Strange insects are hard to find, let alone willing to sell.
Ge Jia went to nearby villages to inquire, but Xue Tong estimated that he could not get the result within ten and a half days.
That day he was practicing the exercises in the stone room when his pocket suddenly moved.
There are only a few storage bracelets that are not commonly used in the bag. Where did the living things come from?
The vibrations continued to increase. Xue Tong took out the restless storage bracelet, not sure what it contained.
He killed too many enemies and sold most of the storage magic weapons at low prices, leaving only a small amount of storage miscellaneous items, so he couldn't remember them clearly.
Xue Tong opened the storage space with a flick of his fingers.
"Kaka"
Several large black and green beetles crawled out!
The insect is two feet long, has three orange eyes, and is black and green all over. Its four hairy braids are covered with barbs, and its eight legs have jagged sharp hooks that sparkle in the cold light.
A strange smell of rotten corpses hit his face.
A scene flashed through Xue Tong's consciousness: "The corpse monster basement in Ningyang Cemetery, hundreds of corpses and insect corpses in the tunnel..."
He pretended to take away the insect corpse, originally he just wanted to keep it as evidence and compare it with the corpse.
"Could it be that the Sky Corpse Insect was burned by the wing fire and evolved?"
Xue Tong is ecstatic!
Five corpse insects crawled out of the storage bracelet, smelled the human body's breath, and jumped into the air.
The front foot swings with a sharp hook, and the mouth sprays black juice like electricity.
"Bang!"
Xue Tong instantly swung his palm, and the shadow of his palm was like buckling a basin, drawing in the five heavenly corpse insects and slamming them into the ground.
The shadow of the vague finger looks like a giant grab, with mud and worms stuffed into the pet bag.
"At the level of Five Insects and Heavenly Beings, I have followed the corpse demon for thousands of years. Most of the Maoli tribe does not have such high-level spiritual insects, so this trip will be worry-free!"
Xue Tongxin was in full bloom.
…
Ten days later, Ge Jia returned to the village. Xue Tong looked at his color, and it seemed that he had brought good news.
"After traveling to dozens of villages, I finally persuaded the leader of Wallen Village to sell the 'Yin Yin Spider' insect. The ranking of the insect has improved by seven places compared to the Skeleton Silkworm." Ge Jia unfolded a silk picture and said.
Xue Tong glanced at the picture of the poisonous spider with its teeth and claws dancing, and smiled faintly, "It seems that your spiritual insects have a false reputation. Yang estimates that the leader of Wallen Village is only willing to sell the larvae."
Ge Jia had been working hard for days and felt resentful. He groaned and said dissatisfiedly: "Ge is thankless for his hard work. The Taoist Master's demand is too high and no one is willing to sell it. Otherwise, let's stop here and leave the village today."
"Yang has some wonderful insects. I wonder if I have seen them before." Xue Tong said with a smile.
"Hmph, Ge is a high-ranking member of the city and has read countless insects. The Taoist priest talks boastfully and talks about high-level spiritual insects. What kind of wonderful insects are there?!" Ge Jia shouted angrily.
Xue Tong took out a pet bag and reached out to grab it.
The shadow of his fingers pinched a black and green beetle and stopped in the air.
The Sky Corpse Insect hissed and screamed strangely, its eight legs scratched wildly, but its helpless fingers did not move at all, with no possibility of breaking free.
Ge Jia opened his mouth wide, stared, and stood upright without any movement.
After a long while, he regained his composure and said in a trembling voice: "As soon as we enter the Sky Corpse Insect!"
"Yijin" means the first evolution.
"Yang has a pair of corpse insects in his hands!"
Xue Tong threw out even more shocking news.
"ah!"
Ge Jia had a very strange expression, his face turned red and white, and he was speechless for a long time.
"...Take it out...and take a look," Ge Jia trembled.
"How can treasures be shown to others casually? First, let's talk about where the Heavenly Corpse Insect ranks on the Maoli Clan Insect Ranking, and how much is it worth once it enters the Corpse Insect?" Xue Tong asked.
Ge Jia answered without hesitation: "The Heavenly Corpse Worm ranks ninth. The success or failure of practicing corpse skills is largely determined by the corpse worm. In addition to assisting its master in practicing the exercises, the Heavenly Corpse Worm itself is also constantly evolving."
"Three times to become a king, you can defeat the Xuanxian!"
"Once you become an insect, you will almost certainly be able to refine yourself to the high level of the true method."
"Pairs of corpse insects can hatch larvae and reproduce, which greatly increases the possibility of secondary expansion. The value...the value...is difficult to estimate."
"Can Taoist Master show me the treasure insect?"
After Ge Jia finished speaking, he begged.
Xue Tong suppressed his ecstasy. In ten days, he packed the five insects into five bags and roughly judged three males and two females.
Xue Tong put away the corpse insects and caught another one.
The hook of the foot is downward, and the middle eye of the three eyes is the smallest.
These two characteristics are exactly the opposite of the previous corpse worm.
Ge Jia gasped, "Tao... Changzhen is willing to sell it?"
"I'm just exchanging it, not selling it. Fellow Daoist Ge can help me organize it, and I'll give you a generous reward," Xue Tong said.
Ge Jia was in a daze for a long time, and finally sighed: "It's difficult. Although Ge is not a big boss in the clan, but as soon as the pair entered the corpse insects, he expected that there would be no insects in his clan to replace."
"How do you know if you don't ask? If Brother Ge asks the senior officials of each village again, there will be no need to be as arrogant as the first two times."
"Maybe someone in the Maoli tribe has raised three armored spirit insects." Xue Tong said with a smile.
A strange expression appeared on Ge Jia's face. He originally wanted to scold Xue Tong for speaking too loudly, but then he thought: "This person holds a corpse against an insect in his hand, so he can be forgiven for speaking loudly."
"Three armored spirit insects? How is that possible!"
"The three insects of Taixu, Devouring Gold, and Annihilation probably only exist in the fairy world."
"The Taixu Worm ranks first. It was born at the beginning of the creation of the world. It masters the laws of time and space. Its twisted crystal wires are indestructible and can use wormholes to teleport thousands of miles."
"The gold-eating insect is proficient in the laws of space and can swallow everything. Even the crystal threads of laws cannot escape its mouth!"
"The law of annihilation and even darkness, even the low-level heavenly ways, can be destroyed and lost due to it. It is said that when the world is destroyed, it will be the day when the three thousand avenues will be annihilated without a shadow." Ge Jia said.
"Spiritual insects are still insects after all, how can they become Taoist ancestors?" Xue Tong objected.
"The insect spirit becomes an ancestor. The three-armored spirit insect does not say that it will definitely become an ancestor."
"Yang's Sky Corpse Insect, is it a form of decay?"
"Well, there are many spiritual insects in the Corrupt Path, and the human race, demon race and ghost race that practice corpse art also belong to this path. In the end, it is difficult to say which one is stronger and which one is weaker, but among the insect clan, the sky corpse insect has the best qualifications."
After listening to Ge Jia's explanation, Xue Tong roughly understood, "As soon as Yang entered the Heavenly Corpse Against Insects, fellow Taoist Lao Ge would look for the person he liked. Yang would be waiting here. He would only exchange it, not sell it."
"What exactly do fellow Taoists want to exchange for?"
"Spiritual insects with similar rankings!"
Xue Tong really didn't intend to raise corpse worms. He had enough spiritual pets, and he didn't like disgusting bugs like corpse worms.
…
A full month passed, and Ge Jia left and never came back.
Xue Tong and others came to escort him back to the stronghold: Hao Zhuang and Lan Ling.
"Where did Deputy Village Master Ge go after you deceived him? There's something going on in the village, but he can't be found!" Hao Zhuang shouted when he saw Xue Tong.
"Yang can't control Deputy Village Leader Ge, so why are you lying? There's something going on in the walled city. Maybe Yang can help a little." Xue Tong estimated the time, and You Shuochang said that the trouble in Qihu City Walled should be solved. Already on the scene.
"You help? Is it possible to kill those evil outsiders?" Hao Zhuang blurted out.
"Senior brother, please stop nagging and let me do it." Lan Ling couldn't stand Hao Zhuang's unrestrained words, so she stepped forward and said.
"A group of foreign monks came to the Qihu City Walled Territory. They killed tens of thousands of patrolling black bees and asked our village to give up part of its territory." Lan Ling said.
"The territory is disputed?" Xue Tong asked.
"How can there be any controversy!" Lan Ling said angrily.
Seeing that Hao Zhuang was about to speak but hesitated, Xue Tong said: "I'm afraid it's just a one-sided statement that there is no controversy. Let's talk about it, fellow Daoist Hao."
"More than a thousand years ago, Pei's civil war caused losses to the Maoli tribe, so the kingdom gave up nearly 100,000 square miles of land outside the river valley, which is about 30% of the Qihu Village." Hao Zhuang said.
"The Maoli tribe's attitude is very important when Pei State demands to take it back. What do other villages say?" Xue Tong asked.
"There are different opinions. Some call for the entire clan to resist, while others advise the village to return it and end the matter." Lan Ling was furious.
"Monk Pei..." Xue Tong frowned. You Shuochang didn't want to reveal who the "big force" was. Now it seems that it is actually known.
"It doesn't seem like a good idea to go against Pei Guo. What is You Shuochang's purpose?" Xue Tong had a vague feeling that this matter was by no means as simple as it seemed.
"Yang went to meet those people. Guizhai can't beat them." Xue Tong said.
What an unexpected surprise!
Hao Zhuang and Lan Ling could hardly believe their ears.
The two of them came to ask Ge Jia for news. Unexpectedly, Xue Tong was willing to come forward!
…
Ten miles outside the walled city, there is a temporary camp on the hillside.
A group of four people from Qihu Village were followed by the Eagle Vulture and the Tyrant Ape.
Village leader, elder, Xue Tong, Lan Ling.
Qihu Village only has the chief, deputy village master and elder heavenly being, so it really cannot send out more high-ranking ones.
The monks of Pei Kingdom were greatly surprised. They knew the details of Qihu Village clearly beforehand. The sudden appearance of Xue Tong and his spiritual pets caught them off guard.
Huo Maoxian was "of the same rank" as Xue Tong. He calmed down and showed his silver waist badge, "We have been ordered to negotiate with Qihu Village and plan to take back the territory of Pei State. Where are you from and why are you here?"
"Yang lives without a fixed address. His surname is Yang and his given name is Shijie. He happens to be staying in Qihu Village recently."
"Staying for a short stay? The Maoli people don't interact with the outside world, why do you stay for a short stay?" Huo Maoxian, who shouldered the royal mandate, returned to normal and asked sternly.
"I accidentally entered the territory of the Maoli people and bought some spiritual insects." Xue Tong was absent-minded and kept wondering why Pei State wanted to take back the old land?
"You came here with the Maoli people to persuade me?" Huo Maoxian scolded.
"Master Huo, please return to the capital temporarily and come back in six months. Such a big matter requires long-term planning." Qihu Village Chief interjected.
Xue Tong has already reached an agreement with Qihu Village, "Temporarily stay away from the edge, neither affirming nor denying, and use the trick of dragging the word to promote change!"
The overwhelming strength advantage of the Pei people was greatly reduced by the appearance of Xue Tong and his two favorites.
Huo Maoxian said angrily: "My king has made up his mind and there can be no delay in taking back the territory!"
"The Jingcong River flows through the three kingdoms, and the Pei Kingdom is in the middle. It is not unified. The Maoli tribe has many talents. This matter needs to be widely recognized among the tribe to avoid future troubles. It will be difficult to reach a conclusion in three to five months. It is better for all Taoist priests to return to the royal capital first. Tell me?" Xue Tong said.
Huo Maoxian slapped the table, "How dare you, in front of us, it's not your turn to point fingers?"
Xue Tong smiled faintly and said: "Yang is a bystander, tell the truth, why should fellow Taoists be so stubborn!"
Xue Tong had already had an idea, and he needed to do something to escalate the incident in Qihu City Walled City, preferably into a major event for the entire clan.
Huo Maoxian was furious and grabbed him from the air.
Xue Tong saw it clearly and poked out with one finger.
The shadow of Huo Maoxian's palm penetrated him, causing severe pain in his palm. The moment he retracted his hand, his shoulders suddenly went numb, and he was immediately thrown out of the wooden house.
Huo Maoxian stabilized his figure in mid-air and was about to land safely before he saw it.
"Hoo~"
A big hand in mid-air, like a mountain pressing against the top!
Huo Maoxian's bracelet turned sharply and the magic weapon was unsheathed.
The sword light rose into the sky.
Huo Maoxian was thrown out of the tent with one move. If he could land smoothly and force Xue Tong to shrink his hand, it would be a small way to save his face.
"Ding!"
Mars is everywhere.
Huo Maoxian was shot into the mud with his sword!
He crawled out in embarrassment. He was still injured, but his old face was completely forgotten.
Xue Tongman's divine fist glove was on his hand. Although the shadow of his palm was pierced, the glove pressed against the tip of the sword and exerted force, forcing Huo Maoxian to be buried!
