A few days later, Qin Ming was practicing swordsmanship in the nearby old forest, when he suddenly heard the bustling noise from the other side of the mountain, and it seemed like a lot of people had gathered.
Qin Ming put away the Dayan ancient sword, wrapped it tightly with animal skin, walked to the top of the mountain and looked down.
At the foot of the mountain there is a large public notice board, around which hundreds of disciples are discussing enthusiastically, and many disciples are rushing over from other places.
"Today's second hunting event, I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Which mountain are you in this time?"
"It's in the main sacrifice mountain, more than 400 kilometers away from Qingyunzong, the deepest part of Yunluo Forest. It is said that there are a lot of spirits and monsters, the terrain is complicated, there are many rivers and waterfalls, and some canyons are hidden. The degree of danger is higher than this year's first place. The second hunting event is much higher."
"The second hunting event every year is much more dangerous than the first."
"The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity."
"The range of the chief priest's mountains is very wide. Not only are there many spirit monsters, but the terrain is also complicated. There are also many mercenaries and bandits active there."
"What's the minimum qualification to sign up for this hunting event?"
"It says on it that between the sixth heaven of Lingwu and the ninth heaven, the number of people is limited to less than a thousand."
Hundreds of disciples gathered in front of the public notice board, discussing lively.
The hunting event is an experience activity prepared by Qing Yunzong for the new generation of disciples. It will be held twice a year. Each time the experience area is different, the qualifications for the limited entries will be different, and the duration will also be different.
Such a hunting event with more than six layers of heaven and less than 1,000 people is a large-scale hunting operation.
Qin Ming mingled into the crowd, looking through the gaps at the map drawn and the regulations listed on the public notice board. He was not qualified to participate in the hunting event before, mainly because his strength was too weak, and he was not enough to be a spirit monster when he went out, so every time he saw the hunting announcement, he would look at it from afar, envy for a while, and continue to do his chores.
"Principal mountain cluster?" Qin Ming's heart suddenly moved, and he squeezed forward again. His eyes moved to the right side of the map along the designated experience area. At the corner of the map, he saw a familiar sign—Daqingshan!
Daqingshan!
The spar mining area where Thunder Ancient City suffered!
Qin Ming silently estimated the distance from the experience area to Daqingshan, his eyes flickered, and a bold and adventurous idea sprouted in his heart.
"Yo, Qin Ming?" A disciple recognized him and looked him up and down: "Are you interested in participating in the hunting event?"
When he mentioned this, other disciples beside him also noticed Qin Ming.
"You are really qualified to participate, sign up and try?"
"The lowest level is the sixth level of spiritual martial arts, and Qin Ming's realm is not enough."
"The realm is not enough, the strength is enough. He has destroyed Mu Zixiu with a single punch. Who dares to say that he is not qualified?"
"That's Mu Zixiu's carelessness. Let them compete on stage now. It won't take half a stick of incense. Qin Mingzhun will lie on the ground."
Many people around were interested in Qin Ming and kept urging him to sign up.
Qin Ming smiled lightly: "I want to participate, but I'm not qualified."
"Why don't you qualify, sign up and try."
Qin Ming deliberately shook his head and said: "In terms of strength, I am not afraid of anyone. Even if Mu Zixiu comes to me again, I can still knock him down. But I am just a servant, how can the hunting conference accept me?"
"Yo! That's crazy! I'm going to pass your words on to Mu Zixiu, haha."
"You really want to participate? Our brothers can help."
"Give me a word, do you have the guts to participate?"
Some people excitedly stimulated Qin Ming, while others kindly reminded: "Qin Ming, please save yourself, it was really a fluke that you beat Mu Zixiu."
"I dare! I'm afraid that some people won't let me participate." Qin Ming shook his head with a smile, left a provocative sentence, and pushed away from the crowd.
"Is this kid dazzled by victory?"
"He doesn't really think he can win the Seventh Heaven, does he?"
"Hurry up, send the message to Mu Zixiu, haha, it's lively, it's going to be lively again."
"You guys, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement. Qin Ming just showed weakness."
The front of the public notice board continued to be bustling, and more and more people gathered here, but after Qin Ming left, many disciples deliberately spread Qin Ming's words with embellishments, for fear that things would not be too serious.
Qin Ming returned to the warehouse and began to prepare. He dug out some scrap iron in the warehouse and began to sharpen the flying knife. If the word is sent out, it will definitely stimulate Mu Zixiu and other elder factions. It won't be long before his name will be added to the hunting party's entry list.
Hunting Conference, Daqingshan, I'm going home!
In the evening, Caiyi hurried over, opened the door and scolded her. "Young master Qin, you dared to challenge Mu Zixiu? Did you know that your words would anger many people in the Great Elder's faction. I heard that they have already begun to help you sign up."
"It's very efficient, that's great." Qin Ming smiled.
"Great? What do you want to do! The hunting conference is a very barbaric operation. There will be a lot of casualties every time. Even Lingwu Jiuzhongtian may die in the forest. They dragged you in just to murder you." Cai Yi Worrying about Qin Ming, Senior Sister Yueqing went to retreat a few days ago, and told her repeatedly before the retreat to keep an eye on Qin Ming. But only a few days later, Qin Ming made such a big incident.
"Help me prepare a map, the map from the main sacrifice mountain to Daqingshan, and the map of the Daqingshan mining area."
Caiyi's face changed slightly: "You want to go back to the mining area?"
"Well! I want to go back!" Qin Ming was very excited now.
Eight years, a full eight years, I finally have the chance to go home.
My relatives, aunt, uncle, sister, grandpa, I'm back, I'm coming back, do you miss me
"Wait! Wait!" Caiyi stopped Qin Ming and looked at him anxiously: "You want to go home?"
"I'm homesick." Qin Ming grinned, but his eyes were warm.
In the past eight years, every year it was my sister and uncle Tuwei who came to see him. The others had no chance to come over, and Qin Ming had no chance to see them either.
It's been eight years, Qin Ming almost forgot what they looked like.
"No! You can't go back!"
"I want to go back." Qin Ming's attitude was very firm. He was not strong enough in the past and was not qualified to leave Qing Yunzong. Now he has finally seized the opportunity, and no one can stop him from going home.
Caiyi is very serious: "You can't go back! If you are discovered and caught, the elders and the others will never let you go lightly, and your relatives will also be implicated."
"I'm just going back to take a look, even from a distance. Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
"No! I will never allow you to go back!" Caiyi pursed her red lips and stubbornly stopped Qin Ming. Participating in the hunting conference is already very dangerous, and Qin Ming wants to take the opportunity to go home and have a look? Not allowed!
Qin Ming looked into Caiyi's eyes and suddenly asked, "Are you concerned about me, or is there something else?"
"Of course I care about you." Cai Yi's eyes slightly dodged, and then met Qin Ming's eyes.
"Did something happen to Daqingshan?" Qin Ming sensitively noticed the abnormality in Caiyi's eyes.
"Nothing happened. It is too dangerous for you to participate in the hunting conference. The disciples of the great elder will not spare you. To be serious, you are taking the initiative to send your neck to their knife."
"You answer me first, why didn't my sister and the others come to see me this year." Qin Ming suddenly felt uneasy. In previous years, my younger sister would visit him twice a year, which was a 'benefit' given by Qing Yunzong, but it's been more than half of this year, and I haven't seen anyone yet.
"There were delays before, don't worry about them..."
Qin Ming suddenly grabbed Caiyi's arm: "Tell me! What happened!"
"Young Master Qin, you hurt me." Caiyi struggled aggrievedly.
"What happened? Tell me." Qin Ming asked again, looking straight into Caiyi's eyes.
"No, you will always think about what can happen."
Qin Ming stopped talking and just looked at Caiyi.
Caiyi felt uncomfortable being watched by him, hesitated twice, and bit her red lips: "Actually, nothing major happened, it was just a small accident."
"Say!"
Caiyi opened her mouth and didn't speak.
"talk."
Caiyi had no choice but to say: "More than three months ago, Tuwei made a breakthrough in seclusion and sprinted to the eighth heaven of earth martial arts. Interference, and chaos, Tuwei almost lost his life, triggered a large-scale conflict, and even the mines went on strike."
"What happened later?" Qin Ming's heart tightened, Tu Wei almost died
Eight years ago, the ancient city of Lei Ting was "catastrophized overnight", and only a few people were left to protect and enshrine the dead in the city lord's mansion. They declared in the blood and fire that they would never turn their backs. Tu Wei is one of the representatives. They have been with the city government through thick and thin all these years, never leaving.
In the past eight years, more than 200,000 people in the ancient city and the Qin family of the city lord's mansion have been detained in the spar mine deep in Daqing Mountain, engaged in hard mining work, and are strictly guarded by the team arranged by Qingyunzong. Tuwei led people to form a bodyguard team to protect the orphans of the Qin family and also safeguard the rights and interests of the "workers" in the city.
It can be said that Tuwei is the only guardian force of the Qin family.
"Tuwei persevered to the end, saved his life, and successfully broke through to the eighth level of the Earth Martial Realm. Don't worry about him. But the first thing Tuwei did when he left the customs was to find the person in charge to discuss it, but there was another conflict. Tuwei crippled the person in charge by mistake."
"What about later?"
"The Qingyun Sect sent people to investigate, and it was determined that it was the fault of the person in charge. Tu Wei was not punished, and the person in charge was brought back to the Qingyun Sect. But later, the Qingyun Sect sent an elder to sit in the town. You may Knowing that elder, he is Leng Zhibai, an elder with a very dark personality, and the rest... you can think about it."
Caiyi is also very helpless, things like mines are a completely different world to closed disciples like them. Qingyunzong is a recognized holy place for martial arts, and its more than 8,000 disciples are dedicated to martial arts and do not care about world affairs. However, Qingyunzong is such a big sect, and the daily expenses and training materials are also astronomical, so there will not only be a lot of spiritual stone mines outside In the field, some elite disciples will be regularly arranged to go out to perform tasks.
Not only Qingyun Sect, every sect will have a huge subsidiary industry.
These mines and industries all need to exist.
"Leng Zhibai, the confidant of the Great Elder." Qin Ming clenched his fists, is it worth arranging an elder to sit in a Lingshi mine? Leng Zhibai's purpose in the past was obviously to suppress Tuwei who had improved his realm.
