While he was talking, an old man with gray hair on his temples came in from outside.

"Junior Brother Zhao is back, how is it? What's the situation in Qianye Mountain now? Have you found anything?" Qi Yuanjin, the leader of the String Sect, saw his return and asked hurriedly after seeing his return.

As the only god-transforming monk in the String Sect, Zhao Ziyi's status is naturally different from the others, and he is the undisputed next leader of the sect.

"The thieves have already escaped, and the spirit mine suffered heavy losses." Zhao Ziyi walked over and sat down first on the left.

"You go ahead!" Qi Yuanjin waved his hand, and everyone stood up and left.

"Junior Brother Zhao, not long after you left, news came from Qianye Mountain that they were also attacked by unknown monks. In less than two hours, news came from Guluo Mountain and Luoquan Mountain that they were attacked. It should be the same group of people.

So, in your opinion, how should we deal with this matter."

"The master must have some calculations in mind!" Zhao Ziyi asked without answering.

Qi Yuanjin muttered: "If the estimate is correct, this matter is most likely caused by Taixuan Sect. Just now in the palace, someone proposed to unite other sects and ask for help from Qianjia Sect, Canglang Sect, Xingyue Sect, and Mirror Moon Sect.

, put pressure on Taixuanzong together. Once we do this, the conflict will inevitably deepen. If Taixuanzong really starts to attack, the consequences will not be what we can bear. This is what I am most worried about."

"The master's concerns are very real. Moreover, we have no evidence to prove that they did it. If it really comes to a life-and-death situation, it will definitely be us who will suffer, but it will be others who will benefit. I don't care, no matter what,

To be on the safe side, it is better to contact Taixuan Sect first, or you can send someone to contact Qianjia Sect secretly. In short, we should first see the attitudes of both parties before making any plans."

………

In Fengwei Mountain, in a slightly dark room, Xie Minghua and Huang Yuan were sitting opposite each other, playing chess and chatting at the same time.

A man pushed the door open and walked in, bowing and saluting: "Uncle Master, Zhao Ziyi, the master of the Qingxuan Hall of the String Sect, is asking to see you outside. He said he has something important to meet with you."

"Go! Lead him to the meeting hall." Xie Minghua smiled slightly and settled down with the black chess in his hand: "How about it, Senior Brother Huang, I guessed it right! Within one day, the String Sect will definitely send someone to meet us.

Negotiation, there are still two hours left in the day!"

"Thank you, junior brother, for holding the world in your hands. With you here, the tax collection will be worry-free."

"I know Qi Yuanjin, the headmaster of the String Sect, as a person who is fierce and timid, more than cautious, not enterprising enough, and good at playing both sides. He is a complete opportunist. He saw that many major sects in Donglai County have

He resists paying tribute and taxes, so he also wants to gain some benefits. As long as we put enough pressure on him, he will immediately change his attitude, so I proposed to open a breakthrough with the String Sect first."

Huang Yuan held the white chess piece in his hand and settled down: "In my opinion, Junior Brother Xie, will the String String Sect obediently hand over the tribute tax this time?"

"If they don't pay, then put more pressure on them until they are completely crushed."

After a long time, the victory was decided, Huang Yuan smiled and said: "Thank you, junior brother, for your chess skills are better than before, but I am getting worse."

"Senior Brother Huang, Miuzan, let's go! Let's go meet him together."

Zhao Ziyi was sitting in the solemn meeting hall. When he saw two people entering from the outside, he stood up and bowed his head and saluted: "Two Taoist friends, I have taken the liberty to disturb you."

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Zhao. We just had some important matters to deal with at our headquarters, so Fellow Daoist has been waiting for a long time."

The three of them exchanged a few words, and then the host and guest took their seats.

"What is the reason why fellow Taoist monks are here today? Could it be that your sect's tax collection has been prepared and you have invited us to collect it?" Xie Minghua sat down on his own and said with a smile.

"Our sect is actively preparing for the tax payment to be handed over to our sect." Zhao Ziyi wanted to continue.

Xie Minghua interrupted directly: "It's not a matter of tax payment, why are you here today? Fellow Daoist Zhao, it's not that I'm impatient, but that the superiors have issued a death order. If the tax payment of this department cannot be paid, I will not be able to do it. I hope you will

The sects deliberately made things difficult for us."

"How dare our sect be our friend? Our sect is indeed actively preparing. We are here today to inform your sect that today, two high-grade spiritual mines and two fourth-level spiritual veins under our sect were destroyed.

An attack by a gang of unknown forces caused heavy losses to our sect. The whereabouts of the thieves are still unknown. Our sect sincerely requests your help."

"Oh? Is this happening? Who is so bold as to attack your sect's jurisdiction?"

"We still don't know who is responsible for it, so our sect would like to ask your sect to come forward and convene a meeting to invite all the forces in our pavilion to come together for discussion and make it clear in person. Your sect will probably not refuse!

"

"It's not that I refuse, but I'm afraid other Taoist friends, such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Netherworld Sea Organization, may not be willing to sell Xie."

"Our sect only hopes that fellow Taoists will come forward and invite the leaders of our Mirror Moon Sect, Xingyue Sect, Canglang Sect, Qianjia Sect and several nearby Tingcheng sect leaders to one place. As for the others, forget it.

."

"Okay! In that case, I will try to contact them. But having said that, there are so many sects in Xuantang City, as well as aristocratic families, chambers of commerce and Netherworld Sea organizations. Why are others not attacked, but Guizong is attacked?

?Should your sect also have to find out the reason? Could it be that he did something wrong and was retaliated for it?"

"Even if there is some misunderstanding, we should not carry out the attack secretly. Isn't this the behavior of a villain? If there is something that cannot be explained in person, we have to resort to these despicable methods. How could the disciples stationed in our sect be so innocent?

Even if you don't let it go, is this what the Xuanmen sect does?"

Huang Yuan said from the side: "The biggest crime of human beings is greed and failure to measure one's own capabilities. Sometimes, even if a piece of pie falls from the sky, you have to weigh it to see if you can eat it. Don't just try to get a piece of it."

Pies, if you burst your stomach, then the gain outweighs the loss, do you think so, Fellow Daoist Zhao?"

Before he could answer, Xie Minghua answered: "We will try our best to comply with your request. We also hope that our tribute tax can be raised as soon as possible. We still have important matters to deal with, and we will not keep our Taoist friends here for a long time."

, after your sect’s tribute and tax are prepared, I will entertain fellow Taoists at a banquet, and then we will have a few glasses of fine wine.”

…

Tang Ning returned to Fengwei Mountain, flipped his hand over and took out a storage bag. It was exactly what the Nascent Soul monk from the String Sect he had killed was carrying with him. There were many elixirs, spiritual stones and various cultivation materials in it.

, and the magic weapon of a red gourd.

In addition, what surprised him the most was that there was a piece of white jade the size of a baby randomly placed in the corner of the room.

This object is exactly the same as the jade that Yang Yunzhi obtained back then. It is covered with a faint spiritual power. At first glance, it seems to be no different from ordinary jade, but Tang Ning knows that this object may have an origin.

He hurriedly took out the other two pieces of jade from his storage bag. The three broken pieces of jade were placed together and it was obvious that they were in the shape of a complete jade plate. Just as he spliced ​​the three pieces of jade together tightly,

When trying to find the secrets hidden inside.

I saw the light flowing from the jade piece, emitting a dazzling colorful light in an instant, and its light was projected above, showing a non-static picture.

The first picture that appeared was a rough blue sea, with an isolated island very conspicuous on it.

Then the screen changed, and another scene of ancient trees, ravines and ravines appeared in the sky.

Then there is a dark room

………

The pictures continued to flow around like a horse, and Tang Ning was dumbfounded. When she realized what she was doing, she quickly took out a pen and paper and copied the pictures one by one.

In this way, the colorful light lasted for about a stick of incense and finally disappeared.

He held more than a dozen pages of paper in his hand and studied them carefully for a while. The purpose of the pictures outlined on the jade plate was very clear. There might be treasures in this final location. These pictures were to guide the holder to go hunting for treasures.

However, where exactly is this place? These pictures are too vague and general, such as the first picture of the rough blue sea.
