Li Qingshan ignored the curious gazes of those Qi Refiners, and only said, "What is the matter with you?" (The first time the text was first published, I was reading the biquge.info of the book) "Li Qingshan solved a few important things in his heart, and he was in a good mood.
The red-faced man also smiled: "I also prefer wine, and there is Baiwei Building not far ahead, but when it comes to doing the east, Taoist friends must not rob me." ”
Li Qingshan held the jade slip of the "Book of Vientiane" in his hand, and a lot of information about Baiwei Lou immediately appeared in his heart, this is a very famous restaurant in the cultivation path of Qinghe Mansion, and the chefs in it are all Qi refiners, they cook vegetables, just like Lu Ziyu cooks tea, using methods that only Qi refiners can understand, and cooking ingredients that are rare for ordinary people.
Li Qingshan smiled slightly, this thing is really easy to use, it seems that dozens of know-it-all knowledge reserves have been gathered into this thin piece of jade, for a beginner's casual cultivation like him, it is simply a sweet frost from heaven.
However, the casual cultivation of nearly 100 spirit stones to buy this thing, not to mention the rarity, is also extremely rare. And the disciples from the sect have the common sense of the master to teach the cultivation of the Tao, and it is even more impossible for such a large price to huā.
Upstairs in Baiwei, at a long table near the window, N people sat down, and the red-faced man said: "In Xia Hanxiong, these are my friends." Li Qingshan was introduced one by one, and those Qi Refiners all saluted.
Li Qingshan returned the salute and reported to his home: "In the afternoon, Giant, Han Daoyou invited me to come, so why Ji" He also pondered, calling himself Niu Er, a little too perfunctory, Suo Xìng followed Yu Zijian's words and called Niu Juxia.
"Could it be that you are the bull giant who defeated Song Ming, a disciple of the inner sect of Jidu Mountain, in that move!" Han Xiong was in awe, and couldn't help but use honorifics.
Li Qingshan didn't expect that he was already so famous, and said humbly: "It's just a fluke." The other three Qi Refiners were a little surprised, not as knowledgeable as Han Xiong, and asked, "Brother Han, what's going on? Are you talking about that Golden Rooster Langjun Song Ming?" Li Qingshan almost lost his laughter, what Golden Rooster Langjun is worse than the Xiashan Tiger.
Han Xiong explained for a few of his companions.
Li Qingshan didn't want to interject, and looked at the restaurant, which was the same as other buildings in the town, it was a pure wood structure, exuding a unique aroma of wood.
The decoration is not luxurious, but very simple, not even a single calligraphy or painting. As soon as you sit here, you feel like you're here to eat and drink, and the restaurant obviously has absolute confidence in your cooking skills.
At this time, a little two came over with a dinner plate, wearing a square hat on his head and a white scarf on his shoulders, and put down a pot of wine and a few stacks of delicate side dishes with his hands and feet, and made a full and enthusiastic voice in his mouth, introducing the origin of the names of these dishes. The language of action is very standard, but somewhat mechanical.
Li Qingshan took a closer look, only to find that this is Xiao Er, it is clearly a puppet puppet, but it is very exquisitely made, wearing Xiao Er's clothes, and the skin is painted with unknown pigments, which looks like a human skin, and it is obviously not the type used to fight.
Presumably, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit in this city, but the Qi Refiner is not willing to do the work of serving food and wine, so he ordered this kind of little second puppet from the Mo family.
At this time, Han Xiong finished talking about Li Qingshan's glorious achievements, those few qi refiners, looking at Li Qingshan's gaze, were already in awe, their strongest Han Xiong here is only the fifth layer of qi refining, tied together, and he can't win any of the inner disciples in the three mountains, he originally thought that Li Qingshan was a fledgling little qi refiner, who would have thought that he was such a powerful person.
Han Xiong stood up and poured wine for Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan sat still, picked up the wine glass, gestured slightly, drank the wine in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Han Daoyou can explain his intentions now!" Han Xiong also hurriedly drank the wine in the cup: "Several of us are members of the Truth-seeking Society, and this time we sincerely invite Niu Daoyou to join!"
What kind of sect is the Truth-Seeking Society? Li Qingshan hurriedly sank his mind into the Vientiane Book, but there was nothing Han Xiong said: "Niu Daoyou don't have to bother, the Truth-seeking Society is just a spontaneously organized association of scattered food, not a major sect, and it is impossible for there to be a record in the "Vientiane Book." "Scattered Cultivation Society?" Li Qingshan heard this kind of organization for the first time, and said curiously: "Actually, I haven't really understood what a casual cultivation is. "This is Niu Daoyou, you don't know, casual cultivation does not refer to just those monks who practice alone, as long as they are not from a family or sect, they are considered casual cultivation. ”
Li Qingshan said: "With Han Daoyou's cultivation of the fifth layer of qi refining, it is more than enough to set up a family by himself and form a gang of qi refiners." ”
Han Xiong smiled bitterly: "Without your own heritage and inheritance, how dare you call yourself a family sect, generally speaking, there are no foundation building monks in the family sect, you are 180,000 Qi refiners gathered together, and you are still scattered cultivation, not recognized by the cultivation path, if you really want to talk about it, my Han family is in Wanshun City, five hundred miles northeast, almost like the emperor of the soil." "But in the entire cultivation path, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it is often excluded and bullied by the disciples of the sect, so they form associations and unite to protect themselves. ”
Li Qingshan said: "With the strength of Han Daoyou's fifth-layer qi refining, can't you find a sect and join?"
Han Xiong sighed: "I'm so old, and I don't have such an amazing talent as Brother Niu, which sect will accept it? I can only rely on myself little by little, how about it, Niu Juxia can marry us to seek truth from the Society to take a look?,
Li Qingshan thought about it, the disciples of the sect he saw now were all young, and they had the strength of five or six layers. And looking at Han Xiong's appearance, he is forty or fifty years old, and his qualifications are definitely not good.
He remembered in a trance that Zhou Wenbin said that the sect generally only recruits young disciples, who grew up in the mountains since childhood, and are disciplined by the master, taken care of by the senior brothers and sisters, and the ties of various feelings, so that they will have a sense of identity and belonging to the sect, which is also the foundation of a sect.
Regarding Han Xiong's invitation, Li Qingshan pondered the words and said: "I'm afraid I don't have much time, and besides, I may join the sect in the future......
Seeing that Li Qingshan did not explicitly refuse, Han Xiong became even more enthusiastic: "The Truth-Seeking Society is not a sect, and it will not ask Daoists to do anything, but it will only meet once in a while to exchange cultivation experiences or exchange resources, and it will never waste any time." ”
The three Qi Refiners beside him echoed: "Yes, yes, everyone gets together to drink and talk, so happy!"
"A few years ago, we also organized people to enter Cangmang Mountain once and found hundreds of catties of Xuantie elites. Li Qingshan has a little more understanding of the xìng nature of this "truth-seeking society".
Han Xiong said: "This column, after a while, we will have a party in Youquan Valley, Taoist friends can go and take a look, if you don't like it, we will never force it." "Let me think about it!" Li Qingshan picked up his wine glass and said no more, Han Xiong exchanged glances with the three companions, and they didn't say more: "Come, drink!" Li Qingshan looked out the window, the brightly lit Fang Market, and the endless Qi Refiners on the street, and said strangely: "Has it always been so lively here?"
Han Xiong said: "How is that possible, it's not that the once-in-a-decade Three Mountains Medicine Collection Ceremony is approaching, so many Qi Refiners have been attracted, and they are preparing here!"
Li Qingshan was puzzled and said: "What does the Three Mountains Medicine Collection Ceremony have to do with ordinary casual cultivation?" Han Xiong said: "The Three Mountains disciples are strong, they go to collect medicine and attract the attention of demon beasts, and our scattered cultivation will have a chance to muddy the waters." ”
"Aren't we also being used by the Three Mountains to attract bait from demon beasts?" Li Qingshan turned his head and saw that the fourth-layer qi refiner named Zhou Wei who spoke was sneering all over his face.
Han Xiong said: "In short, the more people, the safer." ”
"Safety? I don't think so, every time the medicine is collected, there are countless qi refiners who die underground, and how many of them die in the mouths of demon beasts?" "Isn't it Cangmang Mountain underground?" Li Qingshan was surprised and put down his wine glass.
Han Xiong said with a smile: "Brother Niu, you really don't know anything, the spirit grass in the remaining veins of Cangmang Mountain, almost all that can be picked are almost all picked, if you go deeper, you can attract a demon general at random, and the qi refiners will have to die in pieces, who dares to go deeper?"
Li Qingshan had some foreboding in his heart, and continued to ask, "Isn't there a monster and demon general underground?"
Han Xiong said: "Of course, if you want to talk about it, some underground are more dangerous than Cangmang Mountain? ”
Isn't this the territory ruled by Ma Lu, Li Qingshan hurriedly asked, "Why is this?"
Han Xiong was happy to show off his knowledge: "You have to ask others, others may not be able to sue you for answering, but the president of my Seeking Truth Society, there is a friend who is a core disciple of Tomb Hill, so I know!" "Collecting medicine in other places, if you kill monsters and hunt demon pills, it will definitely attract demon generals to attack, and nine out of ten people can survive even if it is a good fate, but in this place, it is rare to attract demon generals, and this medicine collection ceremony will not really start in a month or two, do you know why?" "Why?"
"Because it will take until the weather is the coldest, it is said that at that time, the demon general will enter hibernation, and it is a good time to kill the demon beasts and pick the spirit grass, even if we turn the earth upside down. ”
Li Qingshan suddenly didn't know what to say, he knew that Ma Lu had two hobbies in his life, in addition to eating and sleeping, even if it wasn't winter, he was afraid that most of the time he was lying motionless on the stone platform, which gave the qi refiners a chance to take advantage of.
But why did he only hear Ma Lu talk about the oppression of other demon generals, but never talk about the threat from the earth?
"Why are you afraid of the demon generals? Aren't the heads of the three mountains all foundation building monks? As long as they join forces, even the demon generals can be killed!"
Han Xiong's eyes widened and said, "Niu Daoyou, don't you even know about the Alliance of Kings?" The suddenly amplified voice alarmed the Qi Refiners at the adjacent table, and they cast their eyes over and looked at Li Qingshan, all of them were a little surprised and contemptuous.
It seems that Li Qingshan doesn't know what the "alliance of kings" is, but he doesn't know that the sun is round.
Zhou Wei said: "Niu Daoyou has just come out of the mountain, and it is not strange that he has not heard of it, the book "Vientiane Book"
There must be a very detailed record, so you might as well take a look. ”
Li Qingshan grabbed the jade slip, his mind sank, and immediately got all the information of the "Alliance of Kings", the information was very complicated, if he read them one by one, he was afraid that he would not be able to read them for three days and three nights.
But after a cursory glance, I knew a rough idea, and understood why other qi refiners were so scared, and the qi refiners who didn't know about this matter could indeed be said to have not even entered the door.
The alliance of kings, originated from the Great Xia Holy Ancestor Emperor, legend has it that he has the blood of monsters, and when he fought the world, he received the help of many powerful demons to establish the Great Xia Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, the world was sealed, and the most important and prominent titles were the King of the Eight Prefectures and the Demon King of the Ten Directions.
Under the auspices of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, the kings met to discuss for a hundred days, and signed a covenant to demarcate the boundary between demons and humans, so that the two clans would never invade each other.
What made Ma Lu dare not step on the ground was not the demon commander above his head, or even the Mohai Dragon King in Qingzhou, but this covenant thousands of years ago.
However, the intelligence of low-level demon beasts is limited, and there are too many qi refiners and too many and complex, which is difficult to restrain them, so whether it is a demon beast rushing out of the ground or a qi refiner entering the ground, it is within the scope of tolerance and acquiescence, of course, being killed in the opponent's territory is also self-defeating.
This covenant really binds people and demons who have survived more than one catastrophe, whether it is a foundation monk who goes underground to kill demons, or a demon general who comes to the surface to slaughter humans.
The best result is also the one who breaks the covenant and is strangled by the two tribes. And the worst result is to rekindle the flames of war and involve all humans and youkai in it.
Today, the three foundation building monks went deep into the ground to kill a demon general, and tomorrow, there may be a demon marshal who will appear and slaughter Qingteng Mountain, along with all the qi refiners in this city.
Rao is Li Qingshan is bold, thinking about that kind of scene, he shuddered.
But when he heard that the Zhuji monk would not enter the underground, he also relaxed a little, but his heart was even more complicated, as the leader of the demon soldiers, the monsters and monsters were all his subordinates, and they could not be slaughtered by others.
And he also has absolute control over all kinds of resources underground, and he will never give them away.
If he is a pure monster, of course, he must immediately go back to the underground to gather a group of demons, lay traps, and kill all the invaders, but he can get a lot of treasures.
But after all, he changed from a human being, and this decision was not so simple to make, and for a while, he didn't even have the heart to eat.
He couldn't bear it again, and asked Han Xiong about more things about the medicine collection ceremony, and then he was about to leave.
Han Xiong saw that Li Qingshan was interested, and he didn't force him to stay, but he persuaded him to go to Youquan Valley to have a look.
After Li Qingshan asked the time and place, he finally agreed, not just to broaden his knowledge. Youquan Valley is not far away, and before the gathering is in the medicine collection ceremony, no matter what his decision is, he must always pay attention to the changes here.
When he came downstairs, Li Qingshan ordered another table of wine and food, put it in the treasure bag and took it away.
Late at night, Li Qingshan found an inn to stay in, huā five spirit stones, booked the best room, under the guidance of the boss, opened the old door, the space inside was much larger than expected, knowing that he used some kind of magic circle to increase the space.
Although it is winter, the room is as warm as spring, and there is a thick silk carpet in the room, and the huā pattern on it seems to be not just a huā pattern, but some kind of magic circle, so that the aura in the room is slightly denser than the appearance.
On a jade painting screen, embroidered with delicate beauties, holding a pipa yaoqin, the boss knocked on the screen, and the moving sound of silk and bamboo sounded.
A futon in the room is said to be able to gather the aura of heaven and earth, which is said to be very helpful for cultivation!
There is also a huge bath in the room, which can not only gather the water flow by itself, but also use two runes to regulate the water temperature.
All kinds of gadgets made by qi refiners, Li Qingshan has never seen them, he has never even thought about them, he can't say how high the technical content is, but they can definitely make people very comfortable.
Before the boss went out, he suddenly stopped, and smiled in a way that all men understand: "If you feel lonely and sleepless, I know a few young and beautiful female monks, just a few spirit stones" regarded Li Qingshan as a big high-roller who was generous, but had never seen much of the world.
Li Qingshan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, this situation and this scene, another inexplicable sense of crossing, but I don't know if there will be a police inspection, no, it is the eagle wolf guard who came to check the room, hurriedly waved his hand, and refused with righteous words: "No need, I want to rest!" The boss lù showed a little regretful expression, and said unwillingly: "There is a transmission note in the room, if you need it, just call me!"
Li Qingshan closed the door, exhaled, put down the bamboo basket on his body and opened it: "You can come out!" Xiao An stretched out his hands to him, Li Qingshan said: "Won't you come out by yourself?"
casually took out the jade slip of "Hidden Scripture Pavilion" and handed it to Xiao An, and then sat aside, holding his cheeks to watch Xiao An eat, but his mind was no longer known, and he didn't even have the heart to take out the book of "Dehydration and Condensation".
Xiao An Jiāo said, "Do you say you don't want to eat?"
Li Qingshan said: "I've eaten it." Xiao An had already brought a piece of fish to his mouth.
"It's getting more and more disobedient. Li Qingshan said, and ate the fish again, "What do you think I should do?"
Xiao An said strangely: "What should I do?"
Li Qingshan said: "Of course, it's that bullshit medicine collection ceremony." Xiao An's face was full of surprise: "Aren't you going to kill them all?"
Li Qingshan was stunned: "When did I say it, I don't know them, and they didn't come at me, it's not good to kill like this!" Xiao An lowered his head: "But I don't know them either!" For her, this reason is enough, no, there should be no need for any reason, except for the man in front of him, anyone can die.
The wonderful thing is that because of each other's existence, neither of them can become the big devil who does what he does.
: I feel much better today, who said that writers stay up late, why can't I stay up. !。
