Xu Qing pondered as he watched the captain leave.
Although he still didn't know the details of the big event the captain mentioned, he had made some guesses in his heart and knew that he would probably be away for a long time.
So he simply took a long vacation first, and spent the next three days in the county to buy all the things he needed. After everything was prepared, Xu Qing returned to the Jiange and took out the Black Sky Clan eyes that Ghost Hand had given him. Study it.
This object is wonderful and has some spiritual amplification effects. However, when Xu Qing used the power of the Purple Moon Heavenly Palace to drive it, the object underwent abnormal changes.
Three days passed by in a flash.
In the past three days, whenever dusk falls in the county capital, the sky will be a little different from usual days. Perhaps it is because of the season. The sky is no longer dim, but red.
The earth and all the buildings were dyed red, like blood.
Can't tell if it's auspicious or a bad omen.
It was like this for three days in a row.
Standing in the sword pavilion, Xu Qing looked at the sky. Some inexplicable uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart. This feeling came very suddenly and dissipated quickly.
Xu Qing looked confused. He had never had a similar feeling before. Thinking about it now, it seemed that this uneasy feeling came from his natal mosasaurus.
Just as Xu Qing was pondering, a person walked out of the red clouds.
It's the captain.
He came excitedly, smiled when he saw Xu Qing, arranged the formations around him, and asked Xu Qing to activate the sword pavilion formation. After shielding the surroundings, he spoke mysteriously.
"Little Aqing, everything is ready. This time it's just you and me, no one else is going to call."
"I originally planned to call Ning Yan, but this kid actually disappeared after passing the test. I searched for him for a long time and couldn't find him. Could it be that he knew that I wanted to use him as a human shield?"
The captain sighed regretfully, as if the overcooked duck had flown away.
Xu Qing was also surprised when he heard this. After thinking about it, he asked.
"If he doesn't participate, will it have a big impact?"
"Originally it had a great influence, but with the Heitian Clan jade slip you gave me, it doesn't matter whether Ning Yan participates or not." The captain's eyes flashed and he spoke in a low voice.
"Little Ah Qing, this time we won't act recklessly, we will outwit you, and I will take you to... the Shenglan Clan!"
Xu Qing was thoughtful.
"Shall we pretend to be the Heitian Clan and go to the Shenglan Clan?"
The captain laughed and beamed.
"Little Ah Qingqing still understands me. Yes, this time we are going to the Shenglan Clan dressed as Heitian Clan members. Think about it, the Shenglan Clan is the slaves of the Heitian Clan. We pretend to be their masters. After we go All plans come true.”
Xu Qing nodded. There are still many details that need to be resolved, but the captain is obviously very talented in dressing up, so Xu Qing is not worried about these details.
He analyzed the general direction and felt that this matter could be done.
"Where are you going to the Shenglan Clan?" Xu Qing asked.
"The Great Wilderness East County of the Shenglan Clan!" the captain whispered.
"There are fourteen counties in the Shenglan Territory. Among them, the Great Wilderness East County borders Fenghai County. There is a different place in it called Zhenxian Shichang!"
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. He didn't know much about the Shenglan tribe, but when he heard the name, he still instinctively felt a little strange and uncomfortable. .
Noticing Xu Qing's expression, the captain spoke in a low voice
"Do you think this name is weird? The True Immortal Ten Intestines refers to ten strange trees that grow straight into the sky like intestines."
"This True Immortal Ten-Intestine Tree has existed for an extremely long time. Before the arrival of the gods, its area covered most of the region and was worshiped and sacrificed by all the tribes in this region."
"It is said that at that time, all the eyes in this area were looking at the branches of this tree, and it was covered with countless corpses, all of which were sacrificed to Him. It is said that this can bring blessings, and even the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou did not stop it. This custom in this area.”
"Of course this is because of the ten intestines of the real immortal, and there is also a legend." The captain's eyes flashed. .
"Legend has it that these true immortal intestines were transformed into immortals by the last member of the Exian tribe countless years ago!"
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
"The Exian tribe is mysterious and unpredictable. They believe that the intestines are the wheel that runs through life and are the beginning of all origins. To become an immortal, you need to open your body and use yourself as a supplement to release your spiritual intestines and integrate them into the world, so that you can absorb the nutrients of the world."
"According to legend, this Exian tribe succeeded in the end. He turned into a true immortal in Wanggu Continent, and the ten intestines of the true immortal are his true body... But the arrival of the gods imprisoned him again, and he is now sleeping."
As the captain spoke, he took out an apple and a peach, handed the apples to Xu Qing, and took a bite of the peach before continuing to speak.
"Is this also a true immortal?" Xu Qing took a deep breath. This was different from the immortal he imagined.
"I didn't expect that a true immortal is like this. Little Ah Qing, your understanding of this world is still not enough. You need to learn more from me, senior brother, in the future." The captain bit the peach with a hint of pride in his expression.
Xu Qing felt it made sense and nodded seriously.
The captain spoke softly with deep meaning in his eyes.
"What do you think an immortal is like? We human beings believe that they are immortal spirits, who leave the world and come out of the dust, and the wind is ethereal."
"But each tribe has different perceptions. The Exian tribe believes that immortals are ten intestines, and there are more foreign tribes. In their ethnic mythology, immortals have various appearances."
"We will go to many places in the future, and you will see countless bizarre things."
"This world is very interesting." The captain smiled.
Xu Qing's heart was filled with confusion and she looked into the distance.
The captain's voice continued.
"Surrounding the True Immortal Tengu Tree, an endless jungle spreads out around it. That's where we are going this time!"
"That piece of the True Immortal Ten-Intestinal Jungle will grow a large number of True Immortal Dao Fruits every hundred years. Of course, the appearance of these fruits is rather strange, exactly like the eyes."
"You can't eat this kind of fruit. If you eat it, you will go crazy and develop multiple personalities. Even the people from Taisi Xianmen don't dare to eat it even if their skills require multiple personalities."
"But the True Immortal Dao Fruit is a rare material for refining weapons. It can greatly increase the power of the refined magical weapons, so it is valuable."
"And our county official, because there is no trade relationship with the Shenglan tribe, has been issuing missions to acquire this kind of Dao Fruit all year round. Each Dao Fruit will give 10,000 military merits!"
"This time, if we get a few hundred Dao Fruits, wouldn't that mean millions of military merits?"
"How about it, little Ah Qing, your senior brother and I are not that good. This is a line of doing great things that I have dug in the Gongbo Division for a long time. Of course, this is just the first goal. There will be others in the future... …”
The captain looked a little proud. After eating one peach, he took out another peach and took a bite.
Xu Qing instinctively expressed admiration, with thoughts in his eyes.
"Junior brother, can you stop being so perfunctory? I taught you your ability to change expressions..." The captain looked at Xu Qing longingly.
Xu Qing nodded, his eyes widened with a look of disbelief, and then he spoke calmly.
"Senior Brother, apart from the tree itself, are there any arrangements and dangers around the True Immortal Ten Intestines? And for such an important thing, the Shenglan Clan should also be able to pick it."
The captain watched Xu Qing's expression change, reluctantly accepted it, and continued to explain his plan while eating peaches.
"The Ten Intestines of the True Immortal itself are dangerous, but they are still asleep after all."
"And around the jungle where the True Immortal Ten Intestines Tree has been transformed, the existence of karma and fruits has resulted in the formation of several small city-states for countless years. Most of these small countries are attached to the four major dynasties in the Shenglan Domain."
"Every time the Dao fruit matures, these small city-states are responsible for collecting it and paying tribute to their respective dynasties."
"The danger is indeed there, but as the Black Sky Clan, as long as the details are taken care of, great things can be accomplished!"
The captain licked his lips, a look of madness in his eyes.
"The key to this matter is how we go there. It would be a bit abrupt if we go directly as the Black Sky Clan." Xu Qing said softly.
The captain was confident, as if everything was under his control.
"The Tree of the True Immortal Ten Intestines needs a special nutrient called mica stone every time the Dao fruit is about to mature. Although this nutrient is available in other places, the yield is not large. It can only be found in Chaoxia Prefecture in Fenghai County. rich."
"So whenever this Dao Fruit is about to mature, many caravans from the Shenglan Clan will sneak in and smuggle mica stones. Although the government does not trade with the Shenglan Clan, the Yao family supports the Shenglan Clan."
"This has always been an important source of income for the Yao family."
Having said this, the captain looked into Xu Qing's eyes.
"Do you understand what I mean, little A-Qing?"
Xu Qing's eyes revealed a strange light and he spoke softly.
"Let one of the convoys take the initiative to send us into the Shenglan Clan!"
The captain laughed, his eyes shining.
"That's right!"
"I have already planned it. I asked you to take photos and observe those Black Sky clan members. Just for this reason, we disguised ourselves as the Black Sky clan. I am sure and prepared for this matter."
"Although the arrest of the Black Sky clan by the Sword Holding Palace was secretive, I secretly spread the news to a target convoy to let them know about this incident, but they didn't know how many Black Sky clan members were captured. "
"Next, what we have to do is put on a play, and this requires the cooperation of a sword holder..."
"You know Kong Xianglong so well, how about I leave this matter to you?" the captain whispered.
Xu Qing thought for a while and nodded.
"Then, it's settled, we'll set off tomorrow morning!" The captain took a deep breath, with anticipation in his eyes, and swallowed the peach in his hand.
"Little Ah Qing, we are prosperous this time, and there is absolutely no danger. We are going as the masters!"
Xu Qing understood that this time was extremely dangerous, but he was well prepared, and once he succeeded, his military achievements would be amazing, so his eyes showed anticipation, and he was extremely eager for military achievements.
As for how the two of them would return after this was completed, Xu Qing didn't ask. He and the captain had done many important things. The rhythm of the two of them was to work together in the early stage and then settle down to their own destiny after completing the work.
At this moment, watching the captain leave, Xu Qing took out the message jade slip and sent a message to Kong Xianglong. He did not tell everything, but just put forward the request. Kong Xianglong laughed after hearing it.
"If you have an idea to dress up as a Black Sky clan member, take me with you!"
"My senior brother and I..." Xu Qing hesitated.
"Uh... Then I won't go. Xu Qing, I know you don't like to hear it, but I still want to remind you, be careful of your senior brother, he is unreliable, don't be fooled by him."
Xu Qing smiled bitterly, chatted a few more words with Kong Xianglong, agreed on the details for tomorrow, and ended the message transmission.
Seeing that it was already getting late, Xu Qing packed up his storage bag and thought that the time of his outing was undecided, so he sent a message to Immortal Zixuan to tell him that he was going out.
After doing this, he sat cross-legged and meditated, waiting for dawn.
But... before dawn, a person came outside his sword pavilion.
It is Zixuan Shangxian.
When she walked into the sword pavilion, the fragrance of her body filled the sword pavilion. She looked at Xu Qing with gentle eyes and spoke softly.
"I won't stop you from going out to do things, but you don't have enough protection, so I'm here to take care of you."
Outside the door behind her beautiful figure, the moonlight reflected like a river, flowing on her dress and falling on the ground.
Under the moonlight, Zixuan seems to be standing in the moon river. Her elegant expression and gentle eyes are like a lotus blooming in the moon river, holding on to her own peace.
