Done!I'm a substitute!

He put away the topographic map of Ling Mine, carried the sycamore wooden box on his back, and headed southwest.

He didn't use the Divine Walking Talisman this time, because he was not in a hurry, and the distance was not far away, after all, they were all within the jurisdiction of Yuhua Xianzong.

"Towards the southwest, there are two Ling mines. This time we are inspecting the Xuannan Ling mines."

Yuan Zhengfeng said in a low tone, "Ling Mine is usually guarded by three inner sect elders, one hundred inner sect disciples and more than three hundred outer sect disciples. Shipping, and all that stuff."

Hanging Bird poked his head out and said: "I heard from the door that they all said that this is a good place. If you are sent out in the future, the best place is actually the Spirit Mine! According to them, there is wine in this place. ?”

Yuan Zhengfeng scolded immediately: "I don't have any knowledge and skills, what kind of wine is there to drink? They mean that the spiritual energy in the Lingkuang Mine is abundant, second only to the mountain gate, which is good for cultivation! Although the Lingkuang Mine is busy, and for ordinary disciples, it is even more It is exhausting, but it is undeniable that it is still outside the gate of Xianzong Mountain, the most conducive place for cultivation..."

Speaking of this, Yuan Zhengfeng said in a solemn tone, "The sect attaches great importance to the Lingkuang Mountain. To avoid collusion between the elders and disciples guarding the Lingkuang Mine, and to conspire with the Lingshi, they will rotate every few days. Send someone to take over."

"In addition to this, different inspectors will be dispatched on the surface to inspect at intervals, and occasionally to investigate secretly."

"However, since the establishment of Yuhua Xianzong, there have been more than 46 cases of privately hiding spirit stones in the twelve spirit mines, and [-] major cases of colluding with outsiders and trading spirit stones!"

"In Xuannan Ling Mine, the closest time was 34 years ago. When inspecting the Ling Mine, a Zongmen inspector was buried in the mine and died unexpectedly."

Pausing for a while, Yuan Zhengfeng continued with emotion, "This case has a huge impact, and the turmoil is overwhelming. At first glance, it is an act of murder and silence. Later, the old man personally supervised the arrest of three inner sect elders, including the more than a hundred elders. All the disciples from the inner sect were escorted back to the sect, and the head real person was invited to do it himself, using the divine talisman! In addition, more than [-] disciples from the outer sect also used the spirit-testing talisman!"

"What's the result?" Hanging Bird was quite curious.

"It turned out to be a damn thing, it was really an accident!" Yuan Zhengfeng cursed, and said: "This matter involves members of the Chen clan. At that time, I saw that they were too arrogant and domineering. I thought that the mine collapsed unexpectedly, and I was so angry that I didn't sleep for three days..."

"What an accident?" Li Zhengjing laughed and said, "Our first real person is so scheming, can't it be that the first real person took care of the overall situation and concealed the truth about the search for the talisman?"

"It makes sense." Yuan Zhengfeng was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "There is only one Chen clan, and the first Daoist will not hide it, but if other high-level sects are involved, the relationship is too great. , and can’t put it on the bright side!”

"Is it so involved? Then... are we going to investigate this time openly or unannounced?" Hanging Bird couldn't help asking.

"What is a clear investigation? What is an unannounced visit?" The tree of five elements poked out a branch and asked aloud.

"Clear inspection is to show up in front of the other party in an open and honest manner. This is basically a formality, and nothing can be found out." Hanging the bird said this, and said: "Of course, if the person who guards the spirit mine It is more upright, and maybe it will give us some benefits, such as spirit wine, such as spirit stone..."

"Then what about unannounced visits?" asked the Five Elements Creation Tree.

"Unannounced visits just don't disturb them, just investigate quietly." The bird hanging on the wall said: "It's fine if there is no weirdness. If there is something weird, then it may involve a big case and make a great contribution! Of course, it may be too late to make a contribution. , was buried first..."

"Since we want to build momentum, we can't just go through the motions." Yuan Zhengfeng said in a deep voice.

"That's an unannounced visit." Li Zhengjing put away the gold and silver order, and said slowly: "Since the first real person wants to build momentum, then there must be something wrong with the Xuannan Ling Mine! He didn't clean it up in the past, and he may have various considerations, but now Use this merit to strengthen my reputation!"

"The counterfeit drug dealer just sent you the topographic map of Ling Mine. The old man glanced at it. The path marked on it is quite secretive and not on the surface."

Yuan Zhengfeng said like this: "There should be no markings in the topographic map of the Ling Mine of Shangcheng Zongmen!"

Li Zhengjing nodded slightly, and said: "The problem should be in these hidden paths. Let's sneak in and check from here! If we are discovered, we will take out the token, and as an inspector, let's just go through the motions!"

After finishing speaking, Li Zhengjing seemed to think of something and remained silent.

The atmosphere was silent again for a moment.

"What did little friend Zhengjing realize?"

"Elder Yuan saw it too?"

"Hmm...it's really weird..." The bird hanging on the wall showed a wise light in its eyes.

"Did Master Bird see it?" asked the Five Elements Creation Tree.

"..." Hanging Bird's eyes gradually became unkind.

"You can't see it, what are you pretending to be?" Yuan Zhengfeng suddenly sighed, looking quite helpless.

"Master Bird, how could I not see it?" The hanging bird faltered and couldn't explain for a while.

"Did the counterfeit drug dealer see it?" Li Zhengjing looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "He knew that I was ordered to go down the mountain, and this inspection of the Ling Mine was for an unannounced visit? So he caught up and gave me this sheet with hidden trails marked everywhere topographic map?"

"Maybe... I just heard that the master is going to the Ling Mine to sell a topographic map and earn some money? As for whether to investigate openly or unannounced, it doesn't matter to him?" risk, said hesitantly.

"You are stupid, if he is really unfathomable, how can gold and silver enter his eyes?" The Five Elements Fortune Tree waved its branches and said, "He must have other plans to approach our master, and making money is a cover!"

"Maybe……"

Li Zhengjing hesitated and said: "What Guabi said may not be wrong, it's just gold and silver. To him, maybe it has a different meaning?"

Thinking this way, he glanced at the golden pages again, seeing that his fortune had not changed and everything was stable, he immediately exhaled and said, "Forget it, let's go to the Spirit Mine first!!"

When Yuan Zhengfeng heard the words, he also quite agreed, and replied: "In Gu Yuefeng's city, if this counterfeit drug dealer has something to do with the creditor, this matter should be within his expectation! If there is no relationship, then it is Even better, there are no mistakes or omissions in this matter!"

After the agreement, Li Zhengjing tied the sycamore wooden box to his body again, and went straight to the Ling Mine.

When he was approaching, he stuck the Xuanguang Talisman to his body, restrained his energy, and quietly climbed the mountain with the breeze following the shadow.

He is now in the realm of true energy, and with Yuan Zhengfeng's various pointers, and a topographic map marked with hidden trails, his journey has been quite smooth, and he entered the Spirit Mine.

After stepping into the Spirit Mine, I sensed the abundance of spiritual energy, and continued along the path, avoiding the patrolling disciples.

He went deep into the Ling Mine, and suddenly felt strange, stretched out his hand to break off the stone wall beside him, his eyes lit up.

"Miscellaneous spirit stones?"

"It has been mined here, but there are a few miscellaneous spirit stones left." Yuan Zhengfeng said: "Take out the topographic map."

"What?" Li Zhengjing took it out as he said.

"Sure enough, there is something wrong with Ling Mine." Yuan Zhengfeng said: "This map was newly made this year, and this place should have been mined two or three years ago! That is to say... it was mined secretly, and it has not been reported to the sect!"

"Secret mining?" Li Zhengjing showed a strange expression.

"Now they have taken away the spirit stones, leaving only a few miscellaneous spirit stones!" Yuan Zhengfeng said: "In the future, they will only need to fill them with ordinary rocks, and then wait for the next batch of people from the sect to mine them, and only ordinary rocks are taken out." And a few miscellaneous spirit stones, you will mistakenly think that there is not enough spiritual energy here, and there are few spirit stones, that's all!"

"Then let's go back and report to the sect, and then we have made great achievements?" Hanging Bird poked his head out and asked.

"If you get all the stolen goods, you will be considered a success." Yuan Zhengfeng said: "They must be prepared, and they will report it rashly. Recently, a new quarry area has been opened up, and it is ready to be reported!"

"Then find those mined spirit stones first." Li Zhengjing's eyes moved slightly, and said: "Since inspectors often come, these spirit stones must not be placed on the bright side, and can only be hidden somewhere in these trails." !"

"go!"

Yuan Zhengfeng's tone was solemn, so to speak.

Go deep into it, search carefully, and find the place where the spiritual energy is abundant. With Yuan Zhengfeng, a half-dead immortal here, he finally found the trace of the formation.

After cracking the formation, behind the stone wall is an empty room.

There are four wooden boxes inside, three big and one small.

Li Zhengjing came forward and opened the wooden box.

There are three large boxes of miscellaneous spirit stones, about [-] pieces.

In the small wooden box, there are nearly two hundred high-quality spirit stones.

In an instant, Li Zhengjing's eyes flickered, bright as fire.

"unacceptable!"

Yuan Zhengfeng gritted his teeth: "Spiritual stones are extremely precious to Xianzong, and they are strictly controlled! I have been in the Law Enforcement Hall for many years, and I don't know how many achievements I have made. I only got less than thirty pieces in total..."

"This is just accumulated here, I don't know how much was shipped out before."

When Li Zhengjing said this, his heart moved slightly. Could it be that the miscellaneous spirit stones of the counterfeit drug dealers came out from here?

In the entire Zhongzhou realm, all spiritual stones are controlled by the top forces of all parties.

For the outside world, whether it is an ordinary practice sect or a casual monk, Lingshi is a treasure that is hard to find!

For the realm of true energy and even the realm of immortality, the entry-level spirit stone is helpful to practice knowledge!

And for alchemy, refining tools, formations, talismans, etc., Lingshi also has miraculous effects!

Even miscellaneous spirit stones are extremely rare and precious to the outside world!

"If it's for your own use, it's not worth taking so much for yourself? Could it be that someone traded spirit stones with the outside world, so what is he asking for?" The bird hanging on the wall asked blankly, "Is it for wine?"

"People are short of people and greedy. Even if they have a lot of money, they will inevitably seek more wealth, let alone spirit stones?" Yuan Zhengfeng said aloud: "Besides, if they have a lot of spirit stones in the sect, they will definitely be watched by the Law Enforcement Hall." Come on! If you trade with the outside world and obtain all kinds of other necessary natural materials and treasures, it will not be too conspicuous!"

"Besides, for example, the Chen clan, after all, has its roots in the mundane world. It is not surprising to exchange some miscellaneous spirit stones for gold, silver and property to strengthen the foundation of the mundane world!"

Li Zhengjing thought of his cousin Jia Shifang, who, relying on worldly gold and silver common objects, was even enough to impress the top Buddhist sects such as the King Kong Temple, so that he expanded the temples in the secular world and gathered incense from all living beings.

"Wealth and honor are sought in danger, let alone longevity?"

Li Zhengjing whispered: "What they are looking for is the opportunity to practice..."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Can Yu and said seriously: "These are all stolen goods. This disciple will put them away for now and hand them over to the sect later! I will investigate the culprit later and get the clues. This is a heinous contribution, and I will succeed... ..."

"not necessarily!"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

Li Zhengjing's eyes were slightly fixed, with a strange expression on his face, he turned around to look.

The visitor looked middle-aged, with thin cheeks, a little haggard, and...he had no ears!

"Chen Yang!"

"long time no see!"

Chen Yang stepped forward slowly, and said calmly: "The news came from the Great Elder that you came here as an inspector, and I have prepared for it! If you come here in the open and aboveboard, then you can live in peace! But since you are an unannounced visit... Then bury it here!"

Before his voice fell, he gradually walked out of the figure behind him.

A total of 36 people, all in the realm of inner qi!

"As an inspector, my identity should be kept secret, so why is it known to everyone?"

Li Zhengjing laughed and said, "Since you have already prepared, this is the only battle? Have you forgotten that I once killed the Gu King Xin Xuan?"

"Thirty-six people form a big formation of Tiangang, even if you have cultivated to the realm of true energy, you may not be able to leave calmly!"

Chen Yang sneered, his face was full of sarcasm, and said: "It's only been two months since you cultivated internal qi in your viscera? I've cultivated internal qi for many years, and I haven't broken the level of true qi yet... Chen Yang I don’t believe it, within two months, you can cultivate your inner qi to the peak, and even break through the realm of true qi!”

"Idiots can't understand the level of genius at all." Hanging Bird couldn't help sighing.

"No!" Yuan Zhengfeng suddenly made a sound, and said, "Three elders from the inner sect who are in the realm of true qi have arrived, and their cultivation bases are not weak. The tallest ones have broken more than two hundred acupuncture points! They are extremely well prepared, and it seems that they are doing well. Jing Xiaoyou can only rely on the old man, come on... the old man is ready..."

"Elder Yuan, don't get too excited, you're almost laughing out loud."

Li Zhengjing said helplessly: "Just relying on them, why did you get so excited? A few days ago, you just killed an immortal, so your old man is not happy for them, is it?"

Yuan Zhengfeng sighed and said: "I've been holding back for a long time. Last time I was completely beaten. How can I be happy? Besides, this time is the past. That time the truth was suppressed by the first real person, and I returned without success. Now Bringing up the old matter again, we must be ashamed!"

"As soon as you make a move, you have to replenish it with spirit stones, and these boxes of spirit stones are all stolen money, so you can't use them without authorization. It's enough to give it to your disciples!"

Li Zhengjing pulled out the Dragon Pattern Suppressing Evil Knife, and faced Chen Yang and the others.

But Chen Yang and the others were prepared to fight, not daring to take action easily.

Until now, people from all three directions have appeared.

The three inner sect elders in the realm of true qi are all from the Chen family!

"Guangbi, you have just become true Qi, but after all, you are a divine bird of Bailuan, and after transformation, its combat power is not bad. That Elder Chen who seems to have only opened a dozen orifices, I will leave it to you next, I am sure." ?"

"Master, don't worry, I'm not familiar with him, so I won't show mercy. This time, I'll make him familiar!"

"Okay! Shuzai, you have perfect yin and yang and five elements, and you have the help of Breaking Waves Gu. That person is so powerful that you may have opened nearly a hundred acupoints, are you sure?"

"My lord, I used to be planted and picked by others. I have no experience in fighting, so I can only torture birds... I can't say how sure I am against him, but at least block him for [-] breaths and let Duanlang harass me." a bit."

"It's enough for you to resist twenty breaths, because they can't stop my master's twenty breaths!"

Li Zhengjing moved forward with a knife, and said calmly: "This Elder Chen who opened two hundred orifices, and those 36 trash... I want to see how much ability you have!"

He rushed forward suddenly, and the breeze followed the shadow's movement, and arrived in an instant!

He slashed at Chen Yang with a single knife, hiding his true energy on it!

In an instant, the saber energy surpassed three feet, and the thunder flashed!

Suddenly, the thunder was deafening!

Five Lightning Breaking Mountain Knife!

When he reached the realm of true qi, the Wulei Duanyue Saber in his hand could be considered to have shown its true power and demeanor!

And he pressed his left hand, facing the elder of the Chen family who opened more than [-] orifices, the fire was flickering, and the sword was sharp.

"kill!"

The sound of fighting suddenly arose in this spirit mine!

-

At the same time, however.
