95. Lost its owner 2/9
On the way back to North Wangshan, under Lin Xiu's calm performance, the infected Zhao Siming also recovered a little calmness, and then in a trembling tone, he shared the information he had tortured from those casual cultivators. .
"The group of casual cultivators are not monks from the southern region of the river, but from the leader of Suxuan in the north. It's not just these people. According to what those casual cultivators said, because they heard that the southern border of the river has lost its owner, many monks came Seek 'chance' across borders."
— has lost its owner.
What is the "lord" of Xinanling?
Except that He Guizong doesn't want to do it, in other words...
"Looking at his behavior and cultivation base, he is nothing more than a low-level monk in Suxuan's collar. What they understand may not be the truth."
Comforting Zhao Siming, the latter showed a forced smile on his face and stopped talking. After that, he was silent all the way until he rushed back to the spiritual mine in Beiwang Mountain.
As the highest cultivation base here and also the default principal, Lin Xiu immediately summoned the two disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall who had retreated after his return, and at the same time summoned all the servant disciples to start the meeting that was about to decide the future of everyone.
First, he used the shortest possible words to tell the information he got from that group of loose cultivators, which unsurprisingly caused a huge commotion.
"How is it possible, Zongmen can't be in trouble!"
"It must be the lies spread by those casual cultivators—"
"Brother Lin, what will happen to us?"
"My wife and daughter are still outside the sect..."
……
For a while, the different words and appeals of more than a dozen people made the mine a mess.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu clasped the Rongjin sword and swung it towards the wall on one side. With a sharp howling sound, the sword energy cut a dark red sword mark several meters long, and at the same time, a scorching breath spread to this place. In the originally cold and gloomy cave.
All of a sudden, all voices quieted down.
"I know what everyone is worried about, but as Junior Brother Zhang (disciple of the Foreign Affairs Hall) said, these words have not been confirmed, and they may just be the crazy words of those casual cultivators when they were dying. The most important thing now is to contact the sect .”
Speaking of which, Lin Xiu turned his gaze to Zhao Siming to the side: "Junior brother Zhao, how do you contact the sect on weekdays?"
"Contact... Okay, it seems that there is no contact?"
"No contact? Then how did the spirit stones collected here be sent back?"
Zhao Siming had a bitter face on his face: "Brother Lin doesn't know something. The spirit mine in Beiwang Mountain is small and of poor quality. In a year, only a few thousand spirit stones have been mined. It is not worth looking at because of the background of the sect. All of them were brought along by a fellow sect when he returned to the sect after his garrison period expired."
Hearing these words, Lin Xiu didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
Should we praise "a big dog"?Thousands of spirit stones are owed even the energy to look at them, and they are all "consciously" stationed by the disciples below, "consciously" mined, and then "consciously" brought back.
But when you think about the various exercises, pills, and practice that He Guizong treats his disciples with, it is not difficult to understand. Compared with the thousands of yuan and tens of thousands of one-time spiritual stone benefits, as He Guizong The long-term income of the disciples must exceed an order of magnitude.
The problem is that there is no way to contact the Zongmen after this, or is it necessary to take a huge risk and set off from Tu Country and rush all the way back to Heguizong?
According to what those casual cultivators said, after hearing about the changes in the Xinan Territory, a large number of monks from the Suxuan Territory broke in, and some of them with insufficient cultivation level joined together like them, and started the road of looting and searching for "opportunities" , and those monks who are high enough to cultivate or have enough confidence in themselves will go to the Nanling Mountains in twos and threes, which is where He Guizong is.
After all, in the eyes of the monks, compared to the poor mountains and remote places like Tuguo, as the most "rich and fertile" place in the south of the river, just picking one of the hundreds of spiritual veins under the Nanling Mountains can make them a lot of money .
Not to mention the He Guizong, which has a thousand-year heritage, as a dominant sect that has dominated the territory for thousands of years, even if it is just a casual leak, it is enough to attract countless people to sacrifice their lives.
In contrast, the only ones who would waste time in Tu Country at this time are those low-level casual cultivators.
Under such circumstances, Lin Xiu wanted to cross half of the south of the river to lead back to Heguizong. The risk during the period was definitely not as simple as encountering a few robbers in the Qi refining period. If he was unlucky, let alone the foundation building period, Even Jindan Daoist may not be impossible to bump into, so Lin Xiu chose to return to Beiwang Mountain after knowing this, instead of acting blindly.
But looking at it now, this Beiwang Mountain is more like a point of income that He Guizong accidentally dropped in Tuguo. The connection with the sect is not mentioned in the reports of the disciples, and there is nothing else at all. means.
Frowning, since this method doesn't work, Lin Xiu has to consider the risky method before, anyway, Lin Xiu has to go back to the clan, after all, Mr. Qian is still there.
At this moment, a hand tremblingly raised.
"I... I know how to contact Zongmen..."
Looking up, he saw a wrinkled face.
"The disciple accidentally heard a senior in the foundation period mentioned in the sect that the Hegui sect has set up 'sky survey mirrors' in all the countries in the south of the river. Once there is an evil cultivator, it can be detected immediately, and it can also be used as a It’s a way to communicate with the sect, but the disciples don’t know where the Sky Survey Mirror is…”
Just when the hope that had just surfaced was about to go out again, the other hand raised up: "The disciple knows!"
This time it was Junior Brother Zhang from the Foreign Affairs Hall who raised his hand: "Junior Brother heard from the Uncle of the Artifact Refining Pavilion before, saying that he had accepted the task of maintaining the sky survey mirror and was going to the capital of Tuguo, so he didn't have time to build magic weapons. , Brother Tie Ming should think of his own way to complete the forging of the Ziying Sword."
Wait, Ziying Sword?
Isn't that the "Dark Iron Sword" that Lin Xiu bought from Tie Ming for [-] spirit stones?At that time, it was said that it was refined by the master uncle in the foundation building period, so the price was a bit more expensive... Good guy, you are actually "killed"!
The corner of his eyes twitched, at this time Lin Xiu couldn't help but talk to that senior brother Tie again. Compared with this, the whereabouts of the sky survey mirror was more important, and he made a decision immediately: "Junior brother Zhao will follow me to the capital. Stay inside the Spirit Mine, and non-zongmen disciples are not allowed to enter!"
"Yes!"
A quarter of an hour later, two figures stepped on the magic weapon and rose from Beiwang Mountain, flying towards the southeast.
In this situation, it is indeed risky to use the method of "flying with a vehicle" to fly over Tuguo, but considering that the situation is too serious to be able to slowly drive on the ground, Lin Xiu chose to take the risk and took Zhao Siming Rush to the capital of Tuguo at the fastest speed.
However, they didn't encounter the magic weapon that came from the ground, but what they saw and heard on the way to the capital of Tuguo made the hearts of the two of them cold for the most part.
"...Junior Brother Zhao, I want to ask you something. Will the civil strife in Tu Country reach this level?"
"will not."
Zhao Siming's tone was clearly shaken: "This is not just a mortal war, it should be that monks are involved, and it is not even ruled out that there are evil cultivators who practice evil methods deliberately."
This conversation took place on a battlefield that had just ended. Looking down at the endless corpses under his feet, Lin Xiu felt an unknown fire in his heart, but it was quickly suppressed.
"Let's go to the capital."
In any case, the most important thing now is to find the Sky Survey Mirror and contact the Zongmen, otherwise no matter how much you do here, it won't help.
96. Slay evil 3/9
As the distance from Tuguo's capital continues to get closer, the population below is gradually getting denser. Considering that Zhao Siming is only at the seventh level of Qi training, and the flying height of the pilot is only controlled at 400 meters, some sharp-eyed people below can naturally After discovering the traces of the two "immortals", countless people along the way bowed down and knelt down, shouting for something, but at this moment, neither of them had time to take care of them until they were in a manor near the capital.
"what is that?"
Before Zhao Siming asked the question, Lin Xiu had already seen it.
Surrounding the manor, waves of thin black haze permeated and rose to a height of tens of meters, twisting and turning like living creatures, but there was a dead silence underneath.
Unlike Zhao Siming, who had a surprised expression, Lin Xiu recognized what those black hazes were at a glance.
Lin Xiu once saw similar things in Du's family in Qianguo. It was the aura emanating from monks who had practiced evil methods intercepted by the "Heavenly Sentence Formation Banner". The manor is so wrapped up that it's self-evident what's going on.
"Junior Brother Zhao, you continue to move forward."
"Senior Brother Lin?"
After crushing the flying direction of the golden sword, Lin Xiu flew towards the manor after leaving a sentence: "I'll go back as soon as I go."
……
Rationally speaking, the current behavior does not make much sense.
The root cause of all this is the change of He Guizong, as long as He Guizong is safe and sound, all this will naturally not happen, and once the worst situation really occurs, it will be meaningless no matter how much Lin Xiu does.
"The problem is that creatures like humans can't always survive rationally."
Facing the black mist in front of him, he swung the golden sword tightly clasped in his left hand fiercely forward.
In the sky more than 50 meters above the ground, a half-moon-shaped golden-red sword light flashed, and the next second, the condensed black mist boiled and dissipated, revealing the situation in the manor below.
An old man with a gloomy face holding a skull banner, two boys with fierce expressions beside him, and the weakened atmosphere in the manor house.
If it was a quarter of an hour slower, it would probably be too late.
Looking up at Lin Xiu, a monk who ruined his good deeds, the gloomy old man raised the black banner in his hand, and suddenly black skulls made of spiritual power rushed towards the direction where he leaped and fell.
——It is a big taboo to fight with "flying with a vehicle".
This point is clearly recorded in the method of "controlling flight", and it is also the first sentence of the opening chapter.
The reason is that monks in the Qi refining period have no spiritual consciousness, and cannot move and turn the magic weapon under their feet freely, so they can only go straight. There is no way to mobilize spiritual power to fight as if standing on the ground to maintain the magic weapon under your feet. That's why it is said that fighting skills is a taboo when "flying with the device".
Facing the oncoming skull, Lin Xiufu lowered his figure, clasped the Melting Gold Sword with one hand, and put the other hand on the scabbard of the Cracked Gold Sword under his feet.
Ten meters away, the sound of howling ghosts is ear-piercing
Five meters, the feeling of coldness invades
One meter, the breath of death is close at hand
It was also at this moment that Lin Xiu's right hand that was placed on the Cracking Gold Sword was pressed down hard, and the aura, the scabbard, and the sword intent - the three were linked together, and an order was completed.
Under the astonished gaze of the gloomy old man below, the monk who was supposed to be swallowed by the "Soul Devourer Skeleton" actually forcibly deflected the direction of the leap, from the direction that flew over his head directly to - hitting him?
The moment he realized this, the face of the gloomy old man changed drastically, and the boys with ferocious faces on both sides rushed up to do something, but before that, a golden red had already pierced through the remaining ten meters away, piercing through the gloomy old man's body. The back of the head sank more than ten meters into the ground, and the two boys with hideous faces also fell limply to the ground.
"rise--!"
When the cracked golden sword was about to hit the ground with him, Lin Xiu's right hand that was originally pressing on the scabbard was pulled forward violently, and the force of the original fall was forcibly pulled upwards at a height of less than five meters, avoiding This "plane crash and death" tragedy.
After regaining his stability, Lin Xiu first landed on the ground and retracted the cracked golden sword, and then picked up the Qiankun bag from the gloomy old man. After making sure that the people in the room were all right, he stepped on the cracked golden sword and set off again, chasing after Zhao Siming.
It's just that Lin Xiu, who left in a hurry, didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes quietly watching the whole process in the corner of the manor. After he left, he pushed away the cover on his body and ran staggeringly to the unconscious couple in the house. Beside young men and women, a childish voice called out: "Father~Mother~"
Compared with the entanglement and pulling in the arena, when the low-level monks are really facing life and death, a battle ends much faster than imagined.
It’s like modern warfare. My sword doesn’t need to be so sharp, as long as it can penetrate your defenses, it’s enough. Compared with the frail body of a monk, all kinds of magical weapons made of spiritual materials are simply not something that flesh and blood can resist. Just a little bit, even if you have dozens or hundreds of years of cultivation, it won't help, you still have to die.
The battle just now seemed easy, but in fact, the psychological confrontation and the preparation process in advance far exceeded the consumption of the battle. First, he used the melting gold sword to induce the sword energy to send out a powerful blow, causing the opponent to develop his own attack method, which is close The wrong judgment of the distance slash, after all, in terms of the attack distance of ordinary magic weapons, there is no need to get so close.
Then you can't fight when you use the "flying device" - the existing cognition in the world of cultivating immortals paralyzes the other party, making the gloomy old man think that Lin Xiu is a hot-headed orthodox monk, and the superior just made this kind of battle using the magic weapon for a while Then, just before the opponent's attack was about to hit, he poured spiritual power into the Golden Sword and threw it with all his strength.
Lin Xiu was convinced that the gloomy old man must have a defensive method, maybe it was a talisman, maybe a magic weapon, or the black banner was a combination of offense and defense, but as a result, he lost this opportunity.
Driven by the tenth level of qi training, the Rongjin sword was launched with all its strength, and its speed directly determined the outcome without even giving him a chance to regret it.
To be honest, there are both factors of strength and luck in this battle. Judging from the large-scale formation that the gloomy old man was able to use, even if it is not foundation building, it should be at the same level of perfection as Lin Xiu. It wasn't that the situation was so urgent, Lin Xiu didn't need to take the risk to set up a situation to kill, and let Ying, Ke Qing, and Gan Yu surround him directly, and the ending was also no suspense.
However, due to the situation, Lin Xiu could only take a risk. Fortunately, he succeeded. As for the failure... the big deal, let him evaluate the sword that has been hidden for ten years.
97. Go here, don't forget the way home 4/9
Relying on the tenth level of Qi training, Lin Xiu was able to quickly catch up with Zhao Siming after solving the gloomy Taoist priest. At the same time, the capital of Tuguo had also appeared in sight.
Lin Xiu heaved a sigh of relief after peeking at the stretch of buildings from a distance. Maybe there is some tacit understanding between the monks led by Su Xuan, or some reason that Lin Xiu doesn't know. As the country with the most dense population and the most prosperous There was no chaos in the capital city where demons danced wildly.
