Chapter 54 Do You Have a Taoist Partner?
Until she saw Zhou Changwang taking another detour, and there happened to be a monk walking with them. The other monk would not follow them and continued to move forward without hesitation.
puff!
Then, just after he rushed out more than ten feet, a sharp arrow suddenly pierced the sky and hit his chest directly, piercing the entire thing.
"ah……"
As soon as the screams were heard, a warrior was seen, quickly bursting out from the grass and slashing across with a sword.
The monk's head suddenly flew up.
Casual cultivators do not have the luxury to take a picture of themselves as an amulet at any time.
If you are unprepared, you will not be able to escape death if you are attacked by someone unexpectedly.
Qian Xiaoyue's face turned pale.
It was too fast and too sudden.
She never expected that someone would set up an ambush not far away and attack the passing monk.
If she hadn't followed Zhou Changwang around the corner and continued forward, would she have been the one who was pierced by the sharp arrow and slashed to the head?
But how did Zhou Changwang predict in advance that there was an ambush ahead?
Zhou Changwang also noticed the situation not far away, and his expression changed slightly.
Naturally, he didn't know that there was an ambush at the intersection ahead.
It was just that under the derivation technique, I sensed a faint red light flashing in that direction, so I instinctively changed the direction.
Unexpectedly, someone actually set up an ambush to attack the monks who were passing by.
"It seems that the effect of this 'derivative technique' is indeed not small. At least in terms of safety, it is much greater than others."
Zhou Changwang was thinking in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop at all. He was very familiar with this road. He had to walk back and forth almost every day before.
Sure enough, after a while, he saw the familiar land ahead.
It is where his spiritual field is.
And it was obvious that there were many people who thought the same thing as him. From a distance, he saw a few slightly familiar figures, all of whom were spiritual farmers at the foot of Changling Mountain.
At this time, most of the people with their families came here to take refuge.
"Changwang, you're here too, is this... you have a Taoist companion? This is not authentic, you don't even know to inform us?"
As soon as Zhou Changwang came closer, a little old man stepped forward quickly, looking behind him.
This little old man is Lao Xu.
He has been in Fangshi for decades, but he is very alert.
I had long discovered that something was wrong in Fang City. As soon as the incident broke out, I took the whole family and ran to the outskirts of Fang City. Slowly I saw more familiar spiritual farmers, and I relaxed a lot.
"This is my neighbor Qian Daoyou, an alchemy apprentice from Liufang Pavilion."
Zhou Changwang also breathed a sigh of relief at this time and introduced smoothly.
The large number of people can indeed give people a sense of security. Even if most of the people present are spiritual farmers and their strength is not high, with so many people gathered together, they are not afraid even if they face Jie Cultivators of average strength.
"Alchemy apprentice? Alchemy apprentice is good, his status is much higher than us spiritual farmers..."
Lao Xu suddenly stood in awe, and rolled his eyes. He didn't know what his intention was, but he still looked at Zhou Changwang and asked, "What about your father? Why didn't you come with him?"
"He has returned to the mortal world."
Zhou Changwang explained.
"That's good.
This time, it was really too sudden, and I didn’t know what the final result would be.
Fortunately, everyone here is familiar with each other, and the Zhao brothers are willing to allocate a side house to us for the sake of being spiritual farmers at the foot of Changling Mountain. With their brothers here, we don’t have to worry too much about safety. ...By the way, this is my grandson Xu Jiang. He has the three attributes of metal, wood, and fire. He has just begun to lay the foundation, but he will soon break through to the first level of Qi training. Fellow Daoist Qian, I heard that you guys To make alchemy, you need to have fire-attribute spiritual roots. My grandson has a pretty good talent. You have a high status and extensive knowledge. Can you help see if he has any talent in this area..."
As Lao Xu spoke, his eyes fell on Qian Xiaoyue again, and he quickly pulled his grandson over and introduced him. He obviously wanted to introduce his grandson to Liufang Pavilion through Qian Xiaoyue.
"I'm just an alchemy apprentice."
Qian Xiaoyue just said coldly.
Although she usually looks weak and weak, she is very determined and ignores this problem at all.
Zhou Changwang also glanced at his grandson. He was only twelve or thirteen years old. When he looked at them, he looked at them with a look of disdain. It was not until he heard that Qian Xiaoyue was an apprentice in alchemy that he changed slightly. .
But when he heard the other party's flat refusal, he also changed his expression, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Grandpa, I will join the Qingyuan Sect in the future."
"Yes, yes, but with this skill, won't it give you an advantage when you take the sect entrance examination in the future?"
Xu Fugui persuaded.
Zhou Changwang smiled faintly, and then, at the greeting of another spiritual farmer, he walked towards the Zhao brothers' side room.
They had walked all the way and really needed a peaceful place to rest.
As for Lao Xu's grandson, he is just a spoiled child and he doesn't care.
"Old Xu is too doting on his grandson.
In the future, we may suffer losses. "
The person who greeted Zhou Changwang was Lao He. He Youtian had a wife who worked in Linji Restaurant. Zhou Changwang had asked Lao Xu to ask him about Linji Restaurant's acquisition of spirit insects. Apart from the fact that he didn't have much interaction with Lao He. , the spiritual field is a bit far apart, and because Lao Xu and the other party are neighbors, they are more familiar with each other.
But in the end, Lao Xu took over the matter, and he didn't bother to ask more.
Looking at the other party's attitude now, I don't know if he is really magnanimous or not.
"Originally, our spiritual farmers have been in a panic recently, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen again.
This world is really difficult."
He Youtian led the way and spoke at the same time.
"What?"
Zhou Changwang was stunned.
"You don't know.
Since the autumn harvest, not to mention anything else, at least five spiritual farmers have died in this area at the foot of our Changling Mountain.
Two of them died outside, and we can't judge.
But three died in their own homes.
So we judged that it was done by acquaintances."
He Youtian said.
"Who died? Acquaintances? Which acquaintances?"
Zhou Changwang frowned.
Qian Xiaoyue also showed curiosity.
"Lao Jiang, Zhang Fan, and Xu Zhong, all three of them died in their own homes.
You also know that although the rent of our outer houses is expensive, they are guarded by formations after all, and ordinary people can't get in, and dare not break in by force.
But they are all dead. If it wasn't done by an acquaintance, who else could it be?
By the way, I wonder if you still remember the rice thief some time ago?
I suspect that the one who killed them is likely to be this rice thief.
It's just a pity that Lao Xu and his friends were on guard some time ago and didn't catch him, otherwise Lao Jiang and his friends might not have died..."
He Youtian hurriedly spoke, saying seriously.
Zhou Changwang nodded, and inexplicably thought of Wang Chang whom he met some time ago.
He also felt that it was very likely that he was the one.
After all, if the other party targeted him, they might also target others.
