Chapter 408: The Elder Descends from the Mountain
This time, a group of people from Yinren Town fought in the governor's mansion. The black-armored soldiers suffered a lot of losses, 70% of which were caused by the white ape, and the remaining 30% died at the hands of Helian Haixin. However, Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao, who were the most powerful, actually did not cause any casualties among the black-armored soldiers.
Two hundred corpses had been built into two hills, and with the order of the county magistrate, they were all pushed into the Yunxiao Pond.
There are thousands of koi in the Yunxiao Pond, plus some adult water beasts. Although no king of beasts appears, the weight of a few hundred people is still digestible.
The soldiers of the palace did not notice that as these corpses were continuously thrown into the calm lake bottom of Yunxiao Pond, the dark red blood gradually dyed the water red, and the formation hidden at the bottom of the lake gradually lit up.
…
At the same time, Luo Yunzong was thousands of miles away.
The celebration of Yunxi Day is the most important festival of Luo Yun Kingdom. After all, Luo Yun Sect has only officially entered the ranks of the eight sects since then. At this time, all the peaks of Luo Yun Sect are filled with a strong festive atmosphere.
Luo Yunzong claims to have nine thousand outer disciples! But most of them are registered disciples, distributed throughout Luo Yun Kingdom. There are about two thousand outside disciples who are resident in Luo Yunzong. They are distributed around the main peak, Yunxiao Peak. Looking at the simple courtyards built on the tops of the mountains that are not high, I have to say that this is what it means to be a super first-class disciple. The heritage of the sect.
Compared to the scarcity of inner disciples, the outer disciples seemed to pay more attention to this cloudless day. Looking at the courtyards where the outer disciples lived, every household was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, making it very lively.
Compared to the gathering place for inner disciples on the mountainside of Yunxiao Peak, this place is indeed more lively.
Further up along the Yunxiao Peak, there are these huge palace complexes. This is the center of power of Luo Yun Sect. Generally, outer disciples only come here twice in their lives, once when they start and once when they die. Without a special summons, they could only reach the inner gate halfway up the mountain.
These palaces are where the elders of Luo Yun Sect live.
You must know that the strength of all the elders of Luo Yun Sect is not even mentioned in the arena of Luo Yun Kingdom. Even in the arena of the world, they are ranked among the top figures. Even outside, they are martial arts experts who can establish a sect.
Therefore, it is reasonable to treat them with such courtesy. This is also the foundation of the strong foundation of Luo Yunzong!
And in one of the main halls, there was an old man sitting cross-legged. This old man looks to be around sixty years old, but except for his eyebrows and hair, which are all gray, his skin is like that of a young man. When people look at it, they will think of the word "crane-haired and childlike"! In addition, the old man has a good face, and he is a talented person with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.
If we use Yi Xifeng's aesthetics on earth, he looks like a fashionable young man with dyed white hair! However, his temperament is extremely deep, giving him a strange and inconsistent feeling.
At this moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, a ray of red light flashed through his eyes.
Click, click, click! A crisp cracking sound.
There was a bronze mirror placed next to the old man. At this time, it shattered without warning. The sound just now was made by it.
"This Ji family is quite interesting. He has collected such a large number of blood sacrifices so quickly!" As he spoke, the old man's figure flashed slightly and disappeared into the hall.
On the second day, some rumors leaked out from the inner sect of Luo Yunzong: Zhou Yuanyi, the elder of the inner sect, suddenly left seclusion last night and went down the mountain.
…………Dividing line…………
Lin Hengshan and a group of people had returned safely from Luoye City. Helian Haixin and Zhang Ming left them after escorting them out of Luoye City.
Zhang Ming's main purpose this time was to deliver wine. After all, he had promised Yi Xifeng, so he had to fulfill his promise. Of course, the young man in Jinyi was very happy to take a shot at Luoye City by the way.
Lin Hengshan did not force the other party to stay. He knew the power represented by this Medicine King's world-wide travels. He also knew that sometimes it was enough for someone to help you with something, but it would be bad if he pushed further. In addition, the young man and Qin Hongyao had just met each other, so they were naturally in a hurry to return to the gentle village, so it was difficult to say anything more.
But in the end, Zhang Ming specifically confessed that these three jars of wine were for Yi Xifeng, and that the old man should not give them to Li Chengqian.
As for the other young man, Helian Haixin was even more embarrassed. Originally, the Helian family and the Lin family did not deal with each other very much. To be more detailed, the two families still had a feud. However, this time, the young man took action for the sake of the people in the county. Naturally, he had no other choice. choose.
"Master Helian, Yinren thanks you for taking this action. If you have some free time, welcome to Yinren as a guest!" Lin Hengshan said with cupped hands.
Compared to Zhang Ming's casualness, the old man knew that it was more difficult to repay favors from strangers, especially enemies.
The young scholar nodded, cupped his hands briefly, and then slowly disappeared.
After a few breaths, Li Chengqian on the side reminded him softly: "He's gone."
Lin Hengshan said calmly: "Go down and withdraw the mission of assassinating him!"
Qingzhu on the side said in a low voice: "Sir, canceling the commission at will will damage the reputation of the salary list! And there will be double compensation for the commission."
"pay!"
In this way, in the evening of Yunxi Day, they returned to Yinren Town. It was a complete victory for everyone to return safely.
…
Yinren Township, Presbyterian Church.
At this time, Lin Hengshan, San Lao, Li Chengqian, Li Chengtao, and Zhao Yunming were all in the hall.
"Congratulations, general, on your victory!" Lin Dongyue, the leader of the three elders, said with a smile.
The old man sat on the ebony Taishi chair at the top and shook his head, sighing: "We can't even call it a victory. We can only say that everything went well!"
Then, he looked at Zhao Yunming. After all, he was the one who compiled and submitted all the information about Yinren when he went out to Luoye City. Even many special situations were controlled by this tall, thin middle-aged man.
"How are those brats doing?"
"General, the mission has been issued. When you come back and step into Yinren Town, they will have already marched towards Qingchuan County." Zhao Yunming replied in a deep voice.
Lin Hengshan nodded with some relief and sighed: "It's better to go out early, everything in that county government house is not beyond my expectation, except!..."
Having said this, the old man paused and continued: "Only the square tower and the space formation on the blood sacrifice formation!"
Zhao Yunming also frowned. He did not expect that Ji Shenfu had so many hidden tricks.
It seemed that it was right to let those children go first. As expected, there must be a powerful mastermind behind the Demon Sect's sacrificial method in Luoye City.
…
Yi Xifeng was wearing a snow-white cloak. The outer surface of the cloak was made of cotton and linen, but the lining was made of fine snow roe deer tail hair. It just felt good to the touch.
I have to say that this white cloak is more suitable for a fair boy. Not only does it make him look more handsome, but it is also not easy to be exposed in this snowy season.
He looked at the strong man leading the way. The other man was also wearing a white cloak, and he also wore a white tiger skin hat. If his face were not red and black, he would not be noticed if he threw it in the snow.
Yi Xifeng looked back behind him, with a smile on his lips. In addition to him, this operation also included Lin Fenghuo, Zhao Long, Li Xintian, Zhong Lingxi, Wang Bodang, Fifth Xiaoxiao, Qi Chengcheng, and Lin Lei.
Together with Captain Gao Ning who led the way, there was exactly a ten-man team.
The fair boy's eyes stopped on Lin Fenghuo, and he thought to himself: This operation is a bit unusual!
Because Lin Fenghuo's status in Yinren Town is well known, he is the only child of the Lin family. Even though the Lin family's strict upbringing prevented Heizi from receiving any special care since he was a child, as he grew older and his temperament gradually became established, this kind of protection that was deliberately hidden has slowly emerged in recent times.
Therefore, a normal mission such as traveling to other counties would not put him in danger. Even if you let him go, there will be real hands following.
This was just like the previous "Serial Mission" to Chunfeng Town. Not to mention that Li Chengqian was in that historic site. Judging from the reports, Chunfeng Town at that time was indeed not a dangerous place.
Compared with the "super-terrestrial mission" undertaken by Yi Xifeng, it is indeed much safer.
However, the leader of this mission turned out to be a captain-level guard Tieyi who I had worked with many people before. However, powerful warriors like Zhang Yanyan, Lu Huahua, and Zhou Di stayed in Yinren, which had to be done. The fair boy secretly guessed.
"Captain Gao, how long does it take to get to the official road?" Qi Chengcheng, who was following Yi Xifeng, couldn't help shouting.
At this time, he was carrying two large bags of luggage. It seemed that his old man was worried and asked him to take them with him before leaving.
Gao Ning raised his head and glanced at the path ahead, and roared back: "It's almost there. We'll be there in half an hour. Everyone, speed up!"
Since the Cloud Rest Day, there have been a lot less snowy days, but the mountains are still closed by heavy snow. It will take a few days, until the early Spring Festival, for the snow to begin to melt.
At this time, the snow will have melted, and it will be slippery or sticky to the feet when walking on it. If not for everyone's light work, it would be really difficult to move forward.
Yi Xifeng knew that when he reached the official road, he would be not far from the inn, so he could naturally rest. This place is already outside the scope of Yinren, and should be located in the north of Chunfeng Town. After climbing over the hills in front, we will reach Hongyan Town.
After they passed through Hongyan Town, entered Longxi Town, and then walked east, they entered Qingchuan County. This road is not slow. Everyone took a boat all the way upstream yesterday and got off the boat when they arrived in the north of Chunfeng Town.
It's not that the Chunfeng River doesn't enter Hongyan Town, but the terrain rises suddenly to the north. It's not like the relatively gentle water flow of Chunfeng and Yinren, so Yi Xifeng and his party had to walk.
…
Everyone was just busy walking, but Li Xintian, who was walking in the middle of the team, suddenly frowned. As an auxiliary detective in the team, she used her unique "Kun Eye" to monitor the surrounding movements in real time. .
Just now, a weak wave came from the southeast behind them.
At first, Li Xintian didn't pay attention. He said that the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, but it couldn't be stopped. There were many animals and ferocious beasts that did not hibernate. So it was okay to meet some big guys in the wilds of Chunfeng Town.
But this wave of fluctuations did not end there, but continued to intensify, and it was slowly approaching them!
"Everyone, be careful, something is coming from the southeast, and there are a lot of them!" Li Xintian said in a deep voice.
Gao Ning, who was walking in front, stopped and looked back at the fair-skinned little girl. He frowned, still hesitating whether to follow her advice.
After all, he didn't notice it at all, so for him to admit that his ability to perceive danger is not as good as that of a ten-year-old girl. If this was spread, it would be really... embarrassing.
There were not enough people behind him, but they reacted very directly. They turned around and formed their formations without waiting for Gao Ning's order. Yi Xifeng, Zhao Long, and Wang Bodang, the three of them, jumped up and landed in the southeast corner of the team. Zhong Lingxi, who was originally standing here, also drew out the blue moon-colored dagger at her waist.
After about half a cup of tea, Gao Ning's initially confused expression suddenly changed. He looked solemnly towards the southeast, where figures slowly emerged from behind the snowdrift.
"It turned out to be the Red Rock Snow Wolf!" Wang Bodang recognized those figures the moment he saw them.
I saw this group of white-haired wolves, but their eyes were scarlet. Each of them was more than two meters long, much larger and stronger than ordinary deciduous wolves! It is about the same size as the maple wolf in the maple forest south of Yinren.
Gao Ning also recognized this kind of beast and whispered: "Everyone, keep in formation. Let's retreat slowly. Do you see that hillside?" As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pointed at a hill not far away. The height is not high, but the slope is steep.
"Let's retreat there first and rely on the terrain to fight with them. Don't be surrounded by them!" It has to be said that the guard iron-clad captain does have two brushes.
At this time, Gao Ning's command was extremely correct. Even with his own strength, he was not afraid of being surrounded by the snow wolf. However, the method he proposed was indeed the best tactical plan at present, which could minimize the chance of team damage.
These Hongyan Snow Wolves came from the dense mountain forests of Hongyan Town not far away. Due to the closure of the university, Hongyan Town, which was not as rich in vegetation as Chunfeng Town, was even more scarce in food. So these snow wolves migrate in groups to Chunfeng Town every winter in search of food.
It has passed the Cloud Rest Day and has reached the last few days of winter. It happens that this is also the hungriest period for predators throughout the winter. So the group of two-legged beasts covered in "white hair" in front of us are extremely delicious just from the appearance!
In order to hide their tracks, Yi Xifeng and his party wore white cloaks, which made the hungry animals mistakenly think they were lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Qi Chengcheng watched these snow wolves approaching, but his heart was not disturbed at all. He is no longer the funny young man who was chased by wolves in the maple leaf forest. Although his cultivation level is the slowest to improve among the seven, and his level is also the lowest, but leaving aside these seven companions with abnormal qualifications, he He is also considered top-notch among his peers!
Looking at the ferocious eyes of those snow wolves, he said with some disdain: "You guys are not enough for me to practice my skills! If it were replaced by your King of Alien Beasts, it would be almost the same!"
Coincidentally, as soon as Qi Chengcheng finished speaking, a loud beast roar suddenly sounded from the mountain stream to the north! Deterrence everyone!
