After the two finished eating, Zhang Mo said that he would go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to see if there was a suitable task, Ji Xiaoyu nodded and said to go and have a look.

The Foreign Affairs Hall is located on the Xianxia Peak of Liuyun Mountain, and it is the place where Liuyun Mountain specializes in handling external affairs.

As one of the main peaks of Liuyun Mountain, Xianxia Peak has a unique charm. On the top of the peak, the Foreign Affairs Hall stands and is magnificent. Its architectural style is elegant and simple, blending in with the surrounding natural environment, like a fairyland.

The two walked into the Foreign Affairs Hall, which was bustling with fellow brothers and sisters, exchanging their latest tasks and experiences.

The eyes of the two were attracted by the huge task board, which was densely pasted with posters of various tasks.

Each notice is accompanied by a detailed description of the mission, the level of danger, and the reward.

Zhang Mo's eyes were quickly attracted by a recent mission: five days later, he went to Dahuaishu Village, Yunyang County, Donghai County, to eliminate a "poisonous fanged lizard" demon beast.

The task reward is 200 taels of silver, and there are 3-5 people who need yellow-level combat power, he looked at the side of the task board, no one has signed up yet, although the reward is not very rich, but this is a good opportunity to practice actual combat.

He immediately decided to sign up, turned to Ji Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, I'll sign up for this task." ”

"I'll go too."

"No, you still practice in the mountains."

Ji Xiaoyu was a little puzzled and disappointed: "Why? I'm also a yellow-tier combat power, so I can help. ”

Zhang Mo looked at her with a serious gaze: "I know you can, but this mission is dangerous, and I will be distracted if you are here." Moreover, you have just broken through, and you need time to stabilize your cultivation. ”

Ji Xiaoyu nodded in disappointment and sighed, "Okay." ”

After registering, Zhang Mo sent Ji Xiaoyu back to his residence, and he went to the library by himself.

In the library pavilion, he really found the "Shangqing Sutra", before he thought, there is "Jade Halal Sutra", then there may be "Shangqing Sutra" and "Taiqing Sutra", but, after looking for a long time, he found the grid where the "Taiqing Sutra" was placed, but there was only one book title on the grid, and the grid was empty.

With anticipation, he looked at the "Shangqing Sutra", this scripture has only nine volumes, compared to the twenty-six volumes of the "Jade Halal Sutra", it is really much less, basically it does not talk about cultivation, it is all about how all things in the universe are generated, how the five elements of yin and yang nurture all things, for some reason, Zhang Mo is very fascinated by this kind of instead:

"The first volume of the Shangqing Sutra, heaven and earth are chaotic, the vitality is not divided, and all things are transformed into endless life. The Tao is the root of the universe, the foundation of heaven and earth, and the mother of all things.

Plants and trees, spring and summer growth, autumn harvest and winter storage, this is also its nature. Yang is pneumatic and springy, yin is strong and autumn is cool. The clouds and rain are shining, and all things grow, all of which are endowed with qi and start again.

The four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, are born from the combination of the yin and yang of heaven and earth. Yang Qi rises, Yin Qi falls, so there are four changes in time. The spring breeze is mild, the summer is scorching, the autumn wind is bleak, and the winter is snowy. This natural order of heaven and earth, all things have to follow.

Heaven and earth are born of the Tao. Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Between heaven and earth, all things grow, yin and yang merge, and life is endless. The great virtue of heaven and earth is born, and the great treasure of the saint is said. The Taoist, the essence of heaven and earth, and the foundation of all things.

Cultivators should observe the way of heaven and earth and conform to the nature of nature in order to live forever. ”

Zhang Mo didn't look at it, he couldn't release the scroll when he saw it, and in the library pavilion, Zhang Mo stayed for four days.

As soon as the five-day period arrived, Zhang Mo arrived at the designated meeting place, Liuyun Square, but unexpectedly found that there was only one woman waiting here - one of the top ten beauties, Liu Wanting!

Zhang Mo asked in surprise: "Liu Wanting, you actually signed up for this task?" ”

Liu Wanting chuckled and replied, "That's right, why can't I apply for this task?" I was also interested in this mission. ”

The encounter between the two made Zhang Mo a little embarrassed, he thought that there would be a male martial artist or a Taoist sect, but he never imagined that it was Liu Wanting.

"Senior Sister Liu, it's still early, you wait a minute."

With that, he flew away.

He quickly made a decision to go to Feilai Peak, go to Ji Xiaoyu, and go on a mission together with a lonely man and a widow, this kind of thing is the most troublesome.

After arriving at Feilai Peak, Zhang Mo found Ji Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, come with me."

Ji Xiaoyu was surprised: "Didn't you let me go?" Why did you change your mind again? ”

"Let's go, you'll know when you get to the rendezvous point", he pulled her and took off.

After seeing Liu Wanting waiting, she was surprised: "Liu Wanting? Why are you here? You also signed up for this mission? ”

Liu Wanting said generously: "Yes, I also want to try." ”

When Ji Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Mo, his heart warmed, and he was satisfied with Zhang Mo's move to avoid suspicion.

Zhang Mo smiled and watched the two beauties talking, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. With Ji Xiaoyu here, he doesn't have to worry about unnecessary misunderstandings, he is a poor boy and can't stand the toss.

The three of them flew to Dahuaishu Village, Yunyang County, and for two days on the road, Zhang Mo was like an old monk in a fixed place, almost without saying a word, all listening to the two beauties chatting non-stop.

"It turns out that these big beauties are actually the same as ordinary people", Zhang Mo muttered in his heart.

.........

Yunyang County, on the edge of Donghai County, is a remote but quiet county town surrounded by rolling mountains, but recently this peaceful little county has been shrouded in an ominous shadow.

The villagers of Dahuaishu Village were attacked by monsters, and the continuous disappearance of people caused the entire small county town to fall into panic.

The county magistrate, Lu Zhongming, a middle-aged scribe with a haggard face and a furrowed brow, was clearly anxious about the recent events.

After the monster beast attacked the villagers, he immediately organized a team, including the county's catcher and some people in the martial arts, hoping to hunt and kill the demon beast, however, it backfired, not only failed to catch the demon beast, but killed five people, which made Lu Zhongming feel powerless and blamed himself.

Realizing that these demon beasts were not trivial, Lu Zhongming decided to report to the county and ask for help from cultivators.

After waiting for seven days, he finally received a reply from the county, saying that the cultivators of Liuyun Gate and Qixing Cave would come to hunt and kill demon beasts, so that he could be entertained.

After learning that the cultivators would come, Lu Zhongming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

........

The atmosphere in Yunyang County is depressing, there are few pedestrians on the streets, and occasionally a few villagers rush by, also looking nervous and talking in low voices. This terrifying atmosphere is so disturbing that even the air is filled with uneasy emotions.

When Zhang Mo, Ji Xiaoyu and Liu Wanting arrived in Yunyang County, the county commander Lu Zhongming came to greet them in person.

Lu Zhongming was wearing a cyan official robe, with a jade belt around his waist, his face was serious but polite, and his eyes were full of awe for the cultivators.

In the county office, Zhang Mo and the three of them also found two other cultivators, and Lu Zhongming introduced them to everyone, those two were senior brothers and sisters from the Seven Star Cave, named Lin Qingfeng and Yun Fei respectively.

The four major cultivation holy places of Dongshengguo, Liuyun Gate, Luoxia Mountain, Donglin School and Qixing Cave, and Liuyun Mountain, should actually be called Liuyun Gate, but everyone is used to calling it the famous mountains and rivers where the sect is located, so it is called Liuyun Mountain for a long time.

Lin Qingfeng was dressed in a turquoise robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, giving people a feeling of sharp edge; And Yun Fei was dressed in an elegant pink dress, flowing like a cloud, showing femininity, but the eyes of the two revealed a haughty posture.

When Lin Qingfeng's eyes fell on Liu Wanting and Ji Xiaoyu, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and immediately felt amazing.

Although Yun Fei is a female disciple of the Seven Star Cave and boasts of an extraordinary identity, she is still surprised in the face of these two famous ten beauties. Especially Ji Xiaoyu's temperament, which is both cold and noble, makes Yun Fei feel a little jealous.

"Heroes, our big locust tree village has been plagued by demon beasts recently, many villagers have mysteriously disappeared, and several fast catchers and martial arts people have unfortunately died while chasing demon beasts, we ordinary people are really powerless to resist, please lend a hand."

The county commander Lu Zhongming sent a capable catcher to guide them, and the group set foot on the road to Dahuaishu Village. The trail is winding and densely planted, and the sun shines through the treetops and dappled on the ground, but the beauty of the landscape can't hide everyone's worries.
