Yang Junshan carefully walked through the swamp, and he finally let his curiosity and a hint of greed drive him to chase in the direction of the two groups of people, and decided to take a look.
At this time, he judged from the traces left in the swamp that he should be close to the two groups of people chasing each other, so he had to be careful not to trap himself in the excitement.
On a gentle slope in the swamp, this place has not been spread by the muddy water in the swamp, but it is a good place to rest, Zhang Yueming sat on a stone, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Senior brother, the food and water we brought lost a lot in the previous two fights, what should we do next? And this time everyone followed senior brother to this Nanxuan swamp, and some senior brothers were already secretly speculating about senior brother's purpose."
Xu Jing handed a bamboo tube filled with water to Zhang Yueming, and at the same time reminded him softly.
Zhang Yueming was about to open the bamboo tube to drink water, but when he heard this, he twisted the lid of the bamboo tube and said, "I'm not thirsty, let's keep this water for now."
Looking at the dozen or so senior brothers around him, Zhang Yueming raised a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't know why these people followed him, but he valued his identity as a disciple of the Inner Sect of the Shaking Heaven Sect before he advanced to the martial arts realm, and his praised genius reputation.
Although they did not openly oppose it, some people in private had begun to question their decisions, and some people had even begun to suggest that they run away separately.
This vast swamp, once separated, not to mention the hidden dangers inside, whether one or two people can deal with it, themselves and others will definitely be defeated by the opponents chasing behind them without the slightest power to fight back.
Only by uniting can we make the embellished opponent throw the rat taboo weapon, and we can have the power to fight, and we must mobilize everyone's spirit first, this thought turned in Zhang Yueming's heart, and then he heard him say seriously: "You don't know, the reason why I came to Nanxuan Swamp this time is because I found a clue in the classics of this sect, more than a hundred years ago, a rebellious disciple of my Shaotian Sect once left a cave in the Nanxuan Swamp, There should be some treasures collected by this person hidden in this cave, and there are likely to be magic weapons in them!"
Sure enough, as soon as everyone heard the purpose of Zhang Yueming's trip, they all cheered up, and a monk asked: "Uncle Zhang, you said that there is actually a cave in this swamp, but more than a hundred years have passed, and the cave has not been dug up by others, right?"
Zhang Yueming knew this person, it was the son of Xue Sheng, an inner senior brother of the Shaotian Sect, named Xue Ziqi, his father was said to have gone to Lanshi Town, Chenyu County a few days ago to serve as a town guard, this time he came to Chenyu County, this senior brother Xue introduced his son to himself, and he just wanted to help him a lot.
In fact, not only Xue Ziqi, but also several other young monks who seemed to be different in age from themselves were mostly introduced to them by their fathers, asking their children to be closer to them and make friends.
Zhang Yueming is quite senior in the Shaking Heaven Sect, and after he entered the sect, he was directly accepted as a disciple by the second generation of elders, and in the Shaking Heaven Sect, he was the same as Xue Sheng and other inner disciples as the third generation disciples, but he was young, and these older brothers were not easy to approach deliberately, so they used their children to get close to him.
Zhang Yueming heard Xue Ziqi's question, smiled and said: "No, that cave is extremely secret, if it weren't for someone who knew the location, they wouldn't have thought of it."
Then Xue Ziqi thought for a while and still said: "Uncle Master said so, but after all, more than a hundred years have passed, and no lucky person happened to find a treasure. What's more, we fought with the disciples of the Tanxi Sect twice before, and we have already defeated Senior Brother Lu and Junior Brother Liang, and four or five senior brothers were injured, I think we should withdraw from the swamp first, anyway, Uncle, you also said that the cave is extremely deeply hidden, if it is really not discovered, it will be the same when you come again in the future!"
Zhang Yueming's eyes narrowed slightly, he could see that Xue Ziqi's words were very recognized by some people, and some of them had already vented their anger after the previous two fights, not so much bored, but rather afraid.
"Senior brother, what is the name of that traitorous disciple, and what is there in the treasure he left behind?" Xu Jing, who was standing aside, suddenly asked.
Although this second-generation monk has never advanced to the real realm, he is very qualified in the sect, and there are two brothers who have passed away are both elders of the real world, so their status in the Shaking Heaven Sect is very high.
Zhang Yueming knew that Xu Jing was rescuing himself, and sure enough, as soon as Xu Jing's words came out, the rest of the disciples turned their attention to themselves, even Xue Ziqi looked preoccupied.
Smiling gratefully at her, Zhang Yueming said: "This person's name is Yin Zhuoming, he is a martial arts realm cultivator of this sect for more than a hundred years, and he was once executed for stealing a treasure of this sect, but before his death, this person left a back road for himself to escape from the rebellion, and this back road is a cave in the Nanxuan swamp."
"Because this person has already had the intention of defecting, he has collected most of his net worth in this cave house, including magic weapons!"
"Magic weapon!"
When the young monks heard this, their spirits suddenly lifted, and their eyes could emit light!
Xue Ziqi couldn't help but say again: "Even if there is a magic weapon, I am afraid there are only one or two pieces, and it should also be in Uncle Zhang's pocket at that time, right?"
Everyone was silent for a while when they heard this, even if Yin Zhuoming was a formation wizard who shook the Heavenly Sect, he would already be able to have one or two magic weapons, and even if he found the magic weapon in the cave house, it would not be possible for it to fall into their hands.
Zhang Yueming glanced at Xue Ziqi and said lightly: "I said that this Yin Zhuoming thought he was a formation cultivation wizard, this person once created a new formation based on a spiritual art inheritance of this sect, and this formation needed an extremely important auxiliary object when it was opened, that is, the Wutu Essence Stone!"
"Wutu Essence Stone?"
At this time, everyone was not calm, and everyone present did not know the role of the Wutu Essence Stone.
Zhang Yueming saw that everyone's originally scattered spirit rushed to a small point all of a sudden, and a look of contempt flashed in his eyes inadvertently, but he smiled and said: "Everyone also knows that our Shaking Heaven Sect is famous for the inheritance of earth attributes in Yuzhou, and even the entire cultivation world, the role of the Wutu Essence Stone must be clear to everyone, this time at least eight or nine of the dozen or so people we entered the swamp already have the cultivation of the fifth level of the mortal realm, and the others are also above the fourth level, the martial realm is just around the corner. Although I don't know how many Wutu essence stones there are in that cave house, as a consumable of the formation, it is absolutely impossible to have only one or two pieces like magic weapons!"
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go quickly now, what if those people catch up and snatch the treasure from us?"
More than a dozen young monks had already forgotten the fear caused by the death of their previous companions, and even three or four injured monks were also trying to continue to follow Zhang Yueming to find the cave treasures left by Yin Zhuoming at this time.
"Hmph!" Xu Jing snorted suddenly, and when she saw everyone's surprised eyes looking over, she said with a cold face: "Senior Brother Zhang took everyone into the swamp this time, originally thinking of finding a shortcut to impact the martial arts realm for everyone, Senior Brother Zhang is a real person, in order to avoid everyone's disappointment, he put all the responsibility on his shoulders before he was completely sure, but he never thought that some of you would doubt Senior Brother Zhang's intentions.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, many of them were red, and a few of them were full of anger like Xu Jing, but they were staring at Xue Ziqi.
Xu Jing sneered: "Of course, if there are still people who want to quit now, then I think everyone should be very welcome, after all, there is one less person, and everyone will be able to share more of the treasure when the time comes!"
Xue Ziqi looked panicked and hurriedly lowered his head, but there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
At this time, Yang Junshan was hiding behind a bush in a swamp, and had already strangled three mud snakes that took the opportunity to climb to his side and try to sneak attack.
Just on a piece of mud not far from this bush, more than twenty young monks aged sixteen or seventeen were gathering together to discuss something, and two or three of them were injured.
The clothes of these more than twenty young monks were different from the people Yang Junshan usually saw, but Yang Junshan knew that these people were by no means from Yu County, but from Tanxi County, Xi County, which is adjacent to Chenyu County, specifically they should be monks from the Tanxi Sect.
Although this county is also divided into counties and towns, it is not divided by region like Yu County, but by the number of sects and the scope they occupy.
The largest sect in Xi County is divided into four, so Xi County is also divided into four counties, each county is the same size as the sect's sphere of influence, this Tanxi Sect is a sect that occupies Tanxi County, as far as Yang Junshan knows, the Tanxi Sect ranks third among the four major sects in Xi County, although it is far inferior to the Yu County Shaotian Sect, but it should not be underestimated.
"I really don't understand, since we know the traces of these people, the sect only needs to send two Martial Realm cultivators to sink them all into the quagmire of the swamp, so why send us to compete with these people, and fold into the four brothers."
A fat young man found a dry stone and quickly sat on it, panting heavily and complaining, it could be seen that this person should be one of the leaders of these young monks.
"Fat pig, you are embarrassed to say that we have twice as many people as the outer disciples of the Shaking Heaven Sect, and we are attacking secretly, but we didn't take advantage, now is not the time to complain, but think about how we can complete the task, otherwise we won't be able to raise our heads when we return to the sect this time!"
A tall young man patted the sludge on his hand and beckoned several other leading monks to come over.
