Chapter 140： Shrimp

After Ge Daoyuan and his party left, Nan Huishou arranged the task. They each led five disciples in the Qi refining stage to patrol the area near the east of the formation.

Zhang Shiping led five people, three men, two women, and five Qi-refining disciples, all of whom were not young. The oldest male disciple, who had cultivated to the eighth level of Qi training, was forty years older than Zhang Shiping, and his face was already mature. He is old and has not reached the ninth level of Qi refining at this age. He belongs to the kind of people who have no great opportunity and are almost impossible to build a foundation. Zhang Shiping wonders if this rather old Qi refining disciple And with the determination to establish a foundation, he didn't ask, and he wouldn't ask about these things.

The remaining two men and two women are relatively young, about the same age as Zhang Shiping, but their cultivation bases are too different. The four of them are all in the fifth and sixth levels of Qi refining. Judging from the relationship between them, they are quite close.

When Zhang Shiping led them to patrol nearby, he smiled and chatted with them. As his subordinate monks, he couldn't be ignorant of them. Such an approach was somewhat irresponsible. His tone was not too cold. The five qi refining disciples were a bit subservient at the beginning, but later on Zhang Shiping didn't have too much airs, and he wasn't that kind of weird-tempered Master Zhuji. The five of them gradually let go. , under the premise of maintaining respect, the five of them also talked more.

Two hours later, Zhang Shiping led five people to land under an old pine tree on the top of a mountain, and sat down for a while to rest. The mere two-hour flight was not the kind of all-out escape. , and slowly recovered, when they stopped, he only consumed a little mana.

But the five qi refining disciples behind him are not in a good condition, and their own cultivation base is too low. Even though Zhang Shiping feels that he is flying very slowly, this is not the case for the five of them. Already gasping for breath. But it's okay, at least not to the point where it can't fly, it's enough for patrolling.

In fact, Zhengyangzong assigned the patrol team in this way to reduce the pressure on the foundation-building monks. The correct way is to separate these Qi-refining monks, and each of them is responsible for patrolling a small part, while Zhang Shiping, a foundation-building monk, is in charge. Among them, just in case. Zhang Shiping had already thought of this from the very beginning, but he led these five people, one is to get acquainted, and the other is to scan the places they are responsible for with his spiritual sense, so as not to There are some monks who don't have long eyes or have evil intentions in ambush.

Fifteen days later, Zhang Shiping was standing on the crown of an ancient tree. He watched a blue light flying towards him in the distance. In his hand, when the brilliance dissipated, it turned out to be a small three-inch long sword with a green jade slip inlaid on the body of the sword. Zhang Shiping moved his consciousness and performed the imperial object technique, and the jade slip flew from the concave part of the sword body. up, and fell into his hands.

This is the messenger flying sword sent by the sect to every patrolling disciple, and it is mainly used to report some more urgent situations. This kind of flying sword is different from ordinary magical weapons, it doesn't have much power, but within a hundred miles, it can carry jade slips and fly to another flying sword, and the flying speed is about the same as that of a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment.

After Zhang Shiping read the information, he took out the ancient Qingling boat. Without any hesitation, the ancient Qingling boat transformed into a zhang-long flying boat in an instant. He lightly stepped on the branches and leaves of the tree crown, and the green leaves moved slightly. The man had already stepped on the flying boat, and under his control, he flew towards the original direction of the messenger flying sword in a blink of an eye.

In a valley, two outer disciples wearing black clothes of Zhengyangzong, a man and a woman, stood together nervously, wearing a khaki shield, and in front of them were two similar-looking pointing at the two people on the opposite side, and confronting the two people in front of them, as long as the other party has the idea of ​​running away, their magic weapon will have a posture that is about to move, but there is no real Going up, the other party also has scruples.

The four of them were only two or three zhang away, and within such a short distance, Feijian could reach them in a blink of an eye. The scene became stalemate, and the lips of all four were a little dry.

Those two people were dressed very casually, not the clothes of sect disciples and family monks. The mana fluctuations of the other two people were obviously at the sixth level of Qi Refining, which was a level higher than the two disciples of Zhengyangzong, but they besieged After a long time, the opponent was not taken down. And the two Zhengyangzong disciples who had waited for the opportunity took the opportunity to send out a message flying sword, and if they found an abnormality, they should report it to Master Zhuji. Uncle Master came here, wouldn't it be that I was stupid!

"Second brother, you can't stay here anymore." The round-faced monk said to another man with an ugly face.

Two casual cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining saw the flying swords issued by the two disciples of Zhengyang Sect, which turned into a blue light and disappeared into the sky. No matter how stupid these two people were, they knew that something was wrong at this time. People think about ways to get out.

The ugly-faced man standing beside him stared at the two Zhengyang Sect disciples, feeling pain in his heart. They thought they could catch these two Zhengyang Sect outer disciples quickly by surprise. But the other party was not the kind of careless person, and the situation gradually turned into a stalemate, and no one could do anything about it.

In the past, if this was the case, if the two sides had a clear understanding of the situation, they would basically not continue to fight But the other two sect disciples, looking at the posture, wanted to keep the two of them.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, this ugly man saw a blue rainbow suddenly appearing in the sky, which was not far away. His face changed drastically, and the round-faced monk also noticed this situation. He sacrificed his magic weapon, turned into two auras of red and cyan, and flew towards the two disciples of the Zhengyang Sect. Regardless of recalling the magic weapon, the two left without looking back. Go in different directions.

The two outer disciples of the Zhengyang Sect used the flying sword to catch the full-strength attack on the magic weapon, and then heard a whistling sound in their ears, and a blue rainbow flew past the two of them.

After a while, Zhang Shiping drove the Qingling ancient boat back to the two disciples. There were two people lying on the flying boat. They were the two casual cultivators who escaped just now. Both of them were unconscious and unconscious. Also tied with thorny vines.

"Come up, tell me about the situation in detail." Zhang Shiping hovered in front of them with the flying boat, and the two disciples immediately jumped onto the flying boat, seeing the two casual cultivators who were confronting him just now, they had no strength to fight back , Surprise flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at Zhang Shiping, he unconsciously showed awe.

They told the situation to Zhang Shiping honestly. After Zhang Shiping listened to it, he thought about it and looked at the two unconscious people on the flying boat. It seemed that they were just two casual cultivators who were greedy for money and killed themselves. , but the specific situation still has to be taken back and handed over to the disciples of the Zongmen Xingdian for torture. They are extremely professional in this regard. If these two people are spies from Wanjianmen or other sects, then Zhang Shiping can also get a merit point for nothing.
