Chapter 43: A Long Journey
Ding Xing always thought that the "Four Heavenly Kings" stole an empty cellar, but unexpectedly, even the golden dew liquid was taken care of.
The losses on the farm were really huge.
No wonder the village has been continuously invoking and chasing the descendants of the "Four Heavenly Kings" for three years. No matter who it was, he would probably not give up.
"How did my uncle get hurt?"
Ding Xing has heard of it in recent years that the treasure chasing mission posted by the village is very dangerous.
After all, we have to go deep into the barren realms on the border. Those lands are in chaos and wild cultivators are aggressive by nature. Not to mention the qi-training cultivators going to explore, even seniors in the Xuan-Feeding stage will inevitably be injured, and even deaths occur from time to time.
Wu Changsui said: "In the Tiandong Desert, your uncle captured the descendants of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' alive. After searching the soul, he learned that other descendants were at the foot of the Juanchen Mountains. He first sent the news back to the village, and when Shao Gong rushed over in person, they went south together."
Ding Xing casually interrupted: "One hundred thousand south mountains are rolling dust! The land is full of barren mountains and wild cultivation, even if Duke Shao is afraid he will be troubled."
The Chief of War echoed: "It's so hard to make things difficult."
Shortly after Ding Xing entered the village, he experienced an incident of white hoofed devouring the Lord. After the white hoofed horse bit Wu Tiande to death, the place where he escaped was the Juanchen Mountains.
There is also a Taoist Yijian, a casual cultivator who Ding Xing met in Jiuzhuangji. He grew up in the mountains since he was a child. These left a deep impression on Ding Xing, so he paid more attention to the geographical conditions of the Juanchen Mountains in daily life.
When Wu Changsui heard that he had a great understanding of this mountain range, he skipped some unnecessary explanations: "We keep track of the whereabouts of the Lingjiao, and the news has spread a long time ago. Cultivator Juan Chen also knew about this. After Shao Gong entered the mountain, he was targeted by an indigenous old monster. This monster has the initial stage of Xuanfei cultivation, is good at controlling Yin corpses and puppets, and has three corpses of copper, iron, and gold, nicknamed "Three Corpse Old Monster".
When Mr. Shao found the place of his descendants and killed only one of them. In order to find out the details of the Lingjiao, the old monsters in the three corpse suddenly took action to rescue them. Mr. Shao insisted on cutting off the roots and chased them all the way to the old monsters of the three corpse, and then another one. We suffered a loss in this one, and your uncle's injury also arose."
Ding Xing asked: "Have you removed that root?"
The Soldier Sui paused at him, and his face showed a proud look: "Although the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, our Dharma came out of the upper sect. Even if the old monsters of the Three Corpse have prestige in the local area and attract a bunch of wild cultivators to help, they could not save that. There are no descendants of the "Four Heavenly Kings" left, and they were killed by us. However, the price paid is a bit heavy. A few uncles died in your uncle's family!"
For similar casualties, the village will give extremely heavy compensation.
Next time the Shangzong recruits new disciples, Wu Shiqing's direct children will be given priority to the Shangzong. If this child is eliminated by Shangzong, then when the next batch of Jinlu Liquid is successfully stored, one or more jars will be selected and handed to the Wu Shiqing family's most potential advanced juniors to help this junior build a mysterious fetus.
Therefore, the Wu Shiqing family may not be in a slump due to heavy casualties, but instead can take over the family's power to govern the town decades later.
After hearing the whole story of this incident, Ding Xing couldn't help but think, if the "Four Heavenly Kings" knew that their children had such a tragic ending, would they choose to steal the Jinlujiao?
It seems that no matter how powerful the ancestor is, he cannot stop his children and grandchildren from becoming incompetent.
Ding Xing felt that the wine theft incident would come to an end: "Now that all descendants of the Four Heavenly Kings are dead, is the treasure chasing mission going to end?"
The sergeant shook his head exaggeratedly: "The mission will not be cancelled before the Lingjiao is retrieved, but the village has changed the task content and will no longer force it to go out in the future. The mission execution is completely voluntary! As long as the Lingjiao is in the village, there is no spiritual wine. No matter who finds the Lingjiao, you can take the remaining nine altars of golden dew liquid for yourself!"
This is a temptation behavior made by the village in order to increase the enthusiasm of the village people to go out to find the cellar.
But there is a big problem among them, that is, the Nine Ovens of Golden Dew may not be there. If they are drunk by mountain ants, they will be in vain.
Ding Xing had long had the idea of making a village, but he had not yet chosen a good place to visit.
At this time, he heard the news about Jinlu Liquid, and he was already inclined to go to the Juanchen Mountains.
However, the mountain is long and it takes several months to travel. It may take several years to go back and forth. He must settle the orange orchard and make sufficient preparations for a long journey.
He would never set out hastily, he was just kidding his life.
Let’s talk with the little brothers this day.
Ding Xing visited Wu Shiqing's mansion that night, one for visiting and the other for borrowing the demon slave Qingfeng.
This time he traveled far, he had to be equipped with a powerful mount.
When Wu Shiqing heard that he was going to Juanchen Mountains, he initially disagreed, thinking that his cultivation was too low and that he was too dangerous to go out for a trip.
Later, seeing that he was determined, he did not continue to object. He asked him one thing: "Your cousin Lianchen fell into the mountains and didn't know where to wander. When you arrive, be sure to find him."
A few years ago, Ding Xing returned from his hometown and met Wu Lianchen in the Spirit Beast Palace. He had a good impression of this cousin, so he asked: "How could his cousin fall?"
Wu Shiqing told him: "At that time, we followed Shao Gong to fight for the three corpses. He was besieged by several wild cultivators. He could not defeat four hands with a single punch, so he could only fight and escape while fighting. As a result, he lost his direction. When Shao Gong was about to withdraw, he could not contact him and had no chance to find him, but he must still be alive because his soul card had not been broken."
Ding Xing responded to this matter and promised to try his best to find it, but he did not boast that he would definitely find Wu Lianchen back.
Wu Shiqing also said that if he had a small force, he would try his best to save himself if he was in danger in the mountains and told him not to hurry to go. Recently, there were many village villagers who were willing to travel south in the village and asked him to travel together.
Ding Xing was not in a hurry at all.
In the next two months, he was preparing for the long journey.
He entrusted the affairs of the orange garden to Fang Liangu and Xiaowu brothers, and took out all the idle treasures on him, and went to Jiuzhuangji many times to buy the things he needed for his trip.
During this period, I also found a long-distance companion.
The day before leaving, he came to his right neighbor Wu Shizong and handed out a letter talisman.
This is one thing Ding Xing needs to arrange in the end: ‘I have kept a soul card in the farm. If I encounter an unexpected accident in Nanshan on this trip, please send this letter to my uncle.’
Three years ago, Ding Xing rescued Wu Shizong during the locust plague. After the disaster, Wu Shizong kept his promise and went to Binghua Mountain to invite Ding Chenzhi back, but was rejected by Ding Chenzhi.
Ding Xing can be exempted from the treasure hunting mission, but Ding Chenzhi cannot. If he returns to the village, he will still be sent out, and the danger is greater than that of Binghua Mountain.
This is one of the reasons.
Furthermore, Ding Chenzhi's recruitment period has ended. He is currently voluntarily staying in Binghua Mountain. Shangzong has successfully expanded and opened up new territory along the mountain. As the first group of followers, he was rewarded with 500 acres of mountain fields by Shangzong.
There are more wild cultivation near Binghua Mountain. I heard that the Wei Kingdom sects came to set up camps and all of them competed to join us. Ding Chenzhi recruited several servants to serve him, so he could practice without distraction in Binghua Mountain.
