Chapter 329: Yongzhou Tao Family
Of course, this is also because of the good relationship between Lu Dingshan and Qingyang, so they will help for free, and outsiders will not have this opportunity, because refining the pill is also very time-consuming, if everyone comes to Qingyang for help, won't it delay their own cultivation?
After Qingyang made the decision to go out for training, he went to Luding Mountain and told him his thoughts. Lu Dingshan also has this intention, he still has parents in his hometown, just to cultivate immortals, he has not been home for nearly ten years, and I don't know if his parents are still there, as he gets older, he misses more and more, and he has long wanted to go home to have a look, so the two hit it off.
Qingfeng Hall has strict management of disciples, and they need to report to the outer courtyard when they go out for a long time, and on this day, it is the day when the outer courtyard hall is opened, Qingyang and Lu Dingshan went out early, came to the outer courtyard office hall, and found Uncle Deng, who is responsible for the daily management of disciples.
Because of the matter of the wild monkey slope, Qingyang and Deng Changting have a little friendship, Uncle Deng, as Deng Changting's uncle, also admires Qingyang, listening to Qingyang say his thoughts, Uncle Deng sighed slightly, and said: "I want to go back to see after being away from home for ten years, this is human nature, the sect will not disagree, but this place is more than 20,000 miles away from Liangzhou, and it will take half a year to travel back and forth, which is not worth it, so let's go and ask you, if there is an outer courtyard task in Liangzhou that can be accepted, you can visit relatives and do the task, So as not to waste your time. ”
Sure enough, there are many friends and many roads, many enemies and many walls, just because of the friendship between Qingyang and Deng Changting last time, Uncle Deng took the initiative to give this unexpected joy, if someone else came, Uncle Deng would definitely not help with this. The task of the outer courtyard, even if you need to go out to run errands, the reward will not exceed a dozen spirit stones, which must not be comparable to the reward of Qingyang smashing the cultivation yard, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and it can earn a little more.
Uncle Deng led the two to the place where the tasks of the outer courtyard were issued, the layout here is similar to that of the miscellaneous courtyard, all kinds of tasks are written on the wooden board, there are tasks in the door, there are tasks outside, there are no less than hundreds, the only difference is that the remuneration of the tasks in the outer courtyard is much higher than that of the miscellaneous courtyard, generally around ten spirit stones per year.
There are people in the court who are easy to do, and there is Uncle Deng with them, so there is no need for Qingyang and Lu Dingshan to stand in the crowd with their necks tilted and look for them one by one among the many wooden planks, like other disciples of the outer court, but they came directly to Uncle Qi, the steward who manages the tasks of the outer court.
Hearing what Uncle Deng said, Uncle Qi shook his head and said, "We don't have a task from Liangzhou in the outer courtyard for the time being. Senior Brother Deng, you also know that there are not many missions to go out, and most of them are assigned to the inner courtyard, so it is very difficult to find a task in a designated place. However, I have a task in Yongzhou here, which borders with your Liangzhou, and the two places are not very far apart, I don't know if you are willing to take it. ”
Yongzhou is located in the northwest border, with depleted spiritual energy and lack of cultivation resources, and is the least developed state for cultivating immortals on the Kyushu continent, which is a little worse than Liangzhou, where Qingyang and Luding Mountain are located. The major immortal sects rarely set foot here, except for Tujiao City, which is located near Yongzhou City, there are almost no gathering places for monks, how can the outer courtyard have a mission over there?
Youzhou and Liangzhou are about the same distance from Qingfeng Palace, but Youzhou is further north, the two places are thousands of miles apart, and it won't take a month for the Qi Refining Cultivator to rush at full speed, which is not a long time, but if you add the time delayed in doing the task, and the time to stay after going home, the sect party has a time limit for going out for tasks, and it seems that the road has to be in a hurry.
Something is better than nothing, Lu Dingshan hurriedly said: "Pick it up, we take it, what kind of task is this, what do we need to do?" What is the deadline? ”
Uncle Qi said: "The location of this mission is in Yongliang Mansion in Yongzhou, the head of the Tao family in Yongliang Mansion had an accident some time ago and was trapped in a dangerous place, the Tao family is powerless to rescue, and we need to send three disciples from the outer courtyard to rescue." Because of the long distance, the deadline is one year, and the reward for the task is twelve spirit stones per person. ”
After an introduction by Uncle Qi, everyone finally understood what happened, the Tao family in Yongzhou still has some relationship with Qingfeng Palace, and the ancestors of the Tao family have been the head of the outer courtyard of Qingfeng Palace. It was only later that the unintentional dispersal of life was exhausted and did not break through to the Jindan stage, and the Tao family gradually declined, and now the highest strength of the entire family is only the third layer of qi refining.
Some time ago, the Tao family suddenly sent someone to Qingfeng Palace, saying that their head of the family had an accident in Yongzhou and wanted Qingfeng Hall to send someone to help save people. A hundred years have passed, and Qingfeng Hall has no obligation to help with this, and I don't really want to care, but the Tao family asked for the outer courtyard, and the current head of the outer courtyard, the Qingxin Sanren, had been cared for by the unintentional Sanren back then, and the Qingxin Sanren was not good to refuse directly, so he arranged such a task in the outer courtyard.
The Tao family's highest cultivation is the head of the family who had an accident, and the rest except for the two Qi refining layers, the others only have the cultivation of the Open Pulse Realm, and they are powerless to help, so they have to ask for help in the Qingfeng Palace. Relatively speaking, Qingyi Sanren is still very humane, he didn't shirk it, he didn't deal with it, and he sent three disciples from the outer courtyard at once, which is not small.
It's just that Qingyang didn't understand some questions very well, and asked: "Uncle Qi, although my Qingfeng Hall has an old relationship with the Tao family, but it is more than 20,000 miles away from Yongzhou, and it will take at least several months to come back and forth, saving people is like fighting fires, so why did the Tao family find some monks to help in Tujiao City in Yongzhou, but instead came to Qingfeng Hall for help?" ”
Uncle Na Qi said: "It has indeed been a long time since the head of the Tao family had an accident, and when I first got the news, the Tao family also went to Tujiao City in Yongzhou to hire monks to help, but because of carelessness, the whole army was almost wiped out. The Tao family has already declined, and last time he almost drained his family in order to save people, and he couldn't afford to hire people from outside anymore. Moreover, when the monks of Tujiao City heard about the last time, they were reluctant to take any more risks, so the Tao family came to Qingfeng Hall for help in desperation. ”
So that's the case, Qingyang couldn't help nodding, although the Tao family once had a master like Wuxin Sanren, but after all, a hundred years have passed, and now it has long since declined, and the highest cultivation in the family is only the third layer of qi refining, and the family background can be imagined, and it is estimated that the strength of the helpers invited is not very good.
However, the helper who can be invited is almost wiped out, which shows that the place where the Tao family master had an accident is not small, and it seems that this task is not easy, Qingyang said: "Now that it has been several months since the Tao family master's accident, it is unlikely that the Tao family master is alive." ”
