Chapter 45 The building is empty
After leaving Mujiao Town, Song Qingming walked all the way north.
This time when he came out to practice, Song Qingming was not in a hurry. He walked and stopped along the way. When he encountered interesting places, he would stop and play. It was the spring equinox, when everything revived and flowers bloomed everywhere. This journey allowed him to see many beautiful scenery that he had never seen before.
Song Qingming secretly made a determination in his heart. If one day he succeeds in cultivation, he must leave Weiguo and take a good look at the world of immortality.
On his last trip to the Fuyun Mountains, Song Qingming had a thrilling journey. He had no time to stop and appreciate the scenery. When he returned to Qinghe County from Guiyunfang, he was also in a hurry in order to prevent his tribe from worrying about his safety. On the way, we returned to Funiu Mountain early and had no intention of watching the beautiful scenery along the way.
Twenty days later, he crossed Pingyang County and changed his route to the northwest. By the time he walked slowly to Guiyunfang, more than a month had passed. The entrance to Fangshi was the same as three years ago, and he still had to queue up for verification. You can enter only if you have your identity, but there seem to be a few more monks guarding the door than three years ago, and the interrogation is more detailed than last time.
After entering Fang City, Song Qingming inquired and found out that in recent years, a group of demon cultivators have come to the Fuyun Mountains and have harmed many fellow monks. In order to prevent them from mixing into Fang City, Xiaoyao Sect This intensified inspection efforts.
Mo cultivators are those monks who practice strange and weird techniques from other worlds. After practicing these techniques, the monks often have a drastic change in their character. They will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Some special techniques also have the strange ability to control others. There will even be blood sacrifices to mortal monks and other acts that are against the laws of heaven.
The monks in this world deeply hate the demonic cultivators. Once traces of the demonic cultivators are found in the Wei Kingdom, the Xiaoyao Sect will often go to war to wipe them out. However, the demonic cultivators are cunning people, and Being good at hiding among the mortals in the mountains often makes these large sects work in vain.
Song Qingming wandered around Guiyun Square for a while. The market was not much different from three years ago. Soon he came to the shop where he bought the Taixu Sword three years ago, but unexpectedly The scene in front of him made him a little depressed. The grocery store where he bought the magical artifacts had now been replaced by a shop selling various spiritual beasts, and the owner of the shop had also been replaced by a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard.
Song Qingming checked carefully and made sure that he was looking for the right place. Then he stepped forward and asked: "Boss, is the Fellow Daoist Li who was here still there?"
"Fellow Daoist Li, which one is there?" Fellow Daoist Li, I am not here There is no guy surnamed Li. I am probably looking for elixirs, but he has given me this store a long time ago. If you want to find him, just walk a hundred steps forward to find him," said the middle-aged man. Wan also pointed to a pill shop diagonally across the street.
"Elixir, wasn't this a grocery store originally?" Song Qingming looked at the direction he was pointing, and became even more confused.
After taking some time to ask questions, Song Qingming found out that the original "Li's Grocery Store" had long been empty, and that the store had now been replaced by several owners. ,
Hearing the news, Song Qingming couldn't help but tremble in his heart. This Yuxuan Sutra Skill He already had a deep understanding of the mysteries of the Dharma. He originally wanted to come here to find out who the master was who had stored the Taixu Sword in the past. However, he seemed to have arrived a little late. Now the place was already empty. I don’t know if the original shop owner knew that there was a skill hidden in the sword.
Song Qingming asked around in the surrounding streets with some reluctance. He was not unfamiliar with the master and apprentice pair who opened a shop here three years ago, but they only knew that these two people were in a master-apprentice relationship. They seemed to be from other places. The casual cultivator usually only runs this small shop. After asking around, no one knew where these two people had gone. Now it seems that it will be difficult for me to find the answer to this question in a short time.
Even if they were worried that they would come to settle accounts, they didn't have to move the entire store. Seeing that it was getting late, Song Qingming left here feeling a little disappointed and found an inn in Fangshi to stay. Song Qingming, who was lying on the bed, was still thinking about this matter. Now he even had some doubts that the two people had deliberately hidden this technique in the sword.
Now that I have inherited this technique, I have also felt the mystery of the Jade Mystic Sutra. If it was really those two people who intentionally passed it on to me, they can be considered his. Preaching to my mentor.
The next morning, Song Qingming left the inn early and came to Fangshi again. Along the largest street in Fangshi, Song Qingming came to a square in the east of Fangshi. A lot of monks have gathered on the square. They are either in groups or alone like him, all staring closely at the position in the middle of the square.
This is the place in Guiyunfang where monster hunting missions are released for monks. There is a tall circular wall in the center of the square. The walls are full of missions for hunting monsters and purchasing elixirs. Various tasks are posted on the wall. Such monster information.
From the first-level monsters in the initial stage of Qi refining to the second-level monsters at the peak of foundation building, as long as they are close to Guiyunfang, the first- and second-level monsters will be included, and the third-level and above monsters will be included. Magical powers are already equivalent to those of golden elixir monks among humans. They generally do not appear near Guiyunfang. They are active deep in the Fuyun Mountains. Guiyunfang naturally does not dare to offer bounties to monsters of this level.
In the information that has been released, not only will the places where the monsters move are marked, but also information such as characteristics and weaknesses will be written one by one. The valuable items on these monsters will also be specifically noted. This is also to facilitate the monks who accept the mission to make some preparations in advance before setting off, so that they can better complete the mission.
For this reason, Xiaoyao Sect also specially recruited a group of monks in Guiyunfang to go deep into the Fuyun Mountains to explore the information of these monsters. Then a dedicated person would bring this information together, and according to the characteristics of the monsters The level, difficulty and other information as well as the corresponding reward spirit stones were finally released to this square.
Fang City clearly stipulates that any monk, whether he is a direct disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect or a casual cultivator, can receive the released mission as long as he successfully completes the mission and brings the required tokens here. Marked reward stone.
Guiyunfang is the largest city in the north of Xiaoyao Sect. There are no less than a thousand monks living in it, most of them are casual cultivators. After taking over tasks in the city, these casual cultivators formed large and small demon hunting teams, and then Going deeper into the Fuyun Mountains to hunt monsters also brought Guiyunfang an unusually prosperous scene.
The reason why Guiyunfang does this is to attract more monks to hunt monsters here, weaken the number of monsters in the Fuyun Mountains, and prepare for future monster turmoil.
Song Qingming had already inquired about some information about Bianfang City when he came here. His purpose of coming here was to find a place where he could go out and hunt monsters to exercise himself.
After wandering around the square for a long time, Song Qingming made up his mind and planned to start practicing with tasks that were easier for him. He found a few relatively simple mid-level monsters in these tasks. After the beast, Song Qingming was about to walk to the center of the square to take over these tasks, when a voice suddenly sounded beside him.
“Fellow Taoist, please stay a moment.”
