The plan was decided, and they set out at starry night. The five people walked in the barren mountains and ridges for a whole night, and arrived at a dense forest before dawn. They silently waited for the arrival of night in the dense forest.
Lu Zhongqiu is the grandnephew of the head of Tianmu Mountain. Once the incident occurs, Tianmu Mountain's investigation will be extremely intense. In order to ensure that no one is aware of it, he must stay awake day and night.
Throughout the whole day, Liu Xiaolou held the spirit stone in his hand, transformed the true essence, and worked hard to impact Foot Qiaoyin point. Foot Qiaoyin point is the last acupoint of Foot Shaoyang Meridian, and it is also the largest true energy spirit pool in this book. Zuo Gaofeng once taught Liu Xiaolou his experience. In order to open this acupoint, he kept pounding it for three months and used up to five spirit stones!
Liu Xiaolou certainly didn't expect to open up this key point in a few days. He just suddenly felt a sense of urgency when he got together with a few friends again.
In the past, his cultivation was too low to do what he wanted, but now that he had caught up to a close position and could already see the backs of his friends, his sense of urgency became even stronger.
Everyone is working hard towards their goals, and you must never be the one holding you back!
It was the moonrise again, so we continued on our way, and so on, and finally arrived at Jiashan on the third night.
I first looked at the terrain of Wulei Mountain, confirmed the two points that Lu Zhongqiu must pass, and rehearsed the ambush position and the order of action at these two places.
After the rehearsal, Zuo Gaofeng frowned. "If you take action here, you must consider the long term."
Wei Hongqing also felt it. Although Wulei Mountain was more remote and there were fewer travelers, the terrain was too open. Foot of the Mountain was relatively flat with few trees, which was not conducive to hiding traces. It was easy for an ambush to turn into a forced killing.
It's not that I'm worried that the forced killing will fail. A gang composed of Qi Refining ninth layer, Qi Refining Layer 8, Qi Refining Level 7 and Qi Refining sixth layer unexpectedly intercepted and killed Qi Refining Perfection on the way. If they still can't kill him, they should break up the gang as soon as possible.
What is really worrying is that if it turns into a forced killing, the noise will become louder, the time will become longer, and the possibility of being discovered will greatly increase.
Continue to approach Jiashan Market. About five miles away from the market is the scheduled first ambush point, Guangfu Bridge.
Guangfu Bridge is a stone bridge spanning former course of Yuan River. More than ten years ago, the Yuan River changed its course and the original riverbed turned into a swamp, so this stone bridge is still in use.
The most ideal ambush point is on the bridge. A few people are surrounded in front and back, and they can attack at a very close distance. The concealment and suddenness can be maximized.
But after seeing the venue, several people felt that they should be prepared not to cross the bridge Lu Zhongqiu. Because of winter, this riverbed swamp is obviously short of water, and dry soil is exposed in many places. You can pass directly through the riverbed without getting your shoes wet. Not wanting to get their shoes wet was an important reason why the monks chose to cross the river on the bridge - another important reason was to make themselves look normal.
Having seen the route and ambush points, we still need to make some preparations, rob a house, create the illusion that a robber is passing by Jiashan Market, and add a layer of illusion to Lu Zhongqiu's death that he was "robbed of money by a half-way". The purpose is to prevent Tianmu Mountain from linking the matter to Wei Hongqing.
This family needs some wealth, but not too rich and powerful. It needs to be easy to rob and leave evidence. Therefore, Xie Family Manor located near Guangfu Bridge became the first choice.
That night, three masked thieves kicked down the door of the Xie Family Manor and killed all the more than 30 servants of the Xie family on the spot, including Qi Refining fourth layer's Old Master Xie and his son Qi Refining second layer.
When Old Master Xie was young, he was also a member of the Daoist gang, and often took over as the leader of Hero's Invitation. However, his path of cultivation was too bumpy and arduous. He is over eighty years old, and he is still at Qi Refining fourth layer, and he has always been unable to break through the barrier between the early and middle stages of Qi refining.
One day, Old Master Xie figured it out and washed his hands in the golden basin and built a village here. He no longer struggled with the slim hope of immortality and decided to enjoy the rest of his life.
If a Qi Refining fourth layer monk gives up on the path of spiritual practice and decides to enjoy his old age, as long as he clings to a good path, he can usually do it. Therefore, Xie Family Manor is somewhat prosperous. Not only does he have six wives and concubines, but he also gives birth to a bunch of sons. He is considered happy in his later years.
It's a pity that the flowers are not red for a hundred days, so I have to give up my wealth tonight.
Wei Hongqing and Liu Xiaolou are currently or have been involved in high-level righteousness. Just in case, it is not convenient to come forward, so Zuo Gaofeng, Tan Bazhang and Fang Buai are the ones to take action. In order to exaggerate the atmosphere and leave evidence, everything was communicated between Fang Buai and Old Master Xie. The young man used a rehearsal style to intimidate Old Master Xie, with an accent that sounded like Xiangnan was closer to Lingnan, forcing Old Master Xie to hand over the spiritual stone.
In these days and months, which Rogue Cultivator dares to accumulate spiritual stones?
For such a small house of casual cultivators, there was naturally no spirit stone in the treasury. All the spirit stones that could be earned were used by Mr. Xie to train his precious son. Therefore, as expected, Zuo Gaofeng and the others only found gold and silver, which in total was equivalent to more than 500 taels of silver.
Everyone knew that the Xie family must have a hidden silver kiln, and it was impossible to only have 500 taels of silver in their possessions. This trip was not for this small amount of silver. After all the silver was swept away, a few people in order to "vent their anger" kicked over the tables, chairs and benches in the main room. On their way out, they lit a fire at a jujube tree outside the courtyard and walked away.
With such a case as the foundation, when Tianmu Mountain investigates the case in the future, it will most likely be related to the Xie family.
Soon, word spread that Xie's family had been robbed by a group of strongmen. For a while, the wealthy families near Jiashan were in danger and were busy burying gold, silver and valuable objects in the ground, needless to say.
To put it simply, at this moment, Lu Zhongqiu is already on the way back. This trip is no different from the past few years. He has managed things smoothly and brewed some of Bamboo Leaf Green's most core Spiritual Material purchased all of them and put them in the storage Universe Bag: thirty heads of Purple Flower Bamboo Shoots, fifteen pounds of Ghost Skirt Bamboo Fungus, and eight taels of Jade Bamboo Flower. A total of forty-five spiritual stones were spent.
This expense was cheaper than in previous years, so he still had fifteen spiritual stones left. He had already thought about it, and he would not be polite for ten spiritual stones. The remaining five would be returned to the public account, and he could still get a qualified Kaoyu.
In this way, the accumulated private property can be used to collect two hundred spirit stones, and then ask for a favor from his cousin Sect Master Lu. Use these two hundred spirit stones to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill refined by the sect, and strive to become Foundation Establishment cultivator. Then, if you marry Lu Yan clan, you will not be poked in the back.
After many years of hard pursuit, coupled with the manipulation of the handle, this proud woman was finally moved by her sincerity and agreed to marry her. He couldn't help but feel hot all over when he thought that after getting married, he would be able to stay and fly together with Lu Yan clan Qingqing, a prodigy recognized by the inner sect, who was expected to catch up with Lu Yuanlang in the future.
In the heat, I still think of the outside steward Wei Hongqing from time to time, and when I think of this name, I can't help but feel crazy jealousy and anger. Such a good woman was actually suppressed by a lowly Rogue cultivator for five years. What did she think? How should I face criticism from others after getting married?
What a shame!
What he worries about the most is Lu Yan clan. Although Lu Yan clan agreed to marry him, he has not allowed himself to speak out, and he is not willing to have sex with him in advance. Most of the time, he is still thinking about Wei. He must plan a way to drive Wei out of the sect and let him disappear from the world forever. In this way, in a few years, everyone will slowly forget about him...
I was thinking about this problem along the way, and Lu Zhongqiu entered Jiashan Market unknowingly.
However, he did not stop at any of the inns in the market, but carefully entered a roadside restaurant. Without stopping at all, he walked directly through the hall, turned out of the market, and came to a manor. He raised his eyes and saw the jujube tree outside the gate of Zhuangzi, and was startled.
Was this jujube tree struck by lightning? Why did it burn like this?
The village door opened wide, and Old Master Xie rushed out, wailing like a mourning heir. "Lu Young Master, my Mr. Young Master, you have to make the decision for my family!"
After entering the gate and serving fragrant tea, Old Master Xie told the whole story. His delicate sixth aunt also came to accompany him. She sat on Lu Zhongqiu's lap and wiped her tears with a towel. Lu Zhongqiu was furious when she heard. "This Xiangnan thief is so bold. He dares to come to Jiashan to cause trouble. Don't you know that this is my Tianmu Mountain's land? Lao Xie, don't worry, I will find a way for you to find out about this matter. How much the thief robbed will be spit out ten times!"
