When Jiang Xia slowly walked from the Mo Shuang Mountain Gate to the small town at the foot of the mountain as if he was on a picnic, Ruyue and Gu Miao were already waiting for him at the inn in the town.
They were drinking tea in the private room upstairs, and no one was watching.
This small town is built at the foot of Mo Shuang Mountain.
Although it is rare to see cultivators from Mo Shuang Mountain go down the mountain, the residents here have seen many other cultivators coming and going, probably because the teleportation array of this town is right between the Southern Wilderness and the Eastern Land.
Because the veins of the two places are intertwined, cultivators who travel between the two places using the teleportation array must transit here.
Therefore, the shops in this small town have already mastered the business rules on how to serve the monks, and the private rooms in the inn are also decorated in a dignified and elegant style, without any vulgar painted murals.
Instead, some legends from spiritual practice stories were used.
The paintings of the Taoist crossing the sea, the Goddess Xixin preaching, the battle to eliminate demons, the spiritual tide of Zhongzhou and so on were all beautifully done and displayed on the screen in the private room, very elegant.
The tea used is also good.
They are all picked from the mountains, and are warmed and moistened by spiritual energy all year round, giving them a unique flavor when you drink them.
"Why are you still pouting?"
Jiang Xia entered the private room and saw Gu Miao sitting on a chair, pouting and looking unhappy.
She still had her signature bun tied with a red silk scarf.
The whole look of him is like a little Nezha, which makes Jiang Xia feel very friendly.
"I don't want to leave the mountain."
Gu Miao said weakly and sullenly:
“After getting used to the rich spiritual energy of Mo Shuang Mountain, I felt lazy and uncomfortable after coming down the mountain, just like a fish out of water.
Jasmine is also busy and can't come down the mountain to play with me. It's so boring."
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
Lao Jiang sat on the chair. Ruyue immediately poured him a cup of tea. He said to Gu Miao:
“The outer sect rules will be implemented soon. As outer sect disciples, Jasmine and the others will also need to go down the mountain to Kunlun Square in Fengyang County from time to time to accept rewards and accumulate contributions.
Just wait for her in the county town, your playmate will be here soon."
"Ah? Really?"
Gu Miao suddenly became full of energy, and a smile appeared on her round face with baby fat. She took out a Mo Shuangshan standard wooden box from her ring secretly as if offering a treasure, and pushed it in front of Jiang Xia.
Lao Jiang took a sip of tea, opened the wooden box for a moment, saw what was inside, nodded with satisfaction, closed it again, and threw it into his ring.
An inactive star array.
There is still some scale on the surface from being in water for a long time.
It looks very quaint.
It was this thing that caused trouble for Gu Miao and forced the girl to flee across the entire Ku Mu Territory. For her, this was undoubtedly a hot potato.
Now that he had been exchanged for the magic weapon that his boss had not given him yet, Gu Miao couldn't be happier.
"The Fiery Sun Seal is promised to you."
Jiang Xia said to Gu Miao, who was looking at him with shining eyes:
"But it's not ready yet. I'm familiarizing myself with the steps. Once I'm done, I'll give you one."
"Okay, okay."
Gu Miao said with a smile:
"I can wait, but you have to hurry up, boss. I have seen the Fiery Sun Seal before, it is very powerful, but I don't have your mechanical hand.
When that magic weapon is used, it generates incredible heat, like the blazing sun in the sky. My mortal body cannot withstand it.
If you get burned every time you use it, why bother?"
Hearing the girl's complaint, Jiang Xia shook his head.
He took out a rolled-up blueprint from his ring, threw it to Gu Miao, and said seriously:
"Elder Shi Yan... well, Master asked me to take you down the mountain and supervise your practice. I can't let you play around all day and waste time. This is the blueprint of the Qi training realm magic weapon that I copied from the Cangqi Pavilion.
It is called 'Red Cloud Hand'.
After putting it on, ordinary fire spells cannot hurt you. It also has the ability to control fire, isolate heat, and hurt people with fierce fire.
If you want to use the Fiery Sun Seal, you must first make the Red Cloud Hand.
This is my first assignment for you.
"When I make the Blazing Sun Seal, if you haven't made the Red Cloud Hand by yourself, then the magic weapon will be with me first, do you understand?"
"Oh, I see."
Gu Miaola shrugged and took the drawing.
This is normal.
Naughty kids don’t like doing homework.
After Lao Jiang and Gu Miao finished talking, Ruyue handed a ring to the boss and said:
“This was some time ago. I followed Master’s instructions and went to the Gold and Stone Realm to look for some high-quality stone and iron materials. I took some myself.
Boss, please take a look at the remaining ones to see if they are suitable for your use."
Jiang Xia smiled , put away the ring, stretched his shoulders, and said:
"I'm not a professional in materials science, and these are not prepared for me. Lao Luo will help us select the best ones. Now, let's not delay.
Let’s go back to the county town first and settle down, then we can talk about other things.”
"Um."
Kisaragi nodded.
Gu Miao beside him tilted his head and asked:
"Who is Lao Luo? He sounds very powerful."
"Don't ask."
Ruyue glanced at her and then pulled Gu Miao up.
The three of them walked out of the inn and used the town's teleportation array to instantly return to the familiar Fengyang County City. When they walked out of the hall where the teleportation array was located, two black, low-key carriages were already waiting at the street corner.
There was a Kunlunfang emblem on the carriage.
There's nothing fancy about it, just two simple words, but they were written by a master calligrapher from Fengming Junior High School. The handwriting is strong and powerful, revealing a sharp edge.
When the fourth brother, who was driving the first car, saw Jiang Xia and the other two walking out of the hall, his eyes lit up. He jumped off the car, walked over quickly, and bowed to Jiang Xia very respectfully.
"Welcome home, boss!"
There was a hint of joy in his tone.
"You are already the head shopkeeper, why did you drive here in person? Don't you care about the reputation of Kunlunfang?"
When Lao Jiang saw Lao Si, he was happy, but he still scolded him with a stern face.
The fourth brother chuckled, led the boss to the carriage, and explained:
"To be honest with you, boss, I am just trying to look respectful in front of you. The real driver is eating and drinking at a street stall.
Boss, do you want to go back to your house to rest first? Or go directly to Fengshan?"
"Go back to your house first."
Jiang Xia very gentlemanly sent Ruyue into the second carriage, then grabbed Gu Miao's arm and threw her in, then said to the fourth brother:
"I will stay in the county town for a few days to receive a distinguished guest. You go and tidy up the big garden and prepare the utensils for the distinguished guest.
After this matter is over, I will go to Fengshan again.
I heard that Shi Liu is planning to do something big recently?"
"Um."
Lao Si also got on the carriage and called back the driver from the street next to him. He and Jiang Xia sat in the luxuriously decorated carriage. He said to the boss:
"Inspector Shi Liu and his brothers have been working diligently, and with the help of Governor Hong, they have already seized the evidence of the local scattered cultivators' disorder, and are currently searching for evidence in the four borders of Fengming Country.
Once there is sufficient evidence, it will be reported to the Immortal Alliance.
I met Supervisor Pomegranate in Fengshan a few days ago. He boasted to me that he had caught Taoist Yunhuo this time and would investigate further and do something big.
We must wipe out all the local cultivation villains in one fell swoop."
"Hmm? That silly pomegranate can't control his mouth and spreads such a secret thing around?"
Jiang Xia frowned immediately.
He remembered Chu Qiao's warning to him when he was leaving the mountain gate, saying that there were evil cultivators gathering in the area. Could it be that it was because of Shi Liu's actions?
"So how does it plan to do that?"
Jiang Xia asked.
The fourth brother immediately replied:
"Inspector Pomegranate said that he was going to Gyeonggi Province soon. He said that Governor Hong gave him some information. If he could find it, the evil person who harmed our employee Wutong would not be able to escape."
"Um."
Jiang Xia nodded.
The next thing they did was chat about family matters. When they heard that the fourth brother had married Mrs. Niu, Old Jiang congratulated them and said a few festive words, such as "May you have a baby soon."
The fourth brother looked very proud after hearing this.
But just as the stable carriage drove away from the corner of the street, Jiang Xia, who was chatting with Lao Si, suddenly reached out and grabbed Lao Si under his feet.
"Bang"
There was a loud bang.
With the roar of sonic boom, pale bone arrows shot from the front, blew the head of the horse pulling the carriage, and then smashed into the carriage like a war hammer amid flying blood and flesh.
The bone arrow carried enormous force and a strange spell. The moment it hit the carriage, it exploded like a bomb.
With a loud bang, the entire carriage was blown up.
The car in front was attacked, and the car behind was unable to escape.
Three or four figures who had been hiding in the houses on both sides with strange skills, covered in golden sharp aura, silently pounced on the carriage.
Gu Miao screamed in the car. As soon as the leading assassin rushed into the car, he saw a black gun muzzle in front of him, and a beautiful and quiet girl was sitting in the car.
The large-caliber hunting pistol emitting a cold light was held firmly in her palm.
Spiritual energy poured in and the talisman lit up.
"Bang"
With a low roar, the exploding magic-destroying bomb pushed a headless corpse out of the carriage at an even faster speed and hit the ground.
Stained with large traces of blood and flesh.
Another smoke bomb was thrown by Ruyue next to the car. The air was filled with smoke for a moment , and then the sound of an assault rifle exploded from the smoke.
On the front side, the large carriage had been shattered into pieces.
But the fourth man in the carriage and the frightened coachman were unharmed. Lao Jiang held a black oil-paper umbrella with the umbrella open, and a white spiritual shield was swaying, protecting the two mortals behind him.
When the umbrella was closed, there was another sonic boom in front.
Another killing bone arrow emitting red light shot towards the fourth man beside Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia instantly waved his left hand and caught it accurately in front of him.
The magical power of controlling electricity was activated, and blue-purple arcs of electricity poured into the bone arrow.
It destroyed the blood-patterned talisman array engraved on it both delicately and brutally, and forcibly suppressed its second stage explosion.
Playing with magic tools in front of Mo Shuang Shanren...
Haha, you are overestimating your own abilities!
When the hidden attacker saw the tough guy coming, he let out a whistle, and several figures fled to the back, startling a flock of pigeons.
"Snap"
Jiang Xia threw a heavy upgraded M107 engraved with ink symbols to the fourth brother, who took it and pulled the safety button with a gloomy face.
Boss Jiang held the umbrella in his hand, looked at the assassin fleeing in front of him, and said to the fourth brother in a gentle tone:
"He's coming for you. The attacker has just started practicing Qi and is just using his magic weapon to hurt people. I'll leave it to you. Is that ok?"
"Boss, please go back to the house and wait for a while."
The fourth brother was greatly embarrassed and felt unhappy. He moved the five fingers of his left hand, and the pupil of his left eye lit up slightly. He said to Jiang Xia:
"Let's see our men defeat the enemy!"
After saying that, the fourth brother whistled.
Kunlunfang guards disguised as pedestrians immediately appeared all around, each holding a long and short gun, and followed the murderous shopkeeper, chasing in the direction the attacker fled.
Lao Jiang looked back and saw Ruyue shooting the last attacker in the head.
These evil cultivators, who were almost legends in the East in the past and were rarely seen, actually carried out assassinations in broad daylight today. It seems that Chu Qiao's advice was reasonable.
Jiang Xia looked at the blood flowers exploding on the ground and narrowed his eyes slightly.
What did you find out about Pomegranate?
Isn't this stirring up a hornet's nest?
