Gu Qing stepped on the flying sword, a middle-grade water magic weapon, and shuttled between the clouds in the sky for a while, letting out a long roar.
The birds in front were frightened and quickly moved out of the way.
His hand brushed the beast-controlling bell on his waist, and the shadow of the dragon-backed goshawk emerged. It grew in the wind, and soon turned into a giant eagle with wings spread five or six feet. He jumped on the eagle's back, sat down cross-legged, and washed his whole body. With the body-protecting spiritual light, he placed the flying sword, a middle-grade water-attribute magic weapon, across his legs.
The dragon-backed goshawk chirped and flew away into the distance.
Sitting on the back of the Dragon-backed Goshawk, Gu Qing's eyes were filled with spiritual light. He looked at the middle-grade magic weapon Flying Sword lying across his legs. He brushed the storage bag on his waist and took out the middle-grade golden magic weapon. The weapon flies to the sword, and then uses the spiritual consciousness to mobilize the spiritual power, using it with two minds, and perform sacrifices separately.
…
After that, every time Gu Qing sensed that there were monsters causing trouble below, he would go down and gather the people first, and then carry out a high-profile "slaying the monsters", which took him nearly two months in Tianfeng County alone.
In addition to the gray-white sand python, Gu Qing also killed a sand salamander, a monitor lizard and a litter of four gerbils.
They are all first-level monsters. He does not have the same harvest as the century-old stalactites in the pool, but the fur, scales and claws of these monsters can be exchanged for more than two hundred low-grade spiritual stones. For an ordinary fifth-level Qi Refining monk, this was already a huge harvest, but for Gu Qing, it could only be said to be better than nothing.
What surprised Gu Qing was that the Dragon-backed Goshawk had become a lot closer to him since he found out that he had endless amounts of monster meat to eat.
On this day, it snowed heavily.
Standing on a hillside covered with half a foot of snow, Gu Qing looked ahead.
Tianbei County is already in sight.
He took out a detailed map of Ye Country.
This map was given as a gift when he purchased information from the Yunluan Sect's shop in the Huifeng Valley Cultivation Workshop.
"It's been almost two months. The situation in Hanshan City in Jiuzhaigou should have changed." Gu Qing put away the map and looked at the direction of Hanshan City in the distance. "It seems that I need to go and find out as a casual cultivator first. If If it’s really not good, just cross Tianbei County and enter the Beize Kingdoms.”
The Beize Kingdoms, adjacent to the Ye Kingdom, are a collective name for more than a dozen small countries. They are located in the Land of Decline. There are almost no monk families and immortal sects. The people are fierce and war-torn all the year round.
"If we enter the Beize Kingdoms, we can speed up the collection of remnant souls a lot. That is, the remnant souls of mortals can only be used to refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. And if all the remnant souls of mortals are used to refine the soul banner, the Hundred Soul Banner The banner requires the remnant soul of a monk in the middle stage of Qi refining as the main soul, and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner requires the remnant souls of ten monks in the Great Perfection stage of Qi refining as the main soul."
Gu Qing thought seriously for a while.
The Beize Kingdoms are indeed the best place to refine soul flags.
After all, those dozen small countries have been at war with each other all year round, and it is not uncommon for tens of thousands of people to die in a single battle.
Gu Qing flicked through the storage bag at his waist and took out a light red jade charm of warmth. This was the sound transmission jade charm given to him by Guo Zifeng. It had flashed a dozen times in the past two months.
But Gu Qing never cared.
At this moment, he took out the sound transmission jade talisman, looked into it with his spiritual consciousness, and Guo Zifeng's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
He frowned slightly, listened quietly for more than ten breaths, and then put away the sound transmission jade talisman. When Guo Zifeng contacted him, he simply told him that the sect was very dissatisfied with his actions of deliberately delaying time along the way. Sun Sheng even said that he would be expelled from the Ninth Peak.
But that's about it.
In the past two months, his high-profile "subduing demons and demons" has highlighted his presence, letting many ordinary people know that there is a deacon disciple of the Xianhe Sect, who is rushing to Hanshan City in Tianbei County, and also let everyone in the Xianhe Sect know. It turned out that he, the newly promoted disciple of the outer sect deacon, did not abscond. He only delayed some time in order to 'protect' many ordinary people.
How useful this will be is hard to say.
But Gu Qing's goal has been achieved.
In the past two months, he spent one and a half months to refine all five medium-grade flying swords, including wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, and also used the copper box that can emit spider silk. The weapon, as well as the elemental water black beads were completed, and in the remaining half of the month, most of the flying sword, a high-grade water attribute magic weapon purchased that day in the Huifeng Valley Cultivation Workshop, was sacrificed.
In four or five days, this flying sword, a high-grade water-attribute magic weapon named 'Lanjiang', will also be refined by Gu Qing.
"If I use this Lanjiang Flying Sword to perform the great Lotus Sword Technique, I don't know what kind of power it can achieve."
Gu Qing's heart moved slightly. He stepped on his foot and his whole body turned into a ball of white light rising into the sky. It broke through countless scattered snowflakes and reached the clouds. He stepped on a flying sword that was as thin as a cicada's wing and emitted a faint white light. It's the flying sword, a middle-grade water-attribute magical weapon.
"The name of this sword is Qiu Shui. Now it matches my aura, like an arm waving my fingers. It is the best quality among the five mid-grade magic weapons and the sword that suits me best. It is said that people have human nature and animals have animal nature." , the sword also has the nature of a sword, it can be called a sword bone, and the bones of this sword should be close to me." Gu Qing's consciousness wrapped around the flying sword at his feet, and raised the corner of his mouth.
He brushed the bell magic weapon on his waist and released the larger Dragon-backed Goshawk. With a long roar, he crossed over the Dragon-backed Goshawk and rushed towards Tianbei County where the white snowflakes were falling in front of him.
The Dragon-backed Goshawk chirped, its whole body glowed with a faint black and dark yellow luster, and it suddenly flapped its wings and chased after it.
Less than half an hour later, Gu Qing, who had flown hundreds of miles away, landed on the back of the Dragon-backed Goshawk. Looking at the giant eagle that showed no signs of fatigue, he stroked the soft feathers on its neck with affection.
It is indeed a bird and beast specially tamed for traveling.
Even if it keeps flying day and night, as long as there is enough food, the Dragon-backed Goshawk will not be exhausted.
In the vast snowy curtain, Gu Qing took off his gray clothes and casually dug into his storage bag to find an unworn black outfit. He quickly put it on, and then stood on the back of the Dragon's Back Goshawk with his hands behind his hands. On the ground, looking at the wind and snow receding on both sides, he let out a long whistle from time to time.
Less than half an hour later.
The Dragon-backed Goshawk landed on the vast snowfield. Gu Qing jumped off it and with a pop, most of his body was buried in the snow.
There was a bit of helplessness on his face.
Gu Qing discovered that he was lost.
The clouds in the sky were unknown how thick they were. After the Dragon-backed Goshawk could no longer move upward, he moved his sword upwards more than ten feet, reaching the highest point he could reach. If he went any higher, his body protection would be blown away by the strong wind. The spiritual light was swept away along with the flying sword. After the spiritual consciousness spread, there was still an endless thick cloud layer. In desperation, Gu Qing had to return to the ground temporarily.
His consciousness spread out five hundred feet carefully, and what he saw was still the same vast snowfield. There was only one piece of snow left between the sky and the earth. Gu Qing dug out the compass used to identify directions from a pile of debris in his storage bag, but he found that See the pointer on the compass rotating rapidly.
He looked at it for a few times and then threw the compass back into his storage bag.
The compass also failed.
Is Beijun so special today?
Those tribes who have lived here for generations do not know how to identify the direction. This is not recorded in the information given by the Yunluan Sect. Gu Qing glanced to the side unhappily. After such a short time, his whole body was covered with accumulation. Dragon-spine goshawk covered in snow.
Maybe he had never seen snow before. At this time, the silly eagle was playing with Gong Xue. Gu Qing took out a few large pieces of uneaten monster meat from his storage bag and threw it away.
Several large pieces of monster meat were stuck in the snow, but the Dragon-backed Goshawk's eating was not affected at all. It happily plunged into the snow, rolled and opened its beak, and swallowed the cold snow together. Gu Qing He looked up at the white sky above and fell into deep thought.
Why is Tianbei County so special?
It has been more than a month since winter began. It’s not that it hasn’t snowed in Tianfeng County, but it has never snowed so heavily.
Moreover, the snow in Tianfeng County always melts away quickly when it falls on the Gobi Desert. However, he had only penetrated a few hundred miles into Tianbei County at this moment, but the thickness of the snow was already almost up to his waist.
Gu Qing stood quietly for a while, then suddenly his expression changed slightly.
He turned his head and looked to a certain direction behind him, and when he looked over with his spiritual consciousness, he saw a group of bloated figures with wood splinters tied to their feet, gliding rapidly in the snow.
There are seven people in this team. The leader is very tall. In this ice and snow, he is wearing thin linen clothes. His exposed flesh is covered with black tattoos. His face is very green. Thin black air is vaguely visible.
"Silly bird, keep it for later."
Gu Qing's consciousness moved and he got out of the snow pile that was buried up to his neck. He stepped on the top layer of crystal snowflakes as lightly as a feather. He first put the dragon-backed goshawk back into the bell magic weapon, and then gnawed the few pieces. The remaining monster meat was put back into the storage bag on his waist.
He tapped his feet lightly, and suddenly it turned into white air and blended into the snow curtain.
…
In the wind and snow, a group of seven people were running quickly in the snow.
The leading man was extremely tall and strong, wearing a shabby single coat in the ice and snow, with a look of anxiety on his face: "Hurry up, hurry up! The Shi family is about to catch up!"
But even though he used his tall figure to block the oncoming wind and snow that could blow people away, the six people behind him tried their best to barely keep up with him.
The old man wrapped in thick cotton clothes and with a white beard who was at the end heard this and said in a muffled voice: "A'Gang, you don't have to worry about us old guys, just run for your life."
"no!"
Teng Gang drank decisively.
The other people were about to speak when they saw this, but there was a harsh sneer from behind that even the snow screen could not block.
"Ah!"
Before the sneer subsided, a shrill cry suddenly sounded out. In the dancing ice and snow behind, a white skeleton silhouette several feet high condensed out. As the white skeleton silhouette condensed, a surge of energy flowed out. A sudden suction force came, and in an instant, the wind and snow within a dozen feet gathered together. The group of people in front kept exclaiming, but they could not restrain their bodies from retreating.
Teng Gang brushed the shabby yellow leather bag around his waist, and threw out a snake-like rope to tie the six people behind him. His whole body was filled with black energy. He let out a low shout and pulled hard!
Stab!
Fierce blood splattered.
The two people closest to the illusory white skeleton screamed miserably, and the muscles and bones on their bodies were torn apart by two huge forces. A ball of hot minced meat was paste on Teng Gang's face, and Teng Gang was stunned for a moment.
"Grandma! Grandma!"
"ah!"
Like a severely wounded beast, Teng Gang squeezed out a wail from his throat, and his eyes suddenly turned red as blood.
He ignored the few people who had just been snatched away from the suction of the skeleton monster, and let them fall into the snow, being buried in the snow, and rushed towards the white skeleton crazily.
"Die!" The black energy all over Teng Gang's body gathered crazily towards his fist, and he punched hard on the white skeleton. With a bang, the white skeleton was actually scattered.
"Still trying to escape for your life? How naive!"
The harsh sound from behind sounded again. A man wearing a red robe, with an aura like smoke billowing around his body, came to Teng Gang's side and slapped Teng Gang on the head: "Little baby, don't leave." I'm afraid, the bloodline of your tribe will still continue, and it will be continued by your sister and your mother, ho ho ho ho..."
The phantom of the white skeleton had just been shattered, and Teng Gang, who was panting, was slapped on the side of his head before he could react.
The words of the man in the red robe were still echoing in his ears. He was rolled around in the wind and snow like a broken sack by the huge force, and his whole body fell straight into the snow.
A group of seven people fell down in the blink of an eye.
In the snow, Teng Gang's eyes were wide open, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't even move a finger, and his red eyes shed tears of blood.
Blood and tears condensed into ice crystals and condensed on Teng Gang's cheeks.
"You go against my Shi family, and this is what you will end up with."
The man in the red robe said coldly: "Your Excellency, there is no need to hide. I, a member of the Shi family, am the beloved son of Xueyuan."
More than twenty feet away to the left of the man in red robe, Gu Qing's figure was revealed. He was dressed in black, looking at the man in red robe from a distance through the vast snow curtain, his face expressionless.
He didn't know why he was seen through by this man in red robe.
But since he had been seen through, he had no choice but to show up. After all, he still wanted to get a way to identify the location from this person.
The two faced each other for more than ten breaths. The man in the red robe shook off the snow on his body, and then the red robe became illusory, revealing a man with a curly beard who was more than ten feet tall.
"Your Excellency, are you a monk?"
The big man with a curly beard, his calves stuck in the snow, suddenly spoke.
