Chapter 99 Departure
The commoner boy stretched out his hand and looked at his dirty sleeves. After a moment of hesitation, he wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Dad, it's so hot. How far is it to go up the mountain to Miaohua?"
The black-faced man held the reins and drove the carriage. He turned around and said with a smile: "Now you know you are afraid of the heat? Weren't you the one who had to follow me in the first place?"
The commoner boy swayed as the carriage jolted. He held on to the wooden frame of the carriage and complained: "How did I know it was so hard on the road!"
Looking up at the sky, the dark-faced man said: "If you bear with it a little longer, it will be cooler at night! We will be there in half a day's journey tomorrow." He looked back at the wooden boxes loaded in the carriage, "Qing Ling has been there in the past few years." The grass harvest is bumper every year, even if the 80% tax paid is removed, our village will still be left behind a lot!"
As the village chief, the black-faced man is obviously extremely proud of the bumper harvest of green grass in recent years.
The three-wheeled golden sun gradually disappeared. The black-faced man stood on the carriage and looked out. He could already see the huge outline of Miaohua Mountain in the distance.
However, what surprised him was that there was black air surrounding Miaohua Mountain. It was completely different from the misty scenery when he came here to pay taxes ten years ago.
But after all, it had been ten years, and the memory of that time was already a little blurry. The black-faced man didn't think much, picked up the reins, and rubbed the clothed boy's head with his rough hands. The father and son laughed and continued on their way.
…
On the huge platform of Shanwu Peak, Luo Chengyi looked around and saw that more than thirty disciples had gathered.
"Brother Ying, there are more than forty disciples who have signed up to participate, and there are still ten less to arrive."
An old man with a kind face smiled and said: "Brother Luo, it's just past Chen hour, please wait a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, several rays of light fell on the platform one after another and walked into the crowd.
Among them was a young man wearing a black Taoist robe with gold-rimmed rolled sleeves. His messenger was a black spiritual cloud, which attracted a lot of attention.
Another incense-burning time passed, and no one came here anymore. Even the kind old man Ying Wei frowned slightly.
"Brother Ying, there are still five people who haven't arrived yet. Don't wait any longer. Let's go." Luo Chengyi compared the jade slips in his hand with the mission and said.
"Can."
"You and other disciples of the Qi Sea Realm, take one flying spiritual weapon for every three people, so as not to be too spread out. Follow the two of me and don't fall behind."
All the Qi Sea Realm disciples responded one after another and turned around to look for someone closer to them to ride on the flying spiritual weapon together.
Xu Disheng had just taken out the black spirit cloud that he had just put away when a voice came to his ears: "Junior brother, can we ride together with you?"
The person who spoke was a disciple at the Qi Sea Peak Realm, his tone was gentle, and he looked at Xu Disheng with a little light in his eyes.
Another Qi Sea Peak Realm disciple next to him also smiled and said: "The two of us can pay four spiritual stones each for the round trip."
Xu Disheng gently flicked his sleeves and said, "It's okay, just come up."
After saying that, he stepped aside slightly, and finally Zhengqing and Wei Tianhe stepped onto the black spiritual cloud.
Wei Tianhe looked at Xu Disheng, the light in his eyes became brighter, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back and did not say anything.
"Junior brother, haven't you gone to watch the competition in the mountain?" Zhong Zhengqing didn't know Xu Disheng, and just regarded him as an ordinary disciple of the first level of Qihai.
"Aren't you taking a rest in the mountain competition? There are still more than ten days before the next round of competition." Xu Disheng said calmly.
When Wei Tianhe heard this, he became more certain of Xu Disheng's identity.
Yesterday, an acquaintance sent a jade slip from the Qinglian Dojo, telling him that a disciple at the first level of Qihai had defeated the 32nd-placed Jie Zizuo and was carrying two magic weapons!
The shadow of the disciple recorded on it is very similar to Xu Disheng! Therefore, Wei Tianhe pulled Zhong Zhengqing and walked over directly, wanting to go with him.
Zhong Zhengqing doesn't really care about things like the Great Competition. He is the kind of disciple who constantly takes on sect tasks. He can be regarded as half a lone ranger.
Together with Wei Tianhe, they both belong to Cining Peak. He discovered this medium-sized mission a few days ago and saw that there were two Daoji realm leaders. Based on his intuition from many years of doing sect missions, he realized that this was a less dangerous and rewarding mission, so he went straight to participate. .
In a moment, more than thirty disciples were divided into more than a dozen groups, with three people in each group, commanding a flying spiritual weapon. The advantage of this is that many disciples can avoid being scattered. Moreover, these two Daoji realms do not have flying spiritual weapons that can carry more than thirty people at the same time.
Although the owner of a flying spiritual weapon spends more spiritual stones, since he dares to take on medium-sized tasks, he only needs one or two spiritual stones.
Luo Chengyi glanced at the Qi Sea Realm disciples and said: "Let's go now. The remaining five disciples have not yet arrived.
Son, erase mission qualifications. "
After saying that, he and Ying Wei, another Daoji realm old man, took up the escape light and flew off the platform first. Their speed was not very fast, and they were obviously waiting for these Qihai realm disciples.
Xu Disheng activated the black spiritual cloud, and the dozen or so escaping lights flew up one after another, following the two Daoji realm light rainbows.
"Junior brother is only at the beginning of the Qi Sea, but he dares to accept the task of destroying ghosts. Besides, there may be evil ghosts among them. He must be from a top-ranked mountain?" Zhong Zhengqing was a little emotional. After all, looking around, this Among the more than thirty disciples of the Qi Sea Realm, there were only four or five who were in the initial stage of the Qi Sea Realm, but they all looked arrogant or indifferent, and they obviously had trump cards in their possession.
Xu Disheng was noncommittal and just nodded slightly.
Wei Tianhe recognized Xu Disheng and said with a smile: "Brother Zhong, cultivation level does not determine everything, but when it comes to this mission, I do know some inside information." He looked at the more than ten flying lights of various colors around him. Hong, "The leader of the Miaohua Sect in Guangxi Prefecture was a genuine Daoji beginner, but he died silently at the hands of a ghost. It's really scary!"
Zhong Zhengqing shook his head: "The two Daoji realms who led the team this time have different tasks from us. They not only need to eliminate a possible evil ghost, but also find out the real culprit behind the destruction of the Miaohua Sect. . The most we Qi Sea Realm disciples can do is swarm up from the side and kill a few fierce ghosts."
"This kind of medium-sized mission seems to be extremely dangerous because of the presence of evil spirits, but it is actually the safest mission relatively speaking." Wei Tianhe interjected, as if he was telling Xu Disheng specifically, "Many disciples saw this I avoid missions such as clearing out ghosts. I don’t know if there are two Daoji realm leaders who lead the team. Even if there is an evil ghost, it will just turn into ashes. This kind of mission is the most suitable for mixed mission rewards. .”
Obviously, like Zhong Zhengqing, he has taken on many sect missions and is already an experienced person.
"Deacon Ying Wei likes to take care of the younger disciples the most. If you go out with him, you will be safe." Wei Tianhe stood beside Xu Disheng and pointed at the Daoji level old man in the front who was driving the Escape Light.
Obviously, many people know this old man at the base level. He was born in the 109th peak, Valley Tai Peak, and is one of the deacons.
After more than seven hundred years, it is still stuck in the Daoji Peak realm, with no hope of a breakthrough. Seeing that there were still decades left in his life, Ying Wei thought about it and often came to take on small tasks or even medium-sized tasks. He was very helpful to these Qi Sea Realm disciples, so many disciples respected him.
