Tianbei County is located in the northernmost corner of Ye Country.
Passing through the large Gobi Desert where the Return Wind Valley is located, we entered the territory of Tianbei County. In Tianbei County, the sky is filled with yellow sand in summer, and even a touch of green is extremely rare. In winter, it is covered with snow, and it is even harder to see any life. As for spring and autumn, , seems to have never arrived in Tianbei County.
In such a bitter and cold place, even though it has a radius of more than 8,000 miles, there are only a few hundred thousand people, and they all exist in the form of tribes in the county. The larger tribes have tens of thousands, and the smaller tribes only have a few hundred people, and In every tribe, there is still a legacy of witchcraft and Gu.
Jiuzhai Hanshan City is located on the western edge of Tianbei County. The bitter cold land among the bitter cold places is where Hanshan City is located.
Outside Hanshan City, ordinary people cannot survive. Only monks or barbarians who are proficient in witchcraft and poison can withstand the severe cold and survive. As for Hanshan City, there are more than 50,000 ordinary people. There are more than 50,000 ordinary people who belong to nine tribes: Yun, Xu, Feng, Yan, Bi, Xiao, Bao, Zong, and Yin. These are the nine villages.
Jiuzhai Hanshan City is named after it.
At this time, the severe cold of winter has arrived. More than ten miles away from the side of Hanshan City, in front of a place shrouded in a red formation light curtain, more than a hundred monks and dozens of barbarians from the Nine Villages gathered.
Most of these monks' cultivation levels are very low, and they are wandering up and down the second level of Qi Refining. Among the three leaders, two are at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and one is at the eighth level.
These monks are dressed normally, and most of them also have storage bags on their waists. The dozens of barbarians on the side look very strange. Each of these barbarians is extremely tall, and the shortest one is nearly ten feet tall. , both were naked from the waist up, covered with black tattoos, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying.
"When will your new manager arrive? If Hanshan City's formation fails, you know what the consequences will be!"
The leader of the group of monks spoke with his spiritual consciousness and roared loudly at the vaguely visible figure in the red formation in front.
"These barbarians! It's so abominable that they dare to block the door of our Xianhe Sect disciples. Without the protection of our Xianhe Sect, those members of their clan would have been frozen to pieces!"
Within the red formation, Deputy Manager Zhao was lying on the rocking chair, looking at the group of people gathered outside in the ice and snow as if watching a show, and cursed angrily.
"Brother, they are barbarians after all."
The somewhat pretty female disciple of the Xianhe Sect on the side handed over a purple jade grape that contained a weak aura.
Deputy Manager Zhao raised his head and took advantage of the situation to take the female disciple's finger in his mouth, with a lewd smile on his face.
The two exchanged glances for a while.
Deputy Manager Zhao sat back on the rocking chair with the purple jade grape in his mouth contentedly: "The unlucky guy who came to top the tank is said to be a newly promoted deacon disciple at the fifth level of Qi Refining. He is really unlucky..."
As he spoke, he also responded with his spiritual consciousness.
"Don't be anxious, everyone! The manager of my Xianhe Sect will arrive in the near future, and I will definitely give you an explanation then!"
His somewhat sincere voice resounded outside the red formation barrier, in the ears of the hundreds of monks and dozens of barbarians.
…
"The slower we go to Hanshan City, the better."
On the back of the Dragon Back Goshawk, a tidal wave of spiritual light surged around Gu Qing's body, and he held his last piece of water spiritual sand in his hand.
He had set out a few days ago, but he did not use the Thousand Miles Talisman to travel.
The Thousand Miles Divine Traveling Talisman is a first-grade high-grade spiritual talisman and is worth a lot of money. How can it be used to travel? If things go wrong in Hanshan City in the future, he might need it to escape.
"The Dragon-backed Goshawk travels two thousand miles a day, which is still a little too fast."
Gu Qing opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
His eyes scanned the vast Gobi desert below.
At this time, Gu Qing was still in the sky above the Gobi near Huifeng Valley. It was located in Tianfeng County near Tianbei County in Ye Kingdom. When mentioning Tianfeng County, it was obviously not as famous as Huifeng Valley. Therefore, few people mentioned this name. Even the people in the county below did not know that they were from Tianfeng County. They only knew that they were from Ye Country.
Returning to the hundreds-mile sandstorm layer in the Return Wind Valley, he consumed a hundred-mile divine walking talisman that he drew on his own and successfully passed through it.
"Hanshan City is still more than 8,000 miles away from here. In other words, if you ride the Dragon-backed Goshawk and travel day and night, you can get there in just two days and two nights." Gu Qing thought of the complicated situation in Tianbei County, and Harsh environment and a lot of troubles in Jiuzhai Hanshan City.
With a slight thought in his mind, he caused the Dragon-backed Goshawk to land on a mountain dozens of miles outside the city, and took a moment to look around.
"There is an aura of a first-order monster beast nearby."
Gu Qing's eyes lit up.
He put away the dragon-backed goshawk and headed towards the simple city. He soon entered the city, but saw that many places on the street were in a mess. It looked like it had been ravaged by some giant beast. Every house was closed, and the streets on both sides were in shambles. Most of the undamaged shops were closed, and the occasional pedestrians on the street were listless. He walked into a deserted wine shop and handed the dozing waiter a tael of silver, and as expected he found out some different news.
"That guy was a big man, even if three people hugged him, he wasn't that thick! He ate my uncle in one bite, and blood spurted all over us. Now that I think about it, my heels are trembling..."
The waiter spoke with a slight accent and was frothing.
"What? There are monsters like this harming people!"
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and the waiter felt that the person in front of him was surrounded by white light, and his jaw almost dropped in shock.
"I am the deacon disciple of the Xianhe sect who rushed to Hanshan City. I will definitely get rid of this harm for you today!" Gu Qing put his big hand on the waiter's shoulder. The waiter felt warm on his body, and the fear that had just appeared disappeared instantly. He asked, "Where is the large open space in your city?"
When going out, it is most taboo to use your spiritual consciousness to scan the mortal city.
It's unclear which old monster living in seclusion here was swept by his spiritual consciousness and was swatted to death like a fly.
The waiter was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time he responded calmly: "This... is the biggest yard of the city lord's old man."
"good."
Gu Qing's figure swayed and he left the wine shop.
"I am the deacon disciple of the Xianhe sect who rushed to Hanshan City. I am here today to help you get rid of the evil troubles! Please go to the city lord's mansion and tell me. I have magic skills to help you solve your troubles!"
He spoke with his spiritual consciousness, and his clear voice spread around, resounding in the ears of every citizen in the city.
"The immortals of the Xianhe sect have arrived! We are saved!"
"Quick, Erya, let's go to the city lord's mansion quickly..."
The people in the city suddenly became commotion.
"This... we haven't reported it yet, how come the immortal came so quickly!" In the back hall of the city lord's mansion, the gray-haired old city lord asked his concubine, who was more than forty years his junior.
"The Immortal has foresight, so he must have figured it out!"
His somewhat plump concubine responded.
…
With his sword above everyone's heads, Gu Qing crushed a piece of low-grade wood spirit stone, used his spiritual consciousness to capture the surrounding water vapor, and melted the pure wood spirit mist with the water vapor, turning it into white mist that covered the people below. Shrouded in white mist, this white mist has certain benefits for ordinary people. It can prolong life, cure diseases and strengthen the body.
Everyone who was shrouded in white mist felt comfortable and refreshed physically and mentally. It was like drinking jade dew at this moment.
"Sure enough, it's an immortal trick!"
"It's really amazing..."
"The Immortal is so beautiful!"
The people below made random remarks and immediately became chaotic.
Gu Qing stretched out his hand and pressed it, and suddenly there was silence below.
"Everyone, as a deacon disciple of the outer sect of the Xianhe Sect, I am going to kill the Shamang monster today. If I don't return in half a month, please spread the news so that my fellow sect can collect the bones." Gu Qingyi He said with a serious face. At this moment, everyone felt that the words of the 'immortal' were imprinted in their hearts, and they were all moved to tears.
After everyone wiped away their tears, they looked up again and saw a bright white light above them, and soon the immortal's figure disappeared.
…
Gu Qing came outside the city, stretched out his hand to catch a trace of the remaining aura of the monster beast, and after a slight identification, his eyes flashed.
"The aura of this first-level monster is so obvious, which shows that its spiritual intelligence has not yet fully developed, and it should have only become a first-order monster in recent years." Gu Qing's heart moved slightly, following the aura of that first-level monster, he came soon Arrive in front of a cliff standing in the Gobi Desert.
This cliff is riddled with holes, and there are hundreds of densely packed caves. Gu Qing's consciousness condensed into hundreds of strands and he penetrated into each of them.
The interior of the cliff extends in all directions, with caves intersecting and connecting, leading to the underground. There is a very wide cave more than fifty feet underground, with a gray-white sand field more than ten meters long. With his eyes closed, he seems to be resting. As soon as Gu Qing's consciousness touches it, I avoided this sand mango without waking it up.
"Such a huge Sha Mang..."
Gu Qing pondered.
His consciousness was focused on Sha Mang's side, on a pool of stalactites in the cave. The milky white stalactites in this pool exuded pure water aura. He estimated that these stalactites should be hundreds of years old. , the value of this pool is not too high, but it can still be worth thirty or fifty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. Add in the skin and tendons of Sha Mang, and the python gallbladder, and the harvest in one pot can also be worth more than eighty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. stone.
Well, it is equivalent to a good low-grade magic weapon!
He swayed and entered the cave.
It turned into a ball of white air and silently came to Sha Mang's huge body. Gu Qing's consciousness condensed into filaments and rushed into the top of Sha Mang's head. Sha Mang's pure black eyes suddenly opened and let out a sound. With a shrill roar, his figure twisted crazily towards Gu Qing, but he was bounced away as if he had hit an invisible tough barrier.
Not long after, Sha Mang's figure twitched, and his soul was completely shattered.
Then Gu Qing took out the metal flying sword, a medium-grade magic weapon, and injected it with spiritual power. The flying sword soon became as small as a dagger. He carefully peeled off the python skin, nodded with satisfaction at the good-quality python skin, and then removed the python. Take out the bile, pull out the python tendons, and put them into the storage bag together.
Next, he raised the bell magic weapon on his waist and released the dragon-backed goshawk. The dragon-backed goshawk was a little dazed when it came out, but when it saw the delicious python meat on the ground, its sharp eyes were filled with emotion. It was bloodshot, and then it rushed over with a chirp, eating crazily.
Gu Qing set up the streamer array, and regardless of the Dragon-backed Goshawk eating fiercely, he took off his clothes and sat down in the stalactite pool.
Stone stalactites are the condensed essence of heaven and earth. They have various functions such as nourishing the soul, tempering the body, refining spiritual power, etc. If the year reaches a thousand years, it will have a magical effect of extending life.
Although the stalactite in this pool is only a hundred years old, it is perfect for Gu Qing, who is depleted of essence and blood, has weak spiritual power, and has just recovered from his soul. His eyes are slightly closed, and the tidal aura slowly flickers, and at the same time as he breathes in and out, In his mind, he began to visualize a sleeping turtle the size of an island in the vast sea. As his cultivation gradually improved, ripples appeared in the stalactites of the pool, and they merged into Gu Qing's body.
After eating the delicious python meat on the ground, the Dragon-backed Goshawk stared at Gu Qing for a while, then closed its eyes and fell asleep.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
On this day, Gu Qing, who had improved slightly in cultivation, walked out of the cave. It was getting late outside, the sun was setting in the west, and the crimson-golden glow spread thousands of miles away, turning the small town in the distance into gold.
"This stalactite is used to restore depleted blood essence and refine spiritual power. It has such a miraculous effect. It's really unexpected."
Gu Qing was slightly surprised.
His previously depleted blood essence and empty spiritual power have completely returned to their peak state as the century-old stalactite in the pool turned into clear water. Even his spiritual power cultivation has been completely consolidated at the fifth level of Qi refining, within his body. The total amount of spiritual power increased by half.
With the practice of the visualization method, Gu Qing found that the power of his soul had become a little deeper.
And as the spirit turtle visualization method becomes more and more proficient, Gu Qing can restrain all his breath with just a thought. Even the movement of spiritual power in the body will become extremely slow, and even the heartbeat and the whole body will become more and more proficient. The blood flow will slow down to a certain extent.
In this state, he could feel that the power of his soul was growing at a slow but steady speed.
"The visualization method of Guishui Guiyi Gong is obviously much stronger than the visualization method of Jinyang Gong."
As soon as Gu Qing stepped on it, his figure turned into an extremely dazzling white light and reached the sky above the small town in the distance.
"Everyone, I am the deacon disciple of the Xianhe sect who rushed to Hanshan City. After luring Sha Mang away that day, I fought with him for more than ten days. Now I have finally removed him. You can rest assured!"
Gu Qing shined a bright white light in the sky above Xiaocheng, calculated a few times, repeated this sentence a dozen times, and then left.
…
Among the clouds in the sky, the dragon-backed goshawk chirped.
With Gu Qing on his back, his whole body shrouded in a faint white light, he continued to walk towards Jiuzhai Hanshan City.
As for when it will arrive...
God knows.
