In the morning of the next day, two ghost forest defense teams of about forty people were lined up on the spacious playground in the middle of the camp. The members of the defense team were all composed of sect disciples, and their cultivation levels were no lower than the seventh level of Qi training. Every day Before going on patrol or garrisoning, the defense team will gather on the playground.
At this time, every sect disciple lined up in the field looked a little nervous, because the new head assigned by the sect had arrived at the guard station last night, and was now standing in front of the defense team with Tai Xiong, the leader of the guard station. He is a man with a cold iron mask on his face.
"Let me introduce to you, next to me is your nephew Xuanting of Xindutou. From now on, you all must follow the arrangements of your nephew Xuanting." Tuoba Yan said with a serious face.
"Disciple pays homage to Senior Xuanting!" All the team members said in unison.
"Xuan Ting has met you all!" Liu Yu took a step forward and returned the greeting with cupped hands.
"There are four Ghost Forest Defense Teams. Each team has more than 20 people. There are two team leaders, Tuoba Ying. You team leaders haven't come up to pay homage to your new capital leader." Tuoba Yan said, looking at He said to several people in the queue.
"The leader of the second team, Tuoba Ying, pays homage to Dutou!"
"The deputy captain of the second team, Tuoba Li, pays homage to Dutou!"
"Pu Chu, the leader of the fourth team, pays his respects to Du Tou!"
"Wang Qingchi, deputy captain of the fourth team, pays homage to Dutou!"
The four leaders of the two teams immediately stepped forward and announced their names.
"In the future, I hope that the four of you will work harder to help Pindao guard the ghost forest and ensure the peace of the surrounding people! You will live up to the important responsibility of the sect!" Liu Yu said politely, cupping his hands.
"Disciples will do their best and obey Dutou's orders!" the four people said immediately.
The head of the guard station is the immediate superior of the four defense teams. Everything from daily patrols and garrison dispatches to year-end performance evaluations are decided by the people in front of them. It is inevitable that the four of them will not pay attention.
"Okay, retreat first!" Tuoba Yan waved the four people back to the team, then took out a jade plate with a moire pattern with the Eight Trigrams directions, handed it to Liu Yu and said: "This is a garrison plate, based on the eight-position plate of the universe. Transformed, together with the guard jade tokens in each of their hands, they form a set of fourth-level positioning instruments."
"If a defense disciple encounters danger while patrolling the ghost forest, he will send out a signal for help by activating the guard jade plate in his hand. When the guard plate receives the signal and lights up, the apprentice must press the position indicated by the signal on the plate and rush to the scene immediately. Go to the rescue and resolve the crisis.”
"Xuan Ting knows!" Liu Yu took the cloud-patterned jade plate and nodded in reply.
"Tuoba Ying, you go and change the guard on your own. Master Xuanting has just arrived at the guard station. Let him rest for a few days." Tuoba Yan said no more, and ordered the two teams of guard disciples to go as usual. Changing of guard.
The four ghost forest defense teams are divided into two groups. Each group patrols for one day and rests for one day. This rotation is repeated over and over again. This has always been the case.
"Uncle Master, now that the disciples have taken office, it is natural that they should not slow down their work. From today on, they will go on patrol with them!" Liu Yu immediately interrupted.
"Senior nephew Xuanting, you can just stay at the guardhouse on weekdays. There is no need to..." Tuoba Yan originally wanted to tell Liu Yu that there was no need to follow him on patrol in person. This place is extremely boring on weekdays and nothing will happen. You can rest assured. .
But thinking that Liu Yu had just arrived at the health center and was in high spirits, it was not easy to dampen his enthusiasm. He would understand in the future.
"Forget it! You may as well follow me to find the way in the next few days, Tuoba Ying. I will introduce you to the terrain and patrol conditions around the ghost forest on the way." Tuoba Yan said to Tuoba Ying, the leader of the second team. .
Tuoba Ying and Tuoba Li are descendants of the Tuoba family. They both attacked the Foundation Establishment Realm. After failing to open the Zi Mansion, they were transferred to the Tianshi Guards. For Tuoba Yan, there are several My descendants also have many errands on weekdays.
"Disciple knows!" Tuoba Ying immediately accepted the order.
…
Soon, Liu Yu followed the second defense team out of the guard station and flew towards the patrol defense line on the left side of the "Shadow Ghost Forest".
According to Tuoba Ying, only one-third of the Shadow Ghost Forest is within the territory of Gao Cang Kingdom. The sect only needs to lay down an arc-shaped patrol line along the southern periphery of the ghost forest.
This entire patrol defense line is about two hundred miles long. The guard camp was built in the middle of the defense line, dividing the defense line into left and right sides. A defense team was responsible for one side of the defense line.
The garrison method is patrol, that is, each defense team member is separated and divided into a patrol area of about five miles.
Each team member needs to patrol back and forth all day long around the approximately five-mile-long ghost forest that they are responsible for, trying their best to drive away and kill monsters, ghosts, corpses and other dirt that are trying to break out of the ghost forest.
One day later, other members of the defense team will come to take over the defense area and replace him and return to the defense station to rest.
"The second team came early today! Then Li will go back to the guard station first." Not long after Liu Yu and the others from the second defense team were marching along the perimeter of the ghost forest, from among the thick branches of an old tree in the forest, An old man wearing a sect's light wind robe flashed out, presumably a member of the first defense team.
This time the second defense team came to replace the members of the first defense team who had been stationed all day.
"Senior Brother Li, don't be too busy leaving. This is Senior Uncle Xuanting of Xindutou!" Tuoba Ying immediately stopped him. The old man surnamed Li was about to run away.
"Li Bolin, greetings to seniors!" Li Bolin, who had been stationed for a day and was eager to go back to the guardhouse to sleep, yawned repeatedly. Hearing this, he woke up and immediately came forward to pay his respects.
"No need to be polite!" Liu Yu nodded slightly.
In this way, every five miles along the way, one person from the second team would stay to replace the member of the first team who was on duty. When they reached the middle of the patrol line on the left, they saw Bai Guangchen and Bai Haifu, the two leaders of the first defense team.
After the conversation, the two people who could have gone back to the guardhouse to rest said they wanted to accompany them. Liu Yu spent a lot of words to persuade them to retreat and let them go back to the guardhouse to rest first.
"Five miles of land is neither long nor short. Can one person patrol such a wide area and guard it? If he encounters danger, will he be in danger?" Looking at the members of the second team stationed at him, In charge of the defense area, Liu Yu couldn't help but ask Tuoba Ying on the side.
"Uncle, don't worry! Every defense disciple carries a guard jade token. The one held by the leader of each team is grade A, and the one held by the team members is grade B. If you encounter high-level monsters or dangerous ghosts, the defense disciples will not be able to handle it on their own. You can use this jade token to ask for help from other team members nearby."
"The rescue signal sent by the Grade B Jade Tablet can reach thirty miles. The signal received and sent by the Grade A Jade Tablet has a wider range and can reach hundreds of miles."
"As far as our team is concerned, Junior Brother Li and I usually stay at the front and rear of the defense line respectively. If a member of our team sends out a signal for help, one of Junior Brother Li and I will definitely receive it and we will rush there as soon as possible."
"If you are still unable to deal with it, you will send a request for help to Uncle Master's garrison through the Grade A jade plaque in your hand." Tuoba Ying said patiently.
"That's it!" Liu Yu couldn't help but nod. Through the guard jade tokens in each hand, he connected the scattered team members to assist each other and provide timely support, which could greatly reduce the risk to the defending disciples and the pressure of patrolling.
"Even so, it's still too much for one person to guard five miles of land. There will inevitably be fish that slip through the net and slip out of the ghost forest and cause trouble. Why don't the sect send more people?" Then Liu Yu thought something was wrong again, and then asked doubtfully.
"Uncle Master, you are too worried! The sect has set up a guard here for thousands of years and killed countless ghosts. Under the influence of subtle influence, not to mention the spiritual high-level monsters in the ghost forest, let's talk about the chaotic ghosts. , generally they don’t dare to go near the forest edge patrol area.”
"According to the habits of these monsters and ghosts, they like to move in places with strong Yin energy, such as deep in ghost forests or underground mines. The Yin energy near the forest is relatively thin, so they rarely appear in this area. A guard It is not difficult for the disciples to guard the land of five miles."
"After January, not to mention troublesome seniors, you will personally take action. Even if there are not many situations that require the leaders of each team to take action, seniors will know after they stay here for a long time."
"Besides the boring time of being stationed in the ghost forest, the biggest trouble is that it is extremely difficult to practice. Daily patrols are not that hard." Tuoba Ying continued to explain, but said with emotion.
In the next month, Liu Yu followed four defense teams to take turns patrolling the two hundred-mile garrison defense line around the Ghost Forest, and it was exactly as Tuoba Ying said.
During this period, there were few opportunities for him to take action. Most of them were low-level ghosts such as ghosts and rotten corpses wandering around, wandering to the edge of the forest in a daze, or some hungry monsters going out to look for food and accidentally breaking into the defensive line. All ordinary defense disciples could do it. Handle.
After this month, Liu Yu has a general understanding of the terrain and patrol conditions around the ghost forest. Judging from the conditions around the ghost forest, this "shadow ghost forest" is somewhat similar to the black haze poisonous forest in the Black and White Mountains, but Lin The Yin energy in the middle is purer and does not contain a large amount of poisonous smoke and miasma like the black haze poisonous forest.
But Liu Yu had never gone deep into the ghost forest, and he did not know what was going on deep in the ghost forest. After understanding the patrol situation, Liu Yu did not waste his time and followed the defense team to patrol the ghost forest, but stayed behind. Practice in peace of mind in your own barracks at the guard station.
The guard camp is located on the edge of the "Shadow Ghost Forest". The yin energy is very heavy and the five elements of spiritual energy in the air are extremely rare. Even if the "Five Spirit Gathering Talisman Array" is set up, it will be in vain. To practice in such a place, you can only swallow Taking the elixir depends entirely on the power of the elixir to improve your own cultivation.
It's no wonder that the eight and ninety members of the four Ghost Forest Defense Teams are all older Qi practitioners, and there are even many experienced Taoists with silver hair.
Most of these people who came to garrison here had little hope for their own cultivation, so they just lived their lives. Once the ten-year period was over, they immediately received a generous amount of spiritual stones as a reward from the sect and ran away.
Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the white jade futon on the stone bed of the barracks. She placed her hands lightly on her knees with her palms facing up. She closed her eyes lightly and fell into concentration. A quarter of an hour after entering the contract, she took two pills, one orange and one white.
From the color and style of the elixir, it can be seen that the elixir he swallowed is no longer the "Wuchen Pill" and "Jinying Pill" that he has been taking before.
Liu Yu has been taking "Wuchen Pill" and "Golden Cherry Pill" for hundreds of years to practice. Her body has become resistant to these two pills, and the effects of her practice have gradually weakened.
In addition, after his own cultivation level advanced to the Sixth Prefecture, Liu Yu changed to two brand new elixirs, the orange-yellow is the fifth-grade "Jiang Shen Dan", and the snow-white is the fifth-grade "Golden Milk Pill".
"Golden Milk Pill" is made from more than ten kinds of gold spiritual beasts, combined with spiritual materials such as snow lotus, polygonatum japonica, and golden angelica. After taking it, it can provide a large amount of gold spiritual power. It can be found in Bai Xinglin in Beluga Port One pill in the pharmacy sells for 3,100 low-level spiritual stones.
"Ginger Shendan" is made from hundreds of years old ginseng, ground ginger fruit, spiritual rice and other spiritual materials. It is an earth-based elixir and is sold for 1,900 low-level spiritual stones.
About four hours later, Liu Yucai finished refining the power of the elixir. She stood up and sat down at the table in the room. She poured herself a cup of tea, frowning slightly and looking a little heavy.
It's not that the cultivation effect is not good, but these two new medicines are very powerful, and the cultivation effect has been greatly improved compared to before.
But thinking that the term of stationing here would be fifty years, Liu Yu secretly felt worried and worried, because if he relied solely on the power of elixirs to practice, it would require a huge amount of spiritual stones and financial resources.
Liu Yu took a sip of tea and calmed down, thinking secretly:
Two pills a day, with a total price of 5,000 low-grade spirit stones. Purchased from Bai Xinglin Pharmacy. With the Bai Xing Ling redeemed with tens of millions of points many years ago, you can enjoy a 30% discount. After conversion, it is equivalent to a single daily routine. Cultivation requires 3,500 low-level spiritual stones.
One month is 105,000, and one year is 1.26 million.
After leaving Beluga Port, he had lost his source of financial resources. Although he still had more than five million low-level spiritual stones in his storage bag, and when he left Beluga Port, he also purchased a year's worth of medicine.
But after calculation, if there is no other account, if I practice here, even if I reduce the dosage of medicine and take it once every two days, I can only last for more than ten years at most. Thinking about it, I can't help but have a headache.
