Chapter 21 Chapter 21 'Senior Sister' said there was something dirty around her...
The Snow Dog quickly found out that Leng Yao was in the mission hall at the moment.
Qi Jiayi rushed over with Shu Qianqian, as she needed to verify something.
After returning to the sect, Qi Jiayi didn't see Leng Yao and thought something had happened to her.
When I learned that he was out on a mission, I was also confused.
It was all because Leng Yao did not go on the mission with Pei Hongmo and Su Chuwei.
You have to know that those two people were inseparable from Leng Yao in their previous life.
After checking the time, I found out that when Leng Yao went down the mountain, Pei Hongmo went to find her on the orders of his master, while Su Chuwei was recuperating at Yaofeng at that time.
The unexpected change seemed to be caused by her.
When the two arrived, Su Chuwei was so happy that he surrounded Leng Yao like a big fool, calling her "little junior sister" all the time.
When I looked up, I saw Shu Qianqian at the door.
The gossipy eyes of the Snow Spirit Dog turned back and forth: "Is this like a scene of catching an adulterer? Will there be a fight? It's exciting."
The Black Iron Turtle slowly raised its foot and stepped on him. The Snow Dog jumped up with a cry of pain. "Your weight will crush my toes. Uncle, do you want to cripple me?"
"Don't think before you speak." The Black Iron Turtle's voice was not loud, but very steady.
The Snow Dog shook its stepped foot and grumbled, "You are allowed to teach me, but I am not allowed to talk nonsense. What a double standard."
Leng Yao was the first to speak when she saw Qi Jiayi: "Fourth Senior Sister is back."
Qi Jiayi nodded and pointed at Shu Qianqian beside her, "Junior Sister Leng, let me introduce you to this little junior sister that Senior Brother brought back from the mountain. Senior Brother accepted her as a disciple on behalf of Master. Her name is Shu Qianqian."
Compared to Su Chuwei, Qi Jiayi would rather put on Pei Hongmo's eye drops in front of Leng Yao.
There was a flash of doubt in Leng Yao's expression, and she glanced at Pei Hongmo with a question in her eyes.
She was not a talkative person, so she just nodded at Shu Qianqian.
Shu Qianqian had been weak since she appeared in Yueyao Sect. Now she smiled softly and called out, "Fifth Senior Sister."
Leng Yao was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was no longer the youngest junior sister, and it seemed that her senior brothers and sisters were going to give her a gift.
She clumsily took out a bottle of pills from her ring and handed it to Shu Qianqian: "A gift for meeting you."
Shu Qianqian was a little surprised. Being watched by so many people, she reached out to take it, "Thank you, Fifth Senior Sister."
After giving and receiving gifts, the two had nothing more to say.
"Fourth Senior Sister, I'll go back first." Leng Yao suddenly spoke to Qi Jiayi.
"Hmm?" Why talk to her?
Su Chuwei looked at Leng Yao who was leaving, then looked at Shu Qianqian, and finally chased after Leng Yao.
Qi Jiayi felt a little bored. The two met in a very peaceful manner, without even a hint of war.
Except for Su Chuwei, everyone else looked anxious, but no one knew what he was anxious about.
This is different from what was expected.
The others dispersed, and when Qi Jiayi wanted to leave, she was stopped by a disciple from the Mission Hall, who said, "Junior sister, I don't think I've seen you come to the Mission Hall to hand over a mission."
Xueling Dog's feet no longer hurt at this moment, "I saw it, Pei Hongmo just talked to this person."
Qi Jiayi looked at Pei Hongmo who was walking over with a smile on his face, and said to the mission hall disciple: "To be honest, Senior Brother, I am here to make up for the mission today."
She was sincere and didn't make any excuses.
Seeing this, the disciple smiled and said, "Is that so? Then Junior Sister, please learn the rules for accepting tasks first, and then choose the task on the screen."
"Okay, thank you, brother."
When Qi Jiayi looked down at the task, Pei Hongmo stood beside her, his voice gentle and with a bewitching appeal, "Fourth Junior Sister, you haven't done any tasks yet, right? Choosing tasks is the most important thing. Do you need help, Senior Brother?"
"Big Brother, why did you bring Shu Qianqian to the sect?"
Pei Hongmo didn't expect her to be so direct: "Qianqian was covered in blood at the time, and I couldn't bear it so I took her back to the sect. I never thought that she would pick up your disciple token and mistakenly thought that you killed her uncle and brother."
Look at this frivolous excuse.
Qi Jiayi looked at the tasks and said without raising her head: "Senior Brother is a really kind person. Wouldn't it be a waste of your talent to be a beast tamer? If you go to the Buddhist sect, you should at least become a Buddhist disciple." "Fourth Junior Sister, this is your first time doing a mission. These tasks are good." Pei Hongmo seemed not to hear her sarcasm. He pointed at a few tasks and changed the subject.
They are all simple and easy to do. The only trouble is that you need to run to several peaks, which is particularly time-consuming.
"Junior Sister Shu has been in the sect for almost three months. She seems to be idle every day and hasn't done any missions yet. As a senior sister, I should take care of her. Give these to her. Senior Brother, please take over the mission for Junior Sister Shu, otherwise she will be gone soon."
These tasks are usually undertaken by menial disciples. The tasks are simple but time-consuming and tedious, and the rewards are small. They are suitable for disciples with low cultivation or who have not yet drawn Qi into their bodies.
Anyone with a little bit of cultivation would not take on these tasks.
Pei Hongmo raised his eyebrows. His fourth junior sister was really not easy to deceive. A disobedient child was not cute. How could he teach her a lesson?
The pupils of the Snow Dog trembled, and its huge body squeezed in between Qi Jiayi and Pei Hongmo, and kept pushing its butt against Pei Hongmo, muttering, "Oh my god, what a pervert you've never seen before."
His beast master is just a ten-year-old kid, what a pervert.
Pei Hongmo was pushed back repeatedly by the Snow Spirit Dog. Although his contracted beast, the six-tailed fox, told him that the Snow Spirit Dog disliked him, he didn't know why.
The Snow Spirit Dog was squeezing and suddenly trembled all over: "Tear, there is murderous intent."
Pei Hongmo narrowed his peach blossom eyes. His fourth junior sister was not lovable. Even the spirit beast she contracted with was not likable.
Qi Jiayi watched the Snow Spirit Dog pushing Pei Hongmo but did not say anything to stop it. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the man was pushed away, she quickly took over the task.
"It seems that Fourth Junior Sister has already chosen her mission. I wonder if she needs help from Senior Brother."
The Snow Dog shook its ears, a little scared but couldn't help cursing, "Get lost, can't we do it ourselves? Why do we need your help, a pervert?"
Qi Jiayi smiled and refused, "No need. If you are really bored, you can go to the zoo to sweep the manure."
He is usually invisible, but now he suddenly seems kind, who knows what he wants to do.
The other party's cultivation is now higher than hers. Although she is wary of him, she would rather avoid contact with him if possible. She will wait until her cultivation level improves.
Without giving Pei Hongmo any chance to speak again, Qi Jiayi flew away directly.
They went straight to the Misty Mountain where the disciples of Yueyao Sect were doing their missions. The mountain here was not too high and the level of the monsters inside was not high either, so it was very suitable for novice disciples to form a team to hunt monsters and pick spiritual plants.
"Junior sister, do you want to form a team? We are just one person short."
An older male cultivator saw Qi Jiayi alone, and smiled as he stepped forward to invite her to form a team.
Qi Jiayi shook his head, took out a long table from the ring and set it up, then took out a piece of silver-white gauze, quickly wrote a few words, and spread the cloth on the table.
Her strange behavior quickly attracted the attention of other disciples.
Qi Jiayi looked around and said, "Buy Gentian Flowers, Dew-Condensing Grass, Red Marrow Ganoderma, and Intoxicating Flowers at a high price."
These four spiritual plants are in great demand in the sect, but not many people take the mission to go to Misty Mountain specifically to pick them. Most of them take the mission to hunt monsters and pick these spiritual plants by the way.
If you pick enough, you can take on the task. If you don't pick much, you can sell these spiritual plants to the Medicine Peak in exchange for some spiritual stones.
Therefore, these tasks are always available all year round.
"Little Senior Sister, how much higher can your price be?"
The disciples waiting in the team nearby saw that she was short but had higher cultivation than her, so they asked curiously with a hint of teasing in their words.
Qi Jiayi: "It's four times higher than the original price. Do you have any spiritual plants for sale, Junior Sister?"
Hearing the price was four times higher, many people looked surprised.
One of the male cultivators dressed in inner sect disciple uniforms said, "How generous! How many spiritual plants can the little junior sister collect?"
Qi Jiayi looked at the person who was speaking, "How many do you have, Senior Brother?"
Many people laughed when they heard her talking so arrogantly, but she wasn't dressed luxuriously, and she didn't look like a rich second-generation rich girl who talked so arrogantly.
"Not many. For example, the most expensive intoxicating flower has seventy of them."
Qi Jiayi couldn't see through the other party's cultivation level, but he dared to say how much he had in public, which showed that he had the strength, otherwise he would have been snatched away by others long ago.
"The sect buys one Zui Xin flower for sixty spirit stones, four times that is two hundred and forty spirit stones, seventy plants for a total of sixteen thousand eight hundred spirit stones. Senior brother, do you want to transfer the spirit stones to the disciple token account or pay in cash?"
Qi Jiayi held the disciple token with a smile, looking like he was ready to pay at any time.
Seventy plants, the sect's mission was to deliver eighty-eight plants in one order, which saved her a lot of trouble.
The disciple didn't expect her to be serious, and his expression froze.
After a little hesitation, he said, "Take my disciple token."
The two exchanged money and goods. The male cultivator saw the extra 16,800 spiritual stones on the disciple's token and immediately said, "Junior sister, I still have Gentiana flower, Condensed Dew Grass, and Red Marrow Ganoderma. Do you want to take them all?"
Qi Jiayi was delighted: "Take it, take as much as you can."
"Do you want other spiritual plants? Like black frost flowers, phoenix tail fairy, and fairy fruit."
Qi Jiayi thought about it and realized that these were also part of the sect's mission, but the quantity required was even greater. "Collect."
The two of them started trading in public under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Male cultivators keep spiritual plants in order to complete missions for the sect. The points accumulated from the missions can be exchanged for magical instruments and treasures in the sect.
If I took it to Yaofeng to sell, I always felt that I would lose money if I sold it at a low price, so I kept it. I never thought that I would sell it at a high price this time.
He calculated the spiritual plants he had sold and realized that he didn't need to collect sect points anymore. He could use the spirit stones to buy a top-grade magical weapon.
The next moment, the person disappeared.
"Junior Sister, I have..."
"Little Senior Sister, I have some here too..."
Those who have spiritual plants, please come up quickly and trade with Qi Jiayi.
Someone stepped forward and asked, "Little Junior Sister, when will you collect these spiritual plants?"
Qi Jiayi took a look at the number of spiritual plants in his hands. Except for the first senior brother who had a large reserve, the others traded small quantities, just two or three, or at most a dozen plants.
Some of the tasks at hand are fully completed, but some tasks are still far from being completed.
"About three days."
After getting the confirmation, the disciples hurriedly called for a team to enter Misty Mountain.
"There are five tasks that can be handed in. Xiao Shi, you watch the shop for a while. If anyone comes to trade, just accept it. I have marked the spirit stones on your token." Qi Jiayi said to the Snow Spirit Dog.
Thinking that if she added a line of words on the cloth, the dog would definitely be able to count, Qi Jiayi was not worried at all that the Snow Spirit Dog would not do a good job.
The Snow Spirit Dog glanced at her and said, "You actually exploited the dog."
"The extra spirit stones are just pocket money for you."
The Snow Dog's expression changed instantly: "Go quickly and come back soon."
After completing the task in the mission hall, I took a look at the task panel when leaving and simply took on more than ten tasks, some of which required animal skins, bones, teeth, etc.
Take advantage of the time to collect now and do it all at once in the next few days to avoid being delayed by something else in the future and having the task left unfinished.
Upon learning that some people were buying spiritual plants, animal skins, etc. at high prices, many disciples formed teams and entered the Misty Mountain.
After completing four or five tasks, Qi Jiayi would deliver one, then look for other suitable tasks and continue to take on new ones.
This went on for two days, and she had already far exceeded her mission.
The people in the Mission Hall looked at her with something strange in their eyes.
Return to the entrance of Misty Mountain.
Shu Qianqian appeared at some point and looked at the Snow Spirit Dog with pity: "Isn't this Fourth Senior Sister's contracted beast? How did it get left here? Was it abandoned? It's so pitiful."
As he said this, he wanted to reach out and touch the snow dog's head.
The snow dog's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he bared his teeth and cursed: "I pity you, don't touch me, you jinx, I feel sick all over when I see you, pay for my skin."
Shu Qianqian ran behind Su Chuwei like a frightened rabbit: "Ah - Third Brother, it, it's so fierce."
Su Chuwei took out the beast bell and pointed it at the snow dog: "You beast, you dare to scare my junior sister, I will kill you."
The Snow Dog's pupils shrank in shock, "Fuck, you're sick."
With a dull 'bang', Su Chuwei's attack hit a light green round shield.
Only then did everyone discover that there was a black iron turtle under the table.
Shu Qianqian saw the black iron turtle's eyes flash, and the next moment, a sharp piece of soil brushed past her eyebrow. If Su Chuwei hadn't pulled her back, her face would have been scratched.
Su Chuwei frowned and said, "Qi Jiayi, you are harming your fellow disciples again."
"What? Your mouth stinks! Then I'll wash it for you." As he said that, he switched to water attack this time.
Su Chuwei and Qi Jiayi have similar cultivation levels and should not be suppressed, but Shu Qianqian holds them back, so the two of them are hiding in a very embarrassing way.
"Crazy, Qi Jiayi you are a lunatic." After the battle on the competition stage, Su Chuwei's foul mouth habit has not changed at all.
"You want to die? Are you so upset?"
There were disciples coming and going at the entrance of Misty Mountain, and many of them laughed when they heard this.
Only Su Chuwei was furious, and as he opened the ring, he yelled, "Swift Wind."
When the six-winged flying long-toothed tiger is released, its size is very intimidating.
Upon seeing this, the other disciples moved away and did not get involved in this feud.
"What are you doing? Are you all trying to get locked up because of internal fighting in the sect?"
A young man's voice sounded with a hint of intimidation.
The person who was speaking was wearing the clothes of a disciple directly taught by the main peak, and a feather crown on his head, with the demeanor of a true gentleman.
Standing next to him was Leng Yao with an indifferent look on her face.
"Senior Brother Xia." Shu Qianqian saw the man, smiled, lifted her skirt and walked forward to greet him, then looked up at him obediently.
summer?
Snow Dog suddenly realized: "Could it be that he is your fiancé Xia Qingming? All five male protagonists are gathered together."
Five? Qi Jiayi didn't understand where the number was five, but now was not the time to chat with the Snow Spirit Dog.
Su Chuwei opened his mouth and bit back:
"It's not that I want to start an internal fight. As you all saw, she was the first to start the fight. She has a history of harming her fellow disciples. She is a repeat offender."
Qi Jiayi patted the dust off her hands. She didn't even use any weapons, so how could this be considered an internal fight? "Stop slandering me. The brothers and sisters present here have all seen that you were the one who wanted to kill my contracted beast first. Touching a beastmaster's contracted beast is no different from touching a sword cultivator's sword. I want to ask, which sword cultivator present here can endure such humiliation?"
"I can't stand it. I can't stand it."
"Yes, this is unbearable."
"I really can't stand it."
The disciples who were watching the show nearby started to speak up, with some expressing their sympathy while others expressed their ridicule.
The disciples who were eager to exchange spiritual plants for spiritual stones didn't care about their grudges: "Junior sister, are you still going to accept the spiritual plants?"
Qi Jiayi: “Receive.”
Ignoring Xia Qingming and Leng Yao, they came over on their own.
However, Xia Qingming did not know Qi Jiayi. It should be said that although the two were engaged, they had never met.
In comparison, Xia Qingming and Leng Yao knew each other earlier.
"Sister, why are you collecting these spiritual plants?"
Leng Yao's voice was emotionless, as if she was just asking casually.
Qi Jiayi lied casually: "Oh, I plan to change my job and go to Yaofeng to be a pharmacist."
Su Chuwei interrupted her immediately: "You are lying. You are doing a sect mission. You are cheating."
Qi Jiayi paused as she tapped the spiritual plant. "So, you guys came here to cause trouble on purpose."
Shu Qianqian felt guilty for a moment, then turned her eyes away and continued to look at Xia Qingming.
Su Chuwei sneered, "Don't take yourself too seriously. Junior Sister is just curious about your situation. Who told this beast to be mean to Junior Sister?"
Qi Jiayi looked at him like an idiot: "You are such a jerk. You start talking about Xiao Shi being abandoned. How pitiful. What's the matter? You are pretending to be blind to such a big mess. Who are you trying to disgust?"
"you……"
"What do you mean by 'you'? We have a grudge against each other, don't you know that? You come to provoke me just to get beaten, right? See you on the competition stage next time."
Having just come down from the competition stage, his injuries have not yet fully healed. Su Chuwei's shoulders ached when he heard the word "competition stage".
He did not hide his hatred for Qi Jiayi.
Shu Qianqian suddenly interrupted, looking aggrieved and weak, "Stop arguing, it's all my fault. Fourth Senior Sister, don't blame Third Senior Brother. It's my fault, you blame me."
Su Chuwei couldn't bear to see Shu Qianqian crying, so he pulled her behind him to protect her, and said to Qi Jiayi fiercely: "Don't bully Junior Sister, come to me if you have anything to say."
Qi Jiayi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The Snow Spirit Dog said as he was picking up the spirit stone: "It's so funny. Shu Qianqian scolded him for being stupid in her heart, and she also looked down on him for his low fighting ability, saying that he couldn't even beat you."
As he said that, he suddenly sighed, but then said cheerfully: "Su Chuwei, really, I cried to death, what he thought in his heart was exactly the same as what he said, and he was still protecting his little sister."
Well, stupid inside and out.
From their conversation, Xia Qingming also understood what Qi Jiayi was doing.
To be honest, there have been disciples who have paid high prices to buy spiritual plants to complete missions before, but their prices were not as high as hers.
And giving up before completing a task is such a loss.
"Junior sister, do you know why the sect arranges these tasks?"
As soon as Xia Qingming opened his mouth, Qi Jiayi knew that he was going to start educating her.
"I know. It's to give my disciples a chance to train and gain practical experience. Don't worry, I'm just making up for the tasks I missed before. Once I've made up, I'll do the tasks seriously." As for how many tasks she's making up, no one would know if she didn't say: "Brother, do you have these spiritual plants? They can help me finish the tasks earlier."
Qi Jiayi's words blocked Xia Qingming's attempt to preach.
Leng Yao searched in her ring and said, "I have some here, Senior Sister, take them."
The Snow Spirit Dog wagged its tail wildly at Leng Yao: "She really wants to help you."
Qi Jiayi certainly knew that Leng Yao had not done anything to offend her, but many of her misfortunes were caused by her.
Qi Jiayi is the most conflicted towards Leng Yao. He can't hate her, but he can't like her either.
"Not bad, not bad, there are quite a lot. I'll give you four times the price. You can keep the spirit stones."
Leng Yao shook her head: "No need for spirit stones, Senior Sister, please complete the task as soon as possible."
Qi Jiayi stuffed it directly into her arms and said, "Give her as many spiritual stones as you have spiritual plants. It's the same for everyone."
She doesn't want to owe anyone a favor, it's not worth it.
Leng Yao and Xia Qingming went to Misty Mountain to complete a mission. Logically, Xia Qingming, a Jindan cultivator, would not come to Misty Mountain even if he was on a mission. Misty Mountain was a place for disciples of the sect with cultivation below Jindan to complete missions.
Qi Jiayi's eyes moved between the two of them, and it seemed that they were going to accompany Leng Yao.
Shu Qianqian showed great interest in Xia Qingming and wanted to follow her, so Su Chuwei naturally followed as well.
While they were away, Qi Jiayi quickly collected the spiritual plants and closed the stall.
Su Chuwei is a simple and stupid person, and he has a grudge against her.
Qi Jiayi had to be on guard because she was afraid that he would report her.
The next day.
When she was summoned by the Mission Hall, Qi Jiayi's guess was correct, she was really reported.
However, she had already completed the mission, and the sect did not have a rule that prohibited collecting other people's spiritual plants to complete missions.
But because someone reported the matter to the Mission Hall, she had to complete an unpaid field mission as a punishment.
The Snow Dog carefully examined Qi Jiayi's forehead and said, "If the beauty was here, she would definitely say that you have a black forehead."
This is so unlucky.
Qi Jiayi looked at the task in his hand. The task location was in a place called Chuanqiong Village. The task indicated that there were monsters causing trouble in the village. The first group of people who went there had dealt with the monsters, but they did not expect to encounter a formation and were trapped.
An urgent message came asking the sect to send people to rescue them.
Generally, when going on missions, a team consists of at least three people and at most five people. When Qi Jiayi saw the other four teammates, he immediately thought of changing the mission.
"Senior Sister." When Leng Yao saw Qi Jiayi, a hint of warmth flashed across her frosty eyes, but quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Xia Qingming had a complicated expression.
Su Chuwei still looked dead.
Shu Qianqian smiled and nodded at Qi Jiayi, calling her obediently, without showing any grudge between them: "Fourth Senior Sister."
Qi Jiayi looked at the disciple who was issuing tasks in the Mission Hall and said, "Brother Xia, it's too tiring to lead four Qigong practitioners alone. I'd like to apply for a different task."
The disciple from the Mission Hall smiled and shook his head, saying, "Junior sister, you are the only one who has no choice."
Qi Jiayi: “…”
After leaving the sect, Xia Qingming took out an ark and took all four of them on board.
"Brother Xia, what is this..."
"Senior Brother Xia is amazing, he can also do this..."
Along the way, Shu Qianqian was heard asking Xia Qingming questions and praising him.
Su Chuwei was whispering beside Leng Yao, teaching her the tips on raising spirit beasts.
The Snow Dog rolled its eyes and said, "Your fiancé thinks Shu Qianqian is so cute, so well-behaved, and so good at talking. His favorability towards her is increasing rapidly."
The next moment, Xia Qingming called out to Leng Yao: "Junior Sister Leng Yao, didn't you say you wanted to learn how to control the Ark? I'll teach you."
Qi Jiayi glanced at the snow dog.
Doubt flashed in Gouzi's eyes: "Did this man change his mind so quickly?"
Qi Jiayi saw that the Ark was shaking just now, and Su Chuwei pulled Leng Yao, and then Xia Qingming spoke.
Xia Qingming taught Leng Yao how to steer the ark. Shu Qianqian interrupted from time to time as if she was learning it herself, and Su Chuwei also came over.
Shu Qianqian: "Brother Xia, do you want to control this side?"
Su Chuwei's voice had a hint of disdain; "Don't make trouble, you'll disturb Junior Sister Leng."
Shu Qianqian widened her eyes, puzzled as to why Su Chuwei spoke to her in such a tone.
Her almond-shaped eyes immediately filled with tears, and she looked at Su Chuwei with tearful eyes: "Third Senior Brother, do you think I'm stupid?"
Touching Shu Qianqian's tears, Su Chuwei was stunned for a moment, and said in a panic: "How could it be, little sister, don't cry, don't cry."
Shu Qianqian no longer learned how to steer the Ark. She turned around and walked to the end of the Ark and began to sob. Su Chuwei followed her.
When passing by Qi Jiayi, he said viciously: "Bitch, if you laugh again, I will tear your mouth apart."
A sharp earth thorn rose from Qi Jiayi's palm: "Ugly thing, if you bark again, I'll kill you."
Xia Qingming turned around and gave the two of them a cold look: "My team does not allow internal fighting."
Su Chuwei walked away with a reluctant look in his eyes, and began to coax Shu Qianqian in a low voice.
The Snow Spirit Dog shook his head as he watched: "There is no mental hospital in your world of cultivation, otherwise you should send him in."
Qi Jiayi felt bored after watching for a while, and lowered her head to play with the disciple token, thinking that she had suddenly left the sect to complete a mission without telling her senior sister.
Xunli: [Junior sister, I told you to be careful when you go out. If you encounter any trouble, please inform me immediately. ]
Qi Jiayi: [My forehead is black again? ]
Xun Li: [I can’t see it, but the hexagram shows that there is dirt around you. ]
Qi Jiayi: [So accurate. ]
She also said that her fortune-telling was not accurate, but how could it be accurate? Isn't there something dirty around her? What a big lump.
Qi Jiayi: [Senior sister, I have a suggestion: do more fortune-telling in the future. ]
Pay less attention to facial features.
It’s not that face reading is inaccurate, but there is a high delay.
--
Chuanqiong Village is quite far from Yueyao Sect, but the Imperial Ark is faster as it travels through the sky, and it arrives in about two hours.
From afar, you can see smoke rising from the village, and everything is in order.
When we got off the boat at the entrance of the village, we saw several elderly people gathered together.
Because they were wearing the uniforms of Yueyao Sect disciples, one of the old men came forward and introduced himself as the village chief.
"They are the Taoist priest and fairy from Yueyao Sect. I am the village chief. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar."
The village chief of Chuanqiong Village is an octogenarian. Although he looks very old, his legs and feet are still quite flexible and he doesn't use a crutch.
It doesn't seem much from a distance, but when you get closer you realize that the houses in the village are all thatched houses with mud walls.
Xia Qingming was here to rescue someone. He was a cultivator and didn't want to be polite with ordinary people. "Where are the cultivators that Yueyao Sect sent to the village to kill the monster trapped?"
The village chief shook his head: "I don't know about this either, but those Taoist priests all went to the back mountain and never came down."
"Back mountain?"
The village chief raised his hand and pointed at a green mountain facing them, "That's the mountain."
Xia Qingming glanced at the other three and ordered, "Junior Sister Leng and I will go investigate first. You guys don't wander around. Wait here."
Shu Qianqian tiptoed and said softly, "Brother Xia, Qianqian also wants to help."
Xia Qingming had cooperated with Leng Yao before, so he gave such an order subconsciously. Seeing Shu Qianqian like this, he admired her, but did not change his mind. He said, "Be obedient, we will be back soon."
Having said that, the two of them left first.
There were three people left, and the village chief pointed to the road to the village and said cheerfully: "The road to the back mountain is long, I'm afraid it will take some time, the three Taoist priests, please follow me to my home to have a cup of tea and rest."
Su Chuwei and Shu Qianqian did not refute, but just nodded.
As I walked into the village, I found that the village was full of old people and there were almost no young faces.
Because the Black Iron Turtle was outside, Qi Jiayi and the Snow Spirit Dog had to share its weight, so the man and two beasts walked slowly and gradually fell to the end.
Qi Jiayi walked forward a few steps, caught up with the village chief and asked, "Village chief, why don't we see any young people in the village?"
The village chief was asked for a long while before answering: "Young man, go out to work, go out to work."
Su Chuwei folded his arms and said, "Why do you care if there are young people in the village, you gossip."
Qi Jiayi simply ignored him. If it weren't for the protection of Heaven, that mouth would have been blown to pieces by her.
Black Iron Turtle usually spoke little, but every time he spoke, he spoke to the point: "The roadsides and fields in this village are all planted with Chuanqiong, and the village is named after Chuanqiong. How can the young people run away instead of staying at home to serve the herbs? This doesn't make sense."
The Snow Spirit Dog didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "It's normal for young people to like to explore. Besides, working outside is definitely more promising than staying in a shabby village."
Black Iron Turtle: "Fool, there are not only no young people here, but also no middle-aged people."
Yes, it is understandable for young people to go out, but middle-aged people should not abandon their elderly mothers and fields at home.
Qi Jiayi looked at the elderly faces one by one and said in a voice transmission: "There are no children in this village yet."
Snow Dog heard sparse noises since he entered the village. The further he went into the village, the more he heard. He couldn't help but raise his paw to rub his ears: "Don't analyze it. I always feel that this village is very noisy. It makes my ears uncomfortable."
Quarrel?
Qi Jiayi and Xuan Tiegui did not feel it was noisy. Instead, they felt that the village was exceptionally quiet. Perhaps it was because all the people there were elderly, so there was not much noise.
The three of them came to the village chief's house and entered the yard. The two elderly women and three old men, like the rest of the people in the village, stared at them.
"Xinghua, there are guests at home, hurry up and make some tea."
After the village chief spoke, one of the old women in warm yellow clothes responded, "Hey."
"Sit down. Our home is simple, I hope the Taoist priest and fairies won't mind." The village chief wiped the stool with his sleeve.
Shu Qianqian glanced at the bench but didn't sit down, and Su Chuwei also stood without sitting down.
Qi Jiayi kept looking at those old people.
It is normal to have elderly people in the family, but if there are only six elderly people, with no middle-aged, young people or children, that is very abnormal.
There are also Chinese kumquats planted in the yard. It seems that they should be harvested, but they are left to grow wildly without any care.
Soon, the old woman came out with three cups of tea.
The snow dog kept scratching its ears with its paws.
Because the Black Iron Turtle was short, he observed these people carefully, but no one paid any attention to him.
Suddenly he said, "Go find someone to talk to, except the village chief."
Qi Jiayi glanced at the black iron turtle, and although she was puzzled, she walked towards another old woman: "Auntie, you have planted a lot of Chuanqiong here."
The old woman did not move, as if she were deaf.
Qi Jiayi frowned slightly, thinking that the other party was deaf and was about to change someone, but the old woman seemed to be able to hear again and nodded, "Yes, I planted a lot."
The Black Iron Turtle's voice came again: "Go talk to the village chief."
The snow dog's ears were itchy and he didn't forget to tease: "You treat them as NPCs to complete tasks."
Qi Jiayi turned to look at the village chief and asked casually, "Village chief, how many households are there in your village?"
The village chief, who had just smiled, still had a smile on his face, but he did not answer her immediately. After a while, he said, "Haha, not many, about fifty households."
Without the Black Iron Turtle saying anything, Qi Jiayi also noticed that something was wrong with these villagers.
"Village Chief, where is your toilet?"
"The toilet is in the backyard."
"Oh, thank you." Qi Jiayi went straight to the backyard.
The village chief's voice came from behind: "Fairy, drink the tea before leaving. It is a magical tea freshly picked from the mountain."
Hearing his words, Qi Jiayi walked faster.
After passing the corner, she immediately put the Black Iron Turtle and the Snow Spirit Dog into the ring, and jumped out of the backyard over the wall.
The people in this village look normal, not to mention their age. However, when you talk to them, there’s a strange feeling about them, some...slow.
Qi Jiayi returned to the village road he had just walked through, released the two contracted beasts, and when he saw a villager he went up to talk to him.
After doing this for a few times, I figured out the pattern. These villagers seemed to be controlled by someone. They could walk, but it was more difficult to have a conversation with them.
She could only ask one person at a time, and any more than one person would not work, as the person controlling it seemed that the person was not skilled enough.
The Snow Dog shrank back behind Qi Jiayi: "These...are not people?"
"It's a human. He has the breath of a living person." This is also something Qi Jiayi doesn't understand. At least from the surface, it is indeed a human.
Qi Jiayi patted the snow dog and said, "Can't you hear other people's thoughts? What are they thinking?"
The Snow Spirit Dog shook his head: "No, these people have no thoughts in their hearts, just like the beauty."
As he spoke, he suddenly shook the fur on his body and shuddered: "This village is so noisy, with sparse voices everywhere, and it makes my back numb."
Qi Jiayi took out his disciple token and informed Xia Qingming and Leng Yao of his findings.
If there is something wrong with the village itself, then the mountain behind might be a trap.
The Snow Dog began to feel uncomfortable all over: "Hiss~ There are so many rustling sounds, and they are so close. Ahhhh, it's so uncomfortable. No, run."
Qi Jiayi put away the token, but did not run away. Instead, he erected a wall of earth in front of him.
Block the villagers that appear.
The villagers changed their current slowness and stretched out their hands to scratch the earthen wall. Everyone's eyeballs became abnormal, scarlet as if stained with blood.
The Snow Dog took two steps back and hid behind Qi Jiayi: "Zombies are surrounding the city, bah, a wall of earth."
"Wait a minute, I think I heard someone talking."
The Snow Dog distinguished the sounds carefully, "Widow Liu's coat, Widow Liu's coat, Liu..."
Qi Jiayi: "That's enough."
"I really heard it. Someone was talking about Widow Liu's jacket."
"who?"
The Snow Spirit Dog looked at the group of villagers who were shouting anxiously in front of the earth wall. As the rustling sounds became louder and louder, he had no idea who was talking.
It's really embarrassing for the dog.
The Snow Spirit Dog suggested, "Why don't you just shout 'Widow Liu's little jacket' and trick them."
"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
She certainly wouldn't shout, she couldn't do such a shameful thing.
More and more villagers came over, and Qi Jiayi raised and widened the earth wall to enclose all the villagers inside.
Due to the pushing and shoving, some villagers fell down, and some people took advantage of the situation and stepped on the fallen people to climb up.
Qi Jiayi frowned, formed seals with his hands, and a column of water gushed out from the air, pushing the villagers back.
A scolding voice suddenly sounded: "What are you doing? As a cultivator, you actually attacked ordinary people. This is a blatant violation of the Yueyao Sect's rules."
Su Chuwei appeared, his face full of indignation and anger in his eyes.
Shu Qianqian held the blue phoenix and said innocently, "Fourth Senior Sister, the villagers are innocent. Even if you are unhappy, you shouldn't take it out on them."
The Snow Dog scratched his ears and complained: "Are they completely blind?"
Seeing the two men singing the same tune, Qi Jiayi raised the earth wall and sent the villagers directly to them: "You two kind-hearted people, please take good care of these villagers. If they lose a hair, I will go to the Discipline Hall to sue you for abusing ordinary people."
Without looking at the expressions of Su Chuwei and Shu Qianqian, Qi Jiayi collected the Black Iron Turtle and left in the opposite direction with the Snow Spirit Dog.
The villagers are behaving strangely. Could the person behind them be hiding in the village?
The village is not big, but searching every house takes a lot of energy.
Not long after, the Snow Dog looked in the direction of the sound and warned, "Those villagers are chasing us again."
"Waste." Qi Jiayi curled her lips. She couldn't stop herself from feeling disgusted with Su Chuwei's incompetence.
There are only a few houses left to explore.
I don’t know what controls these villagers. They look very old, but their legs and feet are in good condition.
In order not to be disturbed, Qi Jiayi turned around, clasped his hands together and formed a seal. A mud wall rose from the ground and surrounded the villagers who were chasing him.
In order to prevent them from trampling on people and trying to climb out, Qi Jiayi mixed water with soil, and the height was just above the villagers' waist, trapping their lower bodies in the mud. Even if the villagers tried to grab with their hands, they could not get out of the mud for a while.
The whole process is very quick, only a few dozen breaths are enough.
The Snow Dog glanced at the artificial swamp, then looked at Qi Jiayi: "If you were put in a post-apocalyptic story, you could open a zombie farm."
Not understanding, Qi Jiayi ignored it.
Turning around to check the remaining houses, Qi Jiayi dodged sideways when suddenly a fireball attacked him.
The fireball landed in the corner. Most of the houses of the villagers in Chuanqiong Village were thatched huts with earthen walls, and the fireball quickly ignited the firewood in the corner.
"There's a fire, there's a fire, put it out quickly." When the Snow Dog saw the fire, it bit the broom leaning against the wall and was about to put it out.
Qi Jiayi didn't understand why it was so afraid of fire, so he made a gesture and put out the fire with water.
The Snow Dog breathed a sigh of relief: "That was a close call. It almost caught fire."
Qi Jiayi looked in the direction where the fireball had just attacked.
Above the roof, Shu Qianqian was no longer as obedient and delicate as before. The blue phoenix in her arms opened its mouth and spit out another fireball towards her.
Qi Jiayi waved his sleeves and used magic to disperse them.
"Is she crazy? Wait, her eyes are red." Xueling Dog looked at the villagers who were controlled, and then looked at Shu Qianqian on the roof: "Is she controlled?"
Qi Jiayi looked around vigilantly. Shu Qianqian had been controlled, so what about Su Chuwei?
With that man's brain, Qi Jiayi didn't believe he would survive.
Even if Su Chuwei was not controlled, given his hatred for me, I had to be on guard.
The next moment, Qi Jiayi dodged almost instinctively.
With a loud bang, the hut that was just intact was destroyed by the huge impact.
In the stirred up dust, a huge monster shook off the dust on its body.
Turning my head, I saw its long fangs and wings that had not yet taken shape.
Qi Jiayi recognized it at a glance, it was Su Chuwei's contracted beast - the six-winged flying long-toothed tiger Jifeng.
The eyes of the Blue Luan Bird and the Six-winged Flying Long-toothed Tiger are normal, but their owners all have scarlet pupils.
Qi Jiayi took out the iron sword from the ring: "Two idiots."
Less than three quarters of an hour after they entered the village, both of them were under control.
The Snow Dog looked at the destroyed house with wide eyes: "How rude."
Qi Jiayi glanced at it and said: "If you have this kind of attack power, I will increase your animal food by 3,000 spirit stones every month."
"Don't try to feed me like a pig. I won't be fooled."
"If you are not good at it, practice more and make fewer excuses."
The snow dog snorted and turned away.
Between Shu Qianqian and Su Chuwei, the weakness lies in Shu Qianqian.
Although the Blue Luan Bird is a descendant of the Phoenix, it has only been hatched for a short time. Apart from being able to spit out fire, it is nothing to be afraid of.
Qi Jiayi’s cultivation level was higher than Shu Qianqian’s at the fourth level, so she directly suppressed her.
When Su Chuwei rushed over to rescue people, he used the magic rope to tie Shu Qianqian and the blue phoenix in her arms into a dumpling.
The Snow Dog looked at her method of binding and hesitated to speak: "Why did you stuff the Blue Luan Bird's mouth into Shu Qianqian's mouth?"
Don't you think this is perverted?
"It can spit fire, and she can order it to spit fire." No matter how powerful the magic rope is, it cannot withstand fire. This is easier, so just shut up.
Snow Dog: "You, this..."
Although he found it difficult to understand, the Snow Spirit Dog quickly took the disciple token to take a photo as a souvenir.
"Roar——" The roar came from far away.
Hearing the noise, Qi Jiayi picked up Shu Qianqian and shook her like a pendulum.
The six-winged flying long-toothed tiger was about to rush to her, but was stopped urgently, leaving behind a series of sharp scratching sounds of its claws on the ground.
"Hiss, my nails are almost broken. How painful it must be." The Snow Dog said while looking at his own claws.
With Shu Qianqian in his hand, Su Chuwei didn't dare to move rashly.
The Snow Dog had a strange look on his face: "He was cursing you in his heart, and it was so dirty."
Dirty translation is not possible.
Qi Jiayi frowned slightly. How could she curse her in her heart when she was being controlled?
How do the people behind the scenes control them?
"She didn't scold me?" Qi Jiayi glanced at Shu Qianqian.
The Snow Dog rolled his eyes: "You made me dizzy."
Qi Jiayi swung Shu Qianqian around and looked at Su Chuwei provocatively: "From now on, I will call you Su Idiot. You were controlled as soon as you entered the village. Don't say you are a disciple of Yueyao Sect when you go out. It's shameful."
The scarlet color in Su Chuwei's pupils suddenly faded, and he even yelled, "Put my little sister down!"
However, the redness in the pupils faded away for only a moment and soon returned to normal.
That roar was just a moment of anger.
Qi Jiayi was so confused by his change that he forgot to shake Shu Qianqian off. He even grabbed Shu Qianqian and looked at her, but she showed no signs of waking up.
"Look at Su Chuwei, he is struggling internally right now, he keeps thinking about saving Junior Sister, he really is, I am crying my eyes out."
Su Chuwei's pupils were a little redder than before, but his face was distorted and it was obvious that he was struggling.
Qi Jiayi recalled what he had just seen: "Did you see what was in his eyes? After he woke up, it quickly crawled all over again."
The Snow Dog's expression changed from playfulness to shock: "... Damn, no wonder there were rustling sounds. My back felt numb when I heard them. It must be bugs again."
His expression was indescribable. He had originally forgotten what happened in the Yan family, but now the scene that made him feel sick was brought back to his mind.
"No, my skin is itchy all over now." The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, as if thousands of bugs were crawling on his body, and he wanted to roll on the ground.
"Why do these evil cultivators like playing with insects so much? They don't have any good stuff to show off. It's trash, disgusting, and perverted."
Seeing it scratching its ears and cheeks, Qi Jiayi began to feel uncomfortable: "If you feel uncomfortable, just peel off the skin."
The Snow Dog shook its fur and said with a firm look in its eyes, "Don't try to destroy my innocence. Between death and social death, death is the worst."
