As a result, before they had finished lunch, someone was guided to them by the waiter. It is said that Mei Shanling planned to summon them.
If the immediate boss wanted to see them, how could he not?
Qingjin and others quickly tidied themselves up and followed the visitor towards the county magistrate's residence.
Mei Shanling is a talkative man in his thirties. He has ancient facial features, a tall figure, and a rather elegant temperament.
He is a Taoist official, so the regular clothes he wears when meeting guests are also Taoist robes. Wearing a black Taoist robe with silver patterns, Meishan Ling looks very majestic. However, his attitude in entertaining Qingjin and the others was very cordial.
"You may not know much about the situation when you first come here. In the Coiled Snake Territory, the land reclamation corps has cleared the ferocious beasts and large beasts there several times. However, there is a particularly vast lake on the top of the mountain. Those aquatic ferocious beasts only need to sink. If they enter the deep lake, then no one can do anything about them.
Six of you have run Coiled Snake Territory before. It's a pity that they are all dead. The deaths were inexplicable, and my people only went to the Coiled Snake Territory to check after losing contact with them. Sometimes they could find broken bones, and sometimes they couldn't even find the body.
It's simply incomprehensible. "
Qingjin and others all gasped after hearing this. Even Mei Shan Ling didn't know who the murderer was. Could it be that Coiling Snake Territory is really a dangerous place?
"But I see that after you settled down, you managed the territory well, catching fish and harvesting ninth-level spiritual treasures." Mei Shanling's tone changed again.
"We are just having a little fun on the shore, but we don't dare to go down to the lake to catch fish. Who knows what kind of monsters there are in the lake?" Qingjin said hurriedly, "And if your father says this, we will not dare to explore the snake easily. Got it." He added with a wry smile.
"You are just making a small fuss on the shore, and you can achieve such a harvest, which is much better than other surrounding territories." Mei Shan ordered.
"It's just because it's close to the big lake and the geographical location is favorable. Even the small fruits found were accidentally discovered during the land reclamation." Qing Jin explained the appearance of the ninth-order Lingzhen.
Although Lingzhen is not very easy to find in the Eastern Wasteland, it is easy to appear when clearing the wasteland.
Of course, the territory is newly opened, and the dangers are far beyond ordinary.
"For those fruits, we injured a few people. One of the monks injured his waist, and we specially sent him to see a doctor in Meishan." Qingqing echoed his brother at this time.
"I see. That place in the Coiled Snake Territory is indeed dangerous. You should also pay more attention to precautions in the future. In fact, there are not only ferocious beasts there. Sky ghosts and wind-catching men and horses have also appeared in our Meishan territory recently. The surrounding territories There are frequent warnings, and one territory was almost attacked by a bandit." The implication of Mei Shanling's words is that you should be careful wherever you go.
Qingjin quickly held up her hands and thanked her.
"In addition to those notorious thieves, you also need to take a look at the outlaws and cult forces in Meishan. Especially the cult forces. They are short of money and blood animals for sacrifice. No matter how you look at your new territory, they are all A good target."
Qingjin and others' expressions suddenly changed.
Because the human race is weak, there are so many cults with different beliefs and beliefs.
They do like to hunt living people as blood animals in the fringe areas of Taoist power. Therefore, they must be extra careful in dealing with these crises from their fellow humans in the future.
"If you still have harvests of various ferocious fish after you go back, you might as well send them to the post station. The post manager there is mine, and he will not treat you badly in terms of the purchase price." Mei Shanling finally handed over his mail Yi recommended it.
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, sir. If there is another harvest of vicious fish in the future, I will definitely send it to the inn." Qing Jin said.
Finally, Mei Shanling asked about brother Qingjin's family background and the situation of his relatives at home. The two sides chatted for a while, and Mei Shanling wanted to serve tea to see off the guests, so Qingjin and others hurriedly left.
After Qingjin and the others left, the postman who had been in contact with Qingjin and the others at the inn walked in from the secret room door of Mei Shanling's study wearing an official robe.
"What do you think of these Shen brothers?" The postman boy changed his demeanor and sat on the main seat like a superior. On the contrary, Mei Shanling stood beside him respectfully.
"I feel a little lucky." Mei Shanling said impressively.
"The Coiled Snake Territory is like a bottomless pit. Everyone keeps adding more money into it, but no one can see clearly what's inside. Six lords have died miserably, and all humans in the entire territory have died.
Even foundation building and golden elixirs are hard to escape. I don't believe it if there is nothing in it. But I don't plan to send any more of my own people in. It’s too much to sacrifice. Last time I lost a confidant, two golden elixirs, and six foundations. "
Mei Shanling looked strange and did not dare to say anything at this time.
"Now someone has sent the Shen brothers and sisters. I just want to lend their hands to help us find out what is going on with this coiled snake leader." The postman said.
…
When Qinghu woke up from her nap, she heard that something big had happened in the lake. It seemed like something was fighting.
After Qinghu freshened up, she quickly picked up her skirt and rushed to the lake. In the middle of the lake in the distance, there were indeed huge things fighting. They either flew up with their tails, or stretched out their big paws to hit the water surface with a loud splash.
Qinghu used her spiritual mind to sense it, and found that a scaled ancient crocodile was fighting with a huge turquoise winning fish.
When the sixth-level scale-armored ancient crocodile fights against the seventh-level crocodile Yingyu, the scale-armored ancient crocodile, which is one level higher than the opponent, should have the upper hand, but in fact, it is Yingyu who treats the ancient crocodile as prey. They are both similar in size, nearly ten meters long. The ancient crocodile was even thicker than the winning fish.
However, Yingyu can fly. It has wings and is much more flexible than the ancient crocodile, whether in the sky or underwater.
The whole battle was about Winning Fish teasing the ancient crocodile, and in the end, with a decisive blow, he bit the ancient crocodile's neck with a bang, biting his neck off. The cry of the ancient crocodile when it was about to die was extremely aggrieved and miserable.
Yingyu hunted the ancient crocodile and immediately dragged its body and disappeared into the depths of the lake. Qinghu thought that it was over like this.
But before she could turn around and go back to the village, an idea came to her ears.
"Sir, did you pass by this place by chance, or are you planning to open a cave temple here?" It turned out to be the voice of a soft and clear young woman.
"Who are you?"
"I am the winning fish who just hunted that scaly ancient crocodile that crossed the border."
Qing Xiaohu immediately realized that this was a wise fish, commonly known as the fairy fish.
"Are you a monster fish?"
