protect our patriarch

Chapter 268 The harvest and the young and outstanding clansmen
……

"Shut up, don't scold my brother." The seven-tailed fire fox jumped out to protect "brother" loyally, "If there was no brother Shouzhe, I would have died when I crossed the catastrophe. I and your ancestors of the Yuwen family are indeed I had a spiritual deed, enjoyed the offerings of the Yuwen clan, and protected the Yuwen clan for a long time. But this does not mean that my lady's private life also needs to be restrained by your Yuwen clan."

Seeing her getting angry, Mrs. Bi Lian was timid, and said with a shy smile, "Ancestor Firefox, I don't actually mean that. It's just that the ancestor is simple and straightforward, and I'm afraid that the ancestor will be fooled by others."

As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Shouzhe faintly.

Not a single good thing has happened since I met this guy.Every time he suffered a big loss in his hands, no, even the ancestor of Firefox was almost abducted by him.

"Bilian, my ancestor has lived for so many years, and has seen more people than you have eaten rice. Who can let me be fooled?" The seven-tailed firefox waved its big fluffy tail, looking old-fashioned, "Shou Brother Zhe is the best person I have ever met in my life."

Madam Bilian was speechless.

This Wang Shouzhe's ability to pour ecstasy soup is really not small.

But that was the end of the matter, and she had no other choice.Fortunately, there is a spiritual contract between Yu Wenshi and the ancestor of Firefox, otherwise, I am really afraid that the ancestor of Firefox will be hooked up by him.

"Ancestor Huohu wants to visit the Wang family, of course it's all based on the ancestor's will, how can I stop it?" Mrs. Bilian knew the temper of the ancestor Huhu, so she had to coax her with a smile, "However, now The ancestor has just broken through, and it will take some time to consolidate his cultivation, so it is really not suitable to go out. Besides, it is a great joy for you to break through the seventh level. According to the rules, the clan needs to prepare a grand banquet for you, and invite all the big families to come Come on, you always have to show your face when the time comes."

Among the aristocratic families, as long as there is an ancestor who breaks through the realm, he must go through the process.

On the one hand, it is naturally for celebration, and on the other hand, it is also to spread the news widely and deter potential opponents.

The current situation of the Yuwen family can be said to be surrounded by a pack of wolves. It was hard for Firefox to be promoted from the six-tailed to the seven-tailed. Save a lot of trouble for Yu Wenshi.

Hearing what she said, the anger of the Seven-tailed Firefox dissipated a lot, and he reluctantly nodded: "All right~ Miss Ben will stay in Yuwen's for the time being, and go to play with Brother Shouzhe after her cultivation level is strengthened."

"Great~ Thank you, the ancestor of Firefox."

Madam Bilian breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly wiped off the cold sweat from her forehead.

Fortunately, although Auntie Huohu is headstrong and has a hot temper, she is more clear about big things, otherwise she really doesn't know how to persuade her.

At this time, Ji Mingyu, Yuwen Jianye and others also walked in from outside the Tianhu Pavilion, and a group of people made a fuss, let alone mentioning it for the time being.

At this time, the mission of Wang Shouzhe's trip was successfully completed.

Madam Bilian asked for two trays, one of which contained a stack of gold notes, as thick as a thumb, and the other contained a small jade box.

She signaled her servants to bring the gold ticket to Wang Shouzhe, and said, "Patriarch Shouzhe, this is the one hundred thousand dry gold promised to you. In addition, thanks to Patriarch Shouzhe's action, Patriarch Firefox was able to be promoted smoothly. I, Yuwen You can’t say nothing.”

As she spoke, she opened the jade box on another tray, and explained: "This Naling jade box contains some rare and special plant seeds that Yuwen has accidentally collected over the years. Some of them are from Outland, Linjun, There are foreign countries, and some are found from the ruins, each of which is introduced in detail. Knowing that Patriarch Shouzhe is a disciple of Master Changchun, there may be some of them that you can use."

Although she despises Wang Shouzhe for hooking up with the ancestor of Firefox, she also knows that she must not treat Wang Shouzhe with evil, but only with kindness.After all, the Wang family is not only full of potential, but also has a strong backing, and has an excellent relationship with the Academy, which is not something that ordinary families can afford to offend.

Wang Shouzhe's eyes lit up.

Although Wang's business has been booming in recent years and the profits are quite rich, one hundred thousand dry gold is still a large amount, not to mention that the family needs money everywhere, and they can't save too much savings.

Coming to Yuwen's, he earned so much easily, so he is naturally in a good mood.

And these seeds are even more unexpected joy.

You must know that for those Xuanwu monks who major in wood-type exercises, special plant seeds often mean more changeable tactics.

Over the years, he has been paying attention to collecting special plants and cultivating them, and this is how the "Witch Series" and iron python vines and other fighting things come into being.

But with the efforts of Wang's family, the plant species that can be found are limited.

The plants that can be leaked from the academy are almost all searched by him. Now the master of Changchun basically hides when he sees him, for fear that he will want those plants that the academy can't disclose.

Speaking of him, Wang Shouzhe, he hasn't collected new plants for a long time.

Mrs. Bilian's seeds can be said to have been sent to his heart.

After all, the Yuwen family is a big family that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the plants that can be specially collected and preserved by them must have something special.As long as there is one of these seeds that he can use, it will increase his combat effectiveness.

It has to be said that Mrs. Bilian deserves to be a strong woman who can take orders when Yuwen's family is in danger and support the family with her own strength. This gift of thanks alone is enough to show her exquisite mind.

Although sometimes this woman's thoughts are quite weird and weird, sometimes Wang Shouzhe can't figure out what she is thinking.But in the end, this woman is still majestic!

"My lady has a heart~"

Wang Shouzhe thanked Mrs. Bilian for her kindness, and happily put away the Naling jade box and the gold ticket.Can he be unhappy?This "simple" mission has really benefited him a lot.Not only these harvest issues, but also the promotion of the bloodline has reached the third peak, and the "friendship" of the seven-tailed Firefox has also been harvested, which will also be a great support in the future.

For Wang Shouzhe, the more such simple tasks, the better.

After the payment was settled, Wang Shouzhe lived in the Yuwen Clan for a few more days, and accompanied by members of the Yuwen Clan, he tasted all the delicacies of Xinchengwei, and then he set foot on the way home contentedly.He is also a little bit like an arrow, after all, as the head of the family, he is not at ease after leaving the family for too long.

……

Almost at the same time.

Changningwei, Ping'an Town.

The rugged Liuping Mountain is like a huge crouching dragon, crossing from the south of Ping'an Town, obliquely crossing Anjiang, separating the entire Ping'an Town from the rolling mountains south of Anjiang.

At this time, summer is about to enter outside the mountain, but spring is just right in the mountain.All kinds of mountain flowers are in full bloom, adding a few touches of colorful embellishment to the rolling mountains. Looking down from above, it seems that a colorful canvas has been spread out, which is too beautiful to behold.

But under this canvas, it is not completely safe, but an unknown crisis lurks.

At this moment, in the remaining veins of Liuping Mountain with complex terrain, there is a team of more than ten people exploring the mountain.

Some common pack animals such as pack horses and cattle are useless in the complex environment of the mountains.Therefore, in this team, the tool beast responsible for carrying some belongings is a goat-like creature called pan-horned pack sheep.

They are good at climbing the cliffs of jagged rocks, and they walk on the rugged mountain roads like walking on the ground. They are good partners domesticated by the wild mountain people for a long time, and they can help humans carry a small amount of food in the mountains. supplies.

The surrounding areas of the Changning Wang family are mostly hills and mountains, and the periphery is the long and steep Liuping Mountain.Therefore, the Wang family of Changning brought in a batch of pan-horned pack sheep through their own ranch channels, which were specially used to explore and inspect the surrounding mountains.

The remaining veins of Liuping Mountain are towering and steep, among which there are countless canyons and ravines.Even if the Wang family has been stationed in Ping'an Town for 200 years, they still cannot penetrate deep into the complex mountains.

But this work must be done.

If you can't map out all the surrounding mountain environment maps, wipe out some remaining beasts or other hidden dangers.Those are invisible landmines, and God knows that they will explode suddenly in the Year of the Monkey.

Especially after the beast disaster that year, many ferocious beasts fled to the depths of the surrounding mountains.In the past six to seventy years, from time to time, first- and second-tier ferocious beasts have been discovered around Ping'an Town, and there have been vicious incidents of biting or even killing humans and animals.

Therefore, the Wang family, which was gradually becoming stronger, decided to allocate part of its manpower and material resources ten years ago to wipe out the "snakes, insects, rats and ants" in the "yard", and drew a detailed mountain map and various special locations. .

The so-called special places include some miniature or small spiritual veins, mineral deposits, special medicinal materials, natural materials and earth treasures, or some valleys that can barely be cultivated, but the cultivation will be very laborious, etc.

nearly ten years.

Mrs. Wang is constantly "clearing the fog" in the surrounding mountains. About [-]% of the overall work has been carried out, and some special places have been discovered one after another, and they have been marked on the map one by one. It will be included in the family's development plan.

Because the Changning Wang family implements the family contribution value system, the contribution system has been continuously improved and perfected with the passage of time.Therefore, these exploration and inspection missions, which are not very dangerous but have a good contribution value, are deeply loved by the younger generation of the family.

If one is lucky enough to discover some precious mineral deposits or small spiritual veins, one will be rewarded with a large amount of contribution points.

The only regret for the younger generation is that only those clansmen who are over 16 years old, or those who have reached the Lingtai stage under the age of 16, are allowed to accept the task of "clearing the fog in the surrounding environment" after receiving relevant education and examinations. ".

What the younger generation of the Wang family didn't know was that it was the head of the family, Wang Shouzhe, who strongly joined in on this restriction.The reason is also very simple, to prevent some idiots like the eldest niece Wang Lici from appearing in the family, eating whatever they catch.It's fine to eat indiscriminately by yourself, and bring it back to feed the children indiscriminately.

Although that incident made several children a blessing in disguise.But reckless behavior is reckless behavior, you can't benefit from one reckless behavior, and reckless behavior is not reckless behavior.

The Wang family in Changning didn't have a lot of people, but after a while, the younger generation got a little prosperous. Wang Shouzhe was counting on them to work hard to reproduce and add more people for the rise of the Wang family.

If one is lost for no reason now, doesn't it mean that hundreds of thousands of tribesmen will be lost in a thousand years?

Therefore, this exploration team is the team led by the younger generation of the Wang family, and there is also a team of family members accompanying them.

"Zong Yao." A young man in a black suit with a sword hanging from his waist, with stern eyebrows and bright eyes, said with a tired face and frowning, "We have been exploring for several days, are you really sure that this area Are there traces of the second-order peak red scale horned python in the area?"

"Uncle Eight." The young man named Zong Yao replied respectfully, "Last time, several generals and I lost our way, and accidentally found a group of snake sloughs in this unexplored area. After going back for identification , found that it was the snake slough of the red-scaled horned python, and based on the known information, it can be inferred that its realm is around the peak of the second order."

These two good-looking, heroic young men are Wang Zongyao, the eighth generation of the Changning Wang family, and the fourth, and Wang Shouming, the eighth generation of the seventh generation.

In terms of age, Wang Zongyao is already 20 years old, one year older than Wang Shouming.

The once ignorant children, the naughty troublemakers in the ethnology, have now grown into the leaders of the younger generation of the Wang family, and have begun to contribute to the development of the Changning Wang family.

"Zong Yao, I didn't mean to question your inference." Wang Shouming said slightly worried, "This time we took over the exploration task in this area, but we spent a lot of money and hired a group of people including Brother Hu. Well, I also rented ten "Panjiao Pack Sheep" and rented a low-grade storage ring from the family's Treasure Pavilion. All kinds of supplies can support ten days of consumption. If there is no harvest, we will be at a loss .”

"Brother, I know you are anxious about the 'snake gall' of the red scale horned python." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who was dressed in a heroic appearance said, "However, Zong Yao has been mature and stable since he was a child, and he dare not say what he inferred. Yes, but there will always be [-]% or [-]%. Don’t worry, the place where the red-scaled horned python lives, most of them have earth fire or fire-type spiritual veins. If we really find the fire-type spiritual veins for us, the previous investment will be a hundred times return."

This beautiful and heroic girl is none other than Wang Luoqing, the old ninth king of Wang's Luo generation.Like Wang Shouming, she is the second son and daughter of Wang Dinghai, the eldest son of the Dingzi generation.

Nowadays, the younger generation of the Wang family, because the family is strong and has abundant resources, no matter the education or resources they received since childhood, they are not comparable to those of Wang Luotong and Wang Shounuo in those days.

Even if it is not the direct lineage but the direct lineage, the resources they enjoy are far stronger than the direct lineage spiritual platform species of ordinary ninth-rank aristocratic families.

As a result, the younger generation in the family has developed quite well.Wang Zongyao is only 20 years old, but he has already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, and the profound energy cultivated by Xuan Yuan Jue is strong and solid.

Although Wang Shouming was only at the peak of the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, it was because he successfully matched the fire-type high-grade kung fu "Red Dragon True Art" in his early years, and thus modified "Red Dragon True Art", which caused his cultivation speed to be a little slower.

But purely in terms of combat effectiveness, Wang Shouming, who practiced the Chilong Zhenjue, was a bit more domineering and powerful.

Even Wang Luoqing, who is a daughter, has also practiced a middle-grade earth-type kung fu "Dixuan Jue" that can directly point to the realm of heaven and man. This kung fu is not strong at the beginning, but the more you practice it, the more mysterious it becomes. Not only is it amazing in defense, but it also has the ability to change the terrain.

In fact, if it wasn't for pursuing the way of the Purple Mansion, some exercises that matched him would be more suitable.It is impossible for everyone in the Wang family to follow the path of the Purple Mansion. Without the qualifications, they can't afford it.

How can Wang Shouzhe and the others compare with such favorable conditions when they were young?

In addition to Wang Luoqing, there is also a young lady from the Li generation of the Wang family in the team, that is the fourth Wang Lilian of the Li generation.

She is currently at the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm, although her cultivation base is not top-notch among the younger generation of the Wang family, she is comparable to Wang Shouzhe who just passed through.

She also participated in the discussion and said: "The family arranges these 'exploring the fog' tasks mainly to train us. When going out, you must first think that you will get nothing, so as not to be disappointed."

"Compared to this task, I am more worried about Sister Liyao. It has been two or three months since she went to the academy, and she must have already enrolled. Sister Liyao has always been very stubborn. For us to win, she caused a lot of trouble. I hope she will go well in the academy and not be bullied by some bad guys."

These young people from the Wang family are all about seventeen, eighteen or nineteen years old, and they all grew up in the academy with Wang Liyao.We used to get into trouble together, and we were punished together, and we have very deep feelings for each other.

On the contrary, Luo Qiu, Luo Jing, and Wang Lici were much older, and they left the family early to go to the academy, so their relationship with each other was a little strange.

When it comes to Luo Qiu Luojing and the others, these young people are more in awe and admiration.

As soon as Wang Liyao was mentioned, several young people also began to discuss, but most of them thought that Liyao would not suffer in the academy.Not to mention her personal strength, it has reached the level where her peers can't even look up to her clearly.

It's just that it's not that the Wang family has no footsteps in the academy, and it's definitely not that easy to bully.

"Calculate the time." Wang Shouming said, "fourth brother sent Liyao to the academy, and he should be back soon. Let's work harder, and hope this time we can explore a fire-type spiritual vein, so that fourth brother Happy happy."

When Wang Shouzhe was mentioned, several young people showed expressions of admiration and excitement.The fourth brother/uncle is a legend of the Wang family.It was he who led the declining family step by step to bring the family to where it is today.

Although in the family, there is currently only one ancestor of Longyan who is in the realm of heaven and man.But now, any seventh-rank family in the Southern Six Guards of Longzuo County dare not underestimate the newly promoted Changning Wang family.

The young people of the Wang family continued to invest in the arduous and boring process of exploration with a little excitement.The mountain roads that have not been explored for many years are rugged and dangerous, and the mountains are often stacked, or the road is broken due to the overgrown old trees.Even if they are well-cultivated, they have to be more careful.

It was a few days later.

This mountainous area was extremely desolate and terrifying. They lost three pan-horned pack sheep and some supplies one after another.If he hadn't rented a storage ring before going out, he might be short of supplies now, so he could only retreat the same way and accept the loss.

Suddenly!

Wang Shouming, who practiced the fire-type kung fu "Red Dragon Truth", said with a smile on his face, "I smell a fiery breath. The temperature in this area is rising in that direction."

When the temperature changes regionally, there are several situations in total.Either it is the place where the earth fire leaks out, or it is the fire-type spiritual veins, or more extreme, there may be some fire-type heavenly materials and earthly treasures landing here.Of course, the most unlucky thing is that there is an extra high-level beast here.However, this area is close to the human gathering area. Under normal circumstances, the intelligence of the fifth-order fierce beasts is not low. There are no special circumstances. The farther they are from the human gathering area, the better.

"Sister." Wang Shouming said to Wang Luoqing, "It's up to you."

"En!" Wang Luoqing took out a bead exuding earth-colored brilliance, and performed the "Dixuan Jue" technique. After the earth-colored bead fell to the ground, it shone brightly, and some soil and rocks gathered towards the earth bead like flowing water. and go.

Wang Luoqing kept pouring in the earth-type profound energy, and soon she was sweating profusely. After she finished her work, the earth-colored beads were the core of those earth-colored rocks, and turned into a small three-foot-tall earth puppet. It was a bit stupid, It doesn't seem very intelligent.

But even this little clay puppet still aroused the envy of Wang Shouming, Wang Zongyao, and Wang Lilian.Luo Qing's little spirit treasure is called "Earth Spirit Bead".

This was not exchanged by her own contribution points, but a gift from her eldest brother Wang Shouye.Wang Shouye is a clan member who accepted the inheritance of alchemy, and he can save a lot of family contribution points every year.

Seeing that there was such a nice earth-type Little Spirit Treasure in the family's treasury, he exchanged it for his younger sister Wang Luoqing.Don't underestimate this "Earth Spirit Orb". Although it can only summon an earth puppet equivalent to the peak of Qi Refining Realm in the end, it still needs to cost more than 5 merit points.

Except for the elders, it is the "trench" like Wang Shouye who can afford it.

It is said that Wang Lici, who hadn't returned home for a long time, sent this "earth spirit pearl" to the academy, and Wang Zongsheng from the academy sent it back.God knows where Wang Lici got this thing?

This little spirit treasure is very useful. Some practitioners of earth-type profound kung fu can urge it to transform into an earth puppet. Although its combat power and intelligence are worrying, it is most suitable for carrying coolies, or exploring the way in dangerous areas.

Of course, Wang Luoqing's current cultivation base is still very low, and the clay puppet that was catalyzed is very weak, that is, it can be used to explore the way.

Wang Luoqing took a short rest, and then began to direct the small clay puppets to move forward.The soil puppet is not big, but it makes a lot of noise, and it is very eye-catching when it walks.

After a full hundred feet, she was almost unable to sense the earth spirit bead, so she let it stop.

Leaving two family generals to guard Panjiao's sheep and luggage, everyone carefully followed the direction of the puppet.But after they were more than ten feet away from the puppet, they stopped again, waiting for the puppet to continue exploring.

This went on and on again, and another half a day passed.

Everyone has entered a scorching hot place, where many common plants have disappeared, and only some highly heat-resistant weeds barely survive.

"This..." Wang Shouming observed some landforms and found some solidified magma stones. He was slightly disappointed and said: "It seems that it is not a fire-type spiritual vein, but a place where earth fire leaks. I hope to find some valuable Treasures of heaven and earth."

"Be careful! The earth puppet is broken."

Wang Luoqing's pretty face changed slightly: "It moves so fast, it doesn't feel like a second-order..."

Doesn't look like the second order?Isn't that Tier [-]?

The young people of the Wang family immediately looked serious and waited for it.Although Wang Shouming was not the oldest, he was senior and took the command: "Brother Hu, you and the generals will form an formation first."

The family general named Brother Hu is the son of Wang Zhong, the family general passed down from generation to generation by the Wang family—Wang Hu, one of the family generals that the family focuses on training.He is now 30 years old, and his strength has reached the peak of the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm. He drew out his sword and shield, and said with a steady look in his eyes: "Form the formation!"

A group of young and vigorous generals formed a battle formation with Wang Hu as the center.The front row is a shield, and the back row is a strong bow.

At the same time, the Wang family also took out their strong bows, and each of them held their breath and concentrated their formulas, preparing for the next fierce battle.

Just when they were ready, suddenly, a red "flame" rushed over with great agility, accompanied by a foul-smelling wind.

"It's a third-order red scale horned python!"

"Everyone be careful."
