Chapter 90: The Hou Brothers and Sisters
"You're still alive?"
Li Qiyue couldn't cry or laugh, how could there be such a question after meeting in the world? Later, after many bitter battles of life and death, he understood the deep meaning of this sentence and truly realized that it was good to be alive!
Seeing that Li Qiyue didn't speak, Wei Aotian said again: "What about the person chasing you?"
"Oh, it's the person named Xu Tianhua in the Demon Dao? He has been killed by the juniors, this is his identity card. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Li Qiyue threw a jade plaque with an oily green body to Wei Aotian.
Wei Aotian took it, carefully identified it, and after confirming that it was correct, he put it in his sleeve and said to Li Qiyue: "If it weren't for you to kill Xu Tianhua, this team of hundreds of people would not be so complete, this time you have a lot of credit, I will definitely report it truthfully." ”
Li Qiyue saw that Wei Aotian's face was haggard, and he didn't have the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers like before, so he asked carefully: "Senior, I don't know how your battle situation is?"
"Oh, although we managed to repel them and seriously wound two of them, we were also one dead and one seriously wounded. In this battle, Qin Tian and Qin Daoyou unfortunately fell, Ji Linglong was seriously injured, and it will probably take at least three and five years to fully recover, I was also slightly injured, and my natal magic weapon was severely damaged, alas......"
Li Qiyue wanted to give away some elixir, but after thinking about it, he didn't do it after all.
Fortunately, there was no enemy along the way, and after Wei Aotian handed over the errand, he led the team back to the camp. One day, when Li Qiyue was strolling around the campsite, he took a fancy to a lonely ridge, so he proposed to Wei Aotian that he wanted to build a temporary cave mansion in the lonely ridge in case of idle things to continue his practice, Wei Aotian agreed, and ordered the whole team not to disturb unless necessary.
The lonely ridge covers an area of about one acre, the height is not more than 30 zhang, the surface is about three feet thick for the humus, the trees and shrubs on the ridge are dense, and the humus is hard rock under the humus. Li Qiyue spent a whole day digging out four caves of different sizes in the lonely ridge, and arranged several sets of magic circles, judging from his existing information, even if the cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Jiedan wanted to break these sets of magic circles, it would not be possible to succeed in three or five days, and if they were really broken, he would be able to take the opportunity to escape.
Then he raised the golden thread ice silkworm, red-crowned purple kite, jade-faced praying mantis and other spiritual pets in each cave room, and left a cave room for him to meditate and practice, fortunately, when he left Jiugu Mountain, he also took the spiritual spring with him, otherwise with the thin aura here, compared with Jiugu Mountain, it is basically a day up and one underground, but there is a spiritual spring to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, but there is not much difference.
Li Qiyue sometimes meditated and practiced, sometimes practiced various spells, trained spiritual pets, and took pills such as Shenshen Pill, Miao Miao Dan and Baoyuan Pill on time...... There is no sun and moon in practice, and sure enough, in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and on this day, he heard someone walking near Guling, so he hurriedly walked out of the cave.
Sure enough, as he expected, the person who came was Wei Aotian himself, and at this time he had returned to his previous demeanor.
Li Qiyue hurriedly visited him and said, "The seniors are here, I don't know what to order?"
"I have already reported your merits last time, and the news of the commendation should come soon. This time I am looking for you for something else, although there are a lot of tasks some time ago, but they are all small things, I told others to do it, knowing that you are not easy to do penance because of qualification problems, so I did not bother you. Now the above summarizes all aspects of the news, I learned that there are people in the Demon Dao in groups of three or five, sneak attack and plunder my mineral deposits distributed in all parts of the Wan Ling Mountain, I heard that the loss is not small, because they are elusive, there are more than ten people, dozens of people into a team when they gather, scattered is one or two hidden reckless Wan Ling Mountain everywhere, therefore, it is impossible to prevent it. The above asked us to form a team to go to Wanren Mountain to assist in the inspection of various mines, and if we found people in the Demon Dao, we would snipe immediately. ”
Wei Aotian paused and said, "At present, in the team, except for Tu Cheng and I who have fought against the Demon Dao, the rest is you, and Ji Linglong is still seriously injured, so I think about it, I still trouble you to come with us to increase our strength." ”
"Where the responsibility lies, it is natural for Wei seniors to send juniors. Li Qiyue smiled faintly, "When did the seniors decide to leave?"
"Early tomorrow morning. Wei Aotian added, "This mission will last for three years. ”
Ten days later, approaching the periphery of Wanren Mountain, Li Qiyue's mind moved, and said, "Senior Wei, the junior has an idea that I want to discuss with my senior. ”
"Li Daoyou, if you have an idea, just say it, if I can agree, I will naturally agree. ”
"In fact, in this team, there is not much more than me, and there is not much less than me, and our team is in the light, even if there are people in the demon path, they will avoid it. If you allow it, you will patrol according to the established route, and I want to be the vanguard, and if the enemy is strong, we can take measures early. ”
Tu Cheng on the side took over and said: "Brother Wei, I also have this intention, originally I wanted to take the first step, but I was worried that once I encountered a large group of people in the Demon Dao, you and everyone would not be able to withstand it, but it would put my team in danger, so I thought about who to let be the vanguard, since Li Daoyou volunteered, I thought that Li Daoyou could take on this big responsibility." ”
Wei Aotian pondered for a long time and said, "Every time the Demon Dao invades, at least more than thirty percent of my cultivators in the Central Plains Kyushu have fallen, especially those who have cultivated to low levels like us. Since Li Daoyou has the intention to act as a pioneer, it is difficult for me to stop it, but Li Daoyou, you must know that once you leave our team, it means losing the support of us and others, and your danger will increase exponentially——"
"Thank you Senior Wei for reminding me. ”
"Well, if you see that the enemy is strong and you can escape by yourself, we will naturally not blame you, and you can choose to return to the team at that time, or you can return to Qilian Mountain by yourself, or attach to other teams. ”
"Younger generations, thank you for your love. ”
After Li Qiyue left the team, he put on a white-faced scholar who had transformed into a thousand faces and changed into his early twenties, shaking the folding fan he carried with him in his early years, just like a gentleman with a good demeanor. Now for half a month, except for the occasional discovery of one or two first-level demon beasts, I haven't encountered anyone including the Demon Dao.
On this day, it was noon on the day, and he sat cross-legged on a rock mouth to meditate, taking a high-grade spirit stone in each hand, and there was a crooked neck tree on top of his head to shade him.
When he opened his eyes and looked around, he noticed two people walking hundreds of feet away, one of them playing with a vulture standing on his shoulder, and the other carrying a ghost-headed knife, and the two of them were talking from left to right.
"Brother Yu, it shouldn't have been our business, why did you rush to ask for this errand?"
"Brother Xia, don't you know that Ma Wuye grass is not fat, people are not rich, and they are not rich? You don't look at the Hou family, all of them are so rich, if we don't take the initiative to fight for it, I'm afraid we won't even have our share in picking up the rest? Not to mention that we don't want to do this task at all, after they succeed, they will naturally share our share, otherwise who will defect to their Hou family in the future?"
"But this trip is like death. Hmph, a few of them are ambushing behind, and letting the two of us be targets and bait, is it like sending them to death?"
"Isn't there no other task? I also took on this task on impulse, and you think I want to die by myself? Not to mention that we are indeed inferior to others. Do you dare to say half a word in front of Hou Laosan and Hou Laosi's seniors?" said impatiently the vulture's man, "We are brothers who grew up playing with mud together, and you don't have to be verbose, you have blessings and hardships." ”
The man with the ghost-headed knife closed his mouth and looked back at the distance behind him, there was nothing to see in the distance.
When Li Qiyue saw these two people dressed up, he knew that they were the identity of the Northern Demon Dao, and their cultivation was the twelfth level of the Qi cultivation period, so he made up his mind and continued to meditate, but he hid his snort and body, if he didn't look carefully, no one would be able to see that he was hiding on the mouth of the rock in the middle of the mountain.
When the two people passed underneath it, he jumped down from the rock mouth to stop them, shook the folding fan, and said with a smile: "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you pass here, leave the money to buy the road, but if you don't say half a word, you can just kill and bury ......."
When Li Qiyue suddenly appeared, the person who was playing with the vulture trembled all over, and the vulture on his shoulder rose into the air, and when he felt that the vulture was strange, it had already flown dozens of feet away, and he couldn't catch up for a while, so he decided to fight quickly.
He was about to make a move, but the man carrying the ghost-headed knife had already come to his senses, and while turning around and running backwards desperately, he tore his throat and shouted: "Help, help—"
The man who played with the vulture was not slow to react, and he ran away, although he was one step behind, but he sacrificed a spirit talisman while running, and a whirlwind suddenly pounced on Li Qiyue.
In fact, at the same time that the person who resisted the ghost head knife turned around and fled, Li Qiyue had already realized that something was wrong, as for what was wrong, he didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't want to catch a person for torture, so he simply turned around and ran away while they were running, but he wasted a spirit talisman from the person who played with the vulture.
Li Qiyue ran as far as he could towards the place where Wei Aotian and the others might appear, and when he ran dozens of miles away, there were two people in front of him blocking his way.
"I thought that the one who scared the two of them like mice seeing a cat should be a master, but it turned out to be just a thirteenth-level junior in the Qi cultivation period with extremely mediocre qualifications, and it was in vain that we spent a lot of effort to rush over. ”
"I haven't done it for a few days, so let this kid practice for me. ”
The two people who spoke were Hou Laosan and Hou Laosi of the Hou family, the Hou family is one of the big families in the northern demon road, this branch of the Hou surname was divided in the early years, a total of four men and one woman, the cultivation is high and low, all of them are above the foundation building period, headed by the five brothers and sisters of the Hou family, and nearly 30 people are recruited, including three people who are cultivated during the foundation building period, but where there is a little big thing, they are all dispatched, because of the looting and in the northern demon road is famous, and because of its big family background, even if there are people who have cultivated above the Dan period when they encounter them, they are also detours, otherwise if they are angered, there is still the possibility of being killed。
