From Xiaoao to travel around the world

Chapter 227
Yang Qing released Nie Xiaoqian and asked her to collect bamboo poles to build a house farther away, and at the same time sweep away the incomplete rubble on the old site of Yuncang Temple.

When Nie Xiaoqian showed up, she took the old woman in black who had been subdued before, and ordered her to bring back a large pile of green bamboos and put them in the open space, then turned around and ran towards Yuncang Kingdom.

Since absorbing the underground yin energy in Quyi City, she no longer relies on the long sword so much, and even when she comes out during the day, she is no longer as weak as before.

As for how she subdued the old woman in black to become a ghost soldier, Yang Qing didn't bother to ask.

After clearing his face, he walked around the hill and collected two vines.

Go back to the open space and use green bamboo to simply build a three-story bamboo building frame, then plant vines into the gaps in the frame, and use wooden amulets to stimulate their growth.

Pinch Yuqingyin to infuse the spiritual energy of the wood line, and with the help of the wood line talisman, the two vines immediately grew visible to the naked eye, and followed his thoughts to intersperse and climb among the green bamboos.

It didn't take long to tie up the frame that had just been built.

Then he continued to use green bamboo to lay the ground in the building neatly, and made tables, chairs, beds, doors and windows.

Two simple wing rooms are built on both sides in front of the small building, with fences around them, and the exquisite residence is initially completed.

He purposely surrounded the old locust tree in the courtyard with a dry well that had been filled in. The hills surrounded by jungles and mountains seemed a bit dusty.

After tidying up, Yang Qing looked up at the sky full of stars in the courtyard.

Perhaps it is due to the lush forests here, or it may be related to the name of the holy place of the monster race.

Although it can't catch up with Taixu Mountain, it is faint enough to be visible to the naked eye.

Sometimes when a gust of evening wind blows, he doesn't need to deliberately move it, but he can still see wisps of green light floating in the air.

As the breeze passed by, the thirty-foot-high locust tree in the corner of the courtyard, which was as thick as a giant pillar of rocks, rattled.

Yang Qing's eyes moved to its canopy, which was like a huge canopy. When his spiritual thoughts swept over, he saw dozens of birds like magpies, thrushes, and turtledoves nesting on it.

I went up to touch a wall-like tree trunk, the tentacles were tough, and the surface of the bark was covered with signs of time.

It was the first time he had seen such a big locust tree. If he hadn't found anything abnormal after scanning for two weeks with his divine sense, he would have thought that the tree had become a spirit.

Flying to the top of the canopy, Yang Qing saw similar towering trees in the southern dense forest, and found that there were faint monsters in the forest.

Thinking of where he was at this time, it was no longer surprising.

Turning the head and looking in the direction of Yuncang Kingdom in the east, the peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains can also be seen faintly here.

Immediately turning his gaze, he saw Nie Xiaoqian flying towards Yukong with ghost soldiers carrying several large packages under the moonlit night.

She saw Yang Qing standing on the top of the tree from a distance, so she also flew closer and stopped, panting heavily, patted her chest and said: "My lord, I bought a lot of things in the town, and I also heard good news. "

"Can ghosts get tired too?" Yang Qing replied with a smile, "What news."

"Habits during my lifetime." Nie Xiaoqian put down her hands and said solemnly: "Someone is selling essence!"

Yang Qing looked at her for a long time before speaking: "How do you know that I need spirit?"

"I'm just low-level, and I'm not blind. Ghosts are most sensitive to such things. I saw them in the sea of ​​clouds in Lingxian Pavilion that day."

Nie Xiaoqian muttered, "It was the same in Quyi City a few days ago..."

"It stands to reason that Yuncang Kingdom should be very disgusted with such things..." Yang Qing guessed, and then asked: "Tell me, what's going on."

"I was shopping in the town just now, and I heard that someone is willing to use a soul essence to find someone to heal a disease, and it is a water element essence."

"What's so strange about the water essence."

Nie Xiaoqian said anxiously: "My lord, if you sacrifice this sword with water talismans and turn it into a spiritual weapon, my cultivation level will also rise accordingly. When I gather thousands of ghosts and meet a guy like Wu Ming again, I won't need you to do anything, I will help you." Settled."

"You settle it?" Yang Qing laughed when he heard the words: "I haven't had time to ask, how many ghost soldiers can you accept now?"

Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head and said, "No more than fifty, and they are still very weak."

"Let's talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow. Let's rest early after running around for a few days."

Yang Qing also saw the talisman used to sacrifice the magic weapon in the jade slips handed down from Qingyuan.

It's just that in addition to special talismans, if you want to sacrifice the magic weapon, you need to cooperate with the formation.

Qingyuan condensed dozens of talismans in the blink of an eye in the hall that day, and refined an ordinary ordinary sword into a magic weapon.

But as far as he knows, tens of thousands of talismans are needed to refine a magic weapon to a spiritual weapon, and millions of talismans are needed to refine a treasure weapon.

As for the artifact, he also asked Wang Mian. No one has seen that thing in the past thousand years, and the fairy artifact is even more legendary.

The talismans needed for these refining tools are different from those used in ordinary times, because the size of the utensils is limited, so the size requirements are very strict, and the further they are refined, the more difficult they are.

Now his first priority is to gather the essence, and then condense the evil spirits. For the time being, such time-consuming and labor-intensive things as refining weapons have no time to consider.

"Who's going to sleep at night?" Seeing that Yang Qing didn't reply positively, Nie Xiaoqian turned her head and muttered.

But when she turned her head and saw the small courtyard below, she became happy again: "Is this our new home? It feels no worse than Taixu Mountain."

After finishing speaking, she flew to the courtyard with the ghost soldiers, arranged the many household items she bought, and then went up to the top of the tree and nodded: "I like this old locust tree the most. If we dig the well in the courtyard again, It’s almost the same as when I was alive.”

Yang Qing asked curiously: "I never asked, where did you come from before you were alive, and how did you become a ghost?"

"I can't remember..." Nie Xiaoqian said distressedly: "I only know that I lived in the mountains before my death, and there was a well in the courtyard at home, but I don't have any memory of it later."

"It's okay if you can't remember." Nodding Yang Qing continued, "Did no one notice that you are a foreigner when you go to the town?"

"I noticed, but no one here is afraid of me, and kindly told me some taboos."

"No wonder you are so happy." Yang Qing said as he walked towards the door on the third floor of the bamboo building: "You can ask about the Jingpo tomorrow. It is impossible that Yuncang Kingdom does not have doctors. I am afraid it is not as simple as curing diseases."

"Understood." Agreeing, Nie Xiaoqian saw that he was about to go back to the house, and suddenly said anxiously: "My lord, can you hang the sword on the tree.

The locust tree gathers shade, so it is good for me to be closer. "

Yang Qing didn't answer when he heard the words, he took off the long sword and threw it over, and went back to his room to rest.

The room that was empty just now, Nie Xiaoqian led the ghost soldiers to simply arrange it, and it looked a little bit better.

He hadn't slept for many days. Although he was in good health, he was unavoidably tired mentally.

Lying on the soft quilt at this moment, smelling the fragrance of plants and trees in the room, I fell asleep after a while.

In the middle of sleeping, there was a sudden movement in his spiritual thoughts, and he saw that the newly built room was actually full of people.

There were more than a dozen people sitting or standing in front of the bed, looking at me with crying or laughing expressions.

The table on one side of the room was also full of people, and their eyes were all looking at him.

The same is true for the second floor below, and even the first floor.

There are many ghosts in the courtyard, howling and crying.

Under the old locust tree, Nie Xiaoqian and the ghost soldiers were entangled with a dozen ghosts who wanted to drag her into the well.

"Son!"

Nie Xiaoqian was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of these ghosts and was a little overwhelmed.

Yang Qing has long been used to these ghosts and ghosts, seeing that there is nothing too tyrannical in them, he doesn't even bother to open his eyes.

He pinched the startling thunder mark with his fingers, and patches of purple thunder suddenly appeared over the entire hill at the thought.

The small thunder and lightning gathered densely in one place, covering the sky in a radius of fifty feet like clouds, and then poured down like a torrential rain!

When the ghosts with different shapes just now saw the sudden thunderstorm, they were all horrified, and rushed wildly towards the dry well in the courtyard.

For a while, ghosts cried all over the place.

However, the falling speed of the lightning was too fast, and just one lightning strike smashed more than a hundred ghosts into green smoke.

At the same time, several electric arcs twisted and flickered in the air like spirit snakes, went up and down the building and walked around twice, and wiped out the remaining ghosts.

Nie Xiaoqian was originally dragged by several ghosts, but suddenly saw a flash of lightning around her body, and the small courtyard was clean again in the next moment, leaving only the dense yin energy floating in the void of the courtyard.

With a trembling heart, she looked at Xiaolou again. The sense of satisfaction that she had had because of her progress was gone, so she quickly released four beads to absorb Qi, and then obediently hid back in the long sword and did not come out again...

After driving away all the ghosts, Yang Qing slept until noon the next day before going out refreshed.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw that the sky was full of clouds, which seemed to be a sign of rain.

Then I smelled the fragrance of sweet porridge mixed with vegetables, but saw that Nie Xiaoqian had already used the west wing as a kitchen and prepared a table of dishes.

Seeing him go out, Nie Xiaoqian said eagerly: "My lord, I just went to fetch water and came back. I can eat after washing up."

Compared with last night, there were more water tanks and wooden basins in the kitchen. Yang Qing knew that Nie Xiaoqian went to the town to buy again.

After washing up, she sat at the table and picked up a piece of lettuce. After chewing it a few times, she realized that her cooking skills were not bad.

After drinking the rice porridge, he handed the bowl to Nie Xiaoqian who looked at him with a guilty expression: "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Hey." The porridge was full, and Nie Xiaoqian obediently put the bowl in front of Yang Qing and flattered her, "It turns out that you know how to do tricks, my lord. I didn't know that before."

"I'll let you know everything. I'm afraid that when you become stronger, you'll even settle down with me."

Thinking of her bold words last night and the experience of being almost dragged down the well by ghosts, Nie Xiaoqian said bluntly: "I didn't pay attention, who knew that there were so many ghosts coming out suddenly. And the well was filled up, so I didn't go down to see it." .”

Hearing this, Yang Qing also felt strange.

He also went down that well yesterday, but the fifty feet straight into the ground was covered with mud.

"It's kind of weird."

"My lord, let's dig the well, so that I don't have to go far to fetch water."

Thinking about how long she would stay here in the future, Yang Qing nodded and took her to the well in the courtyard after dinner.

This well looks quite old, the masonry at the wellhead has been corroded and weathered, and the overflowing soil grows weeds.

His thoughts fell, and then he used sword energy to cut and soften the soil in the well, and then took it out of the well.

Seeing this, Nie Xiaoqian also released ghost soldiers to help, and it didn't take long to clear the tens of feet of passage leading to the bottom.

At this time, the underground soil became more moist, like mud.

When Yang Qing went down to the bottom of the well and touched it, he felt that the mud mixed with groundwater was extremely cold.

It's clearly not to the extent of freezing, but it gives people a bone-piercing feeling.

With the continuous digging, the groundwater mixed with mud began to rise gradually, slowly overflowing to the wellhead.

But at this moment the depth of the well has reached hundreds of feet away, beyond the scope of his divine sense.

Nie Xiaoqian took the initiative to ask Ying to go down to dig the soil. Although Yang Qing's long sword can avoid water now, he is also happy to relax and let Nie Xiaoqian lead the ghost soldiers to work.

It was just after noon when he went up to the mouth of the well, and a misty drizzle began to fall from the sky.

It is still late summer, and the south is still warm.

The forest in the distance was drenched by drizzle, and after a while, mist rose, dancing gracefully and relaxing in the forest in the air.

Just as he was fascinated, he suddenly saw a flash of fire in the forest, and the ghost-eyed fire cloud beast rushed out of the forest like the wind, came to the fence gate in a moment, and opened its mouth to put down a wild boar.

It watched Yang Qing stick out his tongue and lick the blood on his lips, then snorted twice, then turned around and ran into the depths of the forest.

"My lord, there's a hole under here!"

Not long after watching the ghost-eyed fire cloud beast go far away, Nie Xiaoqian and the ghost soldiers each carried a load of mud to the mouth of the well.

"How deep?"

"About three hundred feet."

Three hundred feet is already a depth of 900 meters.

The hill at the foot is only about fifty feet.

"Didn't you go in and check?"

"It's dark inside..." Nie Xiaoqian hesitated, "I dare not..."

"..." Opening his mouth, Yang Qing shook his head and said, "Let me go down for a while."

He raised his hand to hold the long sword hanging on the branch of the locust tree, then bent down and dived into the muddy well water.

As soon as he entered the water, the long sword in his hand automatically produced a soft force, pushing the water beside him away.

However, this strength is not strong, and it can only barely protect the whole body from being soaked.

And the more you go down, as the pressure increases, this force begins to diminish.

After all, it is just a magic weapon, and it is even more difficult to go deep into the rivers, lakes and seas.

Yang Qing dived extremely fast, and Nie Xiaoqian sank three hundred feet of water after following him.

Sweeping over with his spiritual sense, he saw a half-human-sized cave on the stone wall in the well. The traces of the cave entrance should be dug out by Nie Xiaoqian just now.

The hole opened obliquely to the inside, and the higher it went, the higher it went.

Yang Qing came out of the water within a short distance along the road, and his spiritual sense saw that the passage in front of him also became higher and wider, obviously someone had dug it before.

At this time Nie Xiaoqian was also standing at the entrance of the corridor with him, only feeling bursts of pure Yin Qi continuously blowing from the end.

She released the four beads to absorb them wantonly, but at the same time, she remembered the experience of last night, and she felt at ease when she got a little closer to Yang Qing.

Playing the fire talisman to illuminate the road ahead, Yang Qing looked forward with his spiritual sense, and saw that the end of the five-foot-long corridor was connected to an underground cave.

The space is not big, only about the size of four or five rooms, and there is no other way out.

There is a clear spring in the middle of the ground gurgling with the cold and cloudy air, but the water flow only forms a pond within three feet around it, without any overflow.

Seeing that there are still more than a dozen ghosts entrenched around the cave, Yang Qing walked forward while making tricks to break them up.

Nie Xiaoqian heard the faint thunder in front of her, her body trembled subconsciously, and then followed Yang Qing into the cave.

I saw a dark, translucent, glistening Ganoderma lucidum soaking in the spring water in the cold pool...
