Pang Jian originally planned to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect to alert the mine envoys as soon as he arrived at the South Mine—the evil spirits who were afraid of robbing the ship would not dare to do anything.
But now, what he wants to investigate is obviously not about Xie Chong.
"Don't talk nonsense," Pang Jian told Xi Ping in advance, "You are a junior just getting started, just keep your mouth shut and ask questions. No one will chase you to find out anything. When you see the envoy in the mine, just say Due to the chaos caused by evil spirits, causing great disasters in the southern suburbs, Tianji Pavilion was ordered to go south to investigate the snow brewer and check the identity of the miners, so as to prevent evil spirits from being mixed into the spiritual mine."
Xi Ping said "yes" on the surface, with a cute appearance of "I listen to my brother", thinking: Does Xie Sui know what we are here for - I caught the wind.
This "impermanence one" is very interesting. First of all, he may not be a "Tai Sui believer", because he not only knows Liang Chen's true identity, but also knows that Liang Chen is carrying a special hidden bone, which can take away other people's bodies. If you can still believe the old background of "Tai Sui" so clearly, then Xi Pingjing is a man - he is more like Liang Chen's partner.
At the same time, Wuchangyi obviously also knew about the family thief colluding with foreign countries to steal spirit stones from the mine.
In other words, there are three groups of people with ulterior motives in the current Dawannan Mine: the first is the "family thief" who led the mine disaster and colluded with Nanshu. This is a group of thieves with a long history. They have become powerful in the mine, with big roots and deep roots.
The second is people who sensed something was wrong and secretly investigated the house thief, that is, those "fake evil spirits" who visited the Nanshu resident at night. Although there are foundation-building cultivators among these people, they are forced to do such an unsightly thing. It can be seen that their foundations are not deep.
The third wave is Tai Sui Liang Chen and his remaining evils. It's hard for others to tell, but Liang Chen and Wuchangyi obviously belonged to the "family thief" camp, and at the same time, they definitely didn't get any money from it. Not to mention credit everywhere, they even had a different heart, and began to collude with some muddy legs like Zhaoxue people.
Xi Ping stirred up Wei Chengxiang inside the evil spirit, and at the same time, let Wuchangyi get two pieces of information: one is that the identity of Taisui Liang Chen has been exposed at Tianji Pavilion, and Pang Jian is not a good person; "Xie Sui" has already touched the outline of the matter, and began to investigate the "house thief" secretly.
As for whether Wuchang will disclose the latter information to the "house thief" in a while
Xi Ping thinks he will: If he himself is "Impermanence One", he doesn't know that Pang Jian discovered the teleportation circle by accident, but only knows that the Tianji Pavilion is for him, then he will definitely send Pang Jian's magic circle to him. The purpose of coming here is to add fuel and jealousy to "Tianji Pavilion is here for the theft of Lingshi", so that the "house thief" is facing a big enemy, facing Tianji Pavilion and hiding himself.
Now in the whole game, the most ignorant is the "fake evil spirit", the "house thief" is facing a big enemy, and the "true evil spirit" thinks that everything is in the palm of his hand, and is ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Also, at that time, Liang Chen once said under the robbery bell that he had a "face" in his spiritual appearance. The master later explained to him what is called "fried noodles". Could this matter have something to do with the thief stealing the spirit stone
Is the envoy stationed in the mine commanding the entire South Mine a "family thief" or a helpless "fake evil spirit"
Who is Zhao Zhenwei who is going to escort Lingshi to the north
Xi Ping kept turning the cards in his mind, and at the same time, like a young man who had never seen the world, he followed Pang Jian and asked all kinds of things. Everything he saw was new.
The Residential Mission's Mansion has a "Southern taste", not as deep as Jinping's house, but as soon as you enter the door, you will see a sea of wisteria flowers blooming wildly due to the warmth of southern Xinjiang. Walking through the fragrant wind, the garden inside is surrounded by gardens, and the bees and butterflies are so busy that they don't know where to go. Xi Ping counted, from the moment he entered the door, Senior Brother Pang sneezed three times.
He was thinking to himself: Don't be a nympho, isn't the envoy in the mine
Then he saw the mine envoy in a peony garden, and Xi Ping thought: Bah, the flowers are not worthy.
The envoy in the mine was a female nun, and her thinly made-up face made Man Tingfang ashamed...Anyway, Xi Shizi, who scolded the girl for refusing her name and made the Hou Ye crawl all over the street suddenly became polite.
Even Pang Jian, who looked like a bandit, became a little more cautious, lowered his voice three times, and called out respectfully: "His Royal Highness Anyang."
Xi Ping came to a sudden: Oh, the Zhou family.
Sure enough, the senior sisters who can meet at the outer door are all princesses in all likelihood.
Dawan has a lot of restrictions on women. Even if there are female workers and businessmen in recent years, they have to be regarded by the Confucians as proof of the "decline of the world" and "the collapse of ritual and music". It seems that when a woman grows up, she can only make a living as a wife and a prostitute, and the rest are just a fig leaf for a prostitute.
This is why walking in the world can't bear loneliness, so I can only hide my name and make do with mortals in the mirror. It is almost impossible for them to find a Taoist partner among their colleagues—the recruitment posts are so rare, and the princes and grandchildren can't be separated, so how can there be a lady in the boudoir? We have to keep the marriage envoy. There are very few female disciples under the Xuanyin sect, either they are very talented and entered the inner sect early, or they come from extremely high backgrounds, where can they be climbed up.
Having said that, Xi Ping vaguely felt that the title "Anyang" sounded familiar...
"Pang Dao, you have worked hard all the way." Princess Anyang said politely, then looked at Xi Ping again, "Who is this?"
Xi Ping showed his most dog-like smile, and solemnly stepped forward to salute: "Hello, senior sister, I am..."
Before he could finish speaking, Princess Anyang saw the sword on his waist and said, "Your surname is Xi, is it Shiyong?"
Xi Ping twitched his brows, and said in his heart: My good name has spread so far
So he became more and more frantic and pretended: "Have you ever heard of me, senior sister? Well, I am lucky to have a one-day trip to Zun'er, regardless of whether I have a good reputation or a bad reputation."
Pang Jian glared at him in the shade: Pay attention to your face!
Seeing Princess Anyang smiled suddenly, the whole Peony Garden was dimmed, and said: "Oh, it's really you, and you've grown so tall. Is Jinjin okay?"
Xi Ping: "..."
"Jin Jin" is the boudoir name of Mrs. Cui, Xi Ping's mother. Beauty, this is not a normal chat angle, he has an ominous premonition.
Princess Anyang smiled and said: "When I was young, I went out to visit Cui Ji in modest clothes. I fell in love with a set of hairpins. After asking, I found out that it was Cui Ji's gift for my young lady. At that time, I was also arrogant and self-willed, so I insisted on buying it. It happened that Jinjin came to pick it up, and she hit it off with me immediately, and gave me the set of hairpins and the whole set of jewelry. She is talented, has a great temperament, and was best friends with me when she was young."
Xi Ping suddenly remembered, "Anyang" is not a princess, but the eldest princess—the sister of His Majesty today!
The eldest princess smiled kindly: "Don't call me Senior Sister, call me Aunt Qing."
Xi Ping thought that his romantic and suave smile hadn't faded away before being covered in "Aunt Qing".
Pang Jian lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders.
After a while, Xi Pingsheng accepted the meeting gift from the eldest princess without love: a small bag of Lingshi and a longevity lock.
Is there anything more rebooting in the world than longevity locks
Really, the eldest princess wrapped this broken thing in a red envelope, saying it was lucky money.
Xi Ping followed Pang Jian in all four empty spaces, listening to the two "elders" talk about the bombing case and the evil spirits in southern Xinjiang, lamenting how difficult the evil spirits are for the common people.
"It's nothing else," Pang Jian said calmly, "If there is a problem with the miners and the crew on the escort ship, it will be troublesome."
"Oh, so to speak, I have a terrible headache." People's expressions and attitudes tend to change with age. Zhou Qing looks like a girl, and she complains casually, with indescribable innocence and coquettishness. It is unimaginable that she has a brother with gray hair.
Pang Jian: "Is there any difficulty, Your Highness?"
Zhou Qing smiled wryly and said: "To be honest, brother, since I was transferred to the South Mine 20 years ago, it has never been difficult. Everyone said that I was not qualified enough to enter the inner sect, and I became the envoy of the mine because of my surname Zhou. .I have low qualifications, and I am a girl. The top ten managers in the mine treat me politely, but when they encounter problems, they don’t even listen to my orders, and they don’t even talk to me.”
Pang Jian and Xi Ping looked at each other secretly.
This aggrieved envoy in the mine came only twenty years ago, and he doesn't sound like a "house thief" with a deep background.
"I said earlier that Xuebrew is good, but Shi Xue is hallucinogenic, and mines should be strictly controlled, but they said that I don't eat human fireworks, don't understand the hard work of miners, and only know how to ruin others' livelihoods for my own reputation." Zhou Qing sighed, "I Brother Liang resigned, and there were frequent accidents on the escort ship. On the one hand, they accused me of being incompetent, and on the other hand, they prevented me from suspending the operation for a thorough investigation. ... Alas, I may indeed be incompetent, so I'll just transfer back to Qianxiu Temple to cultivate the rice boy."
Pang Jian thought for a while, and said: "There is no need to postpone the escort ship, let Shi Yong escort it with the ship, and I will stay at the mine to help His Highness thoroughly investigate the ghost."
"That's good," Zhou Qing had no objection to the second half of the sentence, and only cast hesitant eyes on Xi Ping, "Let Shiyong go by himself... can he do it?"
Xi Ping coughed dryly and subconsciously sat up straight.
Zhou Qing bit her lip, reached out her hand to find a spell, ignited her fingers, and said, "Please escort the admiral Zhao Zhenwei, senior soldier Lu Chengyi...and the mine manager, senior brother Lin Zhaoli, come and see me."
"Senior brother Lin is the only one who is willing to help me among the mine managers." Zhou Qing said, "It's just that he is old, and he was in decline due to injuries before, so he had to build a foundation on the mine forcibly, and now he is making up for it in the inner sect. After receiving the invitation order, it is almost time to leave the South Coal Mine. I will beg him one more time, let him go with the escort ship this time. In troubled times, there are foundation builders leading the formation, so it will be safer, and take care of the old man’s son for me by the way.”
Xi Ping: "..."
Anyway, the eldest princess just thinks he is unreliable.
But the foundation-building cultivator surnamed Lin...isn't he the black-clothed man who attracted fire by the spirit beast pool that day
From this point of view, Princess Anyang is indeed a member of the "fake evil spirits".
"It's not too late," Pang Jian said to Princess Anyang, "I think I'll go to the mine to see if His Highness can list the miners... Should the amount be recorded as borrowed?"
Zhou Qing, the resident manager of the mine, was really a loser, and she frowned when she heard the words: "I will try my best to ask the resident managers of the mine, if they want to push back..."
Pang Jian: "Just talk about the investigation of Tianji Pavilion, and those who obstruct it will be regarded as the same party as evil spirits."
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up, like a little girl who has obtained Shang Fang's sword: "In this case, we will all depend on senior brother!"
"Don't dare," Pang Jian cupped his hands, "Please ask Your Highness Xu Karma Beast to search for evil spirits along the South Mine formation."
Zhou Qing agreed straight away: "No problem."
Tianji Pavilion hit it off with the resident mine envoy who had been squeezed out on his own territory, and things went incredibly smoothly.
Xi Ping frowned secretly: I'm afraid it won't be that easy. The eldest princess was kept in the dark, but the "house thieves" should have been warned by Wuchangyi, and the traces must have been cleaned up.
I heard Zhou Qing lead them to the South Coal Mine and said: "When I heard that there was an accident in the southern suburbs of Jinping, I sent someone to investigate the snow wine merchant, but it was still a step too late. The evil spirit who played tricks in the snow wine has already run away Oh, it was someone else's identity document that was used in the first place... The evil spirits are full of tricks in disguise, it is really impossible for them to get in and find out."
"Identity is easy to talk about," Pang Jian said, and before Xi Ping stopped him, he took out the "mirror of invisible light".
Xi Ping: "..."
Brother! The "mirror without light" means that he can't see the light, so how can he secretly check the evil's real name when he is so exposed in broad daylight!
But this matter is now his biggest secret. It cannot be said that Xi Ping has not been able to stop Pang Jian.
At this moment, Wei Chengxiang's voice suddenly came from Xi Ping Lingtai: "Uncle, can you control the reincarnation tree?"
Xi Ping's eyes flashed.
Sitting in front of Wei Chengxiang was a middle-aged man who was ordered by "Wu Chang Yi" to settle her down.
The man called himself "Old Nine" and he looked like a doughnut, and he might not be using his real face. A pair of small eyes glistened, and he said respectfully and politely to Wei Chengxiang: "Since Tai Sui no longer sends oracles, we can no longer use the reincarnated wood to send messages to each other, and even this time to contact the saint, we have to rely on outsiders. "
Xi Ping immediately said: "I don't know how to do that, don't pick up the words—just say... can the saintess be contacted casually? They don't deserve it."
Wei Chengxiang was already used to his domineering style of "anti-customer first" everywhere, so he put on a cold face and said nothing, arrogantly examining the white-faced man in front of him.
The old nine rolled his eyes, and smiled flatteringly: "We who have no call are naturally unworthy to talk to the saint. It's just that senior 'one' is in the mine, and it is inconvenient to go in and out, and he often has important matters to ask Tai Sui and the saint. Report. May I ask Tai Sui to pardon him for using the reincarnation wood to communicate with the saint?"
There is no way to say "he is not worthy" to refuse.
Wei Chengxiang gritted his teeth secretly, racking his brains to figure out how to deal with it.
Then Lao Jiu said again: "A senior said that Tai Sui knew about him and would definitely agree."
Wei Chengxiang: "..."
Xi Ping: "..."
Tests always come unexpectedly.
Wei Cheng's throat was dry, and he couldn't help avoiding the white-faced man's eyes: "Tai Sui said..."
At this moment, the palm of Xi Ping's left hand suddenly felt slightly warm, and he called Wei Cheng, "Wait."
He looked up and saw three men walking towards this side.
At the same time, through the invisible mirror, Pang Jian saw that the name on the head of the square-faced man was a vague "Lin", which was the foundation building at the edge of the spirit beast pool that day.
Of the other two, one is very young—not only his face, but also his appearance. Bu Guangjing revealed his name faithfully: Zhao Zhenwei.
The scribe who wore the last one was already showing signs of decay, his skin and flesh were loose, and he looked like a middle-aged man.
Xi Ping didn't bother to look at Zhao Zhenwei for a while, and directly met the eyes of the middle-aged man, who smiled at him calmly, and the feeling in Xi Ping's left palm became more obvious.
What does this mean
Xi Ping's thoughts turned very quickly, and he said to Wei Chengxiang in Reincarnation Wood: "You tell that old nine, just say that as soon as Wuchang finishes dealing with the people in Tianji Pavilion, I will make arrangements."
Wei Chengxiang calmed down and told the story according to his words. The old nine was taken aback, and the doubts in his eyes immediately dissipated. He almost asked in a low voice, "How does the saint know... Mr. Yi went to Tantianji Pavilion?"
Wei Chengxiang drew inferences from one example, this time without waiting for Xi Ping to teach him, he put on a face of "you don't deserve to know".
On the other side, Xi Ping put the tip of his tongue against the upper gum so that he didn't show any abnormality - Wuchangyi, I've caught you.
"Senior brother Lin!" Zhou Qing hurriedly got up and introduced to everyone.
When you click on Zhao Zhenwei, Xi Ping's smile is as bright as brothers who have been separated for many years reunited. When you click on the middle-aged man, Xi Ping is like an orphan who has been homeless for half his life and found his father.
"This is Brother Lu," Zhou Qing said, "He is also an old man in the mine, and he has been running with the escort ship."
"Don't dare, my subordinate, Lu Chengyi, has seen the two envoys of Jinping."
Xi Ping gently clasped the palm of his left hand, and thought: "Lu Chengyi."
The next moment, there was a strange perspective between his brows—Xi Ping, the "Tai Sui", seemed to be the eyes behind Lu Chengyi's back, watching the ignorant "believers" condescendingly from another angle.
