Qingrui City is a city under the jurisdiction of the second-rate sect Xingyuan Sect, in order to facilitate management, Xingyuan Sect has arranged two elders of the outer sect of the Xuanwu Realm here, in addition to collecting some materials for cultivation and selecting disciples for the sect every year, they are also responsible for the maintenance and display of the Qingrui City Protective Array.

In addition to these, the two nominal worshippers never bothered about the affairs of the city, and they were basically handled by the city lord of Qingrui City.

Unless there are some powerful cultivators who want to enter Qingrui City, or someone who wants to find trouble in Qingrui City, those two worshippers will come forward to solve it.

In fact, the original city lord of Qingrui City was not Mo Qianshan, but a lone old monk who had a little relationship with an elder of Xingyuan Sect, relying on this little incense, that old monk had been the city lord of Qingrui City for nearly a hundred years.

It wasn't until five years ago that the old monk wanted to find a place to close the door because he knew that the deadline was approaching, so he vacated the position of the city lord, which gave Mo Qianshan the opportunity to become the city lord of Qingrui City.

Although Xingyuan Sect will not pay too much attention to the ordinary human cities under its jurisdiction, they still attach some importance to the candidates for the position of city lord, and they also sent people to check the bottom of Mo Qianshan, and in the end they did not find any problems, it looks like an ordinary casual cultivator, so they can rest assured that Mo Qianshan will be the lord of a city in Qingrui City.

In the backyard of the city lord's mansion in Qingrui City, there is a small pool, which is planted with some white lotuses that are not easy to see in the north, and next to this pool, there is a pavilion called "Lotus Viewing Pavilion".

Mo Qianshan stood in the pavilion, with his hands behind his back, looking at the lotus pond in front of him, because it was still early spring, there were no lotus leaves and lotus flowers on the pond, which seemed a little sluggish.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Mo Qianshan, Mo Qianshan turned around, respectfully saluted the visitor, and said: "Old Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know how you have been all these years?"

The old man laughed out loud and replied, "I, I'm all old bones, I must still be the same, but Xiao Mo, you, have been staying in such a small city for the past five years, you must feel very difficult, right?"

"I'm okay, fortunately, Lao Zhang has been with me all these years and has given me advice, otherwise with my temper, I have to pretend to be a layman every day and deal with some boring people, I will definitely not be able to stand it for a long time. ”

The old man stepped forward, patted Mo Qianshan on the shoulder, and suddenly said earnestly: "Don't worry, it's better to be patient now, or it won't be long before everything you do will make you get what you deserve." ”

"Well, I'm sure I understand. Speaking of this, Mo Qianshan paused slightly, and then asked: "By the way, Elder Qi, according to the news you passed to me before, shouldn't you have arrived ten days ago?

This old man, who was called Qi Lao by Mo Qianshan, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said: "I really let you say it, it's indeed trouble, but it's a good trouble, do you know Tianze fish?"

"Isn't it ......"

"Hehe, you guessed it right. ”

Hearing this, Mo Qianshan couldn't help but sigh in admiration, and said: "You must know that although the opportunity of 'Tianze out of the water' is not big, it is the most important personal fortune, it seems that Qi Lao, your luck this year is good!"

Qi Lao nodded, and said in his mouth: "After all, it is a heavenly dao opportunity that will not produce a vision, so in order to get this heavenly gift, the old man has been preparing for several days, and only caught more than a dozen Tianze fish before the opportunity dissipates." ”

Qi Lao glanced at Mo Qianshan, took out a fish basket, and put it in front of Mo Qianshan before he continued: "Do you believe it, the place where the old man found Tianze Fish is actually less than ten miles away from this Qingrui City. ”

Mo Qianshan's face remained unchanged, and said: "I don't think this is anything unusual, after all, the appearance of Tianze fish does not divide places, I believe it when you say that it suddenly appeared in this small pool in front of me." ”

"You kid thought about it, but even so, I should have arrived yesterday, but I met a pair of interesting little masters and apprentices on the way, so I stayed for one more day, and finally gave the young man a Tianze fish. ”

"You really haven't changed, and you're still the same as before. ”

That's right, this old man Qi is the old man in the cloth that Liu Ping's third master and apprentice met yesterday by the pond yesterday.

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly waved his hand, and said, "Let's not talk about these things first, you also received instructions from the old man half a year ago, in the vicinity of Qingrui City, is there any news of the small owner?"

Mo Qianshan shook his head and said helplessly: "According to the information you provided me, in addition to paying close attention to all the movements around Qingrui City, I have also asked many Taoist friends who have a good relationship with me, but so far there is still no news. ”

The old man nodded, but there was not much sense of loss on his face: "It's okay, I didn't have much hope, after all, I have run hundreds of large and small cities in the past six months, but I still haven't gotten too much useful news, it's really a mess." ”

"Hey, the main thing is that there is too little information from the owner, only one name and approximate age, and finding someone is really like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

"You have to understand the difficulties of the owner. ”

Mo Qianshan nodded, sighed slightly, and continued: "I don't know what happened in the town that day? ”

The old man shook his head and said in a firm tone: "No, there is a permanent lamp of the young owner in the owner's house, as long as the lamp is not extinguished, people will be fine." ”

Mo Qianshan stretched out a hand, slapped himself twice, and said in his mouth: "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji, how can I talk nonsense, the little proprietor must be fine." ”

Seeing Mo Qianshan's antics and antics, Qi Lao couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, the little owner has his own natural appearance, and it is absolutely impossible for anything to happen, I have a hunch that maybe it won't be long before we can meet the little owner." ”

"Hmm. ”

Then, the old man disappeared in front of Mo Qianshan, as if he had never appeared, and even Qingrui City's city protection formation did not react in the slightest, so it is conceivable that this old man in a robe's cultivation is unfathomable.

————

Since bidding farewell to the old man in the cloth that day, Liu Pingsan's half-month trip for the third master and apprentice can be regarded as calm, and there have been no waves.

After all, the route chosen for this walk, but Old Man Lin specially planned it for Liu Pingsan, rarely walked in the barren mountains and mountains, and rarely walked in the places where monsters and monsters haunted, so there was basically no big risk.

On this day, the master and apprentice had just crossed a hill, and the sky quickly darkened.

The dark night may be nothing to Liu Pingsan, a cultivator, but he also has a little apprentice, Chen Chuyi, so it is definitely impractical to rush at night.

Fortunately, after they had just crossed the mountain, they saw a dilapidated mountain temple on the top of the mountain, and after thinking about it for a while, Liu Ping decided to take his apprentice to the broken mountain temple and stay overnight.
