Chapter 55 Mysterious disappearance
Not many people entered Lingquan Town today. Shen Qingtang thought that this place was too remote, so not many people came.
In order to get the news, Shen Qingtang had no choice but to pay.
"Tell me, why is this?"
The young man took the spirit stone with a smile, and then his expression changed slightly, looking at Shen Qingtang seriously.
"Because since two months ago, people have disappeared in Lingquan Town one after another, and they are all teenage girls."
"In order to cover up this matter, the mayor ordered that only entry is allowed, not exit."
"Didn't the mayor send people to catch the murderer?" Shen Qingtang asked.
"They did, but all came back empty-handed. They didn't catch the murderer in two months, and they lost more than a dozen people. The mayor was afraid that he would be dismissed if his superiors knew about this, so he blocked the news in this way." The young man explained.
It was simply nonsense!
Logically, if the murderer could not be caught, he should immediately ask his superiors for help. As long as the news was reported in time and the mayor did not make a serious mistake, he would not be dismissed.
The mayor's behavior was really strange.
Although Shen Qingtang thought this matter was suspicious, she would not rashly intervene in it.
She herself had a lot of troubles, so how could she have the energy to care about others.
The most urgent thing was to break through to the foundation-building stage as soon as possible, and then find a way to leave here.
"Young man, tell me more about Lingquan Mountain. You know, outsiders like us just want to go to Lingquan Mountain to see the scenery and practice. Now that this happened in the town, will Lingquan Mountain also have an accident?"
For some reason, Shen Qingtang had a bad premonition, but she must not delay her practice.
The young man smiled and stretched out his hand to her. Shen Qingtang understood immediately and gave him another 100 low-grade spirit stones.
"Young master, seeing that you are so straightforward, I kindly remind you that you can't go to Lingquan Mountain."
"Why can't you go?"
"Because several girls disappeared on Lingquan Mountain, so everyone speculated that there is a murderer hiding on Lingquan Mountain. It is not safe to go to Lingquan Mountain now.
"Not only that, the amount of spiritual spring water on Lingquan Mountain has been slowly decreasing," the young man continued. " In
the past, there was an endless supply of spring water on the mountain, and people in the town would often go up the mountain to fetch spring water. Now, the amount of spring water has become less, and sometimes not even a drop of water can be found. In addition, some people have mysteriously disappeared, and now few people go to Lingquan Mountain. "
What should she do?
Now that she has entered the town and cannot leave, and there are dangers on Lingquan Mountain, should she continue to practice?
Except for Lingquan Mountain, the spiritual energy in other places is too thin to support her breakthrough. Shen Qingtang is reluctant to use the spiritual energy in the spirit stone.
It's all money, and she still has to live in the future, so she has to save money.
Shen Qingtang thought about the purpose of her coming here, and decided to go to Lingquan Mountain.
She is a man now, and no one should catch her, as long as she is careful.
"Thank you for the reminder, brother, but I still decided to go up the mountain."
"You should have a place to live on Lingquan Mountain, right?" She didn't want to sleep in the open.
Oh, still stubborn.
"Okay, it's up to you. "The young man is a carefree person, anyway, he has already reminded them.
"Lingquan Mountain is rich in spiritual energy, and the land on the mountain is extremely expensive. Ordinary people can't afford to buy it, let alone live there."
"The town chief ordered people to build special houses on the mountain, with advanced defense formations to resist monsters. If you can't afford to buy land, you can spend spirit stones to live there for a while."
"But ordinary people are not willing to spend that money. Only those who are either rich or noble and young men and women from other places like you are willing to spend money to live there."
"Of course, if you are not afraid of being attacked by monsters or being captured, you can still stay in the cave. "
Arranging a formation is time-consuming and laborious. Although Shen Qingtang learns quickly, her spiritual power is not high, and the level of the formation she arranges will not be very high.
She does have a ready-made high-level formation in her storage ring, but she doesn't want to take it out.
After all, wealth should not be exposed. For a young boy in the Qi Refining period to carry a high-level formation with him, isn't it obvious that he is open to others to rob?
Moreover, she needs to make a breakthrough in a relatively safe place. Ordinary people would not dare to cause trouble in a house built by the town mayor.
After much thought, Shen Qingtang decided to spend money to live in Lingquan Mountain.
"Brother, I want to live in Lingquan Mountain for a while. Do you have any acquaintances? Please introduce me to someone. I want to spend less spirit stones."
"You've asked the right person. "The young man patted his chest with a proud look on his face, "In this Lingquan Town, I have the widest network of contacts."
Shen Qingtang did not expect that this young man really found a channel for her.
In order to be able to break through as soon as possible, Shen Qingtang chose an area with the most concentrated spiritual energy and rented a house.
The houses here are all independent and separate, and privacy can definitely be protected.
For Shen Qingtang, who has been to Lingcui Mountain not far from the imperial city, the spiritual energy of Lingquan Mountain is actually okay, nothing special, but for her, it is more than enough.
Looking at the handfuls of spiritual stones entering other people's 's pocket, Shen Qingtang's heart was bleeding.
Thinking back to when she was cultivating in the Moon-Catching Palace, she could not only enjoy the rich spiritual energy for free, but also had the most powerful, handsome and gentle general in the country to guide her. She was a little bit ungrateful at the time.
The man gave Shen Qingtang a peach wood card. Only with this wood card could the formation outside the house be opened. Others could not enter.
