Chapter 82: An Incident in Liuzhuang
The first day of September 2279 in the Eastern Diary
Two hundred li Ba Yushan is still lush and lush, and the bamboo fragrance after the rain fills the air, which is very pleasant.
At some point, twenty miles outside Bayu Mountain, an open mountain road leading directly to Yulin Town in the south had been built. Two young figures were walking from the inside of the mountain, with thin spiritual power under their feet slightly attached. There were two inches of green sword-shaped symbols printed on the chests of their tops.
"Qingshan, I heard that you followed Dean Qingming to Liuzhuang a few days ago. Did the evil spirits there catch them? How many people died?" The young man on the left was a little shorter and asked the taller young man on the right.
The young man on the right looks about twenty-three or four years old, and his appearance is quite straight, but there are two or three pockmarks between his nose. If you don’t look closely, it won’t affect you.
Hearing Liu Qingye's words, Chen Qingshan frowned slightly, recalling the tragic situation he had gone to Liuzhuang with the dean seven days ago to investigate, and there was a little discomfort in his abdomen.
"Hundreds of people! I heard from the dean that those people were the people who took the initiative to rebel against the Li family more than ten years ago and joined the Wang family. Later, they were demoted to common people by the clan leader. I don't know who they offended. They were all dismantled and a large number of broken bodies were hung at the gate of Liuzhuang, and they could not be identified at all!"
When Liu Qingye heard Chen Qingshan's words, he looked a little shocked.
Both of them were children from the other surnames who graduated from the Qingxiao General Academy in Yulin Town four years ago. He himself only had the Huang-level low-grade wood spirit root. Chen Qingshan's qualifications were better than him. He had Huang-level medium-grade earth spirit roots, and his cultivation level was two levels and one level.
It has been fourteen years since the Qingxiao General Hospital was opened, but the total number of people in Qingxiao General Hospital has only thirty. Although there are more than 100,000 mortals in Yulin Town, there are still extremely few who have spiritual roots.
He and Chen Qingshan are both from Liuzhuang and Chenzhuang respectively. They are of the same low background and their parents are ordinary people who do not even have the acquired realm. Therefore, their relationship is the best among the graduates of the same period.
When the two were detected, there was no need to mention the scenery. Chenzhuang Liuzhuang set up a three-day mat for him. At that time, they also thought that they would have reached the sky in one step from now on.
But only by truly embarking on the path of cultivation can you truly understand your humility.
These people all have to practice to the peak of their innateness before they can graduate. When they are introduced to the Li clan, worship the ancestral hall, and make a vow to change their generation and officially join the Li family, they will be taught the practice techniques and enter the Qi training period.
For example, his original name was Liu Ye, and Chen Qingshan's original name was also Chen Shan. After joining the Li family, they would automatically become members of the Qing clan. They could accept it without forcing their surnames to change.
After entering the Qi training realm, Liu Qingye realized how difficult it is to condense a strand of spiritual silk. The spiritual mist in the dantian would be ten feet long, which was even more difficult as the blue sky.
After three years, he only had the first level of Qi training. Chen Qingshan's qualifications were slightly better than him, but he had just broken through to the second level of Qi training last month. By the way, he also took over the mission of the clan affairs hall yesterday to assist Dean Qingming in investigating the murder case of Liu Zhuang.
Strictly speaking, they don’t have a deep relationship with the Li family, but they have a deep relationship with Qingxiao Academy and Dean Qingming. Because they were sent to Qingxiao General Academy at the age of six, they can be said to have been raised by Dean Qingming since he was a child, and they have not been told by words and deeds for more than ten years, let alone Li Qingming has the kindness of teaching them the Dharma and teaching them, let alone.
However, because they understood the difficulty of practicing, they were also very clear about the difficulty of obtaining cultivation resources by random cultivators. Therefore, after graduation, they all went to the clan affairs hall to receive tasks. After completing it, they used their contribution value to exchange for cultivation resources and magic weapons. However, their cultivation level is low now, and at most they can only take on some tasks to deal with monsters below the Qi training realm in the mortal villages around Yulin Town.
Chen Qingshan took on that task a few days ago, and he felt that the other party was a little bold, but fortunately nothing happened.
"The dean later asked me and four other fellow disciples to investigate the surrounding areas of Yulin Town, without any clues. The murderer seemed to appear out of thin air, and he disappeared directly after killing more than 100 people in Liuzhuang!" Chen Qingshan continued to recall what happened yesterday.
Hearing this, Liu Qingye said in a relaxed tone: "This is not good. The dean cannot find anything even if he practices high-level Qi cultivation. If you encounter it, you may not be able to survive!"
Chen Qingshan nodded and continued to walk outside. Although Bayushan opened up a road outside, everyone in Yulin Town now knows that it is the Li clan land. Usually, no one comes except them, and there are only two people on the road, which looks a little deserted.
Suddenly, two figures of blue and white rushed from the tribe behind him. They are now cultivators with sharp spiritual consciousness. They instantly turned their heads to look over. The two behind them were powerful spiritual power, which was in sharp contrast with their breath. The man on the left was wearing a white dress, and a blue sword-shaped symbol was printed on his chest, which was the beauty of their Qingxiao Academy.
"It's the dean!" Chen Qingshan immediately reacted and pulled Liu Qingye to salute respectfully.
"Meet the Dean!"
Qingxiao Academy emphasizes respect for teachers and respect for the Tao. Although they are from the same generation as Li Qingming, they are still a master and apprentice, and they have to bow down and worship.
However, the man on the left was wearing a blue shirt, and his body was still standing in front of the dean. He seemed to have a higher status than the dean. The two looked at each other, but they didn't recognize each other.
"No need to be polite." Li Qingming pulled the man in green next to him and stood up.
Suddenly, the man in blue looked a little interested and looked at them with a little smile.
"Brother, is this the graduate of the First General Academy?" The man in green shouted "Brother".
Chen Qingshan immediately realized that there were four male members of the Qing generation in the Li family, and I don’t know which one was in front of me.
Li Qingming nodded, looked at the confusion in Chen Qingshan and Liu Qingye's eyes, and immediately realized that they didn't know the man in green in front of them.
"By the way, this is the leader of Qingxiao. Don't you always want to see him?"
Chen Qingshan and Liu Qingye suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Li Qingxiao.
For those of the spiritual root children selected from near Yulin Town, Li Qingxiao is not just a clan leader.
First of all, the name of Qingxiao Academy is very representative, and it was even facilitated by Li Qingxiao. If there was no such a college, let alone they could become the noble monks in the eyes of more than 100,000 mortals in Yulin Town, maybe they would still be farming in Chenzhuang Liuzhuang now!
Furthermore, after entering the practice, I learned more and more about Li’s situation.
Since Li Qingxiao succeeded to the fifth clan leader, he has opened up the Lingyu Pond, destroyed the Liu family and Wang family, and occupied Yulin Town alone. He even took advantage of the battle in Lansha Island to rely on the Zijian Pavilion and now he has entered the Black Valley City. The Li family has been prosperous over the years, which can be said to be completed in one step by step.
This undoubtedly made Li Qingxiao look like a legendary figure in their eyes. What’s even more exaggerated is that he is still among the Li Qi training cultivators who are the highest in cultivation.
There seems to be no shortcoming in talent, means, wisdom, and cultivation. Such a person stands in front of him, and Chen Qingshan and Liu Qingye are suddenly excited.
"A disciple of Qing generation, Chen Qingshan pays homage to the clan leader!"
"A disciple of the Qing generation, Liu Qingye pays homage to the clan leader!"
Li Qingxiao nodded slightly and helped the two of them up. Although their cultivation was low, they were not monks of their own family. After all, they were the first monks of foreign surnames trained by Li in recent years. They were not old and had a little temper. They might become great in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Qingxiao raised his hand gently and gave him two top-grade magic weapons and swords. For him now, this top-grade magic weapon priced at about a thousand spirit stones is not a precious thing.
"The first time we met, there was nothing valuable. I'll give these two top-grade magic weapons to you!"
Chen Qingshan and Liu Qingye were immediately excited, the top-grade magic weapon! With their current cultivation level, they do tasks in the clan affairs hall. Apart from the cultivation resources every year, they only save up to more than 500 spirit stones.
What a good guy, the leader of Qingxiao casually makes two top-grade magic weapons!
"Thank you, the clan leader, for giving the treasure!" The two saluted respectfully again.
Li Qingxiao shook his head and greeted Li Qingming. The two of them continued to rush forward, and the direction was Liuzhuang.
"Qingye, I heard from Deputy Hall Master Jin Cheng that the clan leader is a big man who can control the Black Valley City. He must be the next great cultivator in the foundation-building realm of the family. The clan leader's current cultivation level should be at the peak of the ninth level of Qi training!" Chen Qingshan watched the two of them leave at a rapid speed, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
Liu Qingye looked the same and said enviously: "Absolutely, the spiritual root of the clan leader is still a middle-class Xuan-level, and he ranks first in the clan. The Qingjie Hall Master is not as talented as him."
Although Li Qingjie was not in the clan, he was always hung with the master of the law enforcement hall of the Patriarchal Hall, so the clan members also called him the master.
Chen Qingshan clenched his fists, glanced at the Muse in his eyes, and said secretly, one day, I will become a great monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm!
…………
Li Qingxiao was not accidental Hui people. In the past five years, he took charge of the overall situation in Heigu City. While guiding Li Qinghan to continue to acquire saltpeter, he also asked Li Jinzhai, the third uncle Li Jinzhai in Bayushan to continue to expand the hunting fishery, expand the spirit fish pond, and increase the number of spirit fish farms.
On weekdays, he spends most of his time practicing in the Tianzi room with a primary spirit gathering array on the fourth floor of Juxian Restaurant.
After all, whether it is to earn spirit stones or develop a family, the most important purpose is to practice.
It was not until three days ago that my elder brother Li Qingming asked someone to deliver a letter to him that something happened to Liuzhuang, Yulin Town, and he rushed back quickly.
With the peace of Yulin Town in Liuzhuang in recent years, the population has soared to more than 30,000. As soon as Li Qingxiao and his two men entered the door, they welcomed them with their beautiful male disciples embroidered with Qingxiao Academy embroidered on their chests.
Li Qingming didn't say nonsense, and asked the two of them to take him and Li Qingxiao to walk towards Liuzhuang.
The two academy disciples stopped after turning left and right, and went deep into the Liu clan area in the center of Liuzhuang.
A fishy smell hit the face, and Li Qingxiao frowned immediately and looked into a small pond more than ten meters near the Liu clan.
The small pond was covered with broken limbs and broken arms. It was a bit like a hundred people's corpses, but many of them had already twisted together, and occasionally their facial features were filled with fear and horror.
This was the second time Li Qingmingluo saw it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. After all, the scene was too bloody.
"Brother, do you think these people are all members of the owner of the previous Liuzhuang?"
"That's right, there are only a hundred and nine people, and there are not many. Look at the old woman in the middle, Wang, the wife of the owner of Liuzhuang."
Following the direction Li Qingming pointed, Li Qingxiao was indeed in the middle of the pile of corpses, and could still see clearly that it was the sarcastic woman Wang, who was twenty-one years ago.
"Qingxiao, do you think it's jade..."
"Impossible. I told Yu'er a few years ago that she would not have done such a cruel thing even if she wanted to take revenge!"
Li Qingxiao interrupted Li Qingming's guess, and the latter immediately recalled the impression that Liu Yuer left on him in the clan, and shook her head. It was indeed not like she did.
"Brother, since the other party has only killed these people, has there been any other news? Then forget it. This family should have had a bad reputation in Liuzhuang before. Just send two disciples to stay here for a while to make them feel at ease. Nothing will happen again!"
Hearing Li Qingxiao's words, Li Qingming could only nod and go down to make arrangements.
Ordinary people say it is important, but it is not important. There are more than 30,000 people in Liuzhuang, and it took more than ten years to provide five or six disciples to Qingxiao General Academy. Li Qingxiao didn't want to come back.
However, when he heard that this family was dead, Li Qingxiao deliberately came back to take a look.
After everyone left, Li Qingxiao moved his thunder spirit power and walked two steps into the blood pit.
It was fine at first, but when Li Qingxiao was already standing next to the blood pit, strands of black evil spiritual power floated out of the broken limbs and arms. Unfortunately, as soon as he touched the green thunder spiritual power, it turned into a wisp of white smoke and dissipated.
This is exactly the same as the evil aura he noticed in Bayu Mountain twenty-one years ago when he first saved Yu'er!
A bright color flashed in Li Qingxiao's eyes, and a name immediately came to his mind.
Willow!
Liu Yuer's brother who was captured twenty-one years ago is still alive.
The scene in front of him was exactly the same as the tragic situation when he saw the Wang family sending pursuers sent by him when he was carrying Liu Yu'er back to find Liu Mu and saw on the outskirts of Bayu Mountain.
Therefore, when he saw these broken limbs and broken arms at first sight, he remembered them.
Chapter completed!
