The road is vague
Chapter 136 8 Mountain Xiufeng
Chapter 136 Eighteen Mountains, Baixiu Peak
The inspectors of Bai'an County rushed to the vicinity of Shibashan as quickly as possible.
"Shut up!"
Jiang Feiyan waved her hand, signaling everyone behind her to stop.
She looked around at the mountains and forests, her face grim and solemn.
"Dismount and change into plain clothes."
"Yes!"
Everyone dismounted and headed for the woods on both sides, took off their bird clothes, and put on coarse linen clothes. They moved without any hesitation and then walked towards the Eighteen Mountains.
In the afternoon, near dusk.
Someone came in a hurry.
"Inspector Gao!"
This man has eyes like copper bells, an extremely high nose bridge, protruding joints, and a sturdy body. He is one of the many spies arranged by Gao Zhengyi in the Eighteen Mountains.
Other small flags also have similar intelligence organization networks. Zhu Wei learned about the arrival of Jiujiang Leilong Taishou from the intelligence personnel in Pingshan Society.
Gao Zhengyi nodded.
"Tell us about those mysterious people in detail."
"Yes."
After seeing such a big scene, the informant felt a little nervous for a moment.
He knew clearly that these people were inspectors from the Ministry of Destiny and were all real cultivators, and some of them might even be Gao Xiaoqi's superiors.
"This happened more than half a month ago. Someone said they saw a flying cultivator on Baixiu Peak. At the time, no one paid much attention, thinking it was just a Taoist priest passing by. Until about ten days ago, people started to gather on Baixiu Peak. Some even cast spells and built a giant altar on the mountain. It was obvious that something was amiss. After careful observation, I reported the information truthfully."
"Baixiu Peak?"
Li Mo once lived in Shibashan for more than a year.
Although he had never been to this so-called Baixiu Peak, he had heard Heiwa mention it.
It is said that the place is quite steep and rarely visited by people, and even the bandits from the Eighteen Mountains rarely go there.
It is precisely for this reason that there are more spiritual trees and herbs there. However, at that time, Li Mo only regarded the Eighteen Mountains as a temporary resting place and did not think about collecting more herbs, which let Heiwa down.
"As far as I know, the Eighteen Mountains are a rarely visited place. Baixiu Peak is a desolate and wild place, except for the flourishing spiritual trees and herbs. What are they doing there?"
Li Mo's words made everyone frown.
Even the informant looked puzzled.
However, the other party gathered so many people, including four cultivators who were suspected to be in the Foundation Establishment stage. They took the trouble to build a large altar there, so they must have some ulterior motive.
"Could it be the geomancer who moved mountains and protected ridges?"
Gao Zhengyi's words made everyone think deeply, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
If this is true, then it was just a false alarm.
Although the Banshan Sect and the Yuling Sect also engaged in feng shui within the territory of Daqian, which was also an illegal act, their impact on local security was relatively small. Therefore, they were not under the jurisdiction of the Tianming Department, but were handled at the discretion of the Luyin Department's secret inspectors and local sects.
To put it bluntly.
This is normal competition for cultivation resources among monks.
Jiang Feiyan did not make any arbitrary conclusion.
"No matter what, we can't be careless."
Then she looked at the informant.
"What's your name?"
"Little Qian Yong!"
Jiang Feiyan nodded.
"After this incident, you can report to the County Destiny Division at any time. I will personally commend you, revoke your wanted status, and assign you a position as a constable in another county. You can lead the way."
"Yes!"
Qian Yong's face was filled with excitement; he had finally made it.
After that, they traveled a short distance and rested for one night in the Eighteen Mountains.
until noon the next day.
Everyone finally arrived at a wild mountain opposite Baixiu Peak, which was much lower than Baixiu Peak.
The two hilltops were about four or five miles apart. Not only were there a lot of vegetation hiding them, but they were also covered in a thin mist. The patrol officers were well-trained and good at hiding, so they did not reveal their identities.
Looking from afar.
Baixiu Peak is surrounded by steep cliffs and white rocks on three sides, and faces the river on one side. It is a solitary mountain covered with dense forests and lush vegetation.
"The spiritual energy here seems to be more abundant. They do know how to choose a place."
After Jiang Feiyan opened her spiritual eyes and observed for a while, she said this.
Qian Yong, who was in charge of leading the way, wiped his sweat quietly. He turned around and looked at the many inspectors. They were all as light as a swallow, and he admired them very much.
"Sir, that's Baixiu Peak. Look, their altar is bigger than it was a few days ago. Hey, someone actually flew down and carved words on the cliff?"
After the three monks landed on Baixiu Peak, they continued to use their magic tools to carve runes on the cliff wall, using rather crude methods.
This made everyone stunned and puzzled.
"Seal script."
Li Mo frowned.
If it was the silver tadpole text representing the order of heaven and earth, he could still guess the purpose of these people.
But he knew nothing about seal script.
"No matter what, we should observe carefully first. Don't take action unless absolutely necessary. Those four people are most likely cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage."
After Jiang Feiyan finished speaking, she looked at Tian Feng.
"Tian Lao, set up the formation. Please report the related spiritual stone consumption to the department after returning."
"Yes."
After Tian Feng responded, he took out a set of flag formations and set them up here.
After hearing this, Li Mo looked at it for a while. It turned out to be a flag formation with twelve flags, which had a good concealment effect.
As the flag formation was set up, not only were the figures of the people in the area completely obscured, but even the subtle fluctuations of spiritual power were hidden.
"Xiangqiao, use your spiritual glasses to look down at the top of the opposite mountain and see if you can spot anything."
"Yes!"
Meng Xiangqiao took out a mirror-shaped magic weapon and everyone gathered around.
Just a moment later.
The mirror showed the scene of the top of Baixiu Peak opposite. Not only was there a huge altar, but there was also a huge furnace on top of the altar, but the flame had not been lit yet.
"This, this is... a refining furnace?"
Li Mo said in surprise.
"Huh?" Everyone was puzzled when they heard this. Refining weapons is not illegal, so why did he come here and act so mysterious?
"Wang Ping!"
"arrive."
"Can your super hearing hear what's being said over there?"
Wang Ping is a member of Zhu Wei's team. Zhu Wei has been sent by Li Mo to Beikou County to investigate Liu Biao. He will probably not be back in a short time, so he will temporarily take over the position of team leader.
This is a very capable inspector who just broke through the tenth level of Qi training some time ago and is often entrusted with important tasks by Zhu Wei.
However, Jiang Feiyan was able to know everyone's abilities very well. It seemed that her position as the general flag bearer was not just a title.
"No."
Wang Ping said in a low voice, "I've just tried it. It's calm here now. My current ability to eavesdrop can only be effective when the wind is strong and the clouds are high, even from the downwind."
"Forget it then. Since these people haven't made any moves yet, carving runes all over the three cliffs won't be completed in a short period of time. So let's observe here in secret for a while and wait for support from the surrounding counties to arrive. Don't act rashly."
After Jiang Feiyan finished speaking, she looked at Li Mo again.
"Deputy Commander Li, you must immediately go to Quhe Town to fetch reinforcements. As per usual practice, once our call for assistance is sent out, the Tianming Division from Sihe County and Xiaoyue County will rush over to support us. Judging by their distance, they'll be at most two or three days behind us. The county's Hundred Household Inspectors may be two or three days behind again..."
Li Mo thought it would be more appropriate to let someone else lead the way.
I wonder if Jiang Feiyan made such an arrangement because she was prepared for the worst.
"what!"
Jiang Feiyan had just said half of her words when the inspectors surrounding Meng Xiangqiao exclaimed in disbelief.
Jiang Feiyan and Li Mo hurried over to look.
A familiar face appeared in the spiritual mirror. Li Mo immediately showed an expression of disbelief, and Jiang Feiyan's face changed drastically.
At the top of Baixiu Peak, near the altar, more than twenty people surrounded the area.
One of them was Shi Yongjie!
"Why is he here?"
It is no small matter that an inspector from the Ministry of Destiny is colluding with a secret organization. As the general flag-taker, Jiang Feiyan is likely to be punished, have his salary deducted, or even demoted.
Li Mo hurriedly spoke to comfort him.
"Zongqi Jiang, you don't have to worry too much. This might just be a secret exchange meeting between weapon refiners."
"Ah."
Jiang Feiyan suppressed her anger and looked at Li Mo worriedly.
"Deputy General Li, go and carry out the mission. No matter what this group's purpose is, we must bring Shi Yongjie back."
"I see."
As long as Shi Yongjie can be captured, Jiang Feiyan will be able to land safely. Otherwise, she will also be held responsible, which will be considered a serious negligence.
After Li Mo left Eighteen Mountains with a heavy heart, he summoned the Thunder Sword, flew at a low altitude, and came to the Quhe Town Township Yamen to wait.
Two days later.
A group of people arrived at the Quhe Town Township Yamen, exhausted.
Li Mo walked out wearing a flying bird suit and looked at the deputy general who was leading the team.
This is a handsome male cultivator who is eight feet tall and has a dignified appearance. He holds a folding fan and looks very elegant.
Li Mo immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"I am Li Mo, Deputy Chief of the Tianming Division of Bai'an County. Thank you all for rushing to the rescue!"
"So it's Deputy Chief Li. I've heard a lot about you. I'm Liu Yin, Deputy Chief of Sihe County. Although I haven't been back to my sect for the past two years, I've heard of Deputy Chief Li's reputation. He truly is a rare talent that only appears once in a thousand years."
Li Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this.
He looked in the direction Liu Yin pointed and saw an acquaintance.
Wu Xin!
This Wu Xin was one of Tao Ran's good friends. Although he was only at the sixth level of Qi training during the final examination, he achieved quite good results and received generous rewards.
"Meet Uncle Li."
"Wu Xin, long time no see."
The two greeted each other politely.
Since they were not very familiar with each other, there was naturally no need to ask about each other's well-being at this time. In addition, they were of different generations now, so there was no need to deliberately make friends.
Liu Yin naturally knew the ins and outs of this, so he took over the conversation with a smile.
"As for rushing to the rescue, haha, three years ago, when General Jiang came all the way to help during the Sihe County demon case, the people of Sihe County have not forgotten his kindness. As soon as I received General Jiang's call for help, I immediately brought the elite troops from the department here. I wonder where General Jiang is now? Do you have any clues about the identities of those secretive people?"
A total of thirteen people came from the Tianming Division of Sihe County, including two small flags.
Li Mo felt a chill in his heart.
Shi Yongjie was a thorn in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.
"Everyone, please come in. We'll talk as we go. The people from Datong County will be here tomorrow at the latest. We'll go together then."
Noon the next day.
Another group of people came to the Quhe Town Township Office.
Li Mo still took the initiative to step forward to welcome him.
However, when he looked at the person who came, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
As the two looked at each other, they couldn't help but laugh. This was the cultivator who sold puppet parts at the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator trade fair of the sect last year. Li Mo also bought a lot of extreme magnets at this person's stall, and this person obviously remembered Li Mo as a customer.
"It's you, sir. What a coincidence! I'm Li Mo, deputy chief of the Tianming Division of Bai'an County. Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Li. Haha, I'm Lü Sheng, Deputy Chief of the Datong County Tianming Division. Greetings!"
It really is from the Lu family.
No wonder animal-shaped puppets and various parts are sold at the trade fair.
Li Mo smiled slightly and looked at the twelve inspectors of Datong County behind him, but he didn't recognize them.
"Please come inside. My colleagues from Sihe County are closer and have already arrived. I will introduce you to the other side, but to avoid any further complications, please rest here for a while before following me."
"it is good."
Lu Sheng had prominent eyebrows and a square appearance.
Judging from his appearance alone, he should be a tall man of about eight feet in height, but in fact he is much shorter than Li Mo and is of short stature.
soon.
After the Datong County inspectors finished their rest, Li Mo gave a slight signal to Liu Yin and Lu Sheng, and left the address of Baixiu Peak where they would carry out this mission at the township office. He then led two teams of people and quickly rushed towards the place where Jiang Feiyan and others were hiding.
The reason why he left the address was to provide guidance for the inspectors who would come from the county town to provide support.
Because he was concerned about the safety of everyone in the Tianming Department of Bai'an County, Li Mo naturally could not continue to wait here.
After all, judging from the situation, they had four foundation-building cultivators on their side and were not at a disadvantage.
