Chapter 141 Fierce Fight(1/4)
After the ninth-level monk of the Foundation Establishment made the final decision, the other three people were all shocked and started arranging and discussing specific actions.
They have made various plans for different situations.
Plan one, plan two, plan three...
The main thing is a profession.
After Meng Zhou heard the general idea, he didn't stay any longer and silently left the teahouse and returned to Zhuangtianzhuang.
The black market transaction lasted for three or four hours from start to finish. It was only around noon now, and there was still some time before the actions of several people.
After returning home, Meng Zhou began to practice the River Burning Technique seriously until the sun set in the west and the sky was getting dark. Then he suspended his practice, returned to the quiet room, adjusted his breath, and restored his magic power to its peak.
Meng Zhou's consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness and he observed the surrounding situation through the moon mirror.
Since the viewing radius of the moon mirror was increased from ten miles to twenty miles, the scene inside the moon mirror suddenly became richer.
Before this promotion, within a radius of ten miles, except for his farm and the thousand-acre spiritual field, the rest of the area was a deserted land.
Now, there are four new landowners who came after him and Lu Quan, and their newly built courtyards and newly reclaimed spiritual fields are all within a dozen miles of him.
As long as he is willing, everything that happens in these farms will be under his observation.
Including the daily routine of the landowners of Ji Zhuang Village, there is no secret from him.
However, it is somewhat regrettable that because Lu Quan arrived earlier, the location of his farmland was 22 miles away from Meng Zhou's courtyard, which was just beyond the viewing range of the moon mirror.
——The Sanchuan Plateau spiritual veins cover a total area of about 300,000 square kilometers (equivalent to the two provinces of Shanxi and Shandong), but the surrounding areas are all first-level spiritual lands. There are exactly ten second-level spiritual lands suitable for foundation-building monks to settle and cultivate.
About 50,000 square kilometers (equivalent to one area in Shanxi Province).
Landlords like to be quiet and comfortable, do not like to disturb others, and are not often disturbed by others.
Therefore, when choosing a place to live, you will try to keep a distance from other villages that have already arrived. However, as more and more newcomers come to build foundations, the places of residence will inevitably become closer and closer, and the density of foundation building will become higher and higher.
…
"But it's better to go out."
It is certainly better to squat at home and watch the "live broadcast" through the moon mirror, but if the distance is too far, the sense of control will always be much lower.
And there is no guarantee that someone will touch the "signal" and reverse it. If you expose yourself for this reason, it would be really unfair.
Therefore, after adjusting his condition, Meng Zhou made some fine adjustments to his body shape, mana and soul fluctuations. After completing all this, he used Earth Escape to quietly escape from the underground.
Left the courtyard.
Twenty or thirty meters below the surface, Meng Zhou's figure seemed to have completely melted into the earth.
Except for a very subtle and very obscure aura flowing rapidly underground, people suspected that his traces had completely disappeared from this world.
After quickly escaping from Zhuangtianzhuang, Meng Zhou did not approach Lu Quan's Lujiazhuang directly. Instead, he made a circle in the distance and quietly approached Lujiazhuang from another direction.
Although Lu Quan has only been here for more than a year, both the courtyard and the spiritual field were all newly built and opened up after he came here.
But the courtyard area alone was much larger than the farmland Meng Zhou inherited. He occupied a lot of it himself, and a large area was used to house the servants who practiced Qi.
But there are not many Qi-training servants who actually live here permanently, and many rooms have been vacant since the day they were built.
Meng Zhou's figure emerged silently from an empty room - it's not that he didn't want to stay underground all the time, it was just that every minute and every second he spent underground consumed a lot of mana.
And when he came up from the underground and found himself in this dark room with closed doors and windows, Earth Escape switched to invisibility, and his figure quickly disappeared in this space.
No trace of him could be found.
However, the mana consumption in this state was much smaller than staying underground. Meng Zhou even took the opportunity to slowly recover the mana consumed by the earth escape.
Time passed, and the sky outside turned completely dark. After a long time, Meng Zhou, who was sitting cross-legged invisibly, closing his eyes and regulating his breath in the dark room, slowly opened his eyes.
"Is it almost there?"
Meng Zhou was thinking this in his mind. At this moment, the time for the four of them to take action was getting closer and closer.
Meng Zhou's consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness, and all his attention was devoted to the bright moon at the bottom of the pond.
At this moment, the bright moon is like a mirror, clearly reflecting a courtyard covering an area of three or four acres.
The formation, which has the effect of covering and shielding, is of no help at all when faced with the prying eyes of the moon mirror.
In the courtyard, there was a huge quiet room. Through the mana fluctuations spreading from it, Meng Zhou guessed that Lu Quan was trying out the newly picked up alchemy tripod.
Meng Zhou no longer focused on Lu Shen, but looked elsewhere in the courtyard.
It can be seen that Lu Quan has a much more interesting life than him. This larger courtyard has more various layouts, which requires a lot of ingenuity.
There are also spiritual plants planted, including large-scale adult plants and seedlings that have been cultivated in spiritual seed state.
After looking around, under his command, the moon mirror focused all of its "lenses" on a clump of thin bamboo with thick, green leaves.
He gained "communication" with this dense green bamboo through the heart of nature. As his communication with this green bamboo deepened, the bamboo began to sway bit by bit regularly.
With each swing, the bamboo leaves draw an arc in the air. As the swing becomes larger and larger, the sound of these bamboo leaves cutting through the air becomes louder, and the movement becomes louder.
At a certain moment, when these bamboo leaves cut through the air, they made a strange whistle sound, like the collision of swords, like an iron horse.
Meng Zhou interrupted communication with the thin bamboo, and the field of vision in the moon mirror expanded to the entire courtyard again.
Soon, Lu Quan's figure was seen flashing out of the quiet room, and in two or three steps he came to the thin bamboo bush that was still swaying.
He stared at the thin bamboo that was swaying for no reason, his brows furrowed and his face solemn.
The courtyard was protected by a formation, there was no wind, and he didn't raise any spiritual beasts. It was impossible for them to move on their own.
What's more, the harsh and sharp sound he heard just now could actually penetrate the walls of the quiet room.
It's hard to believe that it came from nature.
But he stood here and looked at it for a long time. Except for the abnormal swing of the thin bamboo itself, everything was normal.
He frowned and observed for a while, but found nothing. At that moment, a pungent smell wafted out of the quiet room. His expression changed and he hurried back to the quiet room.
Upon seeing this, Meng Zhou contacted Xizhu again, causing Xizhu, which had gradually stabilized, to swing again, and the movements became more and more violent.
Soon, the thin bamboo leaves once again made a shrill whistle, like pieces of iron that were hitting and rubbing against each other.
"Bang——"
Only a dull explosion was heard in the quiet room, and a furious, gray-faced figure flashed out of the quiet room and came to the clump of thin bamboos again.
This person is naturally Lu Quan, and his appearance at this moment is very common for alchemists, weapon refiners, and even alchemy masters.
Failure and failure are daily occurrences for them.
However, Lu Quan's demeanor at this moment was obviously not like this. He was bulging with anger, standing in front of the thin bamboo with his fists clenched, as if he was about to burst out at any time, and wipe out the clump of thin bamboo in front of him.
But he still suppressed his anger and asked: "I don't know who the senior is, why do you want to tease me like this?"
No one answered.
Lu Quan waited for a while and said in a deep voice again: "Senior, is he an expert from the Qingxuan Sect?"
His voice suddenly became much lower, but he bowed and saluted with utmost sincerity.
"Senior Rong, although this kid comes from the Alchemy Sect, he has not done anything to harm the Qingxuan Sect since he entered the Qingxuan Domain."
No one answered him.
He just talked to himself in front of a clump of thin bamboos for a while. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he finally stood up straight again, but his expression was very ugly.
After a while, he took one last look at the thin bamboo clump in front of him, and then turned around again and returned to the quiet room.
Not long after, the magic weapon fluctuations of the alchemy furnace spread out steadily in the quiet room again. It seemed that Lu Quan was once again guarding the alchemy furnace.
Meng Zhou did not continue to shake the thin bamboo clump, but instead focused all his attention on the side.
Through the moon mirror, he clearly saw a group of black spots sneaking out of the quiet room.
He was squatting there motionless in an open space not far from the thin bamboo.
Compared with the last time when the soul refining method had not yet broken through the master, the moon mirror could see it more clearly this time, and it was easier to find it from the natural environment.
After Lu Quan entered the quiet room, he was not so big-hearted that he continued to ignore the matter. Instead, he covered himself with the natal magic weapon that was good at stealth effects.
Then, he quietly slipped out of the quiet room and squatted motionless not far from the thin bamboo bushes.
This is obviously a gesture of trying to catch stolen goods on the spot.
Meng Zhou thought to himself that if he didn't figure out what happened, he probably wouldn't be able to practice at ease.
And this is exactly the effect Meng Zhou wanted.
He didn't want Lu Quan to die in Sanchuan Plain like this inexplicably.
Especially now that many people know that "Zhuang Sheng" himself is relatively close to Lu Quan and they are neighbors. If something unexpected happens to him, someone will inevitably come to him to investigate and collect evidence.
Meng Zhou didn't know what kind of variables would arise if things really happened to this point. His idea was to try to prevent this from happening.
But it was impossible for him to directly step forward to block the disaster for Lu Quan. Moreover, if he blocked it this time, what about next time? What about the next time?
He doesn't want to be a nanny for the other party.
He even wants to avoid appearing directly in front of the opponent. There are endless methods in the spiritual world and it is difficult to guard against them. The best way is to be cautious.
Therefore, he decided to use this method to warn the other party.
To be continued...
