After Fu Changsheng announced the retreat, Liu Meizhen asked Fu Molan about going to Taiyun County in Jingzhou that day, but Fu Molan did not respond:
"Mother, it's a critical moment for me to refine the second-level puppet. I won't be able to get away within a few years. I'm afraid you will have to find someone else."
If it were Fu Changli or Fu Changli.
Even if they have important matters at hand, if the mistress orders her, they will definitely comply as soon as possible.
Fu Molan obviously had more ideas.
Liu Meizhen was not annoyed at all. She pondered for a while and said:
"Mo Lan, in that case, how about you replace Uncle Fei and help guard the spirit stone vein in Liang Yun Mountain?"
The Lingshi mine is managed by Fu Yongyi.
also.
There is also a mountain-protecting formation.
Unless there is a strong enemy attacking, the foundation guard guarding this place does not need to come forward, and Fu Molan can safely refine her puppet, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Fu Molan immediately nodded and said:
"Mother, if Elder Ouyang is willing, I will have no problem."
Liu Meizhen smiled and said:
"Uncle Fei has a temper that can't wait any longer. He will thank you for staying in that boring Liang Yunshan for him for a while."
Finished.
Liu Meizhen immediately sent a message to Ouyang Fei, and within a while, Ouyang Fei replied happily, willing to follow Liu Meizhen to Taiyun County in Jingzhou.
Seeing this, Fu Molan immediately packed up his things and went to Liang Yunshan to hand over to Grandmaster Yu.
Liu Meizhen found Fu Changli, who had just returned from Shiwanda Mountain to rest:
"Fourth sister, sister-in-law, could you please help me go to Shangguan's house and ask them to rent a treasure ship that can carry tens of thousands of people."
The Fu family rented Shangguan's treasure ship not once or twice.
Fu Changli agreed immediately.
Liu Meizhen returned to the head of the family's house, and all five children gave instructions. Fu Changli rented the treasure ship back and followed Ouyang Fei on the road.
Taiyun County is actually adjacent to Jingzhou.
It is across from the fiefdom of the Yuwen family in Huaibei Prefecture.
The two of them were riding on the two-headed blue-eyed python. Ouyang Fei felt the flying speed of the blue-eyed python and praised:
"Mei Zhen, if your flying spirit pet is faster, it will catch up with Zi Mansion's overhaul. And it seems that your spirit pet has the potential to turn into a dragon. Not bad."
With this two-headed blue-eyed giant python, they were able to arrive at Taiyun County at least ten days in advance.
Arriving at the border of the Situ family fiefdom.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Liu Meizhen still handed over the greeting card.
Situ Feng glanced at the small words "Juan Xiu" on the greeting card and asked the tribe:
"Only the Fu family's mistress?"
"Reporting to the young patriarch, in addition to the Fu family's mistress, there is also an elder with a foreign surname recruited by the Fu family."
Situ Feng knocked on the table.
Some time ago, at the Wanning Chamber of Commerce's auction venue, No. 68 was sitting in the private room next to him. From the breath that the other party inadvertently exuded, he could determine that the person sitting inside must be Fu Changsheng.
Fu Changsheng announced his retreat after returning from Wanningfang City.
Now Liu Meizhen suddenly wants to run to Taiyun County:
"What kind of medicine is sold in this Fu family gourd?"
The mysterious box at the auction flashed through Situ Feng's mind. If he hadn't saved the spirit stone until the end to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would definitely not have given the treasure to anyone:
"Could it be that Fu Changsheng really unlocked the box?"
He pondered for a while.
Situ Feng waved his hand:
"Let him go directly, and send a message to the spies staying in Taiyun County, asking them to keep an eye on the Fu family's arrival in Taiyun County."
"Yes, young patriarch."
The tribesmen took the order and left.
Liu Meizhen and the others waited for a while.
The Situ people personally led them across the fiefdom.
After others leave.
Ouyang Fei whispered:
"I heard that Situ Feng is now in charge of the Situ family. After this young man came to power, the Situ family became well-connected and easily avoided disputes with other aristocratic families. The Situ family ushered in rapid development under his hands, and The other party is already in the late stage of foundation building at a young age, and the whole Huaibei Mansion is spreading rumors that he is the most promising person among the Huaibei family to break through to the Zi Mansion. "
If not.
Liu Meizhen will not hand over the greeting card in person.
Coming down from the Taisi Mountains of Situ's family is the boundary of Jingzhou. A military border town has been set up here. As soon as the two arrived, the soldiers guarding the border town came forward:
"Stop, where are you from? Please show your identity tokens?"
Soldiers build their foundations and cultivate their abilities.
In the military border towns, if anyone dares to disobey orders and act without permission, the soldiers in the border towns have the right to kill first and report later.
Liu Meizhen and Ouyang Fei didn't dare to make any mistake and handed over their identity tokens.
General Zhou took the token, turned his right hand over, and a diamond-shaped mirror appeared in his hand. As he punched a spell into the mirror, the mirror lit up with a thin white mist. He threw the token into it, and the white mist rolled. Zhou After some sensing, the soldiers felt it.
The law is over.
The token returned to the hands of Liu Meizhen and Liu Meizhen.
In the big week.
All monks who enter the practice must register their identity at the relevant yamen in Dazhou. Otherwise, they will not be able to leave the state for the rest of their lives. Moreover, the court will randomly check their identities from time to time. Once they are found to be unregistered, they will be imprisoned until someone comes forward. They come to guarantee and verify their identities before they are released.
General Zhou hit a magic spell in an invisible formation. The empty place in front of Liu Meizhen and the two people actually lit up a light curtain, and a gap appeared in the light curtain.
Liu Meizhen and the two passed through the light curtain.
What caught the eye was no longer the mountain peak before, but a village.
"Uncle Fei, wait here, I'll find someone to ask for directions first."
"good"
Ouyang Fei answered verbally, but he was muttering in his heart.
Think back to the beginning.
The first time he passed through the border town, he was novel and excited, but when he saw Liu Meizhen just now, she looked calmer than him.
After a while.
Liu Meizhen came out of a villager's house, met Ouyang Fei, and said quickly: "Uncle Fei, the Liu family in Taiyun County is in Taishan County. The place we are now in is Nishan County, and we have to cross the Liuli River to get there. arrival."
Arrive at Liuli River.
Ouyang Fei's consciousness swept away.
It was discovered that the aura on Liu Meizhen's body had converged to the late stage of Qi refining, and even the blue-eyed giant python was put into the spirit beast bag, and the two crossed the river on a bamboo raft.
In the middle of the river.
Ouyang Fei hesitated and said:
"Mei Zhen, have you thought about how to get the Liu family to follow us to the fiefdom?"
"There's no rush. I'll first pay a visit as the daughter of the Liu family in Anyang County and find out the details of the Liu family. Just in case, I'll bother you, Uncle Fei, to help you outside later."
"Okay, if there is anything wrong, call me immediately."
Ashore from Liuli River.
Liuli Mountain not far from the river is the gate of Liujia Mountain in Taiyun County.
Ouyang Fei used the invisibility technique and escaped to the Taolin not far away to hide.
Arrived in front of the mountain gate.
When the Liu family monk saw Liu Meizhen coming, he immediately warned:
"Who?"
Liuli Mountain.
In the meeting hall.
Liu Mingyun, who was dressed in gray robe, sat upright.
There were old men with gray beards on both sides. He was the youngest among the dozen or so people in the room. However, perhaps because he had practiced talisman formations since he was a child, he was only over fifty and already had a head full of white hair.
Elder Liu, who was at the bottom on the left, nodded the crutch in his hand with a sad look on his face:
"Patriarch, there are rumors that the Yang family went to Huainan Mansion in Jingzhou with the Jiupin Tang family some time ago. I heard that the Yang family successfully bid for a foundation-building pill. After the Yang family returned from Jingzhou, there was no more If the rumors are true and the other party really succeeds in establishing the foundation, then the annihilation of our Liu family is probably just around the corner!"
The Liu family and the Yang family have been fighting for hundreds of years.
It has long been an unbreakable enemy.
Once the Yang family has a foundation builder, there will be no chance of their Liu family escaping by chance.
Elder Liu Er on the right is a few years younger than the elder, but due to injuries he received when he was young, he is already a broken candle in the wind. He bit his silver teeth and said:
"Master, there are only two ways before us. One is to seize the opportunity to unite with the other three aristocratic families and attack the Yang family while Chief Yang has not yet established the foundation.
The second is to wait and see what happens, taking a gamble that Patriarch Yang will not succeed in building the foundation.
But no matter which plan it is, we have to move our family members out of Taiyun County first, as far as possible from the Yang family. "
Liu Mingyun smiled bitterly:
"Second uncle, our Liu family has been talisman masters for generations. It's okay for us to draw talisman to set up the formation, but as a vanguard force to storm the Yang family's mountain gate, it is undoubtedly a fantasy, and the other three families in Taiyun County are not stupid. This will Even if I are related by marriage, I will definitely not rashly agree to our attack on the Yang family."
There was only one way to go before them.
That is to evacuate Taiyun County:
"Elders, in order for the Liu family to continue its inheritance, we must prepare to move as soon as possible." The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became gloomy.
five years ago.
Liu Mingyun also received a Foundation Building Pill.
However, the foundation building failed.
At that time, the Liu family had emptied all their wealth before they could exchange it for such a foundation-building pill. Now the foreign debt has not been paid off. It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to try to break through the foundation-building pill before the Yang family.
Everyone was silent.
Elder Liu tapped his cane and recalled:
"Master, if I remember correctly, when I was still young, your great-great-grandfather once mentioned in the lecture hall that he had visited Chuanjingzhou when he was young. At that time, I followed him curiously and asked him if he When I returned home, I told my parents about the customs and customs of Jingzhou. When I fell asleep at night, I learned from my parents' chat that it seemed that your great-great-grandfather once had a sweetheart in Jingzhou."
"Your great-great-grandfather also agreed to go to Jingzhou to marry the girl after the spring hunt, but unfortunately he died during the spring hunt."
"if."
"If your great-great-grandfather's sweetheart had given birth to a boy and a half girl, maybe, maybe we could move to Jingzhou."
The words have not yet finished.
He was rejected by the second elder opposite:
"Brother, I think you are really old and confused. Even if the head of the family, Gaozu, really left a seed in Jingzhou, it is not certain whether the child will grow up smoothly. Even if he is lucky enough to grow up and start a family, it is just a matter of time. As a secular mortal, what place can we stay if we go there?"
Everyone nodded one after another.
Liu Mingyun also looked disapproving:
"Jingzhou is bordered by the Shiwan Mountains, and the beast tide is coming soon. At this time, we are going to Jingzhou. With the recruitment order, we will be the first batch to rush to the front line. We can't go to Jingzhou anywhere. And Jingzhou's spiritual energy It's very lacking, much worse than ours in Jingzhou, and it's extremely difficult to get back there."
The great elder also harbored a trace of fantasy.
So there is not much persistence.
Everyone discussed for a while.
After a while.
But a guard hurriedly sounded the warning bell.
Liu Mingyun's face turned pale:
"Did Patriarch Yang really break through the foundation building?"
Immediately, a spell hit the magic circle, the light curtain rose, and the guard ran in panting, cupping his hands and saying:
"Reporting to the family master, a woman came down the mountain, claiming to be the descendant of the family master's great ancestor in Jingzhou. She also sent a greeting card."
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone present looked at the great elder.
The Great Elder was also stunned for a moment. He just opened his mouth and said that, but he really got it right and said quickly:
"What kind of cultivation is that woman?"
If you are a mortal.
It is certainly impossible to travel all the way from Jingzhou to Jingzhou.
Even if you have Qi refining skills, if you don't follow the caravan or form a team with others, it will be difficult to reach this place safely by relying on your own strength alone.
If not.
Qi refining monks will not always stay in their own state and never move.
The guard was still panting at this time:
"Reporting to the great elder, that female monk is in the late stage of Qi refining."
Late stage of Qi refining? !
Liu Mingyun frowned:
"You didn't let anyone in?"
"No subordinates dare to do so without the master's order."
"Um"
Liu Mingyun nodded slightly.
Seeing his reaction, the eyes of the second elder on the other side lit up:
"Master, do you suspect that this is a trick from the Yang family?"
"I can't say, but it's always better to be careful."
Liu Mingyun took the greeting card handed over by the guard, but saw that it said Liu Family, Anyang County, Huainan Prefecture. The elder came forward to take a look, and his pupils shrank:
"Master, Anyang County is exactly the place your great ancestor mentioned. How about we go down the mountain to have a look?"
If the seeds left by Emperor Gaozu really developed into a small family there, it would be something that should be considered.
Liu Mingyun had no objection, but still said to the Sixth Elder:
"Uncle Six, could you please go to the ancestral hall and bring our family's blood tester down the mountain."
Even with an identity token.
Who knows if this is foreign aid invited by the Yang family.
Liu Mingyun still thinks it's better to be cautious.
The group of people fell to the foot of the mountain in a mighty manner, and saw Liu Meizhen who had been waiting for a long time. The elder glanced at Liu Meizhen, then looked back at Liu Mingyun, and muttered:
"They don't look alike."
So many generations apart.
It's normal if it doesn't look like it.
Liu Mingyun stepped forward and saluted across the light screen of the magic circle, but did not ask any questions. After the Sixth Elder took the blood tester and came down the mountain, he saluted again and said:
"Can you please put a drop of blood in this blood analyzer?"
Liu Meizhen glanced with her consciousness and saw that it was a common blood test instrument, but she waved her sword finger neatly and made a clicking sound.
A drop of blood fell on the blood analyzer.
Buzz!
The blood analyzer lit up with a bright red light, and the blood in the blood analyzer lit up a rune inside.
See this scene.
The great elder laughed and said first:
"It is true that we are the blood of the Liu family. Head of the family, open the formation quickly!"
Everyone can't wait.
perhaps.
The arrival of Liu Meizhen can really be their life-saving straw.
Welcoming the people into the mountain, everyone sat down.
The great elder said impatiently:
"Eldest niece, besides you, how many monks are there in the Liu family of Anyang County?"
The great ancestor of the Liu family probably didn't have time to leave any inheritance at that time, so even if his descendants embarked on the path of cultivation, without the foundation and support of the family elders, they could only live a precarious life of casual cultivation.
Liu Meizhen had already made up her mind on the way here.
Therefore, not much is revealed:
"Great Elder, our lineage is considered one of the three major Qi refining families in Anyang County."
hiss!
Those present took a deep breath.
The Liu family in Anyang County has developed into three major Qi refining families, which is really unexpected.
The people present looked at each other. Although Liu Mingyun, who was in charge, was a little moved, he was still very calm:
"Sister, are you coming all the way to Taiyun County to recognize your relatives? But what difficulties have the clan encountered?"
Hit the nail on the head.
Liu Meizhen's half-truth and half-falsehood:
"Brother, to be honest, when I came here, I really wanted the sect to support a group of talisman masters to go to Huainan Mansion. You also know that the beast tide is coming. In order to survive the beast tide, we are currently All we can do is strengthen the clan's defense."
Mention the beast tide.
The hearts of everyone present suddenly became cold.
yes.
After going to Huainan Mansion, I am afraid that Ta Men will not escape death.
Liu Mingyun did not hide it:
"Sister, if you had come a few years earlier, we descendants of the Liu family would naturally have agreed without hesitation, but now our lineage cannot protect itself!"
Said.
He also talked about his grievances with the Yang family.
Finally, he said dejectedly:
"Although our ancestor died in spring hunting and could not go to take you back to the clan, we have not gone to Anyang County in these years. After all, we owe you a family, but now in our situation, it can be said that It's the Clay Bodhisattva who is crossing the river. He can't protect himself. Sister, I'm really sorry for making your trip go in vain."
"How can this trip be in vain!"
The great elder nodded the crutch in his hand.
Humming humming said:
"Eldest niece, you will come with me to the Sutra Pavilion later. I will take a copy of all the martial arts books in the clan and the complete inheritance of the Talisman Master."
"also"
"If you, the head of the family, want to migrate with your clan members, the large number of people will definitely attract the attention of the Yang family. We old men will not go with you to join in the fun. Instead, we can go to Jingzhou with this niece. First, while we are still able to move, we can really do something for this branch of Anyang County. Second, our going to Jingzhou can also divert the attention of the Yang family. No matter how capable they are, they dare not rush to Jingzhou to kill people."
The elders present were all elderly.
Hearing this.
They all reconsidered:
"I will listen to my eldest brother"
"Yes, if you can make more contributions to the Liu family before you die, that would be good."
"Yes, yes, let's do it this way."
"."
Seeing this, Liu Mingyun thought about it again and again, and did not object.
But he still looked at Liu Meizhen, who had been silent all the time:
"Sister, if you mind being targeted by the Yang family, you can take a copy of the secret manual of the Sutra Pavilion and leave later."
