Chapter 23 Collecting Emperor Jade
Chapter 23 Collecting Emperor Jade
When Zhou Qing flew over the village, he saw many people in the village walking out of their homes.
Many young and middle-aged people ran out with sharp knives, and then hid in their homes to cover the elderly and children in the village.
Each of these young and middle-aged men is very burly, with fierce eyes. The posture of holding the knife is very standard, and they can fully exert their strength. At first glance, they are people who often use the knife.
Lei Ying also saw the people in the village at this time, and quickly shouted: "Don't be nervous, everyone, it's me, I'm here!"
Lei Ying kept waving her hands in the sky and shouting loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
Zhou Qing slowly landed with the Lightning Bird. The wind and dust on the ground were turbulent. Soon, everything calmed down and Zhou Qing and the others landed completely on the ground.
An old man walked out of the crowd and asked, "Why are you there? What happened?"
Lei Ying climbed down from the back of the lightning bird with two children, and then the two children quickly ran towards the village, as if they wanted to get away from the big bird.
Lei Ying looked embarrassed, but she still replied: "Wang Shu and Lei Bo wanted to go to a nearby oasis, and they wanted me to take them there. As a result, they met a wave of bandits on the road. Fortunately, this immortal saved them." killed us."
Zhou Qing stood aside and saw the villagers whispering to each other.
The Lightning Bird shrank again and stood on Zhou Qing's shoulders.
"Thank you, little fairy. These children are not sensible yet. If anything offends you on the way, please don't blame me."
The old man took a few steps forward and saluted Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing said: "Old man, you don't have to do this. You just do it casually. Are you the famous Mr. Zhang Wu in this area?"
After hearing this, the old man was a little confused, and then said: "It is indeed an old man."
"Then this is the village where Master Zhang stayed ten thousand years ago?"
"Yes, that Master Zhang is my ancestor." Master Zhang Wu looked at Zhou Qing nervously, wondering what he was doing here.
"Don't be nervous, old man. I know that your "Book of Origin" has been lost."
Zhou Qing said softly: "I want to enter Zishan and retrieve the "Yuantian Book", but I don't know from which direction I should enter Zishan."
Zhang Wuye looked at Zhou Qing politely at first and relaxed a little. But suddenly he heard that Zhou Qing was going to enter Zishan. He suddenly became nervous again and quickly advised: "This can't be done. The ancestors said, It is an ominous place there, and no one in the entire Northern Territory can provoke him."
Zhou Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, old man, I'm not attacking Zishan, I'm just bringing back the Heavenly Book from inside."
However, Mr. Zhang Wu still shook his head repeatedly and said: "No. No, it's too dangerous there. Going in rashly may cause big trouble."
Zhou Qing felt that he wouldn't be able to convince him for a while, and there was nothing he could do. He didn't want to force them. After all, he still wanted to conquer the village.
In this way, Zhou Qing had no choice but to say: "Then can I stay here for a while?"
This time Zhang Wuye agreed quickly and said: "Of course, it is our honor."
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Qing was introduced into the village.
This village is made entirely of stones and contains only a few dozen households. The total number of people in this village is only over 200.
The young and middle-aged people also put down their swords and went to do what they were supposed to do.
The stone house that the villagers vacated for him was relatively clean. Zhou Qing then sat cross-legged in the stone house and continued to practice until night.
In the evening, the villagers held a bonfire party as a welcome ceremony for Zhou Qing. Everyone had a great time.
The folk customs in the Northern Territory are fierce, and most people like to drink, and some women are no exception. However, it may be that Zhou Qing is too young, so no one comes to compete with Zhou Qing for drinks.
In the dead of night, Zhou Qing slipped out of his house and walked to Master Zhang Wu's door. He had already found out the location during the day.
The room was still lit, and the people inside seemed not to be asleep.
"dong dong"
Zhou Qing knocked on the door twice, and soon the door opened. A face with many wrinkles appeared in front of Zhou Qing. It was Zhang Wuye.
Some things are difficult to talk about in front of everyone during the day, so at this time, Zhou Qing will come over specifically to have a detailed discussion with Mr. Zhang Wu.
Obviously, Mr. Zhang Wu also guessed Zhou Qing's arrival and has been waiting for it.
"Little fairy, come in." Zhang Wuye took Zhou Qing into the house.
The two sat on the earthen bed, facing each other.
"Well, I'm not an old man and I don't want to take back the relics of my ancestors. A thousand years ago, that ancestor just didn't listen to the instructions of his ancestors and entered the mountain. As a result, he never came out again." Zhang Wuye sighed.
"Old man, I know as much as you do. The reason why I dare to go in is that I have a certain degree of confidence."
Zhou Qing smiled and said: "The ancestor should have left something behind. If you give those things to me, I will be safer when I enter."
Mr. Zhang Wu sighed repeatedly, as if he felt that Zhou Qing's ideas were particularly firm and difficult to convince.
Later, Zhang Wuye dragged out a large wooden box and took out many relics from it, including stone clothes made of Shenyuan skin, as well as some stone pendants, stone knives, astrolabes and other things.
"You are a good person. I can't change your mind. I can only give these to you, hoping to give you more hope of survival."
Zhou Qing did not hesitate and put all these things away. Then he asked which dragon vein the man entered thousands of years ago, and then asked about the distribution of the surrounding oases, especially Xuanyue Cave and Qingxia Gate. etc. location.
After asking all questions, Zhou Qing left the house and returned to his residence.
Before dawn that day, Zhou Qing had already gone out, took the Lightning Bird, and swept away the bandits around Shizhai.
Finally, after reading the memories of several people, Chen Dabeard's stronghold was found.
Zhou Qing stretched out his hand and threw it, and ten flags fell in all directions. Each of these flags was engraved with a blockade type pattern. After being spread out, the place was completely blocked.
"Who is this?" A bandit shouted when he saw Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing did not respond. After leaving an afterimage on the spot, his figure was like a ghost. He reached the extreme speed and disappeared in an instant.
At random, a seven-color divine power turned into a trace of sword energy, leaving a bloody hole the size of a thumb directly on the man's head.
Without even making a scream, the man immediately fell to the ground with his head thrown back.
However, his shout still attracted many people to come out, and a large group of people ran into Zhou Qing head-on.
Zhou Qing walked with wonderful steps, light and elegant, as if entering a deserted land, like flowing clouds and blowing wind, making it impossible for people to trace his trajectory.
Blood flowers bloom here, sad, beautiful, and shocking.
In the distance, Bearded Chen was almost scared to death, his body was trembling, looking at the corpses everywhere, he wanted to run away, but the next moment, a biting chill enveloped him.
"Are you Big Beard Chen?" In a flash of light, Zhou Qing appeared directly in front of him, with a cold expression and a cold tone. A chill hit Chen Big Beard, making his heart tremble.
"Ah, uncle, please let me go. There are people behind us. You won't feel better if you kill me!" Chen Bearded was both scared and tough, as if he thought this would make Zhou Qing more afraid.
"Did you get an incomplete ancient jade? Give it to me." Zhou Qing said coldly.
"I'll get it for you right now." Chen Dabeard quickly ran to a place, took out a piece of jade, then ran back, knelt on the ground, and raised it with both hands.
Zhou Qing passed his palm across it and put away the remaining jade. He could feel that there was an ancient and desolate atmosphere on it, and there were also some mountain topographic maps engraved on it. This was indeed a piece of imperial jade.
"Very good, very good, you cooperate with me so much, I have to give you a big reward, let you quietly ascend to the paradise world." Zhou Qing sneered.
Chen Bearded originally thought that Zhou Qing was going to let him go, but after hearing these last words, he knew that he was still going to die, and he immediately became cruel.
At this time, Chen Dabeard and Zhou Qing were very close to each other. His heart skipped a beat, and a blue light flew out of his sea of suffering.
This green light was very fast, and ordinary people would not be able to react at this time. But Chen Dabeard was only in the Shenqiao realm, so how could such an attack have any impact on Zhou Qing.
I saw two rays of light shooting out of Zhou Qing's eyes, and with a "click", the green light was directly smashed into pieces.
The green light fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. It turned out to be a full-moon scimitar, a weapon refined by Chen Big Beard, but it was directly smashed into pieces by the divine light in Zhou Qing's eyes.
Zhou Qing punched out, as if a surging river was rolling. Chen Dabeard was directly beaten to pieces, his body and soul were destroyed, and blood rained down.
Now the only living creature here is Zhou Qing. The ground is stained with blood, forming pools of blood. There are countless corpses lying here.
Then Zhou Qing soared into the sky, holding the Yang Seal with his hand, and a miniature and bright little sun appeared in the palm of his hand. Without accumulating any force, he threw it directly towards the stone forest below.
In an instant, the sky and the earth were completely white, and endless divine radiance flooded the ten directions, as if the Milky Way was leaking. Ocean-like energy swept through the stone forest. The stones were directly turned into ashes and slowly dissipated in the firelight.
After everything was over, there was only a big pit left. The edge of the pit was still extremely hot, and the soil was burned red.
After doing this, Zhou Qing left. The first piece of imperial jade had been acquired, and the next one was in the depths of Xuanyue Cave.
Xuanyue Cave is hundreds of miles away from here. It is located in an oasis. It is not too far away. Zhou Qing has arrived nearby in less than half a day.
This time Zhou Qing didn't want to go on a killing spree, so he took out a secret treasure, hid his figure, and after flying over many ravines, streams, and vine bridges, he finally reached the depths of Xuanyue Cave.
Although Xuanyue Cave also has experts from the secret realm of the Dao Palace, Zhou Qing's secret treasure was sacrificed by a Four-Pole monk, so they naturally couldn't find it. Zhou Qing easily went deep into the Xuanyue Cave and came to a strange place. land.
