A thin middle-aged man asked with a smile: "Everyone, do you know what we are transporting?"
He has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, which exudes vulgarity.
Everyone looked over one after another, sizing up the long pillar beside them, and finally shook their heads.
Of course they understood the meaning of this question.
Even though it was tightly packed, it was impossible to hide it from them.
This is indeed a stone pillar, made of a material similar to white jade.
But if it was said to be white jade, they wouldn't believe it.
There are many types of jade, with different values. There are too many stones similar to white jade. If it were really valuable jade, it would not be possible to make such a long one.
So what he just asked was not what this thing was, but what kind of magic it was used for.
"According to my guess, this is probably really carved from white jade." A dignified middle-aged man with a round face said, stroking his beard.
"Old Tang, you really dare to say and think!" The wretched middle-aged man chuckled and said: "If it is really white jade, how much is it worth? How can we transport it?"
If it is really white jade, the value of this white jade pillar is immeasurable.
How can a person with such a worth be so powerless? Why would he need to ask a horse gang to transport him? Wouldn't it be safer to just let his own guards transport him?
Therefore, this stone pillar is not that important or valuable. It is most likely a decorative object.
"By the way, are we going to send it...?"
"After entering the city, someone will pick us up." Hall Master Huang said calmly: "It is not a good thing to know too much about the master's family."
"It's so mysterious and a bit weird."
"That's right."
"Maybe there is something wrong with the origin of this stone pillar?"
"What is the problem?"
"Anyway, it shouldn't be an ordinary stone pillar." The wretched middle-aged man chuckled and said, "It must be of extraordinary value."
"Okay, Lao Zeng, do you still want to swallow it?" Someone said with a smile: "It's too late to swallow it, it's already here!"
"I thought it was nothing at first, but now I think it's valuable." The wretched middle-aged man chuckled and said, "If it's really white jade, let's break it into pieces and give each of us a piece. It'll be enough for this life, and we don't have to do anything.
."
"Old Zeng, have sweet dreams."
"Don't you think about it, if you really do this, can you really escape?"
"Alas——!" Lao Zeng shook his head and sighed: "What a pity..."
They talked a lot, laughed and had a good time.
They knew very well that if they really broke the rules and divided up the transport, not to mention the owner of the stone pillar, even the caravan would not give up. They would definitely hunt him down endlessly, and they would never have a good life.
"Be careful!" Hall Master Huang shouted: "Be on guard!"
Everyone stood up immediately, drawing or unsheathing their swords, raising their palms or clenching their fists. Their whole bodies were tense and they were already on alert.
Their eyes were bright, their backs were leaning against each other, and they were looking in all directions.
"Who is that person?" Huang Hall Master Huang Yingqun shouted in a deep voice: "If you are a friend, please retreat. If you want to cause trouble, why bother hiding!"
He is thin and has an ordinary appearance. He really doesn't look like the leader of the family. He is extremely ordinary.
But he has a keen intuition that far exceeds that of others.
This intuition allowed him to avoid danger again and again.
No one else noticed that someone was approaching, but he had already noticed it. He didn't see it with his eyes, but he felt it with his mind.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction of his gaze.
The quiet woods seemed to be completely at rest under the moonlight, without a sound.
There was originally no movement in the winter woods, but being so quiet still made them feel unusual.
Huang Yingqun said in a deep voice: "Since we won't come out, then we'll leave."
White clothes flashed, and six men in white floated out of the woods and landed ten meters opposite them.
Their bodies are as graceful as cranes and as light as feathers.
The person in charge was a handsome middle-aged man, holding a white jade folding fan in his hand, looking at the twelve people in front of him with a smile.
Huang Yingqun's heart sank.
Several of them felt their hearts sinking, feeling that something was wrong. The six guys in front of them were far better than themselves in cultivation.
Although there are twelve of them, they have a numerical advantage, but their cultivation levels are too far apart, and they may be in trouble.
As a caravan, it is their duty to transport items and protect them, but they do not have the rule that things should survive and people should die first.
If you really want to lose, then just turn around and leave, and then find a way to take it back later, don't show off.
Otherwise it would have been wiped out long ago.
It's too easy to run into masters of robbery when running things. Don't do anything and don't force it. Your whole body comes first.
"I wonder who this person is?" Huang Yingqun was already ready to retreat and give up.
Even if this pillar is really carved from white jade and is priceless, it is not as important as saving the lives of the brothers in his gang.
"Whoa!" Junyi, a middle-aged man, swung his folding fan, flapped it gently, and said with a smile: "You don't need to know our identities. This is for your own good, so as not to kill people and silence us, right?"
"We are derelict in our duty if we don't know the identity of the plunderers." Huang Yingqun said, "Are you afraid?"
"Haha..." Junyi, a middle-aged man, shook his head and said with a smile: "Kill you, the people in your gang can know our identities through the scars, right?"
"...Very good." Huang Yingqun said solemnly: "In that case, I'll take my leave!...But I'm curious about one thing."
"I like a sensible person like you, let's talk about it."
"Who is the owner of this stone pillar?"
"...You don't know?"
"I don't know."
"It's better not to know." Junyi, a middle-aged man, shook his head with a smile: "If you know, it will only increase your worries!"
"...Okay." Huang Yingqun nodded slowly: "Then let's say goodbye!"
He turned around and waved his hand.
Everyone nodded silently, then maintained their original direction and slowly retreated, still on alert.
They must be on guard against others, and they must be prepared for the six people to suddenly attack.
At this time, Lin Feiyang and Fu Qinghe, standing in the shadows, shook their heads helplessly.
The abbot even specially sent two of them here to prevent the caravan from suffering heavy losses and causing their own deaths.
I'm afraid the abbot never expected that these guys from the caravan would be so slick, so caring about their lives, and would not fight anyone head-on.
If something goes wrong, retreat immediately.
No wonder they are called caravans. They can only carry items. We can't expect them to protect the items.
Huang Yingqun and the others withdrew far away, then ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, you're quite interesting!" Junyi, a middle-aged man, shook his folding fan, shook his head and said with a smile, "No wonder I'm alive to this day."
"Altar Master," a middle-aged man with a round face asked, "in order to avoid long nights and dreams, why don't you move out now?"
"There's no rush." Junyi, a middle-aged man, shook his head and smiled: "It's just dark now, at least no one will come tomorrow."
"But……"
"There is no but!" Junyi, a middle-aged man, said with a smile: "Now we must first find out whether there is any trouble and clear the head and tail."
He pointed at the stone pillar with his folding fan: "Open it. Check it carefully to see if there are any marks on it."
"yes."
Everyone agreed and took action one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the white jade-carved soul pillar reappeared under the moonlight, as if it was absorbing the moonlight, emitting a misty white light, with a warm and moist luster that circulated endlessly. You could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary thing.
"It is indeed the soul-suppressing pillar!" Junyi, a middle-aged man, sighed with emotion, caressing it gently, showing an intoxicated look: "I finally found you!"
Others checked the white jade pillar one after another and circulated it with Gang Qi. After everyone tried it, they reported: "Altar Master, it's okay. There are no marks on it. We can take it away with confidence."
"Take it away." Junyi, a middle-aged man, waved his folding fan: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, I can't wait!"
"Yes." Everyone agreed, and four people lifted up the white jade pillar and floated away.
Lin Feiyang and Fu Qinghe looked at each other and waited until they were far away before following them, staying far behind.
——
Fakong smiled.
"Senior brother?" Ning Zhenzhen saw him smiling, and couldn't help but smile too, and asked curiously: "Anything gained over there?"
"I caught a fish." Fa Kong said with a smile, "I'm really lucky."
"Then congratulations, senior brother." Ning Zhenzhen smiled sweetly and said, "Why don't you go now?"
Fakong said: "We can't do anything now. We'll wait and see where they take it."
If there are other soul-suppressing pillars, then this soul-suppressing pillar will probably be brought to the other soul-suppressing pillars.
Use the soul-suppressing pillar to seduce the soul-suppressing pillar, like attracts like.
——
Fu Qinghe and Lin Feiyang were walking in a fluttering way.
"Should we take action?" Fu Qinghe whispered.
Lin Feiyang said: "The abbot has given instructions. If they don't want to kill the caravan, they don't need to do anything. They just need to follow."
"Are we going to follow them to their lair?"
"exactly."
"Why is this?" Fu Qinghe was puzzled.
Lin Feiyang shook his head: "Just follow the abbot's instructions. There is no need to ask why."
He also felt baffled, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Fakong asked the two of them to follow him just for positioning. The Soul-Suppressing Pillar has the magical effect of distorting time and space and blurring the secrets of heaven.
The clairvoyant can't see it clearly from a distance, and there's no way to coordinate it in the void, so other markers are needed.
He deliberately did not explain the mystery clearly.
It is more mysterious and less understood by others, which is only beneficial. Even Lin Feiyang, Fu Qinghe and the others, Fakong followed this principle.
——
"Senior brother, are you going to raid their lair?" Ning Zhenzhen understood Fakong's plan immediately.
Fa Kong smiled and nodded.
He raised his eyebrows: "They are actually outside Shenjing City, they are really close enough."
At such a close distance, I could not detect the aura of the Soul Suppressing Pillar. It was indeed a Soul Suppressing Pillar.
"Junior sister, I'm coming over."
"I'll go over and have a look too." Ning Zhen was unbearably curious.
The matters regarding the Jade Butterfly Sect have to wait until dawn, there is no point in hurrying.
"Let's go," Fakong said.
The two of them walked swiftly and soon left the city.
After leaving the city, we went straight south and ran for thirty miles in one breath to reach a majestic peak.
This mountain peak looks inaccessible.
They came to the pine forest halfway up the mountain and came to Lin Feiyang and Fu Qinghe.
Lin Feiyang and Fu Qinghe's eyes were involuntarily drawn to Ning Zhenzhen.
Ning Zhenzhen had restored her original appearance, and her beautiful face was even more beautiful under the moonlight, which made Lin Feiyang and Fu Qinghe stunned.
"Miss Ning." Lin Feiyang looked at her in surprise.
Ning Zhenzhen smiled and nodded.
Lin Feiyang wanted to speak, but he shut his mouth wisely and looked at Fakong: "Abbott, they will be there after they go in."
He pointed toward the mouth of the valley beyond the woods.
