Fairy Desire

"The Valley of Heaven? The treasure is indeed hidden in the Valley of Heaven." A gleam of light flashed in Meng Xiang's eyes, he raised his head, and looked at Qi Changzheng, Qi Mufeng, his father and son, and the housekeeper, Qi Rong, who were sitting opposite him, but his face was not the same. He didn't show the slightest strangeness, but asked curiously: "** Valley? Where is ** Valley?"

At this time, it has been six months since Meng Xiang came to Ironwood City.When he was in the underground cave that day, Meng Xiang's guess was correct. After dawn, the people from the City Lord's Mansion sent someone to look for him.

After Meng Xiang came out, he met Qi Rong who was dealing with him for the second time, and he showed him a notice.The protagonists of the announcement were him and the dead Li Yaoting, and the content was about his handling of the murder at the city gate.

The announcement listed Li Yaoting's evil deeds, saying that his death was deserved, and called Meng Xiang's actions as beheading rape and eradicating evil, and purging evil.At the end of the announcement, the city lord Qi Changzheng appointed Meng Xiang as guest minister of Ironwood City.

Ke Qing, in Qi Rong's explanation, is a very high position, only those who have made great contributions to Ironwood City can get it, and they have great power, and can participate in voting on various major issues in Ironwood City.

However, Meng Xiang was not confused by him. He knew very well that the so-called Keqing was just a fancy title, but he didn't care because it was not important to him. What he cared about was the information revealed by Qi Changzheng's move—that he He is ready to use him to do a very important thing, and this is what he cares about, and it can even be said that this is the ultimate goal of all his previous efforts.

Qi Changzheng deserves to be a character who can become the lord of a city!This is Meng Xiang's evaluation of him after spending several months with him.Although from various signs, he was eager to do something, but he still held his temper, at least when we got along with him, he couldn't tell from his expression at all.

Meng Xiang is also not in a hurry. Apart from dealing with some things that the guest should do, he often goes out hunting like an ordinary hunter, and then sells the prey he hunts to the trading firm controlled by the City Lord's Mansion at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price. In exchange for all kinds of things that are in short supply except silver, because he knows very well that in the world of cultivators, silver is of little value.

Of course, this is just his superficial action. Every time he returns to his residence, especially at night, he will enter the underground cave, release the Babel Vine, let it insert into the root of the iron tree, and then draw the iron tree to absorb it. and stored aura.

Fortunately, the Iron Tree in Ironwood City hadn't been born with consciousness yet, so it didn't have much reaction to the action of Tongtian Vine to extract the aura from its body, otherwise, both it and Meng Xiang would be attacked by it.

With sufficient supply of spiritual energy, Meng Xiang began to cultivate crazily, the most obvious of which was the improvement of "Great Formless Demon Art".

In fact, the slow speed of Meng Xiang's practice of "Great Formless Demon Art" before was certainly the reason for his lack of aura, but the most important thing was that he had not been able to complete the spiritual transformation and meet the requirements for practicing "Great Formless Demon Art", but now he not only With a sufficient supply of spiritual energy, and the initial transformation of the soul has been completed, it is strange that the cultivation speed is not fast.

Undoubtedly, the amount of spiritual energy drawn by the Celestial Vine is quite considerable, but fortunately, the iron tree in Ironwood City is quite huge, and the speed of transforming and storing spiritual energy is also quite fast, which can reach the balance of withdrawal, so it is not possible to get rid of it from the appearance of the iron tree for a while. See the problem.

In the blink of an eye, six months passed, and it was time for the spring season to bloom.Just when Meng Xiang sprinted to the last part of the first stage of "Great Wuxiang Demon Art" several times to no avail, Qi Changzheng found him and gave him a task to lead the guards of the City Lord's Mansion to follow Qi Mufeng to a place called ** In the valley, hunt and kill a monster called the earth-burrowing centipede.

The reason was that the wife of the city lord got a strange disease, and after consultation with several doctors with the best medical skills in Ironwood City, she needed to use the gallbladder of the earth-burrowing centipede to cure the disease.

With the memory of his previous life, Meng Xiang naturally knew that Qi Changzheng was lying.Leaving aside whether the mayor's wife is sick or not, he can be sure that the purpose of going to the ** Valley this time, or the main purpose is definitely not to hunt the so-called earth-burrowing centipede.

Meng Xiang knew very well that this trip to the Valley of Heaven was extremely crucial to Qi Changzheng's family.In the previous life, it was this action that made the Qi family skyrocket. In the Longmen meeting a few years later, not only Qi Changzheng and Qi Mufeng and his son were selected by the immortal sect, but the wife of the city lord and Qi Rong also became disciples of the immortal sect.

He heard all this from his friend who was selected by the Baiyang Sword Sect. The reason seems to be that the Qi family got some shit luck and got several seeds of the ancient sacred tree—the tree of the avenue, which were accidentally trapped in the body. Formed a Dao seed, directly crossed the first threshold between mortals and immortals, a terrible threshold that keeps countless ordinary people from the immortal gate.

After he heard the news from his friend, he began to recall what Qi Changzheng had done in the past few years.Originally, he was just curious, but what he didn't expect was that he actually found a clue.

One day, about half a year after he came to Ironwood City, he heard a news that the city lord Qi Changzheng issued an announcement saying that his wife had a strange disease and needed the guts of a monster called the earth-burrowing centipede in the valley. Dispensing medicine, I hope someone in the city can take over this task and get him the guts of the earth-burrowing centipede. After the task is completed, he will reward him heavily.

At that time, the rewards given by Qi Changzheng were very high, as high as 50 taels of silver alone. Other rewards included pills, precious soldiers, and precious armors, but the most enviable was the position of the captain of the city lord's guard.

Although the name of the captain of the city lord's guard is not very impressive, but in Ironwood City, he is an absolute position of real power, because he is only responsible to the city lord, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand, and the city lord's guard is the strongest in Ironwood City. A big power, no matter the major powers in the city or the merchants coming and going, must give it face. As the head of the entire guard - the captain of the guard, the benefits he can get are absolutely indispensable.

After the announcement was released, many people were moved, and they went to the valley to look for the monster called the earth-burrowing centipede, but the results were disastrous. The monster kills and kills.

After making a fuss for almost two months, no one got the guts of the earth-burrowing centipede, but there are already ten to five or six good players in Ironwood City.

Seeing that no one was willing to go to the ** Valley to die, Qi Changzheng sent his own guard of the city master to complete this task, and it succeeded, even though [-]% of the members of the guard of the city master died.

Later, some people said that Qi Changzheng took other people's lives to pave the road to the ** Valley, otherwise the city lord's guard alone would never be able to complete the task. Meng Xiang agreed with this point of view.

Under the leadership of Qi Mufeng, a group of people left Ironwood City in a mighty way, and under the leadership of an experienced old hunter, they marched towards the Valley of the Dead.Meng Xiang sat on a horse with black scales, slightly closed his eyes, completely indifferent to the fiery gazes that swept across his cheeks again and again.

The owner of the eyes is a great beauty, she has the title of the most beautiful woman in Tiemu City, and her identity is not simple, she is the goddaughter of the city lord Qi Changzheng, her name is Tie Ziyun.In her previous life, she used to frequent Meng Xiang's dreams.

The fact that she looks at Meng Xiang so frequently now is not because she is interested in him, but because of a promise made by Qi Changzheng that if Meng Xiang can get back the guts of the earth-burrowing centipede, he will betroth her to him as his wife. It cost money.

Meng Xiang also knew that Tie Ziyun was a poor person, she would die on the eve of the Longmen meeting, and it was Qi Changzheng and Qi Mufeng and his son who killed her.Because she went to assassinate Qi's father and son one night, although she was unsuccessful, she was sentenced to death.

The reason why Tie Ziyun wanted to kill Qi Mufeng was because of her father.Her father, Tie Liufeng, was the former captain of the city lord's guard, and he and Qi Changzheng were very good friends.Once the two went out to do errands, they were attacked by unknown people, and Tie Liufeng died.And Qi Changzheng was very interesting, so he took on the responsibility of taking care of Tie Liufeng's wife and daughter.

However, misfortunes never come singly. Just a few months later, Tie Liufeng's wife committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, saying that she missed her husband too much.But there is another saying in the market that Tie Liufeng's wife committed suicide because she couldn't bear Qi Changzheng's insult. Even Tie Liufeng's death was caused by Qi Changzheng coveting his wife's beauty.

It didn't take long for the rumors to appear in the market, and then they disappeared completely, and no one mentioned it again.Then Qi Changzheng adopted Tie Ziyun, Tie Liufeng's daughter, and considered him his daughter.However, judging from her assassination of Qi Mufeng later, she still knew the rumor that appeared briefly in the market, and believed it to be true.

Meng Xiang was not interested in these messy things, and never thought of marrying Tie Ziyun.The reason why he was willing to take risks, and even deliberately went to the Valley of Heaven, was entirely because he wanted to get the seeds of the tree of the avenue that his friends said changed the fate of the Qi family.

He wanted to use those seeds to make Zhao Xuezhu and Yan Shi, especially Zhao Xuezhu, be [-]% selected by the cultivator sect and become a cultivator.No matter in the previous life or in this life, he never thought of giving up Zhao Xuezhu, he wanted to let her live, and live well, until he was able to deal with all the ups and downs.At that time, he will take her back to his side, make it up to her, and be a true fairy couple with her.

In Meng Xiang's thoughts flying like catkins in the spring breeze, the whole team finally arrived at the ** Valley after a long journey.

Looking at the mountain shrouded in thick mist, Meng Xiang shook his head slightly, shaking his chaotic thoughts out of his brain, and his expression became more serious than ever, because this trip to the ** Valley is too important to him.

He absolutely does not allow the slightest mistake, no matter how difficult the front is, he must get the seeds of the tree of the great way, and no one can stop him.
