Early the next morning, the bell rang on the mountain, and the day of paying the New Year's coin arrived, and many villagers in Humiao Village rushed to the entrance of the village to gather.

Xu Jin, the village head, stood at the entrance of Humiao Village and began to gather the people who had already been scheduled to escort the New Year's coins.

As the new male of Luo'er's family, Liu Qingyi was naturally called into the team by the village chief Xu Jin.

He stood in the line with the fish basket containing dozens of red-billed fish, stretched out his head and looked around, and looked back to see Luo'er wearing a blue and white dress, standing gracefully on the battlement at the entrance of the village, and sweeping straight towards him with a pair of wonderful eyes.

His old face turned red, his neck shrank slightly, and he said in his heart: "I won't help catch a few fish, this woman will have to confess herself..."

At this moment, the entrance of the village is already crowded, and the villagers who pay the annual coins and tributes are some of the villagers who push the wooden carts and pile up large bags of things on them, and some who drive animals to pull the carts. The village chief Xu Jin ordered the escort personnel, explained a few words to the rest of the people, and then rode the wind bone beast alone to lead the team to the forefront.

The rest of the escorts were more or less carrying knives, guns, sticks and other weapons in their hands, only Liu Qingyi was carrying a fish basket, followed closely behind Xu Tianbao who was holding a big iron rod, and walked towards the outside of the village with the team.

A team of more than 30 people marched unhurriedly in the direction of Yinyuan City, and on the way, they also encountered two groups of teams from other villages escorting New Year's coins, and the three groups of people gathered together, and the team became more and more huge.

These two teams are the New Year's coin escort teams from nearby Jinshi Village and Kaishan Village, of which Jinshi Village is bordering Humiao Village, which was originally a neighbor with a back. Xu Jin talked and laughed with Jinshi and the two big men in Kaishan Village, and they were safe and sound all the way.

After a journey, everyone came to a green and red wasteland, which was full of green and red vegetation, which looked very special.

According to Xu Tianbao, this wasteland is called Qinghongyuan, and there is often a gang of red scarf thieves on the plain. Generally, the villagers from all villages who enter the city will wait for the teams from other villages to go together when they arrive here, and leave some yuan coins, goods and other property when passing through the wasteland, and those red scarf thieves will not take the initiative to find trouble, which has almost become an unspoken rule of passing through this place.

These three villages gather a mighty team, but there is no need to be afraid of the red scarf thieves here.

Xu Jin, the village head, muttered to the leaders of the other two villages, still wrapped a large bag of yuan coins and a lot of fishing goods in red paper according to the rules, and placed them on a conspicuous stone mountain at the original entrance of Qinghongyuan.

Passing through the Qinghong Plain, listening to Xu Tianbao, it is to the range of Mangdang Mountain.

Looking at a continuous mountain in front of him, Liu Qingyi muttered in his heart: "This is where Brother Luo'er suffered?" ”

Xu Tianbao kept talking in his ear, because the beasts and even spirit beasts on this mountain would come down the mountain from time to time to attack the villagers, and there were fewer and fewer villages under the mountain, and many people in the villages had moved away. There was no human population nearby, and these beasts that came down the mountain began to infest the area around Yinyuan City, which is also the reason for the promulgation of the Beast Elimination Desert in recent years.

By recruiting strong men from various villages under his jurisdiction from time to time, he surrounded and suppressed the beasts that went down the mountain in the direction of Yinyuan City, and finally wiped out most of the beasts that came down the mountain, and some of the remaining spirit beasts were also driven back to the Mandang Mountain.

Liu Qingyi asked about the difference between these beasts and spirit beasts, and Xu Tianbao patiently explained.

It turns out that the beasts in this world are divided into several class categories, such as the copper-skinned wild cattle and thousand-horned mules raised by the villagers, which belong to the domesticated beasts of several generations, also known as beasts. The beasts on the vast mountains are undomesticated beasts, and their ferocity is stronger than that of beasts, and ordinary mortals can easily hunt these beasts with the help of tools and weapons.

There is also a kind of spirit beast above the beast, but it is often infinitely powerful and destructive, and even some have some innate attack methods, it is difficult for ordinary mortals to deal with them, and they often need to hold together and use special beast removal weapons to kill one or two.

Hearing this, Liu Qingyi couldn't help but point to the wind and bone beast under the crotch of the village chief Xu Jin, looked at Xu Tianbao and said, "Is this a spirit beast?" ”

Xu Tianbao smiled and explained to him that this wind bone beast was just a high-level beast with a trace of spirit beast blood, thicker than ordinary beasts with rough skin, faster speed, and greater strength, but it was still far from a real spirit beast. Of course, this Wind Bone Beast with the blood of a spirit beast is also very rare, and not everyone can afford it.

As for the demon beast above the spirit beast, it is the big demon in the mouth of the villagers, not only has considerable intelligence, but also can use the aura to exert some strange natural skills, ordinary mortals encounter such a demon beast, basically there is only one way to escape, those mortals who want to capture the demon beast, most of them leave a bloody lesson.

It is said that many immortal sects take pride in capturing and domesticating demon beasts, after all, once the innate skills of these demon beasts can be used by them, they are also a great help for monks. As for what higher-level existences are above the demon beasts, Xu Tianbao knows very little.

After these words, Liu Qingyi gained a lot of knowledge, and felt more and more that this world was full of incredible.

While the two were talking, the team walked along the Mangdang Mountain around the foot of the mountain for about two hours, and gradually left the range of the Mangdang Mountain through a tree-lined path sandwiched between the mountain streams.

Xu Tianbao pulled Liu Qingyi's clothes, pointed to the front and said, "That's Yinyuan City." ”

Liu Qingyi looked at it, only to see the shadow of a city faintly visible in the distance, the terrain tends to be flat, and the surrounding forests are gradually thinning, which is very different from the scenery under the vast mountain.

Thinking that this was the first human city he encountered in this world, Liu Qingyi couldn't help but feel a little yearning in his heart.

Seeing that the arrival of Yinyuan City was imminent, everyone's mood relaxed at this moment, and the words gradually increased, and from time to time someone loudly talked about various things in Yinyuan City.

Liu Qingyi paid attention, only to hear one of the old men say, "Have you heard of it?" The ancestor of the Chen family in Yinyuan City has returned, and it is said that it is to help a younger generation of his clan to enlighten the spirit. Speaking of which, the Chen family is one of the best clans in our Yinyuan City, and I heard that although the ancestor of the Chen family joined the Immortal Dao Sect, he was injured decades ago, and since then he has stopped at the level of cultivating immortals. This time, the ancestor of the Chen family came back to help the younger generation of the clan Qiling, I am afraid that after his death, there will be no monks in the clan to support him. ”

A rough man next to the old man responded: "If you want to talk about our Yinyuan City monk family, the Chen family is nothing, the Qi family has been a family and two monks in the past hundred years, which can be said to crush other families." ”

A young man next to him said: "Tie Gengtou, you don't know this, do you think that immortal cultivators still rely on more people to win like us mortals fight?" Yinyuan City Qi, Bai, Wang, Chen four major immortal cultivation families, if you talk about the realm of the people of the immortal gate, it should be the strongest in the Bai family, the ancestor of the Bai family Bai Shengyuan is said to have reached the Tongyuan realm, don't look at the two monks in the Qi family, but in front of the ancestor of the Bai family, who is a higher realm, there is nothing to do. ”

At this time, a rough voice sounded: "If you want me to say, the monks of the four major families have the most potential is the Wang family, and the Hundred Flowers Immortal Valley, where the female cultivator Wang Lotus is located in their clan, is one of the few three major upper immortal sects in our southern realm. The disciples of the Shangxian Sect have unlimited potential, and Bai Shengyuan is just a loose cultivation sect, which is nothing. It was a big man who spoke, and Liu Qingyi remembered that this person had spoken to Xu Jin, and he was one of the leaders of the other villages, so he believed his words for seven points.

Sure enough, as soon as the big man spoke, everyone else around him shut up, which showed that the big man made the surrounding villagers more convinced.
