Chapter 65 Exorcism, Enemy Coming
The Ning family bowed to each other, and Wei Zhong accepted this little guy. However, there was no guarantee of accepting a disciple. Ning Cankun was very satisfied with this and talked a lot with Wei Zhongxu.
Including the fact that the Ning family was attacked by their business partners, and how many spiritual stones they lost this year, the cultivation of the children in the family cannot satisfy them. At this critical moment of life and death, various branches of the family began to fight, competing for the last bit of family wealth...
In short, it was a scene of the end of the family.
When Ning Cankun proposed to leave, Wei Zhong stuffed the other person with a storage bag, which contained spiritual stones, spiritual wine and other spiritual objects that were of little importance to Wei Zhong.
"Brother Ning, please accept your kindness from an old friend."
The corners of Ning Cankun's mouth wriggled, and the wrinkles on his face became tight. He lifted up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Brother Chu, take care!"
"Take care!"
Watching him leave, Ning Jiaqi knelt down and couldn't stand up for a long time.
‘This meeting may be our farewell forever. ’
Ning Cankun chose to take care of him at this time, probably because he realized that his time was running out. It was inconvenient to involve Wei Zhong in the affairs of the Ning family, so he only entrusted him with one of the younger members of the family.
Wei Zhong was filled with emotions for a moment. As time went by, his former friends left one by one, and if he continued to live longer, would he really end up alone in the end?
Looked back at Xie Linghua and Ning Jiaqi who was kneeling beside her.
"Get up. Since Uncle Ning asked you to hand you over to me, I will naturally take responsibility."
Wei Zhong took out a jade slip and a storage bag.
"This skill book is called "Xuanmu Jue". It is a high-grade yellow grade and can be practiced up to the late stage of foundation building. There are also some training resources in the storage bag. Don't let down your Uncle Ning's expectations. , practice well.”
After saying this, Wei Zhong handed it to him, who took it and kowtowed a few more times.
Wei Zhong helped her up helplessly: "There is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. I don't have the habit of watching people kowtow. All this is what I should do as an elder."
"Linghua , find a place for him to settle down.”
"Yes, sir."
Wei Zhong nodded and left.
Despite Ning Cankun's entrustment, Wei Zhong did not immediately think of accepting him as his disciple. Giving him a training method and providing training resources was Wei Zhong's greatest kindness.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he will perform well in the future, and Wei Zhongsheng has the intention of accepting a disciple.
‘However, the fire and wood spiritual roots are suitable for alchemy. Don't be in a hurry, just consider his character before speaking. ’
From this day on, there was an additional member on Black Lake Island. When the servants heard that he was the descendant of their master’s friend, they were immediately very enthusiastic about him. For a time, the half-grown boy became the most beloved person on the Black Lake Island.
The good times did not last long. More than a year later, the bad news came that Ning Cankun had passed away.
Wei Zhong took Ning Jiaqi to the Ning family to bid farewell. Seeing Ning Cankun lying in the coffin, Wei Zhong felt regretful.
Seeing that several members of the Ning family were quarreling over the family property, they suddenly became very upset and took action to suppress all the troublemakers in the Ning family.
“Don’t make any noise during a funeral.”
Awed by Wei Zhong's foundation-building power, the Ning family, a Qi-refining family, finally stopped briefly and continued the funeral process.
The Ning family, who was born in the mortal world, has maintained its past customs to this day, such as wake-up, burial, funeral, and burial in the ancestral land of the Ning family.
Ning Jiaqi accompanied him on his last journey while wiping his tears.
"Is there anyone you care about here?"
Ning Jiaqi nodded, then shook his head: "My parents died in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains when I was young. Uncle Ning was the general I've been pulling it till now..."
When Wei Zhong heard this, he knew that his life in the Ning family was not good. All the immediate elders in the family were lost, and all relatives were suppressed. I am afraid that he would not be able to enjoy the treatment that the young disciples in the family should have. Only Ning Cankun treated his wife. There is support.
Now that Ning Cankun is gone, he is just a stranger from the Ning family.
Wei Zhong said no more, waved his green boat and turned it around.
After returning to the island, he passed on his alchemy skills: "The island will support your practice for up to ten years, and you will have to work hard to get any treatment in the future."
Ning heard this. Jia Qi also seemed to have put down the big stone in his heart and bowed down:
"Thank you Master Chu for your kindness in preaching. I will live up to Master Chu's high expectations."
Later, I heard Wei Zhong's voice in my ears: "It's a little early to call Master now. I'll wait until I become famous." Think about it.”
When he looked up, Wei Zhong was nowhere to be seen.
In the cave, Wei Zhong held the spirit wine and murmured: "I didn't expect that the little guy is still an upright person. He doesn't want to owe others friendship. He is considered mature. He may be able to go further in the future."
It is said that his alchemy method was purely an unintentional intervention by Wei Zhong. The art of alchemy can only rely on inheritance and self-study without a master to lead the way, but it is very rare.
Wei Zhong sighed a few words and then fell back into practice.
This long practice seems to have brought Wei Zhong back to the time when he was farming in Qingmu Sect, peaceful, peaceful and undisturbed.
It wasn’t until one day that a letter came from the Qingmu Sect, which interrupted Wei Zhong’s practice.
It is not persecution, but advice.
“The demon cultivator is raging in Mangyuan Mansion, and the situation is getting more and more serious. I hope all cultivators will travel cautiously to prevent falling into the hands of the demon cultivator...
They also intend to invite fellow Taoists to jointly form an exorcism team to be responsible for the security of a nearby area. "
'The Qingmu Sect is annoyed by the demon cultivators. Do they want to completely clean up the surrounding areas?'
After calling Xie Linghua, I learned that the situation is serious now. Not only the demon cultivators in Mangyuan Mansion As there are more cultivators, there are also more robber cultivators.
In the past few years, Black Lake Island has gone to Fang Market several times to sell spiritual items, but they were stopped by robber cultivators, and not only one of the spiritual items was taken away. Let’s go, even the monk responsible for the transportation ended up dead, and the operation of the spiritual island was in trouble because of this.
“It seems that I have to take action. I took a look at my cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building. Wei Zhong also felt reassured, knowing that he would be safe if he didn't meet the Nascent Soul cultivator. ”
[Cultivation: Fourth level of foundation building (31%)]
[Lifespan: 167/275]
Eleven years have passed since Wei Zhong retreated. During this period, Wei Zhong Zhong successfully broke through to the middle stage of foundation building, and thus gained twenty years of life.
This makes Wei Zhong feel more confident. With three levels of Taoism, he can reach the middle stage of pill formation, which is enough to deal with the large and small forces in Mangyuan Mansion.
While Wei Zhong was thinking about the exorcism team, he heard the Ning family asking for an audience.
In eleven years, the latter has grown from a child to a young man, and bows to Wei Zhong as soon as he sees him. Then he held out a pill bottle in his hand.
"Living up to Uncle Chu's high hopes, Jiaqi can now refine Qi-nourishing pills."
Wei Zhong was slightly surprised. He took the elixir bottle and opened it to find that it was actually a Qi-nourishing pill. And it’s still mid-range.
Seeing Wei Zhong's expression, Xie Linghua on the side also chuckled: "The master was really foresight when he taught the alchemy method.
Jia Qi's talent in alchemy is beyond ordinary people. Starting from the simplest blood-strengthening pills and Bigu Pills, it only took five years to successfully refine the Qi-Nourishing Pills. Now, it is possible to stably refine the middle-grade Qi-Nourishing Pills, adding another output to Black Lake Island. ”
‘I didn’t expect that my unintentional intervention would actually bear fruit. ’
Although Wei Zhong himself has successfully refined the Qi-nourishing Pill, it is not stable. He can only succeed once in ten times, which is a compliment to Wei Zhong.
Furthermore, the difficulty of Qi Nourishing Pill is not low among first-level pills, it is about medium difficulty. Now that it can stably produce middle-grade Qi-nourishing pills, it can be called an alchemy genius in the outside world, no, even in a pill-forming sect such as Qingmu Sect.
Looking at his cultivation again, he found that he had reached the third level of Qi Refining, and it seemed that he was not far from the fourth level of Qi Refining on the next level.
Wei Zhong coughed twice, put the elixir in Xie Linghua's hand, and turned to look at Ning Jiaqi: "Although the elixir refining skills are good, we must not slow down in cultivation. In the end, this world of cultivation still relies on Strength speaks.”
It seemed a little inappropriate to say this, so he said to Xie Linghua: "The second-level spiritual beings on the island should be opened to them appropriately. I guess they have now reached the point of studying the second-level elixir recipe."
Hearing Wei Zhong's words, Ning Jiaqi quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Chu." "How about arranging a marriage for him? I think Senior Li's disciple would be a good choice."
Wei Zhong was shocked. Calculating that the Ning family Qicai was only in his twenties, considering his extraordinary longevity. Yuan Li is just a young boy.
‘Are you starting to think about his marriage? ’
As for the disciple of Senior Li he mentioned, it was a girl that Li Haowen accepted a few years ago. She had three spiritual root qualifications, among which the golden spiritual root was the middle grade.
Compared with Ning Jiaqi, he is about the same, and he is only a year or two younger.
"Let the young people handle this matter by themselves. If the two of us are of the same mind, I will take charge of it on behalf of the elders."
Ning Jiaqi smiled after receiving the answer. It seems that this matter is close to ten.
Then he retreated, Wei Zhong, Xie Linghua and others exchanged pleasantries before leaving the island.
Outside the island, Wei Zhong lowered his hand for a moment, and there was a sudden wave of wind and waves on the lake, and a round black bead flew out of it.
It is the Yuan Shui Bead that Wei Zhong has been refining for many years.
Holding this bead in his hand and feeling its weight, Wei Zhong knew that the level of the Yuan Shui Bead at this moment had reached the second-level mid-grade level, and was not too far away from the high-grade level.
Take it away with a wave of your sleeve. This exorcism trip should start in a complete state.
Looking at the nine colors in the cave sky, Wei Zhong gave up the plan of traveling with it.
‘It’s better to keep a low profile. ’
Hiding his cultivation until the early stage of foundation building, Wei Zhong released the green boat and rushed towards the place.
The destination of this trip is the Chen family’s residence on the edge of Haiyue Lake. The Qingmu Sect’s foundation establishment in charge of exorcisms over the years is stationed here.
When Wei Zhong arrived, there were already many people waiting.
“I’ve met Elder Xu! I didn’t expect that Elder Xu is responsible for exorcism here.”
This person was none other than Elder Xu who originally invited Wei Zhong to become the guest minister of the Qingmu Sect. The latter was not surprised when he saw "Chu Zhong's" face. Apparently, he had already found out the information about "Chu Zhong" very clearly.
"Fellow Daoist Chu is here a little late. Let me introduce you to you," Xu Changjun pointed to the other people seated and began to introduce them one by one from left to right.
"This is Fellow Daoist Li Haowen and Li from Haiyue Lake. Fellow Daoist Chu must be very familiar with him," and then pointed to the second person, "This is Fellow Daoist Chen Guisong of the Chen family."
The third person is a Kun Dao: "This is my Qingmu Sect guest minister Wan Xiu'e Wan Daoist. The exorcism in Haiyue Lake and its surrounding areas was carried out by five people including me."
When Xu Changjun introduced a few people to Wei Zhong, Fellow Daoist Chen kept staring at Wei Zhong coldly. After the introduction was completed, he said coldly:
"A man actually sneaked in among the monks and me. A century-old turtle, I just hope that fellow Taoists will not be greedy for life and cause trouble for us."
Wei Zhong frowned, not understanding why he was hostile to him.
“Ahem,” Xu Changjun coughed twice, “If Fellow Daoist Chen has a personal grudge with Fellow Daoist Chu, they can resolve it privately after this mission is over, and we will have to work together later. It’s better not to talk about these impacts at the moment. It's about unity."
Chen Guisong didn't dare to displease Xu Changjun, who was in the late stage of foundation building, so he stood up and handed over his hands: "I made a mistake."
Turning around to look at Wei Zhong, he didn't have a good expression and sat down directly.
Wei Zhong sat down and heard Li Haowen's message. Only then did we learn that it was Wei Zhong's protection of the Li family in the past few years that made the Chen family unhappy.
Now that the Chen family heard that Wei Zhong’s backer Zhenzhuan in the Qingmu Sect had fallen, they showed their malicious intent.
Wei Zhong turned his head and wrote down the face of the monk surnamed Chen, thinking that he would give him some color later while Xu Changjun was away.
Seeing that Wei Zhong did not get angry on the spot, Xu Changjun nodded and took out a map.
"Fellow Daoist Chu has just arrived here and is not clear about the process. I will tell you once again that we will patrol the juniors who are free to practice Qi on a daily basis.
We, the foundation builders, only patrol once a year to solve the problems that the juniors cannot solve. trouble, or take action when the situation is serious."
Then he circled a large area on the map including Black Lake Island.
The female cultivator surnamed Yu on the side couldn't help but said: "Once a year? Is this frequency too high and affects our normal practice?"
Xu Changjun replied: " During this special period, please be patient with fellow Taoists. If you find it difficult to accept this, the five of us can also be divided into two teams
In order to prevent you from being harmed by demon cultivators and calamity cultivators, you must go together during each patrol. The four Taoist friends are all in the early stage of foundation building. At least three of them must go together, and the remaining one can follow me.
This is once every two years. Are you satisfied with this? "
Yu Xiu'e nodded after hearing this.
The remaining Wei Zhong and the other three will naturally not object.
"In this case, let's allocate the team members. Yu Daoyou can Would you like to come with me? ”
The female cultivator named Yu nodded.
Chen Guisong was suddenly speechless.
Getting together with two people who are both in the early stage of foundation building is naturally not as safe as following Xu Changjun, who is in the late stage of foundation building.
But who makes the other party a guest of the sect? In total, he is still half of his own family.
Chen and Li are just subordinate forces of the Qingmu Sect, and Wei Zhong is an idle cultivator.
In comparison, Yu Xiu'e is still closer to the Qingmu Sect.
"Okay, the assignment has been completed. This first patrol will be carried out by me and fellow Taoist Yu. The three comrades can turn around. Be prepared these days to strengthen your own strength and don't fall into the trap of the demon cultivator easily. In the hand."
Wei Zhong handed over his hands, looked at each other and left together.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, you and I will have to work together in the future."
"Exactly, there is a gap between Chen Guisong's old nose and mine in life, so I'm afraid it won't be of great use." I am obsessed with cultivation and neglect fighting. I am afraid that I am not as skilled as fellow Taoist Li in terms of fighting skills. I hope that fellow Taoist can help me a lot in the future.”
"Friend Chu, my words are serious, the best thing is to help each other..."
After a polite meal, we went back to the island together.
Xu Changjun's arrangement did not have much impact on Wei Zhong. On the contrary, avoiding this monk in the late stage of foundation building made it easier for Wei Zhong to use his true skills.
‘There is still one year before the next mission, so we should practice more on the Black Water Spirit Clothes. ’
Less than a month later, Li Haowen brought news that caught Wei Zhong off guard.
When Xu Changjun and Yu Xiu'e were exorcising demons, they encountered a hidden pill-forming demon cultivator. After some resistance, they both almost died. If the master of the Qingmu Zongfa Hall hadn't arrived in time, the two of them would have become demons. Repair the souls of your dead men.
This made Chen Guisong and Li Haowen very happy. Fortunately, Elder Xu did not ask the three of them to patrol first, otherwise the three of them might have died directly at the hands of the pill-forming demon cultivator. They couldn't wait for the Qingmu Sect. The Lord of the Pill Palace has arrived.
"I didn't expect that the situation has declined to such an extent. Apart from the Qingmu Sect, has the Yan family not taken any action?"
Li Haowen shook his head: "In recent days, the Yan family has been shrinking in its own territory. , recuperate and have no intention of getting involved in this matter, and even the secret struggle with the Qingmu Sect has stopped."
Wei Zhong guessed in his heart that this was probably the intention of the Gathering Chamber of Commerce. If he doesn't help demons cultivate, he will naturally not stop the Qingmu Sect from exorcising demons.
"This is troublesome. How can we and other small foundation builders fight against the Demonic Cultivator of the Pill Formation? Can the Master Yu kill the Demonic Cultivator of the Pill Formation?"
"No, it is said that it was only injured. The alchemy cultivator was extremely cunning and had good escape skills. He disappeared after escaping."
Wei Zhong raised his head and said, "So, the seriously injured alchemy cultivator was hidden in Haiyue Lake. It's really a disaster, a disaster nearby."
Li Haowen also smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Brother Chu, don't worry, Hall Master Yu has been searching for this person nearby, and he might be found and killed... ··”
“Well, you and I should stick to the formation and wait until this matter is over before we do anything else.”
The latter nodded: "Fortunately, I heard what my fellow Taoist said and purchased a set of formations. Otherwise, I really don't know how to protect such a large area of the Li family..."
After some discussion, Li Haowen Leave. Now that this pill-forming demonic cultivation has occurred, the patrol task no longer needs to be mentioned.
Wei Zhong clung to the formation, but thought in his heart:
‘I hope that demon cultivator will not come to my Black Lake Island, otherwise I will have to kill him. ’
·······
What is surprising is that the matter of cultivating the Demonic Pill Formation is like water floating in a lake, stirring up layers of waves and then disappearing without a trace.
The Master Yu of the Qingmu Sect failed to find his figure after searching for many days, so he had no choice but to return.
The exorcism patrol continued. This time the person leading Wei Zhong and others was no longer an elder named Xu, but a deacon of the inner sect of the Qingmu Sect who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
His name is Ma Yongzuo. He is a fat, middle-aged man. He has the cautious words and deeds of a casual cultivator and is very cautious about patrolling.
In two years, he led Wei Zhong, Li Haowen, and Chen Guisong to destroy multiple demon cultivators' hiding places and killed several demon cultivators of the same level.
"These demon cubs are really hard to find. They are all hidden among these Qi Refining families," Chen Guisong said after waving his hand to kill the fleeing Qi Refining Demon Cultivator.
Wei Zhong replied: "There is nothing we can do. These Qi Refining families may not be able to produce a foundation-building genius for hundreds of years. Therefore, in order to go further, it is reasonable to introduce the method of magic cultivation."
The two have worked together and supported each other in the past two years. They have resolved a lot of hatred between each other and can be regarded as friends.
Ma Yongzuo burned the corpse with a fireball: "Fellow Taoist Chu has seen this clearly, but no matter how much these people want to climb up, they should not practice the method of demonic cultivation. This is what we are waiting for. The bottom line for cultivators. "
The Qingmu Sect's suppression of demon cultivators did not surprise Wei Zhong. After all, as a righteous sect, it is also its position to be hostile to it.
Moreover, the behavior of these demon cultivators is not pleasing to the eye, and some evil methods that harm the lives of others to support his own cultivation also disgust Wei Zhong.
"Okay, after this trip, this land will be quiet for a few days. If the three of you have important matters, please inform me again, and I will return to the sect."
< br>Ma Yongzuo raised his hands to the three people, then turned around and turned into a ray of light before disappearing from everyone's sight.
“Fellow Daoist Ma is really a happy person,” Li Haowen said after seeing him leave after leaving a sentence.
“As a deacon of the inner sect of the Qingmu Sect, he is very busy. For his own cultivation, he has taken on many sect tasks. This time, three of us accompanied him to clear the area around Haiyue Lake, and I also thought of him. You can come here only if you make enough contributions.”
Chen Guisong said.
Since the appearance of the pill-forming demon cultivator around Haiyue Lake, the number of monks coming and going here has decreased a lot. Even the guests of the Qingmu Sect are unwilling to take over the patrol mission in the surrounding area.
Only Ma Yongzuo, the deacon of the inner sect, took over the matter and accompanied the three of them to clean up the place.
Fortunately, there has been no sign of the alchemy cultivator in the past two years, and the four people's exorcism operation went very smoothly.
The most serious one was when four people were ambushed by demon cultivators, but Ma Yongzuo used some tricks to lead the three people away, and then killed the ambushers.
After the battle, the four of them only suffered some minor injuries, but Yue Xu recovered all of them.
"This cleanup is over, I'm leaving now," Wei Zhong bowed his hands to the two of them and left.
Li Haowen looked at Wei Zhong's leaving figure and murmured: "Perhaps only monks like fellow Taoist Chu who are not bound by sects and families can be truly free."
Chen Guisong Hearing this, he also bowed his head and remained silent. The two of them had different thoughts, and then they said goodbye and separated.
When Wei Zhong returned to Black Lake Island, his spiritual consciousness noticed an obscure aura on the island.
He casually smelled to the servant beside him: "There are guests on the island."
The latter shook his head: "Miss He has only been here once since the master left, but she left some time ago."
The Miss He in his words is Li Haowen's disciple and Ning Jiaqi's sweetheart.
‘Since there are no guests coming, the enemy is hiding on the island. ’
Following the scent he sensed, Wei Zhong came to a cave.
There is a plaque with three characters "Zhiming Cave" on it, which is the cave where Taoist Zhu once stayed.
Wei Zhong disliked the fact that this place had never seen the light of day, so he abandoned it.
There is also a group of blood-eating bats, and I don’t know why people come here.
