Chapter 331: Yongliang Mansion
After a night of silence, the next morning, after Qingyang and Lu Dingshan converged, the two came to Chen Biwang's residence together. Senior Brother Chen has been waiting for a long time, in addition to him, there is also a young man in his early thirties, who only has a cultivation of the first level of Qi refining, which should be the Tao family that Senior Brother Chen said.
After everyone gathered, they left the outer courtyard together and headed towards the mountain gate of the Qingfeng Temple. The four of them chatted while walking, and Qingyang and Lu Dingshan soon had a detailed understanding of the Tao family's affairs.
The head of the Tao family is named Tao Youcheng, who is about sixty years old, and his cultivation is in the third layer of qi refining. In addition to Tao Youcheng, the Tao family also has two other Qi refining cultivators, one is Tao Youcheng's younger brother Tao Yougong, who is a second-level Qi refining cultivator. The other is Tao Youcheng's son Tao Zhengyou, who is the young man on the first level of Qi refining next to him, and the rest of the Tao family is in the Open Pulse Realm.
Tao Youcheng's two brothers have limited qualifications, and they are nearly sixty years old and still in the early stage of qi refining, so they have long lost hope for their future, and put all their energy into their son Tao Zhengyou, so Tao Zhengyou will break through to the qi refining period at a young age.
Who knew that there was a sudden change half a year ago, and Tao Youcheng, the head of the family, accidentally heard that a treasure was born in a dangerous place, and took several Tao family members to hunt for treasures, but people were trapped inside.
After getting the news that the head of the family was trapped, the Tao family spent a huge price and organized many monks to rescue, but the people were not rescued, and the people who rescued people also had accidents inside. After that, it was more difficult to find someone, on the one hand, the Tao family could not pay such a big price, and on the other hand, it was also the result of saving people before, which made most monks daunted.
In desperation, Tao Zhengyou remembered that the ancestors of the Tao family had some relationship with Qingfeng Palace, so he came to Qingfeng Hall thousands of miles away, and finally asked for the head of the outer courtyard Qingxin Sanren, hoping that Qingfeng Hall could send a few people over to help save people for the sake of the previous unintentional Sanren.
Everyone has heard Uncle Qi say it once, and now that they have heard Tao Zhengyou's personal story, their understanding of this matter is more real. It took several months to go back and forth from Yongzhou to Qingfeng Palace, if it wasn't for the desperate situation, presumably this Tao Zhengyou would not have come all the way to Qingfeng Palace, so it can be seen that there is really no way to think about it.
For the sake of the unintentional scattered person who was the head of the outer courtyard of the Qingfeng Palace, and for the sake of Tao Zhengyou's filial piety, this time he said that he would also help with this.
The four of them chatted while walking, and it didn't take long for them to leave the mountain gate of Qingfeng Hall and head towards Yongzhou. The cultivation of the four people is not high, and they can't reach the level of the flying sword, as for the flying spirit beast, not to mention that the Qingfeng Hall doesn't have it, even if there is, they can't afford to rent it, so they can only rely on two legs to hurry.
From Qingfeng Hall to Yongzhou, there are 20,000 miles, if ordinary people come to walk, it is estimated that it will take nearly a year to stop and go for such a long distance. Fortunately, the four of them have the cultivation of the Qi refining period, and the speed of the journey is several times faster than that of ordinary people, and they can walk at least three or four hundred miles a day, if there is no delay on the road, the distance of twenty thousand miles is enough for two months.
Because there is something in his heart, Tao Zhengyou is worried about his father, and Qingyang and Lu Dingshan are looking forward to returning to Liangzhou after the matter is done, so everyone is in a hurry.
There are very few monks walking in the secular world, and the territory of Zhongzhou, where the Qingfeng Temple is located, is relatively prosperous, and it is often possible to see some scattered cultivators who are moving alone, and when they leave the boundary of Zhongzhou, there are fewer and fewer monks outside, and sometimes they can't see a monk for three or two days.
The four of them did not encounter any interference along the way, and before they knew it, two months had passed, and they gradually entered the territory of Yongzhou.
Yongzhou is worthy of being a desolate place, not only are there few monks, but even ordinary people are few, and occasionally see a secular city, and the number of people is also pitiful, which is inferior to Liangzhou. If you compare it with some places in Zhongzhou, the capital city on this side of Yongzhou sometimes can't even compare with some towns.
As for the monks, it is even rarer, and I haven't seen one for more than ten days, until I approached Tujiao City, the only scattered cultivation city in Yongzhou, and the monks I encountered gradually increased.
It is said that a long, long time ago, there was a demon beast that was about to evolve into a dragon in the mountains near here, and later this demon beast was slaughtered by a powerful monk because of its many evils, and since then this scattered city has been named Tujiao City.
Maybe it's because this place is very suitable for the survival of demon beasts, or maybe there are too many monks in other places, and the demon beasts on the Kyushu continent have been forced here, in short, there are many demon beasts near Tujiao City. There are many demon beasts, which will naturally attract monks to come here to beg for a living, as long as they are willing to take risks, they can always gain something, so Tujiao City has gradually developed into its current scale.
Tujiao City is similar to the situation of Jade Spirit City in Liangzhou, although the number of monks is smaller, the total number may only be half of that of Jade Spirit City, but because they often fight with demon beasts, the quality of monks here is better than that of Jade Spirit City, and Tian Shengcai, who is good friends with Qingyang, comes from here.
Walking out of nearly 20,000 miles in one breath, without repairing for two consecutive months, even the iron man couldn't stand it, and after arriving at Tujiao City, the four of them stopped here and rested for three days.
Taking advantage of their leisure time, Qingyang, Lu Dingshan, and Chen Biwang also went to the market in Tujiaocheng, but they didn't find anything eye-catching. The fang market here can't be compared with the Qingfeng Palace, the only thing that is more abundant is the demon beast materials, and the price is very cheap, if you buy some here, you can earn a lot more spirit stones when you return to the Qingfeng Hall in the future.
It's just that Qingyang's spirit stones were all used up when he came, and other good things were reluctant to be used to exchange for demon beast materials, and it took a lot of energy to buy and sell, so Qingyang just looked at it casually, and didn't buy anything here, but Lu Dingshan and Chen Biwang each bought a lot.
Three days later, the four of them continued to set off, went all the way north from Tujiao City, and walked for another seven or eight days, and then came to Yongliang Mansion in Yongzhou. If Yongzhou is the most desolate state in the entire Kyushu continent, then Yongliangfu is the Yongzhou of the entire Yongzhou.
At this time, let alone a monk, even ordinary people are difficult to meet, and I don't know what the Tao family thought at the beginning, they would move to such a place, no wonder it only took a hundred years, and the Tao family, who had been a monk in the late stage of foundation building, fell to this point.
In a small mountain col dozens of miles away from Yongliang Mansion, the four of them finally came to the Tao family, the destination this time, which did not look like a family of immortal cultivators, but more like a native manor in the countryside. In the middle is a fenced yard of dozens of houses, and on the periphery is a patch of farmland that stretches out of the col.
