It was already evening outside and the sun was almost setting.
When the two people arrived at the new camp, they saw that the hillock had changed.
Because of the large number of people, the new camp was quickly built, and its scale was more than ten times larger than before.
The most conspicuous thing is naturally the greenhouses. Starting from the mountainside, there are a series of greenhouses. They are much larger than the one in the old camp. The roofs are densely covered with sun mirrors.
Xie Xiaoyu and Su Mingcheng saw the camp, and the people in the camp also saw them.
The first person to run out was Fa Qing, followed closely by Mazi. Both of them looked at Xie Xiaoyu and Su Mingcheng with envy.
"You're one step ahead of me." Mazi said in an extremely depressed tone. What was most depressing was that even Su Mingcheng had passed him. If he didn't hurry up, he might even pass Fa Qing.
"Don't worry, I keep my word. After the matter here is settled, I will help you find the Wutu essence." Xie Xiaoyu quickly comforted.
"I never said I didn't believe you." Mazi knew there was no rush. The most important thing at the moment was to find Li Guangzong's daughter. Besides, he had been waiting for many years and didn't care if he delayed for a few more months.
"Where's the uncle?" Xie Xiaoyu turned to ask Li Jinbao and the others. He was really surprised that the uncle didn't come.
¡°My father went mining.¡± Li Jinbao looked helpless.
Xie Xiaoyu understood as soon as he heard it. The uncle was anxious, so he used mining to numb himself. This is also a good thing, to be able to vent all the sorrow and anger instead of stuffing it inside.
"Where is Aunt Li?" Xie Xiaoyu asked again.
"It's still the same. If there is no news from my sister for a day, my mother will not get better." Li Jinbao was also anxious, but at least he knew one thing now. Instead of being anxious, it is better to work hard to improve his strength. As his strength increases, anything can be solved. .
"Who's taking care of it over there?" Xie Xiaoyu pointed toward the greenhouse. At first, there were only a few people, and everyone knew everything. Now, there are many people, and most of them are not very reliable.
"The old mine manager, Uncle Erzi, Aunt Erzi and Uncle Actor are taking care of it, and Uncle Chao is helping." Li Jinbao answered.
Xie Xiaoyu was finally relieved. With Uncle Chao here, no one could get in.
But he was also a little helpless. Uncle Chao obviously had the idea of ??giving up on himself. Among the people who practiced together at the beginning, the uncle made rapid progress, and several of the boys followed suit. They all reached the third or fourth level of Qi training. There were originally three elders left. Now that Lao Bai is dead, only Uncle Chang and Chao are left. Uncle, the eldest uncle has a weak temperament. Although he is the least diligent in practicing, his speed is not slow at all because of his compatible temperament. Uncle Chao seems to be too far behind. He has just started, and God knows when he will reach the realm of penetrating acupuncture points.
"I'll go see them first." Xie Xiaoyu said.
This is not to favor one over the other, that greenhouse is really too important.
I don¡¯t know whose idea it was? The new camp was divided into two. The area above the mountainside was used to build greenhouses, and the area below the mountainside was used to live in. There was a deep and wide trench halfway up the mountainside. The excavated soil was piled on one side of the trench to form a wall. There are also prohibitions on the wall.
"What's yours is yours, no one will steal it, no one will rob it." Mazi knew what Xie Xiaoyu was surprised about, so he explained calmly from the side.
"Thank you." Xie Xiaoyu nodded towards Mazi.
"If you want to repay me, help me find the Wutu essence as soon as possible." Mazi joked, and he turned and left.
Xie Xiaoyu crossed the trench.
The greenhouse was very empty, filled with rows of wooden shelves with nothing on them. The old mine manager, Uncle Chao, the second son, and the actor all gathered on the top of the mountain. There was only something on the wooden shelf here, which were copper pipes. The pipes were connected to the kettle. There was a fire burning under the kettle, and the pipes were covered with Quilt, with eggs neatly placed inside the quilt.
This is hatching chicks.
Before coming from Linhai City, Uncle Chao bought almost all the eggs in the city.
"Where are the most important things?" Xie Xiaoyu asked as soon as he came over.
Uncle Chao quickly walked to a row of wooden shelves and carefully opened a corner of the quilt.
The eggs under the quilt are a little different. They are full of yellow-brown spots. This is a wild egg, a species native to Tianbao Prefecture.
Like other creatures in Tianbao Prefecture, these wild eggs also contain toxins. Fortunately, the toxins in an egg are very limited. After they hatch, these toxins will be excreted little by little as they grow up. .
"Help me keep an eye on this egg, don't let anyone see anything unusual."??. Xie Xiaoyu turned to the old mine manager, Erzi and the actor and said, "Those people outside may not be reliable. At most, there are only a dozen or so people who can be trusted." "
"I know." The old miner knows best how evil people are, and Li Xier was deceived by an acquaintance.
"We won't move around at will, and we will only practice here when we have nothing to do." Erzi said this because he had learned from Xi'er's experience.
"I will tell Uncle Li that if anything happens in the future, either he will be responsible for delivering the message or I will come in person. You should ignore the others. Even if Li Jinbao asks you to do anything, you should leave it alone. It's not that I don't believe those few Boy, I'm just worried that they will be fooled," Xie Xiaoyu warned.
The three people nodded.
"Don't be discouraged. I have obtained a lot of medicinal materials from Shingle Hall. Next, I plan to refine a blood-changing elixir. This elixir has no effect on other people, but it is very useful for you. Uncle He, Er Zi, Actor, as long as the three of you can endure the pain, you can officially become a monk. Lao Chao, the blood exchange pill will also be useful to you. You can reach the perfection of blood refining in the shortest time." Xie Xiaoyu came here to comfort this person. three people.
"Can I go further? Is there any pill that can penetrate the acupuncture points?" Uncle Chao suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
"You can ask your uncle to help you open acupuncture points. Just open one acupuncture point." Xie Xiaoyu gave those three people a little more hope.
"It is true that the "Hercules Sutra" can be improved by relying on external forces, and you can practice it all the way to the realm of bone replacement, but it is impossible to go higher.
If you can¡¯t step into Xuanmen, everything will be in vain. At most, you will be free from disease and disaster, and live more than a hundred years.
"Brother, you should be able to help with this, right? Old Li" Uncle Chao was embarrassed to talk about Li Guangzong's current mental state.
"There is no true energy in my body, it's all sword energy. I can't help you open the acupuncture points at all. Besides, it's useless to use different types of true energy to open the acupuncture points. Other people's true energy will remain there, blocking your true energy from passing through. All the alien energy will be dissipated and the acupuncture points will be blocked again, which is equivalent to doing it in vain." Xie Xiaoyu said, his words cannot be said to be false, but they are not entirely true, because there are many techniques in this world that are very tolerant. For example, the Xuanji Sect's techniques are like this. If he asks Luo Wenqing for help, he will definitely be able to achieve his goal easily.
"However, he hasn't even repaid his own favor, so how could he owe such a huge favor to others again?"
"Do you know where Uncle Li is mining? I'll go see him." Xie Xiaoyu said.
"It should be the mine from before, right?" Erzi wasn't sure.
"Maybe he went into the valley." The old mine manager said. He was not very familiar with the uncle, but when it came to grasping people's hearts, he was much better than the second son.
"I'll go take a look." Xie Xiaoyu was a little anxious. Falling Soul Valley is not that easy to break into. Even with his current strength, he would not dare to wander around in Falling Soul Valley.
He turned around and walked out of the greenhouse, used the land flying technique, and ran down the mountain.
"What happened?" Mazi didn't leave far. When he saw Xie Xiaoyu coming out in a hurry, he immediately chased after him and asked.
"Li Guangzong may have entered the Valley of Lost Souls." Xie Xiaoyu said anxiously: "You keep an eye on it here, I'll come back as soon as I go."
The new camp is further away from the Lost Soul Valley than the old camp. Now they don't need to pay ore at all. The government and the mining club all turn a blind eye to them and have already acquiesced that the Lost Soul Valley is their territory. Since they don't If mining is needed, there is no need to build the camp too close to the Lost Soul Valley.
It took Xie Xiaoyu a stick of incense to run to the edge of the Falling Soul Valley. As soon as he entered the Falling Soul Valley, he knew that the old miner's guess was right. There were corpses everywhere along the way, including insects, snakes and beasts. Uncle It was obvious that he was possessed by something, and he would kill everything he saw, but he was actually allowed to forcefully kill and fight his way out.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance.
??
The place where the sound came from is a mile away from here. It is still the outskirts of the Lost Soul Valley. It is relatively safe and there are no powerful monsters.
Another sound came, and this time the ground shook.
Xie Xiaoyu quickly speeded up.
Suddenly a sword light shot up into the sky, and a trace of crimson blood was faintly reflected in the sword light.
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you." The uncle's roaring voice came from afar, with a hint of madness in the voice.
The sword flashed again, and this time blood splattered.
?The uncle kept waving the long knife in his hand, and each swing of the knife brought out a blade of light more than ten feet long. Opposite him, a monster shaped like an armadillo but about the same size as a cow was covered in scars.
"I'm going to kill you." The uncle shouted violently, spinning the long knife in his hand and stabbing out. This move combined chopping and thrusting.
The light of the sword drew out like a sword, penetrated into the monster's body, and then came out from the other side, followed by the bloody light that surged out.
"Okay." Xie Xiaoyu praised.
This sword has long been separated from his teachings. It is completely a sword technique that the uncle has learned on his own.
"Brother, it's you." The uncle put away the knife.
The monster was not dead. It already knew that it was no match for the uncle. When it saw another person coming out, it immediately turned around and ran away.
Xie Xiaoyu stretched out his finger and flicked it, and a piece of white light shot out, instantly penetrating into a wound. Then the sword light burst out from the inside out, and the monster beast only let out a shrill scream before being divided into many pieces.
This is the power of the tenth level of Qi training. You can flick your sword and make moves at will. There is no need to prepare in advance, let alone reciting incantations.
"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Let's talk after we go out." Xie Xiaoyu took the uncle's arm and dragged him away.
He walked in such a hurry because he felt a very powerful monster coming towards this direction.
Falling Soul Valley is full of monsters that even real people dare not mess with. He doesn't want to run into such things.
"Brother, II feel like I'm useless. I can't even protect my family." The uncle's voice was slightly choked. Men don't show sadness easily. Once they show sadness, they are extremely sad.
"I used to feel useless. When I first met you, I felt a fire in my heart. Later, I got better little by little. There is no obstacle in the world that I can't overcome." Xie Xiaoyu consoled her.
"Of course you can, because you have the strength." The uncle clenched his fists hard. At this moment, he only hoped to have Xie Xiaoyu's strength.
"Uncle, you have to be careful and control your emotions as much as possible to avoid going crazy." Xie Xiaoyu sighed.
"If you want to become a demon, you will become a demon, as long as it gives me strength." The uncle grabbed Xie Xiaoyu's arm and shouted loudly: "Teach me magic skills!"
"Uncle, I have always regarded you and Jinbao as relatives, so I don't want you two to go astray. The devil's path is easy to enter but difficult to escape. I have already regretted taking this path." Xie Xiaoyu's words came from the bottom of his heart. .
He first practiced magic skills because the recruitment order had come down, and he had to have the ability to protect himself in the shortest possible time. This was different from Mazi who practiced magic skills for revenge.
Xie Xiaoyu himself did not expect that he would go further and further on this road, and finally summoned the demon projection clone. There is nothing more tragic than this.
"I don't care. I don't practice for immortality. Brother, you should be very clear about my relationship with my wife. My wife is not qualified and has never been able to get started. She can live to be seventy or eighty years old at most. I don't want to be alone. For the rest of my life, I would rather walk in front of her. All I want is to be able to protect this family. Anyway, Jin Bao is worthy of it, and he should be able to become a real monk." The uncle became more and more excited.
Xie Xiaoyu had no choice but to persuade him. The uncle¡¯s words came from his heart and were definitely not influenced by inner demons.
"If you really want to learn, go find Mazi. The path he takes is more suitable for you. Although I understand it, I am taking another path." He gave helpless guidance.
The uncle knew that Xie Xiaoyu would not lie to him, and in the past chats with other people, he also knew something about the magic way.
"The path of demons can be divided into internal and external parts. Mazi introduces the demon god's clone into his body, borrows the demon god's power to speed up his practice, and enhances the power of his techniques. Once he reaches a higher level of practice, he can also obtain several magical powers. Xie Xiaoyu is raising and servicing demons, which is equivalent to raising cats and dogs. There will be no benefit in itself, but cats can catch mice and dogs can look after homes and homes.
"The two paths lead to the same destination in the end. The highest level of the demon sect is to become a demon god and live forever. Whether it is to attract the demon god's clone into the body, or to feed the demon, in the end, the demon god's clone or demon will be refined, and oneself will be transformed into a demon. But until then, the two approaches were completely polar opposites.
"Will he agree?" The uncle was not sure. He had a close relationship with Xie Xiaoyu, but his relationship with Mazi was very ordinary.
"I will say hello to Mazi." Xie Xiaoyu didn't care about the debt he owed to Mazi.
Suddenly, Xie Xiaoyu turned around and glanced into the distance.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???A dim fire flew straight towards this side, it was his letter to Master Shigaraki Hall.
He didn¡¯t expect news from Shingle Hall so soon.
The speed of the letter talisman is extremely fast, and the distance of more than ten miles can be reached in the blink of an eye.
Xie Xiaoyu raised his hand and took the letter talisman in his hand. The letter talisman turned into countless sparks, quickly formed a line of text, and then flew away in the blink of an eye.
"Have you ever heard of Xiaoshan Bieye?" Xie Xiaoyu asked with a frown.
The uncle didn¡¯t listen at all. At this moment, he was very excited. He pulled Xie Xiaoyu and asked: "Is this the news about my daughter? Do you already know where Xi'er is?"
"That man named Liu He lives in Xiaoshan Villa. As long as we find him, we will surely know the news about your daughter." Xie Xiaoyu didn't want to say too much at first, but seeing the uncle's excited look, he had to say Gotta be sure.
"I'll go there right away." The uncle clenched the long knife in his hand. Needless to say, when he went there, the first thing he did was fight the man named Liu.
"You can't go, caring will cause chaos, and if you go, it will be troublesome." Xie Xiaoyu will definitely not let the uncle go with him. The uncle is not in a good mental state now, and no one knows what he will do.
"I won't move without your order." The uncle was there to make a promise.
"That's not okay. People named Liu are not good people. What if they take your daughter as a hostage? If you are there, you should make the decision both emotionally and rationally" Xie Xiaoyu did not continue. , that¡¯s really cruel.
"I understand." The uncle understood the truth, and he really had to guard against this move.
"I'm also worried that there are spies from the Liu family among those people, so I need you to still pretend to be worried when you go back. I will take Su Mingcheng and Fa Qing back to Linhai City." Xie Xiaoyu found another one for the uncle who couldn't. Reason to go.
"Not bringing Mazi with you?" The uncle felt that it was not appropriate. Although he was not very strong, he could always gain experience by following Xie Xiaoyu, so he could see that Mazi alone was several times more powerful than Su Mingcheng plus Fa Qing.
"I don't plan to leave openly. After I go back, I will tell others that I plan to retreat for half a month. The place of retreat is the spiritual eye before. It is only useful to the three of us." Xie Xiaoyu said.
"Then how do you plan to get to Linhai City?" the uncle asked anxiously.
"Isn't this easy? There is a mine five hundred miles away. The three of us are not slow to walk. Five hundred miles only takes half a day. When we get there, we will find a way to get on the ship over there." Xie Xiaoyu I had already thought about it.
"Uncle is no longer demanding. It's very interesting that Xie Xiaoyu can do this."
With the distance traveled by the three of them, five hundred miles is indeed a trivial matter, but this is Tianbao Prefecture, and there are countless monsters lurking in the deep mountains and forests. Places like this that have never been traveled are the most dangerous.
