Chapter 40: Why

In the early morning of this day, in front of the first rays of the slanting sun shining into the window, He Ping had already gone to the agreed place with Hu Laoqi, who was waiting outside the city.

Hu Laoqi is still holding a few steamed buns in his hands, and the buns in Annan City have thin skin and many fillings, and Hu Laoqi's mouth is full of oil.

"Brother He, although we are cultivators, but this appetite is still needed, I heard that after the cultivator cultivates to the major, he doesn't have to eat, isn't that missing a great interesting thing in life?" Hu Laoqi said to He Ping while eating steamed buns.

Hu Laoqi was still quite dressed today, including carrying a fine iron machete on his back, obviously not taking this battle of besieging and killing evil cultivators lightly.

He Ping just smiled and didn't answer.

Hu Laoqi has been practicing in the cultivation world for many years, and he knows a lot of things, and listening to him also makes He Ping understand the cultivation world better.

Cultivators do not have to eat mortal food, they can completely rely on the aura of heaven and earth, nourish their own bodies, and fly to the heavens and the earth, so that they can be called great cultivators.

He Ping rested for a night, and his divine consciousness had almost recovered to two zhang, and he would be able to recover to three zhang in about one day, and then he could start preparing to re-enter the fire spirit bead to hone his divine sense.

Before leaving, He Ping gave Yan Xiqin the fire spirit ball jade pendant that he bought from the monk surnamed Fang yesterday, and also taught her how to use it.

Yan Xiqin was very happy to receive the jade pendant, she only regarded it as a promise given to her by He Ping, cherished it closely, and took her jade earrings to He Ping.

"He Gongzi, this is the earring that my mother left for me, put it here for you first, and wait for ...... When you marry me, you will put it on for me with your own hands. ”

He Ping remembered Yan Xiqin's delicate appearance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

It was a blessing for such a virtuous lady to be committed to him, and he wanted to remove the red hijab for her and blow out the candle, but before he could do so, he had to settle some urgent matters, such as the threat of the fire spirit bead hanging over his head.

"Brother He, what are you smiling at?" Hu Laoqi patted He Ping and carefully checked whether He Ping was enchanted, "Isn't it crazy to lose your mind?"

......

The agreed location is a clearing in the mountain forest outside the north gate, it is winter at this time, and only the trunks of the trees are left, so the wood aura is also very little, but it is the snow that is two inches thick that makes the water aura extremely abundant.

There were three people waiting there in the clearing early, two monks in the early stage of Qi refining, and one monk in the middle stage of Qi refining.

After a few more moments, the monk in the late stage of Qi refining finally appeared.

Dressed in a pure white robe, windless and automatic, with black hair hanging high, only hanging from his ears, he looks only twenty years old, his eyes are bright, and he is obviously full of energy.

He Ping didn't dare to associate this person with a late-stage Qi refining cultivator, he was so young, his cultivation had reached the late stage of Qi refining, if it weren't for the fire aura that he faintly emanated from his body, who would believe this.

"Are you all natives of Annam?" the man spoke, his voice a little cold, but not completely rejected.

"Exactly. The crowd replied.

The cultivators who took over the task basically knew the truth of the task for a long time.

Ordinary monks naturally wouldn't take on such tasks to hunt down monks indiscriminately, after all, monks fighting methods, casualties are also common, compared to fighting with monks, hunting demon beasts is much simpler.

This late-stage Qi refining monk wanted to find some people to help him find the evil cultivator, but he didn't want other monks to participate in it, so he thought of issuing a task through the monk's workshop to find some people to help him.

But he didn't know that when he was chasing and killing the evil cultivators, he had already been seen by some monks, and those with a little insight knew that it was the evil cultivators he was chasing and killing, and as soon as he sent out this task, everyone naturally understood what was going on.

Therefore, there are only a few people who have taken on this task.

In addition, there is naturally a reason why the late-stage Qi refining cultivators in Annan City did not participate in this mission, although the evil cultivators are fragrant and sweet, they also want to kill the evil cultivators in exchange for merit, if it was just an ordinary late-stage Qi refining cultivator who chased and killed this evil cultivator, they would have already torn their faces and participated in it.

But this man's identity is not simple, he is the disciple of Sanqingmen who went down the mountain to practice, not to mention the large number of Sanqingmen overhauls, just his master in the later stage of foundation building is something that everyone does not want to provoke.

If he made a feud with the disciples of Sanqingmen because of an evil cultivator, it would only be said that the gains outweighed the losses, so the monks in Annan City should only be invisible, and only let him go alone to kill the evil cultivators to obtain merit.

The man thought that he was not understood by others, but he did not know that others were just afraid of his master and did not want to compete with him.

"Brother He, do you know why only a few people come to such a simple task?" Hu Laoqi whispered to He Ping while the man asked a few others about the terrain.

"Is it because they don't know the truth?" He Ping replied, he couldn't think of any other reason, after all, these were twenty spirit stones that were picked up for nothing, and if they knew the truth, it would be a little unreasonable not to take them.

"That's just one aspect. Hu Laoqi shook his head and straightened the fine iron knife he was carrying, "Although there are not many people who know the truth, it is not only these few people, in fact, this task of besieging and killing evil cultivators is not completely safe." ”

"After all, the evil cultivator is a mid-stage Qi refining cultivator, and he must have some strength if he can escape these few times, if we surround him when the time comes, if he wants to break through, he will naturally take us under the knife. ”

He Ping was speechless for a while when he heard this, and he had a feeling of being deceived by Hu Laoqi.

Seeing He Ping like this, Hu Laoqi hurriedly said, "I didn't tell you yesterday because I was afraid that your kid would not come, how can cultivators be afraid of some dangers on the way to practice?"

Hu Laoqi said with a righteous face, as if he was such a warrior.

"Okay, okay, don't look at me like that, although I also know that we can't stop that evil cultivator. ”

"This is also the reason why I have to let you come, I have a secret method, but I can't use it alone, I need the cooperation of another Muxing monk, you and I work together, I don't think he can turn the sky. ”

He Ping was a little relieved, if he really let him face the evil cultivator alone, he was really not sure.

"The so-called wealth and danger are sought, this powerful identity is not simple, let's cooperate with him to kill the evil cultivator, the spirit stone is still second, he is happy, give us something else can also benefit a lot!"

"Besides, the map I gave you, it's not a bargain!"

Hu Laoqi's series of words are not unreasonable, and he has come here now, and there is no such thing as leaving.

What's more, these are just accidents, if the evil cultivator is beheaded head-on, it will naturally be the best.
