Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 45: Searching for My Wife
The map of "Nine Heavens" is extremely large, and the setting it reflects is that the human race has a boundless territory and endless mountains, but they are mostly inhabited by ferocious monsters.
In addition to the many cities built by Daxia that gather a large number of human beings, there are also many cultivation families and sects that have established mountain gates, human gathering places, etc. in places with spiritual veins in the wilderness.
Ziyang Mountains, a not very large mountain range.
It is located more than a hundred miles north of Zhenjiang City.
There are many small spiritual veins in the Zi Yang Mountains, which makes the concentration of spiritual energy near the Zi Yang Mountains higher than that of ordinary places, and is also of little benefit to the cultivation of cultivators.
And with the nourishment of these small spiritual veins, there are also many unpicked spiritual medicines in the Ziyang Mountains.
These small spiritual veins are looked down upon by the powerful sects, but for independent cultivators and some small cultivation families, the Ziyang Mountains are a Feng Shui treasure land.
Therefore, many low-level Qi-refining cultivators gradually gathered in the Zi Yang Mountains.
Ziyang Town is a small town built on the back of the Ziyang Mountains.
Because it was built in the primitive mountains, the mountain roads connecting to the outside world are full of wild beasts and birds of prey.
Therefore, the population of Ziyang Town is not large, about three or four thousand people, and most of them are cultivators, and there are very few ordinary people.
Today, the tranquility of Ziyang Town was disrupted.
A cry resounded through the sky, with such a terrifying and penetrating sound that it hurt the eardrums of the people in Ziyang Town.
The monks in Ziyang Town all looked up.
High in the sky, the wind was howling, and a giant bird appeared in everyone's sight.
It is five or six meters long, with a wingspan of eleven or twelve meters. Its black feathers exude a metallic luster, and its hooked beak is shiny black and sharp, which is extremely intimidating.
"Oh no!"
Someone said in horror.
Because after circling in the sky, the giant bird swooped down towards Ziyang Town.
So powerful!
Although there are many cultivators in Ziyang Town, they are all low-level cultivators. Among the thousands of people, there is actually not a single foundation-building cultivator.
The power exuded by this monster is definitely that of a second-grade monster.
The second-grade demon beast corresponds to the human race's foundation-building cultivators.
Relying on the monster's strong body, if this giant bird targets Ziyang Town, no cultivator will be able to resist.
What’s even more terrifying is that this monster is a giant bird.
If you feel the situation is not right, you can spread your giant wings and leave.
Flying in the air is an ability .
In other words, even if all the cultivators in the town were to unite, they might not be able to do anything about this monster.
"How could such a terrifying monster appear in Ziyang Mountains?" Everyone in Ziyang Town was terrified.
boom--
With a huge roar, like a meteorite falling, the giant bird suddenly landed in Ziyang Town, causing a gust of wind and raising a cloud of dust.
When the dust settles, you'll see the real scene.
Everyone in Ziyang Town couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because on the huge body of the giant bird, sitting upright were an old monk with white hair and a young man.
This giant bird is not a ferocious monster, but a tamed pet!
The people in Ziyang Town were shocked and puzzled.
Although the resources in the Zi Yang Mountains are relatively abundant, they are all low-grade spiritual medicines. Only down-and-out cultivators like them regard them as treasures. Any cultivator with a bit of background would disdain them.
And since the person in front of him could subdue a second-grade demon beast, he must be at least a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Why would he come to a small place like their Ziyang Town?
"Is this the place?" asked the old monk.
It was Deacon Cai Heng, and the young man who was traveling with him was naturally Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan looked around at the surrounding scene and nodded.
Ziyang Town is where Deacon Cai’s Taoist companions live in seclusion.
Only a small place like this would make Deacon Cai search for it for many years without finding anything.
Deacon Cai's eyes revealed all his urgency. He glanced at the silent monks of Ziyang Town and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anyone named Cai Xingchao in your town?"
——Zi Yang Zhen, Cai Xingchao, this is the final result of the task announced on the forum by the sword-cultivating player in the previous life.
The monks in Ziyang Town looked at each other in bewilderment; no one dared to respond.
Deacon Cai frowned, and seeing the fear on the faces of the cultivators from Ziyang Town, he understood something. Deacon Cai thought for a moment, then took out a third-grade spirit stone from his storage ring and said loudly.
"Whoever can provide me with the information first will get this third-grade spirit stone."
For these casual cultivators, a third-grade spirit stone is even worth their entire fortune.
Now, just by providing a piece of information, you can get a third-grade spirit stone.
Money can move people's hearts.
So even though they were afraid of getting into trouble, a brave cultivator in yellow soon stepped forward and said, "Senior, I know there is a young cultivator named Cai Xingchao in this town. I wonder if he is the one you are looking for?"
Deacon Cai's eyes darkened: "Lead the way!"
…
Under the guidance of the yellow-robed cultivator, a dilapidated small courtyard came into view.
"This is Cai Xingchao's home." The yellow-clothed cultivator said cautiously.
Deacon Cai looked at the gloomy small courtyard in front of him and felt depressed for a moment.
"Tell me the specific situation of the owner of this place." Deacon Cai said in a muffled voice.
The yellow-clothed casual cultivator looked at Deacon Cai and could not figure out the specific relationship between Deacon Cai and the owner of this place. He could only organize his words and said, "The owner of this place is also very miserable. Originally, a couple and their son lived here. The three of them were all cultivators..."
Upon hearing about the family of three, Deacon Cai's eyes twitched slightly.
“But three years ago, when the couple went deep into the Ziyang Mountains to pick medicinal herbs, they encountered the demon beast, the Crimson Pearl Snake. Although they finally killed the Crimson Pearl Snake, the couple were both seriously injured. After returning, the husband died of his injuries just two days later, and his wife was poisoned by the snake and has been bedridden for three years. It was all thanks to their son Cai Xingchao, who was at the third level of Qi Refining, who risked his life time and time again to go deep into the Ziyang Mountains to pick medicinal herbs in exchange for his mother’s life…”
The voice of the yellow-clothed cultivator gradually became quieter.
Because he found that as he explained, the face of this powerful monk in front of him gradually turned pale and his lips trembled constantly.
Seeing that Deacon Cai's face looked strange, the yellow-robed cultivator wondered if he had said something wrong and felt a little panicked. He did not dare to say anything more for a moment.
"Yun'er, why are you like this?" Deacon Cai was almost in tears. Finally, he couldn't help it, pushed open the gate of the courtyard and walked in.
The yellow-robed cultivator stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qingshan took out a third-grade spirit stone from his storage ring and handed it to the yellow-clothed cultivator.
"This is your reward. There is nothing for you to do here anymore. You can leave now."
The yellow-clothed cultivator's eyes lit up, and he excitedly took the third-grade spirit stone, and kept thanking him, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
