Chapter 85 The Mountains Behind the Town
The patriarch of the Qing family is a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body, fifty or sixty years old, with a mustache, small eyes, and a lovely shape.
The patriarch of the Qing family, saw Zhou Lei, who was dressed in the outer gate costume of the Xuangui Sword Sect, Kang Tian. Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "But the Xuan Turtle Sword Sect Immortal who took over the task of killing the Spirit Devouring Rat? It is really a young and handsome man, worthy of being a child of the Xianmen, in the Xiaqing family evergreen forever, the first time the immortals arrived, there was a loss of welcome, the cold house banquet has been prepared, please come to the immortals. ”
Qingyong's face was full of smiles, full of enthusiasm, and his tone was full of humility, and his words were full of flattery.
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian's original smiles froze. A little embarrassed, his hands arched slightly stiffly and said: "Patriarch Qing said that he laughed, he can't afford to be a young man, and he can't afford the title of immortal chief." If you don't give up, the patriarch of Qing will call the two of us Zhou Lei, and Kang Tian will be fine. ”
It is true that the Xuangui Sword Sect is a well-deserved overlord within a radius of tens of millions of miles, but there are nearly 100,000 disciples from the outer sect of the entire sect this year!
This huge base, if it is an ordinary outer disciple, it is okay for others to give you face, but if you don't give it, then it is not a fart.
Before the mission, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian also collected some news slightly.
The first generation of the Qing family in Qingshan Town was an ordinary disciple of the outer gate of the Xuangui Sword Sect, and he failed to be promoted to the inner gate in the three big competitions within ten years, so he was left from the sect and assigned to the area under the jurisdiction of the Xuangui Sword Sect to manage the affairs of the mortal world.
It wasn't until his later years that he learned the news of the appearance of a Yuanquan in Qingshan Village from his peers, so he said goodbye to the old man like a sect and resigned from the position of managing mortal affairs.
With a few children and nephews who were cultivated later, he went to Qingshan Village, and after a fierce fight, he finally occupied the Yuanquan near Qingshan Village, and took root, successfully established the foundation of a small cultivation family, and began the journey of inheritance for several generations.
Within the sphere of influence of the Xuangui Sword Sect, those numerous miniature cultivation family forces that did not enter the stream were all generated from this. The same is true of the Zhou family in Zhou Town, but it has died.
During this period, the sect will not be of any help. At most, the ancestor of the Qing family relied on some connections in the sect to make the subsequent sect recognize the establishment of the Qing family's position in Yuanquan.
If the ancestor of the young family failed and died in the struggle, the sect would not have any ideas, after all, it was insignificant.
Anyway, whether it is a disciple from an outside sect or a small force from outside, after occupying Yuanquan and cultivating the spiritual field, more than half of the harvest needs to be paid tribute to the sect.
The status of the outer disciple is nothing more.
Unless it is a malicious provocation by some crazy guys, there are 100,000 outer disciples of the entire Xuangui Sword Sect this year, some of them are secretly robbed and killed on a mission, some are revenge by enemies, some are hunted and killed by demon beasts, some are trapped in dangerous ruins and caves and are killed by the formation, and there is a possibility that there will be outer disciples who die every day.
What sect leader would spend so much time paying attention to these insignificant and insignificant disciples every day, and use them as the life and death of many outer disciples who are cultivating cannon fodder?
If you don't enter the inner door, you are an insignificant ant after all.
Only those characters in the inner gate of the Xuangui Sword Sect are qualified to let outsiders call them "Immortal Chief".
After some politeness, Zhou Lei and Kang Tianzheng said: "Patriarch Qing doesn't need to be too polite, the two of us came here this time to be entrusted with solving the spirit devouring rat, and asked the patriarch to take the two of us to Lingtian to inspect it, so as to make plans as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Lei and Kang Tian know that they are here to do tasks, not to win over interpersonal relationships.
"Naturally." Speaking of the Spirit Devouring Mouse, Qing Yong's face was also solemn, and his face showed resentment.
"It's all because of that damn soul devouring rat, this season's Lingtian output has been reduced by at least thirty percent, you two must solve that damn scourge for us!"
Subsequently, at the strong request of Zhou Lei and Kang Tian, everyone did not go back to Qing's house to rest for one night, but went directly through Qingshan Town and came to the mountain behind the town.
Lingtian is not in Qingshan Town, but in a low-lying valley in the mountains behind Qingshan Town. Surrounded by hills, trees and thick fog during periods.
Soon, the group stood in front of the dense fog, and saw Qingyong take out a jade talisman and pour Yuan Force into the jade talisman towards the dense fog in front of them.
The matter of Lingtian is very important, in order to prevent thieves from stealing spiritual objects, or other insects and beasts from spoiling it, it is a tightly guarded place in any force, and more or less a formation is arranged around.
However, the dense fog blocking the woods in front of him should be the cheapest low-level phantom array in the Qing family's Congfang City, which can only confuse the line of sight, and it has not much lethality at all.
Because, Zhou Lei, Kang Tian did not sense the existence of water vapor from the dense fog.
Dealing with this kind of formation is very simple, if you close your eyes and don't look in one direction, you will naturally be able to easily get out of the range of the phantom formation.
With Qingyong's manipulation, the dense fog in the woods in front of him spread a road, and Zhou Lei and Kang Tian followed Qingyong into the formation.
Through a relatively deep passage, the sight in front of me is bright, only to see ahead, is a small basin surrounded by hills, in the center of the basin, opened up more than 20 acres of fields, the field is full of spiritual things.
More than three-quarters of them are planted with lush Linggu seedlings, the tail of the seedlings is heading and filling, and the green valley waves are swaying with the wind. The remaining quarter is full of colorful and colorful spiritual plants.
There is a small stream rising with water vapor around the surroundings, which flows slowly around the spiritual field.
"This is it!" Qingyong put Zhang Qingyuan in the spiritual field, pointed to the bald Linggu crops in the middle, and said.
"That damn Spirit Eater Rat, I found it appearing nearby half a month ago, ruining the trail of Spirit Valley...... In order to prevent that damn beast from causing more damage, we have been sending people to watch around day and night for the past few days, but to no avail! Qingyong continued.
"That beast is so cunning, very good at concealment, and so fast that there is no way to do it!"
Speaking of the soul devouring rat, Qingyong is the one who gritted his teeth.
You must know that Linggu is not a grain crop in the mortal world, they can only grow one crop a year.
Moreover, the part of the tribute to the Xuangui Sword Sect has already been determined according to the number of acres of Lingtian, and it will not be reduced at all because of the ravages of the Spirit Devouring Rat.
It is not only the Spirit Valley that the Spirit Devouring Rats are ruining, but also the hearts and minds of their Qing family!
Zhou Lei, Kang Tian pondered for a moment, carefully walked into the spiritual field that seemed to be like the depression of the Mediterranean, and pushed aside the crops around him.
On the ground, the dried Linghe that had been sawed down by the Spirit Eater was scattered, and the gnawing fragments scattered around the rhizome could still be seen on the side.
Zhou Lei picked up a small piece of fragments, observed it carefully, and said after a moment of silence: "Sure enough, it's a spirit devouring mouse." ”
"Zhou Lei, what should we do?" Kang Tian Divine Sense Transmission asked.
"We can only wait for the Spirit Eater to appear before we can kill the Spirit Eater." Zhou Lei said helplessly.
"In that case, just wait." Kang Tian said indifferently.
Immediately, Zhou Lei told Qingyong about the matter.
"The two of you are tired, you are tired." Although Qingyong was unwilling to wait any longer, but the Spirit Devouring Mouse did not appear, no one could do anything, and finally agreed with a wry smile.
"This is what we should do, please rest assured that the patriarch of the Qing family." Zhou Lei, Kang Tian said.
