[After months of hard waiting, the handsome and incomparable male number two in this book is finally out!Welcome friends to watch and reward!O(∩_∩)O thank you!]

Practice diligently every day, and you don't feel that time flies.

On this day, Cheng Yunfan was reading "Foreign Objects" in the cave, and a strange junior brother came from outside the cave. Since the last time he secretly donated spirit stones, the early stage disciples of Qi cultivation who opened the pulse in the sect have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and Long Yin Peak is mostly unfamiliar faces.

This disciple, who only had the second layer of Qi cultivation, saw that there was no one around, so he shouted generously: "This is Senior Brother Cheng's Cave Mansion?"

Although Cheng Yunfan was surprised, he still opened the cave mansion and said politely: "Exactly, I don't know what happened to this junior brother?"

"On the orders of Deacon Liu, the senior brother asks the senior brother to go to the deacon's house immediately. "The person in front of him doesn't know his name and surname, and he looks like he is doing business.

"Oh, I don't know what Deacon Liu called me?

"I don't know what's going on, and my brother is only responsible for the interrogation. The man finished speaking, and waited aside.

Cheng Yunfan chuckled in his heart, feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to delay, and followed this person to the deacon's courtyard on a low hillside in front of Zhengyang Peak, where there was a big square, Cheng Yunfan remembered, but Cheng Yunfan really hadn't been to the deacon's house.

The Deacon's House is the place where the Sanyang Sect centralizes the management of the deacons of the sect, and there are three archdeacons in it, all of whom have completed the cultivation of qi.

In a spacious room, there was a thin old man with a black mole on his chin, the old man's triangular eyes were small but majestic, and when he saw Cheng Yunfan coming in, he was expressionless for a long time.

Cheng Yunfan first saluted respectfully: "I've seen Archdeacon Liu." ”

After a long time, the old man spoke: "You are Long Yin Peak Cheng Yunfan?"

"Exactly!"

"Since you have advanced to the middle stage of Qi refining, why don't you come to the Deacon's House to receive the assignment of the sect? If the delay of three or two months is understandable, nearly a year has passed, and if we don't invite you, you won't come, right?" The words were obviously reprimanded and threatened.

"The disciple doesn't dare, Archdeacon Mingjian, the disciple has been diligent in penance in the cave, and there have been few people to teach, so I don't know that I have to come to receive the task assigned by the sect in the middle of the advanced qi training, and I think that it is enough to complete the task twice a year. ”

In fact, this deacon also made something out of nothing.

A few days ago, he heard a distant cousin and nephew say that Yuan Qing'er was chasing Yuan Yangfeng, and boasted that this daughter had a good impression of him, he didn't believe it, but he thought that this cousin and nephew were also in Yuan Yangfeng, and it was a three-spirit root, and his cultivation was not bad, and he could get the favor of the granddaughter of the peak master. This cousin and nephew wanted to find someone to be angry with this daughter, so he naturally agreed, which is why today's situation is here.

It was also this deacon fox who was fake and powerful, and felt that Cheng Yunfan, a mid-stage disciple of Qi cultivation with no teacher and no background, let him rub it round and flatten, so he casually found a reason to give him some suffering. I found out that Cheng Yunfan had advanced to the middle stage of Qi cultivation in one year, but this year's task in the door was only completed once, and I was worried about it.

In the Sanyang Sect, disciples can continue to choose to do the tasks issued by the sect twice a year, or they can choose to take over the tasks designated by the sect, and the completion of one task can be worth three years.

The little power in his hand can be used here, so he scared Cheng Yunfan as an ignorant person, and it really worked. Then he continued to say with a straight face: "Now that you have been delaying for a long time, the Deacon's House has decided to punish you a little more lightly and assign you a task. You go to the Great Wilderness Mountain to assist the Zhang family, a Xiuzhen family affiliated with my sect, to guard the fire marble mine for half a year. If the task is completed, the task can be exempted for three years. If there is a mistake, the Deacon Board will punish it according to the circumstances. ”

Cheng Yunfan saw that it was not a big deal to just guard the mine, so he comforted him.

How did he know that this mine is the only two economic sources of the Sanyang Sect, it is in the westernmost part of Sanyang Mountain, and it is connected to the forces of the Corpse Spirit Gate and the Rakshasa Gate, the mountains are deep and the forests are lush, and there are many monsters, and the Zhang family is only an inferior Xiuzhen family, and it is the only immortal cultivation family that has not yet separated from the Sanyang Sect.

This place is a place where the Sanyang Sect punishes disciples in disguise, and few disciples visit.

Cheng Yunfan originally planned to know Yu Huai'an, saying that he would go out to do a mission for half a year, so that he would have time to take care of the Tiangongfang, but seeing that there was no one in his cave mansion, he had to leave a summons. I hope that when he comes back, he will have time to help refine some low-grade pills and put them in the Tiangong Workshop without charging any fees, and the harvest will all belong to him, which can be regarded as attracting some popularity to the Tiangong Workshop.

He also summoned Nie Fengyun, Bao Zhao, Nangong Wuji and others, saying that he went to the Great Wilderness Mountain to guard the mine. also implicitly said that he invested in a store, so that they could take care of the business when they needed it, and they could also get a discount.

After summoning Donald again and explaining everything, he packed his luggage and hurried to the Great Wilderness Mountain.

On the way, I read the mission introduction and understand some general situation.

The mine he wants to assist in garrisoning is located in the middle of the Great Wilderness Mountain, and the scale is not large, with a radius of more than ten miles. It can only be regarded as a small mine. Usually, only the Zhang family's team of five mid-stage Qi refining disciples take turns to be stationed here, and the team leader is only a sixth-level peak cultivator.

After three days of hurrying, the further southwest, the more barren mountains and mountains, and there are few people.

In the afternoon of this day, when you are about to reach the destination, you can see a small town near the river, where there are mountain delicacies and wild game with the green mountains at the back, and the fish and rice are obtained by the green water in front of them, and the two are one, so there are many mortals who thrive here.

Not far from the outside of the town, in the mountain col, is where the Zhang family of the Xiuxian family is located, it is said that there are thousands of years of rooting here, they have more or less sheltered the neighbors, there are no fierce beasts and monsters in a radius of 100 miles, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

The local people respectfully called the master of the Zhang family "Zhang Tianshi", and this Zhang Mansion was also called "Heavenly Master's Mansion" by ordinary people.

When Cheng Yunfan heard this, he couldn't help crying and laughing. A low-end family of immortal cultivators is so highly regarded and admired by mortals, so what about the sect of cultivating immortals, in the eyes of ordinary people, isn't it like an immortal?

Linjiang Town, is the official road of the southwest frontier of South Chu to the national capital, and the intersection of Linjiang, the first major tributary of the Chu River, is quite prosperous, here is less than 100 miles to the east, after the Linjiang Pass of 10,000 people, a horse and a flat river for 3,000 miles, it will go directly to Yunjinzhou, where the capital of Southern Chu is located.

Yunjin Prefecture is named because of its abundance of cloud brocade.

Therefore, this is an important barrier, which is why the heavy army is stationed, and soldiers and soldiers can be seen everywhere.

In his previous life, Cheng Yunfan had been in the army for many years, so when he saw these soldiers, he suddenly felt a lot of kindness in his heart. Watching the soldiers who brag and drink in the teahouse is also a rare pleasure in life.

Seeing that the red sun was sinking in the west, he wanted to rush to Zhang's house at dusk, and at night he took advantage of the night to discuss the matter of co-defending, and tomorrow morning, he could go up the mountain to guard the mine.

Thinking of this, he got up from the second floor of the teahouse and went straight downstairs to settle the bill.

As soon as he deviated from the official road and walked less than two hundred steps in the direction of the mountain pass, he was stopped by a young general wearing golden armor, only to see that he was quite tall, with a heroic spirit, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose like a gall, thin lips slightly cloudy, and a green stubble on his chin faintly visible.

The general was gesturing from afar to stop Cheng Yunfan, signaling him not to go any further.

"Dare to ask the general, stop the poor road, what is the so-called?" Cheng Yunfan walked a few steps forward, came to this person, made a mockery, and asked questions without hurry.

The young general was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that it was a cultivator who stopped him. It is no wonder that although Cheng Yunfan is dressed in a Taoist robe, he has neither the dusting that you Fang Taoist is accustomed to, nor the sword, so it is naturally difficult to be identified at this dusk.

"It turned out to be the head of the Fang Wai Dao. The young general bowed his hand, quite respectfully, and said in a gentle voice, "Recently, there have been many fierce beasts here, which is quite unsafe, and the night is getting dark, why did the Taoist go into the mountain alone?"

"I see, dare to ask the general, what kind of fierce beast is it, can it hurt people?" Cheng Yunfan was quite curious, wondering if it would bring danger to his guarding of the mine.

"I don't know this for the time being, and I persuade the Taoist not to insist on entering the mountain, if there is really something important, wait for tomorrow to dawn, and set off with others. The general was quite polite, and his voice had a taste of a golden iron horse, which was very pleasant.

Cheng Yunfan didn't want to entangle with a worldly person, so he said again: "Thank you for the general's reminder, the poor road will return." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and left, but it was just a detour.

The general stood still in the twilight, looking at the young Taoist walking very fast, his clothes fluttering, spotless, not as if he had been walking outside for a long time, and his face did not look like he was tired, he must be a master of the world.

He frowned slightly, but without thinking about it, he began to continue patrolling and being on duty.

The Zhang family of the "Heavenly Master's Mansion" is only fifty or sixty miles away from here, and it is only a moment away from Chengyun Fan to cultivate and fly with the sword.

Standing in front of a high-rise building with "Zhang Mansion" written on it, the two couplets next to it are written very imposingly: Ask the Great Wilderness Mountain, Xiuzhen has a family.

Cheng Yunfan just smiled before he sent out a transmission note.

The door of the building opened, and a middle-aged man with a gray beard came out from the ninth floor of qi refining, and there were a group of people behind him who opened the door of the mansion and hurriedly came out to greet him.

Far away, the man said: "Senior disciple of the sect, you have come from afar, and you have worked hard! The head of the Zhangmen family, the common word is fixed, he has never greeted him from afar, and he hopes to forgive his sins." ”

"Senior Brother Zhang is polite!" Cheng Yunfan replied.

The two sat down in the main hall, and Cheng Yunfan handed over the token and the task jade slip first.

The Zhang Dingfang took it and made a decision, only to see that the color of the jade slip changed, indicating that Cheng Yunfan had taken the task.

Then the host and guest narrated, and the head of the family briefly introduced the situation, which was similar to what Cheng Yunfan understood. The two agreed that Cheng Yunfan would lead a team of Zhang family disciples to the mining area tomorrow to guard. Since then, there has been an automatic rotation of one team per month.

"Senior Brother Zhang, just now I was in Linjiang Town, and I saw a lot of guards brave, saying that they were defending against fierce beasts, do you know what the so-called thing is?" asked Cheng Yunfan.

"There are senior disciples Lao Cheng who are concerned about inquiring, but they are just ordinary low-level demon beasts. Today, I have assigned my disciples to hunt down. The head of the house said very generously and gently.

"Oh, so, it's reassuring to know what's going on. Cheng Yunfan got up and said, "In the next half a year, the junior brother will perform the task of the sect here, and there will be a lot of disturbances, and I hope that Senior Brother Zhang will not mind." ”

"How dare you, how dare you, the junior brother is on the order of the sect to come to carry out the task, and my Zhang family will definitely fully cooperate to ensure that the junior brother is safe and worry-free, and successfully completes the task. "The owner of the house was very gracious.

After the two of them finished talking, they simply used snacks and dispersed, just waiting for tomorrow to set off for the mountain.

That night, Cheng Yunfan quietly released his divine sense to investigate, this Zhang family actually has at least three masters of Qi Cultivation Great Perfection, which is estimated to be the biggest reliance of the Zhang family, so he didn't dare to make a mistake.
