In the following conversation, Liu Xunxiang learned that because of the particularity of the Qin State, many poor families within the territory of the Qin Dynasty have moved to places close to the marginal mountains to seek a way to survive.

Because near the mountain range, you can go to the mountains to hunt wild beasts with your own ability, and the hunted beasts only need to hand over a part of them to the government and the local town guard sect on a monthly basis, and the rest can be obtained by yourself, and those who can't eat can also be exchanged for other people, or sold to others, in short, as long as you have good skills, you can live well near this mountain range.

Therefore, many people choose to settle near the mountain range, which is why this village is near the Wangpan Mountain Range.

"But I don't see that there are no monks in the village, so if you take root near this mountain range, what if the beast tide comes?" asked Liu Xunxiang with some puzzlement.

When the village chief heard this, a trace of bitterness flashed on his face, and he paused and said, "Don't talk about the beast tide, if a strange beast accidentally breaks out, it will be a devastating blow to the village." ”

"Then why didn't the government and the sect send monks to be stationed here?"

"The government and the sect, hehe, after a wave of death, a new wave will come, so they are not worried about this, after all, we are just mortals. The village chief said with sadness in his eyes.

Liu Xunxiang didn't speak again, because he had already understood that the place where the sect and the imperial court were stationed was the real frontier of the Qin State, and these mortals were equivalent to the hounds that were released to find food for them.

"Then in that case, why is there still a place for a village like yours to enter the sect? If it is simply to appease you, it is obvious that this appeasement is not as good as giving a few sharp sabers. This is what makes Liu Xunxiang the most confused.

The old man didn't speak, just quietly stared at this Liu Xunxiang, which made Liu Xunxiang a little inexplicable, suddenly, Liu Xunxiang's mind flashed, and he said with some uncertainty: "These places themselves are for outsiders like me?"

The old man nodded, Liu Xunxiang smiled a little self-deprecatingly, he didn't have to waste a penny, just with a quota, he could find a monk for these villagers who could be stationed in this mountain village for them, firstly, to save the resources of his own dynasty, and secondly, to delay the mortality rate of these hunting dogs outside the mountains, this Qin State was really ruthlessly calculated.

This kind of self-confidence, among the four supreme countries, only the Qin State, which is famous for its sword cultivation, has it, and it seems that this old man obviously regards himself as a sword cultivator who came to practice.

Liu Xunxiang immediately stood up and said: "If that's the case, it's not a deal, I live here, if a strange beast attacks, I will take action, but if I am not defeated, I don't want this place." ”

With that, he turned and walked out the door.

"If Your Excellency keeps our village safe for three years and promises the old man one thing, the old man is willing to help you reach the peak of the Qi Induction Realm. ”

Liu Xunxiang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the old man and said, "What's the matter?"

The old man slowly stood up on crutches and said, "Once and for all." ”

With a chuckle, Liu Xunxiang turned his head and walked out of the door, the old man looked at Liu Xunxiang's departing back, and his eyes showed a deep sense of disappointment.

At this moment, a voice sounded in the old man's ears, and the old man's eyes immediately burst into essence, and the smile on his face made the folds deeper.

"I will ensure that there will not be a single strange beast in your village for three years, and as for your plans, when you need me, you need to notify me seven days in advance. ”

Liu Xunxiang, who was passing by Wu Zhuangshi's house next door, subconsciously glanced at it, saw the lock on the door, and thought that Wu Wanniang should go out to help her father and mother do farm work.

After returning home, Liu Xunxiang closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed to run the aura in his body, it was time to use this gray crow, Liu Xunxiang thought in his heart, and began to silently call the gray crow in the sea of knowledge.

At the edge of the Wangpan Mountain Range, there is a green to black forest, the bitter trees everywhere are dense and densely connected, from a distance, it looks like a large mass of thick green clouds and smoke condensed at the foot of the mountain, which will not be extinguished, it is dark and silent here, so it also makes this place mysterious and unpredictable, this is a forbidden place on the edge of Wangpan Mountain.

However, since the recent past, a few strange cries have been heard from time to time in this silent wood, which has added a terrifying color to the already terrible woods, and thus made the nearby beasts even more afraid of the place.

"Quack, I said Xiao Zhu, you are too unparticular about what you eat, look at it, the silk that squirted out of your own ass, and you eat it yourself, how much should this be. ”

Whew...

Three sounds in a row, I saw three turquoise venom like sharp arrows chasing a gray shadow past, but this gray shadow was extremely fast, and it was very easy to avoid the three venoms, watching the venom splash on the ground instantly burst out of white smoke, the gray shadow shook his head: "Xiao Zhu, you have been spraying me for several days, can you see that there is a little bit of spraying me, save it, you don't have much inventory." ”

This gray shadow is the gray crow that has not been home for a few days.

Underneath the crow is a huge colored spider, with one eye the size of two adults, and the fluff on its legs is like a sharp arrow.

But now this spider is fiercely looking at the gray crow on the branch is a little helpless, since a few days ago the gray crow came, he did not catch it, it is here not to go, not only does not go by itself, but also does not let itself prey, but also a vigorous chirping around itself non-stop, the most annoying thing is that this gray crow is extremely fast, how can he not catch up with it.

The colored spiders are now about to be dispersed by the gray crow's sea of knowledge, how can they meet such a bird that is extremely fast and has a cheap mouth, and now it can't be hit, please don't leave, which makes the colored spider now regret the idea that he shouldn't have hit this flat-haired beast.

Just as the gray crow was about to continue, a cold voice came from the sea of knowledge: "Sword, I don't care what method you use, three years or so on, make sure that you don't let the surrounding beasts attack my village." ”

After listening to the gray crow, his eyes grunted twice, and then he stared at the colored spider in front of him with bad intentions, and the colored spider saw the eyes of the gray crow, and suddenly felt a little chill all over his body, and his huge body began to slowly retreat involuntarily...

Liu Xunxiang, who had finished the transmission, believed that with the ability of the gray crow, it would not be much of a problem to stop the surrounding alien beasts, after all, the powerful alien beasts would not dare to be presumptuous on the edge of this mountain range, so there was still a pestle in the Great Sword Sect in the Wanxiong Pass.

Now that these things have been solved, then in the next three years, you must improve your cultivation as soon as possible, and strive to reach the peak of qi induction before entering the sect, as long as you step into the condensation realm, you can go home.

This night, Liu Xunxiang dreamed of her father and mother at home, dreamed of Su Zhiling, and dreamed of Xiao Mowan, as well as the moon star hanging in the night sky, this moon star should be the moon star seen on the small mound in her town, otherwise how could it be so bright, I don't know how Su Zhiling's little girl is doing well in the National Education Institute now, and when she goes home, she must go to the imperial capital to see her in the State Education Academy, and the girl Xiao Mowan who told her that she is very good-looking, this jade bracelet has not been returned to her.

In the next few days, Liu Xunxiang rarely went out, only occasionally there would be a child knocking on the door of Wu Zhuangshi's house next door to send some wine and meat, although Liu Xunxiang can also do not eat grains, but he still likes to satisfy his appetite, similarly, for this Wu Zhuangshi family Liu Xunxiang has no bad treatment, and occasionally will go to the depths of the mountain to pick some herbs and come back to them.

After coming and going, most of the people in the village also knew that the new Mr. Liu was a doctor with superb medical skills, so from the very beginning of Wu Zhuangshi's family to ask for some herbs, to the later directly brought wine and meat to visit in person, this endless stream of entertainment made Liu Xunxiang really unbearable.

Later, there was no way, Liu Xunxiang had to say that Wu Wanniang would take care of the herbs in the future, so that although everyone had some complaints, they all understood that who let the Wu family give birth to such a lovely child, and if you want to complain, you can only complain about your own family's incompetence, but Manggu is unwilling to know this.

It is said that at that time, he also borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, and after getting drunk, he wanted to go to Liu Xunxiang to have a contest between men, but his father knew about it and took the flat shoulder to drive him back, and after that, he didn't see anyone for a long time.

Liu Xunxiang didn't know about it, but after handing over the matter to Wu Wanniang, he was often not at home, and the village chief did not break his promise, and soon after that, he called Liu Xunxiang to go over and talk secretly, after this secret conversation, Liu Xunxiang never came back, only every time the gray crow sent back with a large pile of herbs, so that everyone was relieved that Mr. Liu did not leave.

Autumn to winter, a flash of Liu Xunxiang has been here for half a year, in this half a year, Liu Xunxiang often practiced at the edge of the Wangpan Mountain Range, looking for various strange beasts to hone their control of the aura, in this process, Liu Xunxiang also slowly mastered the use of gray qi in the body, with the village chief's private collection of spirit stones, and finally in the life and death battle of a young Jin commander-level beast, he broke through the seventh layer of qi and reached the eighth layer of the qi induction realm, this kind of cultivation, even if it is placed in Qinghe City, is also the position of an elder in a big family.

That night, a group of night owls flew over the village with a scream, and the village chief and the men in the village immediately ran to the square outside the village with lights, because these phenomena can only explain one problem, that is, the attack of strange beasts.

Wu Zhuangshi also hurriedly told her mother-in-law to close the door and not let the dolls run out, then don't pick up a sickle, take a bow and arrows and a spear made by herself and go out, Wu Wanniang's eyes were a little anxious, but she found that she didn't know how to contact Liu Xunxiang at all, so she had to go back and forth at home in a hurry.

After a while, the villagers stood in an orderly row not far from the entrance of the village, and there were many wooden fences and oil drums in front of them.

The village chief's cloudy eyes looked at the darkness in front of him, and he was worried in his heart: "Mr. Liu, don't let the old man down."
