Family Cultivation: I have a skill panel

Chapter 159 The Beast Tide Strikes
Tian Yushan.

Meng Danning was flipping through the family accounts for the last month.

The beast bites the green smoke from the copper incense burner.

A maid dressed in peach clothes was full of body and handed over a cup of tea.

Meng Danning was as careful as a hair, and immediately discovered several inadequacies in the accounts.

She frowned, and asked the maid who was waiting to serve to summon a clansman who was in charge of keeping accounts.

A moment later, a maid's announcement came from outside the door.

"Mistress, Mr. Danqing is here"

Meng Danqing does not paint, but is the family steward in charge of bookkeeping, and is of the same generation as Meng Danning.

Although he is of the same generation, Meng Danqing salutes from afar

"Sister Seventeen, you called me, but there is a problem with the account."

Meng Danqing had just the right look of questioning on his face.

Today is the day when my seventeenth sister, who is half of the family, checks the accounts routinely. If there is a call today, there must be some problems with the accounts.

However, he was not in a hurry, because he had gone through all the accounts, and he had counted any problems.

Meng Danning didn't care too much.

Get up and greet Meng Danqing

"Sixth brother, you are busy with business, and I trouble you to come here. I am really sorry, but I just checked the accounts, and I do have a few questions. I still need to ask the sixth brother for advice."

"Seventeen sisters, but it's okay to say"

Meng Danning said bluntly

"Last month, the family's spiritual rice was mature and harvested. According to the accounts, 460 Lingshi sold [-] catties of Lingmi. There is a gap of about [-] Lingshi less than before. I wonder if Sixth Brother will pay attention."

Meng Danqing said with a smile

"Naturally, however, the price of Lingmi has fluctuated a lot. There were endless wars before, so the price of Lingmi has risen a bit. Hasn't it all stopped recently? It's normal for the price of Lingmi to drop a little. The person in charge of selling Lingmi Danye told me"

Meng Danning nodded, and continued:
"I also know about this, but our corn leaf rice has always been sold to Cuigu Grain Company, why did it suddenly sell to Hefu Commercial Company this time, and"

Meng Danning said this and paused

"The last few lines of this month's account show that [-] spirit stones were spent, and I bought [-] bottles of qi-nourishing pills and [-] bottles of marrow-washing pills from Hefu Trading Company, which is nearly [-] more spirit stones than I bought in the past. , in the past, the family's elixir was purchased from Miao Dan Trading Company.

Not only that, but also our unique spirit fish in Yuye Lake, the jade crucian carp, was also sold to this Hefu firm

I have never heard of this Hefu Trading Company, it is not well-known, why did it suddenly become the purchasing firm in the clan last month?"

There is no other source of spirit stones in Tianyu Mountain, but relying on mountains to eat mountains, and water to eat water, the ancestors of the Meng family established their clan here, relying on the good water quality of Yuye Lake, and it is wood-type spirit water, it took hundreds of years, Jade leaf rice and a kind of jadeite crucian carp were bred.

In the end, it became the treasure of the Meng family's survival.

Jade leaf rice is full of aura, and jade crucian carp has a great taste. Eating a lot of it can improve the monk's physique like the pill of washing marrow. Both are deeply loved by monks.

Relying on these two things every year, the whole family can be fed and a lot of income can be added.

Meng Danqing sighed and said,

"Sister Seventeen, it's not that Brother Six I want to hide this from you, it's just that Brother Nineteen greeted this Hefu Commercial Firm, so..."

Meng Danning frowned upon hearing this
The nineteenth brother he was talking about was Meng Danhe, Meng Danning's cousin of the same family. When Meng Danning returned to Tianyu Mountain from the Zhao family to take care of his seriously ill father, Meng Danhe helped him with many things.

The two families move around diligently, and their relationship is much closer than that of other clansmen.

Later, Meng Danning relied on Meng Hanqing's mother and daughter's nobility, and Meng Danhe naturally soared into the sky, his status in the clan rose all the way, and finally he even got a fat post in charge of procurement.

Meng Danhe is quick-witted and careful, so he is quite suitable for this job.

However, he has a problem, that is, he has been afraid of being poor since he was a child, and he attaches great importance to Lingshi. To put it simply, he is greedy for money. He was originally an ordinary clan member who received a family salary. It can also be said to be able to keep the house.

However, since he became a procurement manager, he has been managing the entry and exit of thousands of spirit stones every month, so it is inevitable to be manual.

To purchase this job, as long as you put your mind to it a little, there will be a lot of lucrative water to be harvested. A little deduction here and a little deduction there will be a lot of spiritual stones.

Meng Danhe was relatively cautious at the beginning, but as his son's cultivation speed became slower and slower, and there were more and more places to buy various elixirs, he became more and more courageous.

Meng Danning didn't know about this matter, but after she found out about it a few times, she taught her face to face.

Every time Meng Danhe felt ashamed and would kowtow to admit his mistake, saying that he would not dare next time.

Looking at the past kindness, Meng Danning didn't think much of it.

After saying it a few times, Meng Danhe has settled down a lot in recent years, and it may be that many things are done in a more secretive way.

In short, Meng Danning just turned a blind eye.

However, this time the incident was quite extraordinary, and it was actually a privately solicited purchasing firm.

No need to think about it, Meng Danning also knew that there must be Meng Danhe's shadow behind this purchasing firm, either he took the firm's spirit stones, or Meng Danhe simply got involved in this firm.

Yangqi Pill and Xisui Pill are two kinds of elixirs that the tribe receives every month, which can speed up their cultivation speed and strengthen their physique. If the quality of these two elixirs is not good, it will affect the foundation of the entire Meng family.

"Sixth brother, how effective is the pill bought last month?"

Meng Danning couldn't help but speak with some emotion.

"These elixirs are given to the younger generation in the clan. As for the effect, I'm not very clear, but Han Ye told me last month, it seems that this elixir seems to be worse than before. "

Meng Danqing was a little uncertain about what he said, but only he knew what was going on in his heart.

In fact, Meng Danqing couldn't stand the behavior of his nineteenth brother for a long time, but he never seized the opportunity to reveal it. Seeing that Meng Danning found out by himself at this time, he was so happy, and stood aside, telling the truth.

Meng Danning's complexion immediately turned dark after hearing this.

No matter how good-tempered she was usually, she was secretly angry now.

I also remembered that when Meng Danhe was living on a salary of a few spirit stones a month, he even gave the young Meng Hanqing a bottle of marrow washing pill, and Meng Danning's mood eased a little. However, if it is really He made such a big mistake because of lack of support, Meng Danning would not be lenient when it should be dealt with impartially.

"Hey, it's all my own indulgence"

Meng Danning secretly sighed in his heart, and was silent for a long time. After talking to Meng Danqing casually, Meng Danqing took his leave and left.

As soon as he left, Meng Danning ordered the maid to go to the storeroom to fetch a few bottles of pills and came back. After searching for the pills for a long time, his face sank a bit, and he finally made a decision.

However, just as he was about to ask Meng Danhe to interrogate her, a golden light of interrogation fell in front of her.

She crushed it, and it turned out that it was Meng Hanqing who sent her a message, and her expression changed drastically upon closer inspection.

"Monster wave!"

Meng Danning was a Qi-refining cultivator herself, so why hadn't she heard of the wave of monsters? Suddenly, she remembered all the horrible rumors she had heard, and her face was filled with panic.

An hour later.

When Meng Hanqing and Zhao Xiuxuan both landed on Tianyu Mountain.

The wave of monsters has approached within a hundred miles, and the monsters like a tide have already rushed out of the Yunmeng Mountains, causing harm to the gentle farmland outside the mountains.

The nearest small families and small villages are already screaming and blood splattering, looking like hell.

In these villages, there are mortals and monks, but they can't stop the scourge of monsters.

Meng Danning's side at the moment.

Since receiving Meng Hanqing's summons, she hastened to report the news to the head of the Meng family who had been in seclusion.

Meng Zhengde, a member of the Meng family, was scared out of his wits, and hurriedly summoned the whole family to clarify the seriousness of the matter. As Meng Hanqing had already said in the message, the tide of monsters and beasts was fierce. There is no time to escape the monster beast tide, so she suggested that the clansmen find a safe place to hide first.

Meng Zhengde's cultivation base is not good, he is just a monk at the ninth level of Qi refining, and he usually spends a few days in seclusion, leaving all the big and small matters in the family to Meng Danning.

Facing the coming wave of monsters, Liushen Wuzhu had no idea at all, but ordered everything to be arranged by Meng Danning, and then fled back to the cave to continue to retreat. Much stronger and more secure.

Meng Danning was busy up and down, and thousands of clansmen entered the secret passage in an orderly manner under her instructions.

Seeing Meng Hanqing's imperial weapon fall from the light, Meng Danning felt relieved

"Qing'er."

She called out a word, and suddenly saw Zhao Xiuxuan who fell down afterwards, and was stunned for a moment.

He naturally knew Zhao Xiuxuan. Although she couldn't be present when the Foundation Establishment cultivator was summoned in the dojo, she asked Meng Hanqing to print Zhao Xiuxuan's portrait afterwards, which was of course the appearance after disguise.

She had been taking out the portrait to look at it for a while, and although she didn't think it looked like it at all, she only thought it had grown open.

This was the first time I saw a real person, and even the imminent crisis of the monster wave was completely forgotten.

On the other hand, Zhao Xiuxuan's expression was calm.

He didn't take Meng Danning seriously in his heart either.

Meng Hanqing hurriedly pulled his mother over for a good chat, during which time, Meng Danning's eyes never left Zhao Xiuxuan.

Meng Hanqing didn't use the method of isolating the sound. Although Zhao Xiuxuan, a foundational monk, didn't do it deliberately, the words of their mother and daughter passed into Zhao Xiuxuan's ears verbatim.

It was nothing more than Meng Hanqing describing his attitude towards this matter.

In the Yunmeng Mountain Range, Zhao Xiuxuan stated more than once that he had nothing to do with their mother and daughter. From Meng Hanqing's perspective, at first he really thought that Zhao Xiuxuan was resentful towards his mother for abandoning him, but later she really understood. Zhao Xiuxuan really didn't care.

It is this kind of indifference that makes people feel close and distant.

For Meng Danning, the guilt in his heart was even more violent, but he had to suppress his feelings.

Just when she didn't know how to talk to Zhao Xiuxuan.

Fortunately, at this time, the noise of the fastest flying monsters came from far away in the sky.

Meng Hanqing hurriedly said

"Mother, hurry up and hide in the secret path, and I will defend it with fellow Daoist Zhao."

Meng Danning nodded in a daze, and with the help of the maid, walked into the secret passage in three steps.

Zhao Xiuxuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Zhao Xiuxuan never thought of Meng Danning as a relative. Although he was a blood relative, to him, he was no different from a stranger.

The only one who made him feel like a relative in this world was the dead Zhao Lingting.

Although Zhao Lingting didn't take much care of him, Zhao Lingting regarded him as a junior from the bottom of his heart for so many years, and the sense of mission of handing over the whole family to him already gave him a sense of belonging.

This is also the reason why he would not give up the Zhao family and leave alone unless he had to.

As for Meng Danning, to put it bluntly, it was just her wishful thinking.

"Fairy Meng, you and I have agreed. I will defend the Meng family for three days. At that time, no matter whether the golden core cultivators from Qingxuan Valley come or not, my mission will be considered complete. The Fangshi Order you promised."

"Of course I will ask the master"

Meng Hanqing's views on Zhao Xiuxuan are a bit complicated now. First, Meng Danning's reason is that he sincerely wants to treat him as an elder brother so that he can pay off some debts for his mother. Second, Zhao Xiuxuan's indifference from the bottom of his heart made her feel a little bit annoyed.

So the attitude is also a bit far and near.

Zhao Xiuxuan didn't care, since as long as he resisted for three days, he could hope to get the Fangshi Order, it was worth his time. Even if something happened to Xiang Qiulu, Meng Hanqing also promised to tell the sect what Xiang Qiulu had done before as a disciple. promise.

Zhao Xiuxuan had no reason not to agree.

Of course, before that, he had already used the pigeon to send a message back to the mountain gate, informing some monks of the Demon Kingdom and the beast tide, so that they could prepare in advance. The big ship left by water.

As for Chihuofang, when life and death are at stake, it can only be abandoned.

"Wow-wow-"

Just when the two of them recovered their mana, monsters in the sky were already rushing towards Tianyu Mountain. The most monsters coming in this direction were stone lizards, copper snakes, wind blade tigers, and green wood spirit bulls. And other common monsters, and there are also purple electric falcons, ghost-faced eagles, and four-winged crows in the sky.

After the mighty wave of monsters ravaged some lands, their power remained undiminished when they reached Tianyu Mountain.

Fortunately, Yuye Island, where Tianyu Mountain is located, has one advantage, that is, it is surrounded by lakes.

Ordinary land monsters would only avoid this place, and only those flying monsters would attack. In this way, two-thirds of the attacks were reduced.

In fact, Meng Hanqing alone is enough to resist.

The premise is that those who come with the tide of beasts are only first-order monsters.

"coming"

Meng Hanqing reminded that Zhao Xiuxuan had already noticed that although only one-third of the beasts were attacking by flying monsters, due to the monsters' sensitivity to the land of aura, all the flying monsters passing by here came towards Tianyu Mountain in unison. .

"Duh, duh, duh, duh"

The sound of dense impacts on the mountain protection formation entered the eyes of the two of them. Tianyu Mountain's mountain protection formation was only a first-order formation. Facing such a dense attack, it collapsed and dug in less than a moment.

All kinds of monsters wreaked havoc towards Tianyu Mountain.
