Chapter 673: Cheongju City

Half a month later, late one night, on the Huancheng Lake outside Qingzhou City, a light fell from the sky, stirring up a splash on the lake, and after a while, the light dissipated, and a small boat appeared, and at the bow stood a sixteen or seventeen-year-old short-haired girl, she had a pair of indifferent and quiet eyes that did not match her appearance, casually swept the surrounding scenery, and the map handed over by Zhu Fengyu and Qi Yue appeared in her mind.

"It seems that this is Cheongju. Ye Qianxun muttered.

"This fellow Daoist, please go ashore immediately, during this time, it is forbidden for private spirit boats to sail in the lake around the city!" A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and when he raised his head, he saw an old man in brass armor appear above his head.

She glanced at it just now, and there was indeed no boat on the huge lake, so she put the boat away, jumped up, and suspended it in mid-air, her eyes swept over the old man.

The old man only felt a spirit all over his body, and then he found that the cultivation of the person in front of him was much higher than his own, so he hurriedly saluted respectfully and said: "Senior, I'm really sorry, the top has been checked more strictly recently, and the entire Qingzhou City is not allowed to use flying equipment such as spirit boats, and all monks must walk like mortals." Probably seeing Ye Qianxun's identity as an outsider, the old man reminded him.

"This is outside Cheongju City, why don't you let the use of spiritual weapons?" Ye Qianxun said with a raised brow.

"Senior, as mentioned above, the Huancheng Lake is also not allowed to use spiritual weapons, and foreign monks must conduct an inventory if they want to enter the city. The old man hesitated for a moment, and said with embarrassment, obviously, he was the checker on duty late at night.

"Oh, it's so strict, has something happened recently?" Ye Qianxun asked.

"Hehe, it's not a big deal, it's just that there have been a lot of people in and out of our Qingzhou City recently, and in order to maintain law and order in the city, this order was issued from above. The old man's smile was sincere, but in Ye Qianxun's eyes, this reason was still quite far-fetched, of course, she didn't account so much, and after glancing at the old man, she asked, "What is the method of checking?"

"Senior wait a moment. The old man patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a white jade plate from it, which was crystal clear and translucent, and it was quite similar to the jade plate that Ye Qianxun saw in the waterfront building before that could be enlarged and cultivated.

The old man hit the jade plate with a trick, and the jade plate spun in the next burst and landed on top of Ye Qianxun's head.

"Don't move, senior, just wait for a while. The old man reminded.

Ye Qianxun was about to release his divine sense to investigate, but there was a crisp sound of "dripping dripping" on the jade plate.

Seeing this, the old man's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of vigilance, but when he found a black oval stone chip slowly flying out, the expression on his face instantly turned to consternation.

Ye Qianxun frowned slightly, the black oval stone piece was naturally the identity card of the Xuanhu Club given to him by the masked man surnamed Liu, and it was also engraved with a word in his name.

With a single move, she returned the badge to hers. At this moment, the old man also came back to his senses from his shock, took back the jade plate that shrouded Ye Qianxun, and his attitude became respectful, "It turns out that the predecessor is a member of the Xuanhu Society, and if you know this, you don't need to check the identity of your predecessor." ”

"What do you mean? Could it be that the people of the Xuanhu Society still have privileges in the city?" Ye Qianxun raised his eyebrows slightly, and he looked a little dissatisfied with the old man's betrayal in front of him.

"The seniors actually don't know the connection between this place and the Xuanhu Society?" the old man was stunned and blurted out.

Ye Qianxun glanced at him lightly, and snorted coldly: "The older people in the capital are sleek, but you are still so startled and asking questions when you are old, no wonder Yuanying was just a city defender in the early days." ”

Hearing this, the old man's face turned red, although he felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to show it, and after admitting his mistake, he replied honestly: "More than ten years ago, Qingzhou City was occupied by the Xuanhu Society, and now it has completely become the jurisdiction of the Xuanhu Society, so there is no need for any investigation for the people of the Xuanhu Society. ”

"I see. Ye Qianxun suddenly remembered that when he took the task, the supplementary description of the mission mentioned some safe areas, including Qingzhou City, and now that he thinks about it, the other safe areas are the areas that have been under the jurisdiction of the Xuanhu Society.

"By the way, the senior just asked why the city is strictly guarded, in fact, it is because there has been a rebel party in the city recently. As if he was trying to save his image, the old man took the initiative to reveal one thing to Ye Qianxun.

"Against the party?" Ye Qianxun looked suspicious.

A hint of surprise flashed on the old man's face, but he didn't ask anything, but replied honestly: "The anti-party is the person on the blacklist of the Xuanhu Society, and almost every day there are a large number of tasks on the task list to find and kill the anti-party. ”

Ye Qianxun nodded, "It seems that you are also a member of the Xuanhu Society?"

"Senior Mingjian, but the old man is just a low-level outer disciple. The old man replied.

"It seems that there is still a gap in the strength of the disciples recruited by the Xuanhu Society in various places. Ye Qianxun sighed softly, originally she thought that even the lowest outer disciple in the Xuanhu Society would cultivate at least in the middle and late stages of the Yuanying Society, but she didn't expect that the old man in front of her who was in the early stage of the Yuanying and seemed to have no hope of advancing was actually selected into the Xuanhu Society.

A touch of embarrassment flashed on the old man's face, "Senior, the old man just started at the beginning of the establishment of the Xuanhu Society, and the entry conditions at that time were not too harsh, and they could generally join when they reached the Yuan Infant Stage, which has to go through layers of screening like now." However, there are many disciples like me who are not successful, and can only do gatekeeping tasks to barely maintain the points in the guild, and if there are more new people in two years, the gatekeeper task may not be our turn, and we can only wait to be expelled at that time......"

The old man Xu hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, but at this moment, he opened a conversation with Ye Qianxun. From his nagging, Ye Qianxun also heard some information that the mask man surnamed Liu had omitted, it turned out that there must be 100 new points every year, otherwise he would be expelled from the Xuanhu Club.

If she counts the entry points now, there are only 35 points in total, which is still 65 points away from the 500 new points per year, but if she successfully completes this task, she can get 500 points, and she doesn't have to worry about being kicked out within a year, and she can also use the points to buy some of the things she needs in the Xuanhu Club.

Thinking of this, Ye Qianxun immediately stopped listening to the old man's ramblings and went directly into Qingzhou City.

Compared with Ningzhou City, Qingzhou City is much more deserted, probably because this place is the territory of the Xuanhu Society, and the monks other than the Xuanhu Society are more strictly investigated, and they are unwilling to let people enter easily.
