Chapter 18: The Chaotic Qiu Family
"The early stage of the five products."
Lu Qingshan's heart sank.
The sleeping source demon in front of him turned out to be a five-grade demon.
It's no wonder that the elders of the Qiu family in the early days of the Yuan Infant couldn't even run away, so they were buried in the mineral veins.
They weren't prepared to take action until they had figured out the specifics.
Seeing that the source demon was not disturbed, Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan slowly retreated.
……
Qiu Shiyin, who was hiding in a narrow mine on tiptoe, watching around with bated breath, was relieved to see the two of them come back.
"You've seen it, let's get out of here, shall we?" Qiu Shiyin cautiously glanced at Ji Chuan and proposed
Ji Chuan didn't object this time, "Let's go." ”
Along the way you came, you didn't encounter any more twists and turns when you went out.
At the mouth of the vein cave, Qiu Shiyin counted the harvest of this trip very seriously, "This time, we have harvested a total of two hundred and ten catties and four taels of source stone orchid.
According to the eighty-two opening that was agreed before, I will take forty-two catties and one tael, and the rest will be yours. ”
Even one or two are counted, and this little female thief has a lot of scheming in this regard.
Ji Chuan was not polite to her, and reached out to take the source Shilan handed over by Qiu Shiyin.
"We will have the opportunity to work together again next time." Qiu Shiyin grinned and saluted the two of them with fists, "I'll leave first." ”
When Qiu Shiyin's light disappeared from sight, Ji Chuan waved his hand and threw Yuan Shilan to Lu Qingshan, "These will be disposed of by you, junior brother." ”
For a monk of their level, this source stone mine really doesn't mean much.
Lu Qingshan smiled, noncommittal about Ji Chuan's behavior, and collected Yuan Shilan, "Now let's go to the Qiu family to ask about the specific situation?" ”
"That's exactly what I mean." Ji Chuan nodded.
........
Fenglin Town is the big town where the Qiu family is located.
There are nearly 1,000 monks of all sizes in the Qiu family, plus mortal children and miscellaneous servants who have no cultivation talents, and there are almost tens of thousands of people in one family, and it is worthy of being the largest cultivation family in the burial mountains.
It's just that this prosperous clan in the past is now a chaotic scene.
The family's foundation, the source Shilan ore vein, was occupied by the source demon, and the only two Yuan Ying True Monarchs in the family were still in the ore vein.
For the Qiu family, the great injury is not enough to describe, it can be called a broken muscle.
In the old house of the Qiu family, there was a gloomy cloud.
Several elders of the principal clan and the head of the family were gathering in the main hall.
Today's topic is also very simple.
In the end, do you want to send someone into the ore vein again to collect the corpses of the clansmen?
"Forget about the others, the Qiu Han clan is so important to our Qiu family, and he has made great contributions to the birth and death of the family for nearly a thousand years, so that his body is abandoned in the mine, won't your hearts be cold?" A middle-aged male cultivator asked sharply.
He is the son of the elder of the Qiuhan clan.
"It's not that our hearts will be cold, it's not that we don't value the old Qiuhan clan, it's that it's too dangerous in the veins at this time.
We have already lost the old man of the Qiuhan clan, and we have suffered heavy losses, if we send someone in, what should we do if there is also a disaster? ”
The main monk of the other vein said sharply: "Our Qiu family is already in a stormy situation, so we should act more prudently and not take big risks. ”
For a time, the two veins fought for each other.
Qiu Changqing, the head of the Qiu family, who was sitting on the main seat, rubbed his forehead with a headache.
Why did this source demon suddenly run out of the forbidden area?
Bang!
The noise in the main hall was suddenly broken by an extremely piercing sound of breaking the door, Qiu Changqing's face suddenly sank, raised his head, and was just about to angrily reprimand the house slave who broke the door and entered.
A hurried but surprising voice came to his ears.
"Family Master, the people of the Sword Sect are here!"
The anger and sorrow on Qiu Changqing's face disappeared almost instantly, and the quarrel between the two in the hall suddenly stopped.
"Hurry up and welcome the Sword Sect cultivator in." After thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate again, and suddenly stood up, his voice hurried, "Let's go out together to meet it, don't neglect the Sword Sect's cultivation." ”
"As it should be!" Other clansmen also responded to the Tao.
With such a decision, all the Qiu Clan chief monks in the hall acted quickly and walked out of the door together, ready to welcome the cultivators from the Dao Sect.
It's just that the Qiu clan members, as soon as they bypassed the corner hall, they saw two extremely young-looking monks walking across from each other.
A tall figure, a sharp temperament, and amazing cultivation.
A person with a mediocre appearance and a restrained breath, and he can't see the specific cultivation.
Qiu Changqing reacted the fastest, and didn't care that these were two young people, and immediately saluted respectfully: "I've seen two cultivators, and we are preparing to greet them in person." ”
"There is no need for false courtesy, my junior brother and I are here to solve the disaster of your Qiu family." Ji Chuan waved his hand, and a red light flashed out.
Qiu Changqing hurriedly stretched out his hands to catch the red light.
Lying in the palm of his hand was a Vermilion Bird Sword Talisman.
"Two cultivators, please here." Qiu Changqing laughed with him, carefully checked the Vermilion Bird Sword Talisman, and after confirming that the identity of the monk who came was indeed the upper cultivator of the Sword Sect, he returned to Ji Chuan with the Vermilion Bird Sword Talisman in both hands.
Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan were quickly welcomed into the main hall of the Qiu family.
"You first tell me the details of the source demon." Ji Chuan sat on the high seat and said with a frown.
Qiu Changqing's face was heavy and he told the disaster of the Qiu family.
The Source Demon is a kind of demon beast that is infected by the death qi of Huangquan and transformed, and it is generally not much different from ordinary demon beasts.
But the source demons are a little special, they swallow and absorb the Yellow Spring Dead Qi, so to them, the Yellow Spring Dead Qi is like the aura to the monk, once they leave here, it is like the source of water.
It is precisely because of this that the source demons generally stay in the source and do not interfere with the river water of the human race.
The source is the name of the forbidden area, but any area covered by the dead air of the Yellow Spring belongs to the source place.
But just three months ago, some of the source demons left the source place for some reason and broke into the burial ridge.
What's even more strange is that the major families have gathered people to exterminate a group of source demons, but among the source stone orchid veins, there seems to be some treasure that can attract them.
The front hand had just finished clearing a batch of source demons, and the back hand immediately had another batch of source demons breaking out of the source land.
In this case, the major families are also powerless.
"Does this matter have anything to do with the Source Demon King?" Kikawa asked.
"It shouldn't matter much," Qiu Changqing shook his head and explained: "Because these source demons who have left the source place and encroached on the ore veins are no more than five grades, for the Source Demon King, this level of matter is not worth mentioning, and it is not pointed out by the Source Demon King." ”
Lu Qingshan nodded silently.
This is something that they agree on.
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, since it has nothing to do with the Source Demon King," Ji Chuan paused, "Then it is very likely that the person who is the demon is from the underworld." ”
"The spirit letter said that there is a child of your Qiu family who saw the demon cultivator of the underworld leaving from the source Shilan vein?" Ji Chuan asked again.
"Exactly." Qiu Changqing nodded.
"Can you summon this subordinate to come up and ask questions?"
"Shang Xiu wait a while, I'll call her over." Qiu Changqing was extremely cooperative, and immediately called the house slave and whispered a few words.
A quarter of an hour later.
"The head of the house, the people have brought it."
A young nun, following behind the slaves with her head bowed, entered the main hall.
The moment they saw the female cultivator, Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan glanced at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was incomprehensible.
Because, this son of the Qiu family, who had witnessed the traces of the demon cultivators in the underworld, could be regarded as half of their acquaintances.
Autumn Shiyin!
