Mountain and sea essence

Zhuang Shenglan and Qiao Jun took a taxi to the high-speed railway station, and then took different high-speed trains to their respective destinations.

There are three demon-locking towers in the world, one of which is located in Guangyang City, and the Yun family is responsible for guarding it.According to the geographical location of the three towers and the principle of proximity, the central government designated each Tiangong Bureau to lock the demon towers where the monsters were detained.The monsters arrested within the jurisdiction of Xunzhou Tiangong Bureau were designated to be sent to Suoyao Tower in Guangyang City.Therefore, Xunzhou is not too far from Guangyang City.After more than two hours, we arrived in Guangyang City.

Qiao Jun, who had memorized the vocabulary all the way in the car, followed Fu Li to take a taxi to the city in a dejected manner.Find a hotel to check in first, and then find a place to have lunch.

It was nearly one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already past the time for lunch. Fu Li hated the bento on the high-speed rail, so he didn't eat anything.Qiao Jun ate bento, but recently he always ate dishes made by Fu Li, and his requirements for the taste of food have also improved significantly.

After finding a restaurant, after lunch, Fu Li took Qiao Jun to the local Bureau of Natural Engineering.Although the members of the special mission team of the Tiangong Bureau are not restricted by region, it is also a respect for the other party to say hello to the local Tiangong Bureau in advance. If there is any need, it is convenient to ask them for assistance.

After saying hello to the Tiangong Bureau of Guangyang City, Fu Li took Qiaoju to Yun's house, and took the magic weapon he repaired to break the golden knife.

The Yun family is a family of weapon refiners. Many magic weapons in the practice world are produced by them, and they have a very high reputation in the world.The Yun family has been practitioners for generations, and there have been several very powerful practitioners in their ancestors, who once had the absolute right to speak in the cultivation world.However, during the night rain battle in Mangshan Mountain seven years ago, many practitioners who participated in it disappeared, some from the Tiangong Bureau, some from various religions, and others from other sources. The elites of the previous generation were almost wiped out.

During that battle, the entire Yun family suffered unprecedented heavy losses. When the Yun family was overwhelmed by the grief of the death of a loved one and the distress that the family could not maintain, it was Yun Kaiyang, the only son of the head of the Yun family, who stood up and took over as the head of the family. With his astonishing talent for refining weapons, he led the clansmen to regain their foothold in the precarious situation——Yun Kaiyang was still dissatisfied at that time.

The current Yun family is not as prosperous as it was back then, but the magic weapons refined by the Yun family have an unshakable position in the practice world.The Yun family no longer had the absolute right to speak in the cultivation world, but their reputation and status in the circle made people afraid to provoke them easily.

After getting out of the taxi, Fu Li led Qiao Jun to the old house of the Yun family, and at the same time introduced the Yun family to Qiao Jun.The old house of the Yun family is located in the suburbs of Guangyang City. After getting off the car on the side of the road, one needs to walk along the path and pass through a fruit grove to reach the gate of the Yun family.

"The Yun family has been rooted in Guangyang City since five generations ago. Since its development, they have a detached position in the local area, both in terms of financial resources and influence." Fu Li said, "These fruit forests, and the mountain forest behind , all belong to the Yun family's property."

"Their house is so big!" Qiao Jun finished marveling, looking at the full fruit on the navel orange trees along the road, "These oranges look delicious."

Fu Li: "..." After listening to the Yun family's introduction, this is the only impression?Forget it, he didn't expect Qiao Jun to have any deep thoughts.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Fu Li and Qiao Jun arrived at the gate of Yun's old house.The servant who had been guarding the door for a long time led them to the flower hall. Yun Kaiyang, the current head of the Yun family, was waiting for them in the front hall.

When Fu Li and Qiao Jun arrived at the entrance of the flower hall, Yun Kaiyang was sitting on a wicker chair in the courtyard basking in the sun.Seeing two people coming, he got up and won.

Yun Kaiyang was slightly shorter than Qiao Jun, he was wearing a crescent white gown with a stand collar, full of dignity.His figure was thin, his eyebrows were clear and handsome, and his complexion was fair, but he was pale without any blood.In the season of early November, it was the cool autumn wind, but he was holding a small hand warmer in his hand.As Yun Kaiyang approached, Qiao Jun keenly smelled a faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine from him.

"Fu Li, long time no see." Yun Kaiyang nodded towards Fu Li, then looked at Qiao Jun beside Fu Li.

"Hi, my name is Qiao Jun. I'm a mature silky chicken, and I'm an associate of the Xunzhou Tiangong Bureau." After Qiao Jun introduced himself, he stretched out a hand towards Yun Kaiyang.

Yun Kaiyang was taken aback, then smiled and shook hands with Qiao Jun, "Hello, your name is Yun Kaiyang."

As soon as Qiao Jun held Yun Kaiyang's hand, he felt that apart from the warmth in his palm, the back of his hand was icy cold.

"Your hands are so cold." Qiao Jun let go of Yun Kaiyang's hand and frowned slightly, "Are you not feeling well?"

"Well, I was born prematurely, and I have been physically weak since I was a child." Yun Kaiyang greeted them, and while leading them into the flower hall, he replied.

"Eat more good tonics at ordinary times." Qiao Jun suggested solemnly.

"Thank you, I will." Yun Kaiyang sat down on the carved wooden chair on the side of the flower hall, and said to Fu Li and Qiao Jun, "Sit."

Fu Li and Qiao Jun sat down on two chairs separated by a high tea table across from Yun Kaiyang.

"Brother Gao, go and fetch the things." Yun Kaiyang said softly to the servant who brought Qiao Jun and the others in.

The front foot left, and the housekeeper of the Yun family brought two other servants to bring tea and snacks.

Qiao Jun and Fu Li drank tea for a while, and not long after, the servant named Xiao Gao came in with a tray.The tray was covered with black flannel, and on it was a dagger that was completely black, and beside the dagger was a wooden box the size of a palm.

Xiao Gao put the tray in front of Fu Li, "Mr. Fu, your golden knife."

Fu Li took the knife from the tray, held it in his hand, and examined it carefully.The broken part of the blade was repaired intact, and after the injection of spiritual power, crack-like golden lines appeared on the jet-black sword god, as before, without any problems.

With a flip of his hand, Fu Li turned the Broken Gold Knife into an inch long, then took out a black braided rope from around his neck, and hung the Broken Gold Knife on it with a special snap button.

"I have repaired the Broken Gold Knife for you, I hope you will not use it so violently in the future." Yun Kaiyang said, "There is also the small wooden box on the tray, which contains Sister Lan's flying fish ring, which happened to be repaired too , you can drop by and help her bring her back."

"I came to Guangyang City to accept the mission. I guess I will stay here for a while, and come back to get it after I leave." Fu Li said.

"That's fine." Yun Kaiyang nodded, and asked Xiao Gao to put the small box away again, "Are you here for the attack on the members of the delegation?"

"What do you know?" Fu Li asked.

An orange cat crawled out from under the tea table next to Yun Kaiyang, rubbed on his leg, and then jumped onto his knee.Yun Kaiyang hugged it with one hand, and put the hand warmer on the tea table with the other hand.

"I know, everyone in the Tiangong Bureau knows." Yun Kaiyang sighed, "Our people helped catch two monsters, but unfortunately they were just little monsters, so I couldn't ask anything. However, it may be because of the People from the Tiangong Bureau acted, and those monsters seemed to be very cautious, afraid of revealing their identities, they seldom acted during the day, and most of them committed crimes at night. If you want to catch them, it is better to choose at night."

"That's what I planned too." Fu Li said.

Yun Kaiyang stayed with Qiao Jun and the others for dinner, and then asked Xiao Gao to drive them back to the city.

Fu Li didn't ask Xiao Gao to send them to the hotel where they stayed, but chose the place where the monster committed the crime in the mission and got off the car.

The task was randomly picked by Fu Li on the task bar. There were many such cases in Guangyang City, but they couldn't take them all at once, they could only come one by one.

"These monsters who committed crimes are all in Guangyang City. Do you think we will accept this mission, but the monsters caught are from another mission?" Qiao Jun sat on the stone railing by the lake and asked Fu with his head tilted. Li.

They were by the lake in the park at this time, it was still early, and there was a group of aunts dancing on the other side of the lake, and the sound of music wafted faintly along the night wind.

"Then go and pick up another task." Fu Li took out his phone and checked the time, it was only early eight o'clock.

"Then we're going to guard here? It's unlikely that the monsters who committed crimes here before would foolishly run and throw themselves into the net?" Qiao Jun shook his leg.

"Have you ever thought about how those monsters who committed crimes recognized the people from the Tiangong Bureau? They didn't wear uniforms when they went out to work." Fu Li asked.

"That's right! How did you recognize those monsters?" Qiao Jun patted the stone railing, "Humans are different from monsters, and they don't have specific monsters. Monsters with a keen sense of smell can tell the difference between people. smell, but there is no smell that will indicate that this person is from the Tiangong Bureau..."

"Most of the assigned team members who come out at night are responsible for patrolling. They have a fixed route and scope of responsibility..."

"I get it!" Qiao Jun interrupted Fu Li, "The monster is watching. People who often pass by one place at night... No, people who come home from get off work in the middle of the night may also often pass by one place!"

"In addition to watching, those monsters also conducted testing." Fu Li said, "Look at people who often pass by in one place, and try to release their monster aura. Most of the people who respond are from the Tiangong Bureau."

"Then what if this person is a cultivator? Then he happened to pass by the same place every day after get off work in the middle of the night..."

Fu Li squinted at Qiao Jun: "So I say it probably is."

"Oh, how did the monster determine the people of the Tiangong Bureau? What does it have to do with us guarding here?"

"Did I say that I would guard here?" Fu Li asked back, "I have learned from the Tiangong Bureau of Guangyang City that this road is one of the routes they assign a team to patrol. After a while, we will follow along This road is patrolled."

"Let yourself be the bait to lure the snake out of the hole?"

"Well." Fu Li said, "We don't have to catch the perpetrators of the missions we have received, as long as they want to attack the staff of the Tiangong Bureau. They are all participants in this incident and may become clues."

Qiao Jun rubbed his chin, shook his legs again, and then asked again, "The Guangyang City Committee should have re-arranged people to patrol this route, right?"

Fu Li: "Of course."

Qiao Jun: "Then why don't we quietly follow behind the re-dispatched patrol personnel from the delegation team, let them be bait, and we will take the initiative to attack when the time is right? Let a praying mantis catch the cicada, and the oriole is behind!"

Fu Li: "..."

Qiao Jun: "Hee hee, you didn't expect that, did you?"

Fu Li stood up straight and left the lake.

Qiao Jun jumped down from the stone railing, hurried after him and asked, "Fu Li, where are you going?"

Fu Li: "Go find the cicada."
