Chapter 364 Followers
Lu Ye collected the cat demon's ghost and corpse, turned around in a circle, and relied on the fish and dragon diagram to avoid many Tianlun Sect searching monks.
While evading, he saw several spiritual energy fluctuations erupting in the air, and there was also a faint sound of mana and demonic energy colliding. It should be a fight between the Tianlun Sect and the big shopkeeper's men.
But all this has nothing to do with Lu Ye. He either ran away in a hurry or walked slowly. After an hour, he had returned to the cave in Linyunfang City.
Go back to the cave and throw out a few talismans to isolate the inside and outside of the cave.
Only then did he release the ghost of the cat demon again.
"Meow something..." The cat demon was also very stubborn, "Are you a human or a demon?"
"Is it a new race of our demon clan?"< br>
“I am the commander of the Whirlwind Demon Throne, how dare you kill me?”
Lu Ye refused to talk nonsense with this granite-headed cat demon, and a soul seed popped out.
After a while.
“Meow me dear...” The cat demon bowed his head in submission, “My subordinate Mao Keai has met his master.”
Lu Ye was speechless, he looked at the cat demon three times. Eyes confirmed that this is a male demon.
The name Mao Keai is really cute.
"Ahem..." Lu Ye coughed a few times, "Xiao Mao, who are you, tell me quickly."
"Who is the big shopkeeper?"
"What is the origin of the Whirlwind Demon King."
"What is the purpose of issuing the mission to hunt down Baibei Monk this time?"
The cat demon has been tamed by him at this moment, so he naturally tells everything he knows.
It turns out that the north of Huangsha Mountain is the boundary of Beishazhou, which covers an extremely large area. Although there is no shortage of spiritual veins, which is enough to support the practice and reproduction of monks and monsters, the land is much poorer than that of the Great Central Continent, and the number of mortals is also low. It's not at the same level as Great Central Continent.
In particular, the environment in this place is harsh and there are many extreme disasters. It has little impact on the monks and monsters, but it is too unfriendly to mortals.
The demon race is not engaged in production and needs more slaves and more big cities to obtain more resources for cultivating immortals. The grassland kingdoms established by the human race also have the same motive. In their eyes, Central Continent with a better natural environment It is a piece of fertile land.
Moreover, in the early years, the Great Central Continent was the place where the human and demon tribes had a decisive battle. The top fighting power of the two races caused the spiritual veins of the Great Central Continent to burst. Tens of thousands of years have passed and it has not recovered yet.
Simply put.
Great Middle-earth is a chosen land for mortals.
But for monks, the universal spiritual energy is still much worse than that of Sifangzhou.
Especially because of the natural terrain of the Chu State where Huangsha Mountain is located, it is almost one of the main places that all the forces in Beishazhou must pass through when going south. I don’t know how much monks’ blood was shed.
Every battle in Huangsha Mountain begins with friction, fighting, and bloodshed among the indigenous forces in the north and south of the mountain. As the forces on both sides continue to invest, at least it is within the scope of Chu State, and occasionally even most of Central Continent is involved. The situation is also the same on the opposite side of Beishazhou.
On the grassland, the forces of the human kingdom and the demon kingdom have been fighting for thousands of years. They attack each other on weekdays and are enemies of life and death.
When Ke Ruo went south to deal with the forces of Great Central Continent, he formed a group of ragtag people to reap benefits together.
It's just that they can't really unite into one force, and half of their strength is to guard against their "teammates". Otherwise, Chu State would have been destroyed countless times.
There are three major demon kingdoms in Beishazhou, namely the Luo Demon Kingdom, the Wind Demon Kingdom, and the Sun Demon Kingdom. There are many mountains inside each demon kingdom, and the demon kings cede their territories and govern themselves. Sometimes they attack each other, which is a chaotic order.
This whirlwind demon king is a golden elixir demon king in the Wind Demon Kingdom. He is a weasel who has become Taoist. He is hundreds of miles away from the Huangsha Mountain Northern Tianlun Sect and other forces, so he is a not-so-distant neighbor.
It has been the golden elixir for hundreds of years.
In the past years, I have gone south several times to reap the benefits, and I have repeatedly suffered losses in the Chu State, losing troops and generals.
Suddenly one day his mind suddenly opened up.
If you can't take advantage of the Chu Kingdom in Dazhongzhou, then you can devour the territory of the nearby demon king. The demon clan has always believed in the law of the jungle, and the big demon king above is too lazy to care about such things.
There happens to be a Black Tiger Golden Core Demon King in the south. He has always been an enemy, but he has an excellent relationship with the Tianlun Sect and is a die-hard ally.
In several battles between the two sides, the Tianlun Sect strongly supported the Black Tiger Demon King and ruined his good deeds several times.
The whirlwind demon king simply assigned his generals to come to Huangsha Mountain to cause trouble, to see if he could stir up the situation and let the Tianlun Sect and Jinshamen fight first and lose their strength, which would be better for him later. Don't jump out and cause trouble when slaying the Black Tiger Demon King.
In addition, he had suffered at the hands of Patriarch Huiding of the Tianlun Sect, so he was also quite interested in several of the true teachings of the Tianlun Sect.
The commander-in-chief came with the order and was worried about how to complete the Demon King's order.
It happened that Baibei Monk and others came out to judge, but it was a pity that these people fled south.
So the big shopkeeper simply set out to hunt down Baibei Monk. On the one hand, he muddied the Yellow Sand Mountains and triggered a war between the North and the South; on the other hand, he also hoped to obtain the true biography of Tianlun Sect.
Lu Ye understood.
This is a way for a third party to break in and launch a cold arrow from behind.
He then asked if the task of killing the Baiye monk was carried out by the big shopkeeper.
Mao Keai shook his head and said he didn't know. This was not the scope of his understanding.
The real name of the big shopkeeper is Huang Fenglang. He is the direct nephew of the ancestor Huang of Xuanfeng. He always acts cautiously.
This time, we only brought the three foundation-building leaders of Whirlwind Cave to handle the matter. The other people and monsters were recruited along the way. We don’t know their true identities. We just assume that these leaders are from the monster clan. Great calamity repair.
So if Tianlun Sect only catches some outsiders who don't know the inside story tonight, the big shopkeeper won't care.
Lu Ye was glad that he was right to pick a big man to capture the prisoner, otherwise he would have been blinded.
He asked a few more questions, and Mao Kaitai answered them wholeheartedly.
Lu Ye took Mao Keai back, touched his chin and muttered.
“It seems that if there is a war in Huangsha Mountain, it will be a big whirlpool.”
"The forces in the north and south of the mountain can't escape. People's brains are like dogs' brains. There are still many young people who want to cheat their teammates at any time. Maybe there are still oriole waiting to be killed and finally gain."
"Practice Qi is just a matter of time. Cannon fodder, Foundation Builder is considered an elite at best,"
"No, we have to find a way to take Furong out of here as soon as possible. If we fight together, many people will die."
Another half month passed.
With Ji Shiyu's old face, Lu Ye bent down and walked out of the cave, and walked slowly into the alley of the street stalls. He really walked smoothly and looked old-fashioned.
First, he said hello to Monk Zhenyin. After entering the alley, he smiled and greeted everyone.
Only this time most people called him Brother Ji.
After all, the monks setting up stalls in this alley are all Qi practitioners, and one look at his old face will tell you that he is over a hundred years old.
When he walked into the middle of the alley, he watched Su Li take out a lotus leaf bag, which smelled of glutinous rice, and handed it to Dan Yuanzi.
Lu Ye sniffed and wondered what kind of new breakfast Su Li had made.
Dan Yuanzi took it with a smile and returned the favor with a pot of home-brewed spirit wine.
Lu Ye smiled and nodded to the two of them and said, "Good morning, fellow Taoists."
"Good morning, fellow Daoist Ji!" Su Li returned the greeting.
"Brother Ji..." Dan Yuanzi said enthusiastically, "Brother, your wine was good last time."
"When it gets dark today, brother, come to my cave. Come together and taste the spirit wine I brewed. Although the craftsmanship is not good, it still has its own flavor.”
Lu Ye smiled and said that he had something to do today, so he would have a drink another day.
Half a month was enough for him to get to know everyone in the alley under Ji Shiyu's vest.
Although he couldn't squander the spirit stones as generously as Ling Yuanwen did before, he still became drinking buddies with Dan Yuanzi with his old face and the spirit wine prepared for A Chou.
When Dan Yuanzi saw Lu Ye's refusal, he didn't force it and agreed to meet again in a few days.
Lu Ye continued to walk forward.
He said he had something to do, which was not an excuse. The beast armor left at Master Mo's place tonight has been repaired and needs to be picked up.
This foundation-building treasure armor can be large or small. When worn close to the body, it is a half-body inner armor, and when mana is input, it becomes a full-body armor.
I'm used to wearing it all the time, but if I don't wear it these days, Lu Ye always feels like he's running naked.
In addition, he will go to meet his adopted brothers at night.
Contacted through Guijia yesterday, Shu Chitu said that through familiar disciples of the Tianlun Sect, it has been determined that Master Sanhei will lead his disciples to train with the Black Tiger Demon King, the ally of the Tianlun Sect.
Perhaps learning from the previous experience of Baiye Monk, which resulted in heavy losses for the temple's elites, the leader asked the team to increase their protective capabilities this time.
There are only so many nuns under the command of Master Sanhei, and they cannot change more. They transferred the people of this temple from the Tianlun Sect, but because of the recent Tianlun Sect's continuous memorization of characters, too many disciples have died. Not enough people.
It is said that the leader intends to recruit thirty casual cultivators from Xiafang City under the Tianlun Sect to go with them, but the conditions are harsh. The casual cultivators who join the team must be guaranteed by the disciples of the sect.
Lu Ye and his adopted brothers will meet tonight to see if they can find a disciple as a guarantee so that they can get into the team.
But it’s also a difficult thing.
Guarantors are not that easy to find. Who dares to be a guarantor for others if they don’t know the basics?
Ji Shiyu's vest has just arrived in Fang City in the middle of the month. Shu Chitu tried for a whole day but couldn't find a suitable Tianlun Sect disciple to act as a guarantor.
We will discuss this matter tonight.
Lu Ye pondered, if he really couldn't find a way out, he would have to kidnap someone else and pretend to be someone else.
His mind was racing all the way, and he was smiling on the outside, but actually he was full of thoughts when he arrived at his stall.
Neighbor Liu Yaoyao has already set up her stall.
A big futon sat under her thick waist and fat buttocks, which was pressed tightly by her figure, not even one edge was exposed.
"Fellow Daoist Ji..." She saw Lu Ye shouting exaggeratedly, "Yesterday you were gone for a long time, and the slaves looked at the stalls for you for a long time. A spiritual crystal trouble is now formed!" "We can It’s agreed, it’s a small business, no credit required.”
Lu Ye’s face twitched.
This Liu Yaoyou, that idea Yaoyou were all taken into consideration, down to the point of fussing over everything, and they really didn’t suffer any loss at all.
In the past half month, he came to let this woman visit the stall more than ten times, and the spiritual crystal made her a lot of money.
But if we talk about the friendship between the two, it is just like the first time they met. Apart from the spiritual crystal, there is nothing else involved.
On weekdays, there is no such thing as Dan Yuanzi and Su Li visiting the stalls for free, sharing spiritual food with each other, sharing news, and earning spiritual stones together; Liu Yaoyao focuses on exquisite self-interest.
Liu Yaoyao was like an iron rooster. She never plucked out a hair on weekdays. One time, she was drinking alcohol while hiding her eyes from others. In fact, she was feeding A Chou. As a result, the aroma of wine floated in Liu Yaoyao's nose.
The strong woman took it for granted that she drank three bowls of wine, but the next day she even wanted to drink more wine, forcing Lu Ye to say no more.
You must know that what A Chou stole was the good wine stored by Elder Wu. The price was not cheap.
If this woman had a good relationship with Lu Ye, it wouldn't be a big deal to buy her a drink for free. It's obvious that the two of them don't get along that much.
As soon as she heard that there was no more wine, Liu Yaoyao's smiling face turned into a cold face, with suspicion in her eyes.
Afterwards, Lu Ye just asked her to help look after the stall, and she only needed one spiritual crystal at a time. She really only wanted to see the stall, and she couldn't take it on credit.
When faced with a woman asking for yesterday's payment, Ji Shiyu's character is that of a hopeless person who is easy to talk to.
So Lu Ye took out two spiritual crystals from his arms and slapped them into the opponent's fat palm.
He said in a pretended helpless tone.
“Fellow Daoist Liu, I’ll give you two spiritual crystals.”
“I’ll even prepare them for next time.”
Liu Yaoyao's eyes flashed with joy when she saw two spiritual crystals entered into her account.
Then she frowned again.
Although it was good to get two spiritual crystals at one time, she felt a pain in her heart when she thought that she would not be able to collect the spiritual crystals next time she helped the old man Ji Shiyu look after the stall.
She is also quick-witted, rolling her eyes and speaking casually.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, how about I sell you a piece of news, and your spiritual crystal is considered as the news fee?”
Lu Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"No, no, no."
This Liu Yaoyao is crazy about spiritual stones. No matter how cheap information is in the market, it is calculated based on a few spiritual stones.
How can there be such cheap information about a piece of spiritual crystal?
Liu Yaoyao gritted her teeth, raised her brows, scanned the road carefully up and down, and said coldly.
"Hmph, you'll know if it's worth it or not after I tell you."
"This news is actually given to you for free, and the real big deal will come later."
"Look at you It’s not like life is easy, I’ll give you a fortune, but you have to give me the benefits!”
The attitude on Lu Ye’s face was cold.
This fat woman is so annoying. Is this uncle missing a spiritual stone?
What is missing is the opportunity to get close to Pan Furong!
Half a month is enough to establish a foothold in the market. Why don't you tell Zhenyin to leave Liu Yaoyao and set up a stall somewhere else.
Liu Yaoyao saw that Lu Ye had no objection, so she came over mysteriously, looking around with mung bean eyes, and lowered her voice.
"Do you know, Master Sanhei? The three chiefs of the Tianlun Sect... no, now he is one of the second chiefs, the foundation-building Dzogchen monk."
"She wants to lead her disciples Go and experience under the Black Tiger Demon King.”
"Although the Black Tiger Demon King has been an ally of the Tianlun Sect for many years, there have been many thorns under his rule, so it cannot be considered a peaceful one."
"This time the leader issued an order to let the three black masters follow the sect. Under the rule, thirty qi-training casual cultivators were selected from the city to serve as bodyguards. In fact, their job was to serve as handymen and bodyguards.” Just do it.”
“One spirit stone for five days, do you want to earn this spirit stone?”
“Is this news worth one spirit stone?”
"But as agreed, if you become a follower, I must share half of the spiritual stone reward for this round trip."
Lu Zhiyi was moved.
Good guy, Liu Yaoyao's information is quite good. He even found out the price of hiring casual cultivators, which is more comprehensive than what Shu Chitu found out.
What does the other party mean? Is there any way to find a guarantor?
His heart skipped a few beats, his face pretended to be displeased, and he shook his head.
"Why is this news worth just one spiritual crystal?"
"I don't plan to go. Who in Linyunfang City doesn't know the names of the disciples of the Three Black Masters?"
"Last time Baiye Buddha almost died in Huangsha Mountain, let alone a group of nuns running to someone else's territory?"
"The Black Tiger Demon King is a great golden elixir demon, so it is impossible for him to surrender his status as an escort. They are going all the way."
"A lot of people may die along the way. How about the leader, the ancestor, orders them to increase their manpower? This spirit stone has a life, so I'm afraid of losing it!"
"Whoever likes this job will do it!" Lu Ye stared at Liu Yaoyao, "Fellow Daoist Liu, I'm afraid you are not sending me a fortune, but sending me back to the west!"
"Besides, I just arrived. "How can anyone be willing to vouch for me?"
"You should return this spiritual crystal to me!"
"I have no use for your information."
Liu Yaoyao looked at the extra spiritual crystal in her hand, with reluctance flashing in her eyes, she slapped her thigh and blurted out.
"Isn't it just a guarantor!"
"I'll help you do it!"
Lu Zhizi was overjoyed, but on the surface he looked at Liu Yaoyao with doubtful eyes, deliberately showing disdain in his eyes.
“You?”
“Fellow Daoist Liu, I’m afraid you are not talking in your sleep!”
Liu Yaoyao was so angry that she slapped her palm on the ground and lowered her voice.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, do you know the surname of Patriarch Huiding before he became a monk?”
Seeing Lu Ye startled, she said proudly.
"Yes, it is Liu."
"Although my cultivation is not good, I have uncles in my family who are foundation-building elders, and I have a lot of Qi-training disciples."< br>
"As long as you dare to go, how about I find a guarantor for you?"
Lu Ye shook his head like a rattle.
"If you don't go, don't go. The Three Black Masters have a bad reputation and are unlucky."
"Fellow Daoist Liu, you have to go and do such a beautiful thing yourself!"
< br>Liu Yaoyao only felt a tightness in her chest. She was really angry. She felt that there were so many spiritual crystals in her hand that it was hot. She was so angry in her heart.
If she dares to go, why are she talking to Lu Ye here?
It is the Three Black Masters who look like the walking gods of death. It is too terrifying. Today, after the leader made a decision, after the internal news of the sect was fermented, it spread to the city, and there were only a few people who responded.
The main reason is that Master Sanhei has such a bad reputation.
Who dares to go with her with confidence?
Each of the foundation-building monks scratched their heads. They had no choice but to allocate one or two places to each of them and go back to select suitable candidates.
A foundation-building monk from the Liu family named Liu Yaoyao. She was not popular and had the right cultivation level, so she was the best cannon fodder candidate for the Liu family.
After hearing this today, Liu Yaoyao was shocked and frightened after eating thirty kilograms of meat.
She didn’t want to go, but she was reluctant to part with the free spiritual stone as a reward, and she happened to meet Lu Ye who gave her a spiritual crystal.
She felt uncomfortable when this spiritual crystal fell into her hand instead of into her pocket.
For this spiritual crystal, a flash of lightning flashed in her head, and she thought of a way to win more than one person.
Let this stingy old man named Ji go in his place.
In this way, the quota allocated by the foundation-building ancestor has been completed.
She doesn’t have to go to that dangerous place, and she can still receive half of the spiritual stones Ji Shiyu earns every month.
"I just said you were my cousin! On the contrary, my mother died early and no one else knew." Liu Yaoyao patted her chest and said.
"The foundation of the Liu family is my fourth grandfather, I have a way to get him to provide a guarantee!"
"Fellow Daoist Ji, this opportunity must not be missed, it will never come again!"
"I only need half of the pumping water. How could there be such a good opportunity to earn spiritual stones in the past?"
"There are three Master Hei is here to protect you, this is like a vacation!”
