Shendou Continent

Chapter 24 Visiting Xiao Liuzong

Early in the morning, the three of them had breakfast, took dry food and money, and set off for Xiao Liuzong outside the city.He left the city in less than half an hour, and came to a town at noon.

The three of them found a restaurant called Qunle, and ordered hot kidney, fairy chicken, Hangjing beef tenderloin, small river prawns, Chinese cabbage and Baxianhui soup, and a bowl of sea cucumber bibimbap for each person. Lin Youdaiming also tasted the local The Kiriyama yaki, eat with relish.Along the way, the imperial court distributed funds, so they didn't have to think about money.

In Wuyunmen, although the food is not bad, it is not very good. Although Wuyunmen is not short of money and salt, but there is a lot of humidity in the mountains. In order to get rid of humidity, I eat spicy dishes. , which made Lin You very uncomfortable, but Mu Ziyan from Yuzhou in Xishu adapted well.Now that I’m out and I’m not short of money, of course I have to eat and drink well.

After eating and drinking enough, they gave money, almost 4 Ouyue silver coins, and several people inquired about Xiao Liuzong's exact address.Xiao Liuzong was also considered a major force in the area, and the waiter in the shop quickly pointed out the way, which was on the bank of the Ouyue River not far ahead.

This Xiaoliu Sect is a sect mainly based on surnames, mainly the two surnames of Xiaoliu.Back then, the first generation of the Xiao Liuzong, Boss Xiao and the second younger brother Liu formed an alliance to venture across the continent, and after they achieved fortune and broke through the Profound Realm, they came to the Ouyue River and founded the Xiao Liuzong. Big power.After three generations, Xiao Liuzong has existed for more than two hundred years.In order to survive, Xiao Liuzong defected to the Holy See from the second generation and became a peripheral force of the Holy See.At present, the Zongmen's people are still dominated by the two surnames of Xiao and Liu, plus some servants and a few powerful people with other surnames.Suzerain Xiao Yiyang is the eldest grandson of the first generation Xiao Boss, and the flying squirrel is a descendant of the Liu family.

Soon, everyone came to Xiao Liuzong.The three of them handed over invitations in the name of Wuyunmen, asking to visit the suzerain.The guard at the gate got the greeting card, and seeing that he was from the Wuyunmen, he didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried in to report.After a while, the three of them were invited into the main hall after passing through the Sanjin courtyard.Although this main hall is not as majestic and grand as the main halls of the other peaks of Wuyunmen, it still has a certain style. On the center of the main hall wall, the three characters "Juyi Hall" are written quite gracefully.

After the maid served tea, Xiao Yiyang came to the lobby.After meeting each other, Sect Master Xiao praised: "You are indeed from the number one sect in the empire. You are already Dharma fighters at a young age. It is even more rare that the two young men are handsome and have extraordinary bearing. This girl is even more like Jiu Tian. Xuannv, she has her own immortal energy."Although it is a compliment, it is actually true.However, the praise made several people blush, and Dai Ming even said, "Absurd praise! Absurd praise!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the few people got to the point, saying that our door was entrusted by the imperial court, and they were investigating a case of theft of royal treasures.Because during the investigation, it was found that the guard of the forbidden palace at the place where the theft was stolen had contacts with Xiao Liuzong's people, so he came here to ask for the details, and the offender would be Xiao Zongzhu Haihan.After Xiao Yiyang heard this, he was obviously prepared for a long time, his expression was indifferent, and he repeatedly expressed his full cooperation.In fact, the inner guards had already arrested several disciples who were in contact with the guards of the Forbidden Palace in the name of colluding with officials, so Xiao Yiyang naturally understood the emperor's attitude.For some things, as long as the imperial court doesn't directly come to the sect to take people, he will pretend to be confused.

Sect Master Xiao called the hall master who was at home, and asked about the situation of their respective personnel recently, naturally there was nothing unusual.As for those who were arrested, Sect Master Xiao naturally reasoned that they were indiscreet in their personal affairs and had nothing to do with the sect.The three asked a few more questions, and Xiao Liuzong's people responded calmly.

Seeing that there was nothing to ask, the three asked to see the flying squirrel.This made Xiao Yiyang in trouble. He only said that the younger brother of the Liu family was entrusted by the sect to go to the Loulan Empire to find snow lotus in Tianshan Mountain.Going to Loulan here is thousands of miles away, and I'm afraid it won't work if I don't have to go back and forth for a year or two.The three asked about the family members of the Flying Mouse, and Xiao Yiyang only said that he had a daughter, who was also on the road.In this way, after asking around, there is no gain.Before everyone came, they expected that the frontal investigation would have no results, but it was good to come here once to find out the bottom line through direct contact.

The three of them then asked Sect Master Xiao whether they could visit the sect, and after getting approval, they visited under the leadership of an elder of Xiao Liuzong to get a general understanding of the sect's situation.The Zongmen covers an area of ​​about [-] mu, of which [-] mu is fertile land owned by the Zongmen, rented out to nearby tenants to generate income by collecting rent, the other [-] mu includes the core building of the Zongmen, which occupies an area of ​​nearly [-] mu, and the rest are for the disciples and family residence.

There are about 200 official sect members in the sect, of which there are only a hundred fighters, and most of them are junior fighters, and there are more than 800 family servants.Besides Sect Master Xiao who is in the Void Realm realm, the sect also has two elders of Void Realm fighters, and the hall masters are mainly Transformation Realm fighters.Comparing the strength of Wuyunmen, it is definitely not enough. If it can stand for a long time, it will have the support of the Holy See.

When he came back, Lin You was also thinking about how to start the investigation with the strength of the five of them.A normal fighter, at the beginning of the awakening of the soul, is still young and weak, and the combat power is only equivalent to two ordinary people of the same age.After entering the realm of Tongjing, Wenjing and Dharma, regardless of martial arts and skills, the combat power will be multiplied.After entering the Brahma Realm, it increases three times faster.And when entering the Profound Realm, the speed increases four times, that of the Holy Realm reaches five times, and that of the Divine Realm reaches eight times.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if Lin has the five of them teaming up, although they are very good and can challenge Dharma Realm fighters who are 5 levels higher than themselves, they can usually only defeat one or two Brahma Realm fighters. , I'm afraid there is no chance of winning.In the next step, in addition to quickly investigating the flying squirrel, they may need to find a few helpers.

However, the inner guards will not sit idly by at critical moments. Their chief banner officer is also a Brahma fighter, and Baihu is generally a master of transformation, so there is no need to worry about helpers. The key is to find out the whereabouts of the flying squirrel.

At night, the five of them gathered together to discuss the next course of action.On the other side, the imperial guards also sent someone over, saying that the person in charge of following the Holy See's main helm and Xiao Liuzong found a clue. The Holy See's main helm came from two people from the Holy Temple, and they went to a house in Wenjiashan in the west of the city today. Mansion.And Xiao Liuzong's people had been to this place many times before, and the inner guard suspected that there was something tricky here.

Upon hearing the news, several people rushed to the mansion overnight.When they got nearby, the inner guards were already watching.Yang Yang, as the highest among the five, volunteered to go over the wall to investigate.After a while, Yang Yang returned and said that there were only a few women in the house, a middle-aged woman in brocade clothes was in the middle, a waiter stood beside her, and a baby girl, who looked like a middle-aged woman's child. Talking with a candle, but not yet asleep.

According to the clues obtained by the inner guards, the Flying Rat is nearly eighty years old, looks like an ordinary person forty, has married several wives and concubines, the original wife and eldest son are all ordinary people, and has passed away. The current wife is middle-aged, and has a daughter who is still young. Small.In this way, this is likely to be the family of flying squirrels.After discussion among the people, the inner guard broke into the house under the pretext that the flying mouse was suspected of hurting others and took the family members away for investigation.

After dawn on the second day, the five people got the investigation results of the inner guard at the residence.These people are indeed the family members of the Flying Squirrel, and this mansion is the private property of the Flying Squirrel.The Flying Mouse disappeared for more than a month. Long before he disappeared, he placed his wife and daughter here.

After his wife lived in the west of the city, she felt very bored, so she sent someone to invite the female relatives of the same clan, which is why Xiao Liuzong had visited many times.The people from the Holy See Temple were a little surprised in the past. According to analysis, this Wenjia Mountain is located west of the East and West Lakes, with low mountains and low slopes, and a good environment. Maybe he never entered the mansion at all, but just passed by inadvertently, never thought that this place would be targeted by the inner guards.

This time I have gained quite a lot. From the letters received by the Flying Mouse’s family, they know that the Flying Mouse has brought a young concubine to the Guangchu Empire. It is likely that they are hiding in the largest sect of the Guangchu Empire - Xiaoxiang Sect.

Knowing the whereabouts of the flying squirrel, things have a direction.The next step is to go to the Guangchu Empire to arrest people.
