Chapter 36: Soldiers of the Xuanhu Cave Clan
-- It seems that my trip to the Xuanhu Cave must have caused me to cultivate so fast that it aroused the jealousy of the patriarch and others, otherwise, with my unique talent in the clan, why did I just get out of the school and send me to such a bloody and complicated Dragon Neck Valley? Whether there is a conspiracy or not, I always feel ill-intentioned, and I must be vigilant!
Qin Shuang thought secretly, took a step, ran through the messy place of corpses, and continued to run towards the depths of the canyon, about half an hour later, a cliff rose in front of him, as if a screen was stretched out on the ground, and inside the cliff was a concave valley, and three scarlet characters were faced on the wall: Xuanhu Cave!
This valley is the place where Qin Shuang's trip was reported, and I saw that on the side of the cliff, there was a road in and out of the earth, paved with stones, forming a stone surface, in case of rain and mud, the Xuanshi could not be transported. And the stone dirt road, with a large slope, has several arrow towers and stone platforms built in the middle, forming layers of defense lines.
At the mouth of the valley, there is a team of ten-person warriors patrolling, in the arrow towers, the arrows are faintly visible, and on the stone platform, you can see the armed soldiers with red tassel spears in their hands, and they are vigilant one by one, scanning around, and the vigilance is strict.
As soon as Qin Shuang appeared at the mouth of the valley, he was stopped by the warrior team: "Stop, report your name!" The leading triple clan saw his costume, and knew that he was sent by the family, and he didn't talk politely to him, and directly asked him to report his name.
"Qin Shuang, who has just been promoted to the third tier, was sent to the Xuanhu Cave to serve the family!"
Qin Shuang replied succinctly, took out the clan soldier waist card given to him by the third elder and showed it up.
"Hey, it's strange, we're waiting to retreat at any time, why did the family still send you over? With just one of your bare poles, can you still repel the Zhang family's attack?"
A young clan soldier had obviously never heard of Qin Shuang's name, and shouted with surprise on his face.
"Shut up!" The squad leader reprimanded the clan soldier, and said to Qin Shuang with an expressionless face: "You are a new clan soldier, go into the valley, and report directly to the commander of the Xuanhu Cave Qin Hu." ”
Qin Shuang put away his clan soldiers' waist card, along the gravel dirt road with a steep slope, and walked into the valley wrapped by the cliff, turning the curved stone wall at the end of the dirt road, as wide as his eyes, a gourd-shaped valley appeared in front of him, this is a ring valley with towering cliffs on three sides, and the mouth of the valley is a tent where the cave guards live, patrolling patrols, vigilant guards, and guards are as strict as the outside.
And in the valley is a black old tent of slave miners, faintly visible miners in and out, and at the end of the valley wall, a ten-meter-wide mine hole caliber is chiseled, like a fanged tiger's mouth, it is estimated that it is the Xuanhu Mine Cave. Under the supervision of the leather whips of the clan soldiers, a team of sweaty slave miners were pushing wheelbarrows upwards to transport the excavated Xuanshi, each of which was yellow and clear in color, Qin Shuang saw it and judged that this was an earth-based energy mine.
"You're the only one Qin Shuang?"
Qin Hu, the commander of the Xuanhu Cave, inspected the Qin Shuang's waist card brought in by a soldier from outside the account, raised his eyebrows, his eyes like a tiger wolf, and stared at him fiercely: "I don't care what kind of bullshit boutique genius you are, and no matter how fast your cultivation speed is, when you get to my Xuanhu Cave, you are just a newcomer, a young soldier, start with the clan soldiers honestly, and obey my orders, otherwise, if you serve the clan rules and military rules, even if you cut off your head, no one will speak for you, do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Qin Shuang replied cleanly with a word, he was obedient and obedient, obviously aware that Qin Hu's words were aimed at him, and gave him a note of the meaning of Ma Wei, he has always respected me, I will respect you, if you don't respect me, I won't say anything to you.
"Thinking that you are the only boutique talent in the family, you can naturally get some preferential treatment. Tent No. 59, you are alone to rest, lest after **, you accuse me of abusing you, a newcomer, in front of the three elders. That Qin Hu reprimanded him with a black face, and suddenly his face turned cloudy, smiled, and gave him a recruit preferential treatment.
Could it be that this Qin Hu is not aimed at me, but is accustomed to using carrots and sticks to control people? Hmph, it's not too late for me to take a look at the No. 59 tent before drawing conclusions. Qin Shuang thought in his heart, thanked Qin Hu, and then took his leave and left the tent to lead, looking at the tent number as he walked, and found tent No. 59.
It was a new tent that seemed to have just been set up, five hundred meters away from the group of tents, and it was held alone in a corner.
As soon as Qin Shuang saw the location of the tent, he cursed in his heart, it was obviously specially for his arrival, and a tent that had been set up, if a foreign enemy touched in, it was possible to use his tent as an invasion target first; He dared to conclude that Qin Hu was not from the Patriarch's Court, or from the Second Elder or Fifth Elder Clan, and he must have received some kind of instruction from the family before he arrived, so he gave him such an obvious little shoe to wear.
Qin Shuang stared at tent No. 59 for a while, and suddenly felt that everything could not only be thought of as bad, on the other hand, that tent was used by him alone, and it was quite convenient to practice at night, or sneak out to run errands, which was much more convenient than sharing a tent with a group of clan soldiers.
When he came, he had already seen clearly, each tent was shared by seven or eight clan soldiers, the young people didn't clean it up much, the smell in the tent was gruesome, and the clothes and armor were hung indiscriminately, if he was really assigned to a certain shared tent, to be honest, it was really not as comfortable and down-to-earth as a single big tent.
This is the same treatment as Qin Hu, the commander of the cave, but the commander of the tent is more luxurious and generous than his, right?
Thinking of this, he calmed down with a little anger, pushed open the tent door and walked in, and saw a pair of futons, a wooden bed, a wooden table, two wooden benches, and a large round stone used for meditation and practice on the ground, about a meter square.
It's a bit simple, but it's still a wooden bed, bedding, tables and stools, especially the practice round stone, he sits on it, and feels that it is very suitable for daily practice in the tent.
Casually unwrapped the package and put it at the head of the bed, Qin Hu had already ordered him to participate in patrols at night, and it could be said that he was okay for the time being during the day, he lay on the wooden bed, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and ran all the way when he came, somewhat tired, unconsciously, he gradually breathed longer, fell into a shallow sleep, but a trace of consciousness was still awake, if he sensed any movement, he could wake up suddenly. This Dragon Neck Valley is no better than his frost courtyard in the Qin Mansion, and he has to guard against both internal ghosts and external enemies.
"Frost is less, I ...... Can I come in?"
Suddenly, Qin Shuang was alarmed by the sound of broken footsteps outside the tent, and as soon as he woke up, the man had already walked to the tent door, and immediately after, a nervous, cramped, and nervous young voice sounded.
"Who? come in and talk!"
Qin Shuang jumped off the bed, pulled a wooden stool and sat down, and said in a deep voice, he had no acquaintances in the Xuanhu Cave, but he wanted to see who came to see him.
As soon as the tent door was opened, a young clan soldier about fifteen years old, wearing a coarse cloth robe with a few patches, knew at a glance that he was a member of the inner sect from a poor family.
The people of the inner door are also divided into high and low. If the children of the inner sect are born in a warrior family, the family property is wealthy, and the clothes are naturally different. Those who come from ordinary families are more poor. The young clan soldier in front of him, looking at his clothes, knew that he must be from an ordinary clan, lucky, awakened to a dream, and after the family was approved, he was cultivated in the inner door. Speaking of which, Qin Shuang's background is similar to this person, but he has high-quality seeds and various benefits that are much better than this person. At least one qiē armor robe was received free of charge from the family.
This is also limited to before he is double, after advancing to the triple seed source, one qiē needs to be exchanged for merit.
