"Buzz"
On the silent star array slab, white light ignited again.
The flickering light quickly condensed into a light cocoon, as if a god opened his eyes. In the endlessly flowing light, Jiang Xia walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.
Ruyue, who had changed into the long skirt of a nun from Ku Mu Realm, also followed him with her head lowered and her eyes submissive.
After the two walked out of the star gate, the operation of the star array slab fell silent. A furry claw reached out and pulled the spirit stone out of the groove. The only remaining white light immediately dissipated.
Old Jiang turned around, took the star array slate handed over by the silly monster, and threw it casually. The moment the slate left his hand, it fell into the air like rippling water.
On the other side, Rogge also quickly caught the star array slab that fell from the sky.
With two points of positioning, he can use a high-energy battery pack to open the star gate to the MAGA world at any time in the wasteland.
But he didn't tell me about it first.
Lao Jiang returned to Ku Mu Realm and took a deep breath of the spiritual air in this southern wilderness. His whole body seemed to come alive. He moved his shoulders and limbs and looked back.
The wolf demon was talking to Ruyue, next to the hot spring that they left eight days ago.
Gu Miao is not here. He must have gone back to Longxin Village.
"Are you all ready?"
He asked.
The silly monster raised his head and said carelessly:
"Everything is ready. We can go to Star Valley anytime. The Third Prince has come to ask many times. He seems a little impatient. Also, Boss, that little fat guy...
He did something big these days."
"Hmm? What's the big deal?"
Jiang Xia asked curiously.
The wolf demon lowered his voice mysteriously and said:
"He ran back to Longxin's main camp, and it is said that he beat one of his brothers to a pulp in front of his father! He was so ferocious that the two great witches nearby couldn't stop him.
That’s the brother who hired someone to kill him.”
“This reaction…”
Old Jiang was embarrassed for a moment, he glanced at Ruyue and said:
"It's much better than you were before."
"How can a little girl compare with the young chief?"
Kisaragi said nonchalantly:
“However, Qian Duo’s attack was so ferocious, probably because he had suffered too much injustice in the village over the years. This honest man, once provoked, if he thinks about some things, it will be very scary.
But that’s a good thing.”
"Indeed, it's a good thing."
Jiang Xia nodded in agreement and said:
"It seems that Qian Duo has made up his mind to cut off all ties with Longxin Village and move away from the Southern Wilderness to live in the East. He is a decisive man.
Didn't his foolish father scold him?"
"No."
The wolf demon shook his head, pushed his eye patch up again, and said:
"Not only did he not scold them, it is said that the chief took advantage of this incident to severely punish his lawless children.
They also expelled the two incestuous guys from the village.
The entire Longxin main village has been in turmoil these past few days."
"Um?"
Old Jiang frowned now.
He sensed something unusual from Long Xinmaha's reaction, the same feeling he had the last time he heard the Third Prince Shi Rui talk about his own affairs.
"Something's wrong."
Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin.
explain:
“His treatment of Qian Duo was not right. Outsiders said that Chief Maha was very dissatisfied with his young son, but now it seems that it is somewhat similar to the reaction of our Fengming country’s old king to Shi Rui.
Although he seemed dissatisfied, he actually had some expectations for the little fat boy.
even……
Even the deliberate alienation over the years might have been to protect the fat boy from being harmed by clan politics. What was the origin of the fat boy's mother?
Is there any hidden reason behind her being poisoned?"
"Qian Duo himself doesn't know the inside story."
Kisaragi shook her head and said to the boss:
"When he told us, his disgust for his father and Longxin Village was real. Maybe he was kept in the dark. If we want to find out the truth, we probably have to find that Wuhe Great Witch.
Isn't it said that Wuhe Great Wizard is also from the fat boy's mother's clan?"
“I can’t find it.”
The silly monster listened to the boss and Ruyue discussing these things, as if it was listening to a divine book. It didn't like to use its brain very much. When it heard the name of Wuhe Great Wizard, it suddenly raised its head and said:
"Great Witch Wuhe left Longxin Village a few days ago. It is said that he went to travel in the West Sea. He will not be back for four or five years."
"Um?"
Jiang Xia and Ruyue immediately looked at each other.
The timing of the great wizard's departure was a bit too coincidental.
As soon as the fat boy exploded, he left immediately, looking like an elder who was leaving only after seeing his child finally grow up.
This matter...
There must be some inside information!
"Don't think about that for now."
Jiang Xia shook his head and put the matter behind him for the time being. The fat boy was not really one of theirs yet, and everyone had their own destiny. There was no need for Old Jiang to worry too much about the affairs of a lucky guy with a Kang destiny.
"Let's go back to the village and meet the fourth brother. I need to tell him something. We will set off for Star Valley early tomorrow morning."
——
At noon the next day.
On a beautiful butterfly wooden kite, the third prince Shi Rui, wearing Mohist Taoist robes, said to Jiang Xia with great interest:
"The fourth son of your family is quite powerful. I have been with him these past few days and watched him use his tricks to train the noble lady of the Southern Wasteland into obedience.
Since we haven't even gotten married yet, everything is arranged by the fourth brother.
Women from the Southern Wilderness have always been aggressive. In our Fengming Country, there have been wealthy merchants who married women from this area before, but they all ended up badly.
The fourth child in your family is truly a remarkable man."
"He has always been the best at doing pornographic things."
Jiang Xia sat cross-legged on the Butterfly Kite, flicked the ash aside, and said:
"As Kunlun Square expands, I'm sure there will be more women sent to him. It all depends on how the fourth brother handles it. He seems to enjoy it.
Uh, there is one more thing, Brother, that wooden kite you lent me before was broken by me."
Old Jiang said to Shi Rui somewhat embarrassedly:
"But don't worry, I'll give you one as compensation."
"Compensation? How are you going to compensate?"
Shi Rui widened his eyes and said angrily:
“That was the first Mo Shuang magic weapon I made after I entered the sect. It is also proof that I am a disciple of Mo Shuang Mountain. I use it easily and it has accompanied me for many years. It is my favorite thing.
Good job, Jiangxia!
I lent you my beloved thing out of pity for you being expelled by your master, but within a few days, you broke it!"
His tone was dissatisfied, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
Obviously just kidding.
The third prince is an open-minded person and gets along well with Jiang Xia.
I will never ruin the relationship because of external things.
"I know that you like new things."
Jiang Xia took out a roll of blueprints from his ring, stuffed it into Shi Rui's hand, and said with a wink:
"This is just perfect. After we new disciples join the sect, one of the first small competitions is to check whether the wooden kites we made by ourselves are up to standard.
But you know me, brother. I don’t really like these traditional and conservative things.
So I designed myself a new means of transportation.
Brother, please help me with some advice."
"Hmph, that's more like it."
The third prince snorted proudly, and the handsome guy quickly unfolded the blueprint in his hand and examined it carefully. Soon, he frowned and turned to Jiang Xia and said:
"This... looks a bit strange. And this thing called 'Floating Cannon' looks novel, but our Mo family's means of transportation do not have weapons of killing."
"Times are changing, brother, and we craftsmen must keep up with the changes."
Jiang Xia flicked the cigarette butt away.
The wooden kite was still flying quickly. Although the oncoming wind was blocked by the power of the ink talisman, the cigarette butt was sucked into the wind the moment it flew out and disappeared quickly.
He said to Shi Rui:
"Besides, won't you have to put these gadgets on your armor later? Just practice with them first, so that you won't be so confused when you upgrade your armor in the future."
"That's true."
Shi Rui nodded, looked at the drawings, and said no more.
Jiang Xia turned around again and looked at Long Xin Qianduo, who was sitting in the back, looking very autistic, playing with some magical instruments. He said:
"Little Fatty, I heard you did something big these days?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
Qian Duo did not raise his head and replied in a muffled voice:
"Boss, don't mention it either, okay?"
"Okay."
Jiang Xia shrugged, changed the subject, and continued:
"Brother Shi Rui has armor for the sect competition, what about you? There are only two months left, what are you going to take to participate in the competition?
I tell you, it’s okay for you to rely on that toad of yours to bully those at the same level, but in this sect competition, the third and fourth generations of disciples are fighting together.
When fighting against Chu Qiao, Liu Yun and other True Realm cultivators, Ah Fu can do very little to help you."
"I don't know either."
This question is very realistic, and it pulled the fat boy out of his depression.
He raised his head, looked at Jiang Xia blankly, and said:
“I have just started the art of making magic weapons. Although the Azure Dragon Wooden Book is magical, it is slow to learn. If I were to compete with my senior brothers in magic weapons, I would definitely not be able to do it. I am not as good as you, the boss, who have so many magic weapons in your hands.
After thinking about it over and over again, I really don’t know how to break the deadlock.
Actually.
If I lose, I lose. I can take it easy.
I am just afraid that I will lose miserably and bring shame to my master."
"I can help you."
Old Jiang was laughing like a fox who had stolen a chicken. He patted the little fat boy on the shoulder and whispered:
“I have some good stuff, the Ash Treasure Medicine you saw last time, and the new Divine Martial Treasure Medicine. After a while, maybe I can find some… well, some rare treasures of good fortune.
If it really doesn't work, I can find you some magic weapons from the Hongyan Club to help you save face."
These words made the little fat boy feel a chill in his neck.
He looked at Jiang Xia suspiciously, and after a few breaths, he said timidly:
"Then boss, how do you want me to pay? I don't have much money to give you right now."
"Alas, you and I are brothers in the same school, real brothers with different surnames. Talking about money is vulgar and hurtful. Don't worry, I won't ask you to borrow money."
Jiang Xia snapped his fingers, looked at the endless forest ahead, and said:
"I just need you to help me do something during the sect competition. When the time comes, I will tell you. Don't worry, I won't let you do anything bad.
Also, give me your blood. This specially made divine medicine needs to be prepared with blood essence...
Alas, one drop is enough!
Why did you cut your hand so big? Are you hurting yourself in front of me?"
“…”
"Boss, I already scratched it, why didn't you tell me earlier? You must have done it on purpose, right?"
——
Xinggu, a large canyon next to the Great Manglin.
Although it is a canyon, its area is not small.
It is two-thirds the size of the Great Manglin, and its location is quite peculiar, being sandwiched right between the Great Manglin, the holy land of spirits - Yandang Pond, and the major ghost cultivation sect - Qihuang Valley.
It just happens to serve as a buffer zone between various forces, and thus has become a typical lawless area.
It is said that this is the base camp of all kinds of evil cultivators and evil creatures in the Southern Wilderness.
No one knows how this situation came to be. It is said that evil cultivators had already settled here three or four hundred years ago, but there are no ancestor-level figures here.
The strength of the evil cultivators hanging around inside is at most just entering the realm of spiritual cultivation.
If an evil cultivator in the realm of seeking the Tao were to appear here, I'm afraid neither Yandang Pond nor Qihuang Valley would tolerate him. For those evil cultivators, the more chaotic West Sea is their paradise where they can display their talents freely.
In short, Xinggu is a very evil and mysterious place.
It feels like an "evil practice training camp", and now, after a day and a half of flying, Lao Jiang only has the last stretch of journey left to get here.
"Boss! Helya's signal detected ahead!"
While discussing the new means of transportation with Shi Rui on the wooden kite, Jiang Xia suddenly heard Ru Yue's warning in the chip communication. She said in a serious tone:
"It seems that they are in battle. Helya's life signal is weakening! She is just over ten kilometers ahead of us!"
"Um?"
Lao Jiang narrowed his eyes suddenly.
"I've long heard that the evil cultivators in Xinggu are vicious and domineering, but they're already bullying us before we even see them."
"Speed ​​up! Rush over! Kill them!"
