and calm down, and not fight with others.
Whether dealing with the Bodhi Temple or the Tianshi Mansion, it is to cut off the source of the Buddhist and Taoist chaos in the world's knowledge and establish the foundation of our clan for eternity, rather than out of personal grudges and emotional disputes."
Ye Han: "It's good that you can remember this."
She turned and walked away: "To be fair, Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun, both masters and apprentices, are talents of the time, but precisely because of this, they should be killed as soon as possible and not let go."
"My daughter understands." Ye Lingxi followed: "My daughter was thinking just now. I heard that Yuan Mobai has always cherished his disciples. Maybe I can use this to make a fuss. Let Lei Jun tie Yuan Mobai down, and I will be more confident to keep him and prevent him from escaping."
Ye Han: "Let's see how far the people in Jinchengzhai can go."
The people in Jinchengzhai were very hurt.
Because they have already prepared an ambush in Guchengling, and there are also women from the Ye clan in Jinzhou ready to take action at any time on the periphery.
But Yuan Mobai and his apprentice, who were said to have headed for Da Nanshan, suddenly disappeared.
Da Nanshan is vast and has many mountains.
As local tyrants, it is impossible for the people of Jinchengzhai to control every inch of land, especially since they are now acting recklessly.
However, they are also patient and continue to wait quietly near Guchengling.
Like hunters waiting for their prey.
Ye Han and Ye Lingxi also remained calm and only sent out their spies to keep the information network open.
A few days later, their patience seemed to be rewarded.
News came that someone had seen Lei Jun and his apprentice in the middle of Da Nanshan.
But they soon lost their traces.
"Are you aware of or suspicious?" Ye Lingxi looked at her mother.
Ye Han looked down at the message on the scroll that was delivered through the words: "Don't worry, wait and see."
Later, new news came.
Yuan Mobai's whereabouts are still unknown.
Only Lei Jun appeared alone in the Great South Mountain, but soon disappeared again.
"One bright and one dark, or two groups?" Ye Lingxi muttered to himself.
Ye Han picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the blank scroll: "One bright and one dark, more likely to come directly to Gucheng Ridge, now it looks more like two groups."
The ink words appeared on the blank paper, and then quickly disappeared.
The mother and daughter of the Ye family still waited quietly.
Later, new news finally came:
Someone saw a young Taoist who looked like Yuan Mobai in the mountains of the western section of the Great South Mountain, as if he was looking for something.
Lei Jun, on the other hand, went in the opposite direction from his mentor, and seemed to be heading towards the eastern section of the Great South Mountain.
"For the time being, we will still focus on Yuan Mobai, and we will wait for him near Gucheng Ridge." Ye Han said: "Lei Jun's whereabouts, especially whether he left the Great South Mountain and returned north."
The Jinzhou Ye clan and Jinchengzhai waited together near Gucheng Ridge, but still could not see Yuan Mobai.
There is news that Lei Jun has appeared more frequently in the eastern section of Da Nanshan recently.
"Did they notice an ambush at Guchengling?"
Ye Lingxi was surprised: "Then just leave directly, why go to the eastern section of Da Nanshan?
If they want to ambush us in return... Tang Xiaotang should not have brought the Heavenly Master Sword out of Longhu Mountain!"
Ye Han: "Has there been any movement in the eastern section of Da Nanshan recently?"
Ye Lingxi: "There has been no relevant news."
Ye Han frowned: "Is there anything special there that attracts them?"
"Hmm?"
Ye Lingxi took out a scroll and unfolded it, reading the text on it, and was surprised: "In the eastern section of Da Nanshan, there are nine-color brilliance flashing on the peaks, which look exactly like the Heavenly Master robe?"
The mother and daughter looked at each other.
They spread the news that there was a clue to the Heavenly Master robe at Guchengling, the main peak of the western section of Da Nanshan, and they were just trying to get something for nothing.
But could it be that Da Nanshan is really the blessed land of the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain?
But, it's in the eastern section?
