"arrive."
As soon as Gui Jing's words fell, Zheng Wan had already landed on the ground like a needle pricking her buttocks.
She stood far away, looking across the aisle from Hong Chongzi, Hong Chongzi seemed to feel aggrieved, with two dark mung bean eyes paired in the middle, and stared at her desperately for a few more times.
"..."
Zheng Wan turned her head away.
As far as the eye can see, there are ridges of lush green fields, and two sun-tanned farmers are sitting on the edge of the ridges, smoking dry cigarettes one by one, and several people in the field are crooked and tending to the green seedlings —
It's like the Nine Suns Grass in the mortal world, everything is orderly and full of vitality.
The farmers seemed to be accustomed to their arrival, and they all stood up and saluted respectfully, and then they went to do whatever they were supposed to do.
It was nothing like what she had imagined.
Zheng Wan originally thought that evil spirits were invading, and the surrounding area should be overgrown with wild grass and uninhabited, but who would have seen such a picture of a leisurely farmer farming.
"Speaking of it, it is thanks to Zhenjun Liwei who discovered it in time, otherwise, this place would have been barren and the people would have no means of living."
Gui Jing arched his hands in the distance, "There is a village next to Xiaozhu Road. The villagers have multiplied and lived here for generations, and there are many people... Our main task this time is to move the nearby villages along this road. The strange beasts have all been cleaned up, lest they go down the mountain to harass the mortals."
Zheng Wan felt strange.
She still remembered what she saw when she came to Xuancang Realm the first day, there was a clear distinction between monks and mortals, how could she be willing to contribute to protect mortals now
She felt strange, so she also asked.
Jingyue smiled:
"Although monks have transcended mortals, they come from mortals who live and die. They are fed by this side of water and soil. The greater their ability, the greater their natural responsibility. Although we are not in the company of mortals, we will not sit by and watch them wait. die… "
… With great power comes great responsibility.
Zheng Wan's heart was shaken.
She was wrong, what she thought before was all wrong.
There are indeed differences between monks and mortals, but from a certain point of view, it is not very different from the mortal world—it’s just that she used to be the one enjoying the rights, but now she is in the position of Aye, Auntie. It is unfair that all immortals are different: but all of this is just another evolution of the mortal world.
Ordinary people in the mortal world are not allowed to wear silk and satin, there are rules for houses, and there are restrictions on driving. It is the same for mortals in the Xuancang world.
In comparison, it is these high-ranking monks who have the so-called great love and compassion.
In the mortal world, the elites of the gentry and the important weapons of the country are all guarded by high walls, and those who rush to kill are often the humble people. Instead, these monks—
Zheng Wan subconsciously remembered what she saw in the camp yesterday, those elite disciples, including Cui Wang, guarded the place where the evil spirit was strongest, and naturally left the safer place behind for the lower-level disciples.
If this is the mercy of the strong...
"Sister Fairy, Sister Fairy, can you help me see what's wrong with my brother?"
At this moment, a little girl in coarse brown clothes came out from the nearby field ridge, with two croiss braids, white skin and big eyes with black eyes. She was not afraid of people, she raised her head and asked Zheng Wan, her hands Li also hugged a little baby upside down.
The little baby closed his eyes and didn't cry or fuss, his face covered with black air.
Zheng Wan didn't know why, so the second senior sister said "huh":
"The image of evil spirits entering the body has actually lasted until now."
She asked Guijing:
"Can it still be saved?"
Gui Jing carefully took out a bamboo tube from his waist, unplugged it and turned it over, an octospider crawled out of the bamboo tube and crawled to the baby's forehead. Its long tentacles touched the center of the forehead and pierced the baby. Take some skin, and drank it with a gulp.
The little girl hugged her younger brother, who was only one month old, and stood upright. She didn't dare to move, thinking that the uncles in the village had said that these immortals were kind-hearted and powerful, and they would definitely be able to save her brother.
She thought in her heart that she was not afraid, but when she saw the spider, tears rolled in the frame.
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Zheng Wan put in before taking it out from the storage pouch:
"you eat."
This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Awan specially made for her with Yuanmi, and Zheng Wan is still a bit reluctant.
The little girl watched eagerly for a while:
"You don't want to eat it."
Zheng Wan stuffed it into her mouth roughly, at this moment, the little baby suddenly cried "Ah", the loud cry passed through the field, an old man with white hair came from the other side of the field, and first cursed "Girl", after meeting the immortals again, he looked at the little grandson who was being held in the arms of the little granddaughter.
The blackness on the little grandson's face had all gone, and he was crying out of breath as he kicked his four legs.
He couldn't help crying:
"Thank you, thank you all the immortal masters, old man, I kowtow to you!"
The farmers from a distance also knelt down, fell to the ground sincerely, and shouted "the immortal is kind".
Bursts of voices floated:
"Old man Li's son and daughter-in-law are so capable, that is, they picked some wild vegetables on the mountain, and they were gone! Later, old man Li went up the mountain to look for him, but he only found his grandson who was thrown into the ravine with his last breath left. Seeing this grandson It's gone too, the immortals are kind..."
"Sister Fairy," the girl raised her face, still swallowing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "the uncles all said that I, Aye, Auntie, was eaten by monsters on the mountain and couldn't come back. Is it true?"
"..."
The wind blows, and the leaves fall silently.
The light in Ya Dan's eyes suddenly went out, she seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand too much, tears dripped down, but she still remembered to kowtow to the immortals with her grandfather.
"Sister Fairy," before she left, she walked up to Zheng Wan, and carefully spread out her palm, with a shriveled red fruit lying in her dirty little hand, "This is for you."
Zheng Wan didn't move.
This kind of red qin fruit can buy a whole basket with one low-rank primordial stone, but to these mortals, it is a priceless treasure.
She hid it for a long time and did it all.
Zheng Wan leaned over, took the fruit, put another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her palm, and smiled softly:
"Go."
The grandparents and grandchildren walked tremblingly on the field ridge, the second senior sister sighed:
"The life of a mortal is as weak as an ant, and it will wither in the wind and rain."
For the first time, Zheng Wan had a real feeling about this mission.
Thinking of herself and others, if her Aye Auntie encounters an unsolvable predicament, she hopes that there will always be someone who will pass by and see and help.
The others seemed to be used to it, and quickly woke up from the sluggish atmosphere.
Gui Jing clapped his hands and continued the previous topic.
He pointed to a road under his feet, which was wide enough for two or three carts to drive side by side:
"This is the main road of Xiaozhu Road."
He pointed to the other two narrow roads leading out from the stubble, "Those two are forked roads. Our troops will divide into three routes and proceed at the same time. We will wait for the people who change defense at night to come."
"Three-way?"
The monkey-faced male cultivator yelled strangely, "Boss, I don't want to be with those from the Yuqing Sect."
In principle, it is impossible for particularly powerful alien beasts to appear on the periphery. After all, this is a trial ground specially set aside by Zhengmeng to train low-level disciples, but who knows if there will be any omissions? Everyone cherishes their lives, and the more powerful the teammates, the better. If you are allocated a female cultivator from the Yuqingmen, the one with the higher cultivation level is fine, and the one with the lower cultivation level has to be protected with all your heart. Have a life to enjoy.
Anyway, monkey face is not willing to be assigned.
"My junior sister and I."
The second senior sister blocked Zheng Wan behind her.
Gui Jing glanced over and said directly:
"There's no need to argue, Monkey, Zheng Wan and I, and one more person will clear the side of the main road together. Jingyue will lead the team on the east fork road, and Luyi will go there and order another one; the west fork road will be cleared by the remaining four people." .”
In a team, those who can serve as the captain are either strong in battle, or rich in experience and able to hold the field. Gui Jing's allocation is obviously well thought out.
He and Jingyue are indistinguishable in combat strength, so they must lead a team alone.
The main road is wide, and four to five monks are the most suitable. Now he has included Zheng Wan, who is the weakest in the entire team, in his own team, plus two more, which is equivalent to taking most of the burden of the entire team; Jingyue's combat strength Strong, it is not difficult for three people to clear an east fork road; and four people for the other fork road—
Ignoring the clamor of the monkey-faced monk and assigning him to his own group was to suppress him and show the authority of the captain.
No matter how unwilling the monkey was, it still walked over muttering.
"Captain, I'm on your team."
Shuyuan walked up to Guijing.
"Northern Mianmen is good at formation, that's okay."
Jingyue led the second senior sister to nod one more person, nodded with the other monks and went straight to the East Fork Road, and the other four bowed their hands to Gui Jing and left.
On the contrary, Zheng Wan found out that the second senior sister's contact with the captain before leaving... was quite mysterious, I couldn't explain it, I just felt that the surrounding air was sticky.
"Okay, you all come with me."
Gui Jing patted the alien animal bag on his waist, and saw a brown mouse landed on the ground, the size of a palm, walking upright with only two hind paws, two front paws standing on the chest, twisting its buttocks and walking for a few minutes Stepping back, he turned his head and made two chirping sounds.
Gui Jing subconsciously looked at Zheng Wan, for fear that the nun would cry again—
Aren't women afraid of mice
Who would have thought that this female cultivator looked at her with bright eyes: "Captain, is this brown rat?"
Finally, it is not only seen in the illustration book, this brown rat must be domesticated since childhood. According to the book of beasts, its sense of smell is more sensitive than that of dogs, and it can smell the movement of strange animals from a distance of one mile.
——Beast Taming Sect is really a magical sect.
"yes."
Gui Jing couldn't help but glanced at the nun again, she was really a weird person, not afraid of mice or insects.
Shuyuan followed Zheng Wan quietly, not saying much.
Instead, the monkey-faced monk snorted:
"Fuss."
Zheng Wan was not as knowledgeable as he was, so the four of them resorted to light-hearted techniques and went up Xiaozhu Road, far behind the Brown Rat, to conduct a carpet search of the surrounding area.
Gui Jing originally thought that this female cultivator would not be able to bear to slow down if she didn't need a stick of incense time. After all, her cultivation base is only at the early stage of the middle stage, and she is still in the Yuqingmen.
She actually followed all the way down without blushing.
Little did they know that Zheng Wan had a heavenly primordial root and was blessed with innate Taoism. Her perception and affinity for primordial power was much higher than that of ordinary monks, and the speed at which she replenished primordial power from heaven and earth was also extraordinary.
In addition, this lightness technique comes with the "Mo Xujing", which is the main volume of the fairy scriptures after all. The lightness technique that comes with it is extraordinary, compared to the ordinary lightness technique used by other monks I don't know how strong it is, but when it is used, it has a light and ethereal effect, like fog and illusion, with minimal loss—
With the addition of all these reasons, even if Zheng Wan's "Ice Concealment" is just a beginner, she can still keep up with the other monks in the team who are much higher in level than her.
The monkey-faced monk glanced at her one after another, and when he was about to look at Zheng Wan, Gui Jing made a stop gesture:
"stop."
he said.
"There is movement ahead."
Brown rat "tweeted" twice, nodded its head, and pointed to the southeast with its left front paw.
"Hidden breath, come with me."
With a wave of Gui Jing's hand, the breath of the four people suddenly seemed to be there - this is a must-have formula for every monk when he goes out to practice. Although it is not as effective as the invisibility talisman, it can't hide the monks, but it can fool the beasts .
Every sect's Jingyi hall will teach, and Zheng Wan will naturally.
The four of them used the lightness technique to the extreme. Zheng Wan found that Gui Jing summoned a two-winged snake and a golden-ringed tiger in a short period of time. That brown rat is almost a team with one person.
"This kind of primordial beast consumes a lot of money, and the captain can't last long, so we have to fight quickly."
The book whispered far away.
While talking, the brown rat had already started to tremble, and if it didn't move forward and urged it, it simply jumped vertically and hid directly behind Gui Jing, refusing to come out again.
In the dense bushes in front, the rustling movement became louder. After a while, a dark brown monster with two huge bushes stepped out of the bushes. It was about five or six feet long, and faced The sky screamed, and as soon as the cylindrical limbs stepped on the ground, they "boomed" towards the four of them.
Its momentum was like a landslide, as if it was going to crush several people into flesh.
"Third-order mammoth beast! Spread out!"
Gui Jing yelled, jumped, and rode directly on the Golden Ring Tiger. At some point, a large golden ring knife appeared in his hand, and he chopped it up. Unexpectedly, the mammoth had thick skin and thick flesh, and with a knife, only the rough skin was left With the next white shallow mark, the rushing momentum only slightly diminished.
The two-winged snake took the opportunity to bite down, right in the middle of the knife, and its sharp teeth dug in. The mammoth was in pain and swung its long tail. .
This attack enraged the mammoth beast, making its offensive more violent.
Monkey-faced monk is a monk in the early stage of Yucheng Realm, and he was not cowardly. When Gui Jing and the mammoth beast were fighting together, he went up and set a fire, holding a fire stick in his hand, leaving a mass of charred black on the mammoth beast. mark.
Shuyuan didn't know when he advanced to the Jade Realm, he held a handful of array flags in his hand, stepped on the seven stars, and when one step fell, one chess fell. After a while, he even lowered twelve flags in a row—
"What are you doing in a daze, still not avoiding?"
Monkey-faced monk scolded.
The persimmon was pinched softly, and the third-order mammoth obviously had a preliminary intelligence, and it rushed straight towards Zheng Wan regardless of other people.
It was the first time for Zheng Wan to face such a terrifying beast, especially its eyes glowing red, and there were still scarlet blood between its teeth—
She tried her best to suppress the panic that was about to jump into her throat, and recalled the description of the mammoth beast in the book of beasts: a third-order mammoth beast, a jade-like Dzogchen monk, with skin like armor, invulnerable to water and fire, mostly with fangs and sawtooth , The long tail is a weapon, biting and charging, it is a beast of a hundred savages, and normal attacks are invalid.
As soon as the ice concealment technique was activated, she narrowly avoided the mammoth beast's first bite, and then breathed a sigh of relief. A long tail in her soul consciousness hit the air, and the whistling sound almost broke through the air—
If it is true, I am afraid that it will be broken into two pieces directly at the waist.
"His grandma's bear can't even hide!"
Really useless!
The monkey-faced monk couldn't help cursing, but he still came to support him with a fire stick. Gui Jing even directed the Golden Ring Snake to rush over, intending to relieve Zheng Wan—
But no one was as fast as Shu Yuan, he flashed repeatedly, before the other two, he flashed directly in front of Zheng Wan, intending to take the whip for her with his flesh and blood—
But at this moment, the aggressive mammoth suddenly slowed down.
Between the sky and the earth, there seemed to be a cold light, and where the light passed, blossoming ice lotuses appeared, and the ice lotus fell on the mammoth beast—
Its scarlet lantern-like eyes showed a trace of confusion, and its body was covered with a thin layer of ice crystals!
"Set up quickly!" Zheng Wan said, "I won't last long!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Shuyuan had already lowered the Sixteen Flags again, and the gesture was so fast that only afterimages could be seen, the surrounding lights were full of light, and a six-pointed star fell from the sky, enveloping the mammoth beast:
"Fallen Star Formation, successful!"
After all, Gui Jing was the captain. Even though he was surprised, he came back to his senses at the first time, raised his knife and commanded the Yuan beast to chop off again. At the same time, the double-winged snake also successfully injected the venom into the mammoth beast.
The mammoth shook, and its mountain-like body fell to the ground, creating a deep hole.
Before the monkey-faced monk could react, he blinked, then blinked again: "... Are you ready?"
"alright."
Gui Jing said unhappily, he put away the tiger and the snake, wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes fell on Zheng Wan's body with a strange look, "You are..."
"Illusion."
Zheng Wan said, "I can help from the side."
"Okay!"
The monk speaks with strength, although the response is still a bit clumsy and immature, it can be seen that the usual fighting skills are inexperienced, but just from the illusion that Zheng Wan showed just now, it can be seen that she is not as useless as she appears, no, it can even be said...
Gui Jing thought of the cowhide that the disciples of Yuqingmen have always loved to talk about:
"Zhen Zhenren cultivated it, but... "Moxu Jing"?"
"Exactly."
""Moxu Sutra"?"
Monkey-faced monk is not an ignorant person, his voice has changed, "You are practicing the "Moxu Sutra"? Is it true that no one from the Yuqing Sect has successfully practiced it?"
"You won't be the innate Taoist species that was rumored a while ago and was accepted by Taoist Zixiu of Yuqingmen... right?"
"Exactly."
"Absolutely." The monkey's face suddenly turned into a monkey's ass. He scolded people fiercely, and he was also fierce in admitting cowardice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what I said just now, you just treat it as a fart, let it go!"
"..."
Can't let go.
Gui Jing patted him on the head:
"Monkey, you go and clean it up. This mammoth beast will be sold later. If you divide it up, you can get a lot of primordial stones."
In fact, most of the alien beasts living outside were second-tier, and there were still a small number of third-tier beasts. According to the number of heads, four people could get quite a lot.
"Your illusion is very useful," Gui Jing said to Zheng Wan when the monkey was timidly picking up the loot, "Shuyuan's formation and your illusion work together to restrain the beast for me and the monkey..."
However, in the past half a day, this was the only third-order alien beast I met. Most of the first-tier alien beasts I met later, and there were only two second-tier alien beasts. It didn't take much effort to clean up——
In particular, Zheng Wan's illusion works on the soul of the alien beast. With Shuyuan's formation, Gui Jing and the monkey can deal with the Yuan beast almost effortlessly. Before evening, the Yuan beast near the main road of Xiaozhu Road was killed. Clean it up.
"Go, go back and join them."
Zheng Wan responded. In fact, she was already extremely exhausted. No matter how powerful she was, she was only in the early stages of defending the middle. In addition, it was her first mission, and she encountered many strange beasts—
If it weren't for the struggle in my heart, I would have fallen down long ago.
At this time, the captain's red worm was not too disgusting, so he just sat on the worm and adjusted his breath. When the group arrived at the foothold just now, there was a "pop" in front of them, and a cluster of colorful fireworks rose into the sky, which was extremely conspicuous.
"Oops!"
Gui Jing's soul consciousness looked forward, "That's the village!"
"The alien beast broke into the village!"
The red worm ran fast, Zheng Wan was surprised:
"Didn't it say it was blocked?"
"The main road is definitely fine," Gui Jing didn't know the situation, so he could only desperately urge Hong Chongzi to drive towards the village, "Other roads..."
Shuyuan sat behind the red worm, with a ghostly expression hidden in the shadows, half pity and half sighing:
"It's really... weak."
Not long after the trip, the village was within sight.
Zheng Wan stared blankly, what her soul consciousness saw was a piece of...
Purgatory on earth.
Where's the girl
She was the first to think of the little doll who wore two braids and gave her a red fruit.
All the way from the entrance of the village, there were corpses lying on the ground. None of them was complete. They were all broken, as if they had been torn into pieces by some kind of wild beast, with their stumps scattered, and the blood that flowed out smeared the underground soil. Dip into a sea of red.
A white head rolled to the ground, and the thin face was full of sorrowful wind and frost. At this time, a pair of eyes were rounded, staring at the sky in a daze.
"Isn't this the white-haired old man?"
Monkey-faced monk said.
Zheng Wan finally couldn't help it, covered her mouth, supported the tree by the roadside, and started to "vomit".
The author has something to say: Wang Zai: A day of disconnection.
—
