Chronicles of Celestial Origins
Chapter 522 Bait
In Gufang City, Tainan, a ray of light shot out, and a man with a beard and cheeks appeared. It was Wang Jingxuan who had fled. With a wave of his hand, the talisman disappeared into the light curtain. After a while, the light curtain melted away. gap.
Wang Jingxuan flashed into the inner room and went straight to the shop opened by the Wang family.
"Uncle Jingxuan, uncle Jingxuan." Seeing him coming in a hurry, the two Wang family members saluted.
Wang Jingxuan ignored it and went straight to the third floor of the attic, pushing the door open and entering.
Inside, a man with big ears and slightly white temples was sitting cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed and practicing Qi. When he noticed someone pushing the door directly in, he opened his eyes and was about to scold him.
Seeing Wang Jingxuan walking in a hurry and looking anxious, he asked in surprise: "Jingxuan, why did you come by yourself? Why didn't you notify me? What happened?"
For shops in Fang City, when transporting materials, you must first greet the management office staff. After they send personnel to inspect, they will escort them into the shops. Wang Puchen knows that the escorted materials will arrive in the next few days, so he waits here.
In the past, the escorted materials were parked outside, and a disciple was sent to notify him first. Then he went to the management office to report, and then the city guards escorted the materials into the shop. Seeing his demeanor today, Wang Puchen knew it in his heart. Something must have happened.
Wang Jingxuan said: "The items we were escorting were robbed by a monk on the way. I had a big fight with him and ran away. You should report the matter to Fang City quickly and they will send people to deal with it. If you go after him now, he will still We can’t go far, but we may still be able to recover the supplies.”
"They were robbed. Who is so bold and dares to rob my Wang family's things?" Wang Puchen asked in disbelief, feeling shocked and angry. He had been in charge of the shop here for decades, and the people who came and went, Whenever he heard the name of the Wang family, he would give him some face, but he never expected that such a thing would happen.
Wang Jingxuan said: "I don't know. The other party was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, and his face couldn't be seen clearly. He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and he directly attacked us. I signed up for my number, but he ignored me, as if He came here specifically for us, Pu Chen, I feel like this is not an easy matter."
Wang Puchen asked: "What is the other party's cultivation level?"
"Cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building."
"Only one person?"
"Yes. If he is carrying a heavy stone box, he will definitely not be able to walk far. I think he will definitely hide the stone box somewhere nearby. If we go after him now, we may be able to catch him on the spot."
"Okay, I will go to the person in charge of the city immediately and ask them to send out manpower to search immediately." Wang Puchen responded. The two of them left the shop and after a short walk, they came to a majestic mansion in the northwest corner. In front of the house.
"Two seniors, this is Mr. Jiang's residence. Please stay and wait until I inform you." There were two men wearing Baoxing Chamber of Commerce costumes standing in front of the residence, and one of them said.
"Just say that Wang Puchen has something urgent to ask for."
"Okay." The man responded, turned around and entered the courtyard. After a while, he returned to the two of them and saluted: "Master Jiang, please come in, two seniors."
The two of them entered the inner room and came to the first hall. Sitting on the main seat was a middle-aged man with a leopard head and ringed eyes.
"Brother Wang, why are you here? Who is this?" the man on the main seat said.
"Brother Jiang, Wang has something to ask for this time."
"Brother Wang, it's okay to say it."
Wang Puchen said: "This is my brother-in-law Wang Jingxuan. Just two hours ago, my brother-in-law escorted our government's supplies to Fangshi and was robbed by gangsters on the way. I would like to ask Brother Jiang to send monks from your chamber of commerce to follow me. Go and catch the thief. If the thief carries the stone box and runs away, he will definitely not be able to get far. If you go now, you can catch him in one fell swoop. My whole family is grateful and will be greatly thanked."
"Oh? Is this happening?" The man surnamed Jiang asked in surprise: "Who is so bold as to rob the supplies escorted by your Wang family?"
Wang Puchen said: "The person who came was wearing a black robe and a hat on his head. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he was definitely a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. My younger brother had a big fight with him and was defeated and fled."
"How many people are there on the other side?"
"Only this one person."
The man surnamed Jiang pondered for a while and said: "Your supplies were sent to Fangshi for sale, but they were robbed nearby. This is a problem with our chamber of commerce. Brother Wang, don't worry, I need to get to the bottom of this matter. Who's here? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked in from outside and saluted, "What are your orders, Mr. Jiang?"
"Go and fetch Deputy Leader Chen immediately."
"Yes." The man responded and retreated.
In less than a stick of incense, a man with a fair complexion and a tall figure came in from the outside, saluted and said, "Why did Mr. Jiang call me?"
The man surnamed Jiang said: "The materials escorted by this brother Wang were robbed by a thief just now. This batch of materials was transported to a shop for sale, but was robbed near our city. If thieves are rampant, they will all be in our city." If items are looted near the market, how can we do business in the future? You immediately lead people to follow the two fellow Taoists to search for the thief and capture him."
"Yes." The man surnamed Chen responded.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang." Wang Puchen said.
"Go quickly! Don't let the thief escape."
The three of them came out of the attic. The man named Chen ordered a team, and more than twenty people left Fangshi and headed to the southeast.
The first few people turned into escaping lights and walked for an hour or two, arriving in a mountain forest.
Wang Jingxuan pointed to the mountain forest in front of him and said, "The thief emerged from here and attacked us."
Several people escaped from the light and fell into the mountains and forests, and soon found the stone box. The items inside were turned into a mess and scattered on the ground.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, are these the materials that were robbed from you?" the man surnamed Chen asked.
"Yes, it belongs to us. Most of the things are still there, but some valuable items such as vitality pills, spiritual weapons and spiritual talismans were taken away."
"The other party did not escape with a heavy load, but only took away some valuable items. It seems that he has gone far away. After such a long time, you don't know the appearance of the other party. It is impossible to pursue him again. Let's do this. ! I sent people to transport the remaining supplies back to Fangshi."
Wang Jingxuan and Wang Puchen looked at each other and could only nod helplessly.
………………
In Gufang City, Tainan, Tang Ning was leaning against the window, watching the Chamber of Commerce team follow Wang Jingxuan out of the city. He smiled slightly. The bait had been thrown out, and it was just a matter of whether the fish would take the bait.
After plundering the Wang family, he used the phantom veil to change his appearance, adjusted his spiritual power fluctuations to the early stage of foundation building, and went straight to Fang City. Wang Jingxuan probably would never have thought that the person who robbed his supplies was there. Under his nose, he quietly watched his every move.
This time against Wang Jingxuan, Tang Ning had a small test. After his Shura body was promoted to the second level, his body was tempered by the golden light and became very tough. When used, the effect was actually better than he expected.
With just one blow, it was like a steel knife cutting through tofu, defeating the golden man. This was something he didn't expect.
You must know that the golden brilliance in his body is only a small part of the refining and absorption, and it can have such power. If it is completely absorbed and refined, and used, its power may be close to the physical strength of the monster beast.
In fact, when he faced off against the condensed golden man, he didn't have much confidence in his heart. He just had the mentality to give it a try. With his strong healing power, even if he was hit by the golden man head-on, there wouldn't be any big problem. With such protection, he dared to give it a try.
He never thought that he could defeat the condensed golden man with just one blow. Looking at Wang Jingxuan's appearance at that time, the power of this technique should be quite high, which is why his expression changed drastically.
But having said that, just how powerful the magical powers of a mere monk in the early stages of foundation building can be. Don’t overestimate the toughness of your own body! Tang Ning was secretly alert in her heart. When she saw everyone in the Chamber of Commerce moving away and disappearing, he sat down cross-legged and refined the golden brilliance in his body.
………………
The Ziyang Mountains are located in the southeast of the Central Plains, with a length of hundreds of miles and bordering South China. There is a place above the mountains that is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, where the Wang family's residence is located.
It was late at night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. A ray of light came from the south, fell straight into the mist-shrouded mountain forest, and appeared in front of a majestic palace. It was Wang Jingxuan who had come from Tainan Valley.
"Uncle Jingxuan." The man in front of the palace saluted him when he saw him.
"Is Brother Xuan in the inner room?"
"here I am!"
Wang Jingxuan entered the palace, came to a room, and knocked on the door: "Zhongxuan, it's me."
"Come in."
Wang Jingxuan pushed the door open and walked in. There was a middle-aged man with a thin figure and bright eyes sitting cross-legged inside. It was Wang Zhongxuan: "You are back, is everything going well?"
"Our things were robbed near Tainan Valley. Fortunately, people from Fangshi were dispatched and most of the items were recovered. Only some vitality pills, spiritual talismans, spiritual weapons, etc. were stolen."
"What's going on? Who did it?" Wang Zhongxuan frowned and asked after hearing this.
Wang Jingxuan said: "I don't know. The other party was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat. He was in the middle stage of foundation building. He didn't say a word and just took action. I was defeated and fled. When I got to Fangshi, I invited people from the Chamber of Commerce. Go ahead and catch it."
"But that person has long since disappeared. Only the stone boxes for escort items are scattered on the ground, and some valuable items have been taken away. Zhongxuan, I don't think this matter is simple. The other party came specifically for us."
"I think he has been lurking there for a long time, waiting for us to pass by, and since I registered my number, he has completely ignored me. After robbing the supplies, he only took away some of the higher value ones. This is really strange. It is definitely not true. It’s as simple as just passing by and looting items.”
Wang Zhongxuan fell into deep thought and said for a long time: "How are the others?"
"There were no casualties. We are on our way back now."
"Do you think someone is deliberately targeting our Wang family?"
"It must be so."
Wang Zhongxuan: "I will wait until I report this to the head of the family. You can go with me later."
