Chapter 474 The meeting of the four giants
Tianyang County, in the secret place of Tianmu Sect.
Master Soul Demon came here again, lit a stick of incense, and awakened Su Tiannu's soul seal.
"What's the matter?"
"Lord Tiannu, that Zhou Qing appeared in Tianyue City. According to investigation, his division had left Tianyue County during the day."
"Ha." Su Tiannv chuckled and said:
"It really took no effort at all. How about the Black Cloud Town?"
"Sword Lord has definitely left. Because Fairy Caiyun has not appeared outside the Black Mountain, she has not been able to detect her whereabouts."
"It doesn't matter, just make sure that the sword master is gone. Don't pay attention to the Black Mountain Holy Land." The voice returned to its cold calmness.
“Get ready, let’s do it.”
Master Blood Soul bowed his head respectfully.
“Understood.”
“Prepare a physical body, and then I will go see this peerless genius.”
“Hui Tiannu, I’m ready ."
"Very good..."
The statue of the Goddess dimmed again, and the place fell into complete darkness, with only the sound of footsteps fading away.
……
In Tianyue City.
Zhou Qing is counting the gains from opening the treasure box today.
As expected of a county town, the center of a county, the treasure chests are generally of high levels.
Today, a lot of silver and gold treasure chests were opened, but the only two-color treasure chest was the one from the Yuan family.
Zhou Qing first looked at the contents of the gold and silver treasure chests one by one. They were all treasures used for bone refining and holy marrow cleansing. They were quite precious.
There are things that Zhou Qing can use now or in the future, and there are also things that seem to be useless, but it does not affect their value. They can be stored in the space ring, and they may be useful one day. .
He has gotten a lot of things from the treasure chest this month.
There are various resources to assist cultivation, including martial arts, Taoism, magic tools, weapons, materials, poisons, antidotes, etc.
So much so that he could open a spiritual grocery store.
Finally, Zhou Qing took out the thing that came out of the two-color treasure box. To his surprise, another tree came out.
This tree is as tall as a person, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and thirty-six green and small fruits.
Just standing in front of this tree and smelling the scent of the fruit, I feel that the real energy is flowing faster, the blood is boiling, and the physical body is also moving.
Although I cannot recognize the details of this tree, it is obvious that this tree is undoubtedly a treasure tree like the Yuanwu Treasure Tree. It can be continuously used and collected repeatedly after planting.
And it should also be a treasure tree that helps in martial arts practice.
Looking at this treasure tree, Zhou Qing looked incomprehensible.
"I didn't expect that I just gave away a Yuanwu treasure tree, and now I got another mysterious treasure tree right away. This is really..."
"You have to ask me to plant a tree. No. ”
Inexplicably, there was a feeling of regaining something in his heart.
The old ones don’t go away, the new ones don’t come, but they are replaced as soon as they come.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Zhou Qing doesn't care much about some treasures and can directly give them to people around him.
For others, some things are rare treasures, rarely seen in the world. If you can get one, you are lucky and it is the only opportunity in your life.
But in Zhou Qing's case, this statement is completely untenable.
With Golden Finger, if you get various treasures once, it is entirely possible to get them a second time, and even the ones you get later will be even better.
After all, the effects that Golden Finger can exert are mostly related to his realm.
The higher the realm, the better things you get will naturally be.
Therefore, there are some treasures that Zhou Qing would not feel bad about giving away at all.
He always has a chance to get better ones, such as the Underworld Young Pill and the Underworld Dragon, such as the True Dragon Blood Soul Stone and Dragon Pearl.
Of course, he would only be willing to give a treasure to someone he absolutely trusts around him.
If it was just a matter of friendship, he would rather feed some treasures to dogs (Yinhe) than give them to others.
For Zhou Qing, if he is poor, he can only take care of himself; if he is wealthy, he can only help his relatives and friends.
“The treasure tree found in the two-color treasure chest, no, maybe it should be called the sacred tree.”
This thing must be at the true blood level. Waiting for the future results, it will definitely be the same. The true blood fruit can help true blood warriors.
The value of this tree can be said to be ten times or a hundred times better than the Yuanwu Treasure Tree.
Zhou Qing thought briefly and made plans for this sacred tree.
"This tree cannot be left in the martial arts hall. Taibai cannot guard it, and no one in Taibai will be able to use this tree for a long time."
Marrow-washing level Taibai can hold on to the Yuanwu Treasure Tree, and even if he takes advantage of the environment of the Black Mountain Blessed Land to share the treasure fruit with the Yun family, it is harmless and will not let the Yun family have other ideas.
In the end, the power of the Marrow Cleansing Warrior in the Black Mountain Holy Land is nothing. Treasures of this level are also easy to obtain for the Black Mountain Holy Land, which is home to the Cave Heaven Paradise.
From Zhou Qing's several experiences in entering Black Mountain, it can be seen that marrow cleaning resources are nothing to the Yun family.
But the true blood tree's preciousness has skyrocketed, so it cannot be arranged at will.
True blood level resources in Cave Heaven Paradise are not like leeks that grow as they are cut. They are already on the table.
He didn’t want to use something like this to test the relationship between Taibai Martial Arts School and the Yun family.
Like Juezhen Divine Lord and the Three-Nian True King who newly joined the Black Mountain Holy Land, Zhou Qing certainly believed that they would not have the idea of a True Blood Divine Tree.
But it’s hard to say about the people below the Black Mountain Holy Land.
The most important thing is that in another ten years, no one in Taibai Martial Arts School will be able to use this tree, so there is no point in leaving it there.
"I will take it with me first, and when I go to Xuandu Temple in the future, maybe I can plant it there."
Zhou Qing thought silently: "Xuanfa Mountain is the top cave heaven paradise. The grade is better than that of Black Mountain, and planting it there is also good for the tree.”
Every disciple of Xuandu Guan Zhenzhuan has a Zhenzhuan peak, and this peak is under the jurisdiction of Zhenzhuan disciples.
When the time comes, planting this tree will also add some heritage to his peak without having to share it with others.
As for whether there will be anyone coveting him in Xuandu Temple...
He also has a backer in Xuandu Temple.
Even if Master Lu Qingmo fails to break through for the second time, he still has a senior sister who is an alchemy master in the underworld realm. After Lu Qingmo recovers, the underworld realm will be just around the corner.
It’s no problem to save a true blood tree.
Want fruit?
Then we can only deal legitimately with Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing can't eat much by himself, but he will gain more by trading with others in Xuanduguan.
The more I thought about Zhou Qing, the more I felt that this move was appropriate.
This is equivalent to the fact that although he has not yet arrived at Xuandu Temple, he has already found a way to make money for his True Legend Peak, so that he can continuously harvest true blood resources.
Putting away the unknown sacred tree, Zhou Qing felt happy.
"I can now call myself a rich man..."
"However, the two consecutive resource trees are beneficial to martial arts cultivation. I don't know if there will be a treasure tree that is beneficial to soul cultivation this month. , if it can be opened, then I will have the foundation for the development of my true peak."
Zhou Qing secretly looked forward to it.
The True Legend Peak of Xuandu True Legend is very particular and requires careful management. It is the foundation of power of every Xuandu True Legend.
Each True Inheritance Peak can recruit disciples and even guests.
There are some big peaks in Xuandu Temple, and masters from the Biluotongtian realm are stationed there, and the original bodies of those peaks are Zhenzhuan peaks.
In Xuandu Temple, there are few true disciples who are weak and have people under their command to obey their orders.
When the true disciple gives an order, people from the peak gather in response, and most things can be done smoothly without having to do it personally.
Before Lu Qingmo left, he told Zhou Qing a lot of public information about Xuandu Temple, which gave him a general understanding of the place.
After putting away the sacred tree, Zhou Qing calmed down and practiced with peace of mind.
One night passed, and then Zhou Qing continued to search for the treasure chest.
Looking for treasure chests in Tianyue City is not as comfortable as in other counties.
The fundamental reason is that there is a large defensive formation here. It is heavily guarded at night, making it difficult to do sneaky things.
For the treasure chest, Zhou Qing haunted various places in Tianyue City.
What he didn't know was that Ye Zhong had been paying attention to him. After learning that he had not listened to his advice and left Tianyue City as soon as possible, his eyes became dark.
"Alas..."
In the end, Ye Chong sighed. No one knew what he was thinking.
Another day passed, and Zhou Qing was once again on his way to the Ghosts and Gods Division.
He was a little confused and didn't understand what Ye Chong wanted to do.
Yes, it was Ye Zhong who asked someone to invite him to the Ghosts and Gods Division again, saying that there was something important.
But obviously when we had dinner together last night, we didn't talk about anything serious. Why did something suddenly happen today?
When he arrived at the Ghosts and Gods Division, Zhou Qing met Wu Duguan of the Dingwu Division, which surprised him. Zhou Qing said hello, "Wu Duguan."
"Zhou Xuanyou? Are you also in Tianyue City?"
Wu Duguan was slightly surprised. Judging from his words, he didn't expect to see Zhou Qing here at all.
Zhou Qing's heart moved and he was a little confused.
Compared to the two departments of the imperial court, the Dingwu Department and the Ghost and God Department, there is a big gap in intelligence work.
Guishenji knew that he was coming yesterday, but Dingwuji still knew nothing about it.
Should this be said that the intelligence personnel of the Wu Division are lazy, or should it be said that the people of the Ghost Division are too busy?
"Tianyue City came yesterday." Zhou Qing asked:
"Wu Duguan came to the Ghosts and Gods Division at this time, is he looking for something to do with Mr. Ye?"
Wu Duguan shook his head, "No, it is Ye Duguan looking for something to do with me."
"Oh. ?" Zhou Qing followed up and said:
"I am also the one Mr. Ye sent to find me, saying that he has something important to discuss."
After saying this, the two looked at each other, looking for them. Is it the same thing?
Zhou Qing said in a deep voice: "Perhaps it is indeed an emergency."
"I will know the specific matter when I see Ye Duguan." Wu Duguan walked in first, and Zhou Qing followed.
Although the two of them did not have much friendship, they could still chat for a few words.
After entering the Ghosts and Gods Department, you can occasionally see some ghosts and gods personnel walking in a hurry, very busy.
However, compared with the first time Zhou Qing came to the Ghosts and Gods Division, the Division is much deserted now, and many people have been sent to various places.
When they arrived at the special reception area of the Ghosts and Gods Division, they saw two people already sitting inside, chatting and laughing in a relaxed atmosphere.
One of them was Ye Chong, and the other was a beardless man wearing an official robe.
Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that this person was the Sheriff of Tianyue County, Sheriff Chen.
So here, the three giants of Tianyue County are all here.
Well, there is also a peerless genius.
So, is this a meeting of the four giants in Tianyue County?
The giants of Tianyue County came here, and I also came here, so I am equal to the giants of Tianyue County, which is reasonable.
As the only peerless genius in Tianyue County and the master disciple of the only prefecture-level martial arts gym, he is called a giant. Is this okay?
Looking at this formation, Ye Chong probably did have something important to say, otherwise he would not have easily gathered the few people present.
Zhou Qing walked in and naturally exchanged pleasantries again.
Sheriff Chen also knew Zhou Qing and was quite polite in his words.
Although Zhou Qing is only in the rank of seventh grade, the world still values strength and talent after all. It is impossible for Chen, the boss of the county, to disdain Zhou Qing, a peerless talent born in the local area. After looking at it, I got to speak kindly.
Chief Commander Chen also has some cultivation, but his level is not high, he is only at the bone refining level. He is incomparable to Ye Zhong and Wu Duguan.
This is the current situation of the three giants in various states, counties and counties. For the heads of government at all levels, cultivation is not the most important, but governance ability is.
Martial arts have Dingwu, Dao has ghosts and gods, and there are troops to dispatch. It doesn't matter if your own strength is inferior.
Of course, it’s okay to have less strength, but you can’t live without it.
In the extraordinary world, it would be too dangerous and extremely unstable for someone without any power to be an official.
With cultivation, you can spend more time dealing with official duties, and you can persist longer in an emergency.
For someone with the level of cultivation of Governor Chen, if he stayed up for several days and nights, he would not be as good as a normal person, and his body could fully bear it.
The imperial court is still a thief in this regard. It regards practitioners as officials and is not afraid of sudden death from overwork.
Really, as long as you can't do it to death, you will do it to death.
Zhou Qing and Wu Duguan sat down respectively. Ye Chong invited them to a banquet, and he probably planned to talk while eating.
After the greetings, Zhou Qing asked directly:
"Mr. Ye, I wonder what brings you to us?"
"Oh." Ye Zhong sighed. tone.
"It's not because of the current problems in Tianyue County. I have recently found some clues and am investigating them. Maybe I can find out some of the evil behind the scenes."
"Is that true?" Sheriff Chen was overjoyed.
"If we can really trace the evil behind the scenes, then maybe we can end the chaos in Tianyue, and then Ye Duguan will be the first to do it!"
No matter what happens, There is no need for him, the county governor, to search for evil spirits in various counties, but the Tianyue incident is indeed a serious concern for County Sheriff Chen.
None of the three giants can stay out of the matter. The Tianyue chaos cannot be solved for a long time, and they will definitely be held accountable afterwards.
Wu Duguan also nodded in agreement, "This is good news. I wonder if there is any need for our help?"
"Ye Duguan may come forward, but Wu will definitely not refuse."
Zhou Qing also said: "Yes, if there is anything you need help with, Mr. Ye, just ask."
Before leaving, Lu Qingmo told him that if he could, if it was convenient, he could try to help Ye Chong. , he kept it in mind.
Ye Chong shook his head and said: "There is no need to trouble the three of you about this matter. I just want to communicate with you and inform you so that the three of you don't have to worry too much."
"Some things need to be kept secret. It's hard for Zhou Xuanyou to get involved in this matter alone."
"Understood." Wu Duguan nodded.
Zhou Qing and County Sheriff Chen also looked like I could understand.
They felt that what Ye Zhong said about keeping secret was not to keep it secret from them, but to keep it secret from the people below.
Even if Ye Zhong takes care of the clues and Wu, Governor Chen has said that it is impossible for the two of them to leave Tianyue City to pursue the investigation, and they will only arrange it for the people below.
Of course there is no problem with the two giants, but it is hard to say for the people below.
It is impossible that there are traitors among the three giants of Tianyue City, right?
"You three, let's have something to eat first." Ye Chong said with a smile:
"I invited the three of you here, but they are all tight on time. I'm afraid they haven't eaten yet. Just right."
Ye Zhong took the initiative to use his chopsticks. Naturally, Zhou Qing and the others would not refuse and would follow suit.
"Ye Duguan, this table is quite impressive." Wu Duguan said with a smile:
"They are all spiritual and medicinal materials. This time it really cost you money."
No. Well.
Every dish on the table exudes inspiration and is full of color, aroma and taste. They are all the kind of medicinal food that is estimated to be beneficial to spiritual practice.
The wine on the table is also full of spiritual energy, and it is probably brewed with some kind of spiritual creature.
However, given Ye Zhong's status, it would not be out of place to eat at such a table.
There are different specifications for each level.
“Ha.” Ye Chong smiled.
"I will give you a grand reception for the three of you. You three, if you drink this cup, I am sure that I will end the chaos in the sky and the moon in the shortest possible time!"
"Okay. ! ”
Zhou Qing and the other three people all nodded and raised their glasses. Ye Zhong should be really confident in what he said.
Drink the wine in one gulp, the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth, and your body feels warm.
The four of them are all good practitioners, so drinking will definitely not delay official business.
This is another benefit of having a practitioner become an official. You are not afraid of drinking and getting into trouble.
Practitioners are really the best beasts and horses!
But for Zhou Qing, he still prefers tea to drinking.
But it doesn’t hurt to do it occasionally.
Just for Ye Chong’s face, he had to give it.
Chief Chen exclaimed, "Good wine!"
"Bang!"
He heard another noise, and then saw County Sheriff Chen lying on the table, seemingly unaware of his identity.
Both Zhou Qing and Wu Duguan laughed, and the latter even laughed and said:
“When did County Sheriff Chen’s drinking capacity become so bad? Ye Duguan, your wine is really... ..."
Wu Duguan suddenly stopped talking and his expression changed. Zhou Qing's expression also changed drastically. When he thought of the key point, his heart was turbulent and he could not calm down.
As for spiritual wine, how could a bone-refining warrior get drunk after just one cup?
There must be spiritual wine with such effects in the world, but it is definitely not something that Ye Zhong, the director of the Ghosts and Gods Division of a county, can obtain and bring out on such occasions.
The higher the "degree" of the spirit wine, the higher its grade, and the greater its help in cultivation.
Ye Chong’s wine can never reach this level!
Looking at Sheriff Chen who had fallen on the table and was no longer breathing, Zhou Qing and Wu Duguan looked at each other, their hearts froze, and they immediately looked at Ye Chong.
The smile on Ye Zhong's face has disappeared, leaving only a calm look on his face, but the hearts of Zhou Qing and Zhou Qing have sunk to the bottom.
There is only one truth of the matter...
But how is this possible?
