Early the next morning, a corvee notice came from Yachai in Yinyuan City. Xu Jin convened a group of villagers in Humiao Village to discuss the candidates for the corvee.
In the meeting hall, Liu Qingyi suddenly took the seat. He had repeatedly pushed back, but he couldn't resist Xu Jin and others, so he had to half push and sit on the spot.
Naturally, all the villagers in Humiao Village are very happy. It is of great significance for the entire village to have a spiritual enlightenment person in one village. It would not be wrong to say that it represents the future of the village and even the confidence of the entire village in the future. Pass.
Xu Jin looked at Liu Qingyi from time to time, and felt more than once in his heart that it was such a blessing for the whole village that Ah Gu and his daughter were able to rescue Liu Qingyi.
Liu Qingyi could feel the change in the Murakami's attitude towards her. There was still a hint of awe in the special intimacy. Even Luo'er and Agu's mother and daughter had been treating him a little strangely in recent days. Although they still spoke and acted as usual, I always feel that there is some unspeakable gap.
Liu Qingyi also felt a little helpless when she thought that the ideas of immortals and mortals having separate paths and the distinction between world and world were deeply ingrained in the minds of people in this world.
When almost everyone in the hall had arrived, Xu Jin coughed lightly, raised his hands, and asked everyone in the hall to be quiet for a while, and announced loudly: "Fellow folks from Humiao Village, Yinyuan Chengya sent a message today. After receiving the notice, it is still a corvee job as usual, and we will gather in the city tomorrow."
As soon as Xu Jin said this, some villagers shouted: "Why is it another corvée? Didn't we just let it go in the first half of the year? How long has it been, and we are still letting people live!" Some emotionally excited villagers even He began to curse the Lord of Yinyuan City and others.
Xu Jin patiently listened to the complaints, and after everyone calmed down a little, he continued: "This time the expedition is a little different from the past. It's just a small area of collection, not the time-consuming and labor-intensive hunting of animals in the past. It's just All it takes is one person from each village." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall became completely quiet.
Xu Jin looked at everyone's reaction and said solemnly: "Although we are recruiting only one person this time, we are going to the depths of Mangdang Mountain to collect something. Now let's discuss who to send for this corvee mission?"
Everyone just heard that only one person was needed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Now when they heard that they were going to work deep in Mangdang Mountain, they all became dumbfounded.
During the previous trip, several families volunteered to go, and the results were obvious to all. This time, they had to go deep into the Mangdang Mountains. It was almost the same as committing suicide. Who would want to go through this hellish gate.
Liu Qingyi made up his mind, stood up and said to Xu Jin: "Village Chief Xu, I don't think there is any need to discuss this corvée, just let me go." As soon as he said this, the brief silence was immediately broken, and everyone They all said, 'How can this work? ''Brother Liu, don't take risks. 'Wait a minute.
Xu Jin ignored everyone and asked, "Brother Liu, are you sure you can go?"
Liu Qingyi smiled and said: "Saving one's life shouldn't be a big problem, so I might as well take this opportunity to try it out."
Xu Jin said with some gratitude: "I'm so sorry for you! Murakami has been working as a corvee and being robbed by red scarf thieves for more than half a year. After being hit one after another, seven or eight of the ten households are injured. Indeed, no matter what, We can’t afford to lose anything. All you need to do is keep yourself safe while you’re here, just pay your dues."
Liu Qingyi replied: "Village Chief, you don't need to say more, it's safe for me." Xu Jin didn't say much. He just told Liu Qingyi to meet at the village early tomorrow morning, and then let everyone disperse.
After returning to the wooden house, Liu Qingyi sat cross-legged on the wooden bed alone, operating the green flying sword to circle back and forth in the house.
It was not in vain that he practiced all night long in the space at the bottom of the lake these days. The progress of the magic and sword techniques in the booklet can be said to be a thousand miles away. A flying sword can be used almost like an arm. In the words of his previous life, it can be done. Take the general's head in the formation of ten thousand troops.
With this sharp flying sword control technique, he has a stronger support, which is also the reason why he dares to take over the job alone.
Thinking that he only had one day to practice, he did not go to the space at the bottom of the lake to practice, but simply practiced the flying sword technique, then took out a gold-embroidered bag and a small black flag from under the bed and placed them on the stone platform. Two other things obtained from the Master's Cave.
He picked up the gold-embroidered sachet that looked like a sachet and considered it carefully. He could almost conclude that the sachet was closely related to the cyan flying sword, but he still had no clue.
While playing with the bag in his hand, he pondered: "Since this bag is a thing of the Immortal Family, its use can be done in the Immortal Family's way. The heat in my body can be used to practice and perform immortal arts. I think it should be regarded as the same as the Immortal Family's Taoism." They come from the same source, why not try this thing with it?”
After thinking about it like this, he immediately circulated the warm heat in his body, slowly flowing from his arms into his palms.
When the hot flow touched the sword pouch, Liu Qingyi suddenly felt the palm of his hand tremble slightly. The pouch opened with a snap and made an unusual sound towards the blue long sword on the bedside. The long sword disappeared. Without a trace.
Liu Qingyi was horrified and approached the bedside to look for it. Naturally, the cyan flying sword had disappeared. He rubbed his eyes, then lifted up the sword pouch in his hand and took a closer look. He found that its appearance and weight had not changed in any way. I couldn't help but wonder.
It wasn't until he started to use the heat in his body to rush towards the sword pouch again that the inside of the sword pouch was revealed in his mind. The green sword was lying in the sword pouch alive.
This shock shocked him inexplicably, and he didn't understand why such an unreasonable thing happened. According to the rules of physics, this small sword bag could not accommodate the seven-foot long sword.
He then thought about all the strange things he had encountered after coming to this world. They subverted his cognition, so he smiled to himself and was no longer surprised.
Eliminating some distracting thoughts in his mind, he began to open and close the sword pouch. After a while, as his thoughts moved, the cyan flying sword continued to be released from the pouch, hanging in the air for a while and disappearing again like a magic trick.
After a long time, Liu Qingyi reluctantly put the green sword back into his bag and hung it on his waist in a precious place. He turned to look at the black flag with an eager look on his face and thought to himself: "This is The sword pouch is so useful, I think this black flag will not be any worse."
He took the small black flag and held it in his hand, and followed the same pattern to drive the heat flow in his body towards the black flag. When he suddenly touched it, the black energy on the flag flashed suddenly, and the heat flow rushed into it instantly. Bounced away.
Liu Qingyi reluctantly tried a few more times. As soon as the heat in her body came into contact with the black flag, it was all bounced away by the black energy on the flag's surface. It had no effect at all, and she couldn't help but feel surprised. Strange: "Could it be that the way this thing is controlled is different from the things from the Immortal Family?"
He carefully recalled the scene where Master Hua Gu used this flag that day. He thought that after Master Hua Gu used the same black flag to summon a ghost shadow and was killed, he then sprayed a mouthful of blood on the flag banner and then transformed into another form. Three ghost figures came out and speculated: "Does it need some blood to make it work?!"
With the idea of giving it a try, he bit his finger hard and pointed it towards the flag flag. Almost instantly, he felt that he had established some kind of connection with the black flag.
"Hey, does it really work?"
The next moment, when he once again caused the heat flow in his body to flow towards the black flag, the black flag suddenly glowed with black light, and in the blink of an eye, a ghost with two horns hatched from it, but it was the ghost summoned by Master Bi Hua Gu. It is much smaller, only more than one foot tall.
Liu Qingyi followed his thoughts, and the ghost rushed towards the outside of the wooden house. With a "crash", a big hole was knocked out of the small wooden house, and half of the roof began to collapse.
Seeing that the ghost was so destructive, Liu Qingyi hurriedly raised the black flag to contain the ghost, and walked out of the house in disgrace. Looking back at the wooden house that had become a mess, a wry smile appeared on his face, but he felt sad in his heart. I am looking forward to this ghost a little more.
He thought that Master Huan Gu had used this flag to refine the souls of mortals, and thought in his mind: "It seems that the ghost in this black flag is probably a product of another world. Since the production of this flag is time-consuming, laborious and damaging, Yin De is also a legendary ghost technique in the underworld, so it must be quite powerful."
After pondering like this for a moment, he went back into the mostly collapsed wooden house. After rummaging around for a while, he came out with a booklet in his hand.
This booklet was obtained from the fairy magic book in the cave of Master Hua Gu. After he memorized the magic and sword skills in this book, he secretly hid it in a corner of the house, almost Already forgotten about it.
He was standing in front of the wooden house at the moment, with one hand gently stroking the words "Introduction to the Spiritual Forging of Wuwujianzhai" on the booklet, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.
If he hadn't stumbled into the cave in the nameless mountain by chance and obtained this booklet, he didn't know when he would be able to step into the legendary realm of immortality that he dreamed of.
He lowered his head and looked at the booklet and thought to himself: "If you go, you will go, and if you come, you will come. You should walk freely without wandering around." He mobilized the heat in his body to activate the 'Spiritual Flame Technique', and his hands sprouted from the ground. A fireball as big as a soybean burned the booklet into ashes and floated in the air in just a moment.
After a long while, he turned sideways and looked at the collapsed wooden house, stretched out his hands to straighten the corners of his clothes, and carried the black flag down the mountain.
