Chapter 121 Qiu Xi
A flash of light flashed by, and the scenery suddenly changed before his eyes. An island suddenly appeared on the vast blue sea.
The island is long and narrow, like a horn, like a crooked moon, like a curved bow. It runs north to south. The widest point from east to west is only two to three hundred miles, but it is thousands of miles long from north to south. I really don’t know how the Xiao family managed to find such a big island. .
The island is dotted with tall mulberry and maple trees. It is autumn now, and although it is still green to the eye, it is also mixed with red and yellow, making it particularly colorful.
There are mountains and lakes on the island, as well as grasslands and dense forests. It is extremely wide. Under the cover of vegetation, you can vaguely see many strange birds and animals running around among it.
The two of them landed on a flat grassy area at the southernmost point, where many people, including young people, had already gathered.
Soon after the two landed, someone recognized Xiao Shiniang. After all, she was the sixth person in the work report. People who were worse than her expected to make a comeback in Qiuhuang. People who were better than her, I am also worried that her performance in Qiuyi will eventually surpass her.
Seeing that she had brought an unfamiliar man with her, everyone came to inquire about which expert she had invited.
Qingshen Mountain, Cheng Qingqing.
A name that no one has heard of.
Not long after, one hundred young Xiao family children were all sent out to take over the business and came back to report on their duties. One hundred people with other surnames were all helpers invited by the Xiao family children to help Qiu Yan.
Two hundred people, all present.
Cheng Xinzhan had nothing to do and looked around. Unexpectedly, at this glance, he spotted a few familiar figures.
They are all righteous disciples who fought in West Kunlun.
However, his current appearance is far different from what he was before or from the second half of his time in Kunlun, so he didn't come up to say hello.
He looked around, and unexpectedly discovered a special figure he had seen a long time ago.
He was a thin, tall man like a bamboo pole.
It's just that the face doesn't look right.
Such a coincidence?
Cheng Xinzhan used the Nine Suns to return the elixir pupils, and three elixirs flashed in his left pupil. The thin man's face was reflected in his pupils, slowly changing into a look familiar to Cheng Xinzhan.
The two cheekbones are high, covered with skin and bones, like a skeleton.
It's you.
Thin Taoist.
It was at this moment that the thin Taoist seemed to sense something and immediately looked in the direction of Cheng Xinzhan.
Unexpectedly, Xinzhan immediately closed his eyes and looked elsewhere.
"See the elders."
At this time, there was another shout of greetings, and a sturdy bald old man suddenly appeared in front of everyone. He carried a big bow behind him. He didn't know what state he was in.
"This is an elder of my Xiao family. He has been in the Three Realms for hundreds of years and is an expert in body training."
Eleven Niang explained to Cheng Xinzhan.
The bald old man faced everyone, raised his hands and said with a smile,
"Welcome all guests to Changqing Island to participate in the Autumn Festival Ceremony of my descendants of the Xiao family. To express my gratitude, I will give you a VIP badge from Hai Qingcheng."
The old man waved his hand and threw out many tokens floating in the air.
Immediately, many guests used their magic power to grab the token. This was the purpose of attending the Xiao Family Autumn Festival. With this token, they could get a 20% discount on purchases in Haiqing City, which was an extremely popular item.
When Cheng Xinzhan saw this, he also took one. He played with it and found that except for the pattern, the token was not much different from the one in Peacock City.
"Xinzhan, you have the token from the Lord's Mansion of Peacock City, which is much easier to use than this."
Eleven Niang said.
Cheng Xinzhan put away the token. This was not what he came for in the first place.
"The rules of Qiu Xi of our Xiao family are very simple. I believe that the son of our clan has already told you, so I won't go into details. After the arrow rings, you can show off your skills to the best of your ability!"
After that, the old man stretched his bow and arrow, and shot into the sky.
This seems to be a ritual passed down from ancient times.
The arrows whistled, and everyone flew towards the north like arrows off the string.
In the past two days, Xiao Shiniang has explained Qiu Xun's rules to Cheng Xinzhan clearly.
Changqing Island is as long and narrow as the arc moon. They set off at the southern corner. There were many spiritual beasts along the way, but they could only hunt the ones with white powder on their foreheads.
There were a hundred children of the Xiao family participating in the Qiuyi Festival, but there were only fifty spiritual beasts with white powder on their foreheads.
Moreover, the elders of the Xiao family will cast spells to drive all the spirit beasts on the island to the north. There is a forest within twenty miles of the northernmost land. Once the spirit beasts enter the forest, no one can go in to hunt.
Because there are few spiritual beasts to hunt, everyone is allowed to compete with each other, but no human life is allowed.
In addition, there are two wood spirits that are transformed from spiritual plants hidden in the entire island. According to Xiao Shiniang, there have been green snakes transformed from green bamboos, black bears transformed from pine trees, and mulberry trees. The buffalo reborn, the butterfly reborn from the spirit flower, appear different every time.
The importance of a spiritual plant that can turn into wood spirits is self-evident to those who practice the wood-marrying method. The rule of Qiuyi of the Xiao family is that whoever catches this wood spirit belongs to him. Whoever catches two wood spirits will not only get them, but will also directly become the winner of the hunt. If he catches one, it is equivalent to hunting ten powdered spiritual beasts.
However, the wood spirit is not powdered and is good at disguise, so it is no different from ordinary spiritual beasts. The Xiao family also stipulates that if the person caught is not a wood spirit but an ordinary spiritual beast, not only will there be no reward, but also a punishment. The biggest loser of the hunt.
Xiao Shiniang and Cheng Xinzhan were flying through the forest. Under them, a white dog was galloping. Listening to the sounds of the beasts escaping, the dog was very excited.
Cheng Xinzhan said, "Eleventh Mother, look at some powdered spiritual beasts. I will help you later, and I will go find the wood spirits for you."
Eleven Niang nodded and said yes.
However, few people had been able to catch Bojing in previous years, and she didn't have high hopes.
Cheng Xinzhan disappeared immediately after finishing his explanation.
Eleven Niang looked at his leaving figure and blinked. He said he was going to find the wood spirit alone.
Cheng Xinzhan disappeared from Eleven Niang's sight, used the Nine Sun Returning Pill Eyes, and searched carefully. However, he did not leave Eleven Niang too far. After all, he agreed to allow each other to compete with each other. If Eleven Niang was captured over there, If someone disturbs him, he can get over immediately.
Facts proved that his thoughts were reasonable. As soon as he left the cup of tea, he immediately heard the barking of his brother.
It only took him three or four breaths to rush over. As soon as he arrived, he saw four people surrounding Eleven Niang. They looked like they were two Xiao family members and two guest guests.
There was a blood mark on Brother Waiting's forehead, and he was roaring at the four people with his teeth and claws. The dog was protecting a sable, and there was a little white powder on his forehead. Brother Waiting must have bitten his neck, and he was lying there. There is only outgoing breath and no incoming breath.
"Eleventh Mother, why didn't your guest keep an eye on you?" A child of the Xiao family asked.
"But you are a pretty good dog. You have just discovered a spiritual beast. Why don't you sell it to me?"
Xiao Shiniang looked disgusted and did not answer. It seemed that the relationship between the two was not very good.
Eleven Niang's fighting skills are very interesting. She sprinkles a handful of seeds from the sachet around her waist and uses the wood method to activate them. As soon as the seeds fall to the ground, poisonous vines and peanuts appear. The poisonous flowers are sprayed with colored poisonous powder, and the vines Then follow the knives on Eleven Niang's hands, twist them like a snake, and whip them like a whip.
The man from the Xiao family threw out a net, which was made of copper coins strung on a red rope. Thunder fire moved on the red rope. When it covered Eleven Niang's spiritual plant, it immediately burned the spiritual plant to black.
The red rope and copper coins also contain thunder and fire. At this glance, you can tell that it is a treasure bought from Longhu Mountain. Things in Longhu Mountain have always been extremely expensive, and the Xiao family is indeed a wealthy owner.
The other Xiao family member is a woman, and her method of fending off the enemy is a magical fan that shoots out streaks of fire.
Eleven Niang cast the spell herself, while the other two relied on the power of the magic weapon and the ability of fire to defeat wood, and they instantly gained the upper hand.
The two guest ministers did not take action against Eleven Niang, leaving the Xiao family to fight on their own. However, when they saw Brother Waiting still protecting the spirit beast, disdain appeared on their faces. One of them threw out a silver-white talisman, like He used the knife to kill the dog, and the other used the capture method, using his magic power to form a big hand, as if he wanted to catch the dog and the sable together.
Waiting for my brother is not easy now. When he saw the two men's movements, he did not dodge. Instead, he opened his mouth to bite. A shadow appeared in the void, a vague giant beast. He swallowed the silver charm in one bite and then bit it. That powerful hand.

"Wow~"
In the forest, those people suddenly heard the sound of water.
They followed the sound and saw a large river rushing towards them.
Where did the river come from in the forest?
The river is somewhere between reality and reality. The sound of the water and the blooming waves make people feel near the river. However, the river passes through the trees without being affected at all, and it looks very unreal.
“Who is pretending?!”
Someone shouted, thinking it was an illusion.
Dajiang arrived in an instant. Xiao Shiniang turned her back to Dajiang and was the first to come into contact with Dajiang, but nothing happened.
"It's really a bluffing illusion, Eleventh Mother, is your guest here?"
The Xiao family laughed.
But his smile immediately froze on his face, because the river soon touched him.
The two Xiao family members fell into the river and immediately felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. White frost appeared all over their bodies, and they fell to the ground shivering.
The two guests were much more alert. When the river rushed towards them, they felt a cold magic power seeping into their bones before they even touched their bodies, and they ran away quickly.
But at this moment, sparkling waves suddenly appeared on the river surface, and the floating light jumped into the silver, like the reflection of the bright moon.
The next moment, the sparkling waves of light danced and gathered into a group, forming a clear moon shadow.
I don't know when, a bright moon appeared over the river, opposite the moon shadow. Even in the daytime, the bright moon exuded its gleaming brilliance.
The two people who escaped looked back, but in their eyes, what was hanging high in the sky was not the bright moon. It was clearly a sharp and cold sword intent, stabbing towards them.
They sacrificed their magic weapons to resist the moonlight, but as soon as they were delayed by this action, the river immediately swept over them. At this moment in the river, the two of them felt a new change. The river was not only cold, but the waves were clearly the sword energy pressing down one after another. The waves of sword energy continued continuously and formed a momentum, one after another. At the same time, there was a fierce sword intent in the sky, which was so overwhelming that the two of them were unable to resist.
"Fellow Taoist, please stop, we will admit defeat and leave now!"
one of them shouted.
As soon as the man finished speaking, the river and the bright moon disappeared instantly, as if it was really an illusion.
The four people who got a chance to breathe quickly fled.
In the direction from which Dajiang came, a young man with an average appearance walked over.
When Xiao Shiniang saw Cheng Xinzhan coming over, she naturally stopped kneading. She looked at her hands and thought, why did her method look like a joke compared to his?
"I know that I am good at controlling thunder and fire, and I am good at talisman swords. Why did water magic become so powerful?"
Eleven Niang asked curiously.
Cheng Xinzhan smiled and said, "The sage once said: After seeing each other for three days, you should look at each other with new eyes."
She smiled and replied, "Study the Fa with your heart and mind, and you can make a thousand miles in one day, let alone three days."
Eleven Niang fell next to Brother Waiting, wiped the mysterious light on her hand, and healed the wound on the dog's forehead. The dog bit the sable and handed it to the woman as if it were a treasure.
"Good dog."
Eleven Niang didn’t expect to achieve anything from the beginning.
So the two of them continued to move forward, but Cheng Xinzhan never left Eleven Niang to look for her alone.
After walking for another four to five hundred miles, after less than half of the journey, there was no gain at all. Then suddenly I saw crowds of people in front of me, and beasts roaring in the sky, as if they were fighting or chasing.
The two looked at each other and flew over.
Taking a closer look, I discovered that there were fifty or sixty people chasing the herd together. The herd numbered three to four hundred, including jackals, tigers, leopards, cattle, deer, horses, and sheep.
Cheng Xinzhan and Eleven Niang could tell at a glance that there were about ten people in the herd with powder on their foreheads. It seemed that the beasts were walking together as they were escaping.
The people who are chasing behind them now are like rat traps, and the beasts are stuck together. They dare not make a move, for fear of hurting the ordinary spiritual beasts, and losing the rice instead of stealing the chicken.
Cheng Xinzhan took a look and found that the thin Taoist was among them.
And just when Cheng Xinzhan looked at the Thin Taoist, the Thin Taoist also happened to make a move. He took out a flag that also looked familiar to Cheng Xinzhan. He waved the flag, and many beasts floated out of it. The soul comes.
However, a few years have passed, and the Slender Taoist's cultivation and magic weapons have obviously improved a lot. After the beast souls emerged from the flags, they gradually solidified, and finally fell to the ground like real spiritual beasts.
The beast souls that came out of the flags were all ferocious beasts such as tigers and leopards. After getting into the beast group, they went straight towards the dozen or so spirit beasts with powdered foreheads. Then, in full view of everyone, they opened their bloody mouths. Bite on the necks of those spiritual beasts.
A total of thirteen spiritual beasts with powdered foreheads were taken by the thin Taoist alone.
At this time, the real beasts walked away, leaving only the beast soul of the thin Taoist man holding the prey in his mouth and leaving.
The remaining people surrounded him with malicious intent.
When the thin Taoist saw this, he chuckled and didn't take it seriously. He waved the flag again, and hundreds of beast souls floated out from it, guarding the thin Taoist.
