"No. Now it's not like a few years ago. Several big forces are already paying attention to us. If there are any more casual repairs missing, I am afraid that they will really be wary of them. It is better to recruit a group of people in my name. Just go to the mansion for casual cultivation, and then let them disappear without knowing it." The tall black shadow shook his head and said.
"Since there is a more secure way, I naturally don't care about things. By the way, there is no problem with the court. How did I hear the wind, some Jinling-level guest officials seem to have begun to trace our affairs." The last one Black Shadow nodded, then solemnly asked.
"Golden spirit-level guest officials, this is really troublesome. Once these court guest officials move one of them, it is almost as if they provoke the entire hornet's nest. And these guys say that they are court guest officials, but it is true that they belong to the current royal family. However, it is true. If the royal family really noticed us, I wouldn’t have heard the news. Now it should be just the private actions of these guest officials. Let’s go back and talk to other people. Before that, don’t provoke me. These Jin Lingke Qings. The royal family is different from the five major sects that are thousands of miles away. If they know what we are planning, I am afraid they will act immediately, and they are not very willing to replace us. Moreover, with the strength of the Great Profound Kingdom imperial family, I am afraid it will be early He quietly cultivated his own spiritual masters, but didn't dare to let them show up." said the tall black shadow.
"What, the royal family already has a spiritualist, what news have you heard?" The second black shadow seemed to be taken aback when he heard this.
"I don't have definite evidence for this, it's just a guess." The tall black shadow shook his head and said.
"Even if it is true, these imperial spiritualists shouldn't be afraid, otherwise, as long as they show their deeds in front of people, I am afraid that the five major sects will be the first to destroy the entire imperial family. Then, when I look back, I will let my subordinates avoid them as much as possible. These Jin Ling Keqing are just fine. Fortunately, as long as you endure this half a year, everything will be over." The last dark shadow said with a sneer after being silent for a while.
"Well, this can only be done first." The second black shadow said with a sigh.
So in the rest of the time, the three people gathered and talked together for a while before they got up and left the hall.
…
When Liu Ming returned to Xuan Jing, it was already mid-afternoon.
At this time, he turned into a middle-aged Taoist priest with three strands of long beard, walking slowly on a seemingly lively street in Xuanjing.
Suddenly he moved into a seemingly ordinary alley next to him.
This alley is not long, but there are seven or eight shops with various signs on both sides.
After Liu Ming walked a few steps, he stopped in front of a coffin shop with white flags hanging on it, and walked in calmly.
"Guest officer, do you want to order a coffin?"
A middle-aged man with the appearance of a camel was painting a brand-new coffin with black paint. When Liu Ming came in, he was about to put the things in his hands, walked over and asked with a light cough.
Liu Ming glanced at the hump in front of him, did not say anything, but took out a shiny silver token from his sleeve and shook it in front of him.
Huozi, who had originally looked calm, quickly closed the store door when he saw this token's face changed drastically, and his figure suddenly swayed.
He then returned to Liu Ming in a flash, and drew out a black iron plate from his body.
Looking at the size and style, apart from the color, it looks very similar to the silver medal in Liu Ming's hand.
Liu Ming's eyebrows twitched, his wrist flicked, and he threw the silver medal over.
Seeing this, Huozi also solemnly threw out the black iron medal.
As soon as Liu Ming grasped the iron plate, he just glanced lightly, and poured some mana into it.
Immediately after a black pattern flashed on the iron plate, several weird black runes appeared on it.
After Liu Ming saw these runes clearly, he nodded and collected the mana. After the black iron plate aura was gathered, it was restored to its original state.
At this time, the hunchback took out a small bottle, poured out an unknown liquid from it and smeared it on the silver medal, and after carefully looking at the thing in his hand for a while, he threw the silver medal back with a sigh of relief.
"The identity of the envoy is correct. As a backup dark child, I thought I would never come into contact with people in the clan for the rest of my life."
"I'm a new monitoring envoy to Xuanjing, do you know about the disappearance of this sect's appointment as the monitoring envoy." Liu Ming also returned the black iron medal to the opponent, and asked with a constant expression.
"My lord, why use words to test! As a dark child in the clan, my original magic power has long been abolished. I don't usually inquire about anything at all, and I won't contact any spiritualists. I just live in Xuanjing as an ordinary person. . The only use is to provide someone like an adult with a channel to contact the clan at a critical time. Now that the adult came to me, it seems that the contact channel on the surface shouldn’t exist anymore.” Tuozi said slowly.
"Very well, you keep your duty very well. Otherwise, you may not be able to live until now." Liu Ming was not angry when he heard the words, but nodded in approval.
"My messenger, come with me. You can contact the magic circle in the clan, and it's buried deep underground. I will check it every other year, but the last time I used it was 20 years ago." He took a deep breath and said.
Liu Ming nodded, and followed him to the back of the shop.
After passing through a small courtyard, they walked into a seemingly ordinary wing room.
The area of this room is small, except for a bed, a table and two chairs, there is no furniture.
Huozi walked to the bed a few steps, and suddenly pulled a certain mechanism under the bed with both hands.
Immediately there was a "crack" sound in the wooden bed, and it opened slowly, which was divided into two from the middle, revealing a dark hole, and a simple stone staircase leading directly below it.
Huozi pulled out a fire fold from his waist, and after a sway in the wind, he ignited himself out of thin air, and walked down the stairs.
After Liu Ming's expression moved slightly, he followed closely.
Soon after the two walked in, the wooden bed that had been separated once again heard the sound of a switch, and it closed again on its own.
After Liu Ming and two walked down for about thirty feet, they finally came to a huge underground stone house.
In this stone house less than ten meters in size, there is a huge array on the ground, and the white spar that has been placed is inserted in the groove at the edge.
At the center of the magic circle, there is a round stone platform about ten feet high, with countless spiritual patterns printed on the surface, and it is also a small magic circle.
"This is the transmission method. Even so far apart, it is enough to transmit the information back to the clan in an instant, but the space spar consumed is also amazing. If conditions permit, the message should be as short as possible. How to use it, Master Envoy must have already learned it, I won't say much." Huozi said while standing outside the magic circle.
"Well, I did see some usage methods when I came here." Liu Ming looked at Shitai, frowned slightly, and slowly replied.
"In this case, I will guard it outside first. After the envoy is used up, I can come up by myself. Don't worry about the fluctuation of the circle will be discovered. This stone house is made of special materials, which is enough to absorb all the fluctuations. ." Tuozi nodded and said, and then went back up the stone steps really self-consciously.
Liu Ming turned around the magic circle for a few times before pinching the tactics with one hand, and several green lights ejected out, disappearing into the magic circle in a flash.
In an instant, the whole circle buzzed loudly, and the surrounding spirit patterns were shining one after another...
An hour later, Liu Ming left the coffin shop again, walked out of the alley calmly, and reappeared on the street.
For the rest of the time, he just wandered on the nearby streets.
When it was getting dark, he once again entered a remote alley, but when he came out from the other end, he became a 27-year-old young scholar again and walked slowly towards the Qian Mansion.
Early the next morning, Liu Ming, who had rested for the night, once again left the back door of the Qian Mansion.
This time, he hired a carriage directly on the street, and after giving an order to the coachman, he went straight to Xianxia Mountain.
Xianxia Mountain is different from the other hills outside Xuanjing. Xuanjing itself has some buildings built on the mountain, and the entire Xianxia Mountain is also owned by the imperial court. Not only is there a brigade of imperial soldiers stationed on the mountain, but also some vitality. The thickest place was directly allocated to the Golden Spirit-level guest officials who belonged to the imperial court.
The so-called Dongfu that can be rented is actually just the worst place on Xianxia Mountain.
That's it, the rental fees of these cave houses are also staggeringly expensive, enough to make ordinary casual repairs painful. Therefore, this kind of leasing business is not very good. There are really not many casual repairs living on Xianxia Mountain.
When Liu Ming stood in a hall on Xianxia Mountain and called for a long-term lease of a medium-grade cave mansion, a middle-aged steward who was standing in front of him was in charge of the matter and couldn't help but smile.
He immediately unfolded a landscape map marking the locations of various cave houses in front of Liu Ming, and let him choose all the available cave houses by himself.
Liu Ming looked at the map, asked casually about some places of interest, or nodded or shook his head, and finally chose a remote cave with a small river in front of it.
Under the leadership of the steward, he personally inspected the cave. After he was quite satisfied, he paid the rent of thousands of spiritual stones for one year, and then obtained the entry order from the cheerful steward. Card.
Almost all of these caves are set up with some simple magic circles. If there is no token, it will alarm the mountain patrol guards on the mountain, so compared to other places, this Xianxia Mountain is still a very stable place.
Liu Ming, who had left Xianxia Mountain, did not immediately return to the Qian Mansion, and continued to wander around Xuanjing for most of the day.
In the evening, when he returned to the Qian Mansion, there was already someone waiting in his residence.
