Chapter 223: Jixian Mansion City [II]
Thinking of this, Fang Nan's mood became more and more depressed, and seeing that the small courtyard was close in front of him, he took a long breath, reluctantly pulled his thoughts back, and his eyes fell on the hidden courtyard gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At present, he has stepped into the realm of the twelfth layer of Qi Refining for more than a month, and his cultivation and state of mind are almost stable, and after some more preparations, he can try to swallow the Tsukidan with incomplete medicinal power to advance his cultivation to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
Pushing open the courtyard door, Fang Nan couldn't help but be stunned as soon as he stepped in, only to see that in the courtyard at this moment, a lean middle-aged man was pacing back and forth under the old tree in the corner of the courtyard, with an anxious look on his face.
"Senior Brother Hao, ...... you?"
Seeing this scene, Fang Nan frowned and asked with some puzzlement.
The thin man was the Senior Brother Hao in the same courtyard, when he heard the call, he raised his head suddenly, and after seeing the person who came clearly, a look of great joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he stepped forward excitedly and said, "Senior Brother Fang, let me wait for a while, you can be regarded as back!"
"Senior brother, it's better to make it clear first, I just went out to do something today, what's the matter of being so anxious?"
Fang Nan's relationship with the other party was not very familiar, and seeing him come to him with a shy old face, he subconsciously frowned and asked lightly.
"Hey, hey, it's a good thing!
The monk surnamed Hao realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly took a small step back, and then arched his hand with a smile, and said, "Senior brother doesn't know yet, this time the sect assignment mission, you and I were both selected, if everything goes well, we can start tomorrow." ”
"Assignment?"
Fang Nan was surprised, and a hint of surprise flashed on his face.
The so-called assignment task, that is, when the sect needs to deal with some affairs far away from the Yuqing Mountain Range, the disciples in the sect are sent to complete the task, in addition to being a little time-consuming, most of the difficulties are not great, but they can be exempted from the usual chores during this time, and they can also receive a large amount of spirit stone reward, so the quota has always been the object of competition for disciples inside and outside the sect.
It's just that there are not many such tasks, and they only look like a dozen times a year, and Fang Nan's presence in the door has always been thin, and it is normal that he has not received it.
"With such a low chance, it can actually be my turn, what kind of task is it?" Fang Nan said with a slight raised eyebrow.
"It's nothing, it's just to go to Jixian Mansion City to help the little cubs of the Taiqing Taoist Temple deal with some troubles, I heard that there is some mortal demon sect that is making a fuss, and there is also a trace of cultivators, they can't hold it down, so they came to ask our Yuqing Sect to take action." The monk surnamed Hao explained with a smile.
"Blood Demon Altar?"
Fang Nan's expression moved slightly, and he said softly.
"Yes, it's the Blood Demon Altar. The monk surnamed Hao nodded, but he reacted halfway through speaking, and said suspiciously: "Hey, no, didn't you receive the task, junior brother, how did you know this name?"
"I've been making trouble for a few years before, and I've just heard about it. Fang Nan shook his head indifferently, lightly covered up the past, and then touched his chin as if he remembered something, "Besides, didn't the sect also send a similar task a few months ago, and the senior disciples Jiang who took over the task haven't come back yet, could it be that this matter is so tricky that even they can't solve it?"
"It shouldn't be, it's tricky, the sect didn't take it seriously before, and only sent two or three of them to Senior Brother Jiang, it is estimated that the scope of the chaos is too wide to manage. The monk surnamed Hao was a little disapproving, and said with a smile, "This time it's very different, it is said that it was personally led by Uncle Long of Qingyun Peak, and all the peaks have one or two disciples, adding up to a total of ten people, so many immortal cultivators, and they can't solve the mortal demon sect of two or three kittens?"
"And the foundation monk is out of the horse?"
Fang Nan frowned, inexplicably remembering some things related to this before, and at this moment, seeing that the monk surnamed Hao looked like he didn't take the Blood Demon Altar seriously at all, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"It stands to reason that I don't think it's necessary, but I heard that this Longyan Dragon Uncle of Qingyun Peak is a rare alien spirit root, he only advanced to build a foundation two months ago, and he is not yet thirty years old this year. ”
When the monk surnamed Hao saw Fang Nan's expression, he thought that he thought that the Zhuji monk had used a knife to kill chickens, so he hurriedly explained with a smile.
Ever since he had seen Fang Nan's talisman making technique back then, and had witnessed Fang Nan's soaring cultivation speed in recent years, his attitude towards Fang Nan had already been very different, and every time he saw it, he was extremely polite, but Fang Nan felt that this person was really flamboyant and didn't want to get too close.
"It turned out to be Uncle Shi who had just advanced, I said. Fang Nan said casually, but he groaned in his heart.
Since it was his turn to take the task of the sect this time, as an ordinary foreign affairs disciple, he was not qualified to refuse anything anyway, even if he had doubts about the real situation on the side of the Blood Demon Altar at this moment, he could only accept this reality.
Fortunately, now that his realm has been consolidated, the Frost Ancient Moth has also finished its advancement, and he can take it with him, otherwise, it would be a little troublesome to leave the sect like this.
After chatting with the monk surnamed Hao for a while, and figuring out the location and time of the task assembly, he didn't say anything more, returned to his room, and began to pack up and make some preparations for this long trip.
...............
It was early autumn and the sky was crisp.
Under the autumn sun, the city wall stretches for twenty or thirty miles, majestic and magnificent, standing quietly in the endless plains around it, and it has been hundreds of years.
Thirty or forty miles away from the city wall, a green light suddenly galloped by, and in the blink of an eye, it flew several miles away, and when you looked closely, it was a cyan giant boat several feet long.
There were about ten people on the boat, and the first one looked to be no more than twenty years old, with a sallow face and deep bags under his eyes.
Most of the eight or nine people behind him were dressed in satin blue robes, both men and women, young and old, but in front of this sallow young man, they all looked respectful, and there was obviously a big gap between their status.
When the city wall of Jixian Mansion faintly appeared in sight, the young monk with a sallow face moved his eyes slightly, turned his head, and ordered lightly: "Jixian Mansion is almost here, you will land with me at the Taiqing Taoist Temple later, converge and retreat, and don't make too much movement, so as not to attract the attention of mortals." ”
