Chapter 045: Entrustment
"It's Zhang Jiuxiao!" Zhang Jiuxiao replied.
"I am a member of the city lord's mansion, and my lord invited my son to a dinner party. β
The city lord's mansion asked Zhang Jiuxiao to ride a horse, Zhang Jiuxiao just smiled, ran the wind spirit root, turned his hands into wings, jumped forward quickly, his feet were not dusty, and he flew forward on the grass tips and leaves, and the speed surpassed the galloping horse!
In less than an hour, he came to the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Jiuxiao was led to the study, and he stayed for a long time before seeing the City Lord.
The city lord is in his forties, dressed in cyan civilian clothes, with a kind attitude, and at first glance he is born as a scholar.
"Zhang Jiuxiao has seen the city lord!" Zhang Jiuxiao arched.
"You're welcome, you and Qingyan are friends, I'll call you a virtuous nephew!" The city lord smiled lightly, looked at Zhang Jiuxiao unabashedly, and praised with a smile after a long time: "Not arrogant or impatient, the instrument is lofty, there are young people rushing in, and there are also young people who don't have calmness...... Yes, Qingyan didn't look at the wrong person. β
"Uncle Xie's compliment!"
Not long after, the next person brought up wine and food, and the city lord's wife and Mo Qingyan also came out to have dinner together.
The city lord's wife was amiable and talked casually, and she was very pleased to see Zhang Jiuxiao's eyes, and kept putting vegetables in his bowl.
Halfway through the meal, everyone became acquainted, and the city lord slowly spoke:
"Jiuxiao, Qingyan is my niece and nephew, but she was raised by my husband and wife. Our couple has no children so far, and has always regarded Qingyan as their own daughter. It's a pity that we are all ordinary people and can't set foot on the road of cultivating immortals, but Qingyan is extraordinary, although the two of us love her, we can't stop her opportunity. β
The city lord sighed slightly, he really treated Qingyan as a daughter!
Now that their daughter is leaving, the parents can't help but feel a little melancholy and loss.
The City Lord's Lady smiled and gently held his hand: "Qingyan's mother was once the Saint to be chosen by the Natural Sect, and she finally left the sect because she fell in love with my brother, but there are still some familiar people in the sect. We heard that you were going out to wander, so we wanted you and Qingyan to join the Nature Sect. β
"The Natural Sect is one of the nine righteous sects in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, but people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves, even if they are famous and decent, there will be fights. Qingyan is ingenious, but after all, she is a girl with a simple mind, and we are afraid that she will be bullied, so I want you to take care of her. β
"Thank you uncle for your advice, Jiuxiao swears that he will take care of Miss Qingyan. Zhang Jiuxiao nodded sincerely.
"Auntie, I really don't want to leave you. The situation in this world is turbulent and dangerous, and you and your uncle have no one to protect you. Qingyan would rather not join the Natural Sect than leave you......" Mo Qingyan said as she cried.
She was right, the city lord was able to sit firmly until today, and it had nothing to do with Mo Qingyan's secret protection.
"No, you can only save your father and mother when you join the Natural Sect and cultivate the Immortal Dao, and when you are strong. β
"Yes, you can't be willful...... You have to remember that only you have hope of saving your mom and dad. β
The city lord and his wife refused at the same time, obviously Mo Qingyan's parents still had a story, but they didn't say it, and Zhang Jiuxiao didn't want to ask. Zhang Jiuxiao hesitated slightly, took out a piece of five-colored soil, pinched it into a round ball, and handed it to the city lord:
"Uncle rest assured, if you are in trouble, you can send someone to Qingshan Village with this thing and hand it over to the village chief Lu Changgen, and someone will come to help. If you really encounter something unstoppable, you can go to the Land Temple in Castle Peak Village, and someone will protect you. β
He hid a trace of soul breath in the five-colored soil, as long as this thing arrived in Qingshan Village, it would be perceived by Tao Ying and Tao Mouse, and the two knew that it was left by Zhang Jiuxiao, so they would naturally come to help.
As for the new land lord, although his strength is not strong, around the land temple, he already has a strength comparable to that of a strong person in the Jindan realm. It's just that these powers are consumables, which require the accumulation of the power of faith, and they can't be Yuanli Land Temple yet.
"Someone to help?" the city lord wondered.
"I have two friends who live in seclusion in Qingshan Village, their strength is good, and they are comparable to the innate peak masters together. "Zhang Jiuxiao doesn't break it, after all, he uses demon beasts as his doppelganger, and few people believe such things, "I also ask the city lord to take care of Qingshan Village." β
"That's very good!" the lord nodded excitedly.
In this chaotic era, he is a small city lord who has not cultivated, and it is really difficult to survive without support.
Zhang Jiuxiao's words made Mo Qingyan breathe a sigh of relief, she had seen the existence of Tao Ying and Tao Mouse, and she was very confident in the strength of the two.
......
After staying in the City Lord's Mansion for one night, Zhang Jiuxiao and Mo Qingyan set off early on the second day and went to the Natural Sect.
Before leaving, the city lord's wife took out two cyan jade tablets engraved with the word "nature" and told them that this was the order of the Natural Sect to accept apprentices, and those who held this order did not need to be assessed and could be directly counted in the Natural Sect.
The Natural Sect was nearly two thousand miles away from Rongchang City, and it took seven or eight days for the two of them to ride horses all the way.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth and I didn't encounter any trouble.
With his dark and green face, he naturally didn't dare to show people easily, and he covered his face with a light veil along the way.
The two of them traveled all the way, but they did not show their cultivation strength, but they were like a couple who traveled abroad.
On the seventh day, we finally arrived at the boundary of Wind and Rain City!
Wind and Rain City is a city controlled by the Natural Sect, and the city lord is not under the management of the state, but is controlled by the disciples of the Natural Sect.
"Driving ......"
As soon as he entered the realm of Tianxiang City, he saw four fast horses rushing towards him.
Immediately, the knights were dressed in black, fierce and agile, obviously extraordinary, and all of them were innate masters.
It's just that these four congenital masters, all of them have unsteady breath at the moment, their faces are shocked, and they keep looking back, as if they are worried about being chased and killed, and the whip whips the horses like galloping.
"Get out of hereβ"
The leader's face was full of fierceness, and in the midst of the loud cheers, he raised his whip and whipped towards Zhang Jiuxiao's horse.
"Phewβ"
Zhang Jiuxiao lifted the horse's head, let go of the whip, turned around quickly, and quickly jumped into the wheat field next to him.
Although the other party is fierce, he doesn't want to cause trouble, so just endure it.
"Huh!"
The four of them were slightly surprised, obviously they didn't expect Zhang Jiuxiao to have such control at such a young age.
However, they didn't have time to think about it, so they ran straight ahead, as if there were fierce beasts chasing after them.
"Hey, hey, four flying eagles, can you run?"
A yin and yang strange voice came, but I saw a flying sword slashing overhead, and a black figure stood on the sword.
"It's not good, it's Meng Tianlong!"
"Oops, it's this little evil star!"
As soon as the four innate masters saw the person, their faces suddenly changed, obviously knowing that they were by no means the opponents of the other party.
Although the four monsters of the Flying Eagle are all congenital, and the eldest of them is still a half-step Jindan, but in the hands of Meng Tianlong, a real Jindan master, he will definitely not be able to make ten moves.
"Although the treasure is good, life matters!"
"Boss, this time we are planted. β
Two of the four monsters of the Flying Eagle saw that it was Meng Tianlong who was chasing after them, and their faces turned pale immediately, and they hurriedly spoke.
The old man among the four monsters was full of helplessness, and after a little hesitation, he had to grit his teeth and lift up a package:
"Young Master Meng, we Flying Eagle Four Monsters admit it...... Heavenly soldiers are here, here you go!"
As soon as the package was raised, it flew into the sky, and a sword light fell from the sky, rolled up the package and fell back into Meng Tianlong's hand.
Meng Tianlong smiled proudly, opened the package on the spot, looked at it carefully, and soon laughed excitedly.
Looking at the fleeing figure of the four flying eagles, Meng Tianlong suddenly accelerated, and four sword lights shot out from his hands.
"It's not good, Meng Tianlong wants to kill the sword!"
"This little butcher is really not a good person!"
