Chapter 23 The First Prey
Wujia Medicine Garden in Nanxiang Mountain.
This is a relatively large medicine garden in Nanxiang Mountain, which used to belong to the Chen family in the west of the city, and then after the Chen family was suddenly wiped out, the Wu family immediately annexed the medicine garden and the medicine building of the Chen family in the west of the city, and a fool can also see who did the work behind the Chen family tragedy.
As the largest production area of the Chengxi Pharmacy, the guards laid by the medicine garden in Nanxiang Mountain are second only to the mines they developed in Nanxiang Mountain, and after attracting two congenital monks into the palace, the Wu family medicine garden was guarded by a monk surnamed Liu with eight bone quenching guards in the manor near the medicine garden.
The full name of the monk surnamed Liu is Liu Chang, originally a lone casual cultivator, on the whole continent, many monks are accustomed to being free and easy, unwilling to be bound by the rules of the sect, and some are expelled from the sect because of their improper nature and poor character.
Liu Chang only has a congenital early stage of cultivation, he is lustful and greedy for money, so he will be attracted by the remuneration and treatment offered by the Wu family, for him, where is it comfortable to eat and drink spicy food in the Wu family outside, in the manor of the Wu family, except for Wu Chong, the second eldest of the Wu family who was sent to manage it, he has the highest status.
In the manor, Liu Chang's lustful heart will naturally not be settled, and the slightly beautiful maids in the garden have been more or less teased by him, and the complaints of the maids also give Liu Chang a headache, and it is not to deal with it, and it is not to deal with it.
In the living room of the manor, Wu Chong, dressed in brocade clothes, sat in the middle of the main seat, and a middle-aged man with a long face and small eyes sat in his left hand, drinking tea in his hand while crossing Erlang's legs.
"Liu Xianfeng, yesterday you went out with a maid and didn't report it, so I searched for it. Wu Chong said in a flat tone.
Liu Changman said nonchalantly: "It's just to go out for a walk and look at the scenery, Second Master Wu doesn't have to worry." ”
Although Wu Chong was dissatisfied with Liu Chang's attitude, he couldn't show it, Wu Yi told him before he sent him, let him bear with it on weekdays, unless Liu Chang went too far, he could show the family head token.
"Liu Xianfeng, Wu knows that you like young and beautiful women, so I specially asked the eldest brother to reward you with a maid in the house as a concubine, I hope you can guard the safety of the Wu family wholeheartedly. Wu Chong handed a letter to Liu Chang, which was a handwritten letter specially written by Wu Yi.
Liu Chang saw that the signature on the letter was "Wu Yi", and his attitude was immediately not so lazy, Wu Yi's strength was far above him, and he had already begun to break through to the contemplation period, although he could ignore Wu Chong, but he still had the attitude that Wu Yi, an old fox, should have.
There is not much difference between the content of the letter and what Wu Chong said, the only difference is the tone, Wu Yi has quite an opinion on Liu Chang's style, when the Wu family has not fully grown up, Wu Yi does not want to let there be changes within the family, such as Liu Chang's unhealthy atmosphere.
Wu Chong saw Liu Chang's face gradually becoming solemn, and knew that Wu Yi's handwritten letter had an effect, and sure enough, after Liu Chang put down the letter, he said honestly: "Just like the head of the family said, I will pick a concubine next time I go back to Changxiang City, and I will also divide the Wu family into things in the future." ”
Wu Chong nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, as long as Liu Xianfeng protects the Wu family wholeheartedly, after the Wu family is prosperous, you will naturally have whatever you want, and you don't care if a few maids can't do it?"
Liu Chang was moved by Wu Chong's words, coupled with Wu Yi's pressure, naturally he couldn't say anything, so he said with a sneer: "In the future, I promise to do my best for the Wu family, if there is anything wrong with Second Master Wu, just give orders." ”
Wu Chong laughed, the family is like this, one person attains the Tao, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, even if he only has the cultivation in the late stage of bone quenching, but as long as Wu Yi's cultivation is higher than Liu Chang, Liu Chang also has to listen to him, as long as the power of the Wu family can develop step by step, then there will be more and more strong people in their family, and one day they will be able to control the entire Xicheng District of Changxiang City.
Outside the Wu family's medicine garden, on the hillside not far away.
Chen Xuanqi was watching the guards patrolling around the medicine garden, he locked the two cat demons in a wooden cage made of trees, and hid near the medicine garden to investigate the situation, so that the whole plan would not go wrong.
The eight guards of the Wu family took turns patrolling outside the medicine garden every day, two people in a round, patrolling for six hours at a time, but there was a quarter of an hour of changing of the guard between them, which just gave Chen Xuanqi an opportunity.
"I threw a cat demon into the medicine garden in the middle of the night to cause a commotion, and when the congenital monk came out, I used the other one to make a noise, so that he would definitely follow the cat demon into my ambush. ”
Chen Xuanqi had already completely sorted out the entire plan in his heart, a second-order spirit beast like a cat demon was not strong, and that Wu family worshipper would definitely not let such an easy-to-deal spirit beast escape from his hands.
As long as he successfully kills this offering, the Wu family will definitely send someone to investigate, of course, he hopes that Wu Yi will come to investigate in person, and then he can find another way to deal with Wu Yi, the enemy who killed his father.
"Go back and recuperate, and hopefully nothing will go wrong. ”
He is about to face the first life-and-death battle with someone, it is inevitable that there will be some nervousness, if the other party escapes alive, then his future plans do not need to be considered, and the Wu family will also enter a state of emergency alert.
......
The night of Nanxiang Mountain is less mysterious than that of Yuehua Mountains, but it is also extremely beautiful, Nanxiang Mountain has no high mountains and deep valleys, so you can see the whole starry sky very completely, and drink a glass of wine in the night, which is definitely a very enjoyable thing.
Chen Xuanqi didn't have that leisure and elegance now, he was holding two wooden beast cages containing two unconscious cat demons, he was lying in a bush very close to the Wu family's medicine garden, staring at the team of guards who were about to change the guard.
"It should be soon, it should be soon. ”
He kept muttering in his heart, the two cat demons were knocked out by him with his fists on the way here, and he didn't know when he would wake up, and if he woke up now, his location would be exposed.
Finally, at the end of his prayers, the time for the changing of the guard finally came, and the guards heard a drum beat from the manor, and immediately stopped and hurried to the manor.
Chen Xuanqi took advantage of this opportunity to run to the wall of the medicine garden in a hurry, and climbed up with a cage with his hands and feet, this wall is not high, for some larger spirit beasts, it may be difficult to climb, but the agility of this cat demon must be able to easily jump.
Chen Xuanqi opened the cage, held the sleeping cat demon with both hands, and muttered in his heart: "You must lure people over." ”
As soon as he threw his hands, the cat demon was thrown into the middle of a medicine field by Chen Xuanqi, Chen Xuanqi pointed with his right hand, and a finger-thick thunderbolt slashed at the tail of the cat demon, and the cat demon woke up suddenly and began to "meow meow".
Chen Xuanqi saw the cat demon screaming, and immediately swept off the wall, returned to the bushes where he had been hiding, and quietly waited for the people of the Wu family to appear.
After a while, a figure quickly appeared in the medicine field directly from the direction of the manor, it was Liu Chang, the worship of the Wu family, he saw the cat demon who saw the elixir in the medicine field and wantonly gnawed on the destruction, he was so angry that he stomped his feet, he just promised Wu Chong during the day that he would do his best to protect the safety of the Wu family, and the spirit beast came to destroy the medicine field at night, this is not a slap in the face or something.
"A second-order brown-tailed cat dares to make trouble here, and it just so happens that Lao Tzu is in an irritable mood today, so he will use you to be angry. Liu Chang scolded angrily.
Chen Xuanqi heard the scolding outside, and knew that the fish had taken the bait, and a trace of thunder and lightning condensed on his fingers, waking up another cat demon as well, and the cat demon felt the pain, and it was also a "meow" scream.
The cat demon in the medicine field heard the shouts of his companions outside, and immediately reacted instinctively, jumped over, directly climbed over the wall, and ran towards the direction of his companions.
"Brute, it turns out that there are still accomplices outside, see Lao Tzu clean you up today. Liu Chang saw that the brown-tailed cat escaped easily, and he didn't think much about it, and followed him.
Chen Xuanqi lifted the brown-tailed cat in his hand and ran towards the waterfall, even if he didn't use spiritual power, he could control the distance between him and the man and beast behind him at will.
After Chen Xuanqi lured Liu Chang away, Wu Chongcai rushed to the medicine garden with a few guards, watching a medicine field that was about to mature become a mess, Wu Chong's heart was also bleeding, he naturally heard Liu Chang's angry scolding just now, with Liu Chang's strength it was more than enough to deal with two second-order brown-tailed cats, he didn't need to worry about it at all, he was more concerned about how much he lost this time.
"Count our losses!"
After a while, Liu Chang had already chased the brown-tailed cat for more than twenty miles, and the speed of one man and one beast gradually slowed down, and Chen Xuanqi, who was running at the front, saw that the distance from the retreat cave was not far, and he no longer ran forward, but stopped, preparing for the final net.
"Meow!"
Chen Xuanqi released the brown-tailed cat in the cage, and it immediately ran towards the companion who had little strength, and happily rubbed its little head on the companion, which made people feel a little cute.
"Okay, I finally got it, and if I don't skin you cramps, you should still be able to sell for a good price. ”
Later, Liu Chang saw the two brown-tailed cats gathered together, and his expression was overjoyed, the loss of the Wu family's medicine field was none of his business, but if he could get these two brown-tailed cats, it would be his own fortune.
"Ahem, you're right, but I'm the one who got you to catch up with them. ”
Chen Xuanqi coughed a few times, slowly walked out from behind a tree, and looked at his first prey with a smile on his face.
The two brown-tailed cats glanced at Chen Xuanqi deeply, this human caught them and released them, they didn't understand what the reason was, "Meow" One of the brown-tailed cats barked at Chen Xuanqi twice, and then disappeared without a trace with his companion.
Liu Chang saw that the spirit beast in his hand had run away, so he wanted to ignore Chen Xuanqi and go directly to chase the brown-tailed cat, but a thunderbolt suddenly fell from in front of him, making him retreat in a panic.
"I'm sorry, but you can't leave here today. ”
