Qin Zhuo, the patriarch of the Qin family, greeted him and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu, welcome, welcome, please come here!" The person who came was Wu Qing, the representative of Xifumen in Qinguangcheng.
Qin Zhuo brought Wu Qing to Luo Jie and others, and said, "Master Luo, Master Qi, Master Qin, this is the representative of Xifumen in Qin Guangcheng, Wu Qing, Mr. Wu."
Wu Qing took a step back. Just kidding, three masters appeared at the same time, and the child who beat himself up was sitting beside the big spell master. He finally realized that he was not wronged, and hurriedly saluted, "Wu Qing has met three masters."
Luo Jie stared at him for a moment, and Wu Qing couldn't help but sweat on his back. Luo Jie said, "We're going to your Xifu Gate at the next stop, do you know?"
Wu Qing was surprised: "The people who went to Xifu Gate... didn't hear that they were going to pass through Qin Guangcheng?"
Luo Jie said: "Because we took a step beforehand, um, we came here after taking a shortcut, and we will leave tomorrow." He said again: "You sit, don't be restrained."
Wu Qing sat opposite Luo Jie, just in front of Guo Shishi. He glanced at Guo Twelve again, and saw that the little guy made a face. He smiled awkwardly and asked, "Master Luo, who is this?"
Luo Jie said casually, "This is my youngest apprentice Guo Shishi, this is his senior brother Qin Han, and this is my little brother Qi Nanshan."
Wu Qing's face turned pale. This is too shocking, the big apprentice is the master, the young apprentice beats himself, and even the followers are master-level martial arts masters, which simply doesn't let people live.
He smiled and said without a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet, a pleasure to meet!"
Guo Shishi originally wanted to ridicule him a few words, but the master sat next to him, and it was more pleasing to play the good boy. Without saying a word, he attacked the pile of meat in the big pot. With the seasoning he prepared, the boiled meat in white water became much more delicious. He ate a lot in one go. While eating, he did not forget to prick up his ears to listen to the conversation.
I have to say that Wu Qing is very sociable. Although he is not very good at fighting, his communication skills are very good. Guo Twelve found out that the people here are relatively simple in nature, and there are not many people with fancy intestines. Soon, Wu Qing was chatting and laughing.
After Guo Twelve was full, a servant brought hot water from a copper basin. He washed his face, sat next to the master again, and asked, "Master, this time I went to Xifumen, except for a large-scale hunting activity. , are there any other activities?"
Luo Jie smiled and said, "You can ask Wu Qing, he knows more than us."
Wu Qing smiled and said, "The old man is modest, hehe, then... I will briefly introduce it to the little brother."
Guo Shishi secretly laughed, this was upgraded to a little brother, and he was a little bastard at the intersection of the street. He said, "Then I will trouble Uncle Wu." He also upgraded the title from old bastard to Uncle Wu.
Wu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he was surprised. You must know that children often have clear grievances, hatred is hatred, liking is liking, and they will not falsify, but Guo Shishi has no hesitation, and calls him uncle when he opens his mouth, but it makes him suspicious. This kid is too weird, has super strength, and is so cunning, it's really hard to deal with.
"Hunting in the west, killing in the north, fishing in the east, and catching insects in the south... These four sentences were popular when the Four Great Alliances were just established, and not many people know about them now."
Luo Jie nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.
Wu Qing continued: "The so-called west hunting is a large-scale hunting activity once a few years. This activity is mainly the activities of the West Fumen and the North Fumen, and the East and South Fumen rarely participate because they are too far away from here. ."
"Murder in the north is also a big event for our two sects. You should know better than me... I won't go into details."
Guo Twelve said: "Hey, don't worry, I don't know... Tell me, what is Bei Murder?"
Qi Nanshan said with a smile: "Northern murder is to organize people from two sects to go out of the savage gate and kill the savages. This is a traditional event, but now it is held less and less frequently."
"East fishing and south catching insects are the activities of the two sects in the southeast. There are very few disciples participating in our West Fumen and your North Fumen. It is also because they are too far away. It will take at least a few years to go there. ."
Guo Twelve said: "Interesting, Uncle Wu, tell me about West Hunting."
Wu Qing agreed. Luo Jie watched with cold eyes and found that this Wu Qing seemed to be a little afraid of Guo Shishi. Although he couldn't explain it clearly, the feeling was very clear.
"Thousands of years ago, there were countless beasts on the prairie in the west. Many beasts loved to eat people, especially the rune beasts on their bodies. Therefore, the responsibility of the West Fumen is to kill these raging rune beasts. For hundreds of years, talisman beasts have rarely dared to approach the territory of Xifumen."
"Western Hunting was initiated at that time. At that time, people from Beifumen were invited to participate. Later, it gradually became a practice, and large-scale hunting activities were organized at regular intervals. In addition, it was also to strengthen communication and exchange their needs. The materials, the competition among the disciples... are the contents of the activities."
Luo Jie said: "I heard that the wild beast secret realm has been opened?"
Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Luo Jie should have received clear news. He didn't dare to hide it at all, and said truthfully: "Yes, it has been open for a long time... This time, it is very strange. After the secret realm was opened, the entrance has not been closed. At the entrance to the secret realm."
Qi Nanshan said disdainfully: "It's just an excuse, it's not to dominate the secret realm."
Wu Qing didn't dare to refute Qi Nanshan's words, he changed the subject and said, "I'm here this time, I hope to be able to walk with you. Haha, it's just the time for the Huimen school to report on work." It is safest to have a master on the road of.
Luo Jie doesn't care if there is one more person or one less person, he said: "Yes, but you have to prepare the supplies yourself. Also, you will contact the supply stations along the way. We are not familiar with the supply stations at Xifumen."
Wu Qing said: "No problem, leave it to me."
Guo Twelve secretly said it was a pity, if he was asked to talk, it would be more than just this request, but he was not easy to object to the master's decision. He grinned at Wu Qing, and the guy shuddered with fright. He didn't know what kind of bad water the little guy was going to take.
Wu Qing was really a little afraid of this weird kid, but fortunately, he is a master of communication, so he can handle this situation with ease and won't show too many tricks. He smiled a little embarrassedly. Luo Jie glanced at him inexplicably and said to himself, "What's so funny?"
Wu Qing was sweating coldly at the sight of Luo Jie, and quickly picked up a piece of meat and ate it to cover up his gaffe.
Only then did Luo Jie realize that it was his little apprentice who was acting weird. He whispered: "Twelve!" Guo Twelve was startled, shrank his neck suddenly, and whispered: "I didn't do anything!" He was also a little guilty, and he not only beat the representative of Xifumen , and also extorted their sect's talisman. If the master knows, I don't know if they will be scolded.
The atmosphere of the banquet was not bad. There were three masters in charge, and no one dared to mess around at the banquet.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Guo Shishi came to the assembly point with three war horses. Master Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan had already arrived, and brother Qin Han, who came to see him off, stood aside and reluctantly bid farewell to the master. Seeing Guo Twelve's arrival, he smiled and said, "Little Junior Brother, after you return to the inner door, we will get together again. Hehe, the master will leave it to you to take care of him. The master is old, so don't make him too tired."
Guo Twelve nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, the master will be taken care of by the younger brother, and Senior Brother be careful on the way back."
Qin Zhuo, the patriarch of the Qin family, also stood aside. He was very uncomfortable. Finally, a master was born in the family, but he was determined to return to Beifumen, and he had no intention of staying. He secretly regretted that he thought Qin Han would not have a good life for a few years, so many people coveted Qin Han's family property. As the patriarch, he did not stop it, causing Qin Han to lose a lot.
It is difficult to remedy the previous inaction now. Even if he dealt with those people mercilessly and compensated for part of Qin Han's losses, he still could not get Qin Han's thanks. Whether it was towards him as the patriarch or towards the clan elders, Qin Han's expression was neither salty nor light, which made Qin Zhuo unimaginable.
Qin Han said: "Master, you have too few people. I have transferred ten Fu warriors. Although their strength is not high, they are very familiar with the grassland, especially in winter, they can find a place to avoid the blizzard. To the water, you can avoid large-scale herds."
Luo Jie nodded and said, "If you are thoughtful, let them follow, and return it to you when you return to the inner door."
Qin Han nodded. He beckoned to call an old man in his sixties and said, "Master, Brother Qi, this is the leader of the team. His name is Qin Lang... He is the best guide and a famous hunter on the grassland."
Qi Nanshan nodded and said, "Well, just follow me, I need you to lead the way... Are you familiar with the way to Xifu Gate?"
Qin Lang nodded and said, "I am very familiar with the road to Xifu Gate. Haha, I have walked back and forth this road seven times."
Qi Nanshan said: "That's good. Where to rest on the road and how to go, it's up to you to decide. I won't interfere." This is the experience. He knows the harshness of the grassland in winter. A person who is familiar with the grassland leads the team. It can reduce a lot of risks. It is only good for them to have such a person to help, so he boldly delegates power to Qin Lang.
Qin Lang's appearance is very old, and the wind and frost of the years have carved deep marks on his face. He also had three horses with him, one of which carried supplies and the other two for rides.
Guo Twelve and four companions packed their horses. They carried a lot of things, including hundreds of talisman bags in Guangzang, all of which were packed in leather bags sewn with animal skins. Guo Twelve has been making Tibetan talismans since he learned to refine Tibetan talismans. The palm-sized Tibetan talisman bag can hold several hundred kilograms of things, which is what fascinates Guo Twelve the most. This is not to mention, important items are stored in a large talisman bag, which must be carried with you.
Luo Jie had a hard time understanding what Guo Twelve was doing. He didn't know why the little guy brought so many supplies, but he wouldn't interfere too much with the baby apprentice. As long as Guo Twelve liked it, he didn't care how much the little guy brought. thing.
Luo Jie said, "Dashan, let's go."
Qi Nanshan nodded and said, "Okay."
