Chapter 177: Nakshatra Mission

During the Song Dynasty, the Western Regions actually began in the Qinghai area.

Ouyang Feng's White Camel Mountain is also located in the Qinghai area, which is very close to the Xingzhu Sect of the Xingzhu Old Immortal, a generation of evil masters more than a hundred years ago.

Ziqin transported the coffins of Ouyang Feng's father and son all the way to the northwest, accompanied by Lu Guanying, some beggars and Taihu Lake Water Village, as well as those snake farmers brought by Ouyang Feng to the Central Plains.

White Camel Mountain has been famous for decades, but it is only because of Ouyang Feng, at this time Ouyang Feng died, Ouyang family completely cut off the bloodline, and when Ziqin returned to White Camel Mountain with a group of people, it was already a land of nothingness.

The manor originally built by Ouyang Feng was destroyed by a fire, and the family property collected for decades was naturally emptied.

As soon as Ouyang Feng's father and son died, the servants who were originally loyal to Ouyang Feng who stayed behind in the White Camel Mountain immediately swept away all of Ouyang Feng's wealth.

Ziqin didn't have much feeling about Ouyang Feng's servants breaking up, but it was a pity that a large group of people who could keep and command poisonous snakes were missing.

Fortunately, the people Ouyang Feng brought to the Central Plains were the most capable snake breeders, so the loss of Ziqin's part was not large.

Under the guidance of several snake breeders, Ziqin buried the bodies of Ouyang Feng's father and son next to the graves of Ouyang Feng's sister-in-law and brother, and then left White Camel Mountain with a group of snake keepers.

Ziqin has been receiving the Nakshatra mission for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to come to the Nakshatra Sea to complete it, but now he is already next to the Nakshatra Sea.

When reading the original book, Ziqin knew that the reason why Ding Chunqiu came to the Sea of Stars was because he was deceived by Su Xinghe, and it was hypothesized that the secret books of the Freedom Sect were hidden here, but he came to the Sea of Stars to establish the Constellation Sect, but when he really came to the Sea of Stars, Ziqin knew that it was not all the reason.

The main reason why Ding Chunqiu established a sect here was that this place was full of poisons.

The Nakshatra Sea is composed of countless lakes, these lakes are large or small, the big ones are endless, the small ones are only a few square meters, these large and small lakes make the climate here extremely humid, but they are the most suitable for the survival of poisons, plus the large and small lakes derive countless swamps, in this weedy swamp environment is to provide a natural home for poisons.

Ziqin's martial arts have gradually reached the realm of transformation since he learned the Nine Yins, but after coming to the Sea of Stars, he still can't help but feel shocked, the colorful snake tails that faintly appear in the grass, the centipedes with the thickness of his arms from time to time, plus some extremely strange-looking toads and spiders.

This place is simply a paradise of poisons, Ziqin can't imagine how the Star Sect established by Ding Lao Wei more than a hundred years ago survived here, even if it is a person who serves poisons all year round, I am afraid that he will definitely not be able to stand the disturbance of so many poisons.

However, at this time, Ziqin suddenly found that the snake keepers showed extremely excited looks, and they played their flutes from time to time, controlling the poisonous snakes they kept in captivity in and out of those swamps and weeds.

At first, Ziqin thought that these snake farmers were releasing poisonous snakes, but gradually Ziqin felt that this was not the case, because as these snake farmers kept playing the flute, there seemed to be a little more color in the group of poisonous snakes under their control, but it was those colorful local poisonous snakes.

These snake keepers are recruiting venomous snakes.

Ziqin had such a ridiculous sentence in his mind, poisonous snakes are not human beings, how can they be recruited so easily, these snake breeders control poisonous snakes because those poisonous snakes are domesticated by them, because they can control them after years of domestication.

"Task animals are from the group, even the loneliest lone wolf is like this, but many times there are no external factors animals tend to like to move alone, but once there are external factors, such as large groups of the same kind, there will be a considerable number of animals will choose to follow the group."

An old voice sounded behind him in Ziqin's confusion, and he turned around to speak to the oldest of the snake keepers.

Along the way, Ziqin also learned about Ouyang Feng's skills in raising snakes, but it did not come from the fragmentary poison scripture, but from an old man he rescued after he practiced the toad skill, but the old man was the grandfather of the old man in front of him.

"Can you control it from the group?"

Originally, Ziqin didn't pay much attention to a few snake breeders, in his thoughts, even 100,000 poisonous snakes can only sneak attack once, not to mention that 100,000 poisonous snakes are by no means so easy to collect, as long as they are destroyed by the enemy once, these snake keepers will be abolished.

At this moment, listening to the old man's words, he suddenly felt that what he was thinking was not right, and these snake keepers did not seem to be so simple.

"Naturally not, the group can only be controlled for a while, but not for a long time, and if you want to control it for a long time, you have to use drugs."

The old man held his beard and spoke, and seemed to be more and more energetic as he spoke, and after answering Ziqin's words, the old man did not stop, and continued to speak.

"Moreover, there will be a king in every group of poisons, who is the king of all poisons, if the king of all poisons of several poisons is gathered together, the last surviving one may merge with the poison of several poisons and become a well-deserved poison among poisons."

The old man's voice suddenly rose high, and his eyes shone with excitement.

Ziqin looked at the old man's expression and suddenly felt a shock in his heart, the old man's words seemed to make Ziqin think of something, but he was vaguely unable to figure out what it was.

"When the ancestors were forced to migrate out of Yunnan because of the defeat of fighting poison, they have studied the captivity of five kinds of poisonous things, and the cultivation method, if the owner agrees, Lao Er can breed the most poisonous poison in the world for the master, and can also raise the most poison in the world."

The old man suddenly knelt in front of Zi Qin, his body trembled slightly, he was not loyal to Ouyang Feng, so it was nothing for Zi Qin to kill Ouyang Feng.

Of course, the old man originally had no loyalty to Ziqin, but when he came to the Sea of Stars and saw these many poisons, the old man's mind became lively.

Those who practice martial arts will be crazy when they see the martial arts cheats, those who refine medicine will be crazy when they see the treasures of heaven and earth, and those who use poison will also be crazy when they see the poison all over the ground.

The old man was already crazy at this time, but what he didn't know was that Ziqin was even more excited than him at this time.

Five kinds of poisonous things, this sentence finally made the vague thoughts in his heart clear.

"The five poisonous things your ancestors have developed are snakes, scorpions, toads, centipedes, and spiders."

Ziqin's voice trembled slightly, if that guess was true, it was very likely that the old man in front of him would be the ancestor of the Five Poisons Sect who would use poison to shock the martial arts in later generations.

If this old man was really the ancestor of the Five Poisons Sect, then the usage of these snake breeders would no longer be the same as before.

Ziqin believes that with the ability of the ancestor of the Five Poisons Sect, it is by no means only a use for ten thousand snakes to attack the enemy array, the Five Poisons Sect, what is most famous, of course, is poison, what is Ouyang Feng's poison, even if the strongest poison is only from snakes, and the poison of the Five Poisons Sect is comparable to that of the Tang Sect.

Maybe it's because the Tang Sect doesn't have the poison from the Five Poisons Sect.

The method of domesticating poisons in this sect is clearly the method of raising Gu in the legend of the Miao people.

"The five kinds of poison that our ancestors developed are precisely these five kinds."

The old man looked at Ziqin with strange eyes, he didn't understand why Ziqin knew which five poisons his ancestors studied, but he didn't dare to ask, Ziqin's martial arts and resourcefulness had really shocked him and didn't know what to do.

Ziqin let out a long breath in his heart, and there was no doubt that the five holy relics, coupled with the proximity to the Saiwai Ming Sect here, the composition of the Five Poisons Sect in later generations was also a sect leader, two elders, four Dharma protectors, and five immortals, and the high-level configuration of the Ming Sect was almost exactly the same.

"Are you willing to join the Star Sect, although this sect was created by a traitor to our sect, but it also belongs to my sect, and you don't need to abide by the rule that the title of our sect must not be known to outsiders."

Ziqin got up, although he was extremely excited in his heart, there was no expression on his face, and he opened his mouth indifferently.

There was a trace of astonishment on the old man's face, and then he was ecstatic, and he pulled a young man beside him to kneel down quickly and kowtow hard.

Ziqin smiled slightly, the old man's approach was a bit cunning of a small citizen, but the young man was his grandson, and the old man undoubtedly let his grandson worship under his own door by doing this.

Looking at the two people who were still kowtowing on the ground, Ziqin suddenly stretched out his hands, and the strong true qi burst out of Ziqin's palms in an instant and penetrated through the heads of the old man and the young man, and the kowtowing movements of the two stopped, keeping their heads bowed and stiffened there.

The powerful aura spread out around Ziqin and the two, Lu Guanying's expression tightened, and he commanded the disciples of Taihu Lake and the beggar gang to be on guard all around, but he could see what Ziqin was doing.

At this moment, Ziqin was using supreme internal force to open up the meridians in the body for the old man and the young man.

Although the old man is old, he may not have much success in cultivating martial arts, but he can live for at least a few more years through the meridians, and the young man is really lucky.

After a long time, Ziqin withdrew his hand, and the old man and the young man respectfully kowtowed twice, and then immediately ran towards the lake in front of them, and both jumped into the lake.

The old and young people have a lot of impurities discharged, and both of them are experts in captive poisons, and they choose lake water to clean regardless of the poisons everywhere here.

After a while, the old man and the young man returned to their original places, and Ziqin twitched the fragment of the Poison Sutra from his bosom again.

"Your ancestors' art of domesticating poisons is certainly powerful, but I don't think anyone will dislike the skills they have mastered too much, this volume is some of the experience of poisons researched by the traitors of this sect, you can take a look at it, after a while I will send you some secrets on the use of poison and about poison skills, I hope you don't let me down."

Ziqin's voice was indifferent, he had already decided to cultivate these two people well, and even did not hesitate to reproduce the Five Poisons Sect here in advance under the name of the Star Sect.

The use of poison is absolutely not on the table on the rivers and lakes, but few of the top masters will be injured by poison (except for the world of ancient heroes), but if it is placed on the battlefield, poison has unparalleled lethality, and ordinary soldiers do not have the internal force of the top masters to block the invasion of poison.

"Look, master."

Ziqin's words fell, and the old man suddenly expected Ai Ai to speak, and when he spoke, his eyes secretly looked at those who also raised snakes, Ziqin smiled in his heart, and immediately understood what the old man wanted to say.

"As long as they want, they can join the Nakshatra faction, in the future, you will need to command the poison and configure the poison to fight for the protection of the sixteen states of Yanyun, now I am only afraid that you have too few people, you can't configure enough poison, you can't domesticate enough poison, but you will never prevent anyone from joining the Nakshatra faction."

Ziqin patted the old man on the shoulder, those few snakes were overjoyed, you must know that joining the Star Sect means that they and Ziqin are already their own people, although this own person may not be much closer, but at least there is no need to worry about their own lives, at least their own people will not kill their own people.

"Master, can poison really help us protect the sixteen states of Yanyun?"

Lu Guanying said with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Of course, don't underestimate poison, sometimes a jug of poison may be enough to poison a hundred thousand troops, this is the power of poison, the only trouble with poison to protect your land is to clear it, the more poisonous it is to deal with the enemy, the better, but after poisoning the enemy, we must be clear about the residue of poison, otherwise it will be a fire."

Ziqin nodded earnestly, but the pros and cons of poison Ziqin had already thought clearly, whether it was a poison array or a direct use of poison, it was dangerous, this was a double-edged sword, it could hurt others, but it could also hurt oneself.

However, Ziqin didn't notice that Lu Guanying didn't pay attention to the second half of his sentence at all, and all he cared about was the first half of the sentence.

Ziqin's words had just fallen, and dozens of Taihu disciples had already walked out of the crowd under Lu Guanying's gaze, and these people walked up to Ziqin and knelt down together.

"We are also willing to join the Star Sect, please ask Shen Daxia to agree."

The neat voice made Ziqin slightly stunned, and then he smiled bitterly, he naturally immediately understood that this was what Lu Guanying meant, such a strong poison gate, the first one with more of his own people must be to resist Mongolia, and the second is to be safe, after all, this kind of poison door is still in his own hands.

"You should ask the head of the Nakshatra Sect, not me."

Ziqin smiled and looked at the old man, who was suddenly stunned, and then looked at Ziqin with sincere fear, and after seeing Ziqin's extremely sincere gaze, he hurriedly supported the Taihu disciples who were kneeling on the ground with shock, and nodded again and again while supporting them to agree with these people to join the Star Sect.

And at this time, a systematic prompt appeared in Ziqin's mind, and it was obvious that the mission of the Star Sect had been perfectly completed so far.

Ziqin didn't check it out immediately, but commanded the beggar gang and the disciples of Taihu Lake to start setting up tents, but he needed to stay here for a while, first he had to settle down the newly established Star Sect.

A sect can't just have people, it must have a station, and it must have the martial arts of the sect, but these all need to be arranged by Ziqin.

The station is simple, the children of Taihu Lake are all good at building a city, it only takes ten days and a half months to build a camp, as for a more perfect station, it needs the old man to develop slowly in the future, and martial arts need Ziqin to create.

He had already comprehended the poison skills from the Poison Sutra of the Star Sect through the system master, but now he only needed a slight change to create a set of powerful poison skills to pass on to the old man.

Of course, when everyone was busy, the first thing Ziqin did was to check the information given by the system in his mind.

The task has been completed, but the information given by the system this time must be a reward, but this is what Ziqin cares about, and the side quest, but I don't know what kind of reward will be given.

Sitting on the ground with a big grin, Ziqin was not afraid of being attacked by poison, and his consciousness immediately entered the depths of his mind and opened the information given by the system, and in an instant, a feeling of ecstasy came to his heart.

"Congratulations, complete the mission of the Star Sect, the system reward, three classics of the Star Sect, one sect rudder, one Shenmu Wang Ding, one Poison King, whether to receive it."

The reward of a bumper harvest, compared to the effort to do this task, this reward can be said to be pie in the sky, Ziqin only felt for a while that the side quest was simply a welfare red envelope given by the system.

However, Ziqin didn't dare to receive it at the first time, he was afraid that the system would directly conjure up a sect chief helm for him out of thin air, so he didn't know how to explain it, no matter how magical his sect was, it was impossible to do such a non-human thing after all.

Get up, perform light skills, Ziqin disappeared in the eyes of everyone in an instant, the sea of stars is full of lakes, but there are also some gentle hills, Ziqin has been crossing a few hills, and found a very good terrain before entering the system to choose to receive the reward, at this time, even if the system conjures up a sect rudder out of thin air, he is not afraid.

The terrain of this place is very good, and it is absolutely no problem as the helmsman of the sect, and it is also deserted here, Ziqin can only say that this is a legacy of the Xingzhu sect a hundred years ago.

Everything has been calculated, but what Ziqin didn't expect was that nothing appeared after he chose to receive it, just an extra message in his mind.

Ziqin, who was half-shocked, opened the new and extra information, and suddenly an urge to vomit blood surged into Ziqin's heart.

This new extra information is a map, a map of the sea of stars.

"Congratulations on getting a treasure map of the ruins of the Star Sect, according to the treasure map, you can find the reward of this mission (hint, the poison king is the reward of this mission, and it is also the last difficulty of this mission, the hundred-year-old poison king, the poison is thousands of miles, this is the real king of poison)."

There were only a few words on the entire map, but Ziqin cursed fiercely.

Originally, he thought that this mission was really that simple, but it turned out that the most difficult part of this mission was here, the poison king, if he beat him, he would naturally be able to get all the rewards of this mission, and if he couldn't beat it, hehe, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to save his life.
