As soon as he finished speaking, a large cloud fell from the sky and fell on everyone's heads. As the girl made the seal in her hand, the clouds dispersed, and a large ship suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The boat is about thirty feet long, with no curtains or sails. It has a three-story palace building and is decorated with clouds and seals and wind patterns.
The girl turned into a stream of light and flew to the uppermost hall and stood there. Seeing this, the others boarded the boat one after another with their weapons, each looking for a place to live.
Under the leadership of Wang Qing, the five Yuan and Qing people found five adjacent rooms on the second floor near the bow. The room is quite spacious, measuring three feet square, with incense burners, tables, screens and couches. There is also a small formation. After careful inspection, it should be used for sound insulation.
Seeing that everyone had boarded the ship, the girl turned around and walked into the palace. A huge magic circle is engraved on the sapphire ground. The patterns are tight and complicated, and there are several grooves in the array.
I saw her flipping her palms and taking out several spiritual stones, with sparkling light and compelling spiritual energy. With a gentle throw, the spirit stone fell into each groove accurately and fit perfectly. After the magic formula was played, there was a buzzing sound, and the spiritual light of the magic circle was released. Then clouds and mist began to appear, and the flying boat turned into a ball of blue clouds and flew away in the sky. The speed was extremely fast, reaching the horizon in just a few breaths, and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Qing looked around the room and set up the Liuyang Renshui Formation. Then he came to the deck and looked at the scenery outside the ship with Ling'er and others.
Suddenly, a cold female voice rang in my ears: "It will take you more than a month to travel, please do as you please."
"Brother Wang, who is this senior sister?" Liu Han asked after hearing the cold female voice.
Before Wang Qing could answer, he heard a deep voice: "This is Senior Sister Bai Zhi, the master's registered disciple." Then he saw an upright man wearing blue brocade with short beard and hair walking towards him. Next to him was a pretty-faced woman in red.
"Hahaha, Brother Han, you are here too. This must be your sister!" Wang Qing said with a smile when he saw the visitor.
The two smiled slightly, cupped their hands and said:
"Han Dongxing"
"Han Hongrui"
"I've met all of you brothers."
Everyone bowed their hands in return.
Han Dongxing glanced at Zhu Ling'er and said, "This must be Junior Sister Zhu Ling'er. Sure enough, Zhong Ling is handsome and has a beautiful heart." Then he turned to Liu and Li, raised his hands and asked, "I wonder who the two junior brothers are?"
"Liu Han."
"Li Yang."
Then he raised his hands to Wang Qing, Zhu Ling'er, and Yuan Qing and said, "I feel ashamed to say that I have never thanked these three for their help. Han has prepared a small amount of wine. If you don't want to throw it away, you might as well come to my room to talk about it."
When Wang Qing heard that there was wine, his heart moved and he responded.
Yuan Qing smiled lightly and said, "Yuan wants to meditate, so I won't go."
Zhu Ling'er also said: "My little sister still needs to adjust her breathing. Thank you Brother Han for your kindness."
Han Dongxing did not show any displeasure. He smiled faintly and said goodbye, and then went back to the room to drink with Wang Qing.
Han Hongrui had a cold look from beginning to end. She glanced at Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er intentionally or unintentionally, then turned and left.
The remaining four chatted for a while and then went back to their houses.
Yuan Qing returned to the house and sat down. He took out a white jade tube and placed it between his eyebrows, concentrating on it.
What is recorded in the jade tube is a concealment method, which was purchased from Chen Mu. I don't know whether he really has no talent for magic or some other reason, but the young man has been enlightening for several days, but his progress is still slow.
Speaking of which, Yuan Qing really made a lot of preparations since he decided to join the war.
First, he went to the Consul Hall to receive the ten-year offering, and then went to the Hall of Merit to receive the mission and see if there was anything he could change.
The mission description is quite brief, similar to what Xu Jingtian said, except that you can get merit points by killing monsters. The merits you get are related to the level of the monster you kill: fifty points for a second-level monster, fifty points for a three-level monster. Seventy-five points for level four, one hundred and fifty points for level four, one thousand points for level five...
After twenty years of seclusion and hard training, Yuan Qing still had more than 700 merit points, and except for a water-breaking sword, he had no other magical weapons.
Looking at the items on the list, they are a bit too expensive. Any skill requires hundreds of merit points, and a top-grade defensive magic weapon costs up to 700 merit points. Especially after seeing that a fist-sized piece of Taiyin Black Iron cost tens of thousands of [merits], the young man completely gave up on using merit points. Thinking of changing the magic weapon, he turned around and went out, heading straight to Tongbao Tower.
Tongbao Tower was already crowded, and it took two cups of tea before he arrived. When Chen Mu saw Yuan Qing, he still had a smile on his face, but he no longer used any words, he was straightforward, and he was very refreshing when negotiating prices.
While the two were chatting, Chen Mu specifically told Yuan Qing that he was also going to the front line, but instead of participating in the war, he was doing business and acquiring monster materials. He also promised Yuan Qing that the price would satisfy him.
Yuan Qing just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
In the end, the young man spent a fortune on his spiritual stones and bought several bottles of healing elixirs, several defensive talismans, a concealment method, a high-grade spiritual boat, and a cloud-silk moon-white robe. This robe is of the highest quality, it can avoid energy from water and fire, and its protective light is extremely tough, making it difficult to break through with ordinary means.
Returning to Qingyuan Residence, Yuan Qing put on his robes and went into the secret room to study the concealment method. It was not until seven days later that he put away all the formations and boarded the ship.
More than ten days passed in a flash.
Yuan Qing sat in the room, clasping his hands and mumbling something. Gradually, its figure became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into a shadow, as if it would disappear when the wind blew. The young man looked at his hands and nodded with satisfaction. His thoughts moved slightly, and with a flash of silver light, he returned to normal.
Afterwards, Yuan Qing took out the Broken Water Sword and placed it in front of him. He stretched out his palm and stroked the sword's body inch by inch. His palm was filled with silver light. The snow-white sword body gradually glowed with light and became crystal clear. The sword body also trembled slightly and made a low whine.
More than ten days have passed.
Yuan Qing put away the array weapon, walked out of the house, and came to the side of the ship. Although there are clouds outside the flying boat, the view from the inside is extremely clear and there is no sound of wind.
Gradually, the speed of the boat slowed down, and the scenery below changed from rolling hills and dense forests to abandoned soldiers and homeless refugees, dressed in rags, forming several long queues with no end in sight.
"With so many refugees, it seems that the disaster cannot be underestimated." Li Yang came to the boat at some point and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, I don't know what these people are going to do in the wilderness." Liu Han sighed and continued.
Zhu Ling'er sighed softly and stood beside Yuan Qing silently.
Wang Qing stood on the other side, picked up the gourd and took a big sip, looking into the distance and sneering.
Yuan Qing had noticed the arrival of the crowd early and did not look back. He just looked at the endless flow of people with sharp eyes, murderous intent in his heart and blood boiling in his body.
Not long after, all the cultivators on the boat came to the side of the boat one after another, looking at the bleak scene below, silent, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy for a moment.
Suddenly several wolf howls were heard, and then several green shadows were seen coming from the distant mountains and heading towards the crowd. When the people howled, the birds and beasts dispersed.
In the blink of an eye, a pack of wolves has entered the crowd, pounced on the left and bit on the right, and the ground was filled with mourning and corpses. There were brave warriors who picked up sticks and stones from the roadside and prepared to fight to the death with them. However, their physical endurance was far inferior, and their necks were bitten off after just a few encounters, with blood splattering three feet away.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Qing called out Duan Shui and was about to draw his sword. Suddenly he saw a white rainbow flying down from the top floor like a flying fairy from the sky. It suddenly turned into more than ten rays. In the blink of an eye, all the wolves were killed, and then they merged in mid-air. One, it exploded with a "bang" and turned into sweet rain and sprinkled on the refugees.
The people below all kowtowed and worshiped, calling for immortality. Some injured people, when encountering this sweet rain, will recover as before within a moment or three. When they get up from the ground, they want to thank the immortals for their kindness, but when they look up and look around, they can't see even a single cloud, let alone any immortals.
The spaceship continued to move forward, and the senior sister Bai Zhi remained silent. Yuan Qing's affection for him suddenly increased, and he thought that this is what monks like us should do. When we see an injustice on the road, we draw our swords and kill them. When the incident is over, we brush off our clothes and hide our merits and fame.
Zhu Ling'er had other thoughts at the moment.
In her view, all living beings are equal, and both humans and animals are living beings. Humans can kill animals to eat, and naturally they can also be used as food for ferocious animals. This is the principle of the cycle of cause and effect. Even though he couldn't remain indifferent to the Burial Beast's words, he would not help ordinary beasts preying on mortals. At this time, there are monks hanging high in the sky, who can determine their life and death with a snap of their fingers. So, is my cultivation level high enough to determine the death of all sentient beings with a single thought?
About a quarter of an hour later, the flying boat passed by a seven-mile city. The streets in the city were empty, the people did not leave their homes, and the soldiers and soldiers were all wearing strong armor, holding sharp swords, and were ready.
After traveling for more than ten miles, the flying boat stopped above a capital city that was more than ten miles square. The city was empty, there were no traders or lackeys, only armored soldiers guarding the city walls.
After a cold "Arrived", everyone got off the boat, each with their own magical weapons floating in the air.
Then I saw Senior Sister Bai Zhi make a seal, and the thirty-foot-long boat turned into the size of a palm in a flash of spiritual light. It landed on her hand, turned her palm and disappeared. Then Dun Guang led the crowd towards the palace in the center of the city.
In the main hall, a man over seven feet tall, wearing a purple robe and a majestic face stood with his hands behind his hands.
Bai Zhi walked up to him and saluted solemnly: "Senior Brother Mei."
The man returned the greeting solemnly: "Junior sister Bai, thank you for your hard work."
The rest of the people also bowed and saluted upon seeing this, saying, "I have met Senior Brother Mei."
After greeting everyone, the man said loudly: "I am Mei Xinyi, who temporarily takes over the post of pre-war chief. The city is named Xin'an, and it is the residence of my Xuanyuan disciples."
"Most of the beasts this time are ordinary ferocious beasts, and the rest are Qi-training and foundation-building realm monsters. They are all leaders of the beast group and give orders. Monsters above the pill-formation stage are extremely rare, and there are master masters and all the pill-formers. Senior Brother Qi is in charge, so you don’t have to worry. Your mission is to kill the demonic beasts below the pill formation stage in the beast tide, so that they will be leaderless. In this way, the beast tide will be defeated without attack."
"At this time, the herd of beasts is still a hundred miles away, and all the senior brothers in the alchemy stage have already gone to investigate. According to the speed, the troops will arrive at the city in three days. A large formation has been carved on the surrounding city walls. All junior brothers, please prepare early. On the battlefield, life and death are all matters. conceited."
"By the way, all the people in the city have been evacuated. The soldiers are camping in the west of the city. You can choose your accommodation in the rest of the city." After saying this, he cupped his hands and walked to the back hall with Bai Zhi, discussing something in a low voice.
Seeing this, everyone returned the courtesy and then dispersed.
Yuan Qing and others chose a courtyard in the south of the city as a resting place. It had rockeries, flowing water, wing rooms, water pavilions, and a small martial arts field in the backyard. It was quite similar to Yuan Mansion, which reminded him of the place thousands of miles away. hometown.
After the five people had a brief discussion, they each went back to their rooms to meditate and adjust their breath. Wang Qing flew around the house and set up two large formations before returning to his room with peace of mind and waiting for the three days.
Three days later.
A group of soldiers stood on the city wall wearing strong armor, united in spirit, and ready for battle. The multipliers of hundreds of foundation-building monks are floating on it.
After a while, I saw a black line rolling from the horizon. Then there was the deafening roar of the galloping beasts and the fierce roars of the beasts one after another.
Five miles before the city, the beasts stood still, like a group of well-trained soldiers.
A three-foot-long mottled tiger walked slowly to the front of the herd, looked at the towering city walls and the silhouettes of people in the sky, and let out a beast roar.
"Ouch..."
