Chapter 65: The Scattered Immortal Alliance
Just when Ye Zi was hiding in the cave of the Bird Ling Cliff, studying the Mixed Yuan Heavenly Scripture and stabilizing the foundation, Liu Zheng, Liu An and others quietly sneaked into the Sifang City with a group of Liu family's children.
After Liu Zheng and Liu An settled the disciples of the Liu family, they went straight to the inn where Liu Yi and the three of them lived.
"Second brother, how are you looking?"
As soon as they met, Liu Zheng couldn't wait to ask. Liu Yi's faces were a little unsightly, and Liu Wen hurriedly told Fan Niuniu about it.
After hearing this, Liu Zheng and Liu An couldn't help but frown, and were silent for a moment, and Liu Zheng asked puzzled.
"Second brother, do you really want to take this mortal woman back to Liu's house?"
Liu Yi sighed helplessly, "I had two considerations when I took her on the road. One is to hope that she can help us find the whereabouts of the family heirloom, and the other is to ......"
Speaking of this, Liu Yi's face was slightly unnatural, and he cleared his throat before continuing: "I have checked, she has four spirit roots, and she is at a good age, if she can marry the children of the Liu family......"
Hearing this, Liu Quan and the others suddenly realized that for the Xiuzhen family, in addition to the importance of resource industry and power, the continuation of heirs is also the top priority.
The offspring born of a union of male and female monks are generally not too badly qualified, and may even exceed their own parents. There are too few female monks in the cultivation realm, so the ordinary children of many families have no choice but to marry mortal women.
After marrying a mortal woman, there is a half chance that the offspring born may be mortals without spiritual roots, which is very detrimental to the development of the family.
This is also the reason why Liu Yi brought Fan Niuniu.
To be honest, as long as there is a portrait, they don't have to worry about finding someone, and there is no need to bring Fan Niuniu, who is like an oil bottle.
"I see. Does the second brother know the identity of the person she offended? Liu Zheng asked solemnly.
Liu Yi shook his head, and Liu Wen on the side hurriedly interjected: "The other party's cultivation is unfathomable, and we haven't seen this person either." ”
"Not bad." Liu Ke, who had not spoken, also nodded and agreed: "Moreover, the personality seems to be a little eccentric, and he does not play cards according to common sense." ”
When Liu Zheng and Liu An heard this, they each thought deeply, and the cave fell silent for a moment, and only the shallow breathing of the five people could be heard.
After a long time, Liu Yi patted his thigh aggressively, "Okay, this matter has passed for several days, and the other party didn't come to us to find trouble, it seems that we won't pursue it, and we don't want to bother ourselves." Now, it's time to get down to business. ”
"Well, the second brother is right, then we will discuss the matter of assigning manpower." Liu Zheng agreed and turned his head to look at the other three people in the Wangdong Mansion.
Liu An, Liu Ke and the others hurriedly looked solemn, and waited seriously for Liu Zheng to continue.
Liu Zheng continued: "Originally, we could arrive at Sifang City several days in advance, but later we received a summons from the head of the family and asked us to go back. The head of the family selected fifty disciples of the Liu family for me to bring over, firstly, for fear of not having enough manpower, and secondly, to let the children of the Liu family take the opportunity to come out and experience the experience. ”
Liu Yi shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Fifty? This city is so big, there are not enough people for fifty people. ”
Liu Zheng replied with a wry smile: "There is no way, if you bring too many people, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of other families in the city, but it will not be easy to do things." ”
Liu Yi nodded, "Yes." The Liu family has been in seclusion for so long, I almost forgot that this Sifang City has long been the world of the Wang family and the Tong family. I think at the beginning, his Tong family was just attached to my Liu family......"
Speaking of this, Liu Yi's face was full of bitterness, "Hey, it's been so long, don't mention it." The third brother and the fifth brother, does the head of the family say how to arrange the manpower? ”
Liu Zheng and Liu An both shook their heads, and Liu An said in a deep voice: "On the way, I discussed with the third brother, although the Sifang City is big, we can start from two places." ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
Liu An hurriedly replied: "Second brother, don't worry. Does the second brother know where the most mixed and easiest place to listen to news is in Sifang City? ”
Liu Yi was stunned, "Underground dark market." ”
"Yes, there are many people in the dark market, and the people of the three sects and the nine streams of unknown origin are all gathered, but it is often the easiest place to collect and find out all kinds of news. In addition, the second brother also ignored one place, that is, the Scattered Immortal Alliance. ”
"Scattered Immortal Alliance?" Liu Yi asked incomprehensibly.
"Not bad." Liu An nodded, "Naturally, we can't enter the interior of the Scattered Immortal Alliance, but the second brother knows that the group of the Scattered Immortal Alliance is very large, and their purpose is to cultivate and earn resources. On weekdays, monks who have not cultivated gather in a few fixed places to take on quests, recruit teammates, and exchange information. We can start with these places and we will be able to gain something. ”
"Moreover, it is not guaranteed that Fan Wenbai is the person of the Scattered Immortal Alliance, then things will be easier to handle." Liu Zheng on the side interjected with a smile.
After a careful and careful planning, several people showed satisfied smiles on their faces.
Liu Yi sighed: "Hey, a few days ago, I took Liu Ke and Liu Wen into the city, and I was really distressed in my heart, and I didn't know how to start. Now I really feel like I'm suddenly enlightened, haha! ”
Liu Zheng also laughed loudly, "Haha, the second brother is isolated and helpless, and there is no one to call on him." Right now, our people are being led by Liu Wei and settled in an inn not far from here, disguised as a caravan. ”
Immediately, Liu Yi and the others went with Liu Zheng and the others to the inn where the disciples of the Liu family settled.
Guangjulou is a large-scale comprehensive chamber of commerce integrating squares, tea shops, restaurants, commercial buildings and inns, which belongs to the Sanxian League, and its construction style is somewhat similar to that of modern shopping malls.
Usually, many members of the Scattered Immortal Alliance and various scattered cultivators will gather here to eat, drink tea, stay overnight, take on tasks, and so on.
After Wu Guang and Wu Yucheng completed the task of Ling Li Guo, they had been cultivating until today, and they were preparing to go to Guangju Building to see if there was a suitable task to take over.
There are a lot of scattered cultivators gathered in the central square of Guangju Building, more than eighty percent of them are from the Scattered Immortal League, and the rest are some wandering around and living in a fixed place.
Liu Yi and the others were divided into nine groups, and with the portraits of Fan Wenbai and Ye Zi, they began to split up and talk to the scattered cultivators in the square.
When asked one by one, everyone shook their heads indifferently, and some even waved them away impatiently without looking at them.
As soon as Wu Guang and Wu Yucheng entered the square, they found that the square seemed to be different from usual.
"Cousin, these people look very raw." Wu Yucheng muttered softly.
Wu Guang squinted his eyes for a long time before replying: "It seems that they are looking for someone, it has nothing to do with us, let's go." ”
"Yes."
Wu Yucheng nodded, and followed Wu Guang towards the mission building at the back of the square.
The mission building of Guangju Building is an independent double-storey temple located directly behind the square, and the whole building is magnificent and magnificent, gilded copper tiles.
The first floor of the main hall is a place for receiving tasks, and dozens of counters are lined up in the entire hall, and there are several task books on each counter, as long as you select which task, tell the deacon in the hall the number of the task to register.
Of course, there are often cases of competing for the same task, and at this time, everyone speaks with their strength and cultivation.
After receiving a lot of loose cultivation, Wu Guang and Wu Yucheng walked straight to one of the counters, picked up the task book on the counter and flipped through it.
Most of the easier tasks were picked up, leaving only a few that were either long or difficult and had low returns.
"Forget it, let's go to Wan Peng's place to have a look, maybe he has work on his hands." Wu Guang closed the booklet in frustration, put it back on the counter, turned his head to look at Wu Guang and said.
Wu Guang was a person who had no idea, and when he heard Wu Yucheng's words, he quickly nodded and responded, "Okay." ”
As soon as the two walked out of the mission building, they met Liu Yi, Liu Ke, and Liu Wen.
Liu Yi looked a little tired at this time, but after seeing Wu Guang and the others, he still reluctantly smiled and stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "The two are friendly." ”
Wu Guang glanced at the portrait in Liu Yi's hand, had a number in his heart, and returned the salute with a smile: "Daoist friend is polite, I don't know what is the matter with this Daoist?" ”
"Excuse me, the three of us are looking for two friends. I've heard they've been here, so I'm here to find out the news. Saying that, Liu Yi hurriedly handed the portraits of Ye Zi and Fan Wenbai to Wu Guang and continued: "It's these two people, I don't know if the two Taoist friends have seen it?" ”
After Wu Guang and the others saw the portrait of Fan Wenbai on the portrait, they were slightly taken aback, and Wu Yucheng blurted out with a glare: "This ......"
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Liu Yi hurriedly asked, "Can the two Taoist friends know this person?" ”
Wu Yucheng did not answer directly, but turned his head to look at Wu Guang. Wu Guang groaned for a while, and then looked at Liu Yi suspiciously and asked, "Why are you looking for him?" ”
"This ......" Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly explained: "He is traveling with one of my nieces, I am looking for him to find my niece, do you know where he is now?" ”
Wu Guang nodded thoughtfully and did not speak again. Wu Yucheng on the side saw that Wu Guang did not speak, so he also stood aside and remained silent.
Seeing that the two of them suddenly stopped talking, Liu Yi's heart moved, and he reached out and touched five spirit stones and handed them over with a smile.
"This is what I invited two Taoist friends to tea, and I also asked two Taoist friends to tell me the whereabouts of the person who painted this portrait."
Wu Guang didn't push back, and directly accepted the spirit stone, Wu Yucheng on the side saw this, his eyes were slightly happy, he didn't expect that his luck was so good today, and someone sent money to the door as soon as he went out.
"This person's name is Fan Wenbai, and like me, he joined the Scattered Immortal Alliance a few years ago. I've done a few missions with us before. Ten days or so ago, we had seen him in a forest on the east side of the Hundred Demon Forest, and he was followed by the woman in the portrait. ”
"And then?" Liu Yi hurriedly asked.
Liu Ke and Liu Wenjian, who were behind Liu Yi, finally found out the news, the tiredness on their faces was swept away, and they looked at Wu Guang and the others with excited expressions.
"Later? We've been cultivating since we got back to the city, and we've just gone out today. ”
The brilliance in Liu Yi's eyes suddenly dimmed, his face showed disappointment, and he continued to ask without giving up: "Does that fellow Daoist know where his residence is?" ”
"He lives in Kun Yuan, and we are discharged. You go to the Kun Academy of the Scattered Immortal Alliance and ask, you should be able to inquire. ”
"Thank you!" Liu Yi's face was happy, and he hurriedly bowed to the two, "Farewell." ”
With that, Liu Yi led the other Liu family disciples in the square and hurriedly went to the station of the Scattered Immortal League.
