Chapter 61: Back to the Mountain
Gradually, the night became thicker, and the five of them also discussed in the main hall for half an hour, and the general jihua had already been drawn up, waiting until Guan Shuo first selected the person he was looking for, and then started the next step to deal with the Du family.
Walking out of the main hall, the Great Elder went to the Road Steward to rest, and Qin Wen followed Xiang Hao and the two back to the Drunken Immortal Tower, tomorrow he was going to follow the Great Elder back to Yinxia Mountain, and by the way, he also brought Shuang'er's mother and daughter over.
Sitting in the carriage back to the Drunken Immortal Tower, the three of them tacitly did not talk about the matter of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiang Hao and Lao Gao just chatted and asked some basic information about the Qin family, and Qin Wen answered casually.
Early the next morning, the Great Elder came from the City Lord's Mansion to the Drunken Immortal Tower to look for Qin Wen, Qin Wen hired a spacious carriage, took Shuang'er's mother and daughter, and the four of them got into the carriage and drove out of Luming City, heading towards Yinxia Mountain.
In the canopy of the carriage, the Great Elder lifted the cloth window on the canopy, looked at the desolate field outside, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, then put his hand down and asked Qin Wen, "Do you know the identities of the two masters and servants of the Xiang family who went to the City Lord's Mansion yesterday?"
Qin Wen shook his head and said: "I and they only met on the side of the mountain road near the Muzha Pass, they were chased by a team of Hu cavalry that day, I saw that they were Qi people, so I rescued them, and then I returned to the manor and saw that the clansmen had evacuated, so I lived with them in the Drunken Immortal Building." ”
Speaking of this, Qin Wen pointed at Shuang'er's mother and daughter again and said: "I also met their mother and daughter that day, Shuang'er has a talent for dispensing medicine, so I accepted her as a maid, and when Zuihou returned to the Medicine Valley for alchemy, I met with the second elder once, and I also knew that you were trapped in the military camp of Luming City at that time, and the second elder was closely watched by the people of the Du family, so let me go to Luming City to find a relationship." ”
When the Great Elder heard him say so much, he nodded and said, "I see that the master and servant of the Xiang family are not ordinary powerful children in the capital, and now the royal family of Daqi is surnamed Xiang, looking at their relationship with the city lord, they should have a connection with the royal family." If you want to make a Danshi offering, you have to be cautious in everything. ”
Qin Wen also nodded in agreement, and at this time, the Great Elder waved his hand to set up a soundproof barrier beside the two, and then asked, "What do you think of the matter we discussed yesterday to deal with the Du family?"
Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "There should be no flaws." ”
The Great Elder frowned slightly and said, "There should be no problem in getting rid of the Du family, but I also thought about it all night last night, the Spirit Refining Sect behind the Du family is not something that our Qin family can compete with, so we also have to take precautions and make plans for the worst." There is also the matter of Lao Wu's handling of the Tianmi Sect's ordnance, and I don't know if he has returned to Yinxia Mountain now. ”
Qin Wen calculated the time in his heart, he returned to Yinxia Mountain today, and it should take about four days for the Guan City Lord to fix the manpower, and then he would send a few masters of the Xuanshi realm to lurk in the Qin family's return manor, and he would have time to refine some pills in the past few days.
At this time, he remembered that he still had four refined Xuan-level top-grade pills on his body, so he took out the jade bottle and said to the Great Elder: "Elder, I still have a few Xuan-level top-grade pills here, you can take them first and wait for the breakthrough to be used." ”
The Great Elder carefully took the jade bottle, looked at the elixir with a silver-white luster inside, and said to Qin Wen with a deep sigh: "The refining of these elixirs is not easy, and the family can't take your elixir for nothing, in this way, after returning to Yinxia Mountain, whatever you need from the elixir warehouse in the clan, just go and get it, and leave thirty percent of the elixir in the clan at that time." ”
Qin Wen nodded and agreed, and the Great Elder only then put away the jade bottle and said with a little emotion: "A small family like ours can have a monk of the lower level of the Xuan Master in charge, so as to resist the encroachment of other families, although the two spirit stone veins are barren, there are still many families like the Du family who covet it." ”
Qin Wen smiled at this time and said: "Great Elder, I will go back to Yinxia Mountain this time to see how Qin Xiao is cultivating, and as soon as possible, I can let him refine the Xuan-level mid-grade pills, so that with him and Zuo Yi in the family, I can ensure sufficient pills, as for the high-grade pills that several elders need, I will refine some more during this time, and when I arrive in the capital, you can talk to the city lord about transporting the army through the supply of ordnance, and let them bring some back after a while." ”
The Great Elder looked a little excited at this time and said: "Ah Wen, with your elixir, our Qin family will never be overstretched for the elixir in the future, last time Zuo Feng refined a Xuan-level high-grade elixir, the second elder was breaking through the Xuanshi upper level at that time, so let him use it first, the third and fourth had to delay the breakthrough time, this time with your four pills, I think their realm can also be improved to another level." ”
After noon, the carriage came to the vicinity of Yinxia Mountain, the mountain road in front was a little rugged, the carriage could not go up, Qin Wen and the four people got off the car and walked, because the Bai clan was still an ordinary person, and Shuang'er's cultivation was still shallow, so they did not walk fast, until the sun set before they came to the valley where the Qin clan lived.
Along the way, Qin Wen saw that there were two Qin family disciples on guard at every dangerous place, although they couldn't deal with high-level monks, but it was still okay to send out warning signals, which should be the reason why the Du family had not dared to enter Yinxia Mountain easily.
Under the leadership of the Great Elder, as soon as the four of them walked into the valley, they saw a large number of clansmen rushing over, and the Second Elder walked in front and said, "Big brother, you are back." ”
The Great Elder smiled and nodded to the clansmen at this time, and then said to the Second Elder, "Ah Wen and I went to the City Lord's Mansion last night and came back early this morning, there is nothing going on in the clan, right?"
The second elder said with a hint of sorrow between his eyebrows: "There is nothing in the clan, that is, the fifth child also came back a few days ago, and the matter of ordnance should be over, and the fifth elder also took a branch of the Tianmi Sect, but when he came back, he met someone from the Du family and was seriously injured. ”
Qin Wen was following behind the Great Elder at this time, and Qin Lu's excited voice suddenly came from the side, "Young Master, are you back?"
Qin Wen saw Qin Lu's white hair, the wrinkles on his face were a little deeper, his eyes were a little red, and his heart trembled, but he also controlled his emotions, and said with a smile on his face: "I'm back, where do you live now, let's go back and talk." ”
As he spoke, Qin Wen let go of Shuang'er's mother and daughter, who had been following him, and said, "This is the mother and daughter I took in in Luming City, Shuang'er followed me to practice alchemy, and this Bai clan will take care of some housework in the future." ”
Then he introduced Qin Lu to Shuang'er's mother and daughter, and as soon as Bai and Shuang'er met Qin Lu, they heard the great elder in front of him say, "Ah Wen, you come with me first." ”
Qin Wen asked Qin Lu to take Shuang'er's mother and daughter back first, and then hurriedly followed the Great Elder into a big tent in the middle of the valley, and as soon as he entered the tent, he saw the Fifth Elder lying on the bed with his face like gold paper, Qin Wen couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the Fifth Elder?"
The third elder next to him said: "I was injured by the people of the Du family, the second elder and the fourth elder wanted to go to Luming City to buy the elixir two days ago, but they were also discovered by the people of the Du family, and they had to fold back again, Ah Wen, I heard Xiaoxi say that day, you can now refine the Xuan-level high-grade elixir, and you have to refine the elixir as soon as possible for the injury of the fifth elder." ”
Qin Wen checked the injuries of the Fifth Elder at this time, and said to the Great Elder: "It's just that the internal organs have been hit hard by the vitality, so it doesn't hurt to take a high-grade pill." ”
The Great Elder hurriedly took out the jade bottle that Qin Wen had given him today from his storage bag, then poured out an elixir and put it into the mouth of the Fifth Elder, and asked Qin Wen with some concern, "How long will it take for this Fifth Elder's injury to heal?"
Qin Wen knew that he had some worries about not being able to go to Lonely City Mountain with the city lord, so he thought for a while and said, "It's more than a month, it shouldn't delay the time to go to Lonely City Mountain." ”
"Delay?" the second elder asked with some surprise at this time, "What are you doing in Gucheng Mountain?"
At this time, the Great Elder asked the other Qin clan members in the tent to retreat, leaving only the remaining four elders and Qin Wen, and then put up a soundproof barrier, and told the city lord about summoning the Qin family elders to go to Gucheng Mountain, and then talked about dealing with the Du family.
The second elder nodded and said: "Our Qin family has been following the city lord in Luming City, this time we must go, if we follow the city lord's method, as long as we kill the Du family's worship in our Qin family's manor, when the time comes, even if we lead the four of us to the Du family, we can destroy the Du family." ”
The Great Elder also spoke at this time: "I think so too, the most powerful person in the Du family is only a Xuanshi Ascending Dan Master, and he is not the opponent of our Qin family at all. ”
Next, except for the five elders lying on the sickbed, the other five people discussed some details, and had dinner in the middle, Qin Wen walked out of the tent, and then happened to come across a stream to draw water by the mountain stream, so he followed him to a Dan room opened up in Yinxia Mountain.
Zuo Yi was even more emotional when he saw him, saying that if there was no Qin Wen that day, his life should have been lost in the bluestone beach, Qin Wen saw Qin Xiao refining pills by the earth fire at this time, so he asked Zuo Yi: "What kind of pill is Ah Xiao refining now?"
Zuo Yi also exclaimed: "Although Ah Xiao has only been in contact with the pill for a few months, he can now refine the pill of the lower grade of the Xuan level, I think his control of the Yuan Huo is still relatively accurate now, and he can at least cultivate into a Dan Master of the Xuan Master realm in the future." ”
Qin Wen smiled and looked at Qin Xiao who was concentrating on alchemy, Qin Xiao had a Dan root in his body, and he also practiced the Yanmu Jue Gong method that focused on the control of Yuan Huo, and now it was normal to be able to refine Xuan-level low-grade pills, and during the period before going to the capital, Qin Wen was ready to teach him more experience in alchemy, so that he could refine Xuan-level middle-grade pills as much as possible.
