Huang Yun came to Liu Ming and the others for a few breaths.
A tall old man standing above the cloud with a majestic face, he was obviously a person who was accustomed to giving orders. He glared at the two young men and then bowed to Liu Ming with apologetic expression on his face:
"My ambassador, these juniors have so little knowledge. Please forgive me for any offense."
"It's okay, no wonder if you don't know, dare to ask your Excellency, but the Kaiyang Patriarch of the Xu Family?" Liu Ming naturally wouldn't mind these trivial matters, and said with a slight smile.
"The sir's eyes are like a torch, and the next is the head of the Xu family." The tall old man's face was stiff, and his heart was surprised. For a while, he didn't want to understand how the person in front of him could see his identity.
Liu Ming smiled slightly, using the opponent's Condensate Realm cultivation base and a tone of wanton reprimanding the two Xu family disciples, how could he not judge the identity of the other party.
As for his status as a disciple of the Taiqing Sect, most of it was because the other party had received news in advance that someone had accepted the task sent by his clan, and he might even have a certain understanding of his appearance, otherwise it would be so easy to come forward immediately. Greet.
The two young men on the black eagle hurriedly stepped forward to bow in fear, and at the order of the tall old man, immediately took one step to report the information to the mountain behind.
Not long after, the restraint outside on the peak fluctuated, slowly opening a passage.
"My envoy, please come to the fort first." Xu Kaiyang saw this, and immediately ended the greeting, and made a respectful gesture with one hand.
Liu Ming was not polite, and after nodding, he floated into the passage.
As a result, after flying over tens of feet, the yellow brilliance in front of him flashed, revealing a rather magnificent tall castle-like building below.
At a glance, the highest point of the castle is more than 30 feet, surrounded by layers of shadowy buildings, and the outermost part is a tall city wall, which encloses most of the peaks.
"The place of this clan is very simple, please don't blame the envoy." Xu Kaiyang said to Liu Ming while leading Liu Ming to fly to the door of the inner hall of the ancient castle.
"Patriarch Xu is polite." Liu Ming responded calmly.
After a while, the two of them fell to the ground, and several elderly men in yellow suits were already standing at the gate and greeted them.
"This is the ambassador of the Taiqing Sect, right? Xu Yunzhen is the elder of the clan. This time I have missed a distant welcome, but please forgive me." The speaker was a thin, thin old man with yellow beard and hair behind him. Everyone faintly looked forward to their horse's head.
"You fellow Taoists are polite, here is Liu Ming, at the order of the sect, to complete the task entrusted by the Xu family." Liu Ming glanced around, smiled and hugged his fists in return, and at the same time took out the nameplate of the outer disciple's identity. Throw it over.
"It turns out that Ambassador Liu is a disciple of the outer sect of Taiqing, and the future is bound to be great, and the achievement of the Crystal Realm is just around the corner. Come, let me introduce you to the next, these are the elders of my Xu family." The thin old man took it. Token, after a little check, his yellow eyes lit up, and he said with a smile at the thing in his hand.
Then, together with Xu Kaiyang, he began to introduce everyone present one by one.
The elders of the Xu family are all monks in the condensate stage. The thin and thin elders have the highest cultivation level, which is the middle stage of the condensate stage. The others, including the patriarch Xu Kaiyang, are in the initial stage.
Although these people are all in a peaceful state, Liu Ming's spiritual consciousness swept away and discovered that, except for the head of the family Xu, the rest of the people present were a little bloody, and there was a hint of faintly revealed on their faces. He was black, obviously seriously injured.
After some politeness, Liu Ming walked into the hall of the castle surrounded by several elders.
After a few people were seated separately as the guest of honor, a maidservant offered tea.
"This'Huanglu Tea' is a specialty of Cangman Mountain. Although it is not a top-grade spiritual tea, it is still sweet and moist and has a long aftertaste. Please also sip it." The head of the Xu family sat opposite Liu Ming and smiled. road.
"Tea can be drunk slowly, but the sect mission said that two powerful ghosts appeared near here, I don't know what the specific situation is?" Liu Ming took a sip of the tea cup, and then spoke.
When the Xu family members heard this question, they couldn't help but glance at each other with embarrassment.
"Unexpectedly, the ambassador is also an impatient person. In fact, even if the daoists don't ask, the next one still wants to talk." Seeing this, the thin old man coughed and came over.
"That’s how things are. Our Xu family originally had a vein mine in the eastern part of Cangman. We have been mining some ordinary ores for more than a hundred years. No major incident has happened. But two months ago, there were two families. When the disciples in Zhong were ordered to go for a routine inspection, they suddenly disappeared in the mining area. We sent people to look for a few days but couldn't find them. At first, we thought they had just gone elsewhere and didn't pay much attention."
"But a few days later, two more junior disciples from the clan disappeared in the mining area. One of them was a later cultivator. This incident naturally touched us. After some investigation, I found that I did not know in the depths of the mine. When did two powerful ghosts in the middle of the liquid phase appear and rob those disciples to absorb their energy. Naturally, the Xu family could not allow this to exist, so they gathered a lot of people to fight against it, and the old man was there at the time. It is a pity that this The two ghosts were too powerful. After a fight, I was severely injured. In a critical moment, I reasonably urged a strange treasure in the family and finally escaped." The thin old man said that here, and I was there. The family members all showed helpless expressions.
Liu Ming's expression did not change when he heard the words, and he did not answer, as if he was waiting for the old man to continue speaking.
"The two ghosts are still entrenched in the mining area so far. We had to temporarily block the vein mine. With such a major event, our strength alone is really powerless, and we can only ask the Supreme Envoy of the Taiqingmen to help." Some self-deprecating smiles, and finally slowly said the entrustment.
"In this way, you only saw two ghosts. Is it possible that there is a third one?" Liu Ming suddenly asked after hesitating for a while.
"This shouldn't be the case. We fought those two ghosts that day, and we only managed to escape. If they had accomplices, we wouldn't be able to escape so easily." The skinny old man replied after thinking about it for a while.
Xu Kaiyang also nodded repeatedly.
Liu Ming also felt that there was some truth in what the other party said.
As far as he knows, ghosts usually like to suck the essence of living humans to feed back to themselves, and a spiritualist is worth dozens of mortals. If the two ghosts have other companions, they should not let these condensate go in vain. The monk is right.
"I don't know what the appearance of the two ghosts are? I have some understanding of ghosts. Maybe you can infer the origin of the ghosts?" Liu Ming touched his chin and asked thoughtfully.
As far as the understanding of ghosts is concerned, he really knows a lot. The previous Savage Ghost Sect was a school that specialized in the study of these monsters and ghosts.
The "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk" left by Liuyin Patriarch in the classics of the Barbarian Ghost Sect contains a total of 108 kinds of ghosts.
"This... When these two ghosts fight, they will drive a large area of ghost fog. They are especially good at hiding their tracks and launching surprise attacks. I have not been able to see what they really look like." The skinny old man said with a blushing face.
After hearing this, Liu Ming was speechless for a while.
These Xu family elders are really useless. It's just that they can't beat others. They are killed and fled back without seeing the enemy. It seems that the actual combat ability is definitely not too high.
"Although the ghost is powerful, there is an envoy who has taken action. Together with us old guys, we will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop. Fellow Daoists can rest assured that although our Xu family can’t compare with those big clans right now, the warehouse still has There are some rare minerals left over by the predecessors. If you don't dislike it, you can wait to remove these two evil spirits, although you can pick a few of them." Seeing Liu Ming's contemplative expression, the family leader Xu said quickly.
Liu Ming was slightly startled when he heard the words, and quickly understood.
I think these parents and elders were afraid that he would retreat when he heard that his opponent was too good.
At this time, Xu Kaiyang was really anxious.
Although the Xu family is also named under the Taiqingmen, the family has long since fallen, and the resources are really tight. This time this time, even though I have asked the Taiqingmen for help, because they need to heal the wounded in the clan first. Already spent almost the cost of the spirit stones in the clan, at that time, he could only take out eighty thousand spirit stones as rewards for the task, which was really shabby.
If Liu Ming in front of him let go, I am afraid that no other Taiqing Sect disciples will come over.
Seeing Liu Ming at this moment seemed to hesitate. Although the head of the Xu family was very heartbroken with the few refining materials in the clan, he could only make a promise by gritting his teeth.
"You can rest assured, since I have accepted the task, I will naturally complete it, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the clan when I go back." Liu Ming heard this, his eyes flashed a few times, but he said with a chuckle in his mouth.
"That's great. The envoy came from afar and it was hard work. I will take a rest today. There is no rush for the task, and it will not be too late for the task to be busy tomorrow. There will be a banquet in the mansion in the evening. One or two." The head of the Xu family was relieved and said with a smile on his face.
The other elders, including the skinny old man, also looked relieved.
Liu Ming was really tired all the way, so he didn't refuse. After leaving everyone, under the leadership of a domestic servant, he came to the guest room prepared by the Xu family to sit and relax.
As for the banquet, it was naturally pushed off by him.
Early the next morning, Liu Ming, accompanied by another middle-aged Confucian elder from the Xu family, left Xujiapu and flew to the vein mine of Cangman Mountain.
Elder Xu family originally wanted to gather everyone's hands and go together, but Liu Ming politely declined.
Two ghosts in the mid-condensate phase are not on his mind.
