Chapter 20 Iron Palm Mountain

Chen Youting's death had a huge impact, and the entire Zhong County was shocked. The county magistrate had ordered the city to be closed down, and the constables and yamen run around the streets.

Lie Baichuan was even more overwhelmed. Fortunately, the task they received was not to protect Chen Youting, otherwise no one would be able to bear the responsibility.

At this moment, the imperial court, the royal family and the military sent experts to investigate. Lie Baichuan needed to stabilize the situation and find out something before they arrived.

Yang Shiyun did not return to the county town at all. At this moment, he stood on a high mountain, looking into the direction of Gejia Village, and sighed softly: "Uncle Ge, I have no way to repay my life-saving grace, but I have implicated the whole village's old and young. Yang is ashamed. Although the culprit was killed, Yang will never just let it go."

Yang Shiyun made a human skin mask with animal skin again, changed his identity to leave Zhongxian.

As for the extra house payments paid by the inn, Yang Shiyun will not ask for them back. Yang Shiyun is not too interested in the secret inheritance realm, and his efforts are difficult to compare with his gains.

After all, Yang Shiyun is no better than an ordinary casual cultivator. He is full of luck and Taoist charts and has an orthodox inheritance of immortal cultivation. There is no need to covet another inheritance, because a "Star Dharma Body" is enough for Yang Shiyun to practice to the realm of immortals.

Even if that secret inheritance realm is precious, will it be even more excellent than a heavenly-level exercise like "Star Dharma Body"?

When the imperial court sent people to investigate the cause of the death of the fifth prince to arrive in Zhongxian, Yang Shiyun had already left the area of ​​Zhongxian and rushed towards the capital of Chen State.

Of course, Yang Shiyun did not forget to agree to send the ashes of Ghost Tathagata back to Tiezhang Mountain.

Songyang Prefecture is located on the route to the capital, and Yang Shiyun also took the way to Tiezhang Mountain in Jixian. After all, Yang Shiyun agreed to the Ghost Tathagata and would not break his promise easily.

A month later, Yang Shiyun rushed to Songyang Prefecture with silence. It was only a few hundred miles from Songyang Prefecture to the capital, and it was very close.

Songyang Prefecture is located in the hinterland of Chen State and is extremely prosperous. Merchants from all directions, strange people from the world, green forest heroes from all walks of life, and ordinary people with full spirit. They form a peaceful and prosperous scene between each other.

Yang Shiyun did not stay in Songyang Prefecture for a long time. He only stayed for one night and set off for Ji County.

Ji County is just a small county under Songyang Prefecture, and its scale is even smaller than Zhong County.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Shiyun rushed to Ji County and moved into the inn in the county town.

During dinner, the waiter delivered the meal to Yang Shiyun's room. Yang Shiyun took out a ingot of silver and asked, "Do you know the situation in Tiezhang Mountain?"

The waiter looked at the silver ingot and his eyes were straightened. He felt that the guest was so generous. The flattering smile on his face became deeper, and he replied respectfully: "Guest, you are asking the right person. There is an Iron Palm Village at the foot of Tiezhang Mountain, and the villain came from Tiezhang Village. Tiezhang Mountain is the only high mountain here and is very famous. Tiezhang Mountain is rich in fine iron ore, and the peak looks like a palm from a distance, so it is named Tiezhang Mountain. The mountain is thousands of feet high and there are five peaks in total. The highest peak is called Zhongzhifeng. I heard that there was a martial arts sect on the mountain before, called Tiezhang Sect, but this sect disappeared for no reason decades ago. Now the iron ore on the mountain is jointly controlled by the three major gangs in the county."

"Well, very good, you can take this silver." Yang Shiyun got the basic information of Tiezhangshan and gave the silver to the waiter.

"Thank you for the rewards from the guest." This waiter is just a triple body-building level, which is so weak that a ingot of silver is his salary for half a year for him, which is quite a lot. The waiter immediately restrained his happy expression when he left the room. Although he felt happy, he dared not show it at all on the surface. After all, the principle of not revealing his money is universal.

Yang Shiyun was thinking quietly in the room. He wanted to go to Tiezhang Mountain, and what he needed to pay attention to was the three major gangs in the county, but Yang Shiyun actually did not take such gangs in the small county.

"I'll go to Tiezhang Mountain tomorrow, fulfill the promise you promised, and then you can rush to the capital." Yang Shiyun said in his heart.

In the territory of Chen State, Yang Shiyun dared not reveal his true identity. He is not a guy with a dark personality like Gui Tathagata, who is willing to wear a human skin mask in front of others for the rest of his life.

The technique that can shape and disguise is limited for a limited time. Although the effect is much better than that of a human skin mask, it will not be discovered by anyone.

In fact, it is okay to deceive ordinary people by human skin masks, but it is difficult to deceive some professionals, otherwise the Ghost Tathagata would not have been caught by the people of the court.

Moreover, the Chen State belongs to the category of a secular country and has very few cultivation resources. Yang Shiyun needs hundreds of times the resources that he needs to practice the "Star Dharma Body" than ordinary people. In the Chen State and even the surrounding countries, it is impossible to obtain such a huge resource. Therefore, it is not only dangerous to stay here, but also difficult to improve if his cultivation reaches a certain level.

The next morning, Yang Shiyun set out for Tiezhang Mountain.

Tiezhang Mountain is indeed tall, and you can see its towering figure in the county town. Just looking at the mountain, Yang Shiyun rode his horse and ran, and in the evening, he came to Tiezhang Village at the foot of Tiezhang Mountain.

It was getting late, so Yang Shiyun did not go up the mountain immediately, but instead found a kind-hearted family in the small mountain village and spent some money to live there.

In a remote house on the west side of the village, a young man dressed in a civilian was reporting to several big and tall men: "Report to the three deputy gang leaders that a stranger lived in the village."

One of the big men sitting on the chair asked quickly.

"There are strangers? What kind of strangers?"

"He is a middle-aged scholar who looks a little weak, but the young one can see that this person is definitely not an ordinary scholar."

The so-called ordinary scholar refers to those who have no talent in martial arts, who turn to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and then take the imperial examination and compose the essay officer. However, this type of civil servant is generally not promoted to a high position and can only be used as a secretary of the chief official.

However, such scholars with fame and fortune have a higher status in the secular world than ordinary warriors. They are protected by the court, and ordinary people really dare not do anything to them.

"You go down." The man sitting in the center waved his hand and asked the person who reported the news to retreat.

"Deputy Gang Master Li, what do you think?" The person who spoke was Zheng Xin, the deputy leader of the Iron Gun League, who was sitting in the center, and asked.

Iron Gun Alliance, Tiger Gang, and Xiaodao Society are the three major gangs that dominate the entire Ji County. Among these three gangs, Iron Gun Alliance ranks first, and I heard that Iron Gun Alliance has great connections in Songyang Prefecture City.

Li Xin shook his head and said, "There is too little information, I don't know."

"Lao Jiang, what do you think?"

Sitting on the other side, the most magnificent and luxurious Dahan Jiang Dali said, "Our plan cannot be leaked. Since there are outsiders coming, let's go and test it."

"No, if we hit the iron plate, wouldn't we just compensated the wife and then dismantle the troops?" Li Xin stopped.

"But the secrets in the mine must not be leaked out at all. None of our three families ended up well." Zheng Xin said.

"If this person is just passing by, we will pretend that he hasn't seen it. If this person wants to go up the mountain, that conflict will inevitably be inevitable." Li Xin said lightly.

The other two nodded in agreement after hearing this.

The three of them are all big names in Ji County, but they didn't expect to hide in this small mountain village. It was absolutely shocking to spread.

Yang Shiyun stayed in the small mountain village for one night. The next morning, Yang Shiyun left the mountain village and prepared to go up the mountain.

Tiezhang Mountain is not a barren mountain. It used to be the garrison of a martial arts sect, so there are naturally built mountain roads to go up the mountain.

"Not good, the three deputy gang leaders, the middle-aged scholar is going up the mountain." The people who were monitoring Yang Shiyun immediately reported.

Yang Shiyun was walking on the road and felt a little surprised. How could anyone monitor him? Could it be that he was from the court?

Except for the people from the court, Yang Shiyun really couldn't imagine anyone who would follow and monitor his whereabouts.

But then I thought about it, the secret detective of the Eastern Inspectorate Department of the imperial court could not be so useless. This is a little too obvious. Can this kind of tracking technology be used?

Yang Shiyun was too lazy to these people and slowly climbed the mountain.

Not long after Yang Shiyun went up the mountain, Zheng Xin, Li Xin and Jiang Dali chased him to the foot of the mountain.

A subordinate reported to them: "Three deputy gang leaders have already gone up the mountain. My subordinates followed your instructions and did not stop them."

"Yeah, it's very good." Zheng Xin nodded and replied. This person was from his Iron Spear Alliance.

"Brother Li, Brother Jiang, let's go and meet that friend." Zheng Xin turned to the other two and said.

Yang Shiyun rushed up the mountain and soon reached the middle of the mountain, but just halfway up the mountain, he was stopped by a group of people from the world.

"This friend, this is a private place. No outsiders are allowed to enter. Please give me some convenience." The person who stopped Yang Shiyun was the hall leader-level figures stationed here by three gangs.

There are three gangs, a total of nine hall masters, all of whom are warriors in the early stage of the True Qi Realm.

"Just, why don't I know when this Iron Palm Mountain became a private place?" Yang Shiyun asked with a sneer.

Yang Shiyun was also full of doubts. What secrets does this Iron Palm Mountain have to be kept so closely. It seems that the person who followed him before should be theirs.

"If you don't know, it doesn't mean there isn't."

"This friend, please go down the mountain to avoid hurting each other's kindness."

"I'd like to give you some face, brother."

At this time, Zheng Xin and the other two walked up from the bottom of the mountain, looked at Yang Shiyun carefully, and found that Yang Shiyun was actually at the ninth level of the True Qi Realm, and was shocked.

Even their gang leader is only at the seventh level of the True Qi Realm, and at the ninth level of the True Qi Realm, he is called a top master in the secular world.

As for the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage, there are basically quite few. In the secular world, except for the imperial court, only some thousand-year-old families have such masters in charge.

Of course, there are also some existences like the Ghost Tathagata, but the number is extremely rare.

It is a special situation for Yang Shiyun to encounter a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage in Zhong County, and there are various reasons.

Generally speaking, in the secular world, most people will find it difficult to see a monk in the foundation-building stage in their entire lives.
