Chapter 80 Dust all the way
"The specific situation is not very clear." Meng Xing shook his head and said, "This house was seized a long time ago, even before Lord Wu took office. Well, it was like this when I was a child.
"However, I grew up in this city since I was a child, and I have heard some legends about this mansion. Even the Lord of the Mansion may not know it. It is said that a wealthy businessman moved here more than a hundred years ago and built this mansion.
"At that time, the wealthy businessman could be said to be the first family in our Huangtong City. There were many members, regardless of gender, age or young, who were all envied by people. Even the Lord of the Mansion at that time had to give his family some face.
"But then one day, the second sun was in the sky, and the earth suddenly became extremely hot. The wealthy businessman's family who lived in this mansion disappeared overnight, and then the mansion was seized by the government office of the city. "
"It seems to be quite legendary. "Zhou Heng nodded and smiled, but he attached more importance to this mansion in his heart. Even if the rumors were distorted, there was always a reason, and they could not be regarded as false.
Then, he followed Meng Xing into the mansion and walked around, looking at some of the main places.
It must be said that it was worthy of being the mansion where the first family of Huangtong City lived a hundred years ago. The exquisite workmanship was simply not comparable to that of ordinary people.
But as he looked at more places, Zhou Heng's inexplicable gloom and depression became stronger, and he felt as if there was a huge hidden danger here.
"Before this, has this mansion been lived in by others?" Zhou Heng asked Meng Xing.
"Yes." Meng Xing sighed at this point and said: "Young Master, you may not know that this mansion used to be one of the important financial incomes of our city government. Rich people from other places often come here to rent.
"However, due to a new policy promulgated in the county three years ago, the government offices of various prefectures and counties are not allowed to rent out the seized property, which has reduced our income by a large margin.
"The treatment of us runners has dropped a lot. By the way, please don't despise this place for being desolate.
"In fact, the lord originally planned to ask someone to clean this place carefully in two days, but I didn't expect you to come back so quickly, so I didn't have time.
"It should be cleaned up in the next few days."
"It doesn't matter. I probably won't move in recently. Thank you, Captain Meng and Lord Wu. "Zhou Heng smiled slightly. He didn't dare to move in before he found out the problems with the house.
Even though many people had lived there for many years without any problems, he believed in his spiritual intuition.
Afterwards, Zhou Heng said goodbye to Meng Xing and went to visit Liao Quancheng.
This doctor Liao was well-known in Huangtong Prefecture. He was a famous doctor respected by many people. He also ran a pharmacy at home, so it was very easy to find him.
However, it was not easy to find this doctor Liao on weekdays. You had to send a visiting card in advance.
But when the manager of the pharmacy heard Zhou Heng's name, he shuddered and ran to the back hall to report. He ran away in just a moment. After returning, he respectfully invited Zhou Heng to go with him to see Liao Quancheng.
Such a scene stunned some of the "old customers" in the pharmacy, and they all wondered why Doctor Liao paid so much attention to a young man?
Is it because of Zhou Heng's identity as a master on the human list?
But Doctor Liao has always only valued the level of medical skills, and didn't care much about the level of martial arts. Could it be that Zhou Heng is already a medical master at such a young age?
Many people began to speculate wildly in their hearts.
Ever since Liao Quancheng saw Yu He's miraculous recovery, he regarded Zhou Heng as a hidden medical master and had always wanted to find an opportunity to visit him. Unfortunately, Zhou Heng had been away from home recently. There were too many things to do, so there was no time to see him.
Therefore, when Doctor Liao heard that Zhou Heng had taken the initiative to come to him, he was immediately excited to the extreme, and he wanted to go out to greet him. He couldn't wait to discuss the mysteries of medical skills with Zhou Heng.
However, after Zhou Heng explained his purpose, Liao Quancheng felt a little disappointed.
It turned out that Zhou Heng did not come to him to discuss medical skills.
But to track down the whereabouts of the buyer of the medicinal materials.
Of course, given Zhou Heng's superb medical skills, Liao Quancheng had the idea of building a good relationship with him, so he basically answered all of Zhou Heng's questions.
Unfortunately, as Zhou Heng had expected before, the three poisons The people of the Three Poison Sect were not fools. They did a great job of covering up their tracks. There was no way to trace the whereabouts of the Three Poison Sect from Liao Quancheng.
However, although he did not get the information he wanted, Zhou Heng heard another piece of news from Liao Quancheng.
The buyers of the medicinal materials that he had just asked Liao Quancheng about had been asked here before.
That person was Shen Jingjing, the second daughter of the Shen family in the north district of Huangtong Prefecture.
After Zhou Heng thanked Liao Quancheng, he left the medicine hall, but he felt a little confused in his heart, thinking to himself: "I remember that the Shen family is just an ordinary wealthy family, mainly engaged in the business of silk cloth, and has no martial arts background.
"If the person who was hunted by the Three Poison Sect that day was Shen Jingjing, she would have at least reached the eighth level of cultivation. How could an eighteen-year-old martial arts eighth level appear in such an ordinary family?
"Is there something wrong with Shen Jingjing herself, or is there something wrong with the Shen family? It's not as simple as it seems on the surface? "
With full of doubts, Zhou Heng went to find Meng Xing again.
He asked him to help investigate the Shen family and whether Shen Jingjing had any recent problems, and whether it was related to the Three Poison Sect or the Plague Emperor Sect.
After taking care of this, Zhou Heng bought a bunch of vegetables and meat, returned home, and began his retreat career.
He wants to practice his inner strength in seclusion.
He already possesses powerful moves and sharp-edged weapons. Even many seventh-level warriors are not qualified to hold what he possesses.
But he knows very well where his shortcomings are.
realm!
Cultivation!
Inner energy!
This is the essence of martial arts.
Therefore, Zhou Heng planned to practice his internal skills diligently, increase his internal Qi, and improve his proficiency in Quanzhen internal skills and mental techniques while waiting for news about the Three Poison Sect and the Plague Emperor Sect.
Lay a solid foundation for your future in martial arts.
…
Ten days later.
Zhou Heng faced the morning sun, woke up from the state of concentration of practicing internal energy, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and took a deep breath of the morning sun's air, feeling refreshed and refreshed.
[Eighth Grade] Quanzhen Internal Skills: Advanced (2896/3000)
It is very close to Dacheng.
In just ten days, his internal energy has increased by almost half compared to before. This speed of internal energy cultivation is actually shocking.
Zhou Heng himself could clearly feel that the speed of his internal strength cultivation had become faster.
He guessed that this might have something to do with the "Spiritual Root +1" he got from opening the lucky bag earlier.
Although the basic attribute of spiritual root is related to Taoism, Quanzhen Neigong and Mind Method are also Taoist internal skills, so there may be some connection between them.
Only in this way can he explain the doubling of his internal strength cultivation speed.
The improvement of internal energy also improved Zhou Heng's perception. After calming down the internal energy running in his body, he felt that his physical condition seemed to be somewhat different from usual.
It's like some of the breath that was usually locked in the body suddenly lost its blockade restrictions and began to escape bit by bit and spread.
"It's been twenty days?"
Zhou Heng frowned slightly and took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms. There were dense and very complicated patterns drawn with cinnabar on it, but the color of the cinnabar on it had become very light.
This is the talisman Cheng Jiangjian gave him to seal off the yang energy in his body, so as to prevent ghosts from coveting his pure yang body due to the combined power of yin and yang.
Now the effect of the talisman has expired, which means that the yang energy in Zhou Heng's body is no longer blocked. According to the law of yin and yang aggregation, in this case, no matter what he does, he may encounter ghosts.
"When Miss Cheng said goodbye, she said we would see you in twenty days, but now the time has come and she hasn't come yet..." Zhou Heng frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of the news about Yuyang County that he had heard from Wu Zongshan before.
Zhou Tian Xunjie Division determined that the ghosts sealed in Yuyang County were only fifth or sixth grade, so they sent two star envoys there. Could Cheng Jiangjian be among them?
After all, there seem to be quite few people in the Zhoutian Xunjie Division.
There is also a follow-up investigation on "Xuan Yang". I don't know if Zhou Tian Xunjie Department paid attention to it, and whether Wu Zongshan received a reply?
Or something went wrong in Yuyang County and Cheng Jiangjian couldn't get away.
Didn't you come to replace the talisman?
Zhou Heng's mind became uncertain, and he even came up with the idea of going to Yuyang County to investigate the situation.
Yang energy must be blocked as soon as possible.
Otherwise, we don’t know what kind of ghosts it will attract and what kind of trouble it will cause.
"First go to Fucheng Yamen to inquire about the situation in Yuyang County and the current situation of Zhoutian Xunjie Division." Zhou Heng made up his mind and was about to go to Wu Zongshan when he saw Meng Xing coming in a hurry.
"Mr. Zhou, are you going out?" Meng Xing held a letter in his hand and handed it to Zhou Heng, saying: "This is what the master of the palace asked me to give you. The preliminary results of the matter you wanted to investigate earlier have been obtained. "
"Oh?" Zhou Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this, he took the letter and said with a smile: "This is a coincidence. I was planning to go to Fucheng Yamen to inquire."
Then, he opened the letter and frowned when he saw the content inside.
There seems to be some problem with the Zhou Tian Xunjie Department, and there has been no reply to the message about "Xuan Yang".
Moreover, Wu Zongshan also lost contact with them during this period.
Judging from some recent rumors about the whereabouts of the Sandu Sect, it is likely that they have a gathering place in Yuyang County, and there may be people from the Plague Emperor Sect.
Shen Jingjing left home more than ten days ago and is missing. She is suspected to have headed towards Yuyang County.
In addition, there is some news about Yuyang County.
In the past ten days, more and more people have listened to the rumors of the "treasure". Many eighth-grade and even seventh-grade warriors heard the news and went to Yuyang County.
Now, it has become a place where storms gather, with fish and dragons mixed together.
Zhou Heng looked at the contents of the letter and was silent for a long time. Then he looked up at Meng Xing and said, "How many days has Meng Captou been guarding here?"
These messages obviously did not appear to be received on the same day.
It's more like a summary of multiple messages.
Moreover, he came over as soon as he left Mengxing. It was obviously too coincidental and not normal.
"Young Master Zhou is very thoughtful." Meng Xing said with a smile: "Actually, it only lasts three days. Young Master, you are practicing your internal skills in seclusion, so I don't want to disturb you. I saw Young Master going out, so I stepped forward."
"Thank you very much." Zhou Heng said sincerely, "I would also like to ask Mr. Meng to thank Mr. Wu on my behalf. I plan to go to Yuyang County."
"My lord has guessed your plan, sir, and has already prepared horses at the city gate." Meng Xing nodded and said with a smile, "Master, please pay attention to your safety and hope to come back soon."
"Yes." Zhou Heng nodded, and then turned back home.
Packed his luggage.
Bring gold, Zhizhi sword, and sharp gloves.
Tie a waist knife.
Finally, he took out the death-substitute jade talisman sent by You Ziheng, and used it to draw an invisible Tai Chi pattern on the floor of the room.
This death-substitute talisman can give Zhou Heng a chance to revive when facing attacks below the third rank of the heaven.
Just set the resurrection position in advance.
Otherwise, even if you revive on the spot, you will still be killed.
This Tai Chi diagram is actually the "resurrection point".
After making all these preparations.
Zhou Heng climbed over the wall and rushed straight to the city gate.
To the front of the gate.
Fly on the horse.
"Go!"
All the way to Yuyang County in smoke and dust.
