Daqizong

For several days, under Li Wan's instruction, Lin Jinghong, Xiao Yilong and others went deep into the ground to kill demons and goblins, and explore the mine veins.

At this moment, in the deep and dark cave, several flickering lights appeared. It was Lin Jinghong who personally lit the lantern and walked in front, leading several monks to go deeper.

After walking for a while, Lin Jinghong looked at the map in his hand, stopped and said to everyone: "Look at this map, we will soon reach an abandoned mine in front of us. When we get there, let's take a rest."

Following him were four dead soldiers and six casual cultivators, so naturally there was no objection.

"and many more!"

Suddenly, a casual cultivator showed some joy on his face. Amidst the bewilderment of others, he walked to the cave wall and carefully examined the nearby rocks.

He knocked on it with his hands, and broke it hard, breaking off a piece of blue and yellow mixed soil from the top.

"What is this?"

Everyone gathered around curiously.

The monk laughed loudly and said: "This is called cloud soil, but it is a good thing to grow."

"Where's the good?"

"It seems that I have never heard of it."

The monk smiled and explained: "It is not a precious treasure, most of it is mined and used as the foundation of the formation, but there is one thing that is often born near the Yunling soil mine. Look at this cloud soil If it is found, there must be a large Yunling soil mine nearby, and if you find it, you can get a few pieces of ore mother containing spirituality from it, and they are all precious materials worth nearly a million."

When everyone heard the words, they were overjoyed.

If so, it is really a good thing.

This cultivator happened to have a leader who recognized this thing, and sure enough, he quickly roughly judged the direction of the spiritual energy based on the distribution of the veins, and headed for the predicted treasure.

After another cup of tea, there was indeed a small amount of spiritual light in front of him, and there were faint white stones like cloud mud.Inlaid on the front mountain wall.

These are all raw mineral materials. Everyone's eyes passed over a large number of ordinary ores, and they were soon attracted by a few of the more conspicuous crystal stones that exuded a bright light like starlight.

This kind is the best among the mine veins, and the value of just one piece is worth much more than the surrounding ones.

"As expected!" Everyone said happily.

But at this time, everyone also noticed that there seemed to be many basin-sized, dark red monsters hanging on the cave wall, and those monsters were startled by the sound of their arrival.Sprint down rustlingly.

Someone woke up: "Be careful, it's a vampire mephit."

Everyone was not too surprised, but said: "It's just in time, let's wipe them out!"

Although this kind of mephit looks hideous, it is just some spirit monsters in the realm of refining Qi. They have not even opened their spiritual wisdom, and everyone is a master in the realm of forming alchemy. How can they be afraid?After a while, they gave their collars.Kill them all.

Without further ado, everyone packed up the concentrate, picked up the demon corpses, and took away all the precious things that could be sold for spirit jade.

After all, the space in the treasure bag is limited.It is also troublesome to carry trivial sundries, otherwise, I am afraid I will stay and dig for a while.

Lin Jinghong saw that everyone still had some unfinished looks, and said with a smile: "Dear friends, there are more valuable treasures ahead, let's clear up the demons entrenched everywhere first."

Although it is a shame to drill around in the depths of the ground.It's not like a monk's place for a long life, but Lin Jinghong and others and the casual monks they brought with them never tire of it, because wherever they go, it happens to be those closed mine veins that have been out of use for a long time, and they can kill demons all the way. Head, collecting treasures along the way.

However, after all, the matter of killing demons is more important. This is related to Li Wan's control here, and it is also convenient for setting up a magic circle and sending people to sit in the town in the future.

Lin Jinghong was a guest of the Li family, so naturally he couldn't let everyone else care about his own interests and not do business.

Everyone said yes, so they moved on.

……

"Ming Yan, how is the cleaning going on in the mine now?"

A few days later, Li Wan also asked about the progress of Lin Jinghong and others after reading the reports of sporadic battles in other places.

Lu Mingyan said: "Master, I was just about to report this matter to you. Under the leadership of Lin Daoyou and Xiao Daoyou, the casual cultivators and dead men have all served their lives wholeheartedly. They have cleaned up all the mines from No. [-] to No. [-]. Right now, there are only more than [-] mines above T-[-] that have not been identified, but according to the previous progress, I believe that this matter can be completed today and tomorrow."

"Is it almost finished?" Li Wan nodded slightly in approval.

It took less than ten days from when Lin Jinghong and others came here to completing the cumbersome task of clearing the ground, and this efficiency is still very high.

Of course, this is also the reason, most of the sent are alchemy masters.

There were hundreds of alchemy monks going down the mine, and all the difficulties encountered along the way were easily solved. This kind of lineup is also impossible for ordinary families to put up.

Even the Long family, the main family of the Lishan Mine, has more than a hundred alchemy masters and dead soldiers, and it is impossible for them to do this. It is impossible for them to mobilize all at once and leave other foundations alone.

"In the past, the Long family didn't care about it. First, the value of mining was not high, and the cost was greater than the harvest. Second, all of them went to the mine. Once there was a problem, it was very easy to fall into a situation where there was no end. However, now we put this After the work is done, you will have a complete map of the veins in your hands, and you can also set up a large formation according to the direction of the veins, and closely monitor them."

"Yes, this is the first step in controlling the entire mine vein. It is to establish such a large formation to protect the mountain, and then to sit in the center and manage the mine vein. If there is a large formation, only a few alchemy masters need to take turns to guard it. Experienced disciples, foundation-building guards, and dead soldiers are enough to ensure the safety of hundreds of miles around." Li Wan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Speaking of the big formation, is the Taoist talisman from Tianshumen here?"

Tianshumen is a Zhongzhou sect with medieval inheritance. Although it is not as good as the top ten sects, it is also a sect that follows Wanjianmen, Yulingzong, Jialanmen and other sects. Famous in the world.

Although Li Wan is also proficient in formations and even has the level of a master, he is not specialized in this after all. If he wants to facilitate deployment and maintenance, he will have to pay some money. Please hire such professionals.

The Daoist Fu he mentioned was a true disciple of the Tianshu Sect named Fu Huaizhen, who was rumored to be of extraordinary background, and he was the default candidate for the stewardship of the Sixth Court.

Li Wan also met this person through the recommendation of the Mu family, and specially invited him to take charge of this matter.

"Fellow Daoist Fu is on his way and won't arrive until tomorrow. However, the formation map he laid out has been delivered, please take a look at it, Master."

Generally speaking, the Master of Formation Dao is invited to set up a large formation without the intervention of customers, but since Li Wan himself has a good level of formation, it is more reassuring to see it.

Li Wan is not an ordinary peak master, so Fu Huaizhen couldn't refuse this request.

Li Wan took the array map from Lu Mingyan, looked at it for a while, but said: "When Fellow Daoist Fu arrives, you can directly invite him to the construction site, and I want to discuss important matters with him."

He didn't seem to care too much about this, but had other arrangements.

On the second day, Li Wan personally supervised the construction outside the mine.

At this time, a large number of handymen had been recruited by the Long family to open mountains and fill valleys according to the requirements, and transform the terrain, so that the terrain of the land veins and the direction of the spiritual energy changed according to their wishes.

Between the mine and Hanshan Terrace in the nearby Fang City, there is a place called Wangyue Valley. It is the center of the mountain guard formation chosen by Li Wan this time. In the future, it is necessary to establish another courtyard here when sending masters to sit in the town.

"Master, Fellow Daoist Fu is here."

At noon, Lu Mingyan led a middle-aged man to the valley.

This middle-aged man is the master of the formation of Tianshumen. When he saw Li Wan, his eyes flashed with surprise. He seemed to be surprised that Li Wan was as young as the rumors. , any age, seniority, and background have lost their meaning. He is not from a top family like the Lu family. When he sees him, he still obediently holds the junior ceremony, and respectfully said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Fu is polite."

Li Wan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Fu, you came at a good time. Come over and see how the Feng Shui energy of this place is, has it been modified according to what you wrote in your previous letter?"

Li Wan had already arrived at this place, so naturally he wouldn't wait and do nothing, so construction and reconstruction had been started all the time.

The Long family even advised them not to start so soon, at least wait until the situation stabilizes.

They were afraid that if there was a big battle, the formation that had just been built would be destroyed, and it would be a waste of money and people.

However, Li Wan had other arrangements for this, so he didn't wait according to their wishes.

Fu Huaizhen looked at it for a while and exclaimed: "It has been transformed to perfection. It seems that Master Li is indeed worthy of being a master of both weapons and formations."

Li Wan said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Fu praised you absurdly. As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry. For such matters of formation, it still needs a master of formation like you to come and supervise the construction. It’s just to make some necessary preparations so that fellow daoists can take over.”

Fu Huaizhen said: "The grandmaster is too modest. By the way, I don't know what the grandmaster wants to transform the mountain guard formation of this mine into. Please express it here, but I have an order, and Fu Mou dare not refuse."

Contrary to Fu Huaizhen's expectation, Li Wan did not express his request immediately, but instead smiled meaningfully, waved his hands and said, "This is not urgent, I invite fellow Taoists here to see something else."

As he spoke, he motioned to Mi Yan beside him to spread out the detailed map of the spiritual veins in the deep underground mine that Lin Jinghong and others have been exploring day and night for a few days.

This is a huge underground world, with complex terrain and the direction of evil spirits, forming a complex and unusual natural labyrinth.

Li Wan pointed to this picture and asked Fu Huaizhen, who was slightly stunned: "I want to know, if this place is connected to the void, where is the weakest place that may be broken through and attacked? If you know it in advance, is there any A way to lead the attackers to another place through a large formation?" (To be continued...)
