Li Jingxi stared with two big eyes, "How dare you say you want independence for a mere Wubao?"
Hou Zi remained silent, but the thoughtful Feng Yaochen next to him sighed, "There are more than one Quanzhen sect in this world's cultivation forces!"
What was originally a purely technical conspiracy was suddenly taken to a new level by Hou Zi. He was also very embarrassed and made his senior brothers nervous.
"It's just a guess, a guess... I'm a newbie here, and I don't even understand the situation... It's probably just nonsense, don't take it too seriously."
Xiang Zhiwen sighed. He finally understood the mood of the Tianxianglou Shepherd Commander back then. It was really a mixture of emotions.
The key to the problem is that even if he thinks this possibility is unlikely, he must still act to guard against this possibility. This is the meaning of his guarding here.
After guarding it for several years, he lost the territory. So what was the point of killing countless monsters and ghosts before?
Yao He focused his eyes on the west, which is the junction of Yin Ling and Wei State, "Wei State Taihao? You also want to pass your claws in?"
Xiang Zhi asked to stop him, "Hold on! We can't make false claims without evidence!"
Looking at Hou Zi, "We will track down the beeswax horned beast, but the internal problems in Fangjiabao also need someone to investigate secretly. Junior Brother Hou is new here and few people know him here. Are you willing to stay here and be our eyes? I I found out that you still have some tricks up your sleeve."
Hou Ting refused directly, "Senior brother, this is not appropriate! I am not familiar with the place here, and I fell in the eyes of the Fang clan when I came in. There is no secret at all. I really stay here at Manwu Fort to inquire. , I’m afraid I won’t hear anything.”
Xiang Zhiwen looked at him, "Are you unable or unwilling?"
Hou Zi took it for granted, "I can't and I don't want to. I don't learn swordsmanship just to stay here and quarrel with others. It's more refreshing to go out and do some activities..."
Xiang Zhiwen looked hesitant and said, "You don't want to? They don't want to either. Do they want me as a patrol envoy to stay here? I don't want to either!"
Seeing everyone staring at him fiercely, Hou Zi started to come up with bad ideas, "Senior brother, the Quanzhen Sect's formation in Yin Ling is more than just a tour. You seem to have forgotten your other half, right?"
Feng Yaochen clapped his hands and laughed, "That's right, there's no reason why these wastes from the town government can just hide away after causing trouble? Why do we have to take care of everything?"
They are familiar with each other in Fangjiabao, have wide connections, and have many friends, so let them deliberately show weakness to find out the information, and then find out the intentions of these Fang family members!"
Xiang Zhiwen clapped his hands. This was actually what he meant. How could he really leave this kind of thing to a newbie?
"In this case, I went to Guo Zhen Yamen to talk to Guo Zhen Yamen, keep it strictly confidential, and deliberately create conflicts between the Zhen Yamen and the patrol. Then we went out on patrol to trace the enemy's traces, and they stayed behind to make excuses..."
Li Jingxi was a little worried, "Senior brother, will Guo Zhenya agree?"
Xiang Zhiwen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lao Guo is a smart man, and he also knows the importance of things. In order to save his face, he will definitely do this, and he will do it wholeheartedly! Don't look at the tricks in his hands. No matter what, but when it comes to playing tricks, there is still a way."
Standing up, "Get ready, we'll set off when I come back!"
An hour later, the sound of broken utensils was heard from upstairs, and then Xiang Zhiwen walked out angrily, waving his hand,
"Let's go, don't suffer from these bad things here, let's go out and kill demons and search for souls. It's much better than looking at these pickled things all day long!"
...The eight Yinling parades roared out of the fort. When they passed the fort gate, a fortress chirped and was whipped severely by Li Jingxi. Although they are all straightforward people, they are not ambiguous in their acting. The key is
Yes, I have wanted to slap them for a long time.
Protection is not unlimited. If Quanzhen disciples' constant casualties in Yin Ling cannot earn even the most basic respect, this whip will be light.
It is the duty of practitioners to protect mortals, but where is the duty of mortals? This is a question that can never be explained clearly.
Xiang Zhiwen pointed the tip of his whip and shouted: "I and Dou Gong will track down the beeswax and find the horned beast Li Jingxi, Xu Geng Tuxiu and you three to take charge. Feng Yaochen, you and Yao He will find the salt merchant... Well, Hou Zi
you……"
He was still a little hesitant, because he didn't know much about the abilities of this new junior brother, so he couldn't arrange it casually. Privately, he was very optimistic about this guy. He had a bright mind and a bad character. There was no shortage of fighting men in the patrol team.
But he lacks a sharp mind.
Li Jingxi has a violent personality, bold and careful, so he is the most suitable person to find a horned beast; Feng Yaochen is relatively better at dealing with people than them all, and he is the only one to deal with people; of course, the most dangerous beeswax will be handled by him and Dou Gong.
In their patrol team, in addition to him from the Lianqiao realm, there was also Li Jingxi and Feng Yao minister Dou Gong from the Bigu realm, so he meant that it would be better for Hou Zi to follow the other two paths.
Since there is an unknown threat, it is inappropriate to act alone. The patrols are not afraid of life and death, but they will not put themselves in dangerous situations casually.
Hou Zi didn't wait for him to speak, "Senior brother and I, shall we go chasing beeswax? Let's learn something by the way. I heard people say that whenever you go to a new place, you have to hug the thickest thigh to be safe..."
Li Jingxi laughed loudly, "It's true that his legs are the thickest, but they are also the most unsafe! The water is too deep, and the legs are easily drowned..."
Everyone dispersed in laughter, leaving Xiang Zhiwen with no chance to refuse. In the end, he had no choice but to acquiesce to his own decision, but reminded him,
"If one day, I feel that you are not suitable for this mission, you cannot force it, understand?"
Of course Hou Zi understood, "Yes, you are not a nanny, and I am not a child."
The three of them galloped on their horses and soon arrived at the scene of the incident, where the beeswax appeared. The battle was no more than seven days ago. The surrounding grass was lying down, and the traces of the fight were still clearly visible to experienced veterans like them.
"The footprints are very messy. It is estimated that there were no less than seven or eight kinds of monsters at that time, but I don't know which one belongs to beeswax."
Dou Gong obviously has his own unique insights into traces and is a good expert in the Yinling Wasteland. Real cultivation is not so complicated. You can feel it just by relying on the residual breath. But that is cultivation, which is the minimum.
The abilities of monks after the Tongxuan realm are still far behind, so they have to use some basic hunters' methods.
Strictly speaking, they have not completely escaped from the secular world yet.
"Beeswax itself is not fixed to a certain creature. In theory, any creature can be used as the carrier of this thin-waisted bee. From what Guo Zhenya saw at that time, it was probably a monkey?
But he wasn't sure whether it was a macaque or a baboon, or something else; after being regarded as a beehive for a long time, the original appearance could no longer be distinguished, and in Yinling, such things are very rare. This is actually the first time for all of us.
