Chapter 153: Baicaoling
Qin Yuan and the others were not surprised when they heard the voice coming, they each bowed slightly, and said to the darkness: "The patriarch is polite!" ”
But he heard the voice again: "I can't do it, I can't do it." So that Lord Jun is so humble, how can he be called an old grass god? ”
Only then did Qin Yuan follow his prestige. He had long been aware that there was a person sitting on the upper floor of the main building, and he was slightly shocked when he looked at it face to face at this moment. It turned out that the person who spoke was wrapped in black gauze throughout, leaving only a little gap in the eyes. Looking at his appearance in the black veil, he was skinny, like a dried corpse that had been squeezed out of flesh and blood, which was very terrifying.
Qin Yuan pondered in his heart: "Originally, I thought that his true yuan was nothing, but now it seems that he is simply a dying person struggling to support his body. It's just that I don't know what kind of disease he suffers from, and he will become like this. ”
He looked at Ling'er slightly, and asked Luo Yun softly, "What kind of illness do you patriarch have?" ”
Where did Luo Yun know, he had only only seen the patriarch a few times, that is, the patriarch was sick, if it wasn't for Chu Lingtian to talk about it, I am afraid he would not know it for the rest of his life. What's more, he couldn't see the patriarch in front of him clearly at all, where did he know how terrifying the patriarch's dignity was at the moment.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Qin Yuan only smiled faintly and said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, fortunately, it is pitch black all around here, if it weren't for that, you would definitely be startled by the appearance of this patriarch." ”
When Ling'er heard Qin Yuan say this, she had a plan in her heart. Although she couldn't see the patriarch clearly, with her extraordinary Taoism, she could naturally detect his breath. I saw that the man's breath seemed to be nothing, and he was just a dying person, just barely breathing. Ling'er bowed to the patriarch, but asked: "I heard that the patriarch is seriously ill and can't see the light, but our cultivators are already inviolable, what kind of evil disease does the grass spirit patriarch have?" ”
When Qin Yuan heard this, he was really shocked by Ling'er's straightforward question. Cao Qian was even more surprised, and even had a sense of fear, he paused for a moment, and said timidly to Qin Yuan and Ling'er: "Since Lord Envoy already knows, why do you still want to ask Lao Sheng?" Lao Sheng's greed five years ago has long been doomed to today's life and death. If Lord Jun wants to take the life of an old student, just take it, but don't hurt my people! ”
He replied vaguely, but Qin Yuan and Ling'er were confused. Fortunately, Ling'er was clever and intelligent, and responded: "The grass pious patriarch is too worried, if we want to take your life, we won't ask you like this." ”
Cao Qian groaned: "Isn't Lord Jun a person from Yuze? ”
Qin Yuan and Ling'er were stunned for a moment, knowing that Cao Qian had already sensed some information from their words. "It turns out that this grass god has always regarded us as people from Yuze, and I want to make out his words." Ling'er smiled slyly and said to the grass: "Haha." Presumably, my Yuze's envoy is used to oppressing you on weekdays, but this time the two of us came here on the orders of the head of the halberd, and we must be courteous to the grass pious patriarch. ”
Cao Qian was puzzled, since he heard the untruths in Ling'er's words, her words alone could not convince Cao Qian. "The head of the Halberd let the two envoys come to my small clan at the foot of the mountain, what is the so-called?" Cao Qian asked slyly, not mentioning the life-threatening matter mentioned before.
Ling'er grinned, she had already guessed a bit of truth from the sentence "greedy for a while" before Cao Qian, so she said indiscriminately: "Naturally, you are here to hunt for treasures?" ”
As soon as she said this, Cao Qian was suddenly shocked, and her already weak body almost fell down. It's just that apart from Qin Yuan, no one else was aware of his move at all.
Cao Qian gasped for a moment, and then said: "The head of the halberd is really amazing, no matter how the little old man hides, he can't hide from his eyes!" ”
Qin Yuan saw the appearance of Cao Qian, and then thought of what he said before, and said with an idea: "The patriarch of Cao Qian has lost all his flesh and blood, it must be also the work of that baby!" ”
When Cao Qian heard this, he almost fainted. He thought that he was hiding in such a dim bamboo building, and it would be difficult for anyone to detect his face. "What the head of the halberd did expect was that I was a low-minded student, and I couldn't control this treasure at all. If it weren't for the lack of greed back then, this treasure would have been sent to Yuze a long time ago. ”
Qin Yuan saw that his expectations were true, and smiled at Ling'er, Ling'er understood, and slightly changed his voice to a stern voice: "Patriarch Caoqian, do you know that you have privately taken this treasure for yourself, and you have pushed your clansmen to the cusp of the storm?" ”
Cao Qian was suffocated, he was also the patriarch of the Foothill Clan, although the Foothill Clan pursued the way of the jungle, but he had a fraternity for his own people. He hurriedly leaned over and knocked on the ground and said, "I hope that Lord Jun has forgiven this Gan clan." This matter is all done by Lao Sheng, and he has nothing to do with these clansmen, so let Lord Jun take my life! ”
Ling'er said sharply again: "Only punish you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deter the rest of the small clan." If you don't kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, won't the thousands of tribes under my Yuze not all take Yuze as a thing? ”
Cao Qian kowtowed again, and begged: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, so that Lord Jun is a heavenly man, and I hope you don't have to worry about us mountain and wild horses." ”
Qin Yuan couldn't bear it when he saw his voice, so he took over and said, "This is someone from your clan?" ”
Cao Qian followed the prestige, but it was pitch black, and he couldn't see who Qin Yuan was referring to. I had no choice but to ask, "What did Lord Jun say about Luo Yun's nephew?" Although he couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, Chu Lingtian had already told him about the previous fight between Luo Yun and the disciples in the clan.
Qin Yuan nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”
Cao Qian replied: "Luo Yun's nephew is naturally a member of my clan!" I don't know if he is disrespectful, but has he ever offended the envoy? ”
Qin Yuan didn't want him either, and said, "Since he is a member of your clan, I will sell you a face." I won't think much about today's affairs. ”
Luo Yun heard what Qin Yuan said, and hurriedly said: "Patriarch, Lord Jun has accepted me as an apprentice, but this matter has not yet been revealed to the patriarch. ”
After hearing this, Cao Qian said with a slight soothing feeling: "This is your blessing. Since Lord Jun wants to take you as a disciple, where do I have any objections? It's just that when you follow Lord Envoy, you must always think of the good of the people in the foothills, and don't worry about those people anymore! Cao Qian saw that Luo Yun had become Qin Yuan's disciple, for fear that he would have a heart of revenge in the future, and he would inevitably be detrimental to the Foothill Clan. He only asked for his heart, and he was powerless to do what Luo Yun would do in the future.
Luo Yun responded: "What the patriarch told is very much, Luo Yun will definitely not disgrace the reputation of the Foothill Clan in the future." ”
Qin Yuan smiled in his heart, "This stupid disciple, how those clansmen bullied you before, you don't mention it briskly." And let me, the master, hold the grievances for you. ”
Cao Qian suddenly frowned slightly, and bowed down to Qin Yuan: "Lord Envoy, the old student still has a request, and I hope it will be fulfilled." If you don't want to make the king, Lao Sheng will not want to hand over the treasure even if it is brought to the underworld. ”
Qin Yuan was stunned, how could the originally timid and frightened grass spirit suddenly change into momentum again, and asked, "Grass Qian Patriarch, please tell me, what is the matter?" ”
Seeing Qin Yuan asking, Cao Qian sighed. He was blocked just now, and when he saw that Qin Yuan liked Luo Yun very much, he came up with a plan. But if Qin Yuan didn't eat his move, the entire Foothill Clan would be put in a desperate situation by him. Fortunately, Qin Yuan was not a person from Yuze, where could he be so violent and vicious.
Cao Qian stood up and said, "Speaking of which, it has something to do with Luo Yun's nephew. There has always been a gap between my foothill clan and Hetian Road. Over the years, we have often fought, but we have repeatedly failed, and not long ago, Baicaoling, which originally belonged to our clan, was occupied by Hetian Road. As the name suggests, Baicaoling is a place where more than 100 kinds of herbs sprout. My foothill clan has relied on these herbs for generations, but now I have to look at the face of He Tiandao to get some herbs. Luo Yun went to Hetian Road this time, but he was also forced to be helpless and secretly broke into Baicaoling. If Lord Jun can recapture Baicaoling for my foothill clan, don't talk about that treasure, even if he cuts the old student with a thousand knives, the old student will not complain at all. ”
After hearing this, Qin Yuan couldn't help but be slightly moved, he had long known that Luo Yun had gone to Hetian Dao to pick some rat fruits for his mother to treat his illness, and there was no doubt that Cao Qian would seek the well-being of his clan with his own life and death. He glanced at Ling'er and saw that she had no objection, so he responded: "This matter is easy to do, I will go to Hetian Road, presumably they will not dare to be enemies with the foothills anymore!" ”
"Good!" Cao Qian was excited, and bowed to Qin Yuan again: "If the envoy recaptures Baicaoling for my clan, I will definitely give the treasure with both hands." ”
Qin Yuan answered, and turned to leave, but when he saw that Ling'er was still standing there, he asked, "What's wrong with Ling'er?" ”
Ling'er was stunned, as if she had come to her senses, and smiled at Qin Yuan, "It's okay, I just remembered some things slightly." But it's all irrelevant. With that, she glanced at the grass in the darkness and frowned slightly.
The three of them went down the bamboo building, but saw Chu Lingtian waiting downstairs. Qin Yuan bowed his hand to him slightly: "Elder Chu! ”
Chu Lingtian hurriedly bowed and responded, "Is this going to Hetian Road?" Do you want some manpower from my foothills? ”
Qin Yuan waved his hand lightly, only looked at Luo Yun and said, "It's okay for him to go with me alone!" ”
Chu Lingtian didn't dare to have any more objections, and hurriedly led the way in front and took the three of them outside the bamboo building. It's just that he moves slowly, if it weren't for Qin Yuan and Ling'er's tenacity, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.
Out of the bamboo building, Ling'er said to Qin Yuan: "Hetian Dao, let Brother Qin deal with it alone." Ling'er still has some things waiting for you to come back here! ”
Qin Yuan nodded, he knew Ling'er's temperament very well, so he didn't ask any more. Said to Luo Yun: "Let's go to Hetian Road!" ”
