Chapter 73: What the Qingshui Sect saw
Back to Xiaoliang Mountain.
Li Mu cast a spell of wind and rain, watering the eleven acres of spiritual fields with spiritual rain.
Then, Li Mu flew towards Qingshui Town with his sword.
Along the way, Li Mu was cautious, slowing down, and his consciousness was always monitoring the surroundings.
When Li Mu met Wang Feng this time, he realized that the guy hadn't given up yet and the matter was far from over.
Li Mu couldn't help but want to take action to completely solve this problem. However, when he thought about the last deacon disciple Xu Lijin's death not long ago, if something happened to Wang Feng again at this time, the sect would definitely send someone down. check.
Li Mu endured it for the time being and remained vigilant at all times. Soldiers would come to block him, and water and earth would cover him up to see what other moves he could come up with.
……
An hour will pass
Li Mu wielded his sword and looked down from a high position. He saw a large river ten feet wide, with turbulent waves, flowing westward.
There is a small town located on a relatively flat area by the river. There are nearly 10,000 stone houses of different sizes in the town, which are scattered in an orderly manner. They are 'cut' in half by a main street. The ten-foot-high city wall clearly separates the contiguous wooden shed areas outside the town.
Outside Qingshui Town, wooden stilts are connected one after another. The farther away from the stilt area, the sparser the density of the wooden stilt area, and there are spiritual fields of different sizes scattered around.
This town is Qingshui Town. It looks bigger than Qing'an Town. A lot of spiritual fields have been cultivated. However, for some unknown reason, there are many wastelands suitable for cultivating spiritual fields, but No reclamation.
Li Mu had a thought in his mind. He was not going to go directly to the sect’s headquarters in this town. He planned to learn about the situation in Qingshui Town first.
Li Mu landed near a remote spiritual field outside the town. He took off the robe of an outer disciple of the Qingxuan Sect and changed into a black robe commonly worn by casual cultivators. Then, he walked towards the town and entered through the west gate.
Li Mu, like other monks in Qingshui Town, paid the entry fee and entered Qingshui Town.
Walking into the town, there are various shops on both sides of the street, selling various goods, monster meat, spiritual weapons, leather armor,..., there is a dazzling array of things in front of you. There are also shops selling food, wine and food, etc. Those making pancakes... those bargaining, those introducing products, those greeting guests... all kinds of voices came together, making it extremely lively.
“Boss, here’s half a pound of braised venison, half a steamed goose, and a bottle of red ginseng spirit wine.” Li Mu walked into a busy wine shop, found an empty seat and sat down, looking at the menu on the wall. , greeting the shop owner to order.
"Hello! Please wait a moment, sir!" The shopkeeper responded and started to work.
After a while, the waiter carried a wooden plate and placed the meat and spiritual wine in front of Li Mu one by one.
"Shopkeeper Chen, follow the old rules and serve the dishes."
"Shopkeeper Chen, there are three servings, you can make arrangements."
"Shopkeeper Chen, the bill is settled. ! Lingshi is on the table.”
……
The owner of the restaurant is an old man in his sixties. He must have been in business for a long time. The business is very good and there are many regular customers. When the owner is too busy, the regular customers skillfully order meals, pay the bill, and find seats by themselves.
Li Mu was eating meat and drinking wine alone, listening attentively to the conversation of several casual cultivators at the next table, and indirectly learned about the situation in Qingshui Town.
"Youyan Valley, you can't go now! Two more people died yesterday."
"How did they die? Killed by the Youyan group?"
"No, He was killed by the second-order Black Feather Eagle!”
"How could it be? Where did the black-feathered eagle come from?"
"They came with the swimming geese! Every year during the breeding season of the blue spirit fish, the red-headed swimming geese will come to Youyan Valley to lay eggs and nurse their young. "Child, this is also the breeding season for Black-feathered Eagles." "There are several Black-Feathered Eagles! I also want to take advantage of this period to catch more geese and earn some spiritual stones."
“Everyone thinks so, but that is the second-order Xuanyu Diao, and if it encounters a small life, it will definitely not be guaranteed!”
“Why won’t Qingxuanzong step in to deal with it! If the Xuanyu Diao What to do if we attack the city?”
"How to deal with it? It takes at least two foundation-building monks to capture a black-feathered eagle. One male and one female require four foundation-building monks. I don't know how many black-feathered eagles there are. Where can there be so many foundation-building monks in Qingshui Town? "
"Oh! The demon wolves have just been driven away! The Xuanyu Eagle is here again. It's going to be too difficult!"
"Who would say otherwise! Now, Qingshui Town has been overrun by a swarm of monsters.”
…
“Have you heard that the Chen family discovered a mineral vein, and the prospecting team encountered a swarm of monsters when they returned to the family to report. Most of them were destroyed.”
"I've heard about it a long time ago. The Chen family's prospecting team discovered a cold iron mine in Xiaoling Mountain. The news was passed back by the Ling family's insider. Then, the Wang family got the news from the Ling family. The three families are making trouble!"
"Wow! So that's it! What's going on with the three families now? Will there be a fight?"
"We can't fight, because the Qingxuan Sect is suppressing it! The mineral veins must be developed according to the old rules, Qingxuan Sect After occupying seven levels of income, other foundation-building families will compete for a share of the rest. This is not the case any time. The three foundation-building families are ready to fight for the share of the mineral veins. "
"I don’t know about this cold iron! Is the vein big? It would be great if it were a large vein. Maybe Qingxuan Sect can send a few more foundation-building disciples down, so that we don’t have to worry all day long!”
“Yes! Some time ago, a group of inner disciples entered the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains and have not come out yet.”
"After passing Lingtian Mountain, there are countless monsters in the mountain. They must have all turned inside."
...
"I almost told you this time, Brother Lu, the hunting practice is too dangerous. I want to quit!"
"Okay! Let's go after this drink!"
"Brother Lu?"
"There are no good opportunities. I have a brother who catches spiritual fish and has a good harvest. I want to give it a try!"
......
Li Mu drank spiritual wine and ate delicious monsters. Meat, with his ears raised, listened to the guests at the next few tables chatting quietly while drinking wine. All kinds of hot topics about Qingshui Town fell into his ears one by one.
The situation is similar to what Li Mu expected. The environment in Qingshui Town is much more dangerous than Qing'an Town. The nearby Lingshan Mountains, deep valleys, mountains and forests, and even the bottom of the river are filled with all kinds of monsters. However, because Its rich cultivation resources have attracted a large number of casual cultivators to come here to make a living.
This is also the reason why the wooden shed area outside Qingshui Town has expanded again and again, and its scale seems to be much larger than that of Qing'an Town.
Li Mu ate meat and drank wine. He stayed in the wine shop for more than an hour and indirectly obtained a lot of information about Qingshui Town.
It was confirmed that the three foundation-building families in Qingshui Town were fighting for the share of the mineral veins. Nangong Hong, the disciple in charge of Qingxuanzong in Qingshui Town, used this opportunity to mediate among the three foundation-building families. The fighting style of the Ji family.
Now that mediation has failed, Nangong Hong has become the fair host of the three foundation-building families’ dueling rituals, and his status in Qingshui Town has risen sharply.
Li Mu learned a lot of information and confirmed one thing. This senior brother Nangong has a very powerful mind and methods. He is not at all like Wang Feng, a fool who forgets about danger and does not investigate his true combat power. If you dare to kill him.
Moreover, knowing that something cannot be done and still looking like you want to fight to the end is simply a fool.
"Waiter, check out!" Li Mu called the waiter, put down ten spirits on the table, turned around and left the restaurant.
